help with twrp - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

is there any reason to install twrp 2.2.1 instead of just remaining with twrp 2.1.8? will all of the roms available install just the same with 2.1.8? i dont know if its really necessary to upgrade as i have seen some people are having issues with twrp 2.2.1. thx

nope. you can stay on it. shouldn't cause you any harm. but what were the problems? ive been running 2.2.1 since it dropped and its been fine

nothing wrong with 2.1.8. i just see where some of these new roms prefer that we be on twrp 2.2.1. im getting ready to upgrade using goomanager. is that safe to do since your a senior member? do u have any experience with that. and will all my backups still remain and be useable? i want to make sure i have my original backup which is after the ota update

i installed 2.2.1 with goo manager. how do i wipe my battery stats? its missing now. and thanks for your help if you can and if not thanks anyhow

If you want to try some of the newer roms you should upgrade. I know people that weren't on 2.2.1 and installed the new Venom rom had a lot of install problems with the aroma installer. The new twrp has a lot of new features it is worth upgrading.

You don't really have to wipe them since they get wiped with everything else when you wipe before a rom flash. If you want to at any point while using a rom there is an app in the market that will wipe them. When I find the name ill put it in this post. Gimme a sec
Edit: the app is called "battery calibration" just download it and when you open it grant it super user permissions and then follow the instructions. Really easy

[Q] Is it worth installing NottachTrix4G?

I'm thinking on installing NottachTrix4G on my ATT Atrix. It's currently rooted, and unlocked, running 4.5.91.
I can't seem to find any reviews or recommendations for NottachTrix4G.
Can anyone comment on their experience with it, if you already have it? Also, is there an install guide somewhere?
Thanks
Welcome to the forums! Read the actual thread for Nottachtrix. The developer is very much so respected, and has a huge number of fans that use his ROM, your best bet is to just give it a shot and use it for a day or two to see if you like it. Don't forget to nandroid back up your current setup before wiping anything that way you you can very easily switch back if you are dissatisfied. All it takes is a SEARCH, figured I would be the nice one before you get flamed with a million "Use search!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" replys
Info
There is some info about Nottach Trix on here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430608
and here:
http://www.nottachtrix.com/index.html
Also if you used and liked Darkside and/or Wet Dream you are 95% likely to enjoy Nottach Trix.

Link is in the ROM forum on Nottachtrix website
I moved from Wet Dream to Nottachtrix. So far, I've found the rom to be completely solid, all features working as advertised and without glitches on my end. At whatever point he releases his compatible ICS theme, I'll be a very happy camper.
About the most painless way to get up to 4.5.141, I'd say!
Is 1.2.3 the most current Version?
And Sheepacurious, what state were you at before?
unlocked BL?
Rooted?
4.5.93?
SoxFan37 - Thanks.

Unlocked bootloader, rooted, the dev post says Wet Dream was 4.5.140. Had to back up apps and SMS data, obviously, but you don't have to "get your phone back to stock" in order to flash this rom -- just make a nandroid backup and give it a shot.
as an international user (UK) do I need the ramfix.zip too.
The mods havent approved my login on the site, could anyone care to attach the file?
Many thanks

You will need the ramfix and you will be approved when Nottach gets round to it, so please don't be impatient.
I have been running this rom since yesterday the install is cool with the aroma installer the rom is relatively fast when let it settle in

Its very nice rom the wayt it comes and you can choose what you want to add or remove its really great you should try it.
You can also go in and freeze more processes as well and right now man i got about 520 mb free and scoring around 6300 on antutu.
Its not like cm7 builds but you can use webtop and an alternative if you want to stack stock mainly for me its because i use my webtop.
try it it's pretty cool
I thought wet dream was awesome, this ROM is even better. I just downloaded it today and no complaints.
+1 for you to download.

Previous State
ROOT, UL BL, 2.3.4/4.5.91, Alien ROM
I accidentally hit the update option when it popped up on the screen instead of hitting later. Then I the wifi off on my phone and that prevented the update from being downloaded. I tried to do a couple of things to prevent it from downloading
1. Freezing Upgrader 2.3.4 using TiBu - This did not work.
2. Using CWM - Cleared cache etc and this did not do the trick either.
So, I finally gave up and used UncleCemka's guide to upgrade to 4.5.141 (2.3.6) and it was successful.
So, present state
ROOT, UL BL, 2.3.6/4.5.141, Stock.
Can I flash NottachTrix4G? The thing I miss the most is the WebTop over HDMI
Thanks in advance,

Yes. It'll work fine. It doesn't mess with the webtop partition, so you'll need to re-do the HDMI exploit or flash the 2.3.6 webtop fruitcake which has that fix worked in.

Here you go. It's the Fruitcakes thread over in the dev forum.
now: you took the OTA update, which I'm pretty sure updated your webtop as well. The webtop fruitcake says 4.5.140; this may or may not be precisely the same version as your current one. With that in mind, I might try redoing the webtop-over-HDMI hack first since it's a pretty simple procedure and keeps your current version intact.

