[Q] Circle Battery Theme... Noob ALERT!

Hello Everyone,
I have in the last 3 or 4 days joined in the rooted party of phones. With the Stock 2.2 rooted ROM on my Incredible i have tried a number of Circle Battery mods without success.
Thanks to the people that did a walk through on nandroid backups and restores i have not completely broke my phone.
With the above being known i apologize to anyone that reads this and says to them self "IDIOT!!" but i have a few questions I'm hoping i can get some answers on from other people with Incredibles.
1. If I install a different ROM like Cyanogen or Uncommon Sense to get the Circle Battery mod working will i be able to get back to my stock 2.2 rooted ROM using the restore like i did before?
1a. Is doing the ROM update done just like installing a mod "recovery-->install from .zip-->choose .zip"?
2. Is the Stock 2.2 rooted ROM worth staying with?
2a. If not and Verizon comes out with 3.0 or whatever the next number is can i go back to the stock ROM?
3. Does anyone have any known working Circle Battery mods for the Incredible running stock 2.2 rooted? ((I'm looking for something like "Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen") (SCB with %, Version Z, Custom type, colors--> A.))
Thanks for anyone replying.

I'm no expert, but I believe the reason the battery mod doesn't work with your stock ROM is because in order for those types of customizations to work, your ROM must be de-odexed. This is pretty standard in most custom ROMs but is not the case with stock.
As for your questions:

Yes, but when you do the restore everything will go back to the way it was before you flashed the new ROM. You won't be able to restore and keep the battery icon. When you create a nandroid backup, it's essentially a complete snapshot inside and out of everything on your phone.

Yes. Be sure to wipe data/cache when flashing a new ROM though, otherwise you will run into problems. Always have a nandroid backup before flashing anything new just in case!

It depends on what you are looking for. Many ROMs include additional features, performance tweaks and customization options not available with stock. I'd suggest trying a few out to see what fits your tastes. If you're looking for something similar to stock with all the junk removed and ability to add things like custom battery modifications, I would give Virtuous a try.

For the most part, I would just stay rooted, as you'll most likely be able to get an official 3.0 ROM leak before Verizon gets an OTA out anyway. However, there are ways to revert to stock and unroot your device if you really want to. A little searching of these forums can provide you with a guide on how to do this.[/QUOTE]

Wow... thanks for the information XideXL i think i will try a few other ROMs like your suggest and just keep my nandroid backup on hand should anything go bad.

New Rooted Inspire

So i just followed the guide. I am happy to say that i just successfully rooted my phone. Took me a few tries but finally was able to do it.
So now what? I am down to GB 2.2 and now have to figure out how to get to GB 2.3.
In terms of ROMS what can i use to make sure not to brick my phone and do i just install them on my sdcard and use clockworkrecovery to load them or do i have to install them to romzip and use Ace Hack It.
Thanks guys for your support in development. I am looking forward to using a rooted Andriod.

This thread would probably be better off in Q&A, but at any rate. Yes you just put the zip for the rom on your sd card and flash it with CWM, no need to use the hack kit. Any ROM in the dev section should work well for you without bricking your phone. It's just a matter of what you want from your ROM.

Welcome, new rooted user
There are a few GB ROMs out there and here are a few located in the Dev section...
Leedroid
Coredroid
Android Revolution
All are quick and stable it is just personal preference on what you want. Simply download the ROM to your computer and place it on the root of your SD card, and then boot into clockwork and wipe your device clean...
1. Factory Reset
2 Advanced-Wipe dalvik cache
3. Install from sd card and choose your ROM
Very simple if you have any other question feel free to ask.

If you want a rom that looks stock but runs great, I would recommend rum runner. Also, welcome to the addiction. I flash a new rom at least once a week.

