Hello.
When I got my new vibrant a few weeks ago, I put on nero 3 and it was blazing fast. Then I put on Nero 4 and it looked like it slowed down for some reason, then I put on another rom and it seems even slower
I just kept reflashing via clockwork recovery, without deleting the previous roms first, I just overwrited....
Someone told me to do ODIN to stock before putting another rom on your phone....well I dont know how to do ODIN to go back to 2.1.....and also if I do ODIN then I will lose unlock right?
Any help?
Ok,first backup all your contacts n payer appear if you have any, then reboot ur phone into recovery.
Use the volume rocker to scroll up n down and if you are in the red menu select voodoo lagfix with the power button then follow the menu to disable it then select go back, then install zip from sd card then scroll down and check on downloads, if you downloaded your toms to the sd the zip file. Should. Be there.
B4 reinstall delete all data and cache select go back to do this then select install zip from sd to go back n scroll down to downloads n select your rom zip then select yes n you should be done.
Now be patient let it boot n give it like15 minutes. Then reboot again to fix bugs then wait again b4 you use it otherwise it will be buggy again

Sorry, it just bothered me. Backup all of your apps. Not just the ones you paid for.
Have you checked to make sure that Voodoo was enabled? I believe there's an app in the Market called Voodoo Toggle that can help.
Also, if your phone is running slowly, there are a couple things you can try before flashing a whole new ROM. Check to see if there are any frozen services slowing up your phone. Go into Settings > Applications > Running Services and see if anything is stuck on "Restarting..." If it is, tap to stop the process and you may even want to consider freezing the service in Titanium Backup if this happens often. Another thing to do is fix permissions in ROM Manager. You will need to do one of the fixes in this thread before you run Fix Permissions. I recommend the one in post 3 because it's easiest. I do both these things when my phone slows up drastically, and it's worked every time.
You may also wish to trying clearing cache and dalvik-cache from the Recovery menu.
I have a Mac and have never been able to ODIN back to stock between flashes. My phone is still very snappy and doesn't really give me any problems.
I was just finished installing a webtop hack for the Bell Atrix and apparently I didn't "unthaw" everything Moto related I needed to before "freezing" LauncherPro to resort back to the stock launcher..and now I've got no homescreen or nothing..
The phone boots up fine and everything..and I can get to my unlock code screen (and do an emergency call etc), but as soon as I unlock my phone it starts glitching out.
What can I do? Reboots do nothing..I do have access to the phone via webtop mod now..but even the Mobile View there does nothing..
Any ideas anyone?
I'm no expert, but have lurked long enough to guess that you probably need to flash the sbf file or something, to get yourself back to stock.
Problem is there is no Bell sbf yet. One has popped up here the last day or so but it is actually the Aussy sbf, which does technically work but there may be underlying "issues".
The problem is that you have no laucher installed?
If so:
Try to push the blurhome apk through adb.
Don't know how to do so however...
Use search
if i remember right, all you have to do is change the launcherpro apk back to apk because tiba freezes them by changing file extension, in webtop, can you access apk files in the system.

I can't seem to get into the system folders though thru webtop or the Moto Phone Portal.. All's I can get to are the internal and external SD card..
Is there a way I could push a Launcherpro apk to the phone?

I assume you can rename a file through adb but you need to know the path and that it gets called when its frozen.
Otherwise you can do a factory reset through recovery.
Thanks..yea I just went ahead and did a factory reset. Was pleasantly surprised when I never lost root, webtop, or my Gingerbread theme (figured it would get wiped to scratch..lol)
nice! welcome back

In the future you can just use a desktop and log onto you're market account and download any launcher. It will be pushed to your phone and you can proceed to unfreeze your launcher. Won't lose any data that way.

