[ROM] DI14 Pick-n-Pack 0.2 ROM

DI14_pick-n-pack_0.2 ROM for the Samsung Mesmerize
I have reworked this ROM to make it a little easier to work with. In the 0.2 version, you will be able to flash the main package without any need to add files like in the 0.1 version. As for the removed apk files, they are now flashable either individually or in packs depending on what they are. I felt this would be an easier way to still get what you want but not having to put things together before flashing.
I still recommend that you take a backup before you flash anything. I am not responsible for any damage you do to your phone while flashing any or all parts of this ROM. I also recommend that you download both the ROM and Addons at the same time so that you do not have to wait for a second download after you have already flashed the ROM.
Also, to be clear since there has been confusion, MMS is 100% functional in this ROM because it uses stock MMS, not AOSP.

Download the ROM and Addons. Unzip the Addons and decide which packs you want to flash. Put the ROM and individual Addons on your sdcard and boot into recovery. Flash the ROM first. Then you can flash the Addons individually. When you are done, reboot. If the phone hangs at the boot animation for more than 5 minutes, pull the battery, do three button to get back to recovery and do a data wipe/factory reset. Reboot and things should be fine.

I don't see why not.

Awesome! I'm reading up some more on how to flash these roms in and I plan on using this one. I'm new to this and just learning.

I installed ROM Manager and installed "flash clockworkmod recovery" (it said I had to) and then I clicked backup current ROM. I have tried twice, and it said failed each time.
I'm afraid to try it again, as I don't want to ruin my phone.
Any ideas?

Try going in to recovery by turning off the phone, hold the power and volume down button. Once in recovery, select apply sdcard:update.zip. That should get you get you to clockwork recovery. From there select install zip from sdcard and then choose zip from sdcard. Find the zip and flash it.
Let me know if that works.

I sent you a PM.

Everything works. Installed without a hitch, has all the programs gone that I wanted and kept the ones I wanted by switching them to the correct folder.
This guy got on chat with me and walked me through step by step, great guy with a great ROM!

Im liken it thanks....
Nicely done my friend this just gives people more options thank you....

Thanks. That was my thinking. A lot of people were asking for apps to be put back in to jt's super clean ROM so I figured this was the easiest way that anyone could just drop in what they want and it would be custom tailored to their needs.

Since I've seen over 200 people look at the page but only 2 download the package, I'm thinking that there's got to be something to the hesitation. Feedback is welcome here, and encouraged. If this is too scary and people want something that they can just flash, throw some ideas out to me. I'm definitely open to suggestions.

I think the holidays may have something to do with it. Personally, I plan to use this once I get my phone rooted (for some reason z4root locks my phone up every time) But I want to wait until the rushing, travelling holiday is over because I cant go without my phone =)

I'm happy with the SuperClean Rom and Voodoo 5 right now, otherwise I'd have given this one a shot.

I'm still using this and I have had no issues. I like being able to choose which programs are going to be on my droid, instead of having all or none that I want.

I am getting same errors also..
I have done super one click..
Run Rom Manager and chose ROM it asks to reboot I get error.
When I choose SD update.zip it boots back into a image that has sceens that have black widgets.. All other Samsung and USSC stuff is still there as well as ROM Manager..

You have to do some work on the files to make ROM Manager working.
Get Clockwork Working
That will let you make the backup.zip and install from the SD card. Threw me for a loop as well.

One thing I do not want to lose or at least be able to find in another app is the SMART ALARM ..
I know... I got used to it in just a couple days. Love the way it sort of eased you awake instead of a full on GET UP..
So question would be. Which apk and dependencies would I need to keep and or anyone know of another app that would give me same with more options.

[Q] (Q) Problems flashing ROM with ROM manager

OK please don't flame the noob for asking a question....
I'm trying to flash a new ROM onto my Infuse 4g. For some reason when I try to flash to a new ROM it either fails to load the new ROM or it doesn't seem to load anything. What am I doing wrong?
I rooted with superoneclick, I have backed up with titanium backup, and downloaded ROM manager. I've downloaded roms either on the XDA forums or right inside ROM manager. When I pick a phone in ROM manager I pick Galaxy S i9000,
I am currently flashed to ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2, If I try to flash to another clockworkmod it says "an error occurred while downloading your recovery".
I have tried a couple different ways.
I also tried to place the new rom file in the internal SD card and used the update method. When I try that it start to install the new file then fails about 30% in with an error.
What am I doing wrong?

which rom are you trying to flash?
Need to know that before steps can be given.
Galaxys i9000 is the correct clockworkmod.