I've tried a bunch of different roms, and the one I like the most as of now is CoreDroid V8.1

Back when i first rooted my phone I tried ARHD, Leedroid, and a few others and stuck with ARHD until I ran upon CM7. Started with the nightlies because they were the only ones that could run Netflix at the time and have been stuck on CM7 since.
Try a few and figure out the style you want (stock looking or AOSP) because themes can be done for all of them.

I'm on cm7, and love it.. I can now tether, and be a hot spot without changing my plan...

Add Ninja to a list of ROMS to try as well, very stable, fast and good on the battery.

If you wan to jump from 2.2 to 3.5, I'd recommend RCMix3D Runny.

Revolution HD flash on two phones. Both phones are now slooooowwww...

A while back I rooted and flashed Revolution HD 3.6.4 on my Sensation without any issues; noticed immediate improvements, and was really pleased with the performance and battery life. Only issue was the occasional boot loop which I remedied by flashing a Bricked kernel.
Fast forward to two nights ago…
My parents also have Sensations and were not very happy with them so I convinced them let me root them which I did.
I did to their phones exactly what I did to mine, including; s-off, perma root, CWM, nandroid backup, flash ARHD 3.6.4 w/ bricked kernel.
The weird part is both of them are now having identical issues with their phones; really slow, 4hr battery life and laggy.
However…
I was sure to wipe the battery stats by draining the battery to complete shutoff, recharging to 100% (basically overnight 8hr+ charge) and erase battery stats from within CWM
I did not do a Titanium backup because a)they really didn’t have much installed, app-wise and b)I thought a fresh install would be cleaner without trying to recover any settings
I made sure to run the Revolution HD Super wipe before flashing the Rom
Installed the HTC Bricked kernel
The only thing different about their phones than my phone is they never applied the official HTC OTA major update. I went into this thinking it would not matter since we’re installing a new rom anyway but perhaps I’m wrong???
Why would two freshly-rooted phones exhibit the same issues?
I’m planning on re-flashing their phones later this week with the newer ARHD 3.6.5 rom (which I just did to mine ) hoping this will clear up any issues they’re having but want to make sure I’m not doing something wrong first…

Let me ask a more direct question.
Can I flash the new Revolution HD 3.6.5 (including the bundled faux kernel) to a phone that has not had the HTC Sense OTA update? Or will issues arise?

I think the problem is radio wise. Install the recommended radio and see if it solve the problem

Hi,
The issue is most probably the kernel.
Try installing the latest.
You have two choices.
1.faux.(in my sig)
2.bricked.(HERE)
Seeing as you have two phones to play with,why not try one on each.

I flashed both their phones with the bricked kernel when I installed the rom originally.
If the problem isn't due to the older Sense version being installed what I plan on doing is flash both phones with ARHD 3.6.5 and leave the bundled kernel installed (have the 3.6.5 with new faux on my phone and so far so good).
I can try the radio flash also but I never had to flash the radio on my phone and all three phones are identical (bought them at the exact same time; family plan-thing).

Hi,
I have never updated via OTA,and I never will.(Do not trust what it will do to my phone)
There are known issues with the bundled kernels.
Both of the latest kernels have had good reviews.
Just saying.

The OTA could've updated your radio.

Check if you have recommended radio or not. If not, flash recommended radio. Then,
Try to download ARHD 3.6.5 (check MD5), download latest kenels of your choice.
- Super wipe
- Flash Room, and reboot (just set up phone, dont set google account and facebook yet).
- If you want do flash roomcleaner: reboot into recovery and flash roomcleaner.
- If not, just reboot in recovery, wipe cache and wipe davik cache, then flash kenel of your choice.
- Reboot, set up your google account, facebook account, email account, etc...
- If phone experiences a bit lag during turning page to page in homescreen. Just reboot again. After that you can do all battery calibration, flashing mods or themes.
It may be too careful but that just to make sure I dont mess up everything with flashing.
Hope this help!

Hi,
ROM cleaner is flashed immediately after flashing the ROM, without any reboot.

