Hello,
I have a motorola atrix 4g and have successfully installed The DarkSide preFinal [2.3.5] rom and I see some other people in the thread have shared some mods like the ICS theme and volume wake and blurtasks but I am not sure how to install them, last time I tried to just install them via CWM and just install from zip each one but that caused the phone to get stuck on the boot animation and had to wipe it again.
If anyone has more knowledge of how to do this and would be nice enough to share I will really appreciate it
Thank you.
Normally, that is how you would install the addons. Did you let the phone boot up first before rebooting into recovery? I've found that if you install the addons right after installing the rom without letting it fully boot, then it gets in a bootloop.
did not try that
Hello,
I did not try to let the rom boot first, I actually installed the rom and just went back to the menu and installed the mods one at a time right after the rom.
Thank you for the suggestion, I will definitely try that.
I hope I can backup my apps now

I am trying to create a Custom ROM. After installing my Custom ROM, i would like to start the CWM Recovery on first boot.
Please let me know how to do it.
Thanks in advance.
Better would be if we could get an option everytime we switch on our phone asskinng us to whether boot in cwm or normally. Would be much easier to do something like wiping data, switching rom without booting the device two or three times. Thanks in adavance for help
I am now using G3MOD Lite. It works fine.

Hey,
I wanted to update my Gingerbread MIUI and picked an ICS version cause I didn't look properly.
Now I'm stuck at the xiaomi logo and also can't get into recovery to do anything.
Is there a way to fix this?
I appreciate your help guys!

No recovery (assuming you're not pressing the wrong key combo) = flash stock rom in Odin to get a 'clean slate'. Then you can re-root your phone & try Miui again if you're still game.
sounds like
it sounds like you never deleted all data, dalvek cache or reset phone before you installed new rom.
just a thought
its aslo usefull to install rom, when finished while in rec. mode find fix permissions, clickn run, reboot then.
THEN istall updated gapps recommended in rom thread (if rom doesn't have gapps (google apps) preinstalled, romthread will tell you)and repeat fix perm. clickn reboot. dont make the mistake of doing it All at once ive found this helps

Yeah, and don't forget to do a factory/data reset after u flashed any ROM, custom or stock. If you do that the phone wont get stuck on the boot screen(S logo). Happened to me xD

installed boot.img (kernal) then installed zip with cwm
last time i did it i installed zip then an patch zip and after that i flashed kernal but dident work either. PLZ help
One thing to remember is that a lot of people develop the roms on their own, for themselves, and losing your temper and swearing isn't exactly conducive to people helping you.
If you need to ask for help, perhaps cutting down the swearing and asking politely, even if you are frustrated, will help a lot.
There's a phrase that comes to mind... "You catch more flies with honey then vinegar".
There's no big science behind ROM flashing...
First thing, copy ROM zip file onto your SDcard.
If your bootloader is locked, make sure you have CWM recovery installed.
Start the phone. When you see the logo getting brighter, keep pressing volume DOWN until recovery menu appears.
If you have unlocked bootloader, flash a custom kernel. That way you have CWM.
Start your phone. The LED will change color to signal you to press volume DOWN in order to enter recovery.
Choose factory reset, wipe cache.
In some cases if the ROM won't boot you'll need to go advanced> select wipe dalvik.
After that choose install zip from sdcard and choose ROM zip.
That's it?
Make sure the your kernel is compatible with the ROM you're trying to flash.
For example cyanogenmod requires it's own kernel.
And make sure you're flashing a ROM that is actually intended for your device
I just rooted my Nook Tablet.
After rooting it I made the mistake of installing cm10.1.2 without wiping first. My first issue was that it stuck on the cm loading gif. I figured out I could get into recovery by holding the power and home button and do a factory reset which let me boot up fully, but it had a weird screen glitch right before the cm loading gif.
So, now I have all my problems. I want to make whatever I did clean so I don't have any issues come up in the future. First of all I can't get Google Apps set up. None of the APKs work for it. To counter this I tried to get Rom Manager installed directly from the CW website but within Rom Manager it tells me I need the latest version in order to download any roms.
To make things worse I cannot seem to get into recovery mode. Every time I try to boot into recovery mode I get the screen that says I need to reboot my tablet and if the problem persists I need to contact B&N support.
What I'd like to do is somehow get ROM Manager working and install a fresh version of CM with a data/cache wipe and then I feel like it would work but if anybody knows a better way to do it or what please let me know.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43326042&postcount=123 for pointers on how to flash CM10 internally on emmc.
If you prefer to stick with pure CM10.1.2, just use its ROM zip file in step 2(c) but in which case you'll also need to flash CWM recovery separately (e.g., flashing flashable_CWM_6.0.2.x.zip from http://goo.im/devs/succulent/acclaim/recovery).
Thanks for the link. I followed his steps as close as i could and everything seems to be working flawlessly.
