Ok, before you tell me to search, I have. For two days. I have looked at everything from forums to youtube videos on how to root the droid eris. The thing I am trying to do the unrevoked method. The thing I can't get past is in the begining. I go to the hboot screen by pressing volume down and power. I plug in my usb cable and nothing happens. I think I'm supposed to see it say hboot usb plug. It doesn't. I go to devise manager just to check and it doesn't show my phone. So I'm sure you can see my frustration not even being able to get past the first step. Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Matt
Got it fixed using the 1 click root from the market. Then added XTR Sense rom. Works great.
Congrats and welcome to a whole new Eris!
Yes, congratulations, and furthermore, excellent choice of a "replacement" ROM, I just recently went back to xtrSENSE after perhaps four months playing with Froyo.
FYI, I suspect the issue was you might've needed the Windows drivers for the phone loaded before using the unREVOKED method, but it's just a guess.
Install HTCSync (available from HTC's website) for the Droid Eris and that'll install the correct drivers, which will take a moment to load the first time you plug your phone in via USB next time. Also, give it a moment to load those drivers before doing anything like mounting the SD card to the computer via USB.
I just rooted mine back in December and the 1 click was the one that made the most sense for me, i didnt even kno bout the unrevolked til after i was rooted....but im loving the cm7 gingerbread roms, for being such early versions there really stable

You were probably afraid that you'd let the smoke out.
I'm about to take the plunge myself. I use the Trackmaster app for recording lap times. From my research, Sense does not support the SPP (Serial Port Protocol) bluetooth profile. But, I understand that a non-sense (AOSP) ROM will have the entire bluetooth stack intact.
I've been following the tazz and shed GB threads with much admiration. It's just amazing what some folks will do for coffee money. And guys, I wish you all the best with your personal struggles!
My plan is to root this week. Make sure the phone remains stable. Practice that Up-Volume & Power Button thing a few times to make sure I can follow the flash procedure. Then grab GB next week.
I've read the rooting for dummies thread, and will use the one-click root app from the market. Free one first. Then if all is well I'll download the pay one.
Successful GB load will get a meal, and after I confirm my bluetooth GPS unit works with Trackmaster, coffee money will follow.
As you may be able to tell from the above sentence fragments (or maybe the straight forward I don't give a sh.t if I violate any social protocol plan) I'm a former Engineer (retired), so constructive advice / criticism is greatly appreciated. And I got the time to double-check everything.

Many people with less analytical skills than you have rooted, and it sounds like you've done your homework, so it should be a snap for you. The only thing I will add is to re-emphasize what you proabably have already read - that you should:
- check the file integrity of all file downloads (using MD5 sigs or "jar verify" principles for ROM files, e.g. use 'scary alien's" AFV (Androd File Verifier) free market app)
- charge the phone well before any flashing operations (and don't let it sit in HBOOT or Fastboot modes for extended period of time - it discharges rapidly, even if plugged in)
- make a Nandroid backup of your existing ROM. If things don't work out with the BT issues, you can always go back to where you were, little worse for the wear.
cheers and good luck
Thanks - didn't have the MD5 crypto check in the plan, but it is now.
I just can't believe how good the work being done here is. I used to contract for much poorer work for much more money! This just proves that passion beats bucks every time!
p.s. I pushed that Thanks button for you, but damned if I can tell if it worked
p.p.s Got the Thanks thing - I see it now.

One thing to add: the Gingerbread ROMs require you to download and flash a google apps .zip file before you restart the phone, unlike many other ROMs that include Google apps as part of the ROM. So, that is one more file that you need to check an MD5 hash, and the procedure will be something like this:
- download and verify the GSB/Tazz and Google apps zip files
- copy them to the root directory of the SD card, and check the MD5s there as well
- root the phone
- restart it to get the root process to install custom recovery
- restart in Recovery
- Nandroid backup what you have
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe Dalvik cache
- Flash GSB (or Tazz, whichever one you choose)
- Flash Google apps
- restart the phone

Interesting doogald. I understood that root should be done first before any downloading. Thanks for the above instructions! I had things a little out of order. Would you mind clarifying when the SD card format should be done? I was going to:
- root the phone
- format SD
- copy ROM and gapps
- MD5 check
- restart ... and follow your order above.