good point I had thought of that but my thinking was limited to redownloading launcher pro which wouldn't have worked. meanwhile adw or another launcher probably would have worked out.
Have searched and couldn't find anything on this.
I have a rooted Optimus V with Backside IHO CM7. I use go launcher as my launcher of choice. ADW came with the ROM I flashed but deleted it after installing go launcher. Well, yesterday go launcher had an update and something didn't go right. I'm not even sure how it happened but go launcher was deleted. In my infinite wisdom I rebooted the phone. But now there is no launcher to launch the phone. So it is stuck at the boot screen (the picture of the little green fella with green light circling him). Not sure how to get into boot to recovery when the phone is stuck at boot animation.
So somebody says to restore the backup. But any computer I plug my phone into will not recognize my phone. It does show up as "Removable disc F:" and when I click on that it says "Please insert disc into removable drive F:"
So in essence I am lost and stuck as to how to get my phone back.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Do Battery pull, and boot directly into whatever recovery you have flashed, use your keys to scroll down to the backup and restore menu, and there you go. Or you could a fishable zip launcher (one in a .zip format ) and flash that in recovery. Hope that helped!

So here's a possible solution:
1.In the zip file of your rom,add the launcher in system/app folder without extracting zip.
2.Now,enter in recovery,enable usb mass storage and send this zip to sd card.
3.Now flash this zip directly.
Hope this helps.
Yeah, I would try getting the launcher apk or zip and going the recovery route. I can't believe it let you delete all of your launchers. I messed up adw once but I was still able to get my default launcher to go. Of course I don't remember exactly how. I suffer from CRS.
Thanks to you all. My problem was a noob problem. I couldn't figure out how to boot into recovey. Once I figured that out, I was good. Thank you for the quick responses.
This thread is for noobs by noobs , a place to talk about the app so that we don't clutter the ROM threads .
I hope this works out and helps anyone including myself with using this app.
Here is another GUIDE by JJsax posted on The Root Of All EVO that is a lot more detailed then this one.
The Official forum for BootManager is Init2winit if you would like to learn even more about the app.
As I learn about this app ,as to how and what works with it I'll update this and maybe it will help everyone out that is trying to use BootManager.
This app also works with EVO 3D's with hboot 1.50 s-on
Thank XDA member mnomaanw for that information.
If you use this app and have the time to reply to this post , please share what ROMs you've got to work and a little info on how you installed it. This way I can add it to the op to make it easier and faster for everyone to find.
This is what I've learned so far.
How to install* ROMs via Boot Manager...
Thank seraph863 for filling me in and writing this up. I just changed a few details cause his was for a specific ROM.
MAKE SURE THE ROM IS ON THE ROOT OF YOUR SD CARD NOT IN ANY FOLDERS
1.)* PURCHASE Boot Manager. It does a License check upon boot, so your jacked version will just give you a headache. Seriously, I tried it. Doesn't work.
Here is a Market link to Boot Manager if you didn't already purchase it.
1.a) IF you didn't purchase it... WIPE ALL Boot Manager data and files, including the folder on your SD Card. Then buy it and let it setup again.
2.) Open SuperUser. Hit Menu -> Settings -> Disable Logging.
3. Open BootManager. If you're at work and on Wi-Fi, you may not pass the License check due to firewall issues. If you get a black screen, or license failures, switch to 3/4G and try again.
4.) If all is good, you're asked to Setup the Phone. Do so now. [ You will need to set up your Phone ROM any time you flash a new ROM or kernel to your phone ROM.]
5.) Once installed, hit Menu -> Settings -> Force Large Boot.img
6.) Swipe right to Slot 1. Hit Install .zip and browse to your downloaded ROM.zip file. Make sure to check the Wipe System, Data, and Cache boxes so that it will wipe before it flashes the ROM. Select EXT4 as the file structure.
[This is the important part. This build will take a LONG time. Do NOT use your phone while it is running.]
8.) Once the install has been successful if you need to flash a kernel , theme gapps etc..., go back to Slot 1 and select Install .zip (again). Choose the .zip file. Do NOT wipe system, data or cache. It will ask you to over write it just hit OK.
9.) You should now be ready to boot to your new ROM! Celebrate!
Since this is for the EVO 3D I recommend to always use ext4 as your file structure.
If you get any error messages start over.
Known working ROMs to my knowledge.
These are ROMs that I've set up.
Infected Eternity Phone ROM and sd ROM
KMyers CM7 beta 7.4* with gapps ext4 sd ROM
MeanROM ext4 sd ROM
TrevE Zone v2.3.12 ext4 phone and sd ROM
Mikrunny ext4 phone ROM and sd ROM
XDA members setups
JJsax setup
CDMA Evo3D
hboot 1.50 s-on
TWRP 2.0 touch recovery
Phone ROM SteeleROM 2.73
ROM1 CM9 (The latest version couple days old)
ROM2 Evervolve ICS
mnomaanw's set up
PhoneROM: ViperROM Redline v2.5 RC2
ROM1:CyanogenMOD9
ROM2:MIUI v2.1.6
I've found it to work better to flash and set up my ROM on the phone ROM and then back it up and restore it to a slot.
If your having problems restoring backups and your using TWRP recovery try using CWM. I was having issues with TWRP and since I went back to CWM (touch and 5.0.2.0 both work great but there is no usb mount on the touch version) and I haven't had a single issue restoring a backup to a ROM slot.
My setup will be changing all the time.
CDMA EVO 3D
Eng Hboot s-off
Radio 1.06.00.1216
Phone ROM Infected Eternity Sense 3.0
ROM1 Mikrunny
ROM2 EVOZone
ROM3 SteelROM
ROM4 MeanROM Aria51
Thank you for putting this here. I know I'm to blame for going off topic in some threads about Boot Manager.
I too am having issues getting a ROM to load into slot 1.
Here's my setup...
SteeleROM 2.73
Anthrax #2 kernel
Over 5GB of storage space available.
HBOOT 1.50
TWRP 2.0 recovery (the newest touch one)
I load steele just fine as the phone ROM then try to load CM9, or whatever other ROM into slot 1 it goes through everything then it get's killed at mounting img's. I have it setup for screen on, to load large files, and I even have SU logging turned off. This happens everytime I try to load a ROM into slot 1 it just kills it and never finishes 100%

