Hey guys,
I got my first real smart phone about a week ago, it was a USC Samsung Mesmerize. Yesterday I stumbled upon rooting when trying to figure out how to remove useless pre installed apps. All I really want is a slim & fast version & to be able to keep my navigation.
I've had experience with flashing; Xbox 360 & PSP's. So I kind of jumped into this and ended up bricking my phone. Or damn close.
From looking at the back of my phone it says Galaxy S, so I went in that section and downloaded/flashed this originally (caused brick):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940671
I did everything up to step 7, except it wouldnt boot past the splash screen.
So then came panic time...
I eventually reflashed with a new rom for the correct phone, This one to be exact:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944671
My question is:
What have I really done now that I run on this rom?
I still cant uninstall preloaded software.
I would be willing to flash a new rom so I can have a faster phone.
But really no one makes it clear enough in there guides about how this process actually works.
my best guess is after I flashed with that rom I will be able to upgrade to a better rom?
What is FROYO EA11?
What is voodoo?
First off, consequences will never be the same...
You are now running a STOCK (leaked) 2.2 ROM, with a stock kernel and USCC App Bloat.
If you want a fast Android 2.2 with stock apps removed, do this:
1. Flash the EA11 + recovery via Odin, following the steps here.
2: Download the EA11 voodoo kernel found here and flash.
3: Boot into recovery and run update.zip (this will push you to a red clockwork recovery)
HINT: If you aren't familiar with clockwork recovery, the controls are slightly different. You use still use the volume buttons to navigate, but the power button is now used to execute selections and the search softkey to go back.
4: select install .zip from sdcard
5: select the voodoo .zip and confirm
This will install the new kernel and replace your recovery (which used to require booting into the Samsung recovery before making your way to the clockwork recovery by installing update.zip from sdcard) with a clockwork recovery that will look identical to the one you had after running update.zip, but can enable your newly acquired lagfix.
6: enable voodoo lagfix, and rejoice!
6: Optionally install the Pick and Pack ROM found here. (I WOULD!)
(Credits to MesmerizeUser for these steps, I copypasta'd and edited.)
Good luck with your back-tracing! Let us know if any steps are unclear.
Also, the payed version of Titanium Backup will let you "freeze" stock apps, so they don't appear in your menus, and they won't run, but you can "thaw" them whenever you like.
PS - FROYO EA11 is a leaked Android 2.2 ROM for the Mesmerize. Google names Android releases after deserts, like Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, etc.
Voodoo is a name of the kernel which changes your EXT2 partition (old school) to EXT4 (new school), and makes your file system much faster.

OK, first of all, welcome. You've come to the right place to do several things. The first of which is to learn. Don't freak out. You're phone is in good hands here in this forum. Unless you really try hard, you can't do much to actually bork it up so bad that we can't fix it.
So, what you have done up to this point is update your phone to the leaked 2.2 firmware. It's not a ROM, it's actually the full firmware. If you want to remove bloat, the easiest way is to now install my EA11 Pick-n-Pack ROM, which already probably lighter than you want it. The good thing, is that it also has an addons pack that you can download to put anything back on that you want. Everything is there in easily flashable zip files. You just have to look inside if you don't see the actual name of something in particular. (ie. calendar is in SamsungandTouchWiz.zip) Now if you want faster with your new light weight ROM, go with the EA11 Voodoo kernel to help boost you up as well. This isn't a final build, as we don't have source code yet so understand this is just a small improvement on the stock kernel. Now, if you want to get all the way back to stock 2.1, might I suggest this thread to help with that. And for some help getting to know a little about everything, pop over to the irc channel in my signature and talk to anyone that happens to be there. We're here to help. If they don't answer, they've probably stepped away. Some of us hang out there and leave the computer idle while we're doing other things.
Again, welcome aboard. I hope some of that info helped you out.
first off...welcome...second if i would have done that i think i may have left a mess in my pants...but seems like you got it running good again plz trust me when i say listen to phidelt82, he will not give you any wrong advise...because of him and a few others, my phone kicks ass and im actually trying to learn how to make themes and roms (dont know much but learning), so yea...you came to the right place to make your phone truly your (with there software...lol)

