I little while ago I flashed the BAMF-GingerREMIX-v2.0-Beta6 with the Darkhorse theme but it's been like a month or two since I did that and I was curious if there is an update to this ROM because I didn't see anything in the development forums on Thunderbolt and I expected to see a number of the latest BAMF updates but I see a CM7 and a bunch of others that I never seen before. Anyone point me to the right link or know anything about this? thanks!

They have their own site/forum and updates there. Don't have a link, but google for bamf forum or something like that and it should turn up.
I found the site and forums about their ROMS but nothing speaks anywhere that I could see to weather specific roms will work with the thunderbolt or not where as in these forums I know they are meant to work on the Thunderbolt. I just don't want to DL a rom from there and find out, oh CRAP this was meant for an Atrix, not a Thunderbotl and now I've bricked my phone!

If you are in the thunderbolt/roms section then they are for thunderbolt, the only other roms are for the incredible. They are working on a DX2 Rom but they don't have a section for it yet.
Hi all,
I am looking to root my HP Touchpad but am a bit overwhelmed by the options available and cautious about the bugs mentioned in various roms.
I have a Nook Tablet rooted to the newly released CM7 so I am familiar with the process but there seem to be alot more options to take with the Touchpad.
Firstly, what should I root to? I am reading it is CM9 rather than CM7. Then some people are crooning about ICS which I have never tried. I also see that when people root it seems to be dual boot method rather than just one...is that mandatory?
Could anyone point me to the thread or a nice guide for rooting to CM9? I see one with CM9 and cornerstone...is this the one everyone is using or a variation of it?
cyanogen mod comes prerooted.
i believe you mean which rom to Flash.
and in regards to your question, i actually have no problems with CM9 atm. It's pretty nice.
if you want a "how to install android on your touchpad", go to rootzwiki and follow the instructions in the cm9 alpha 2 thread.
EDIT: yes, dual booting is mandatory for now afaik. It's a safety mechanism in case something happens. you can atleast revert back to webos and start from scratch then.

Thanks that's exactly what I was looking for.
Ty all for responses.
If I am reading this right, I have to install CM7 first then upgrade to CM9. Is there a marked difference between 7 & 9? I am used to 7 from the Nook Tablet but if CM9 is better for the HP I will get it.
No you do NOT have to install CM7 before installing CM9.
And yes, there is a HUGE difference between the two. CM7 is Gingerbread, originally made for phones (and the occasional tablet - but highly tweaked in those tablet versions). CM9 is a tablet OS that can be tweaked to work with phones.
I highly recommend reading the thread in my first reply, on RootzWiki, which explains what you need to get and download and do in order to install CM9. Or, as I said, PM me, and I'll walk you through it.

Can you direct me to that thread? Not sure what you mean by thread in your first reply.
I need a guide that is using the new CM9. I am using this page which was linked to me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23740765But looking at this page all tuorials seem to be Cm7 or something else. Maybe it's there but I am not seeing it.
For example, is this CM9? http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10121-releasealpha35cyanogenmod-touchpad/ Or is this something else? It just says CM Touchpad.

Okay, first off. Your second link is not CM9, it's CM7. You can tell by reading it. At the bottom, the author discusses CM7. I think the current official release of CM9 is Alpha2. Check here. There's a link in that article, but you'll have to read it. Here is the link to CM9. Alpha3.5 was CM7 from November of last year. CM9 Alpha2 is from February of this year.
To find the CM9 link is pretty easy. Look near the top of the link you posted, almost in the (top) center of the page, there's a link that says 'CyanogenMod[Touchpad]'. That's the link to the 'parent forum'. By clicking that link you'll find the posts in that forum. If you look at the light grey in each post, there are dates there. CM9 Alpha2 is currently the most recent official version, so logically, it's the post with the most recent date.
And like I said, if you look on Youtube for a 'Reverend Kyle', he explains everything you need to know in very simple terms. His videos are very easy to follow, and you can even do it without reading the full RootzWiki page. You can probably even find a direct link to the files on his youtube videos, so you won't even have to use google.
The install procedures for CM9 and CM7 are exactly the same. They use different files, but the process is the exact same.

Thanks for clearing these things up for me.
I suspected the install procesdures were identical, but wasn't 100% sure and knowing me that's where i'd mess it up - leaving out something v. important.
I see on the CM9 link there are links to Reverends video guides, so I am gonna start watching his channel and take it from there.

His vids are very explanatory. He's also got his own forum and an Android app that both might also be useful.
Plus he's a SUPER-nice guy. He'll answer any questions you have if you post in his forum or as a comment to one of his youtube vids. Although, his forum would probably be faster.

Success! I did it using the videos and it went off without a hitch. He breaks it down so well. Some things I even had to skip past because he was explaining them in such length - which is no bad thing.
Anyways, thank you steering me in the right direction.

