Hi guys I'm new here and I have some questions. Now, I know we're supposed to be rooted /stock before flashing a rom. What if I just loaded up the deodexed 2.3.4 and flashed the pulldown toggles? Does this still count as stock and I got ahead and flash a rom like this?
Also I enabled tethering via this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182940. I'm not sure how deep that setting is. Will I lose that if I flash a rom like liberty or eclipse?
Thanks in advance!
Mod, hack, and/or tweak to your heart's content while stock. Just be sure to wipe data/cache/dalvik before flashing another ROM. You don't need to be on stock before flashing any ROM as long as you wipe 1st. Even if u don't wipe and something fudges up you can always flash your NAND (backup) and you're fine. Oh, if u don't wipe, pls don't comment your issue b/c the first question will be, "did u wipe at all?". Have fun!
That tethering mod is permanent so i hope you kept the original files inn case you ever needed to send the phone in for a replacement..

great thanks!
I'm running UnNamed 1.3.0 right now with no themes applied but I have everything setup the way I like it. I'd like to do a full 1.3.1 flash and try the Blue Monkey theme.
Is the best way to do this
A) backup apps with Titanium, backup with CWM, full wipe, flash 1.3.1 full, then flash blue monkey, restore apps with Titanium
B) backup with CWM, flash 1.3.1 over 1.3, then flash blue monkey theme
C) other
I'm unclear on whether I need to do a wipe going from 1.3 to 1.3.1 if it's a full flash and not the 1.3to1.3.1 update.
Thanks in advance for any help.
dont need to wipe. just flash it.
You can wipe cache and dalvik to clean up, but you don't need to wipe.
Alright, I did a backup then installed 1.3.1 and rebooted. Everything works fine and the phone looks exactly how I left it except in the about phone area it says I'm running 1.3.1 now.
Rebooted and backed up again.
Installed from zip the Blue Monkey theme and rebooted. I'm running Go Launcher Ex so I went in and cleared it as the default. Pressed the home button and chose TwLauncher. Everything looks fine but I'm not seeing the theme applied. I still have the same background live wallpaper and icons. The lock screen is still WidgetLocker.
Thoughts?
EDIT:
Apparently installing the theme a second time did the trick. I now see the new icons.

Right on. That's good advice for everyone. Sometimes things need more than one flash.

I had the same thing happen with that theme on 1.3.1. I knew something was up when it flashed really fast. A second flash took longer and worked properly.

Can anyone give a quick reply as to why that happens with flashing? Is it a problem with CWM, the zip files, or the process?

Lol, I think alot of us wish we knew why. I don't think anyone has figured it out. It's not limited to our phone.

I think I have posted this twice today and the third time might...be the charm. You guys have to remember to check and mount your system and data in recovery before flashing ROM's or Themes. It should alleviate any re-flashing or multi-flash scenarios for you guys.
Additional: Also if some of you guys are having a bad or fast install you might want to re-download the Theme. I know in talking with Jivy26 (Blue Monkey Themer) the initial release of the update of 1.3 (For you quick and early adopters) had an issue and was pulled, repacked and posted again. Try a fresh copy.

Very true. But it's still only a 'should' not have to flash twice, not a certainty that it won't need the flash again.
It doesn't explain the times we do that and it still needs a reflash (usually cm7).

I used to see the same thing with flashing multiple times, thought it might have been a bad root install or something wrong with the ROM itself. Ever since implementing the mentioned procedure into my regimen of updates. I only flash once (Unless of course there is in fact something wrong with the package).
I was on Booster Shot, did a backup in recovery, complete wipe and modified wipe, flashed Cool ICS ROM, wanted to go back, so I restore my backup from recovery, and now 4G (Wimax) is busted. It gets stuck at "obtaining IP address from Sprint" and goes no further. Any idea of how I can fix this?
Did you do a wipe before restoring your backup? Restoring a backup on top of a different Rom could cause issues like this. Try going into recovery and flash a super wipe like Chad's and then restore your backup.

I had that happen to me as well. I fixed it by entering ##3282# in the dialer, then going to edit mode (you'll need your msl). Then go in to WiMAX and reset the realm to sprintpcs.com. (even if it already says that, just re enter it). Then in the top right corner it sys save I think, or commit or something. Just make sure to save and commit. Then it should reboot. For me, 4g worked after that on more than one occasion. It's been happening after changing Roms.

Didn't try this, however, will do next time I want to do a full restore. However, I think the issue lies in what I mention below.

I finally fixed the issue after a clean wipe and fresh install of everything. However, according to what someone else suggested to me in another forum I posted this question as well to see if peeps there had an idea of what the issue was, it was mentioned issues in restoring data from an ODEX ROM to a DEODEX ROM, and vice versa I suppose, and this is what I did. Booster Shot is ODEX. Cool ICS is DEODEX. I'm sure that is where the problem fell.
Thank you both for your assistance. All is well now!

