Kaioken Rom
PLEASE make sure to thank the developer for the dedication to his ROM
Please do not clutter the Development thread with non development-related chatter
FAQ
Q Why a special Q&T Thread for a specific ROM??
A The bigger a ROM development thread gets, the greater the chance that posts are being placed in this thread that are not related to the ROM development itself, e.g. problems with flashing, installation, bugs, things not working etc. However this is understandable, it's not according to the guidelines of XDA for Development sections. Therefore the main goals of the ROM specific Q&T threads is to avoid this cluttering of the original develpment thread with these OT posts by redirecting the posters to the ROM specific Q&T thread and also to relieve the developer from answering these post, so he can dedicate his time to developing.
Q How to move my post to the Q&A/T thread?
A Copy the text of your post in the dev's thread, got to the Q&A/T thread and paste it there. After having done that, go back to the dev's thread, edit your post and change the text into: moved to Q&A/T thread, preferably accompanied with a link to this thread.
Q When I'm asked to move my post to the Q#A/T thread, do I have to do that?
A When you're asked to move your post, there will always be given an explanation by the OP of the Q&A/T, e.g. your post is not development related (f.i. SD card problems, etc), so please be so kind to move your post. If you want to help the dev to keep his original thread as clean as possible from OT posts, then the answer is, of course, YES. Although we cannot force you to move your post, it's highly recommended to do so
Q Where can I download this ROM and How do I install?
A You can find the link to download and installation instructions HERE. Pay close attention to this post, everything required for a successful flash is listed right here. If you fail to follow the instructions or meet the requirements for installation, you could run into some problems.
Q What are the known issues with these ROM's?
A See THE Developer's thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342045
Q How’s battery life?
A I see this question asked repeatedly across all ROMS. Honestly there is no way to give you an answer based on a ROM. There are too many variables in question and results vary from user to user and device to device. Battery life is going to depend on age and condition of your battery, your use habits with your device, installed apps, tweaks, settings, etc...
Q How do I...
A Ask your questions and report your issues in this thread. You will receive a response and hopefully get you back up and running this ROM to it's fullest
Explaining the purpose of our Q&A/T threads for specific ROM's to posters.
"Hi dear followers of this ROM,
in this post I will explain the goal of this specific thread created for this ROM with the permission of the Developer of this specific ROM.
This is a statement made in the Q&A/T template thread:
"While our forum has slowly been morphing, the one area we would like to keep original is Development
The goal is to alleviate the OT banter that occurs within any rom. While the XDA forum continues to grow, we need to help users work within the guidelines created by XDA. Over the last couple of years the average rom being created, has become a free for all chat thread. There tends to be much infighting and mod/developer cleaning.
The idea of this template is to create a Questions and Answers for each rom. This is in no way asking for Development to be moved here, rather any and all conversation that is non Development related to your conjoined Q&A."
This means that non-development related posts, should be posted - with the permission of the Dev - in this thread. What are the most common Off Topic posts, that should be posted in this Q&A/T thread?
1. Battery life related posts
2. Will this app work with this ROM
3. SD Card related problems
4. How do I dowmload and install this ROM, etc, etc
Hope to have given you enough information,
kindest regards, Kuzibri
Welcome all to the Q&A thread for Kaioken Rom! I will make a FAQ here shortly!

dirty-flashing, etc
1a) With what versions/updates can the ROM be flashed over itself without issues?
1b) Can initial installs be flashed over with the newest version?
2) Does everything still work fine if I uninstall the stock launcher after installing another launcher/ Nova.
I found an issue where after flashing this rom, I flashed over to speedrom 9 and lost all data connectivity, even with apn info filled in... does Kaioken rom change the radio settings??

Did you format all partitions? My Rom doesn't change radio settings. You can't dirty flash to other roms, you'll get problems.

yea no, I always format partitions before flashing roms. Anyhow, it may not be this rom that caused it, but I was curious

If you permanently lost radio settings (no idea how stuff like that can happen), try using the RUU as your last resort.