Thanks for all the advice. I just got a call from my mom today saying her phone dies real fast and every time she takes a photo the screen goes black resulting in a battery-pull.
I gotta fix their ****z pronto.
I hyped the whole rooting thing up pretty good after flashing my phone, so far their experiences are pretty bad.
@ stevendph, I'll do exactly as you outlined. Thanks for the step by step.
fwiw the radio is whatever was on the phone from the time of purchase. Ill flash it as well with the 'recommend' radio.
So the consensus is to go back to the Bricked kernel and overwrite the new "updated" Faux kernel bundled in the ROM???

Yep, it's can be flashed immediately or after 1st reboot, the result will be the same as roomcleaner's function is to delete system apps, files, skin and wallpaper (which are useless or you dont use). Those also can do it manually but yes painfull .
As i stated before, it's just i am doing carefully to watch if is there anything wrong with room flashing, then continue flash other things. What i did was flash, check, flash, check... until having what neccessary -->nandroid backup, flash, check, etc . Just me to be careful
@Okors: related to kenels, just make sure you notice this.
- Faux latest kenels 0.24r1 is really good and stable (if you have 0.24 beta 7, you dont need to update, as they are same).
- Bricked kenels: v1.5 final has the problem with camera, playback video (sometimes for some devices) as blackscreen, freezing. Version 1.4r1 is really good and stable (without Zram enable). Version 1.5 beta #490 with zram, working great for me anytime including camera, playback, etc... but there are reports from someone that they have lags (i dont)...
That's all what i know when testing and reading reports about these kenels, you have the right to choose what is suite for you.

I would just flash Pyramid 3D and 0.91 Bricked, check if GPS and camera work, then call it a day. If GPS doesn't work you could always try my fix or crypted's, boh are flashable.
Pyramid 3D has been the most stable and the fastest out of all the ROMs that I've tried without having to extensively customize for myself. Honestly though, I would just flash your parents stock again. Doesn't sound like they are power users.

To be honest, I'm mostly after the improved battery life for them. You're right, they're not power users; in fact the phones are way to "smart" for them. Their biggest complaint is battery life (as was mine before I rooted).
At this point I just want to get their phones back to a stable state. It's frustrating because I NEVER had any of these issues when I flashed my phone.
Even the kernels, radios, etc didn't make 'much' of a difference. I was blessed with a really, really stable flash right out of the gate
I even updated to the latest ARHD and bundled faux kernel and my phone is rock solid.
Both of my parents are coming over tonight for dinner. I'm planning on reflashing them to ARHD 3.6.5. using the steps outlined earlier. Hopefully all goes well or it's restore-to-stock time.

Hi,
May I suggest using the 3.6.x series with the 0.9.1 bricked kernel,found HERE
I put it on my son's Sensation,and he loves the stability and battery life.
He's not a power user.
He just wants a smartphone that works.
Just a thought.

You could also try the stock rom xe by eddyos. Everything works fine and battery last for 14 to 24 hrs in medium to light usage.

[Q] ICS ROM's freezing

Hey everyone,
After trying almost every single ICS ROM available for my O1 P500h, every ROM seems to have the same problem. Although they all run very good, the phone will just hang at random points, but mostly when installing apps. Then requires a hard reset battery pull, or will reset itself after about a minute. Does anybody know of a solution to this? It wouldn't really be that much of a problem if the phone didn't take so long to restart.
I've seen other users report this problem to ROM dev's as well however the problems seemed to be fixed for them by a newer update for the ROM, but even if I use the newest version I still get this problem.
It's not present on CM7, or Jelly Bean (4.1 or 4.2) ROM's as far as the ones that I've tried. I feel like I've tried every single ROM for this phone already. I wanted to move on from CM7 because of it's lack of new-ness compared to ICS and above, and on the other hand Jelly Bean ROM's don't have a lot of internal storage compared to ICS ones, which is a problem for me because I download lots of apps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The stock kernels which come with the ROM's, which allow you to overclock the phone to 800-something MHz. I never use the overclock though and keeping it on 600MHz that comes out of the box still has the problem. With GB I'd overclock it to 729 for normal use, and on JB 748 for snappier performance with no bad things happening (well, besides battery life)

[Q] Phone application force closes after finishing a call...