Honestly, I think that the SD card format is unnecessary. Unless I am mistaken, it was suggested in part to rule out issues people might be having moving from rooted Froyo to Gingerbread, to erase the SD card's /.android_secure hidden folder - where apps that are moved to SD Card in Froyo are stored. That will not be an issue for you if you are stock Eris.
However, it won't hurt to do it, and that would be the step that it should be done.
Thanks again. Its nice to get confirmation.
Ignorant question - The one-click root app says to "reboot" the eris. How do you reboot the eris?
I searched forum - read the whole one-click app thread - googled "reboot eris" and got nothing.
NEVERMIND!!! I turned the phone off, vol - & power, select recovery with vol +, then select reboot.
And I got a Superuser Permission... widget now.

FYI rebooting the phone at it's simplest is just telling the phone to shut down the Android OS and then boot it back up. This doesn't have to involve actually shutting the power off to the phone but it can if you so choose. Also, some ROMs and/or through some apps/widgets, you can explicitly command your phone to "reboot" from within the Android interface. I just didn't want you to think that any time a "reboot" is needed, that you have to boot into recovery and choose the "reboot" option from there.
It's just like a reboot on a computer. Actually powering the computer off isn't really necessary to affect a reboot.
Welcome to root and XDA!
Thanks!
I saw a lot of references to Titanium Backup so I DLed the free version. Its happy now after I enabled USB Debugging and download from Unknown sources. So now that I have double checked I Know I got root now.
Oh, and since I confirmed root I uninstalled the one-click root app and made a donation to the San Antonio Food Bank.
Welcome to the dark side ! At least we have coffee and cookies here !!! LOL
Seriously though, so what ROM did you end up choosing ? Any time someone new to the forums finally roots and flashes a ROM we like to see how things are going and see that your process was successful !

Now I gotta finish up downloading my apps and getting things set up. This is totally cool.

- copy goodies from PC
- wipe data
- wipe dalvik
- flash GSB
- flash gapps
- flash c2c
- reboot

There are two Skype apps for Android: a "special" one for VZW that does not work with WiFi (at least on the Eris it does not), and a real version that does work over WiFi. The VZW version will use Verizon minutes to make calls to phone numbers but 3G for Skype to Skype (and international calls.) I think that the real Skype app uses 3G or WiFi for everything, but 'm not sure.

I have been using cm7 for 3 months now. so, i guess the honeymoon period is over as all the faults which i have been living with are very irritating now..
1. If the sd card is inserted when switching on the phone, it reboots automatically 1-2 minutes after it is on.
2. ADW launcher force close *every* time the phone switches on. This is followed by a reboot or ( if i am lucky enough ) , normal functioning
3. Searching for networks doesnt work 90% of the time..
4. Sometimes in the middle of running an app or playing a game, the phone gets stuck and i have to remove the battery to reboot.
I dont know the reasons for any of this, please help!!
Galaxy i5500

gingerbread 2.3.7
768 Mhz
Thanks in advance..
what releaseare you running? latest is v2.3. Try doing a complete wipe (data/cache/dalvik/battery), make a backup first.
can you please tell me where to check for the release and where v2.3 is? and will i lose my apps when updating?
you could check on madteam forum, and download latest release 2.3
Try it without wiping your data, only /cache and dalvik cache. If there are some bugs, backup your apps (i.e. using titanium backup), and do a complete wipe.
All infos on download and install are on that topic..
is it working without any problems for you?
Yeah, it works like a charm
thanks a lot for your help.. one last question, i cant access wi-fi from my phone..so can you please tell the where the download link is? and the process for updating..?
You should download from your PC the zip file. You could find it on gooinsideme.com, browser to psyke folder and search for the last release. Then follow the instructions on that post.

Your problem should be solved by now, but just so you know, 768MHz is officially unstable.
I use 729MHz and its FAST without reboot/force close problems. This will most probably solve your reboot issue (I know this because it happened with me) .
oh, and this is the link you will be needing for your current/future downloads - http://goo.im/devs/psyke83/roms/galaxy5 - bookmark it.