Disable Fastboot
Hi Afnan, just tried your Kaioken ROM, seems good so far, good work. I was wondering how do I turn of Fastboot as there is no Power option in settings? Is there any other setting menu or have you removed the option?
Thanks
Turning Off WiFi Calling
Hi Afnan, with version 3.0 of your Kaioken ROM, can one disable WiFi Calling altogether? I know you have replied to this before that there is no option to turn it off in AOSP based ROMs, but I thought may be there is some other way. Deleting WiFi Calling apk from /system/app and WiFi Calling Setting via Titanium Backup does not work and it still gives WiFi Calling error on statusbar for those sims which do not support wifi calling.

Hi Gi__an!
I am not too familiar with fast boot to be honest. If you can turn it off in Speed Rom, you most likely won't be able to turn it off here. Sorry if this isn't the answer you wanted.

Hello there unikorn!
Well unfortunately for AOSP - like Sense roms with the aosp settings, it is hard cooked in, with no way to get it out.
I think I do know a way though, you have to use an archiver on your computer, when you downloaded this rom, you must open the rom, go to system/app (open system folder, then app folder). Then copy the Wifi Calling files from a Sense ROM such as ENERGY rom into Kaioken's app folder. I think the files you need to copy are ims-service.apk, WifiCalll.apk, and Wifirouter.apk. They were named something like that.
Sorry if this is a lengthy workaround, I will probably have to make a Wifi calling remover flashable zip for this rom lol.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
That would be awesome indeed. I don't know even if I replace these files, the option would still be enabled as it is enabled by default in Sense ROM if I am not mistaken. But I will give it a try. Till then if a flashable zip comes up, that will make the task easier.
Cheers

Due to many bugs in EC09 and the widely reported SD Card issues, I am now recommending that you flash ED01-series Froyo ROMs or one of the AOSP Gingerbread ROMs (andmer's MIUI or jt's CM7).
Hello community,
Today I bring you TechnoROM. It is a ROM based off of navenedrob's NAMELESS v4.1 with a few tweaks from the forums & irc. Includes Nameless background to pay homage to its roots. It is mostly NAMELESS with tweaks.
This is my first custom ROM, and it, of course, is based off of EC09. THIS IS ALPHA SOFTWARE.
Thanks to...
Navenedrob (for NAMELESS)
Adrynalyne (for his framework)
redeyes (for link to new graphics)
The IRC crew
The whole Community!
Corrupted SD Cards
Here is my viewpoint on the corrupted SD deal. Are the corrupted? Probably not. Mine just "corrupted" itself and is supposedly blank. However, in Clockwork Mod, it sees all my files. Odd? What is even more weird is that a simple reboot seemed to fix my problem. Maybe I'm lucky, maybe its still messed up, but try this first before you panic.
If you flash, backup your SD Card, or don't come whining to me, navenedrob, or any of the developers. Along with all the other bugs in EC09, it doesn't make sense to use this release at the moment. DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Instructions:
Install this(http://www.multiupload.com/8VDE8GX69P) recovery if you have not done so. It is CWM3 OTB from the NAMELESS thread. You will need ODIN.
Download TechnoROM and place it on your SD Card.
Boot to Clockwork Mod (Both volume keys + Power) and select flash zip. Find the package, and flash. This should wipe your data for you.
Reboot. Profit.
Changes
Various Fixs
New Framework from Adynalyne (with over scroll glow)
New graphics drivers from Nexus S
Launcher2 from AOSP Gingerbread
Included Titanium Backup to get you going quicker
Issues
SD Card could be corrupted, formatted, or wiped clean. See SD Card section for more details.
Poor 2D performance (will look into)
Auto-rotate cause event\0 to drain battery (issue with every EC09)
TSM Boot Options Force Close [from NAMELESS]
File Manager Force Close
Videos don't play
Stock browser won't download specific files
I am starting small with a few changes, and I will add as I see fit. I like Launcher2 better than anything at the moment, and that is the main change that you will see. The phone should feel faster though with some of these tweaks. Please report back with results.
NOTE: I am not liable if you brick your phone! However, I will try to help fix it if you do. NAMELESS & Stock EC09 have had issues formatting SD Cards, so back up your SD Card before flashing! Just a precaution. This has only been tested on my phone so far!

