Quick Question! First to answer gets a free Pie!

Ok I know I have another thread but its used up, been abused, and I don't know how to delete it...so Mods, Do what you will with that old thread, slap it around like the naughty (of age) girl that it is, I have moved on to bigger and better things.
Anyways, now that we can move forward...
QUESTION TIME!!! The time where the average user can shine like a knight, riding through the mist of a dark and mysterious woods, to save us average folk whom know little of the world of flashing but are trying their best.
*cough*
OK! Here it is...
I flashed my Desire S to STOCK and MARKET and YOUTUBE were not functional...force closing, calling me names, I enjoyed it but wanted my Market and Youtube to work so I performed the RESET FACTORY DATA TECHNIQUE!!!
After that all was well, but BUT here lies the question's (Ha! tricked you! there are TWO questions!!!)
1. It deleted "Clock mod thingy"...do I need it to flash another rom? and where can I get this delicious slice?
2. If I needed the Europe Stock Rom (I'm in Canada but my Desire S is from Europe...love at first swipe) can I use ANY rom on this forum? Or does it have to be specific to my Desire S with a sexy accent?
On a side note I retained the "Super User" app after I factory reset my device...is that good?
Anyways answer away, and I will hand out a delicious PIE (Do what you will with it, eat it or...?)
hehehe

Ok installed "ClockworkMod" and selected Desire S and...I am thinking I didn't even need it right, if I choose to flash from the recovery menu of the phone. I will leave it on just incase.
I hope someone answers the above original questions soon, the pie is getting all cold and eaten... *nom nom*

I would say you do need a custom recovery, ie CWM but would recommend 4ext set my signature. As you'll need this to take backups.
you've not said but I'm guessing you're s-off? So any custom ROM should be fine. Look in the INDEX thread in development for options
It's very good that you still have su as you should still be rooted.
It would help to provide ROM versions and hboot screen within posts

Hi.
Love the humour in your post. Don't get me wrong... but it's a bit distracting from the actual matter at hand and information is still lacking.
Would've helped if you'd mentioned a few things:
1. Is your phone branded? (I'm guessing not, since you're using a European handset in Canada)
2. What Hboot version do you have, the old or the new one?
3. How did you get S-off? (XTC-Clip or Revolutionary)
4. Is your root access intact? (Try installing Titanium backup and see what it says regarding root access and busybox... )
5. Is it imperative you have a stock ROM? It's no issue using inter-region ROMs nowadays and restrictions are negligible. If you can, i suggest you either flash Hyperion or Endymion ROM to set up the phone once... then you can go flash whatever the hell you fancy once you have a nandroid backup on atleast one of them.
If you are non-branded, s-off with root access and on the old hboot and willing to try out a little fooling around..., follow the undermentioned steps :
1. Install 4EXT Recovery. (Link in my Sig)
The clock mod "thingy" is good but 4EXT is waaay better! You can do this by flashing a 4EXT Recovery zip while in recovery, or via adb or via the free app 4EXT Recovery Updater or the paid app 4EXT Recovery Control (It's like ROM Manager, only much better)
2. Take a nandroid backup using the Recovery control app or from within the recovery. (Its in the backup / restore option)
3. Download and transfer a custom ROM to the root of your sd card. (If you want a custom sense 3.5 ROM, link is in my sig - It's Endymion. Just install v2.0 right now. No need to migrate to v2.1 just yet. Lets set up the ROM first)
4. While in Recovery, do a factory reset/ wipe data for system, cache and dalvik... Better yet to go ahead into the "wipe / format" sub menu and use the option "formal all partitions (except sd card)"
5. Now choose the option : "install from sdcard" and choose the ROM zip file which you had put on the root of your sd card.
6. Once its flashed, reboot... and let us know what happened.

OK thanks guys I will try this stuff once I get off work. It is s off for sure, and I was able to install titanium. Once this 12 hour shift is done I will be back with screen shots of all my info, thanks guys (typing From my phone...maybe I should get the xda app)

So yeah...I mean if there are no apps I care to save, do I really need to back up anything?
Can't I just flash any rom from this forum but using volume down+power/Recovery to flash the roms and be done with it? Thats how I got this working on stock (It was running saga3d or something by proxiuser or something...Sorry I dont have much experience with this but am trying to explain things. I got the phone USED and already Unlocked and Rooted)
So do I need to do any back up's if I dont care about apps? My contacts are on my sim card so I am cool there.