Hi,
This is a unique kinda problem (not very unique actually but only faced by couple of people) on any cm10 based rom I have tried till now.
The issue is that after I properly flash the rom (yes, I have double checked and flashed roms exactly following OP's instructions in all cases), I find that pre-existing media files (pictures,music and videos) are not getting scanned at all and added to the stock gallery/music app. if I take any picture or upload any media using MTP with the rom, its added properly.
So, I have tried all suggestions (fixing permission, full wipe, delete .nomedia etc) and still no solutions. I am sure that the issue is with mediascanner and I have monitored it and found that eventhough I manually stop and start it using "Rescan Media ROOT", after runnnig for like 20-30 secs, it just says restarting again and again.
Additionally I have also found that when connecting via MTP, eventhough the SD Card and internal memory has alot of stuffs, they are not shown. So I think issue can be with the this also.
I've grown very frustated over last few days due to this and I cannot use any of the amazing cm10 roms that we have and have to go back to my old ics rom.
PLEAZZZ HELP !!!
I also encourage all others who are facing similar issue to post here which would definately help in understanding and fixing the issue.
Thanks !!!
really man? CM10 is not even beta yet. its got bugs. deal with them or use ICS. Im on ICS still due to them.
Complaining about bugs in a build that is so far from being stable, that'll cause trouble.

If it would be a bug in the build only, then it should have affected all who are using it, why only few are getting affected.
And yes, I know its not right to complain about still in beta cm10 releases and thats why I'm not bothering any Devs for it. I have started this thread in Q&A so that guys who are facing the issue can match the different conditions/scenarios it is happening as I know its not a coincidence that its happening on some devices and not on others.

Its either s/w or h/w man.
And from what I can tell its s/w. so its on them. get logs, and send them in.
Entropy has said to set screen to stay awake while charging in dev options. Then plug your phone into charger and reboot then give it about 15 min. to scan. This is to keep media scanner from eating battery, but you could try it and see if has any effect on your issue.

Yeah , my issue is completely opposite of what most guys were facing (which is supposedly been solved in latest builds). In my case, mediascanner is not running at all to scan all media.

I would do a clean install of cm10, and NOT use the root media scanner app, and then follow what entropy said (keep display on while it scans).
Also, go to manage apps and clear data on DRM, Galley, and Media storage. Reboot and then play some music through your favorite file explorer. The Media Scanner will rebuild data in about 10 minutes to half an hour (try to keep screen on if you can)

Just tried this as I'm having the same problem, no luck. My music player was working fine yesterday then it decided to forget where all the songs were.
Same problem here with Task's AOKP latest(04/9)
I didnt have any problem with the previous release... BUT:
What i already did:
1- Full wipe to flash the new aokp release.
Tibe restore the rescanMedia Root... didnt touch it.
Media not working
2- Flash again without full wipe. Media not working
searched for .nomedia files. No results.
3- Flash again with another full wipe plus system format.
Checked with no Apps installed, media scan not working.
Installed RescanMediaRoot... didnt work.
After that i quit and decided to sleep. All my work on it was with the phone pluged. I dont know why but after unpluged a few musics show up. Only 40 of 2000. No pics.
4-Full wipe + chache format + System format + flash the previous AOKP release. MEDIA NOT WORKING.
was working yesterday...
5- Nandroid restore to number 3.
Thats where i am now. Stuck with the problem with aparently any JB release.
PS. Any new pic shows on gallery...

I'm still facing the issue with apparently any JB build till now .. right from the first one entropy released as cm10 previes build and trust me , I tried all (well almost)
Now , from your problem it seems that once with some particular way of flashing roms, we do something that causes media scan to get corrupt..
Tell me this .. before when it was working.. have u ever tried going to gallery and then settings ?? I never got that menu on any JB release...
After making too much efforts in vain to get it right , I have resorted to the alternatives :
1. Quickpic as replacement to Gallery app.. Keep the default gallery app running for camera..
2. Poweramp full version as replacement to Music.. It has a folder rescan option under setting and searches all ur music..
3. MX video player for video playback.. However I still find few codecs doesn't support audio till now.. but it is issue with all roms for all people afaik..
Let me know if you find a solution and get it working again...
I'm on AOKP for months. Never used any other rom. Never even installed to see what happens.
So, recently Task release his JB AOKP. It is 1 week older and he released 3 or 4 builds.
The first release i did not installed, The second one was released on same day and i did a full wipe to install it from AOKP ICS.
So far everything was working good.
Then came another release, the 30/08. Installed without a full wipe, just dalvik and cache, and everything was working fine.
From the build 30/08 to the build 04/09 i did bought Tibu Pro.
So i did a full wipe to install the 04/09 and the bug show up as you can see on my previous post.
The weirdest thing is full wiping + format System + format cache + install an old AOKP(30/08) and the bug are still there.
Could be that app RescanMediaRoot? Do you have it?
what do this app do to disable the scan? If we disable and uninstall what happens?
I do have setting options on gallery but when i click it nothing happens. No setting there.
Edited:
I just checked BetterBatteryStats and it looks weird. No kernel wakelocks... not even 1.
The most interesting was the Partial wakelocks:
MediaScannerService is the number one with 12min. Its running but nothing changes.
I dont like poweramp cuz the AwesomeBeats wont work with it.