Hopefully I don't sound stupid, but, is this just the rom or is everything included such as kernal, modem, ect..? And does this include any of the same bugs and such of that sort from NAMELESS?
Just asking so I know. Thank you for the rom. =]

This includes kernel. For a modem, use one of the EC's or ED's. Check my thread about EC09 for ODIN: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132236. That is the official MODEM for this. Everything else is included in the package in the OP.
As far as bugs, I think I have fixed a few, but some persist like the auto rotate bug. See the OP for the official bug list. It will grow tomorrow as I find more things.

I haven't had an issue, but as this based off of NAMELESS, it suffers that same possiblility. Which recovery did you use and what were you coming from when your as went bad? Have you tried the card in the computer or another device?

I gave everyone credit. I asked navenedrob's permission to use NAMELESS. I gave credit to redeyes for graphics. I gave credit to Adrynalyne for framework. This is to make it easier for people to get all the latest dev from the irc. We were all workibg together on the irc to accomplish this. This is a community, and I am trying to give back for the general betterment of the phone and community. Sorry if that is not how someone perceives it.

I see nothing wrong with what you did at all, and I welcome it (since you gave credit). I don't have time to chill in IRC and apply random fixes. If someone can combine them into one ROM and support it, well then god damnit, I'll support you.
Not everyone is a developer, and not everyone wants or has time to kang stuff themselves. As long as you can positively contribute something to the community as a whole, it should be welcomed.

Easy fix for the for force close....
Found an easy fix for now at least to stop the force closing of the phone options power menu while trying to get into recovery, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132460 and download and flash one of the two files posted by SBRISSEN and it should fix the force closing hope it helps!! and thank you to all the devs out there that put so much of your time into making our phones great thank you soo much!!

HYDRAOSP
This is not my ROM. This ROM is the work of netchip and Paradoxxx and was originally developed for the i9100. I simply toyed around with settings to find a flash-aholics configuration that works.
Pure, Stock, AOSP derived from source code and built specifically for the Galaxy SII. This is not a derivative of CM7, although it uses certain CM7 modules for things like drivers... that are AOSP to begin with. Android 2.3.7.
It's around Sixty Megabytes. It IS Odex'ed, but that makes it extremely fast.
Please READ the original thread before asking any questions. If you DO have questions, post in the i9100 forum if it's a general question about the ROM, and post here if it's a question specific to our device.
Siyah Kernel does not work (extract the latest CM7 kernel and use that if the one Flash-aholicsTool provides isn't to your liking)
ORIGINAL ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1485411
FLASH-AHOLICSTOOL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484223
Directions
Open the ROM file in Flash-aholicsTool
Change the Kernel to "CM7 11-16-2011"
Change the Modem to the CM7/MIUI based KK6 (may be unnecessary but it's what I did)
Hellraise the ROM
Build the ROM
Reboot into Recovery mode
Factory Reset, Wipe Dalvik, Format /system
Flash ROM
Flash GoogleApps package whenever (you can use the CM7 one if you want)
My experience with the ROM:
The fastest ROM I've ever used. The battery life is outstanding. 70% after 11+hours of average usage. It comes with the bare necessities, but the market is there for everything else you want and need. I will most probably stick with this ROM until ICS is stable enough for usage.
When i click on change the modem to k6 modem and then go and build it, it gives me an error saying that the rom will still be built with no changes to the modem
You did get their permission before posting this right?

