Hello, sorry for the lame question. I know, simple answer is "just re-flash it", but I would really appreciate another way advised to save the config and time.
I have lot of troubles after installing the subj. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929941).
It's LG P500 running at 2.2 Froyo (stock, rooted, custom recovery):
- after applying the first version, battery management gone, access recovered by re-applying; but since then, scrolling became not so smooth as it was before; not a big problem, so I was waiting for next version;
- now, there is 1.1 version: applied that, but all the sounds individually matched to some contacts are gone, I can choose only standard sounds from /system/media, but not from /sdcard/media; tried to re-apply, get back to first version - no changes; get back to 1.1 - and now cannot choose those sounds in any system menu - for all the contacts, alerts etc etc.; but way more important, the I/O performance severely degraded, appearing as up to 10 second to open an app., which was never observed before; "SD tools" measuring shows degrading both R and W (~5 Mb/sec less now).
Is there standard stock 2.2 kernel available separetely, maybe switching back could solve these problems?
Thanks for any thought.
It's not a patch. It's a whole different zImage (kernel?). You may want to restore your backup. If you don't have one, I uploaded the stock 2.2 kernel. It's in the 2nd page of this subforum. Look for "unflash kernel".
I suggest u flash dev cavermans v3 kernel, I loved the response of it ever since I flashed it.
OK, thanks a lot for replies and links!
Yesterday, I re-installed a kernel, tried different versions... Unfortunately, something dramatically wrong with my phone.
With ringtones, it seems I ran into that problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=998520
- android does not aware of /whatever/media folder anymore.
With performance, it became a bit better after moving most of apps to SD card, but still unacceptable.
Probably, I have to re-flash the whole stuff
Hi All!
I have a clean unrooted AT&T 1.8.3 Atrix 4G and want to ask a few questions before i am flashing, would be very grateful for the answers!
1) From non-visual standpoint, especially considering system performance and battery life, which one is better - Stock, GladiAtrix or GingerBlur? Is there any difference in battery life between those ROMs?
2) I see good features lists on GladiAtrix & GreyBlur's pages, this is from GladiAtrix:
Deodexed
Custom boot logo
AppWidgetPicker (better widget management)
Enables sideloading
Ad blocking
Installs AT&T tethering APN
Enables desktop flash content, i.e. Hulu (You MUST install flashplayer 10.2 from market prior to installing the ROM. You must also use a browser that lets you set your user agent to Desktop.)
Clears Dalvik-cache
Removes the AT&T bloat
Disables background media scanning (speeds phone up a LOT)
Webtop without need for dock (through micro-hdmi cable)
Preferred install location for apps
Disables SD card mount sound
Enables ADB to run as root (still need further testing on this, not sure exactly how this is supposed to function)
Enables Google location services (does not send private information or drain your battery, it just allows apps to use cell location as opposed to GPS if a location is needed)
Lowers delay when placing a call (1 second as opposed to 2.5 which was just obnoxiously long)
Increases wifi scan interval
Decreases screen activation delay from proximity sensor
Increase RAM available to dalvik VM
Adds lxterminal shortcut to webtop, allows webtop customization

But not on GingerBlur's page, does it means all this hacks is not included in GingerBlur? Or it's all there, but not listed on the first page (there is 500+ pages in the GingerBlur's thread, so reading it to the end it's a bit tedious task)
3) If i root, install CWM and backup my Stock 1.8.3 before flashing custom ROM, later i can restore from CWM without flashing SBF to get the next OTA update when available (hopefully 2.3 soon), that's correct?
4) How do i upgrade to the next version of GladiAtrix or GingerBlur when available? There is some simpler procedure to install new version over the older one (for example GingerBlur 3.5 over GingerBlur 3.1), or i should restore my stock ROM from CWM (or flash SBF) and then install the new version?
I have tried them all, and am at the moment finding GladiAtrix 3 to be the best for me, although battery life is a wee bit less than GingerBlur was. I am on 4.1.83 with GladiAtrix, using Cool Blue 2.1 for a theme, ADW EX Launcher with custom font pack.
<edit> The developers like Kenneth Penn (GingerBlur, GreyBlur) usually release flashable update files aswell as the full flashable ROM when they roll the revisions on them, so you just flash the smaller update file, and keep all your settings.
<edit 2> Full GingerBlur details are found here GingerBlur website. This is linked on the first page of the GingerBlur thread.
Thanks CaelanT! Any more opinions on battery life? How GingerBlur & GladiAtrix compares to Stock 1.8.3, it's better or worse?