I don't think "rescan Media root' app has anything to do with it .. actually
in my case , I never had this working since the start and at that time I didn't even knew about this app.
I have also noticed the partial wakelocks and if you go to running apps , you will see media storage running when u start a music/gallery app , but nothing happens..
I did tried alot to figure the problem out and seek help from all dev's that I can from this one and i9100 forum , but no results.. So finally I made peace with the workaround I mentioned...
One thing you can try in ur case is full wipe + format system/cache/data and then install a ICS rom.. after reboot.. try any JB rom again....
Good luck !! :good:

I'l try that and repport back.
The problem with media on the external SD card I believe is directly due to the change made in the location of the external SD card card within the directory. Many apps were built for ICS and GB and so when the scan is performed, the app isn't picking up the external SD card which used to be found within the internal SD. Now if media scanner isn't finding media within the internal SD card, that is a whole different story. I have media on my internal SD card and it has worked flawlessly. If you have music on the extsd and are using poweramp you can go into setting and check the box for the extsd outside the internal SD storage and it imports fine. Oh, and I'm running the latest AOKP with the Fluxxi kernel.

I do have pics on the Camera360 folder(internal SD) and it wont show on gallery.
I'll wipe everything and flash JB without the external. But i just find out something strange.
Im on recovery right now and using the file explorer of MrRobinson aroma to test it.
looks like the external its NOT on MNT folder. There are not and MNT folder on root. The external is called Sdcard and there is an emmc folder that looks empty.
Is it right? I really dont know nothing about the folder structure.

Second time on Aromas file manager the emmc show all files now.
I belive all this means nothing.
Not all file explorers are equal. You need a root explorer to see the folders. Your music if on the internal, should be in the Music folder following the path home/sdcard/Audio/Music. Pictures on internal should be under home/sdcard/DCIM/Camera. When the external sd card is inserted it should show up in three places. At the root of the directory,you will find it as home/extSdCard, then under home/mnt/extSdCard and finally under home/storage/sdcard1. sdcard is the internal memory. I just moved photos to my extSdCard and rebooted the phone and media scanner didn't find them and setting don't exist on the gallery so you can't direct it to the new path of the extSdCard. So, I just replicated what you have been experiencing. If you move your photos to the Camera folder following the path I listed they should show up. The only reason my music works on Poweramp is because I can go to settings and check the sdcard1 folder under storage. Man I hope you don't mind all this rambling I'm doing and I hope I'm not insulting your intelligence.
No you are not. All this is new to me.
Thanks for all the info. It helped me.
Problem is gonne here.
What I did was:
1- clear cache and dalvik
2- data/factory reset
3- format system
4- format cache
5- format data
6- format internal SD
7- installed latest AOKP+ Gapps. Task's gapps don't come with Gmusic so I installed from Justin's Aroma with 1 or 2 inverted and Apex as a system app. But I did installed the normal gapps before try the Aroma.
First boot fine. I did config WiFi and gaccount slowly.
I didn't let the screen turn off.
When I first open the Gmusic everything was there.
Then I installed Titanium backup pro and did my full restore.
Tested another player , Mixzing, and was all there.
I forgot to save any pic on external since I do have Dropbox and it send it to my PC asap. So I didn't worry about pics.
Everything is working!!!!:beer:
Thank you for all your help.

