I am running what's listed in my sig.
In the innefabillis ROM in Mik tweaks, there is an option to totally remove the boot animation to speed it up drastically.
I did this weeks ago, but I don't see that it really speeded it up at all. It says to reflash the ROM to get it back. Can I just wipe cache and davlik and flash the ROM over the top of my current setup without losing all my current setup??

If the script just deletes the boot animation file you could just pull that from your ROM zip file and put it back if you really want it back. Otherwise you could probably just flash right over top without even wiping.

I tried just replacing the boot animation file, but it doesn't work.
Guess I will try flashing over it.

If it is the same Rom you are able to just flash over it. But I would backup your data as some roms wipe data automatically

And just something that might be easier is that if you have a backup of that Rom you can just do advanced restore of system. But the boot animation is setup in an xml in /system/etc/customize. I believe it is a file called default.xml in mns or cid folder. The entry is at the bottom. If you replaced boot animation and it didn't.work they probably edited the xml too and that's why replacing the zip file didn't work

LOL, well I tried reflashing the ROM without clearing anything & when it was done it had put everything back to a brand new flash of the ROM which is exactly what I didn't want.
All my apps where gone, my two themes where gone etc. No big deal, I restored an Amona Ra BU & five minutes later it was fine again.
I don't mind redoing the whole system at all, but at this point I am waiting on an official release of ICS & all the themes ported over etc before I do that.....

This is all done in ROM Manager: clear your download cache, check erase recovery before flashing in the settings, re-flash latest CWM, be happy
Hit menu and you will see the button to clear the download cache, hit menu and then settings and you will see the check box to erase recovery.
Thank Slayher guys, not me, he's the one who fixed it
You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. This worked perfectly!
It worked pretty good, thanks a lot.

CW?
Is this for CW 3.0.2.4? And where is the download cache? Sorry for stupid question, I haven't upgraded to latest recovery because of said problems.
I just installed V3.0.2.4. Would that be the right version?
confirmed working mostly, havent tested on a restore yet, made a backup and installed a zip fine. no format in this zip though. in RM press menu and you you will see clear cache. and yes this is for 3.0.2.4
make sure under menu you also click erase recovery. this will erase recovery partition before flashing new recovery.
Nice find!
Just for reference sake....why do we want to erase a recovery partition prior to installing a new recovery

Just to make sure that it's wiped clean before a new flash, the same reason you should do a complete wipe before bouncing to a different ROM.

Do you have to keep erase recovery checked once you reflash the recovery? Or is this a one time deal then revert back to unchecked in settings?

I dont see how it would hurt to leave it checked... deleting every time until we establish a stable recovery is probably your best bet for now...

This was not the case for me. I did a restore using 3.0.2.2 and everything works great except for the market. I get a fc after downloading an app, right as it's trying to install. Does any have any suggestions?

If all you are clearing is the cache, and not wiping data/cache/davlik, that is your problem right there...

When all else fails, follow unroot steps to return to stock and restart the process. Something you're doing doesn't seem to be adding up.

What ROM are you trying to flash, and what recovery are you using? The most reliable is arguably the Clockworkmod version...

Returning to stock is a good way to resolve this issue.
So guess what, you can change the color inside the rom settings
Oh thanks for the help
Are you using ROM manager to flash roms or doing it manually? if your not you should try rom manager it has an option that lets you wipe all data before flashing the new rom. i use it and ive never had any problems

If you search this forum or Google 'unrevoked', you'll easily find a complete guide and walkthrough on how to root your phone, which'll (as part of the process) load clockworkmod boot recovery.
The next time you reboot, hold the volume down key, which takes you into your boot screen, and use the vol up and down keys to select 'recovery', and press the power button.
From there, wiping your cache partitions and doing a full factory wipe is very straightforward.
That's the easiest way to fully flatten your phone before installing a new ROM.
Edit - the process might differ a bit for your model phone, but the principle will be the same...

if i backed up my system before flashing my rom, and i want to install a new rom, do i back up the current rom then wipe everything then load the new rom?
If you want to, you don't have to, just make sure you have at least one system back up just in case you get a bootloop or something to restore.
whats a bootloop? and remember how you told me to back up my system the first time, thats the only one i need? like i can just put rom on sd card wipe then install?