There most likely is no reason to go back to stock 2.1, correct? My shot in the dark is the reason you would want to is to not get usc on your back and larger selection of stable roms and kernels?
Thanks, you guys f***ing rock.

the voodoo kernel is modified with a lag fix. it will speed up your phone a bit. there is a program in the market called quadrant. run the full benchmark and you will get an idea of how your phone stacks up against others and will also give you a base score for your phone. if you do not have voodoo kernel installed your score will be around 800-900, after voodoo your score will be up around 1500.
the pick-n-pack rom lets you addon via the pnpaddons file, stuff you want on your phone prior to flashing. you pick what you want and flash it.
yes it is "a light rom with the ability to add the removed pre-load apps"
the leaked froyo and the voodoo kernel are very nice, i wouldn't go back to eclair 2.1 unless you needed to return the phone to uscc for whatever reason.
good luck and happy flashing.
Just an update guys, Thanks to phidelt82 I am now running 2.2 PnP w/ Voodoo Kernel.
The diffrence is night and day, used to get slow w/ a little lag every now and then. Now its always fast. Thanks again.

Sweet 1506 here.
and dont forget for roms you may flash... you can not UNINSTALL phone apps..... via the 'manage applications' menu.
you have to use a program like Root Explorer and physically DELETE them from the /system/app folder along with other folders they reside in.
only Cyanogen (i think) allows for uninstalling for actual phone programs.

You can also un-install stock apps with Titanium Backup.
Also, it seems like you're rushing into this a little bit.
Relax getting into the dev community is like getting into a slightly chilly pool, you need to ease in.
That said, welcome, and I look forward to seeing you around.

Correction noted!
I've decided that I would love the customization stuff in Cyanogen7, so I'd like to root, flash and install a custom ROM. I'd love to have the customization of CM7 vs the stock Froyo I have from WIND. Right now, there is no crapware, and the phone is quite fast. The only thing that I wish worked is the Skype front camera, which is supposedly to work in Gingerbread. Apart from that, everything works great. I am afraid to lose the functionality, so I'd like if someone has the WIND LG with CM7, to try to answer if there are any issues with the following points:
* phone of course
* GPS, Google Maps, Market, Messaging
* both cameras, 1080p recording and HDMI output
* video talk in Skype
Also, feel free to leave a short feedback about CM7 and a recommendation. Thanks.
Skype front camera doesn't work in Gingerbread... GTalk video chat works on CM though.

Does that generally mean that there is no problem with the lack of Nvidia's code? Does that mean Microsoft's to blame?
Skype just needs updating to support nVidia camera
OK, I'm assuming all the above works. If the general procedure is to root, flash, install, when does the unlocking of the phone happen? Also, do you need to upgrade to 2.3 stock, before loading CM7, or ca you do it off 2.2?
Also, since no one has said anything about the points above, are there ANY bugs with CM7 or EB?
Also, is there a unified guide to custom ROM loading from stock?
Does everyone use this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060715 ?
Hello fellow WIND user.
I am using CM7 nightly build 123 on my G2X and almost everything works fine. Save for the camera issue stated earlier and the impossibility of getting a GPS lock. I have tried several 'fixes' posted in the forums for this issue but I can't seem to get GPS lock regardless.
I still recommend switching away from stock ROM because it grants your device more flexibility and possibly a longer battery life.
Rooting and installing a custom ROM does not unlock your phone. You will still need to obtain an unlock code from either WIND (free after 3 months I think) or the web (for a price).
You do not need to upgrade your Android OS before flashing. The OS is part of the ROM you will be flashing onto your device. You will however, need to root, backup, and wipe your device. Just follow the guides on the forum which you have found.
If the wind version is the same procedure-wise, rooting is a redundant step. Installing CWM via nvflash does not require root. Once that is installed, you may backup, restore, and flash to your heart's content.

Is this issue universal across all custom roms with p999, or just with CM7, or just with you? Can an EB or another CM7 chime in? Wouldn't EB be more stable than CM, since it is not rewritten?