A no wipe in my book:
Here is how i do a no wipe.
In recovery, mount and storage and choose format system.
Go back and wipe Cache and Dalvik
Install / flash the rom.
A full wipe in my book:
Into recovery, mount and storage and format system, data and cache.
Go back, wipe/ reset data, cache and dalvik.
Install/flash rom
Format of the internal SD:
Here is what i do:
Make a app backup with TB to my external sd
Make a nandroid to my external sd
Make sure i also have a efs backup on my external sd
I only save mods, roms on my internal sd in my download map and this map i move to my external sd.
Then i reboot to recovery.
Mount and storage and format internal sd.
And to be save and have it nice a clean, also format system, data and cache and because i am not only a flashohalic but also a cleanohalic, i then wipe/reset factory reset, cache and dalvik.
Probably a big overkill, but he, done it several times it works for my and it only cause a few seconds.
Then i reboot, skip the setup/registration, move my download map back to my internal sd (don't like flashing from external sd).
Back in cwm, again a full wipe which includes the formats data, system and cache.
Then flash the rom and setting it up.
This way, you have a nice clean fresh S3, but and this is a big BUT.
Backup, backup backup and don't forget a efs backup to your external sd and pc.
Don't think lightly about those backups, when imei is broken and you don't have a backup, your a done, only thing left is a visit to Samsung.
Good luck when you are going for it.
And i know, Aroma installer is also doing some automatic wiping, but i am just a bit old fashion and like to do some stuff manually.
Bootloader.
As you all know, the new bootloader can be a pain in the ass.
But, i am still not sure that Samsung only released the new bootloader just to discourages us to flash custom stuff.
So, if you like flashing stuff and you are on the new bootloader like me, just remember when you entered recovery and you are done flashing stuff, use Triangle Away from Chainfire,
But, for some, like on my wifes phone, the latest version works without problem, but on my S3, i need to use the older version, 2.37, why, don't have a glue.
Not all S3 are the same, although have the same name and using the same chipsets.
But you can also use the old bootloaders, with does, you just have to run Triangle Away just once, when entering recovery, it will not count.
Your own choose.
About Sudden Death.
A lot of threads are open for this.
My 5 cents:
I have the "sudden Death" chips VTU00M chip with 0xf1 on both our phones.
Mine is running since 27 may 2012 without problems, still fast and smooth.
The other is up and running since 31 Augustus 2012 and also still fast and smooth.
Both have been rooted from day one, the only thing i do, is turning the devices off completely for a few minutes 4 to 5 times a week.
Old habit to clear memory, anyway, gives me time to do a good cleaning of my screen.
Here is the code to check your revision and to see from which day you are running your S3 *#12580*369#
Further more, AndreiLux found i string in the ELLA kernels released by Samsung that looks like that it solves the sudden death issue.
So, if indeed if fixes this issue, then off course the latest kernels releases from Sammy has also the fix and not just the custom kernels.
As far as i know, all the custom kernels has the fixes integrated this string by now, but i myself like the stock kernels, Indie puts in the Omega Roms.
Phil3759 has also made a repack of recovery based on CWM touch 6.0.2.7 to get it all safe.
More to come in the future, because i am learning everyday here on XDA and like to share and help others.
Edit, here is quote from AndreiLux about the new bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37163086&postcount=1298
Do I need any particular Bootloader? No - There is no evidence to suggest this fixes anything
Apparently that's wrong, download mode on the device uses a microkernel from inside the bootloader instead of the full blown Linux kernel. When flashing something via Odin in download mode you'd be using the bootloader's MMC driver and thus be at risk.
All-day users are still safe via recovery and live kernel, but are not advised to flash things in download mode with an older bootloader. This also explains why they updated the bootloader in LLA. The security checks are a mere update to bring it up with what the 9305 and Note 2 users already have in terms of not able to get rid of the exclamation mark.
Personal note:
Maybe i am seeing this wrong, to much thinking in terms of home computers, but here is some thoughts regarding above.
From cold, turned off device,.
Turning the device on, micro kernel inside the bootloader kicks in to send information how to start the device correctly.
If it works this way and you are on the old bootloader, then every time you start the device with the old bootloader, you are at risk?