You shouldn't be starting a thread that literally tells nothing new. The tool has its own thread. You didn't even post a flashable zip and I'm guessing you didn't ask permission of whoever actually created this rom. Wth lol

I hellraised this ROM, and have posted a download link below.
All credit goes to the original developer *Paradoxxx*, Flashaholic' by ktoonsez, and Entropy512's original Hellraiser script.
Here's a link to the original thread HydraAOSP by Paradoxxx
The reason this is here is for anyone clicking on this thread that actually WANTED A DOWNLOAD link for a rom =D I have PM'd Paradoxxx to let him know I'm putting this link here. If requested, it will be taken down, or at the moderator's wishes. This is built with Siyah kernel 2.1.2, no init.d changes or build.prop changes done by me. It will not flash a modem, so whatever modem you have flashed will still be there upon boot of this ROM.
I'm not a developer, nor do I want any credit for anything. Please donate or thank the original developer, and those making this possible. God bless, here's the download link.
Hellraised Hydra AOSP by Paradoxxx
EDIT: I didn't modify the build.prop so coming from a stock ROM (non hellraised) you may have to modify it yourself, or just flash a hellraised rom like ICSCREWED before flashing this to make it work properly.

[SIZE=+1]This a short list of frequently asked questions in this device forum and the answers often given as a response. It should serve as a starting point for gathering knowledge and finding solutions to many common problems. Please only post in this thread with feedback on how to improve this document. Do not post "Thank you" type responses. If you have additional questions or require more help, try to find an existing thread or create your own. Do not use this as a general help thread.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Q1: I get bootloop after installing a custom rom. What is the problem?[/SIZE]
A: Have you done everything correctly?
-Firstly post your problem in the ROM thread as the devs there may help you better.
-Check your mobile compatibility with the ROM
-Check if you have installed the correct kernel for your ROM.
-Check whether you have done the correct wipes as mentioned in the ROM thread.
-Some ROMs require formatting system. So if it is mentioned in main ROM thread then you must do it.
-Some releases may require stock rom first before flashing the custom rom. So flash the stock rom and then the custom rom over it.
If nothing works just download the stock ROM for your mobile and flash it using flashtool. This may solve your problem.
[SIZE=+1]Q2: Can you suggest me the best ROM or kernel or something like that for my smartphone cause i'm really lazy to do a bit of searching...?[/SIZE]