Hello, all.
I have a T-Mobile Blaze 4G with rooted stock ROM (Gingerbread), flashed radio version T989UVMC6, manually debloated and dewizzed. I'm running Halo launcher and Busybox Free version 9.6.
Since almost the first day I've had this phone, it would occasionally force close the phone process, usually when hanging up the phone with the Bluetooth radio on and paired with an earpiece. It happened bone stock, rooted, after I changed the modem, whenever. It seemed to happen less often after I changed the modem. The process always starts back up, but the Bluetooth device connection and system sound controls are wonky (unusable) until the phone is rebooted.
The only thing that seems to stop it is running Zepplinrox's V6 Supercharger script. That, however, occasionally freezes the entire system when trying to open certain apps, requiring a reboot. I've run earch after search on this subject, and nobody else seems to have this problem. The only thing I haven't tried is wiping the whole thing and flashing a custom ICS or JB ROM. I tried Dark Knight ver. 8 and hated it pretty much instantly.
I have two questions. Number one; Will flashing a custom ROM fix this situation? I figure that this must be a problem with the crappy stock Samsung ROM. Number two; Which ROM is fully functional and stable? I'd really like to keep this phone dependable. I don't care about the latest and greatest funky cool features that are hit-or-miss at best. I just need dependable, fast and functional.

Since you have been having issues for a while, I would suggest starting fresh. With a few runs of black hole wipe from cwm. Add a run of the gremlin remover for extra cleanliness. Then a flash of the latest ICS rooted stock rom and kernel, for reliability.

I'll definitely go for the rooted version! Does it matter what order in which the ROM and the kernel are flashed? Also, I take it from the name of the download link that I'll have to go through the process of de-bloating this thing again. S'okay, I actually enjoy that part, but I don't want to screw it up since I've not messed with anything newer than GB. Is there a good guide somewhere on the forum for apps that can be dumped safely? I know there was one for GB stock root.
Thanks for the response.

Of course. I get a bit confused ever since people started talking about 10.1.

Okay, I went ahead and installed the stock rooted ROM with the stock kernel. Went through the debloating process (mostly, there are some apps that I'm not sure I can do without so they stay for now), and did some customizing. I'm seeing a bit more battery drain. Is this an issue with ICS or do I need to try another kernel or supercharge the phone? I also have this crazy issue with ROM Manager ver. 5.5.3.0. It tells me that there is an updated version of Clockworkmod Recovery, but it freezes when I try to flash from ROM Manager. Also, ROM Manager freezes when I try to reboot into Clockworkmod Recovery. Maybe I need to test a bit more before I mess with it any more.
**EDIT** Well, it looks as if my CWM recovery installation is corrupted. Can I reflash it without messing up my current ROM?

Since you have it setup, except for battery life. I would make a backup, then try a mod one at a time and see if any help. Also check the battery stats to see if anything of is seen. ICS will use more juice than GB, generally.
I would suggest Nos/direct injection, supercharger, or cross breeder. I would use one and see, then restore and try another.

Some time later...
I've been using the stock rooted ICS ROM since my last post, debloated and dewizzed of course, with Holo Launcher and T989UVMC6 baseband version flashed. Just over a month has passed, and I have good news!
I FREAKING LOVE THIS PHONE!!!
All of the force close and freezing issues have vanished, the phone's battery lasts almost as long as it did on GB, it's WAY more user friendly, and the phone is as fast as it ever was.
The bad news is that my wife got a GS4 and I lust after it now. : /
Thanks to everyone for their help!
