Hey thunderbolt community!
Just got myself a thunderbolt and rooted it (s-off, busy box, super user). I flashed syenergy rom and after reboot it was terribly slow. Now I might of messed up so here I the process I took.
- Rooted (as stated above)
- Downloaded ROM
- Downloaded Kernel
- Booted into clockwork
- Wiped cache
- Wiped dalvik
- Flashed ROM
- Flashed Kernel
- Rebooted
Rom booted but was so slow and not usable. Was I supposed to do a full wipe because it was still stock rom? I am coming from a rooted CM7 incredible so I am quite experienced. Please help!
First off this is the wrong section
Second yea u need to always wipe everything when switching to a new ROM. I use Synergy and the first boot will always be laggy. Synergy let's your Google account download all the apps that u previously had which really slows the phone down. What I'd do is wipe EVERYTHING. Then flash the ROM again. During setup, only setup your Google account and leave for Facebook or whatever other accounts u set up for later as it may speed up things for the first boot. And then I'd just put the phone down n let it do what it needs to do. Synergy is a fast and smooth ROM. The first boot is always laggy on any ROM that allows Google to auto download previous apps. Hope this helps

Follow these procedures:
- Normally you'd perform a nandroid first after flashing into clockwork recovery, but I don't know that you'd want to do that since the ROM is running poorly; your call (I would anyway)
- Wipe Data I always do this, no matter what. That might sound extreme, but I've never had one issue with any of the three android phones I've owned.
- Wipe Cache
- Wipe Dalvik
- Flash Rom
- Flash Radio (if necessary)
- Reboot
Play with the ROM for a while before you flash a different kernel. You might find one of two things: 1) The kernel that came with the ROM is plenty fast and does everything you need, which leads to 2) The kernel you flashed originally could be the cause of the slowness.
Ir's possible the ROM is the issue, so following the above procedure will rule everything else out. Let us know how it goes.

i was updating my phone yesterday. added the new cwm 3 and a new rom. I was fine to go back to stock so i used the comm rom then when it rebooted I installed amazon appstore, di some customizations. Then I turned of my phone and went to bed. I woke up and my phone was crashing left and right. Launcher 7 fc, amazon fc pretty much useless. I thought it was a bad rom, so I used the evil fascination rom ([ROM][ED01][5/25/11] Evil Fascination v3.6.0 - xda-developers) and did used that. I installed everything back then i restarted same thing. Any advice would be very much appreciated since i am going out of town tomarrow.

Wipe cache/dalvik and try to flash it again. If that doeant work, odin stock and work your way up. There are plenty of how to guide stickied in general.

Just out of curiousity. What is cache/delvik cache
It is my understanding that it is kind of a full system cache if you boot into recovery it is like the third option to wipe it also did you do a full data wipe when installing the new rom's?
Sent using my Evo 4g with Cyanogen 7 nighty 87
Dalvik cache is a program cache area for the program dalvik. Dalvik is a java based virtual machine that is the bases for running your programs (the ones that have the .apk extension). In order to make access times faster (because there's not JIT (just in time) compiler installed by default), the dalvik-cache is the result of dalvik doing a optimization of the running program. Sounds confusing. It's similar to the prefetch files in Windows.
To delete this you need to have red clockwork and the 'wipe dalivk cache option' is under 'advanced'.
Hope this helped and don't forget to press the thanks button!
Thanks guys for the info. Will updTe u in a minute
Ok. So I wiped cache, then i wiped data, then I installed ef 3.6.0. Still failed. Any other suggestions beside's odin stock, cuz that seems so boring
Try a PBJ Kernel (evil comes with his voodoo 50)
so try 100 of SV voodoo
So I currently have Das BAMF 3.0 flashed onto my HTC Thunderbolt. It's working perfectly fine; but say I wasnt to flash another ROM, do I have to wipe my data and cache again via clockwork recovery? (yes I backed my phone up and backed up with titanium back up)
Yes or you will run into issues like me

When switching between ROMs from different devs one should always wipe data/cache. Different devs sometimes use different packages for some of the base system apps and the data usually won't "mesh". If you don't wipe, you may not notice a problem initially...but a few day's later you'll be asking "Why does XXXX force close on me?"
Only time you shouldn't have to worry about wiping is if you're flashing nightlies or incremental versions of a rom where not much has changed unless the dev states otherwise in the release post.
Hi
Sorry to post in here but im so new i cant use development forum yet.
I have noticed when charging my GT with this rom my battery status is not showing in the middle of the screen when the GT is powered off.
Anyone else seen this ??
also what are your setcpu settings on this rom (mine are 216 - 1400 interactive)
Cheers

Mine works perfectly fine. Your setcpu settings should not matter in relation to your issue I don't think.
Im guessing will need to reflash the rom then to see if i get the battery icon when charging (gt powered off)
mine will display if for a bit, but shut off after a little while. It charges fine. This rom is awesome!
Hi
Ok, do you know the order for a clean install or a Rom that deletes all user folders and files as i seem to keep all my files when i do a wipe and reset ?
And list of things to do would be great
Paul
in Cwm, do:
- backup
- wipe data/factory reset (will wipe cache too)
- wipe dalvik cache
- flash new rom zip
- flash alternative kernel (if applicable)
- flash alternative themes, modded apps, etc (if applicable)
- reboot, set the tab down and go do something for 5 -10 min for it to do its first boot (mine is usually 7 min)

in order to start completely fresh is easy. you can be on any rom and to this. no need to go back to stock. just flash stock retail recovery here... (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22014441/stockretail.tar.md5) with Odin (put it in the PDA slot). Then go into recovery (it will be the old blue one now) and wipe data/factory reset. Clockworkmod Recovery wont delete everything like stock retail will. Then you can flash back to Clockworkmod Recovery and reflash the rom you want.

