I'm getting conflicting answers.

I started using the cm7 nightly's today & i'm getting different answers on which to wipe between nightly's. Cache AND Dalvick or just one of them? Some ppl are saying u only have to wipe cache, i've seen just Dalvick & i've seen both. I'd asssume both but don't want to go thru an extra step if it's unnecessary. Thanks alot guys

Oh & is rom manager really safe to use? Can't i just use rom manager for the download & go into recovery manually & do it there? Thanks againe

It really depends on what changed in the nightly. It never hurts to wipe both, but it is usually the case that the system is smart enough to just rebuild odexes for the things that have changed therefore, I'd just go with the cache. I rarely wipe anything between CM7 flashes even many builds apart, but I live on the edge.

I've never used ROM manager so I can't say, but that sounds like the way to go.

I've had bad luck w/ Rom Mgr soft-bricking my phone. I prefer CWM.

Ok, thanks alot guys! I just wanted to make sure & yea, rom manager just doesn't feel as comfortable to me as doing it manually where can see what's going on & abort & restore if i can see something not going right. Mainly i just wanted to know if it was ok to download the rom from rom manager & then do it manually from there. Thanks again fellas :')

[Question] Kernel flashing and matrix kernel specifically.

Hello everyone!
Phone: nexus s 3g running stock 4.0.3 with matr1x 14.0 kernel
my 1st question:
i was wondering how can revert back to stock kernel without flashing my stock rom again or going back to my previous backup?
i know it is very easy to switch from kernel to kernel but i would like to know how to switch back to my stock kernel. If you come across a link please send it to me. Thanks much appreciated.
my 2nd question:
my phone reboots the 1st time when loading up matrix kernel.
what happens is i press the power button .. the phone boots up normally then halfway through the animation it gets stuck and the phone reboots BUT this time the boot animation works properly and i am finally booted to my phone. Note that i have absolutely no issues running the kernel + BLn + Voodo etc (also not oced either)
question how can i solve this? is it normal?
I have one last question (sorry lol)
about voodo colour is there anyway of removing the grren flash that i get from unlocking the phone.
i know i can reset to 2.3.3 colours and that does do the trick but i would like to use my own custom settings..

stock 3.0.8 kernel can be found here in 3rd post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399273
Questions regarding matrix should be asked and may already be answered in his thread
And green flash is common on kernels with voodoo it also turns screen green occasionally for me when auto brightness set
not sure how to fix haven't researched doesn't bother me that much

Alright...
First off is this a specific rom? Like kustom kream, nexus beam..
Or just stock ics rooted
Second, try this again.
Get the rom zip again, then get the kernel zip again.
1. Wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache
2. Flash rom
3. Set up rom
4. Go back to cwm
5. Wipe dalvik cache
6. Flash kernel
7. Reboot
Did you do it like that?

Green flash can be fixed by downloading the voodoo control app in the market then going to the RGB profiles then selecting the voodoo profile

Green flash can be fixed by using either 2.3.3 colors or punchy

im on offical ICS 4.0.3 rom stock (rooted) with matr1x 14.0 CFS
well i downloaded matr1x through rom manager and after wiping dalvik cache i flashed the kernel.
is there anyway of fixing without clearing data? i have a lot of stuff on my phone i would rather not erase... also im on stock ICS so how would go about flashing it again(its not like a rom i can just dl and install or is it)?
speaking of which i know titanium backup backs up apps but does it also backup like my contacts, sms and phone settings etc?
update: i went ahead and only deleted cache and dalvik cache and then installed the kernel again. same problem =/

I'm 17! You want to teach me the basics of modifying roms? How'd you learn? The reason I'm asking is I'm gonna major in computer engineering at Drexel University in Philadelphia. I know Java already.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

exact same problem ....
followed ur steps perfectly.
anyways i just restored everything back.
wow your 16 !
im 16 aswell i dont even know the 1st thing about making kernels and so forth lol.

Lol sorry you couldnt get it to work...
The only other suggestion I have is to try another rom...
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

thanks for trying .
anyways the thing is the kernel works perfectly fine other then that and sinc ei dont reboot my phone so much its really not an issue for me.

just another quick thing since that is the only problem i have experienced with the kernel and that everything else is fine working fine should i be worried about stability?

No, the kernel is pretty stable out of the box.

retarded i might be but can you tell me where you downloaded the file? i saw the thread on rootzwiki but i didnt see the link to download the actual 010 only the links for 009 and the beta versions of 10 ultimate. i think i read that beta 3 is the same release but i wanted to confirm.
thanks
nvm... i am retarded. for anyone else as oblivious as i, its after "Installation instructions"... not at the bottom of the post by the release info...