Sounds more like ROM manager is just having server issues...
Sent from my Samsung Infuse 4G - 1.6ghz

I have tried to flash to a couple different roms.
infusionGB-1.1 from here, I tried MIUI and darkyROM from Rom manager.
When I tried the update.zip method it said "Failed to read whole file".
Truthfully I figure I'm a noob and I overlook something stupid. Also I'm not picky as to what I flash to, I'm just trying to learn to flash period.

Have you tried installing Infused 2.2.3 ? It's based on the Gingerbread from the Rogers Infuse.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220088
Follow each step:
1) You must be rooted.
2) If you have a /Voodoo folder on your internal SD card, delete it and reboot.
3) If you're already running a custom ROM with Voodoo lagfix FULLY enabled, you can skip to step 7.
4) Download ( CWM-community-kernel-v8.zip if you're on Froyo ) or ( CWM-infused-v2.0.1-kernel.zip if you're on Gingerbread ) and place it on your internal SD card.
5) Install SGS Kernel Flasher from the Market.
6) Open SGS Kernel Flasher, select choose kernel, select the file you downloaded, and select flash kernel. Your phone will reboot and begin to enable Voodoo lagfix. Let it do that and boot all the way up. It will take a while (5-10 minutes) because it's converting all partitions to ext4.
7) If you're on Froyo, you must now install a file explorer like Root Explorer from the Market and use it to delete the file /system/bin/recovery. You will need to hit the "Mount R/W" button in Root Explorer before it will let you delete it. I can't stress this enough... you MUST MUST MUST delete that file before continuing or else you will get boot loops!
8) Now install ROM Manager from the Market and open it.
9) Select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and choose "Galaxy S i9000".
10) Now go to "Download ROM", select my section (gtg465x), select the latest Infused V2 release, and hit the download button.
11) At the "Installation Type" prompt, select full.
12) Select the addons you wish to install and then wait for ROM Manager to download the ROM. There is a note at the bottom of this post about which addons are not compatible with each other.
13) When you get to the "ROM Pre-Installation" prompt, you MUST check "Wipe Data and Cache" unless you're coming from Infused V2 BETA 1.
14) Press OK. Your phone will reboot and automatically install the ROM. Just sit back and relax.
15) Do NOT restore system data with Titanium Backup. Do NOT restore ALL apps with data. If you absolutely must restore something with Titanium Backup, only restore MISSING apps with data.

First off the only rom straight out of rom manager you can flash is gtgs without helllraiser second when you download cwm witch 2.5 is right boot into recovery click re-install packages do this twice you should now have cwm recoverey then download the rom you would like following that ops directions and you should be fine
Holy MIUI Batman!

Thank you. It worked great!

Easier to just Odin/Heimdall a CWM-enabled kernel.
That way you never have to deal with "green" CWM.
BTW, once you have installed a custom ROM and enabled Voodoo Lagfix, NEVER use "green" CWM - it'll softbrick you.

Recommended ROMS over V21A Official LG ROM?

Hey guys. I just recently picked up an Unlocked LG Optimus P920 off eBay for a great price. It's running software LGP920-V21A but the battery life on the thing is really abysmal. What's a better ROM for the LG P920 that can still utilize the 3D camera? Would I have to go back to Froyo? There seems to be a lot of ROMs in here but I'd like one that would still let me use the 3D camera. Any help on this would be great because Gingerbread V21A sucks.

Try flashing v21D. Then, if you still think it's slow/battery life sucks, try CyanogenMod 7.2 RC1. Instructions to install CM7 (taken from a post of mine in another thread):
Download CyanogenMod 7.2 RC1 and GApps.
Transfer both zip files to the internal sdcard.
Make sure your phone is rooted and ClockworkMod Recovery is installed.
[OPTIONAL] Backup your apps using Titanium Backup (user apps+data only) and your SMSes and call logs if desired.
Power off your phone, then boot to CWM while pressing the 3D + Volume Down + Power buttons (in that order).
Make sure you select "wipe data/factory reset" and in advanced option, select 'clear dalvik cache'
Now tap on "flash .zip through sdcard", tap on "browse .zip from internal sdcard", then flash CyanogenMod 7.2 first, then GApps.
Press back a few times until you reach the main menu, select "reboot system now"
After your phone boots (it will take a while, be patient), set it up normally.
[OPTIONAL] Restore your Titanium Backup and/or SMS and/or call logs.
If you're trying to flash another rom, download the rom and continue from step 2. You do not need to flash GApps.