A: If you have locked bootloader you can simply install CWM using an app called x-parts from Google Play and install recovery from it. And if your bootloader is unlocked you can simply flash a custom kernel with CWM or some other recovery present in it.
[SIZE=+1]Q5: How do I port MIUI or HDPI ROM for our Xperias?[/SIZE]
A: Refer to sandy7's awesome guide which will help you the best way possible.
[SIZE=+1]Q6: I have a problem with this ROM and what should I....[/SIZE]
A: It's a ROM specific question, better post it in the ROM thread. They will help you better.
[SIZE=+1]Q7: My phone can't boot in fastboot mode. Please help me!
[/SIZE]
A: Firstly check that fastboot is enabled on your mobile and the correct procedure to go to fastboot mode is by holding vol-up button and connecting to computer via USB.
[SIZE=+1]Q8: WIFI is not working. What should I do?[/SIZE]
A: See if it is listed as a bug in the specific ROM thread. If not try custom kernels and if you can get correct WIFI modules flash them. If you're lucky WIFI will work.
[SIZE=+1]Q9: How do I install custom rom/kernel on my mobile?[/SIZE]
A: Mihahn has worked really hard on making his guide not because he wants some people asking again and again the same questions instead of using a bit of the "SEARCH" feature.
[SIZE=+1]Q10: What is the safest way to root my phone or unlock its bootloader?[/SIZE]
A: There no such thing as safest way. If you do everything correctly you will be successful in rooting you phone and unlocking the bootloader.
[SIZE=+1]Q11: How to activate MSC(mass storage mode) on CM10?[/SIZE]
A: Though this question is of a particular rom but still I've listed it here since many people asked this question. Just go here, thanks the person and perform the steps correctly.
[SIZE=+1]Q12: I did an OTA(Over the Air) update after unlocking bootloader. Now my phone is dead, what should I do?[/SIZE]
A: Just go to this thread, thanks the person. Refer to section 6 and download the unbricking package from no.16 of XX.Downloads section, perform the correct steps and most probably your phone will be back to life!
[SIZE=+1]Q13: Unlocking bootloader using TestPoint method is not working for my device. Please help.[/SIZE]
A: For the newly manufactured phone(above 12w11), TestPoint method will not work. You can still use the official method or se bootloader unlocking tool.
[SIZE=+1]Q14: How do I unlock my bootloader if it says Bootloader Unlock Allowed:No?[/SIZE]
A: No one has actually got a 100% working solution since it is because of your simlock, thus you may have to pay for it. You can try WotanServer or Omnius and if you're lucky it will be unlocked and fastboot might be enabled.
[SIZE=+1]Q15: How do I OC(OverClock) or UC(UnderClock) my phone?[/SIZE]
A: If your kernel supports the function and if your ROM has inbuilt option for the fuction then you can do it directly from ROM or else you can buy/download apps like SetCPU for your phone and can use it easily to OC, UC or change governer of your CPU. *Playing with your CPU is at your own risk and if you go anywhere wrong your phone might not be able to recover(permanent brick). So if you are a newbie(noob) just stay away from these things*
[SIZE=+1]Q16: How much OverClocking is advised for my phone?[/SIZE]
A: Though there are some kernels which provide Over Clocking from 1.6-2 GHz(GigaHertz), but still you should not overclock above 1.2-1.4 GHz for daily use or else your CPU might burn, turning your phone into permanent brick. *I personally do not advise overclocking at all so do everything at your own risk.
[SIZE=+1]Q17: How do I partition my sd-card?[/SIZE]
A: Follow this very nice guide given by sayhellotwoheaven. Don't forget to THANK him.
[SIZE=+1]Q18: How does Thanks Meter affect my profile?[/SIZE]
A: Thanks Meter actually is not useful in becoming Recognized Contributor/Themer/Developer. It is actually the appreciation you get on you works. Thanks Meter has been made so that members of XDA stop posting just THANKS on threads and thread could be clean and helpful.
[SIZE=+1]Q19: How to be a Recognized Contributor/Themer/Developer?[/SIZE]
A: Recognized Contributor is a role intended for members who produce some of the best original and helpful guides for users, as well as helping other users who have problems, in a friendly manner. Recognized Contributors will get a custom user title and the faster ad-free XDA template, as well as access to developer tools currently being created. Any Senior Moderator on XDA can add Recognized Contributors, should you feel deserving of this title.
Recognized Themers are those users who work (often tirelessly) on designing new theme graphics and user interface overhauls for ROMs. Users who aspire to be Recognized Themers should be creating original graphics work for their themes being released, demonstrate a commitment to crediting other users’ work when applicable, and seek the relevant permission in advance from the original creator. Recognized Themers will receive a custom user title and the faster ad-free XDA template, as well as access to developer tools currently being created. Any Senior Moderator on XDA can add Recognized Themers, should you feel deserving of this title.
Recognized Developer, as the name suggest are those who develop really good ROMs, kernels, etc. Anyone who is skillful and publishes his own creation other that just copying and pasting can be termed as recognized developer.
For more details and how to apply for these posts. See this.
[SIZE=+1]Q20: How to add framework mods like skipping track via volume button, small apps, CRT-off animation, etc.?[/SIZE]
A: See this very beautiful guide by Sandy7 and jader13254 which will help you a lot. Just give them THANKS.
[SIZE=+1]Q21: How to Decompile/Recompile ICS apk files?[/SIZE]
A: Here is a great guide by stanlin salu. Just follow that and you can very easily do it. Just don't forget to give him THANKS.
[SIZE=+1]Q22: What are Governors and I/O Schedulers, etc.?[/SIZE]
A: See this very good guide by zhanjia and anyone can know everything about them.
[SIZE=+1]Q23: My ROM doesn't have x-loud and BE(Bravia Engine). How do I install them?
[/SIZE]
A: Simply download a very nice app know as Pimp My Rom from Google Play and install it and you can get many tweaks and options in that. It also has an option to download BE and x-loud for your ROM if it's compatible.
[SIZE=+1]Q24: Does ChainFire support my phone?[/SIZE]
A: The simple answer is download and use it. But if you are on ICS/JB I would recommend you not to use it as it may most probably result in bootloop. ChainFire is compatible only upto GB.
[SIZE=+1]Q25: Why does my phone say Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No?[/SIZE]
A: It's most probably a simlock. The mobile you bought has a simlock of the particular company whose SIM is being used. Normally the companies used to provide the unlocking code after sometime but now I think it won't be provided from now since simlock unlocking has become illegal. But you can break your simlock through WotanServer, Omnius or some local shops.
[SIZE=+1]Q26: Can you tell me how does thanks meter increases with regard to number of thanks?[/SIZE]
A:No. of Thanks and meter:
0-25