Still can't get this combination to work. I've done multiple wipes. Even used wipe tools. Any more suggestions?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Yup. Boot into CWM and format cache, data and system partitions. Wioe dalvik cache and then flash darkside. Odin back stock. Flash CWM. Flash darkside again. The flash sky ics. Reboot. TWICE. Then flash faux 010m.
I know it seems long but it'll take 10 min, tops. I can guarantee it'll completely fix your problem

Has something to do with external SD... I remove it and everything works. Works fine with faux 9.

Finally for it to work! But one thing I had to do was flash 6.75, then the kernel 10 without rebooting. Then boot and add Gmail account and reset. Then flash the 7.4 update.

lol I could have told u that. A non working camera indicates an improper flash, or remnants left over from previous roms, NOT a permission problem

I have the same issue, non working stock camera. I have to use a 3rd party app to take pictures. I did a full wipe using the wipe codes reflashed rom with kernel while wiping cache and dalvik and sti have the same issue. Has anyone found a fix to this?

Help with ROM Flash

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this problem I am having. I have tried to flash the Synergy RLS1-Shift ROM onto my EVO Shift and with both version of it that are available here it says that it installs fine, then to reboot, but when I reboot it stays locked on the white HTC boot screen. Do I need to fix permissions or something before rebooting the system to get the ROM to work? Any help is appreciated.
*BTW, before flashing I wipe the Dalvik Cache etc... like all of the threads say to do when it comes to flashing a new ROM*

Are you s off rooted of s on

Which Mik Rom are you running now ? Did you download the Synergy RLS1-Shift ROM over WiFi, or Hardline. Did you check the MD5 checksum ? What is exactly was your Flashing process ? I know you said you wiped " Dalvik Cache etc " .

Mik runny rk speedy is the ROM I am using. I downloaded the synergy ROM over both wifi three times, and twice on 4g. I wipe the dalvik 3x then the cache 3x then the system/user 3x. I admit I haven't checked the checksum on them. All the other roms I have tried, including the one I am on now have been downloaded using the save wifi connection.

I just checked the md5 checksum and both files match what is given in the thread for the Synergy RLS1-Shift Rom.

That's not really a Full Wipe. Try doing a Full Wipe, and Flash according to the Guide in THIS Thread.

Thanks, I will try that tomorrow. Quick question, is there anyone working on a sense ROM with ICS? All the ICS roms I have found haven't between with HTC sense.

Following that wiping process worked, I must have had some kind of conflict with files that did not clear before. Thanks again!!

YouTube Buffering Issues on Open Source ROMs

Hi All,
Is there a fix for youtube buffering issues. My youtube sits on the buffering signal icon. Any tricks and help will be appreciated.

Same problem here. It seems to affect only certain flashers though. I went to a tw Rom for a minute just to check it out and now am trying to get back to cm11 or an AOSP based rom, but can't get YouTube to play. It just sits there buffering. I have experienced this on mastamoons Cm11 builds and slim.

Probably rom specific, you could try another rom and get back to it once the dev ironed out the issue.

No, it's not ROM specific. It is however open sourced specific. It has happened to me on CM11, beanstalk, and SlimKat.

Do you have any Adblock app installed? also check your hosts file. If you unable to find the root cause, I would just do a clean install: wipe cache/dalvik cache/system/data/ and format sdcard, this will wipe all the residual stuff on your phone and a super clean install. Sometimes if you have a bad configure file in your system and just wipe data and reinstall rom won't wipe it. After all Youtube is just an app that can be installed as system app or user app.

I think I will try the super clean install. When I format the sdcard, does that mean I have to odin a stock file unlock the bootloader again? appreciate your help btw buhohitr.

No, you don't have to Odin stock rom. When you wipe system it will delete your current O/S, when you wipe sdcard, all your stuff store on the phone will be gone like pictures, video, music etc... Once you done with all the wipes, just use custom recovery and reflash your favorate rom, I would try something less risky like custom TW rom (CM is risky) and see if that works with youtube, if it does then do a clean install again but this time don't do "format sdcard".

Any update on a fix for this problem?

Not for me. I tried all the suggestions in this thread to no avail. I think the only thing left is to odin back to stock. Just a hunch but i have a suspicion that there may be some fragment left behind from other rom flashes or possibly a remnant from exposed. Funny thing is, on a tw rom, all is good. As soon as i go back to an open source rom like cm11 or slimkat, youtube will not load on lte.