Mine say they install fine and they finish but when I hit boot to the slot it just gets stuck on the splash screen.
I had TrevE Zone on my phone ROM but just switched to eternity. I got MeanROM to install in slot 2 and it booted up fine and is running great but thats the only one I out of the 3 I tried. I set the boot.img to large or what ever the setting is cause thats what they said to do in the video on the site for the app. My real issue though is that restoring my backup to a slot it installs to my system memory. I would like to be able to install backups cause I've read they run better. Hopefully some that knows more about this will come in here and school us a little, I'll even add it to the op and make this a guide if we get enough info.
Here's my quick and dirty instructable I posted in the CM9 thread.
How to install this via Boot Manager...
1.) PURCHASE Boot Manager. It does a License check upon boot, so your cracked version will just give you a headache. Seriously, I tried it. Doesn't work.
1.a) IF you didn't purchase it... delete ALL Boot Manager files, including the folder on your SD Card. Then buy it and let it setup again.
2.) Open SuperUser. Hit Menu -> Settings -> Disable Logging
3. Open BM. If you're at work and on Wi-Fi, you may not pass the License check due to firewall issues. If you get a black screen, or license failures, uninstall BM and delete the folder. Switch to 3/4G and try again.
4.) If all is good, you're asked to Setup the Phone. Do so now.
5.) Once installed, hit Menu -> Settings -> Force Large Boot.img
6.) Swipe right to Slot 1. Hit Install .zip and browse to your downloaded CM9 .zip file. Wipe System, Data, and Cache. Select EXT4 as the file structure
7.) This is the important part. This build will take a LONG time. Do NOT use your phone while it is running.
8.) Once the install has been successful, go back to Slot 1 and select Install .zip (again). Choose the Google Apps .zip file. Do NOT wipe system, data or cache.
9.) You should now be ready to boot to your new ROM! Celebrate!
Warning: Several users report to NOT use any Backup app such as Titanium to restore your apps and data, since the apps on this ROM are very very different. Your mileage may vary.
FYI I'm doing this by memory, so the minor steps might not be accurate (i.e. disable Superuser logging).
If you get any error messages, start over. I assure you, this process worked for me step by step.
Go to their official forum

I'll have another look at it cause I really want to get this to work and its driving me crazy cause I can usually figure problems out on my own or by searching but I just can't get this.
Thanks for the replies.