Yes try V21D Germany ROM.
BTW How much did you pay for it? I would be willing to put my O3D up for sale as well.

Surprisingly not that much. I paid $399.99 for it with free shipping on eBay. The phone was barely used, not a scratch on it. Practically brand new in my opinion, box and everything. Where can I find this V21D? I downloaded the Lestatious Biohazard V21D and so far, it's been working fine. Battery still seems to drain when I'm not even using it.

I've read that CyanogenMod, you can't use the 3D camera. Will I still be able to use the 3D camera and all of the neat 3D apps with this ROM? Thanks for the reply. There's so many ROMS in this Development thread, I don't know which one to try first.

How much battery life are you getting? if its in 90s in morning and by 9pm in 10s then its very good. don't expect much from it. you also should get rid of all the bloatware. Keep the brightness at low ends less than 25%. I have placed a shortcut to brightness setting to change to high for playing games or viewing pics/movies.

My phone lasts about 2 days on about 1 hour of internet usage, a lot of music and some Angry Birds Space. Taken on CyanogenMod 7.2, ymmv. Stock battery if you're curious.

Also get rid of, or patch anything with google ads or continual updating like weather appz etc.

I Think you can use any GB rom.. You have some custom ROM's in development section that are pretty good, i've tried all of them and they run good, fast and smooth, i'm not going to tell what i prefer because some rom's have something that other's dont and vice versa...
About the battery, i only can have good battery life without data or wifi on, when i use 3D/pic's/games the battery starts to go also but in this case its normal.
Install Clock work from market, put the ROM that you've choosen in internal SD and by CWM Recovery you can flash it.
Edit: the Cyanogen is the only ROM that i've known that still doesn't have the full 3D functions..

That's because it's based on AOSP and does not have LG's proprietary Real3D framework. The other ROMs are based on LG's official firmware and so will have 3D functions included.

Maybe it's because I have CM7, have zero mods and stripped down the installation some more Deleted some useless things in /system and have very few ad-laden games. By the end of the second day I would have about 15% battery remaining

Damn, if you could put together a tutorial, I'd like to try to install the CM7 ROM the way you did if I can get two days worth of juice before recharging. Would you consider making a tutorial on what exactly you put into the ROM and took out?

Press back a few times until you reach the main menu, select "reboot system now"
After your phone boots (it will take a while, be patient), set it up normally.
[OPTIONAL] Restore your Titanium Backup and/or SMS and/or call logs.
As for deleting apps, it really depends on what you need and what you don't. For example, I deleted ADWLauncher and installed LauncherPro instead. You can delete a bunch of stuff like DSPManager, DeskClock, FileManager, LatinIME, PicoTts, Protips, QuickSearchBox, RomManager, Stk, TtsService if you don't use them. You can delete even more apks depending on your usage (make a CWM backup or use adb pull /system before doing any of this) if you want. The apks I removed generally eat up some RAM so deleting things like the Text-to-speech service is a good idea if you don't use it. Also, usage patterns affect the battery life a lot. Do give it a try and good luck
PS. When I boot up my phone with an installation like this, I can get up to 270MB free RAM which is impossible to get on stock/stock-based roms

I'm actually having trouble flashing V21D onto the phone. Every time I run the LG updating App, it always says that I have the latest version of V21A and that I don't need to Update my phone. Is there another method to flashing the V21D onto my phone? I'm currently running the Lestatious Biohazard ROM based V21D but I still have the V21A baseband. How can I flash V21D onto my phone and remove V21A?

Flashing the V21D is a total pain in the ass. I followed all the instructions on that thread to the T and the update still won't get me past 6 percent. The connection would then time out and I'd have to restart the process.
The steps say to put the device in download mode but I can never tell when I'm in it or not. Can anyone elaborate on Download Mode and how to put your O3D in it.
I guess I'm doomed to stay on the battery sucking V21A until I can get it to work.
EDIT: By some divine miracle, I actually got the thing to work. I successfully flashed V21D onto my phone and hopefully, the battery life will improve. Thanks for your help Panda.

any diferences betwn 20a and 21d??