That's correct, a bootloop is when you install a rom and it keeps reboot or gets stuck on the bootanimation without actually going into android.

How long does it stay on the bootscreen? Is it the "cyanogenmod" bootscreen, or the HTC one?
Sometimes it takes a while to boot up...I haven't had issues with any of my attempts, and I've done them "wrong" on purpose, to see if it makes a major difference. The only time I have issues is when I do it completely wrong and not flash the boot.img.
Are you installing other things? A different kernel as well, maybe? Might also want to try to redownload -- maybe you had a bad zip..?
That is a bit odd, but have you tried official nightly to see how it acts?

Sounds to me like you're not doing something right. Are you sure that you're flashing the right boot.img? Take us through an exact step by step of what you're doing....this isn't a problem that anyone else is having as far as I'm aware.

I had this problem when I was first trying to install CM10 as well. I used TWRP as my recovery, and was HTC Dev unlocked with HBOOT 1.15 (I used the RegawMOD one-click root method)
Note: I'm not going into complete detail on all of the steps, but I'll go into detail on where I made the mistake
1. Use adb/fastboot to flash the boot.img from the CM10 zip file. Reboot into recovery.
2. Select wipe, then do a factory reset, then a system wipe, then a cache wipe, and then a dalvik cache wipe (in that order). Stay in recovery.
3. Flash CM10. Stay in recovery.
4. Flash gapps. Stay in recovery.
5. Select Reboot > system
Step 2 is where I was messing up. I wasn't doing the factory reset (or wasn't doing the resets in the right order). After that, it did take awhile for it to boot up (5-10 minutes, maybe more). It only takes that long the first time it boots, every time since has been pretty quick.
Also, I got my instructions from a youtube video, but I couldn't find it after searching for 20 minutes. Although it's late, and my brain is fried, so I might have found it and just not recognized it.
Hope this helps.
(Also, I'd suggest doing ALL of the steps over again, from the top, not just the one that you think you might have missed. I don't think that all of the steps have to be done in order, but doing some of them out of order is what was causing my issue, so better just to start from the beginning)
when i download the zip i extract the boot.img to where ever im going to fastboot it
then i superwipe my phone
i install the nightly then the gapps
after i boot to bootloader and fastboot
the phone starts up but then if i ever reboot the phone it just hangs on the boot animation
i have done this proccess with every rom and no problems just with this one

Ok. My first rule of thumb is that if you are trying multiple roms, make sure you rename the boot.img accordingly. I change the name to correspond with the date and rom (like 915cm10boot.img). I don't get them confused and they're always right.
Download the rom.
Extract boot.
Boot into recovery and wipe everything that isn't your sd card. I always do them in order from TWRP, starting from the left top. I don't superwipe, so let's skip that for now.
Install your rom and your gapps. Rom first, gapps after.
Once that's done, navigate back to the main tarp and choose the reboot option, then choose bootloader.
Fastboot flash your renamed boot.img file.
Reboot device.
Do not...do not sync/restore apps from Google during the initial setup. Just do the bare minimum that you have to to get through setup.
Reboot.
report back.

So I found another thread like this but couldn't seem to find an answer. I am new to rooting and wanted to put the viper rom on my phone. But after I install it the phone just keeps rebooting, it will get to viper and then flash my lockscreen and go straight to a reboot. So steps I did to get the rom.
First I went to fast boot and fastboot flash boot boot.img. Then I went into recovery (I have 4ext) activated smart flash and factory restored/wiped my phone. Lastly I installed the zip file from recovery window. I have s-on but that shouldn't matter the way I did it right? I am not sure I did everything right but I have done smooth criminal on my phone and that worked fine, just that my wifi radio stopped working which is weird. Any help would be appreciated I am a noob =]

Try some other ROM. If the phone boots fine, try Viper again, but don't flash boot.img before, just wipe and flash from recovery. And make sure smartflash is turned on