So, intuitively speaking:
1. Install CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
I'm not familiar with the terminology, can you point out the helping threads about backing up, restoring and flashing?
Also, can the whole procedure be done on Linux, or do I have to install VBox?
You can do it from Linux. You just type some commands in a terminal to push an img file over to the phone.
Backup/Restore is a menu option in the clockwork recovery. Pretty straight forward stuff.
Flashing just on your phone just entails downloading the rom file (zip format) to your SD card and going in clockwork recovery and selecting it (flash zip from SD) via the menu.
Quick steps
-NVFlash
-Backup
-Download CM7 to SD
-Flash CM7
After you flash CM7 you'll have root access thus allowing you to use easier methods of downloading and flashing using Rom Manager

And by backup, you mean this? source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060715
Perform a Nandroid Backup of your Phone (Optional but suggested before you flash any ROM or make any O/S changes):
1. Bootup to NvFlashed Clockwork Recovery using the button method.
2. Choose backup/restore and run a backup.
3. This will save the backup to your internal or external SD Card depending on which version of CWM you selected in the One-Click App.

Yes, I did 2.3.5.
GPS is fine. Battery is good. Camera is OK, but LG one was better. I haven't recorded HD to see if there's a sound mismatch, yet. Is there 1080p? Assuming change after the official LG 2.3

In short, go for it. I bought the phone back in late June, had CM7 running on it a few hours later, and haven't looked back. I've currently got nightly #123 along with Faux's undervolted DS battery driver kernel and am very happy with the responsiveness, the added features, and so on. There's been a slowdown in nightlies recently due to a problem with the repository, but the features being prepared in the interim will continue to refine what is already a great phone. Battery life is way, way up compared to stock, thanks to refinements in the kernel and using SetCPU profiles to cut power use when the screen is off.
Messaging is fine, although I'm using Handcent rather than stock. Maps is fast (GPS aside) and the camera is good (again, using aftermarket, currently Vignette). I've only recently begun to use video talk - Skype doesn't support this phone yet but Google Talk now works. There are some issues, of course. The GPS continues to be slow - locks range from 10-20 seconds outdoors in an open space to virtually never indoors (in places where my older, cheaper phone did lock).

Yeah, yeah... CM7
Honestly, this ROM goes over the roof when it comes to customization.
Hey guys, ok so I am coming from two HTC Heros (CMDA Sprint)
Was running cyanogenmod on both (me and the wife) loved it.
Now that I have the E4GT, I went ahead last week and used ODIN to install LoStKernel.
Now it did give me root and I have used apps like rom toolbox and setcpu.
My main problem is it seems these samsung devices are a lot trickier to tinker with.
Basically I am looking to get Clockworkmod so I can flash roms and make nandroid backups.
From what I have read, I need a kernel that supports and/or has CWM in it.
I tried flashing CWM with rom manager, and it installed - but I have no option to backup/restore I can only flash a zip or clear cache.
There are SO MANY things posted in the development section and I do not know which kernels are the latest, best etc.
I need:
a) CWM/busybox
b) overclocking support
c) FULL stock functionality (no loss of wifi or something stupid like that)
From what I am understanding the kernel is included with a rom. But I can't flash a rom without CWM. So I am rooted but stuck with stock rom and it's kernel.
Confused, lol!
Can someone point me to a proper thread to get me CWM and a well supported ROM to install? Can I get CWM working fully on the stock kernel/rom?
If someone can point me to the right direction, maybe I can find a developer to donate to lol!
No love?
At this point I'm just trying to get cwm. Seems I may have already had it just didn't know it came with lostkernel and now I botched it using rom manager.

You can actually flash a new kernel with CWM in odin
Thats the easiest method
There are several, as for the best I dont know yet
Im still tinkering with my setup
I guess that's my main issue - I can't find one that has CWM, everything I am seeing is a ROM that needs CWM to install.
If I had CWM I'd be all set because then I can backup my setup and try new things without worry, but I don't want to use ODIN to try a kernel that CWM won't take, or isn't there, and then lose what I have ya know?
All set, seems I flashed a kernel that wasn't what it was supposed to be. I apparently flashed his earlier version (pre-LoStKernel) that did not have CWM5 it it.
Just used ODIN last night to drop in LoStKernel and kept root, but also have CWM5 now. After clearing my SD Card, made my first backup. 1.5GB, jesus! lol. Nearly my whole SD card... yes, it's from my old Hero, so, time to get a 32GB.
i see that the guys working on the jellybean port for the infuse are using cwm 6.0.0.5 or so -- how can i get this installed on my infuse without installing the new jellybean rom (yet) ?