Which ROM are you using?
I would start over. Use a file manager to delete your ROM from the SD Card and take another image. Make sure you have plenty of storage on your SD card. You could also try clearing the Cache and Dalvik.
You can always get back to your phone ROM manually by booting to Recovery and flashing sdcard\bootmanager\phonerom\update.zip
Edit: Don't forget to check "Use Large boot.img" within Boot Manager

Should I just delete the whole bootmanager folder and clear the data for the app also?
another thing is why when I restore a backup to a slot its installing to my internal memory?
Yeah I just had another look at your list and there aren't many ROMs for this phone on there and they look old.
Thanks again for the help.

I wiped everything out and starting over. I'm going to just try and install viperom in one slot and see if that boots, then I'm going to try and restore a backup to another slot from within a ROM slot to see if that will fix my internal memory issue cause it wont have anywhere to install to . I'll post back with what happens.

I disabled logging in su checked off larg boot.img then whet to slot one hit install zip choose cm9 ext4 then checked all the wipe opinions, when that finished I flashed the gapps the same way but without wiping . Everything finished with that I didn't get any errors but when I went to boot to that slot it just hung at the splash screen.
I did that 2 times with cm9 , 1 time with the Eternity ROM sense 3.0 r130 , 1 time with Team Nocturnal's Blackened ROM and they all got stuck at the splash screen.
I did get MeanROM to work using those same steps last night.
Now with the restore of my backup I did basically the same thing but it doesn't give any wipe options when you install it but it would get an error saying boot.img something like that and then I would get a low memory popup saying I only had about 30mb left internal memory when I had over 800mb when I started.
Edit: I have about 6gb free on a 16gb class 10 sd card. I believe its a Samsung card I think.
Edit2: I finished flashing viperom and now that to is stuck on the splash screen. Is there a way to wipe caches for that slot and fix permissions like you would for a regular ROM in recovery if something like this happened.
I'm really starting to think I wasted $3 this is very frustrating sorry.
Thanks for your replies and trying to help.
I went into recovery to go to flash the update zip to restore my phone ROM but when I open the bootmanager folder I don't see anything in it. I'm using twrp 2.0 recovery. Could this have something to do with my problems?

The steps in your previous post were all correct, except you said you turned OFF "Use large boot.img" ? Make sure that option is ENABLED (has an X on it)
I'm confused as to why the app is trying to install to your internal memory... Mine installs to my SD Card. Make sure the USB cable is not plugged into the phone, and try increasing your screen timeout so it doesn't sleep during the install.
The fact that you're getting the splash screen means you're getting somewhere. Maybe you're being too impatient on the install? Wait a few minutes even after it says Install Complete before continuing.

I said I checked the larger boot.img off meaning it was enabled sorry for that misunderstanding. I flashed 2 of the slots last night and didn't even test them till today so I don't think that its cause I'm not waiting long enough. Why would none of the folders inside of the bootmanager folder show up in twrp recovery? Could I copy and paste the phone update.zip to the root of my sd card so that I can recover without having to nand restore cause I've already wiped and restored about 10 times trying to get this to work.

Phone ROM: SteelROM 2.72
Slot 1: AOSP ICS - wifi doesn't work
Slot 2: CM9 - (google talk and books FC)
Slot 3: MIUI
Slot 4: CM7 (kmeyers)
Boot Manager has a problem trying to restore from a NAND backup, it did the same thing to me where it was installing to the phone's internal memory. I was trying to figure out the problem, but I moved on without success.
I've had the best time installing tricking ROM's by this method. I installed CM7 to a slot, booted into CM7 and installed the ICS and CM9 from there. It's been pretty successful.
If you are getting it to freeze with mounting images, I came across this issue because my SD card did not have enough room. You can try to free up some more space to see if this is the same issue.
I had most problems installing due to not enough space on my SD card, I now have a 32gb card, and have had no issues
Also, I've never had to set it to large boot.img to get things to work, and make sure you disable logging in SU, and use EXT4

To quickly get back to your phone ROM (make sure you setup your phoneRom in boot manager first to create the update.zip file, you need to recreate this anytime you change the ROM or Kernel for your phoneROM)
Boot into Recovery
Install the update.zip inside the \boot manager\phonerom\update.zip (not sure if location is accurate, but you get the idea)
Reboot system
Phone should boot to phone ROM, or you can install any other update.zip from your slots, to boot to them etc

What cm7 ROM would you recommend ? For some reason I couldn't see files inside of the BootManager folder but I checked and they are there. I have about 5gb free on a 16gb card ,I was looking into getting a 32gb if I get this app working.