In my humble opinion, both are better than stock on battery life, but GingerBlur is definitely the best of the three. (Stock, GingerBlur, and GladiAtrix).

This is spot on... there are countless post on here from people flashing themes and mods only to find out they don't like it and bug the dev/modders on how to uninstall what they just did to go back to stock.
#1 rule with any modding/theme changes, ALWAYS do a backup of your current/stock setup before applying a theme or mod...
I am new to the forum and the G Tab but have been browsing. I just got the G Tab today and wanted to pursue the Roebeets+Clemsyn's Honeycomb COMBO alpha path!
I have a few questions...
Assuming I have the 1.2 BL (4349) out of the box do I still need to re-partition the G-Tab with 2048/0MB and wipe before proceeding?
Can I skip the following steps?
1. Nvflash to 3588 STOCK DO NOT USE CWM FOR 3588
2. Do not install CWM (we need the stock recovery)
3. DO NOT INSTALL CWM (we need the stock recovery)
4. PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL CWM
5. Reboot
And start from here assuming the partition sizes are correct?
6. RENAME COMBO FILE NAME TO Update.zip
7. Move Update.zip to /sdcard folder
8. Unzip recover.zip and move recovery folder to /sdcard folder
8. Turn off
10. Press Power+Volume up then this will install Update.zip
I know I should NOT install CWM as it wont work until after I flash the ROM which I assume is included in the ROM image.
Is there anything else I need to do before proceeding? I will backup the original ROM of course.
Thanks in advance and what an excellent resource
Do you know what what alpha means? It means it's not recommended for new users. There are many things that still don't work.
That said, technically you can skip all of that. Do you even know why we recommend people to repartition to 2048/0? It's because of compatibility issues. If you don't repartition from the beginning, the system will eventually force closes everything.
I highly recommend you visit my sight. It's written for beginners.
http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/
Yes I do know what alpha means I deal with devs all of the time. I wanted to clarify the partition sizes because it wasn't mentioned in the dev thread as most users there were already coming from previous mods. I will check out your site though and I appreciate the advice. I may be a noob to the G-Tab and Andriod but am an IT admin by trade.
Thanks!
Ok. Still, chances are you will eventually have force closing issue. And I do mean it's bad. That's why the recommendation nowadays is for people to repartition right away before they start putting their own crap into the sdcard. Partitioning erases everything in the sdcard. So, better do it now than later when you already have all your crap in there.
Agreed! I went through your sight and it was very helpful. Thanks. I didn't realize that VS kept the same partition scheme I thought maybe with 1.2 they would have made some changes for the better. But it doesn't matter I will wipe and reformat anyway. I got the G-Tab yesterday and fired it up. WOW is it slow for a dual core. My Droid X runs circles around it...
Thanks again!
Oh by the way... I configured WiFi and I dont broadcast my SSID. I setup the G-Tab for my network and but it stated "Network out of range". So I enabled the SSID and then it connected. Everything worked just fine until I turned off the SSID broadcast again. Now the G-Tab cannot states it's out of range again. Is there anyway to force it? My other Android device and iPad dont have this issue. I hate broadcasting my SSID.
Thanks!
Hey GI,
Can you verify this step from your site? In Part D after the backup you don't want to go to Install ZIP? I skipped that because it is repeated after the wipes and that made more sense...
Thanks!
Part D (flashing a 1.2 ROM)
After backup is done, ----->>>>>>go back out and select "install zip from sdcard". <<<<<<<---------
Choose "wipe data/factory reset".
Choose "wipe cache partition".
Once it's done, go back out to root menu and choose "advanced".
Choose "Wipe Dalvik Cache".
Go back out and choose "install zip from sdcard".
Go into folder "Rom" and choose the Rom that you picked from the list. Watch it install.
After ROM installation is complete, repeat steps 6 and 7 for the GAPPS file IF YOU NEED TO.
Once everything is done, go back out to root menu and choose "reboot system now".
Well, we have a rooted and ROM'd G-Tab and man it is way more snappy. Thanks again to GI for his excellent web site. The new ROM also fixed my WiFi issue