Hello I'm a newb!
I'm sorry, but this is the unfortunate state I find myself in.
When I first found this site, what I was expecting to find was a ICS for my phone. I could not have guessed what I would learn here. I had no idea I had a counter in my phone to worry about when installing open sourced roms? Next after much more reading I am to learn the source code Google releases is not complete, and uses binary drivers? Now I am to learn about CIQ, and my phone is spying on me? Wow!
Before I say anything else I want to express my thanks to this community. This has been such a resource I had no idea that it would be when I started. Thank you!
Now on to my question that after learning about all of that I don't seem to have a clear answer to. What I wanted when I first considered getting an Android phone, was to build from source, and run my own rom. I still want this, even more so since I learned about CIQ.
1. Due to the counter on my phone
2. I am to understand multiple images that make the phone work (boot, firmware, system)
3. The binary drivers.
Is this at all a reasonable goal?
Are there more flash images that I haven't read about yet?
Would having a direct from Google rom even be desirable?
I own a stock SGH-I777, I have done nothing to it yet.
Lastly about this site:
Is there anything you think I should read about on the forums?
Any language I should know, as in what does hellraiser imply/mean?
Any Android experience you think might benefit a could be developer?
Counter can be reset and avoided all together.
Sorry I don't know much about AOSP building, but your better off starting with compiling CM and learn from there unless you are really experienced in coding.
Speaking of, the image used to not increment the counter does, or does not still contain CIQ? I suspect it does? I would like a phone at some point w/o CIQ, and fully open source. Ty for reminding me.

Ok, so I rooted my first cell phone. It would seem heimdall latest has a bug that will brick your phone. (I'm on Mac OS Lion) I used the 1.3.1 instead, and it worked fine.
I saw many more sites, and this was quite easy. The way they showed it was very complex. Since I'm new at this should I wait to try out a ICS rom till after Samsung releases their source code, and the devs have had a chance to get it stable? How complete is the open source version of ICS? There was a note on the fsf.org page that linked me over here that some of the parts were still binary. Is it still true?
I think long term I want to get away from the official releases.
Well, you came this far, might as well flash an ICS rom now. If the leaks are any indication of status, the Samsung release will be pretty stable but the included kernel is problematic because it can cause hardbricking. Besides, you want to get away from stock, and all of the big roms released thus far are pretty darn stable; I don't know anything about binary parts or any of the coding, but plenty of people have no problem running CM or AOKP. Even the Samsung-based roms all look AOSP-like nowadays because they use Apex or Nova (not many devs like Touchwiz anymore). So take your pick, they're all good roms and most look like AOSP to some extent, with a few (mainly CM and AOKP) striving for pure AOSP.
Make sure to read and follow this guide carefully for flashing stuff, and have fun!
Ok here is where I have a problem. I have no idea about half of what you said? I know AOSP means "Android open source project" by inference of another reply. I even think CWM means "clockwork mod." (don't even know what this is yet) Saw a youtube video that mentioned it.
What is hard bricking, and what should I read to prevent it? I came here for a ICS rom, and it sounds like the two trying to be most open source are my preference.

Prother, by no mean to offense you, but seriously, if you don't know those fundamental technical terms, I strongly suggest you to hold off what you about to do and spend more time reading.
Let me go off and do a search the post for you, where you can get used to those terms.
Hang tight, prother.

So I will. To be honest I don't see the connection between the new jargon, and development I learn in school. There is definately much to learn here. I was expecting this to be like Zaurus development from back when I was active, it's very clear to me that this is a very different beast.
Here is one, I'm sure there is other thread.

Thank you friend. I may not have my own rom at the end of summer, but I should be on my way to understanding what would be needed for one.
Well the terms I wanted are not present on that list, most of that I was familiar with. To be honest, some of it I have not seen before as well. What is hellraiser, and some of the other xda developed jargon? I do have a tab open to that part of the forums, I just hadn't made it over there yet. I started on the forums for my device, then Android OS, and lastly general. Is there any other place I should pay special attention to that would help me?

Ok? I'm not sure I understand, is there something you don't like about the aokp rom that doesn't work very well?
I want off of the carrier provided images based on personal conviction. Google's development practices smack of cathedral, as do all of the 3rd party companies. In a sense they are abusing the spirit of free software by using a signed kernel to impede (if not actually prevent) our right to modify hardware we own. Any normal user of the software provided by the community (bazaar) can only help the cause.
I plan to share what I personally learn with close friends who live in my area. The more people we liberate, the better for everyone else. I simply applaud the work done here.
You can safely ignore Phalanx's post, he's just mocking you and other new users for not reading carefully and being stupid. You're at least trying to read and understand stuff, so I don't see any reason you should be put down the way he's doing so.
Here are a couple other links I think you'll find useful (please click my thanks button if you agree!):
ROM vs Kernel
Odex vs Deodex
Make sure to read all of the links posted in the sticky at the top of this forum, too. But note that by no means is this everything you need to read.
Mind you, all this reading is meant mostly for end-users, so that we learn how to safely and smartly modify our phones. Actual original developing beyond using what's already provided by the devs is a whole different story, and I'm sure there's even more to read up on that.
Good luck, happy flashing, and if you plan to develop later down the line, good luck with that too!