ROOT AND S-OFF
Make sure you have a PC, an Insulated Wire (Very important!), a EVO 3D, about 3-5 hours, and at least 3 GB of space on 3VO ( Unless you want to play Risky, then its only 2GB).
Backup your data with this app. This is only a 30 day trial. It backs up your Applications, Photos, Music, Videos, Contacts, Call log, Browser Bookmarks, SMS (text messages), MMS, Calendar, System Settings, Home Screens (including shortcut positions), Alarms, Dictionary, Music Playlists, APNs and more....
Follow the instructions for S-OFF and Root.Ramjet73's Quick and Dirty . Dont worry if it takes you 15 tries to get S-OFF using the wire, it took me multiple times as well. Now you have a recovery, 4EXT. I think I should tell you that you can make nandroid backups, full system backups. You can also aces this if you cant access the rest of your phone.To get here, battery pull, volume down and power down, then recovery.
ROM FLASHING (OPTIONAL
Make sure you have an HBOOT of 1.58, As well as S-OFF with Junopunut Bear and Root. To check if you have ROOT, use this app. To check HBOOT, Pull your battery, put it back in, holv volume down and power down. It should say what HBOOT there. If you somehow have HBoot 1.50 or lower, proceed to step 6.
THERE IS NO GOING BACK TO STOCK HTC SENSE ICS!!!
Download "PG86IMG_JBear_1.50.5050_hboot_GB.zip," place it into the root of your SD card, or a place with no folders, but rename it to " PG86IMG.zip". To flash, remove battery, place back in, hold volume down, and power button. When it tells you if you want to flash the upgrade, do it.
THERE IS NO GOING BACK TO STOCK HTC SENSE ICS!!!
Now look back at your HBOOT. If its 1.50, that is perfect. You needed to do this because all ROMs for HTC EVO 3D doesnt work with an HBOOT higher than 1.50.5050. Now, pick a ROM to flash. The best one at the time of this post is Gangnam Style. Compared to your old ROM, the Sprint ROM, this one is Jellybean, and does not have HTC Sense. It also doesnt have the 3D camera working, but honestly, when do you use it? No, the gallery wont open 3D pictures correctly. If you want to see this ROM in action, look at This.
Download the most recent Gangnam ROM, GAPPS 4.2 is recommended, 4.2 Keyboard is an updated version of the stock keyboard in GAPPS. Some ROMs have a problem where it builds up a lot of WiMax logs. RamJet73 created a .zip that you flash that fixes this. When I flashed this, I stopped getting SMS and MMS. I can send, but couldnt recieve. If this happens to you, just download Google Voice. It fixed my problem. To flash, pull battery, put back in, volume down and power down. Go to recovery, and unless your going risky, go to backup and backup your device. This does not backup contacts SMS, and other stuff, so use the app I recommended before.
Move Gangnam Style ROM to SD, as well as GAPPS,Keyboard and Wimax fix .zip. After backing up, you can move the backup folder in sdcard/clockworkmod to your PC, you can move it back whenever you want. Even thought this wont wipe your SD card, you can remove it to be safe. When you are ready, Go back to your recovery, select "wipe|format", select "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache and dalvik cache."
Video of process (entering Recovery, wiping data, flashing items.)
If you took out your SD card, put it back. Go back to your Recovery Menu and select "install from SD" then "choose ZIP from SD." First click on GANGNAM STYLE, flash that. Then Flash GAPPS, 4.2 Keyboard and the Wimax fixer zip. You are now done! Leave and reboot. If it doesnt work, but you see the spinning "CyanogenMod" boot animation for 15 minutes, then pull your battery and reboot. If it happens again, wipe only flash Gangnam Style until your phone turns on correctly.
Do not blame me if something happens to your phone.
I like helping people with their Android phone, expecially another 3VO owner!