Here i will post stuff that comes along the road like question about batterystats at recovery.
We used to have a option to wipe the battery stats at recovery, also there are some tools at Play store that claims to give a better battery life by just wiping those stats.
But after reading this excellent article, it comes clear that wiping those stats are bull.
So i am glad that option isn't available anymore and perhaps in time, the questions about those stats will faint away in oblivion
And another one i like to share.
Fast Dormancy.
Here is a great article about it, made by Erica.
For me, my provider is saying it's not supporting FD, but when use the method to check, it is supported.
So i tested it for a few days on and off and found that when it's off, i do get some better battery life, but it's just minor.
Instead of losing 5% battery at 8 hours standby, i lost 6%.
Also, i didn't see any benefits in speeds, so i turn it off every time after a flash of a new rom using gokhanmoral tool.
Another thing i like to add.
Wifi.
I have seen many posts about wifi problems.
Here what always works for me.
Sometimes just a reboot of the router will help.
Also, i find changing from dynamic (default) to static that my connection is faster connecting to my router (always use the never setting at wifi advanced to save battery).
Here is how to do it the easy way.
First set it up using it with the default dynamic settings, this way all will be filled in for you.
To change it to static.
Long press your connection and choose modify network config and check show advanced options.
Scroll down a bit and tap on IP settings and choose Static.
And that is all, now you have changed it to static and there is no more need for ip adress to negotiation any more.
https://www.google.nl/search?q=wifi...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
Also if still having problems, adding some more permissions can solve it.
I use root explorer for this
ETC > Long press wifi folder and choose permissions (remember to change Mount R/W to Mount R/O) and check all nine boxes.
Hit back and go to Data > Misc and again long press wifi folder and again, check all nine boxes.
Space
I know, i am a control freak and i hate it when i see space just vanish.
So did some search and found a thumbnail map with more then 1gb size.
Looked at some submaps and i only saw some old stuff.
So, selected all the submaps and just deleted it without problems and gain more then a gb free space.
Here is where you can find it using root explorer:
storage > sdcard0 > .thumbnails.
Edit:
As bigmo7 pointed out, the thumbnails will be rebuild, but off course not off stuff that isn't present on the S3 anymore.
So, if you are someone that is just making pictures or making / creating movies and never delete then from your S3, there is no point off deleting the thumbnails.
But if you like me, moving, creating copying and deleting this kind off stuff, then you can gain space.
Battery life
Always a hot item.
First all, the S3 is a mini computer and computers need juice, just remember this.
Here are some stuff i always do after flashing a new rom.
If the rom comes with a aroma installer which let you select stuff to install or not install, look careful to the list.
Stuff you don't use, can just eat resources and i myself, just find it a waste.
Next, after flashing and setting up the new rom, you will be presented with the option to use wifi.
I always go to advanced when making a wifi connection to choose Never when phone is in standby.
For me, but this can be different for you, wifi is a bit off a drainer so do some testing, let it run overnight with Always selected and another night with Never and see the difference.
Next you will be present if you want to restore and let google backup your phone.
I always deselect backup my phone, first reason, i am a control freak and i decide when and what i want to backup.
And second it can give you wakelocks and this will cost you battery life.
Next step i do is going into settings and to sounds, i don't like the clicking sounds and i deselect all the system sounds.
Next, location services and deselect GPS and Location and Google search.
I want GPS active only when i need it, some apps like Facebook will activate GPS when running and i don't like this.
And i don't want Google to know where i am all the time.
Some weather apps needs Location and Google search to determine your location, but i use Weather pro and it don't need it.
Next step is going into accounts and look what you have selected for syncing.
I always deselect Google photos, Internet and Picasa web albums.
Stuff i don't need .
Location settings at accounts is also off.
Next step is using the Fast Dormancy toggle to disable Fast Dormancy, although my provider is supporting it, enabled costs me a little more juice. Although it's minor, but a lot off minors things makes it bigger .
Then starting Playstore and at settings, deselect Notifications.
And finally freeze stuff i don't use with Titanium Backup pro.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31576747&postcount=105
All this, is giving me a great battery life, with screen on time between 4 1/2 to 6 1/2 hours, depends what i am doing.
And with the latest JB roms, 1 to 2% battery los in 7 hours standby.
No need for me to toggle Airplane mode, mobiledata or some other powersaving setting or app.
I am also always running the stock insecure kernel that comes with the rom, for me no need for a custom one.

Hello, when we flash a rom that already has mods ... do you know a way to save them ? (where to find them)
I mean. For example, my rom has a mod (and theme) on the toggles (pandoriam i9305). How can I save that mod ? Do you know a good tutorial to learn (safe) modding ?