Loading First ROM

Hey guys,
I'm very new to Android and I have a few questions. I used to install custom OS's on my blackberry and I jailbroke my iphones so I'm some what used to this stuff but every operating system is obviously different. So I've had my S3 for about 6 weeks and I finally rooted a couple days ago. To root I followed this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875914. I rooted, unlocked the bootloader, and installed clockworkmod recovery. Now I have been wanting to load a jelly bean ROM. I kind of wanted to load the Synergy ROM found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792499. So am I ok to just download from that thread and drag and drop to my phone on my PC and just follow the directions? I don't have an external SD Card is just fine to use internal storage? Like I said all I have done is rooted from that first link. I just kinda wanted some verification before I go and brick my phone, thanks for your help.

Piece of cake. If you scroll down to the second post of the Synergy thread, you'll see the very first question in the FAQ:
Q: How do I install this ROM?
A: Download the ROM from the "Download Links" section above, place the file on your phone's external SD card, and then flash via your recovery. First boot after flash takes a wee bit longer than usual.

So, download the ROM (using either your phone (take note of where it saves it) or computer). If using your computer, connect your phone and drop that sucker somewhere on the SD card (external or internal -I use internal). (I create a folder in the root of my internal SD card called Files to Flash, in which I keep everything I flash, so it doesn't get scattered about, but do what you want )
Use Titanium Backup to back up all your apps and data to restore later (when you do restore, since you're going from ICS to JB, don't restore any System Data as it will cause many issues (apps and app data is fine)).
Reboot into recovery using Rom Manager, as mentioned in the rooting tutorial you followed.
Use your volume keys to navigate to "backup and restore" and select it using either the home or power button.
Select "backup" and wait for your nandroid backup to complete.
Next, navigate back to the original menu and select the "wipe cache/factory data reset" option.
Once that's done, select the "wipe cache partition" option.
(side note: Instead of doing those two things, I like to go into the "mounts and storage" option and select "format /system" "/data" and "/cache". Both ways work - BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO FORMAT SDCARD AND EXTERNALSD IF YOU USE MY METHOD...bad joo joo).
Select the "advanced" option from the initial menu and "wipe dalvic cache".
Now you're ready to install.
In the first menu, the second option is "install zip from sdcard." Select it.
Select "choose zip from sdcard" and navigate to where you saved the ROM and select it.
Scroll either up or down, passed all the "no"s and select "yes" and let it do it's thing.
Once it's done, navigate back to the menu you first started at by selecting the "Go Back" option, then reboot and profit.

letinsh posted pretty much the most concise instructions to follow. In addition, I'll suggest to backup your IMEI prior to flashing anything.

So I can just go to this website from my phone and go to the download link and download directly to my phone? Is that easier/faster? Thanks for responding

Good call, Snoop.
I totally forgot about it because I did it once and have flashed dozens of times since
Naganalf - as far as downloading via fone or computer, it's really 6 of one, half dozen of the other. Whichever makes you more comfortable. Keep in mind that it is HIGHLY recommended that you check the md5 sum of your download before flashing, to ensure you have a good download. I have an md5 sum checker on both my computer and fone, so I can do either fairly easily.
This is the one I used on my computer
and I use MD5 Checker by Fabien Thalgott (play store) on my phone.
Having just looked at the Synergy thread, they don't post md5's for their nightly's, so don't worry about that step for them, although, it typically is good practice to check (I hardbricked my S3 the third day I had it by pushing a corrupt file using Odin that would have been caught if I had checked the md5). (Got it JTAG'd back to life, so no worries - everything is recoverable from except physical damage )

Thanks for your help snoop and letish, after this first flash I will be much more comfortable. I am downloading now so when it gets done I will give it a whirl and let you know how it goes.

No worries, dude. I agonized for days before I rooted and flashed my first ROM on my OG Droid back in the day - had one of the founders of DroidForums (synik4l) on G-chat while I did the deed...I was so chicken
Good times, though. Just do your research, understand what it is you're doing, mitigate any risks (by doing your research...) and go to town! Most of the bugs in the process have been ironed out by jokers like me testing and hard-bricking along the way . At this point, the processes are very user friendly and reliable:fingers-crossed:
Enjoy!

How'd it go?

Getting ready to try it now, I will let you know.

when i "Reboot into Recovery" from Rom Manager i don't have a "backup and restore" option. it only has "reboot system now", "apply update from external storage", "wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache partition", and "apply update from cache"
am I missing something?

