I see that everyone is recommending using 4ext to install this ROM. In the past I have used CWM and an unfamiliar on the steps to take to install this ROM. Could someone please help on the steps necessary to install this ROM, its phone crash fix, and new radios?
Setting up 4eXT:
You can install it by going to settings > apps and checking unknown sources, then scanning this QR code with the barcode scanner app to download the 4ext recovery updater app.

}
Once it's downloaded tap the notification and tap install.
Then tap open.
Set up the app by tapping accept, then ok twice, then tap "online install | upgrade", then tap allow on the superuser popup, then tap ok, then check "Do not ask again", then tap yes, then wait, then tap ok until the popups are gone, then tap yes on the "is this your device" if it says thunderbolt, then tap "4EXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.5 RC5", then tap ok, then tap install. Once it finishes installing tap ok then tap yes.
Installing the ROM:
From the main menu of 4eXT recovery updater, tap "Power menu" then tap ok. Then make sure reboot into recovery is selected and tap "Do it!".
Once in recovery, tap "backup | restore" and then tap backup and then the check mark.
Once it's done backing up hit the back button until you're at the main menu.
Then tap "wipe | format" then tap "format all partitions (except sdcard)"
Once it's done formatting hit back and do the format two more times.
Then go to the main menu and tap "install from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard"
Then scroll down until you see the ROM name then tap it, then tap the check mark.
Once it's done installing, tap the check mark then go back to the main menu then tap "reboot now" and tap the check mark.
I followed those instructions and was able to install the ROM. However, I am still having issues making calls. After the reboot, I let the phone sit for a while then did the initial settings. I let the phone sit again and then tried to make a call. I got the error "unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped." I then rebooted into recovery cleared both caches twice and flashed the phone crash zip. I then rebooted the phone and waited a while. I tried to make a call and still get the same error. Any ideas?
Make sure when u format in recovery you do it in ext3 format. All current tb ics leak based ROMs are structured that way, because no one can customize the kernel until it's released by HTC/VZW. If u have ext4 formatting, you will have issues. To check which one you got, in recovery select "info". It will list all partitions and their base format.
If any are ext4 (probably is), wipe everything again. Then go to "tools" and choose format in ext3. Reformat everything into ext3. Then reflash the ROM as listed above.

I tired that method last and I still had issues. I really like 4ext better than CWM. Sounds like there might be a ROM update later this week. I think I will wait for that to try again.

Excited to give you guys a walk through again. I have included my hybrid flavor of the EB01 stock ROM. I have kept TouchWiz on there but removed all bloat ware and dibinged the phone. I have also included the Gingerbread keyboard apk (separate install, I just love this keyboard.).
Don’t worry, I have a link for the stock too.
First this will assume that you are on the DL30 leak. This is for the Fascinate and no other phone. I am not responsible for your doing. This is what worked for me.
If you are not up to the standard above click here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11177786#post11177786
**********************************************************************
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU DOING. THIS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY OF YOUR PHONE.
THIS IS JUST THE STEPS I DID TO GET MY PHONE TO EB01 FROYO.
***********************************************************************
You will need the following items:
Samsung Drivers
Odin 1.3
eb01modem.tar
update.zip
cwm_froyo.zip
eb01_SlicedFlav_pub.zip
OR
eb01_stock.zip
Now follow the below steps
1.] Download and install the Samsung Drivers
2.] Connect your phone to your computer and copy over the update.zip, cwm_froyo.zip, eb01_SlicedFlav_pub.zip (or) eb01_stock.zip to the “ROOT” of your SDCARD.
3.] After you download Odin and eb01modem.tar put them in the same folder.
4.] Disconnect your phone from the PC, power off, and pull your battery out. (It’s the easiest way)
5.] Plug in your phone while holding the volume down and turn the phone on. You will see a yellow triangle
***************************************************************************************
THIS IS IMPORTANT > DO NOT TOUCH ANY SETTINGS IN ODIN, ONLY USE THE PDA BUTTON AND THE START BUTTON.
IF YOU TOUCH ANY OTHER BUTTONS IN ODIN YOU COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE.
***************************************************************************************
6.] Launch Odin as administrator in Vista and 7.
7.] Select the PDA button. AND ONLY THE PDA BUTTON, YOU CAN BRICK YOUR PHONE.
8.] Select the “eb01modem.tar” file.
9.] Click on “Start”.
10.] You phone will shut off, give it a min or so and it will boot back into download mode.
11.] Unplug your phone, put your battery back in, and boot into recovery mode by holding volume up and down while pressing the power button. Let go of the power button when you see “Samsung”.
12.] Scroll using your volume up and down keys. Highlight "apply sdcard:update.zip” and use your “Home” key to select.
13] Now you want to “wipe cache” twice for good measure. Highlight “wipe cache” and use your power button to select now. Scroll down and select “Yes” both times.
14.] Now you will want to “wipe data/factory reset” twice. Highlight “wipe data/factory reset” select it, and then select “Yes”.
15.] Now you will want to select “install zip from sdcard” then select “choose zip from sdcard”.
16.] Scroll down and select “cwm_froyo.zip” and confirm it. The screen will go wonky for a second.
17.] Select “choose zip from sdcard” again.
18.] Scroll down and select “eb01_SlicedFlav_pub.zip” or “eb01_stock.zip” confirm your selection.
19.] Let it do its thing and boot up.
You now have the way SlicedDrip feels the Fascinate should be and the way Verzion thinks it should be.
Have fun.
If you want the Gingerbread keyboard, download it HERE, move to your phone, use your favorite file manager, browse, and install.
The following only applies to the SlicedFlav install:
ITEMS REMOVED:
All VZW apps