I can personally tell you that cwm 6 is not touch...I used it on my vivid and there was no touch...at least the vivid has no touch...ill flash the vivid cwm 6 again just to be sure...
Even better...can someone who has flashed jb say wether or not the cwm has touch?
EDIT: Cwm 6.0.0.5 does not have touch for the HTC vivid...not sure about the infuse though...for the vivid it works just like the old cwm...use volume to navigate, power to choose

whether or not cwm has touch enabled or not does not have to do with its version.

yes, i know that as ive seen others with touch...thats why i said not sure about the infuse, the vivid one is built from official cm source so i don't think CWM 6 naturally supports touch...as in touch is enabled by some sort of add on/code edit-i could be wrong as i didn't build it nor have i looked at the source or anything so this is all based off of my observations of the vivid cwm 6
-jack if you've used the cwm from scotts cm10 build can you let us know if it has touch...i would pm scott but hes busy and knowing whether or not a recovery has touch isn't really necessary.
either way...doesn't effect me, im not a fan of CWM any longer and likely will not use it again for flashing roms
enabling touch isnt that hard to do in cwm. if you used the aroma installer on something like aokp on the infuse, youve used touch in cwm on the infuse. i know however its not enabled in the cwm6 thats with the jb rom. its just not a priority to fix right now. but im sure after getting more things working, itll be added one day.

thanks for the reply, yeah...im sure once everything is as stable as ics some one may look into adding touch, ive used aroma before so i know what your talking about there...im buying an infuse in a few hours so i will be able to actually test things out before i reply
as for aroma...i love it and i hate it...its cool that you get to customize your flash some what...but the size of the download can be so huge! especially if its an aroma built for the vivid...stock vivid is 600mb unzipped...zipped and compressed its 400mb add another few hundred megabytes in there for aroma add ons and your looking at one or two roms per gig lol

Could be wrong...but just based off only official cm source I don't think its touch based...i think the touched based ones have some sort of modification to the cm source

http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager <- both touch and nontouch recovery are both by clockworkmod. and again, version means nothing towards it. to get touch working in cwm, you just need to load touchscreen modules. theyre just not in any of the infuse versions yet.
Somehow i have cwm 6 while running ics paranoid android. I didn't do it on purpose

With most non-samsung phones recovery is not built into the kernel(actually HTC are the only phones I know like this), its in its on little partion which means you can change kernels without changing recoveries
For the infuse the recovery seems to have always been tied into the kernel so when you flash a kernel you flash a recovery...
Now by you saying that you still have cwm6, that leads to believe that possibly Scott has somehow removed the recovery from the kernel...if that was the case though you'd think there would be problems with the recovery inside the ics kernel...so I'm thinking somehow your still running he jb kernel which somehow can still run ics??? Lol I'm kinda at a lost...that was just me typing my thoughts/thinking outloud/rambling on about recoveries
Makes me curious tho...
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
I think you're right that the recovery was partitioned somewhere and didn't go away. I was on an ics kernel. I believe this based on the build.prop info saying it was a 6/20 kernel, everything worked fine including Wi-Fi, torch, etc.
I was on JB and used Zen's toolkit to "complete wipe" then used the toolkit to restore to PA.
Edit: I flashed the latest yuma kernel because i needed to change this thing asap. I also just noticed multiple kernels have 6/20 as a date. The yuma kernel is signed differently with an "aaron" in the name that the previous kernel didn't have and is has a 6/30. I would have grabbed a screen shot, but i have ppl coming over soon and need to charge it so i can answer calls.
Well matt...here's what Scott had to say, the recovery is not in the kernel...its in recovery (assuming that means in its a seperate partion) so I guess as soon as you get cwm 6 your stuck with it unless you Odin/heimdal back to stock...
Now you wanna hear something interesting/cool? If the recovery is in its own partion then this opens the door for more types of custom recoveries! I was already planing on building an ics kernel with twrp recovery baked in when I get an infuse to work with...the problem with that though is as soon as you flash a Rom you would lose my kernel/twrp...but if Scott has it in its own partion then as soon as there's a twrp for jb I would be able to compile it and not have to worry about it getting erased from flashes..
Here's a video of twrp in action...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2VlpVKj1eI&feature=youtube_gdata_player twrp is my favorite recovery...its fully touch based recovery and you can also theme the recovery as the UI is built with xml codes...really cool-I have it on my vivid...its also based off cwm source...so its just as stable as cwm
EDIT...i like your profile pic/avatar...nothing like some $5 Hot N' Ready large pizzas lol