There is a bug with meter it doesn;t shows 5 bars. Anyways the thanks meter doesn't judge anyone or status of any member. It's the works, his contributions and help he does.
[SIZE=+1]Q27: Aroma installer is half-size in my phone. How to solve this?[/SIZE]
A: Firstly thanks to abcdjdj for letting me know this. Aroma installer is shown in half-screen in all kernels which have CWM Recovery 6.0. So you can fix it only by changing your kernel or recovery, if you can.
[SIZE=+1]Q28: What are BB Codes and what BB Codes can I use in my thread?[/SIZE]
A: Mainly every kind of text formatting that we do in XDA thread is governed by BB codes. Here is the list of all the BB Codes we can use in XDA and explanation of each code.
[SIZE=+1]Q29: Is there anyway to mount my sd-card using CWM recovery?[/SIZE]
A: Yes! Many versions of CWM support mounting sd-card through it. For that go to Mounts and Storage->Mount sd-card and you're done! But remember if you press back button then your sd-card will unmount instantly.
[SIZE=+1]Q30: How do I add [SOLVED] tag to my thread/how do I change title of my thread?[/SIZE]
A: Just check here and similar way you can also change the title of your thread.
[SIZE=+1]Q31: Can you make a program for all the important links and guides?(I don't know if it belongs to FAQ but it's a good tool)[/SIZE]
A: Yes. mnishamk made a good tool. You can use it for that. Here's the link.
[SIZE=+1]Q32: My phone can't restore the backups I made from recoveries. Why?[/SIZE]
A: Well there could be various reasons for it. It may happen because you might have made backup from CWM and restoring via TWRP or vice-versa. CWM makes the recoveries in the yaffs2 image for while the extension of twrp recoveries are .win.img so backups made in one recovery wouldn't be visible on other.
Another reason could be that you have renamed your backups and they have spaces in them. Remove the spaces and voila! you would be able to restore now!