this method won't do what he is asking bro. cwm doesn't delete everything as he is suggesting he wants to do. stock retail recovery is needed in order to start fresh.
In other news.....This actually the correct forum to post this in.
The development section is strictly for releases.
To stay on topic, the battery symbol does show up when charging while off on my tab and my setcpu settings are 216-1000MHz ondemand. The tab is BLAZINGLY fast now and there's a noticeable difference between V5 and V4.
Off topic, I just wanted to say that I've never posted or replied to anything here before. I've been a quiet studious learner of alot of stuff on here and started playing around with my OG Droid, then Droid X2, and HTC Thunderbolt, and now my Galaxy Tab 10.1. I've never posted or replied to anything because I've never been blown away by any developer's work (no insult, just nothing that REALLY made me go, “Thank God for this developer and their ROM.”
But when I installed In Paris V5…I literally thanked God for Task and Phantom. Task’s ROMs have been my faves and have definitely made my GTab experience move from fair (stock from store) to OK (Task’s last solo ROM) to GOOD (In Paris V4). But In Paris V5 has just made my GTab experience EXCELLENT. It’s ridiculously fast with no over-clocking needed! And not to steal from Apple (we all know I might get sued) but the thing just works now! If I weren’t so broke, I’d flood Task and Phantom with donations.
But sincerely…thank you Task and Phantom for producing, hands down, THE BEST ROM for the Galaxy Tab 10.1. You guys are phenomenal and if Google, or Samsung, were smart…you’d be on their payrolls. Please keep up the excellent work…I’m excited to see just what more you can do.
Sorry for this dumb question, but how to begin all of this, looks like the instruction is install CWM using Odin, any noob instruction for that?
I had rooted my Galaxy Tab 7 before using Odin, but I didn't went thru CWM. Any help on this appreciated. I prefer to use this Paris5 ROM. Thanks.
Hi i am very new to the concept of rooting and flashing ROMs.
My phone is a SGH-I777 unlocked running stock 2.3.4
I have tried rooting my phone using CWM 5.0.2.3 for i777 and then user superuser 2.3.3 to root which went fine.
Now i wanted to install a custom ROM so i went ahead and downloaded the CM 9 stable for my i777 and the gapps signed package saved them both to the internal memory went into recovery mode and followed instructions as per CM wiki to wipe cache wipe factory reset and then installed the CM 9 Stable and then the gapps package. When the phone rebooted CM9 was installed but unfortunaltely no gapps and i was not gettinng any network on my phone.I tried reflashing but no good hence went back to stock and everything seemed to be working fine.
All i want to know is did i follow the right procedure or is there something else which had to be done or needs to be done while flashing any new ROM. Also if anyone can suggest a good stable ROM for the i777 i personally i like CM 9,CM 10,AOKP SHOSTOCK & MYSTIC GLORY.
If anyone can be kind enough to help me on how to install the above mentioned ROMs if its a first time for someone.
Thanks
You can try rebooting again after initial boot. Sometimes that will clear up data/network issues. Also you can go into settings-->more--->mobile networks and check your APN settings. When there you can hit menu button, then restore default apn, and reboot.
Also you mentioned your phone is unlocked. Are you using it on another carrier other than ATT? If so, make sure your APN are correct for your carrier.
Your basic procedure is fine, theoretically, it should work.
Why gapp didn't work? I don't know, I haven't run CM ROMs.
Try reflash gapp? Try reboot?
Did u download the correct gapps? I've had it happen that my big old fingers hit the wrong gapps package for the base I was running (cm9 (ics), cm10 (jelly bean) or gingerbread. Everything u did sounds right in theory, make sure not to use rom manager.

I've had it happen that I needed to reboot into recovery and flash just the gapps again. Try that. Don't try to reinstall cm and gapps. Just do the gapps again.

It has been a long time but I do remember when CM9 first came out for our phone I would flash the cm zip and let it try to boot. Then after a few minutes I would hold down the volume +/- and power until I was back in recovery and flash cm a second time BUT this time then flash gapps BEFORE rebooting. On occasion I have still done that out of old habits when I am switching between different ROMs. Good luck

Hello, I've been lurking on XDA for some time now since I first rooted my OG Dinc and I just recently got the Dinc 4g LTE running on the 2.17.605 version with sense 4.1. I have also rooted it and installed TWRP recovery after following the fakecid guide. On the stock rooted Rom, I have no usability issues, but when I tried to use the Viper 2.0.0 Rom, I was unable to dial out, the people app wasn't syncing with my google account and was generally quite glitchy. I would like to use this Rom to take advantage of the features, but I can't use it as a daily driver with these conditions.
What have I missed and what should I do to fix this?
Thanks for hearing me out,

Boot into twrp and fix permissions. That will fix the sync issue. Generally glitchy it's a little broad, off you post specific issues we can probably help.

I've had the Google account sync issue on two consecutive installs of v2. Both times I've booted to TWRP and wiped cache & dalvik. Fixed it both times. Other than that, this ROM has been rock solid for me. No dialing issues.
same here, wipe cache and dalvic and all is ok. did this on viper1 and viper2, worked both times
I did the fix perms and wipes pre flash to no effect. I still don't have the people app syncing. Did you guys do this post-flash? Also dialer still doesn't work.
Thanks guys! Doing what you recommended post-flash helped clear up the issues.
i just previously ran the vipers 2.0 rom because i didnt knotice the 2.1.1 patch for sence 4.1 andnow i still have no problems.....
did you flash it right
1. boot into recover> wipe> factory data reset
2. wipe> cache
3. wipe> dalvik cache
4. install zip> your rom ( viper 2.0.0)> and use there full wipe script and install
5 install zip > your rom ( viper 2.1.1)
6. reboot, problems should be fixed