Which Rom did you end up going with? My GTAB will be here Monday. I want to get rid of the stock sluggishness but I'd also like my first ROM to have full functionality , etc so I can check out the camera, videos and all that on my new device. Maybe after some playtime I'll jump to an HC beta that still has issues.
I've done plenty of modding and ROM swapping for the last year on my Cappy, Atrix, and Aria so I'm no noob. I would just like to jump right into the most feature rich, yet stable ROM on day one so I can really check out my new device.
Thanks!

Pretty much all froyo roms listed on my site have full functionality (HW accel, video, sound, wifi, camera, etc.). And all of them can be overclocked.
With gingerbread roms, you really need to overclock to get the same video smoothness that you see in froyo because of the lack of HW accel. This is not the developer's fault. And no, it's not my fault either. The mofos NVIDIA and VS decided to stop supporting their product a couple months after they were released.
I'd stay away from the honeycomb roms if I were you. All of them are in their alpha stages right now. Even though most functions work, there are still instability issues. They're only recommended for testers right now.

I tried three or four ROMs so far. Among them, my favorite is:
Calkulin + Clemsyn Combo Overclock at 1.5 ghz v5 (Froyo)
It is impressively fast, and the phone function works right of the box. It integrates nicely with either Google voice or Skype.
Calkulin's rom is by itself an already super fast rom. It's actually based off of the TnT. Incredible how he was able to make it work so well.
Hello to everyone;
To start with I suppose I must introduce myself:
My name is Manu from México and I am a proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy Ace since three months ago.
During this time I had played with it and its stock ROM with 2.3.4 from carrier Telcel, I rooted it and removed bloatware from the carrier, the result was really nice; even thou after some apps the internal space run out, and therefore the responsiveness of my phone also got cluttered.
About a week ago or so I decided to go beyond and flashed "CyanogenMod 7.1-cooper-KANG-RC1 Android 2.3.7" so I tested it for a while and even thou I found many improvements, many bugs were unbearable for the phone use I’m used to; so I switched back to a Stock Rom and flashed "S5830SERKPO" with 2.3.5. and my regional modem.
In addition I did this process to Deodex + root "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118048&highlight=DEODEX” the result in my personal opinion is very good, but I’m back to the beginning. IM RUNNING OUT OF SPACE FOR INTERNAL STORAGE AND THE PHONE STARTS TO ACT LAGGY
I have read about s2e, link2sd and darktremor a2sd; where is require to partition your SD (which I already have also done with CMW at no avail) and I have finally ended up with a program called Install Manager 3.5.1 which promises to do move apps to SD (as far as they are executed locally from an .apk file and not market)
So... after this entire intro, and to avoid any flaming against me: I have read many many posts and have ended up overwhelmed and more confused.
¿Can someone please help me into the best way (in terms of stability and performance) to manage my apps to the SD card with a stock ROM?
(If possible a detailed explanation please, remember I have Stock "S5830SERKPO" with 2.3.5. and my regional modem)
Thanks a lot.
Also let me say I had read this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172684
But I get lost into "make sure the rom supports it" and therefore not sure if this applies to S5830SERKPO 2.3.5
Well, seems that my post is getting to much attention yet... still, I have an update; today during the course of the day, two times the phone screen turns off and it does not come back until I remove the battery.
The phone continues to work... (the radio still plays, calls continue, etc) just the screen turns off without any means to turn it on.
Hope someone can guide into how to find a better solution for my need.
Probably the easiest way to fix that is to install a ROM from the dev section (make sure it supports A2SD) Cyanogenmod is not official for our Ace, wich means lots of bugs, but other Customs Roms should be ok for you.
Create a ext4 and swap with CWM in your sd card (reboot into recovery, advanced, create sd partitions) Open the A2SD app and turn the swap on, move applications.
For starters. I am a Nook noob and I am not affraid to admit it.
I have read, read, read, and then read some more about rooting, roms, CWM, CM, and so on and I did puzzle most of the pieces together, but not all.
If I got it right there basically are 3 different roms one can choose for the NT:
Stock rom (the original state)