Odex to Deodex (and vice versa) data restores cause problems even using the same Rom if the dev changes from one to the other.

Hi to all.. I have been mentioning this in several ROM's threads, but none answerd.
I'm writing this to find if anybody else experiencing the same issue...
Since I have been flashing ICS ROMs, my front facing camera stopped working..
Before that on GB, even with Amaze camera it worked perfectly, now it just freezes the camera app, and nothing happens...
I'm missing it because of video calls.
Can anybody suggest any solution?
gosh do u know why we have "Q&A section" as a subforum?
Sorry, if anybody can move it, do it...
But it's just ROM development related issue, so placing it here is not such a nonsense...
I've read somewhere, that it can be kernel - based issue, but one of my friends who has also EVO has no problems with that...

no, this is your issue, it has nothing to do with rom development. You probably just forgot to wipe cache and ended up using parts of an old kernel.
You can either start a thread in Q&A section, or ask the question in the thread of the ROM you are using

That's not possible, cache wiping won't remove kernel modules...
Did you try to run fix permissions? full wipe? do that, then it might work.
I did full wipe almost everytime before flash...
Now I did fix permissions and no change..
Any other ideas? What about full format?
Maybe It's a physical problem did you flash a gb Rom and see if it works then ?

+1 to this. As a test, I suggest you do a full super wipe and then flash a GB Rom like Mean Rom 4.2. If it works then, then rewipe and flash a sense based ics Rom and test again. You will then have your answer as to if it is ics or not.
Sent from my PG86100
What about the baseband? Should I revert the older firmware too???
Ive allready done that, reverted back to the MikRunny, it did not function...
But there was the Anthrax kernel, so might will try the Mean Rom...
I have flashed many ics roms fully wiping each time and have no issues with ffc

Always:
List your HBOOT version and "S" status. If you did, ok. But, I didn't catch it.
Also, list what steps you have taken.
VERY first thing:
1) Wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset, and flash modified superwipe (I've done this and in doing so have had no flashing issues. All my issues were because of something I missed or messed up).
2) Have you tried going back to a GB ROM? If so, how? Did you do a restore or a clean wipe and flash?
3) If you did a restore, did you do a complete wipe as stated in #1?
4) After flashing an ICS ROM, were you trying to restore any data from a previous ROM, whether GB or ICS?
5) If trying to restore data from a GB ROM, it will bork your ICS like it did for me, regardless of the ICS ROM.
6) If trying to restore data from an ODEX ROM to a DEODEX ROM, or vice versa, it will bork stuff.
Just let us know what was done and that will eliminate a lot of repeated suggestions.
EDIT: I'm running Booster Shot ICS with no issues or force closes. I've easily flashed my phone to different things over 50 times. Completely wiping everything like I stated in #1 has always worked for me and prevented issues in coming from a different ROM. Sometimes if you skip a wipe, it will leave remnants of the previous ROM (from what I was told and it has seemed to prove true in my cases).
wipe
sounds like a wipe issue. I've used several ICS roms with no issues.. Try SuperWipe by mikey and see if that helps. Also, not all recoveries will propperly install all ROMs, I'm using 4ext right now and seems to work well
Gotta Learn the proper wiping techniques.... Only fold it twice...

I just did the newest OTA for MeanBean 2.8. I was having issues with crashing. I also tried a fresh install of MeanBean 2.8 after a full wipe and it seems to have gotten worse for me. I know it isn't the ROM itself because MeanBean is just pure awesome. On the fresh install, I was getting as far as entering my account information for Dropbox during the first time setup and during typing the white text boxes would turn black and the screen would start to sort of dim/flick. I re-installed the previous version of MeanBean 2.71 and all of my problems have vanished.
I would have posted this in the MeanBean ROM thread but I'm not allowed to yet.

No issues here. Flashed it about 45 minutes ago and all is good. You might try going into recovery and flashing the sticky settings .zip file in the MeanBean folder. This will bring up the Aroma installer where you can make changes to the ROM. You might want to choose the option to overvolt. Some phones just like to play differently when it comes to overclocking and voltages. You might also try a clean install instead of a dirty one.

yea its running perfect for me also
You probably got a bad download. Just redownload the Rom
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Try fix permissions, you may need to wipe and start fresh if apps keep crashing
Like mentioned above, you could turn on the option to overvolt, or you may just want to turn off overclocking entirely. I haven't had problems with it but some people's phones seem to not do well with overclocking.
I'd try redownloading the Rom, then in recovery wipe everything so fully clean install. Then flash Rom, and before you boot into Rom for the first time flash the sticky settings and just put all to pretty much stock then boot. If all works you can always go back and flash sticky settings again.