If you haven't selected any options yet then just go back into your rom. You need to download EZ Recovery from the Play Store so that you can flash a custom recovery (ClockworkMod or TWRP) through that app.

I'm sorry but I'm a little confused. Why is it only giving me those options when I reboot into recovery from ROM Manager? The first time after I rooted I'm pretty sure there was an option to "Backup and Restore". Also, why can't I just go into ROM Manager and select "Install ROM From SD Card" and select my ROM that way? sorry but I do appreciate your help.

Good questions. The recovery you rebooted into is the Stock recovery that comes with the phone. Your OP in this thread says that you installed CWM recovery. It looks like it didn't stick. Two options - Use the program Snoop suggested, or open up Rom Manager and hit the "Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery" option.
From there you can continue as previously explained.
EDIT - I've never used the ROM Manager's install ROM from SD card option, so I can't speak to it. I know I like having the control (or perceived control ) of doing everything by hand in recovery.

ok I have loaded android version 4.1.1 build number SynergyROM Nightly JB(r111) so I guess i did everything correctly. now i'd like to get my phone kinda back to how i had it lol. if I run titanium backup will my home screens all be restored the way I had them? and when i run titanium backup i ONLY want to run "restore missing apps with data" right? not "restore missing apps + all system data" just want to make sure. thanks

Correct, don't restore the system data. Now, if you want your txt messages back, you'll see a yellow Messages backup (with a TiBu logo). If you restore that (the only option available is Data, I think), you'll get your txts back.
Remember that you'll prolly need to reboot after the restore, then use ROM Manager to Fix Permissions, then restart again. You'll be off to the races!
As far as getting your home screens back, I don't know if that'll be possible, although they're both TouchWiz launchers....might be alright, then
I run Nova launcher regardless of ROM, so all I have to do is restore the Nova app, then used the built in Nova backup/restore to get my home screens back. Let me know how the Titanium restore works! As a side note, if I have any doubt about whether I'll be able to get my launcher set back up (or I'm switching launchers to try them out), I'll take quick screenshots of all my screens and use that as a reference to set them back up

well i think im all set, thanks again for your help guys. I went ahead and installed nova launcher so i can back up my home screens like you said. so if I want to try a different ROM do i need to flash back to stock first? or just do it like i did this time?

Nahh, just as simple as putting the ROM you want on your ex SD card or internal one which ever you prefer, wiping system/data , and wiping your cache, and then flash your new ROM . You can also "dirty flash" if say you are just moving from r111 of synergy to a newer one. Typically on the forum you will see if anyone had any problems dirty flashing. I always go with a clean flash just to avoid any problems to begin with.

What he ^ said. You can go from ROM to ROM. I, also, like Houdini said, like to flash clean each time. Try it both ways and see if you have problems
I just threw out Nova as an example - there are several good launchers out there...Nova, Apex, Go Launcher (I'll probably catch flack for mentioning it), Trebuchet (from CM). Most if not all have the ability to backup your settings. Try 'em each and figure out which one works best for you :good:
Glad it worked, buddy. Welcome to the flashing addiction :highfive:!

+1 for Nova Apex is also pretty good. Like lentinsh said, most if not all have the ability to back up your settings, making flashing from ROM to ROM that much easier :good: Cant go wrong with Nova though :laugh:

App Restore
Hey peeps,
I have been able to flash a few new ROMs but can't quite get my Apps Restored. I have/had Titanium Back up installed and backed up. With each ROM I install I don't quite get how to restore the Apps I had installed, Titanium Back up gets dropped when I flash to a new ROM.
I'm going to search the Forum for App Backup 101...
OK so I found a link to App Backup and Restore in GPS, on a different thread looks like it is what I need
thanks for any tips...