I never save mods because most of the time when flashing a new rom, it's based on a new build and not every time mods are compatible, just like some themes by the way.
I just safe the mod files and thems, when i am sure they are compatible, i just flash them again.
Indie's Omega roms has already a lot of mods in it by default by the way, but i don't think he was for a 9305.
Good work Kees! Now I'm learning from you.

big big thanks my friend for pointing out all this so nicely
Very nice posts KeesStolk. Maybe you should write a manual for us?
I'm about to post this in Q&A (searching for an answer brought me here )
I just (3 days ago) upgraded my Omega ROM to v40. All seemed fine - I did as normal but in v35, my last Omega there wasn't a Full Wipe option. I chose not to wipe and everything went as per usual with Omega. I reinstalled my extras (6 x 5 icons, Loud phone hack, Increasing ring phone, Note2 Keybd) and was back to normal.
Except, now my apps will not update.
I found out the hard way. I had a problem with Play Store - open it and it would flash briefly then close. Tried all I knew of but nothing worked so, logic said, Omega v40 is different enough I need a wipe and that why they put it in there as a choice this time. (I checked the Omega thread and couldn't see anything relevant but I was in the pub at the time and may not have been as thorough as I should have been)
I had a TB backup and Nandroid on my ExtSD from 2 days back and an EFS so I ran the install again and chose Full Wipe - again everything went well... until I tried to download TB so I could restore all my apps and data. Play Store opened and stayed Open (yaaaay!) and TB acts like it is downloading but nothing comes through - it just sits until it times out on an error.
I tried several apps and none would DL but then AuWeather DL'd just fine. I went back to TB - no go.
After much frustration I Restored my Nandroid and got back to where I was (Omega v35) but still I can't DL and update for TB. At least Play Store stays open though. I tried running the v40 update again, installing the Default, just in case, (& I have just finished DL'ing v41) but the DL/Update problem persists.
I'm now on:
AP – I9300XXEMA2
CP – I9300BUELK1
CSC – I9300LBEMA1
RF cal – 2012.6.28
HW Rev – MP 1.100
Any ideas? If I can't DL TB once I have flashed, I can't get my data back so a wipe isn't really an option until I fix the DL issues.
As I said, this will also be in Q&A but you seem to have a good grasp on the basics so I thought maybe...? :fingers-crossed:
So... I tried restoring back to v35 and got the same problem. And yet that version has been running since v35 came out, at least a couple of months. So I did it again but this time used the Android Revolution Wipe zip, then a straight install of v35. I could then load TB from Play Store and restore my apps and data. Phone seems back to normal now although I have lost some logs data from the couple of days between my backup and now - no biggie... I also now can update my apps.
So it seems it is something to do with Omega v40.
I've just DL'd v41 so will give that a try. Any help with what might have gone wrong would be much appreciated.
Thank you for your kind words, just sharing what i know and hoping this info can help others.
And how is it with v41?
Did you tried it with wifi and 3g, any difference?
Also tried removing your google account, reboot and setting it up again?
Hi kees !
Nice idea you've got with this thread but ... I hope it won't turn into another omega q&a thread . I would like to direct people here but it will be quite difficult if they will see Omega issues all over. Please point them out to the correct thread as you already posted the link to it. Just a thought , correct me if I'm wrong

absolutely !!!
everyone`s choice ! but people must follow proper threads , i`ve got nothing against a certain rom but against disarray when users post or open endless threads about same thing .
some users hates me for this , i know it well , in my thread i always pointed out but somehow is unfair to maintain same topic on more threads .
that`s a bad habit for new users and not only for the rule`s sake but this is the way should be in a human community .

i was thinking as well to open a thread as yours but due to lack of time i didn`t. as soon as i`ll find interesting things i`ll let you know .
i myself am a NOOB !

Hi there all
I have flashed this ROM 2 days ago and found it very good and fast.
Today i have played with the security (lock screen & apps permissions), i have chooses the face recognition for the screen-lock and a default security for all new apps.
Now all is so slow and cannot get into the security settings, it is crushing !
Please help.
I do not want to factory reset, i have already restored all my contact and apps, do not have the time to do this again.
Thank you all
My huge thanks to the developers of this amazing ROM. I really appreciate your work. With Apolo Kernel works perfect! Thank you.

You need to change the display density setting. Open the file /system/build.prop with a text editor and search for the line ro.sf.lcd_density=182. Change the value to something else. Bigger numbers give you bigger icons and fonts. The Default for SGS2 Roms is normally 240, Neatrom uses 182, that's why everything is smaller than on most roms. If you want to use 240, you can also flash this ZIP in Recovery: View attachment Density_240_v8.0st.zip. It's just a modified build.prop for 8.0st. There are also apps on the PlayStore that can change the density for you, but I never tried them.

Without more info it's impossibe to know what is draining your battery. You need to find out the app that gives you trouble with BBS or similar app.