[Q] Milestone x2 on 2.3.6

I'm a noob. I have a cdma version of the Milestone x2 running 2.3.6 rooted. I was wanting to know should I install a custom rom or nandroid port. What are my options , I want everything to work ( just work faster ). Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yea, thats the first thing you always do. Make a backup and store it some place safe. THEN start experimenting lol.
Ok, got the backup made, flashed Eclipse 2.2.1. I like this much better than stock. Last night I was tinkering with it and installed Supercharger v6 script on it. I ran several different options and then after restarting, it was constantly on roaming for data. It was fine before, I flashed my backup back onto it and re did everything. It is back to normal. Does anyone know why it would be on roaming. Thanks for being patient with a new guy. People on here are a great help

Not sure but you can always check your settings. I had a rom on one of mine a while back and it came as default to rain outside of my home area somehow. Also, try to update the PRL. Not sure how to do it with your carrier. Mine is *228(Alltel) .
Also, how did you do your back up? Im wanting a custom ROM on mine but I have no ABC if all foes bad and I'm not sure I could do a Nandroid.

You have to install BSR first. After that, power off your phone and plug it into your charger. It will take you to recovery so you can make a backup, install roms, etc...

2.3.6 Rom?
Skinzaholic:
I have a MX2 which belonged to my brother (a technologically inept moron who took the 2.3.6 update). I was finally able to gain root yesterday, and since then I've been looking for a custom rom to get rid of motoblur. Everything I've read about eclipse says that it's for 2.3.4/2.3.5 only, and will not work for 2.3.6. When you flashed it, was it fully functional for you?

All great advice. Just remember you bsr is trash when you wipe system OR data!!
Or even the rom fails to boot. Almost anything can upset bsr on the quaint Dx2. Or the Mx2 same phone ReRecovery works on it also.

Rerecovery has never worked for me.
Also all Roms work on 2.3.6. The down side is it is not downgradable. Check out the mx2 folder in my android crap folder. The link is in my signature. I kept the zips for several Roms in there. If the gapps aren't there Google for them.

noob in trouble!

Hello all, I hope this is the right place to ask this, but I recently crossed over to Android devices from BB so I'm still trying to figure out my way around things. Today I flashed ICS Android version 4.0.3, kernel version 3.0.8-perf-i717uclc5-cl281649 and build number iml74k.144 onto my Note and the installation went fine, had no problems at all, but now I can't install apps from my web browser(Chrome) onto my Note like I could before the flash. USB debugging is on.
Is this something that I may have done wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

To be honest, I really don't know, like I said I'm coming from BB and still trying to figure everything out. Here's the link that I downloaded the ROM from:
rootzwiki.com/topic/22134-sgh-i717uclc5-ice-cream-sandwich
If anyone has a link to a better ROM, I'm definitely open to try them out. I would just like to know how to fix the problem of not being able to install apps from the Play Store from my web browser.
You can't install apps using Chrome browser from your PC ?
Why not use the Market (play store) app that's already on your phone? You have to have a Gmail account set up on your phone to access the market.

I've been using the app that's on my phone but EVERYTHING on my phone got wiped and it's a bit easier to multi-task on a computer than it is a phone, so it's more about comfort ability at the moment, but this is just one issue arising, how many other, and potentially more serious issues are going to arise?

So I downloaded the Seraphim First Flight, but I have no idea how to flash it onto my device, I'm assuming you can't do it through Odin?
You better stop! There are so many instructions about rom flashing. Study up!
You can ruin your phone with the click of a button. You sound close to it.
It's really not that hard...
0. Download Rom of your choice to somewhere on your external SD card.
1. Use Odin to flash the latest version of i717 ClockWorkMod Recovery (aka "CWM" )
2. Boot into CWM (use 3-finger salute method to boot into recovery).
3. Clear cache/factory reset
4. Install Rom of your choice that you had saved to your external SD card.
5. Reboot and enjoy .
But yeah, if any/all of the above confuses you, then you REALLY need to spend many hours reading before you go any further.
As for roms, I recommend dman's (as already mentioned) or ICS Perfection -- both have lots of active support...
Good luck.
+1 listen to dman he is D-MAN. you cant go wrong with anything made by THE COLLECTIVE...... any Collective rom will set you straight, just read all instructables .

Him mentioning USB debugging immediately made me think he was speaking about side loading APKs.
If you're trying to install apps downloaded from sources other than the market, for future reference, you must check the "unknown sources" box under settings>security.