[SIZE=+1]Q1: I get bootloop after installing a custom rom. What is the problem?[/SIZE]
A: Have you done everything correctly?
-Firstly post your problem in the ROM thread as the devs there may help you better.
-Check your mobile compatibility with the ROM
-Check if you have installed the correct kernel for your ROM.
-Check whether you have done the correct wipes as mentioned in the ROM thread.
-Some ROMs require formatting system. So if it is mentioned in main ROM thread then you must do it.
-Some releases may require stock rom first before flashing the custom rom. So flash the stock rom and then the custom rom over it.
If nothing works just download the stock ROM for your mobile and flash it using flashtool. This may solve your problem.
[SIZE=+1]Q2: Can you suggest me the best ROM or kernel or something like that for my smartphone cause i'm really lazy to do a bit of searching...?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+1]Q26: Aroma installer is half-size in my phone. How to solve this?[/SIZE]
A: Firstly thanks to abcdjdj for letting me know this. Aroma installer is shown in half-screen in all kernels which have CWM Recovery 6.0. So you can fix it only by changing your kernel or recovery, if you can.
[SIZE=+1]Q27: What are BB Codes and what BB Codes can I use in my thread?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+1]Q28: Is there anyway to mount my sd-card using CWM recovery?[/SIZE]
A: Yes! Many versions of CWM support mounting sd-card through it. For that go to Mounts and Storage->Mount sd-card and you're done! But remember if you press back button then your sd-card will unmount instantly.
[SIZE=+1]Q29: How do I add [SOLVED] tag to my thread/how do I change title of my thread?[/SIZE]
A: Just check here and similar way you can also change the title of your thread.
[SIZE=+1]Q30: My phone can't restore the backups I made from recoveries. Why?[/SIZE]
A: Well there could be various reasons for it. It may happen because you might have made backup from CWM and restoring via TWRP or vice-versa. CWM makes the recoveries in the yaffs2 image for while the extension of twrp recoveries are .win.img so backups made in one recovery wouldn't be visible on other.
Another reason could be that you have renamed your backups and they have spaces in them. Remove the spaces and voila! you would be able to restore now!

Hi i would like to ask if anyone has ever used root master for rooting neo v, and mobile uncle tools for flashing cwm.... It would really be hassle free if we could root and install recovery without pc... Tnx
Constant noob probs with roms kernals etc..
Heya, i would dearly like to pimp my Xperia Neo Mt15i but am having constant probs with things screwing up, boot loops etc...
Just wondering if after having a laugh at my latest mess someone could give me a few pointers?
To start my phone has an unlocked bootloader, and half a messed up install of a KK rom/kernal (dark).......... I quite like the look of Xperia Z Jelly Bean v4......so i downloaded all the parts.....it said use the kernal in the zip....but as there wasn't one i got the lupus 720p ..got the rom, gapps and neo patch on the sd card,
Flashed the lupus kernal through flashtool and restated into recovery where I flashed the rest of the bits..... as the phone was basically wiped anyway i didn't wipe the cache, davlik etc...then i tried to start the phone........
It sometimes actually gets into the phone menu (most time just hangs at rom logo) but there it has constant FC's of Xperia home, messaging, contacts and a few others. from there it's impossible to do anything other than to pull the battery and restart.
Recovery has now gone back button works for a second or so (goes blue) then it just tries to boot normally....
So what to do now? cant get into the phone to re-flash a kernal with adb....so only thing to do is flash an old firmware from flashmode? then start all over again?
But if i did i'd then spend the next few hours tearing my hair out with the same or other problems?
I cant post this in the rom forum due to not having privileges..
What am i doing wrong? is there an easier way to reflash a kernal if you cant get into the phone ? why do i bother it's not going to work anyway ?

