Hi everyone, first post here. Looked around and haven't found an answer to this yet. Phone is EVO 4G
Have flashed this rom multiple times and the rom itself functions well with little to no lag. The problems arise if I do anything in recovery. Tried flashing a kernel (goldenmonkey) and wound up with endless force closes. Did a nandroid restore to a state just before I had flashed the kernel and the force closes continued. Shouldn't the restore have returned everything to the previous state with the stock kernel as that was what I had installed with the rom? That's what always happens with the other rom I have saved on my SD card.
Just a few minutes ago, I reflashed the kingedshooter rom, installed apps, etc. Was planning on trying another kernel, but forgot to put the zip on my SD card. Anyway, I did a nandroid backup (with everything working fine) and as soon as I rebooted the phone, I could not access the settings and the power control widget I had loaded on one of my home screens was gone. I couldn't make phone calls, and would get a force close if I tried to access any settings. Tried to restore to my most recent backup where once again everything was working perfectly and am still having the issues I just described. Anyone know what's going on? Thanks.
Anyone that reads this, please disregard the above. Made a nandroid after installing a theme and kept trying to go back to that. Thanks.
yes I did search but I couldn't come up with anything. I haven't had an aosp rom since my OG droid so bear with me. Last night I rooted my tf with the "one click" method. worked awesome. I put on Revolver to see how it was and all my apps restored after i signed into google.
But..I didn't like how sluggish the rom was at all, even overclocked it seemed jittery to me. So this morning I threw on megatrons newest rom. When i booted up, there was no google sign in and wifi wasn't working..ok the the wifi was expected. Rebooted into recovery threw on the kernel for it, rebooted and had wifi. I could sign into my google account under accounts/sync, but my apps didn't restore. So...I downloaded the gapps zip, threw that on there hoping maybe that was the issue, apps still didn't restore. So now I'm bummin because I had quite a few apps on there and I'm not sure if this is an aosp problem or a DA problem(me), or did I miss something somewhere? Now correct me if I'm wrong but being that my account is linked to this next time I flash a rom that would restore apps, none of my apps I had before will restore because my account sees me as having like 3 apps currently.
EDIT!: SOLVED! The issue was as simple as gettin an updated RSD Lite, i was trying to use 5.6 and 5.7 but i eventually found a link for 6.0 and once using that, boom the stock firmware flashed no problem, took like 8 minutes and it's fresh baked stock!
Edit: Sorry, further searching helped me find what I believe will solve this "brick" situation
Second Edit: The method I had intended on using was the RSD Lite method...problem is I cannot get a good stock firmware xml...on the site I found that had two stock files for the Ultra are not working for me. One file fails and the other cannot manage to get extracted from the zip so I tried extracting just the xml file alone and it doesn't even begin to try and install. So now I am sort of at a stalemate because there is a working method to unbrick but the files arent working...if someone could provide a working link of tested and working stock firmware that would be great, or if there is another method of retaining stock...or any OS back on my phone that would be the TITS
So, I was integrating system app updates using Titanium Back-up, when doing it to Touchless Control it got stuck, froze had to "battery pull" and when I rebooted a slew of Force Closes from Keyboard, G+ and Touchless control...I fixed this by freezing these apps using TiBu (very tedious doing so between FC's haha) and then deleting and reinstalling them...the unfortunate part is now I've lost Home key function completely as well as my Quick Tiles...any idea what I can do to either restore the stock system rom OR just some how make my home key work and my Quick Tiles reappear.
Okay so I tried to copy over the build prop from the system dump of our Ultra and I'm not sure why but when i rebooted the phone will now no longer boot past the splash screen...I can boot into fastboot mode but i can now no longer get into the OS and that's making me think I may be bricked.

Hi there! I have a Stock kitkat d80020y, made root with stumproot but without custom recovery, it's running stock right now.
First of all let me tell that I have in my computer nandroid backup of it (TWRP & CWM) made with OnlineNandroid and one LGBackup made with system restore menu.
Here's the trouble:
I am about to sell my phone so i was backing up some stuff yesterday when i realized it was not syncing contacts with google, after researching a bit I deleted the "com.android.providers.settings" folder which it was situated into "data\data" and rebooted device.
Then, sync problems gone but some another problems came up, couldn't get into some settings just as language, swipe down settings didn't work neither, home button didn't work at all, etc; when tried to use that things, phone just did nothing or stayed one second and got back to home screen. Read something that factory reset would definitely solve my issue, well it did solved it at a glance, home button was functional again but, things like language submenus were still not working.
So then, I try to install an LG Backup using the system app, could restore settings and appeared to be solved, but after another factory reset, remember I'm about to sell it, the whole issues came up again.
As I have nandroid backup I've recently checked the clockworkmod folder and find the deleted folder.
Considering that i could manage to get that LGBackup installed again, could it be possible to paste "com.android.providers.settings" back into "\data\data" folder then?
Should that be the definitely fix? Or I'll have to reflash all nandroid even though I don't wanna take that risk because is just those problems, apparently related to that specific deleted folder, the other things of the phone are intact and work great.
In case of need reflashing, could you tell me about any easy tutorial on how to do it, including custom recovery installation for my stumprooted device?
I don't actually know how to ADB any android device, if you could also help me with the right tutorial and drivers for this phone so i have everything ready just in case of needing CMD to fix this device it would be great.
Hope I get some answers soon so i can quickly fix the device, any ideas are welcomed and will be utterly appreciated.
Sorry for the long text but i wanted to be as clear as i could.
Regards!

Finally solved flashing stock again with a guide on htcmania forum, this guide is really great for spanish speaking guys like me and many others,(xda doesn't allow me put the link); theres also an english guide here on xda.
I used autorec to install recovery just in case you wanna know
See you!
Hello everyone.
Please help me if you can.
I decided to do a factory reset after I was having some weird problems with my galaxy S4 like volume goes up and down without control.
Now I have some applications that I can not download(or even see) at play store since they became "incompatible".
My question is if it's because I'm using a costume rom and if I restore my phone to it's original rom, should it help?
And if so, how to do it?
For the moment, I installed "clach of clans" from apk file and so far it's working. My concern is that when an update will come out, I won't be able to download it.
I attach a photo of my phone settings:
