Hi,
I just flash ARHD 4.1.6 w/ Bricked v1.5 and everything is working great. I just have a few questions I hope could be answered.
1) I would like to put the advanced power menu and CRT animation mod on the phone. Are either of these able to be flashed with the 4.1.6 ROM? The second post in the ARHD thread says they are for 3.6 only.
2) I had a bunch of apps installed to my SD and now they no longer appear in the app menu (I still see their data on the SD Card). Does this happen on every rom flash, or just when I use Super Wipe.
3) Is there a way to reinstall the apps which are already on my SD Card?
4) I made a nandriod backup with CWM a long time ago to use as a fall back. The ARHD installation put ext4 on my phone in its place. Am I able to use the CWM backup with ext4 should I need to?
Thanks for your help!
1. There should bee a section off add ons for 4.x ROMs
2. Why are they on the SD card?
3. Reinstall from the Market
4. Doesn't matter, it'll work regardless

Hi,
In answer to your questions:
1) Here is the thread for the CRT animation:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18478212&postcount=25006
Here is the one for the APM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18411950&postcount=24612
2) Flashing superwipe erase all user data, if you didn't do a Titanium backup, you will need to install them again from the market.
3) I don't think there is a way to reinstall without Titanium.
4) Yes, you should be able to restore the CWM backup with ext4, I have done it and it works fine.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!!
Flashed both and they work great.
I read about the titainium backup in the newb guides and totally forgot about it. Silly beginers mistake.
Thanks I'm looking for this one too
I recently installed WCX Illuminati [3.5 Sense Based on 1.22.461.2 (Quicksall Rcmix kernel v12 )overclocked to 1536 by default.].
While the ROM is not advertised to be (as far as I can tell) an EXT4 ROM, I noticed during the install the system was formatted as EXT4.
I'll like to experiment with some other ROMs that are EXT3. Do I have to go through any special steps to go back to an EXT3 ROM after running an EXT4 ROM, I can I just flash the new ROM though CM Recovery?
Thanks.

There are no steps for that, just flash the new Rom. But make sure to flash CWM recovery first as the illuminati Rom uses stock recovery. Go to Rom manager and flash recovery. Once you have done that flash the Rom you want.

I was wondering this myself also. But I want to ask a little deeper question.
Say I have 2 ROMS. One that is ext3 and the other that is ext4. Each one formats the system appropriately when installed fresh. But say I have a NAND backup of the ext3 ROM on my card and I have the ext4 ROM installed on the phone at the present. Can I restore the ext3 ROM without doing anything other than the normal wiping using clockwork? Or would I have to reinstall the ext3 ROM fresh to get the proper format and then restore the backup?
And would it be the same going the other direction too?

I guess but not sure that when you do a wipe to install a new Rom your partitions are formatted and ifvyo don't use an ext4 Rom then you will have just ext3.

I'm not sure how ClockworkMod handles this but I've been using 4EXT Recovery for a few months and it will automatically determine which format the ROM you're flashing uses and convert if necessary. Works for both fresh ROM flashes or backups.
I've been running ARHD and wanted to pull something off of the stock ROM backup I had. When I restored the stock nandroid, 4EXT formatted the existing ext4 partitions to ext3 and restored the backup. Then when I restored ARHD it automatically switched 'em back to ext4.
Thanks for the responses guys. Still looking for someone to answer positively on this last question. I don't want to be the someone asking about how to get my phone to boot when it is stuck on the white screen. lol.

i'm with the other guy, i use 4EXT. but when making a backup it says "writing ext4 data" (or something along those lines) for each partition that uses ext4. it does the same for ext3.
i would be inclined to believe that CWM does the same thing and changes the file system accordingly. one way to check if it records the file system type would be to look at the tar files. go to sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/whatever-you-named-your-backup that folder should contain, at a minimum, the following files: system.xxxx.tar, data.xxxx.tar, boot.img, and an md5 file. the xxxx should be the file system that particular backup uses.
EDIT: that is assuming that CWM uses tar backups and not yaffs2. not sure how those backups are structured. either way the filesystem should still get recorded some how.
i think you'd be fine just restoring. there would have been massive amounts of new threads popping up saying "OMGIDIDARESTOREANDMYPHONEISFUX0RED!!!!" if anyone had any problems once ext4 showed its face. know what i mean?
as an alternative. why not just flash 4EXT Recovery? since you KNOW it does what you're asking? kinda takes the guess work out... lol
Hi guys, first post from me. I wish i could post this in the proper thread, but since i am new i am not allowed, so excuse me for the inconvenience.
I want to use custom roms to enhance my phone, i've been reading up in this forum and some video's on youtube. I've already rooted my phone before, so that part is out of the way.
Now here is my phone setup:
- Samsung Galaxy S Plus
fw= 2.3.5
baseband= I9001BOKP1
kernel= [email protected]#1
build= GINGERBREAD.BOK4
carrier= T-Mobile
- External SD Card, 486 MB
I just used the SD Card from my old Samsung phone (G-600)
The thing is, i have used Apps2SD to set apps to my SD card (the external one)
1.A: So if i am going to backup will that also be stored back to my SD after i format it?
1.B: Or is external SD card formatting not required for a fresh clean install?
The ROM i want to use is Cranium RC9
As i understand this ROM comes with a kernel as well, so..
2: should i do anything kernel related? (since it's my first time to install a ROM and all)
And finally..
3: What is the correct method for a 1st time/clean ROM installation?
If i look at the 1st post of the Cranium ROM thread, then i see install methods if you already have RC8. And the other method is for installing RC4. Please don't tell me i have to go through all the RC's to get to RC9 o_0
Thanks for at least reading this and hopefully some one can help me further on this
1.A When you backup, choose internal SD since backup has about 1GB of size if you have lots of apps. Go to feamod recovery 1.4, backup and restore then backup to internal sd card. When you finish ROM flashing restore your apps only in advanced restore.
1.B I don't think you have to format external sd, anyway you can back it up too.
2. I don't think so. The rom comes with a kernel..
3. For fresh ROM installation, Format system, data, and cache. You can also wipe dalvik cache. Then flash using ODIN or CWM, depending on the file. Reboot system and you can restore data only after going to cwm again.
You can also read fabsau's starter guide in our forum(i9001)..
In my opinion, try broodROM, comes with skyhigh kernel, ICS theme, beats audio, smoother scrolling and more..