Stock rom Rooted
Alternate roms: CM (7,8,9), MIUI or any other variation of Android firmware distribution
The usage distribution of the roms can be found in a poll here.
Stock (original) limits you in using full potential of the NT, which typically means that you can not use Google Drive, install/use any apps other then the ones Nook market provides. You can not put apps on the home screen, use any widgets and you are very limited in what you can alterate on the system.
Stock Rooted is the state in which that you are still using the original firmware, however you now have root acces. This means that you have acces to Google Drive and are able to install/use most of the apps on Google Drive on your NT. You can use various launchers to access these apps and can set a launcher as default instead of the original launcher.
The easiest way to get here is by rooting your NT through an SD card. You only need the SD card for the rooting process. The (rooted) firmware remains on the internal memory of the NT.
In this, you:
Still have acces to all the original Nook apps and features (you are still using the original Nook system)
You have the possibility to UNroot the device and turn it fully back to it's original state
What I am not sure about is:
Can you use / place apps on the home screen?
Can you use / place widgets on the home screen?
Are there any other important differences between Stock (original) and Stock Rooted?
When going for an alternate rom, you have a diversity of choices, but all are fully seperate roms, that either replaces the original firmware or complements it (dual boot). What you get in return is a fully functional, tweakable Android system, on which the version depends on the rom that you choose. You can access Google Drive, install/use most apps, place widgets, use different launchers, etc.
The easiest way to get here is by using a SD card. I can not find the specific topic that explains the procedure though. It seems that you can choose to maintain the original firmware and place the rom on the (external) SD, which leaves you with a dual boot system, or you can replace the stock rom with the custom rom.
In this, you:
Loose usage of all of the NT's orininal apps and features (when using the custom rom)
What I am not sure about is:
Where in the process you can choose to either place the custom rom on the (external) SD or install in the internal memory.
Are there any other important differences between Stock Rooted and custom rom?
My main question is: Can you confirm my findings and help me answer the questions/uncertainties?
I can imagine this thread would be of help to others who spent a lot of time reading, but are left with some basic questions. That is why I took my time writing it.
When you use the sd card method, I use a cm7 card when I boot the tablet with the card it boots up as a regular android tablet. It's does not install anything permanently to the tablet. I get full google play. Like I said no nook software at all just android tablet. I use the nook app if I want to read. It has the cool page turn animation the nook software does not go figure. Take out root sd card turn off and turn it back on with no sd card or an unpacked sd card, it boots up just like it came out of the box. All app installs music anything put on the nook with the hacked card in it goes on the card. You have no access to the nooks memory except ram which gets cleared as soon as u restart it. As long as the hacked sd card is not in it there's no way for anyone to tell you've done anything to it, cuz u haven't it all stays on the sd card. Performance is great I play 3D games like mad trigger with no lag, it's the best of both worlds & only way to go if u ask me. I don't know why anyone would do anything els. It's just to easy. Hope that helped.

Thread moved. While I appreciate the effort you've put into this post by reading up and finding out about all the different ROM's, you need to also look to make sure you post in the correct sections of the forum and this is also stated in the sticky in the General section, not to post questions in General. If your thread is a question/multiple questions and you even tick the "Is this a question box" when creating the thread then you must post it in the relevant Q&A section.
Thanks

Thanks, that helps indeed. So basically you only use the CM7 rom, and neglect the stocked software. Sounds like an attractive approach. Thouh it is a bit of a shame that the 8 or 16 GB of internal storage are not usable then.
@AvRS: I did read the section about no questions in the General Forum's policy. I actually thought I posted in the Q&A but appearantly I didn't. I probably started the thread just before I read that part. Thanks for moving it to the proper section.