it isnt in the kernel, it is a partition. you cant boot to something inside of a kernel file, that doesnt make sense. you do however need a kernel capable of running whichever version of recovery you want to use. since fastboot is not on this device and many other samsung devices, there is a sort of failsafe in which recovery is written onto the device during system boot. which is why when you flash from a touchwiz rom to aosp rom, you have to let it boot up and freeze, then go back into recovery and flash again. you can look up partition information in recovery.fstab.

Actually...recoveries are built into the kernel...why else would you get red cam by flashing entropies gb kernel zimage
And as you can see in the picture (twrp Samsung github) they even state that most Samsung's must have recovery built into kernel..
Now it may be different with aosp Roms...but for normal stock Roms and stuff, i know for a fact that kernels contain the recovery...

hrm. maybe its some kind of uimage. dunno, doesnt really apply to the infuse though.
Hello,
I am very new to rooting and custom roms so i followed a guide to use cwm to try and root the tablet which didn't work. I was able to install cwm with no issues but when i tried to apply XpLoDWilD root-signed.zip file it would install but when I would reboot with cwm it would say that i would possibly lose root and give me an option to fix root which i would select and then the tablet would reboot and i would use a root check that would say i didn't have root. I wanted to use CWM backup feature before i did any custom roms but i was unable to get a successful backup with cwm. I used cwm to flash CleanRom Inheritance 3.03 onto the tablet and then used a root checker and finally got a successful root result but then i once again tried to backup my tablet using CWM and was unsuccessful again. So I want to know what will happen if I were to do a wipe data/factory reset within CWM or while I am booted into the android OS. I was able to do a titanium backup and copied the titanium backup folder to my mircosd card. Is there anything I need to watch out for or any other backup method i need to do on my tablet?
If you already have a Custom Recovery why the hack you want to stay on original Stock?
CleanRom is twice as good and Stock related, rooted and if you flash a kernel after even OC.
If you really like to root stock there is a superuser file somewere out here called Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed. This should do the trick. But as I wrote before with this you will have a VW Beatle with Clean you have a Porsche
I agree. Not flashing a custom rooted ROM is, IMO, a waste of a good tablet. I was amazed at the increase in performance after flashing the 2.54 version of Paranoid Android with the OCed Untermensch kernel.
I do like the custom cleanrom

I do want to keep my custom rom but was worried about making sure I have the os backed up properly in case i need to do a re-install or something. Is titanium backup enough to get me fully restored incase something happened to my tablet?

What steps did you take to OC your tablet? I installed Clemsyn's kernal 1.3-1.8Ghz OC kernal and used No frills CPU to play around with OC settings but haven't notice too much of a performance jump. I also made sure the asus was put in performance mode. Do you have any suggestions on roms, kernel, and no frills cpu settings i should use to get a good performance boost?
I'm running Paranoid Android v2.54 with a modified version Of Unters kernel that can be found in the first 2 posted of the thread. You must use the version That Keegan modified. Read the OP and second post to find the link to the kernel. The ROM has a built in performance settings that allows adjusting of the speed and I/O. I really like the ROM. It works great with my dock too. It has many extra settings that the other ROMs do not have. Read the thread well.
Here the link to it. Keep in mind that there is a beta version also. I am not running that version.

Thanks a lot for the info I will definitely try this rom especially since i have a dock as well. I really love this tablet.
Correction..... The Untermensch kernel is located in the 3 post under EXTRAS, not the 2nd post.