Hi All,
I had rooted my phone a long time back and to clear up some memory i factory reset it. Now i am stuck on the white screen with htc logo . Please tell me what to to . I have no backups as well , as i ended up formatting my memory card while trying to create a partition on it.

Thanks , your answer solved my problem
Now i plan to install the JaggyRom 4.0.3 on my HTC Explorer. Do you think its a good idea ?
I only have a 2GB SD Card , is there any requirement that i have to convert at least 1GB to ext partition before installing the ROM.
Any other things which you would suggest i take care of before proceeding ?
Thanks a lot
Give link to rom which you wan't to install.
Especially Jaggy 4.0.3 was GB with sense 3.5 I THINK, so you don't need 1gb ext, even 512 will do. If it's ICS with sense 4 you need 1gb ext.
My advice: Don't worry if first time it stucks on white htc screen, if this happens, just try wiping everything again and flash again.
And another thing you can download this http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?lim1od8qrjdbblp you flash it before you flash the rom, it wipes everything by it self, I'm not sure how it works with sense 4, but for every athor rom it's fine.
Hi,
sorry not allowed to post the links yet.
androidforums[dot]com/explorer-all-things-root/656605-rom-sense-jaggyrom-4-0-3-12-10-12-a[dot]
please edit the link
I think i shall try this one now, and once i get the knack of it , i'll buy myself a bigger memory card and try ICS
Please let me know if i should go forward with it.
Thanks for the help .
Uff ya, forgot about links restriction, with this one you don't need more than 512mb of ext. Just don't forget to flash 'wi-fi fix' after install and follow the instructions.
With this one you also can use the 'superwipe.zip' that I've posted in the previous post, instead of wiping everything manually, whichever suits you best.
Also if you wan't you can check out cm9, it's ICS and its stable, for it you don't need 1gb ext partition. Well that's it, have fun

Thanks ,
i'll try the JaggyRom and tell you how it goes.
If you want to keep your Rom pure stock then flash the one by immortal_yash with ext support. It's smoother then jaggyrom 4.0.3 for me or you can flash cm9.1 build 14 . It's your choice so try and use the one which is best for you...

Hi,
I have installed the JaggyRom 4.0.3 as of now (will try ICS, next after a while) . What i wanted to know if what next can i do with my phone?
I had created a ext4 partition , but can't see it now. Should i install link2SD ?
Also can i overclock my mobile (rather should i do it ? ) and also can the internal memory be used as RAM
Sorry the questions are pretty novice but then i am one
Thanks for all the help.
Hi,
I have installed the ROM , it worked fine for a while , now it keeps restarting every few minutes ..
I have no clue what to do

1. Make ext3 partition
2. Do not overclock... you can /rather will cause permanent damage
3.you don't need to use internal memory as ram ~if you do, it may reduce life of SD card

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
What i observed was that the phone started restarting after i had run the following command (to enable ext4 to be used as part of internal memory):
Code:
su
m2sd rmount enable
so i again ran
Code:
su
m2sd rmount disable
after which it stopped restarting. Any pointers what could be the reason for this ? I have a 2GB card, not sure which class , but since it came with the phone i believe it should be class 2 or class 4
Type in terminal emulatur 'm2sd status'
It will show what is enabled, answers will come.
And did you used superwipe.zip, or manually wiped everything. And normally it's better ext partition to be ext2 or ext3.

Well have you removed the sd card while the phone was on?.....If thats the case then you may have to reflash the rom....
Also download roms from xda itself because it is posted by the original devs themselves and you get better support.
Consider using jaggy 4.1 by me....

Okies , i'll try jaggy 4.1 ,
but are there any limitations of the memory card that i have to take care of ?
And will i loose the data again ?
Thanks.
Edit : Not sure if its releavant, but i can't connect to the memory card by using the "Disk Mode" from the mobile.
Can someone shed some light on the differences between JaggyRom and cm ??