Ty for all your help. I'm glad you're all so thorough, it was like peeling an onion. The more I was looking at rooting my phone, the more there was to learn. All of you have done an amazing job making this approachable to a brand new user.
Ah I don't assume anymore about what people are trying to say, not everyone is a native english speaker. So I try to be understanding.
Yup I'll be at this for a while, I'm happy to have made some introductions, and maybe some time down the road I can even hope to contribute in some small way.
From a relative noob:
Follow the directions in the " [GUIDE] How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash Counter!! " thread. Then pick a rom you want to try and follow the CWM directions ... after that , find a ROM you like. If you don't want to void your warranty, wait for your carrier to provide the closest thing to what you want ... but, I'm happy with my flashed ICS ROM.

Just like everyone else has said. Read read read. Search for answers for your questions before you ask on forums. U will be fine as long as u can read and follow simple directions. Good luck to u. If u haven't flashed a rom yet I would recommend aokp. Awesome rom.

Hey, everyone-- (not 10-posted yet, so I'm not allowed into the big-kid's end of the pool, aka Development)
Has anyone found that the flashable invert-revert for NeoMax ROMs is no longer working?
While I love the other features of the rom, I prefer the readability of the black-text-on-white Gapps... and as of the last couple versions, it doesn't seem to be working anymore.
Can anyone confirm this and/or suggest an alternative approach?
Thanks!

Thanks, pr, for checking on that for me. I wasn't able to make it back here to answer your earlier question, but it looks like the fix has already occurred.
Thanks also to localceleb - I figured there was probably a manual way to do it, but didn't quite have the time to research that out on the forum here and do it properly. As a semi-noob, I try to break with the norm and actually read to find the answer first... that takes time!
Plus, I figured if 'Neo was particular enough to put a patch out there, it'd be a good idea to point out that it might need a refresh.

I will edit my original post here cause I was a bit of an A-hole. this was you first post and I didn't want your first impression to be as nobody here wants to help. of course if you had already read the previous, than I am too late and can only apologize.
a few spoken rules in one of the threads for newbies here.
1. run a search, maybe the question has already been asked before
2. read, read, read
3. help yourself first, as nobody is going to do the work for you.
there are thousands of people that are more than willing to help here, but you should be mindful of repeating questions as some folks can get irritated. it is usually someone that asks a specific question about an issue that was just addressed 2 post up or on the previous page.
making a personal request for an immediate feature that may have just been announce can also annoy some developers. some to the point where they have stopped developing.
good luck and remember to read

Thanks, I didn't read until after the edit, however from browsing around here I was worried I would just be told to shut the **** up etc...
I have tried looking all over the place for info on a 4.4 rom and if people are working on one for the i717. So far I can't find anything. I was just wondering if anyone knew if the phone would be getting a ROM or left behind.
Our latest official release was 4.1.2.
As you can see, we now have ROMs on 4.2.2, 4.3 and 4.3.1. I have not seen any devs "promise" a 4.4 rom, and I don't expect them to.
But, the 4.4 source just dropped few days ago, and I am pretty sure that they are looking at it, at the very least. If history is any indication, I would say we are going to get 4.4 roms eventually. Developing a rom is hard work, so please just wait.
Asking for an ETA might be irritating for devs, if you are not contributing to the development. And if you are contributing to the development, you should already know the answer to the question.

Sorry, I don't mean to annoy anyone. I only came here because no other place had info and was told to go to XDA. I am not trying to rush anyone and I know these things are a ton of work. Like I said I was only wondering if people thought at some point 4.4 would come to the i717 not plz give me rom now.

Jamie has gotten CM11 to fully build for the i717 but he hasn't completely debugged it yet.....I would think he will be posting it soon.

And?
He posted the preview in General. I haven't been able to flash it personally because I use TWRP (and only CWM works at this point) but you're welcome to check it out. Flashed CWM Recover to try. P3 ran well, although obviously a bit buggy. P4 is out now with less bugs--both ran smoothly...well enough that I'm happy using it as a daily driver.

Yes, relative to ASOP/CM, the ones that I am aware of: JamieD81 is already working a version of CM11 plus his stand-alone Uber kernel and I believe that you will see Liquidsmooth (Patch_Adams) and Hellybean (ThdDude) come up with their versions.If you have not yet tried them, they all have excellent 4.3.1 kernel & Jellybean builds.
4.3.1 MHL Support

Our latest official release was 4.1.2.
As you can see, we now have ROMs on 4.2.2, 4.3 and 4.3.1. I have not seen any devs "promise" a 4.4 rom, and I don't expect them to.
But, the 4.4 source just dropped few days ago, and I am pretty sure that they are looking at it, at the very least. If history is any indication, I would say we are going to get 4.4 roms eventually. Developing a rom is hard work, so please just wait.
Asking for an ETA might be irritating for devs, if you are not contributing to the development. And if you are contributing to the development, you should already know the answer to the question.

I would be happy with 4.3 if MHL works to use Chromecast features.
Would love to recycle older devices and connect to TV or Projector permanently.