For the first point: Not on firmware 1.4.3, but on lower firmwares you can download an app called Nook Color App Manager (you have to side-load it as it is not in the Play store) that will allow you to do just that.
For the second point: You cannot place widgets on the Stock launcher. You have to install an alternate launcher for widgets.
Also, I think you mean Google Play, not Google Drive.

Unless you re-partition your Nook, you never have access to the full 8/16GB. You only have access to the 1GB MyNook partition. You have to re-partition (or have a B&N store do it for you) to get more space for user apps.
Ok guys, thanks for all the answers. A lot more is clear now, but definately not all. Also, yes I mean Google Play / Not Drive (doh, my bad)
As I read more and more, it becomes clear to me that all the information about rooting the Nook is soooooo spread and unorganised. It is nearly impossible to make an informed choice without having to spent hours and hours of reading the forums.
Just now for example, after a total of 2-3 hours reading the forums, it came to my attention that there is a big difference between the 8GB and 16 GB NT and that some rooting procedures can brick the NT8.
Anyway, on with the questions:
It seems that the latest version CM10, is the one that currently has most of the attention and most of the development resources go to this. Is this version now steady? Also for N8GB? Are there still big issues, like: no microphone working, sudded reboots, crashes, etc?
I read that CM9 is no longer being develloped. Is this version steady now? Also for NT 8GB? With a working microphone, no sudden crashes, reboots, etc.? Or was it abandoned while unfinished?
How about CM7? Same questions as the above.
So basically, even afters hours of reading, I still have not figured out which version would be best to use for my 8GB NT, if I want full Android functionality, but with everything working steady (also microphone) and avoid any big issues.
Hope you guys can shine some (more) light on this.

Answers:
1) Most of the dev's I believe use NT 16 GB so NT 8GB is a bit of a risk.
2) True, CM9 is no longer being focused on, Jellybean is the center of attention. No it is not considered steady/daily driver material. You might as well flash a jelly bean rom if you are going to flash a newer rom on ur NT.
3) If you want a guarantee that a ROM will run on the NT 8GB, the CM7 ROM by celticwebsolutions internal version is your best bet. It should be guaranteed to work. All those features you mentioned should be working. VOIP does not work on any of the ROM's currently
Number 3 update
Just one update on part of the question, answer to 3); Magicjack app works on it.

Thanks a lot, that really answers most of my questions. To keep you guys on edge, just two more :
With the CM7 'celticwebsolutions rom' you mention 'internal'. I assume that you mean that this rom overwrites the stock rom. Is there an alternative 100% steady CM7 rom that can be loaded aside the stock rom (on external SD)?
Does the rooted version of the stock rom support VOIP, such as skype?
"Does the rooted version of the stock rom support VOIP, such as skype?" Nope, rooted not rooted on any version will not support direct Skype or Video conferencing app that I know of on NT. This may change once OTG is implemented in future development.

for your first question, there is an SD version but it has not been confirmed to work with NT 8GB
You can however make your own internal sd card version using the internal version provided here and instructions that are listed over a succulent's blog: www.iamafanof.wordpress.com
if you aren't all too tech savvy, I would advise against making your own bootable SD, but if want to experiment and learn a thing or two, go for it!

With the CM7 'celticwebsolutions rom' you mention 'internal'. I assume that you mean that this rom overwrites the stock rom. Is there an alternative 100% steady CM7 rom that can be loaded aside the stock rom (on external SD)?
Does the rooted version of the stock rom support VOIP, such as skype?

There are instructions on how to install/create your own SD Card version of any ROM, you just have to try it out.
Skype isn't supported at all. It will install (according to the Play Store online) on my JB (AOKP) NT16, but I don't think it will run. For one thing, there's no camera or camera support.

Why not use Magicjack for voip, it free unless you want to get the dongle for less than $30. With video conferencing app like skype, you can only text but what the point of that.