It is always best to "thank" the development thread OP, instead of posting "Thank you"..
Please keep discussion focused, on the topic described in the OP
FAQ
Q Why a special Q&A/T Thread for a specific ROM??
A The bigger a ROM development thread gets, the greater the chance that posts are being placed in this thread that are not related to the ROM development itself, e.g. problems with flashing, installation, bugs, things not working etc. However this is understandable, it's not according to the guidelines of XDA for Development sections. Therefore the main goals of the ROM specific Q&T threads is to avoid this cluttering of the original develpment thread with these OT posts by redirecting the posters to the ROM specific Q&T thread and also to relieve the developer from answering these post, so he can dedicate his time to developing.
Q How to move my post to the Q&A/T thread?
A Copy the text of your post in the dev's thread, got to the Q&A/T thread and paste it there. After having done that, go back to the dev's thread, edit your post and change the text into: moved to Q&A/T thread, preferably accompanied with a link to this thread.
Q When I'm friendly asked to move my post to the Q#A/T thread, do I have to do that?
A When you're asked to move your post, there will always be given an explanation by the OP of the Q&A/T, e.g. your post is not development related (f.i. SD card problems, etc), so please be so kind to move your post. If you want to help the dev to keep his original thread as clean as possible from OT posts, then the answer is, of course, YES. Although we cannot force you to move your post, it's highly recommended to do so
Q Where can I download this ROM and How do I install?
A You can find the link to download and installation instructions HERE. Pay close attention to this post, everything required for a successful flash is listed right here. If you fail to follow the instructions or meet the requirements for installation, you could run into some problems.
Q What are the known issues with these ROM's?
A See the Developer's thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524691
Q How’s battery life?
A I see this question asked repeatedly across all ROMS. Honestly there is no way to give you an answer based on a ROM. There are too many variables in question and results vary from user to user and device to device. Battery life is going to depend on age and condition of your battery, your use habits with your device, installed apps, tweaks, settings, etc...
Q How do I...
A Ask your questions and report your issues in this thread. You will receive a response and hopefully get you back up and running this ROM to it's fullest
kindest regards, Kuzibri

@jeepers007 will you update the kernel to sportsstar89's ION 3.0.101 kernel to fix black boxes issues? TIA
The thing is that the battery is draining too fast. please focus one updateon that maybe... just a request. awesome Rom otherwise
jeepers007 said:
For those interested in trying out a test build- go to EV Updater, and look under the TESTING tab, you will see a test release from today.
Still experimenting with the camera wrapper. I included this again from the Team Hydra repo.
There have been minor framework and other code updates.

it's not because black boxes are still present.
I just installed the latest test build
camera works fine but camcorder is broken, it won't record either for HD 1080p or 720p or SD 480p. logcat for camcorder

No, it's the same kernel which is in the previous built.
For you folks looking for a working camera/camcorder for this ROM see my thread in the Themes Apps forum. The older versions of the Famigo gapps (versions 7.1-8.0) install the photosphere camera and libs on any AOSP based (non-HTC-sense) JB-4.3 or KK-4.4 device. I tried that camera on this ROM and found it took excellent photos up to 8mpx and the camcorder worked up to 720p. Selecting any higher resolution caused lockups. I tried getting photoshere to work, but had issues with this ROM, but worked in the older JB version and on PACman ROM.
The links are in my thread, and be sure to thank the dev dotmaniac, for his work.
Ciao

The battery drain is the biggest problem I have with this rom.
Hello,
I'm having trouble getting Gapps to show up. I downloaded it through Settings>Evervolv>Updates>Gapps>kk44-20131126-core.zip and I installed it via CWM 5.0.2.0.
I installed it without wiping the data and cache, I installed it with wiping the data and cache, I installed it by rebooting into recovery and installing from zip.
My phone says I'm running Andriod 4.4, Kernel Version 2.6.38.8-evervolv-02122...., Mod version ev_bravo-4.0.0p2--turba, Build number ev_bravo-eng 4.4KRT16S....
The last rom I installed was on a HTC touch diamond (with a cool Hitman theme, hahaha) and that was a long time ago, so I apologize in advance if I'm missing something obvious.
Thanks for your help and thanks for your work on these ROMs.
Jay
@jaylamar try updating your recovery to 4ext: http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk
CWM 5.0.2.0 is too old lol

There may be new gapps available, but as of today there is no newly updated version of this ROM since early Feb, and more importantly, still no ION support. In a post a page back @jeepers007 mentioned that sportsstar89's CM ION kernel doesn't work on this ROM and that he was working with another Evervolv dev who is trying to get a 3.4 ION kernel working instead.
Edit: It appears that TonyStark (Mods) moved this post and the one above that I quoted from their original location in the dev thread, so now it appears to make no sense, because there is no post from jeepers007 a page back from here. I wish the mods would have just deleted this post instead of moving it and making me look foolish for referring to a post which is nonexistent on this thread. The post I was originally referring to is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50044108&postcount=268