Updating from Alien4 to a current rom

Hey guys I'm wanting to update my atrix from 4.5.91 running alien4 and faux123 v0.1.7 kernel to the current version of CM10. What's my best way to go about doing this. Currently right now the phone keeps asking me to update every hour and I can't stand it anymore. I haven't messed with the phone in a while and it looks like a lot has changed since i have been here last. From what i have gathered it looks like i'm safe to install romracers recovery and then install the most recent version of cm10. Please advise on how I should go about getting my phone up to date. Thank you! I will donate to whoever helps btw.

first off, wrong section
second off, it looks like you already know what to do. fastboot install Romracer's recovery, or install the latest CWM from Rom Manager, then just install you .zip after wiping everything
Seemed like a dev related question to me...sorry. If someone could move it that'd be great.
mistakes happen, this is a section for active development, new things happening to our device. the Q&A section would be more fitting for any troubleshooting questions like this.

Wipe caches, system, boot, factory reset (data), flash rom and gapps.
Sent from my Nexus 7

Cynogenmod 11

So guys, I have finally rooted my s3 (international version) after the warranty expired a week ago.
Have installed CWM and am in a search of ROM for it now.
For now I have decided to flash CM 11, but have few doubts about it:
Should I install m9 snapshot or m10 snapshot? I read it on reddit that m10 is not stable, so should I go for m9 instead for now?
And the zip file from their official site is around 212 MB, so does this zip file contain gaaps? If no, then where can I find the gaaps file for cm 11 m9 snapshot version?
I am kinda new to these things so sorry for being so noob.
And since I am flashing a rom for the first time, do I need to do anything else other than these steps:
1. Backup current rom using recovery.
2. Copy the zip file of the cm 11 rom in SD card.
3. Reboot into recovery, clear data, clear cache and clear dalvik cache.
4. Flash rom and gaaps(if not included in rom).
Any help regarding the above post

You need to do some reading before you start playing.

I have actually read a lot about it, have done all the prerequisite steps (nandroid backup, efs folder backup etc), have downloaded cm 11 m9 and gaaps for it, now the only thing that is stopping me from flashing is rootSU post here which says:
"Note that Cyanogenmod is very controversial for the international version of the S3, there are technical issues, and newer stable version is always behind, I would NOT go for Cyanogenmod at the moment.."
So should i go ahead and flash cm 11? What do you guys suggest. I know i am being too preventive but this is my first time so i think this is understandable.

That was made 2 years ago. Ignore that and flash cm if you want to give it a try. Countless number of us use it no problems. If you don't like it you can always flash something else.
Thank you for your reply. So alright I will flash cm now, and will keep you updated about my experience of flashing my first rom. Lol.

To OP
Its funny how I am in the Exact same postion as you. I have CRM recovery and thinking about CM, I have downloaded the Snapshot. verison and hopefully will be flashing my first ever ROM today or tomorrow. Let me know how it goes for you please
DARK - Can i ask which CM verison and build are you CURRENLTY using? and how do you find it?
and quick question.
I see in some youtube vidoes ( I understand we wipe cache/dalvik/partion) but some people do something like Mount/ system thingy? Do I HAVE TO do that? as some vidoes DON'T do it?
Thank You

Have successfully flashed CM 11 M9 snapshot, and everything is good as of now.
And I also didn't mount anything, just follow the simple steps ( wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, flash rom and gaaps), and everything should go fine.

tHANKS How much FREE RAM do you get in CM11 Snapshot.
I will be doing the EXACT Same thing as you today or tomorow .
but I have a question , I'm stuck
How did you BACK UP your EFS folder/file?
I cant back it up suing the APP KTool Hack?
There is not much difference in free ram, but that should not be a problem I guess.
And for tha efs I actually used a app called Samsung tool (there is thread here on xda, go ahead and search it, else I will provide you tha link once I get on pc.) But after I read about k-tool, I even used it to backup it again and it worked for me fine. So you can try Samsung tools or may be some expert can help you in this regard.

Hey!!!!!! THANKS!!!
I USED Samsung TOOL
I JUST PUT THE FIRST EVER ROM ON MY PHONE!!!!!!
IT WORKS!!! :d
Im so happy I didn't screw anything lol!!!
How are you finding it?
only 1 stupid thing I got charged for a GPS because my phone automatic used mobile data!
CM11 Snapshot, is like Normal Stock Andriod. Has a few new things? like DPS and some terminal setting - Not sure.
It felt a bit laggy ,first but then speeded up.
WAHOOOO I GOT KITKAT!!!
Lol nice.
For me it wasn't laggy at all, buttery smotth. And yes as of now I haven't found any drastic changes, although haven't used phone much after updating but still I don't think my battery life is gonna improve :/ So most probably would be dead soon, will have to research on it though but thats out of topic now
Android operates differently to windows so the theory about free ram doesn't apply here.

Hello, so how are you finding it, after a week?
Unfortunatly, I am now trying to find a new ROM
The problem I have is the battery life, is TERRIBLE
I lost 10% on stand by over night

Don't blame the rom. Install betterbatterystats and find the actual cause.