AH!!! I was looking for a stock eb01 but superclean with TOUCHJIZZ!!!! (without bloatware, frankly, it's the best laucher)
The other roms have time lag so I'll give this a try. If it still does.... then...... I still love you for giving me touchwiz. (this is the only reason I like touchwiz: The message icon bar on wallpaper has little numberings for message counts.)
This is a tutorial for those who are new to android OS and rooted their phones early out of excitement (most of you might have done that ) of getting to flash new ROM's, kernels and blah.... There might be a few terminologies you don't understand. If that is the case please refer to the all time android dictionary by Diablo67: Android terms, slangs and definitions
I posted the tutorial on my blog too, but I think it will be much appreciated if I post it here too:
If your phone keeps rebooting
If you've flashed a ROM and your phone won't boot into the home screen, it's probably because you forgot to wipe your data and/or cache. It's trying to boot into the ROM, but some leftover data from your last ROM is causing it to error out, and it'll reboot itself over and over again. If your phone's eating a big bowl of boot loops, your first course of action should be to wipe its data and cache, which you can do from recovery mode. This method assumes you're using ClockworkMod Recovery, like the majority of Android users, but if your particular phone uses a different third-party recovery (like AmonRA), you should still be able to find these options in the interface. They might just be in a different place. To wipe your data and cache:
1.Power down your phone. Turn it back on and boot into Recovery mode. This is a bit different for every phone, so you'll have to Google how to do it for your specific model. Usually it involves holding down another button, like Volume Down, as you turn your phone on. HTC phones will have to then select "Recovery" from a menu, while other phones will boot directly into ClockworkMod. You'll know you're in ClockworkMod by the words "ClockworkMod Recovery" at the top of the screen.
2.Use your volume keys to navigate the menus, and your power button to select menu items. Scroll down to Advanced, and choose "Wipe Dalvik Cache". When that's finished, go back to the main screen and choose "Wipe Cache Partition". Lastly, head to "Wipe Data/Factory Reset". This will delete all your settings and apps, but you should still be using the correct ROM.
3.Reboot your phone.
If Your Phone Boots Straight Into Recovery: Flash a New ROM
If, when you boot up your phone, it goes straight into ClockworkMod, then there's likely an issue with the ROM you flashed. Note that some ROMs boot into recovery mode automatically after flashing, so reboot your phone once from recovery mode to make sure you're having a problem. HTC users: if you boot up your phone, it might go straight into the bootloader—check to see whether you can choose "Recovery" from the list before continuing to the next step. HTC phones usually don't boot straight into recovery.
In this case, you'll want to reflash the ROM from scratch. Try again with the ROM that messed up your phone, if you so choose, but if that doesn't work, try an entirely different ROM. The best way to do this is to download a ROM from somewhere on the net and putting it on your SD card. You'll need to take the SD card out of your phone, and you'll need an SD card reader that you can plug into your computer. Here's how it works:
Plug the SD card into your computer. Drag the ROM's ZIP file to your SD card, and wait for it to copy.
When it's done copying, eject the SD card and put it back in your phone. Reboot into Recovery mode. This is a bit different for every phone, so you'll have to Google how to do it for your specific model. Usually it involves holding down another button, like Volume Down, as you turn your phone on. HTC phones will have to then select "Recovery" from a menu, while other phones will boot directly into ClockworkMod. You'll know you're in ClockworkMod by the words "ClockworkMod Recovery" at the top of the screen.
Use your volume keys to navigate the menus, and your power button to select menu items. Scroll down to "Install ZIP From SD Card" and navigate to the ZIP file you just copied over. Give it time to flash the ROM.
When it's done, reboot your phone.
Hopefully, your phone should successfully boot into the new ROM. From there, you can probably assume that the previous ROM that messed up your phone isn't going to work, and you'll have to find another ROM for now—or find another copy of that ROM that isn't corrupted. Remember to make backups of your working ROMs so you don't lose all your data!