In Android KitKat, user apps are not allowed to access battery stats. It's part of Androids security policy. There's two ways to fix it:
Get Xposed Installer and install the Xposed Framework. Then, download the module Enable BatteryStats Permission - voila! Since Xposed is simply awesome for other tasks as well, I recommend this method.
If for some reason you don't want to use Xposed (e.g. if you use ART), then you have to convert BBS to a system app. There's several ways to do so, like Titanium Backup or Link2SD... However make sure that BBS gets installed in /system/priv-app/, and not in /system/app/, or else it will still not get the necessary rights.
Hi is there a way to reboot into recovery except from the home + volume + wake and also which Version of Apolo is the right one 7.1 CM?
Battery life?
Hi guys, was checking this rom out and it looks awesome!
How's the battery life though?
I'm currently on Resurrection Remix and the battery life when I have wifi on is really poor.
I'm basically looking for a 4.4.4 rom that gives maximum battery life.
Also are there any kernel recommendations?
Thanks!
Weird battery behaviour
Hello Guys. I met a very strange issue.
After flashed the ROM, the battery indicator acts very weird.
When the phone is fully charged, and I remove the charger. after reached 85%, and when the battery is gong down, the indicator is going up from 85% to 90 %.
Anybody met this ? and how to resolve ?
I already calibrated the battery, but the problem still on.

I'm running this with Apolo V0 kernel and I'm satisfied (on original Samsung 2000 mAh battery):
~33% a day of normal usage
~1% an hour idle (data on, sync on, location on)
~0.3% an hour night mode (data off, sync off, phone online) - translates to ~14 days of runtime
Have tweaked wakelocks/services.

I had the same problem of battery drain because of mediascanner service running all the time and i didnt know the exact fix but i have read somewhere that formatting sd card would help fix this and it did, Anyway i didnt use much of my extSD so i removed it for now!! And no battery drain observed with mediascanner service
I can't get this to run on my phone. After carefully following the instructions my phone is stuck on the first boot screen with the yellow exclamation mark. Strangely it seems like I have TWRP installed which I can't get rid of. Even after installing the CWM linked to, the next time I manually enter recovery TWRP opens.
Update: Sucessfully installed a Cyanogen based ROM instead. Shame, I would have liked to try this one.
GAPPS not working?
Hi there, please help me. I can't get gapps to work/install. I first flashed beta version...nothing, then tried the stable version and only Chrome appeared in appdrawer. I still can't access play store (from the Nova Launcher menu option), the browser that came with the NeatRom doesn't start.
The rooting, flashing of the rROM etc all went well, according to the instructions, the only thing was that I couldn't format /preload as there was no such option in the CWM recovery. Could that be the problem maybe?
Please tell me, what am I missing here...

No, Preload is not used in AOPS Roms, only at Sammy ROMs.
maybe your download of GAPPS or ROM is corrupted, check the MD5 file to see if there is any thing wroing.
Clear Cache from Recovery
Try to reboot
Try to re-install.
Somtimes something goes wrong and then you have effects as you mentioned.

Sorry, but I gave up over AOSP and flashed the "stock" NeatRom 6.4 w/o any problems. Runs great!
Still, when I was searching for a solution, I found out, that it is possible that I didn't make a nandroid backup of /preload (when I was still on rooted stock samsung ROM - before flashing kitkat cwm and later AOSP NeatRom). I read that in the CWM recovery that comes with Siyah kernel - which I used to make a nandroid backup - you have to manually select to make a backup of the /preload part. in addition to all others... And i really didn't find a file with "preload" in the nandroid backup folder that I copied to my PC. If so, I am suppose to have trouble when/if going back to stock samsung ROM? If that is the case, maybe it would be good to update the guide for flashing the KitKat-based AOSP NeatRom. I don't really care right now, because I really like the stock NeatRom...I just hope it'll work...
NeatRom 8.0st and TWRP - no restore possible
Hi all,
hope, one of you will be able to support me ?
I'm not able to restore any of my TWRP backups done with TWRP 2.7.1.0 which came with the ROM.
All backups went well and were flagged as 'successfully'.
However, trying to restore one of them failes every time. It looks like after restoring SYSTEM and starting with DATA, it stucks.
One 'failed', no error code or any additional information.
I've a 32 GB SD installed on my i9100 and this is where I store all the TWRP backups.
Copying them to internal storage does not help.
Any ideas ?
Thx in advance,
BR,
This is a good room