FULL NOOB Custom ROM install Instructions
How to install a custom ROM, Hopefully without messing anything else up.
Follow ALL the directions carefully.
These instructions are intended to do a couple things.
1. Not mess up your stock ROM(assumed to be ICS 4.04 stock OTA)
2. Allow you to use 4 other ROM’s on systems 3-6.
3. Show you why you couldn’t figure this out from the normal forum posts that just simply say.
1. Wipe data/factory reset, cache and Dalvik cache
2. Install your ROM
3. Install gapps
4. Reboot and enjoy!​NOW Let’s get started. Read through this once or twice before trying.
1. FULLY CHARGE YOUR PHONE BATTERY.(then come back)
2. On your phone Go to System Settings, More, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names, Copy down your APN settings. For AT&T USA they are as follows, AT&T US HSDPA, APN (phone), MCC (310), MNC (410), APN type (default, supl,agps,fota,dun), APN protocol (IPv4), APN enable/disable(APN enabled)
3. Connect your phone to your computer, choose Mass storage, USB storage. Let it install the drivers.
4. Switch the connection type to Media device, MTP and let it install the drivers.
5. Switch the connection type to Camera, PTP and let it install the drivers.
6. Create a folder on your computer, Example, D:\ROMS\SLIMKAT, D:\ROMS\CM11
7. Download the ROMs you want to their specific folders.
8. Download the rom specific GAPPs(Google Apps Package) to the same folder. Download any other packages that are needed to the same folder (mods/fixes).
9. Connect your phone as USB storage.
10. Copy the folder to your SD card.
11. Root your phone. As of 2/2/2014 If you are on stock ICS 4.0.4 the current way to root it is to use, Click_to_Root, Search the forum for the download, new_root_unroot_4.0.4_ics.rar
12. Download the Zip or RAR,
13. Extract it. The folder will look something like this D:\ROMS\new_root_unroot_4.0.4_ics.
14. Connect your phone as Media device, MTP.
15. Open the folder D:\ROMS\new_root_unroot_4.0.4_ics
16. Double click on Click_to_Root.bat, let it root your phone and wait for it to reboot. Don’t touch anything until it tells you that it was successful and your phone has rebooted.
17. Go to the Play Store and install Boot Menu Manager(BMM).
18. Open BMM click rebooter and choose reboot.
19. When it reboots to the green Android hijack screen touch it.
20. Click Recovery twice.
21. Choose Firmware flashing.
22. Choose Backup CID.
23. Go back, then go to SETTINGS.
24. Choose System 3
25. Choose partition setup
26. Choose system.img, click create.
27. Choose 800MB. If you add up the total size of ROM + GAAPS + MODS/FIXES, it should be less than the size you choose for system.img. So in my case choosing SlimKat I could have gotten away with 500MB.
28. Go Back, click data.img
29. Click Create
30. Choose 1000MB
31. Go back, click cache.img
32. Click Create
33. Choose 300MB
34. Go Back to the main menu.
35. Choose Recovery.
36. When it comes back up it will be RED and if you read the top it will say SYSTEM 1.
(Be very careful to make sure you switch to SYSTEM 3)
37. Choose Switch system.
38. Choose System 3, You are now in the settings for System 3 and the color has changed to ORANGE
39. Go to mounts & format
40. Go to format/system
41. Choose Yes
42. Go to format/data
43. Choose Yes
44. Go to format/cache
45. Choose Yes
46. Go back Choose Wipe & clean
47. Go to Wipe data&cache(Factory Reset)

60. Once on it TAP THE POWER BUTTON to open the folder.
61. Use up and down volume buttons to select the Specific ROM folder that you want on this partition. TAP THE POWER BUTTON to open the folder.
62. Use up and down volume buttons to select the ROM .zip package you want. TAP THE POWER BUTTON.
63. Choose Yes, Wait for it to finish installing.

84. Setup your new ROM
85. Go find where to put in the APN settings and put them in correctly.
86. Now connect your phone to your computer and copy your backed up CID, and system.img to your computer. The backed up CID and SYSTEM.img files are located in the following place. SDCard\clockworkmod\firmware. File name example cid_800DB9…600CC.img. Your backup boot img will be stored in the same folder. Example boot 3.0.8-g..e08bd.img.

BMM
I'm currently on a 2.3.6 ROM called VictoryROM 1.1 and when I search the play store I cannot find the BMM app. I used and still have Clockworkmod Recovery 5.02.5 installed which is what I used to flash victoryrom wayback when. I'm curious if I could use that recovery method to flash the new ROMs out nowadays, such as revolt or Unicorn.

Yep, but install BMM as most of these 4.4 ROMs are BMM. Read the guide and watch the videos before you mess up your phone. Beware installing them on system 1 or 2 unless you have a backup phone. They are not stable enough yet. Keep in mind they are still unofficial. So if you are wanting stable you might consider 4.3 Mokee or PAC MAN.