I have the i9300 and recently i install a new rom based on S5 Q5 with 4.4.2 that changes the function of the home button and the left button (neer the home button).
Here is the name of the rom: S5-QS-i9300_KK_v2.9(NI1)_FOR_CWM
When i click on the home button for 2 sec it throws me to a scrern with "google now" thing.
When i click on the left button it gives me the option to clear process on backgroung (which it was exctly on my older rom version). See below:

Here. Tested and works on bulldog's DN4 Port.
Longpress on menu gives SFinder not google shortcut for me.
Backup your existing files first. Easiest way is to extract the zip and replace with what you got in your rom, rename it and zip it back, so you don't get mixed up btwn current and this zip:

First thing you must Backup your system. to restore it just in case you failed
1-Put the zip file "Hardware_key_remap" in your SD Card
2-Reboot your phone and hold down Volume Up, Center Home, and Power button together.
When you see the Samsung logo, let go buttons
You should now be in CWM Recovery.
3-Install the zip file from SD Card
4-Reboot
It will effect my system

Hi All,
I created a Android 7.0 Nougat Moboot theme.

Instructions:
Flash zip file from recovery
Download:
http://www.filedropper.com/update-tenderloin-moboot-nougat
Check it out and let me know if you have any feedback.
Nicely done, fetching now.
Update: some serious problems encountered.
1) after flashing zip with latest Nougat TWRP, and rebooting, saw the top half of the screen as scrambled, colorful hash overplayed with moboot menu. I thought the download might have been messed up, so I downloaded again and flash again. Same result.
2) booting Nougat succeeded, but when I later tried to reboot into TWRP recovery (long press power button, select reboot, select recovery), the moboot menu has defaulted to Evervolv and goes back into the Nougat system. I have to toggle the volume buttons to select TWRP manually each time to get to recovery. This is more serious matter.
Now for the tough question: how do I roll this back? I have a saved nandroid backup of boot volume from last Sunday. Can I simply restore that backup image and reboot?
Update 2:
Confirming that a restore of the boot volume from nandroid backup cured my woes. All observations listed above corrected back to previous operational modes. However, I'm now missing the lovely Nougat boot background. Looking forward to a remedy. Thanks!

You might want to give the TWRP Manager App and it's Widget a try. Two screen taps and you're headed into recovery.
I use it on all of my tablets.

Thanks for the pointer. I tried it and that works swell. [emoji2]
Any notion why the new theme choked the boot option from Nougat power button channel? Permissions on one of the moboot files, maybe? I noticed the tga file was updated today, as well as moboot.next with a size of zero. Moboot.default was 8 bytes in size and contained "Evervolv". I didn't catch the permission settings while I was browsing around in /boot, but I can go back and extract that info, if beneficial. I'd have to refresh the theme again, but it's possible.

@Globaltraveler5565 I'm sorry this has given you some troubles. I downloaded the file from the link above and flashed it just to make sure it wasn't a corrupt file I uploaded. I am unable to reproduce your issue and I have my theme. I can boot to evervolv 7.0.0 latest by default after 5 seconds, then reboot holding the power button and choosing Recovery within Android. Once the tablet reboots, moboot automatically loads "/boot/uImage.TWRP". I can also reboot System and Recovery from within TWRP with no issues. I went into TWRP, mounted /boot as r/w, and I have a number of files, including the following:
moboot.background.tga (my file)
moboot.default
moboot.splash.Evervolv.tga
uImage
uImage.Evervolv
uimage.moboot
uImage.TWRP
TWRP doesn't list the file permissions of these, so I booted into Evervolv, ES file explorer shows uImage.TWRP with root root rw-r--r-- Size: 8.80MB.
It sounds like you may have a incomplete/corrupted TWRP installation or other misconfiguration. Did you get TWRP from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/hp-touchpad/development/rom-evervolv-7-0-0p1-wifi-t3456292
EDIT: Also, I have no idea what moboot.next is. Maybe that is related to next boot and what recovery booting from Evervolv is using? I would try renaming/removing that file.
Went to do a backup to Ext Card with almost 57GB on it. Chose NORMAL and left only boot, system, data and internal storage (default) checked. Specified Ext card as location. Process appears to start correctly (fast scrolling f files, but I never get the next screen with Flashfire band across the top showing the actual backing up - screen just goes dark except for blue light in upper left corner. It stops at that stage. Never reboots. I have to remove battery to restart, and when I look for the backup there's nothing except a popup that states "no backups found" and "restore from ADB."
Don't want to attempt flashing a new ROM (e.g., Stang5litre) if I can't get it to even backup.

You need to set date and time 01/01/2000 for FlashFire works on older versions...