Oh and sorry for the double post but...
I would like a suggestion for a rom. I am looking for the most graphical intensive, beautiful rom I can possibly find to make my iphone 4 using wife jelly of Android : )

Ok! Trying the "Miui" rom...it looks pretty...lets see if I can do it without bricking my phone and then having to find some creative way to off myself.

***It worked! Yay I get to live another day! ^_^ I think I have a grip with this flashing roms thing...I didnt root my device though, the previous owner did so I need to learn that still***

Congratulations. Happy to help.
Btw as far as roms go... There is nothing better than Endymion for the desire s. Link is in my signature.
Just take a nandroid backup of the miui you are using and try Endymion. You can always restore it if you do not like Endymion... (extremely unlikely)
P.S. : Where's my pie???

You will not regret Endymion. My personal assurance on that.
And if you like more eye candy... then liamstears theme v1.8 is a wonderful addon.
I'm tweaking it a little bit to fix the beats audio bug there... and testing it on my device. lemme know if you want a go at it and i'll upload it for you...
EDIT: It worked. Beats audio fixed!!

You need to flash the theme via recovery. You can download it from the addon thread... There's a new version out... V1.9 so flash that instead of v1.8...
Just do a search for liamstears theme on dhd forum and look for liamstears rcmix3d runny theme animation
I'm at work so can't send the link right now . Will post it after I get back home.
Remember to take a nandroid backup before flashing...!

[Q] Can't flash Custom kernels on NEXUS S 4g

Noob question??
I've had the HTC Evo 4G for the last month and a half, and before I even purchased it, after talks with old friends of Jailbroken iPhones I had decided I was going to jump into modding headfirst when I got my smartphone, and since that day I've flashed, downloaded, backed up, and restored more things than I could count, learned how to swamp myself out of bricks, learned which kernels sucked and which ones didn't, etc...all the typical XDA stuff.
My girlfriend has a Nexus S 4G that she got 2 weeks afterward, and she has absolutely no interested in the development side of the phone, she wouldn't learn what AOSP meant if you paid her a dollar, but she wants her phone to be awesome. I am trying. HOWEVER...I haven't found success flashing a kernel over any custom rom on her phone YET! I have flashed the stable CyanogenMod7.1 as well as assorted nightly builds, MIUI, the one and only sense rom the Nexus can run properly, and that's all went over fine, but every kernel i've attempted flashing thusfar (Trinity, TalonAce, v7 snap kernel, Nexus Netarchy kernel, and a few others) have either stuck me at a splashscreen that wiping the dalvik and cache partition would not fix, or locked me at the initial black screen with the google logo and lock underneath for indescriminate amounts of time...essentially a brick, not a bootloop. This is the first time i've felt I am truly at a point where no amount of research and reading will be able to empower me to help myself so...help a n00b out here?? Am I doing something wrong??

She is currently running a themed MIUI build 110280 with the stock kernel. Anybody run into this problem or one similar yet? I looked and looked for a thread and found nothing..

flash the rom, flash the gapps(if needed), flash the kernel, then boot. be sure its a latest rom build, because most of the kernels are updated to support the latest android versions. also, if it doesnt boot, sometimes pulling the battery for 3 minutes then sticking it back in and booting helps. if that doesnt work, try flashing the rom and gapps, booting, then back into recovery to flash the kernel separately. dont use rom manager, flash in recovery.

Did all of the above before posting this. Trust me if it as something that simple I wouldn't be here lol

have you tried a different rom?
try this kernel, its one of my favorites. and its miui compatable http://morfic.euroskank.com/simka/TEUV-S22-04102011.zip
its underclocked at 880mhz, undervolted for great batter life, and the gpu/bus is overclocked to 220mhz(10%) for performance. this little 880mhz kernel runs like its overclocked to 1.2ghz.

also, flash this dalvik-wiper.zip before flashing the kernel. if you are using clockworkmod recovery, it doesnt completely wipe your dalvik, this will http://goo.gl/lgO1v

Are you guys serious?? Read the OP...
I have tried different roms, yes, several, and different kernels to flash. It's not an issue of performance or anything, just that I can't get the dang kernel on the phone in the first place. The link for the dalvik wiper wont help me either, as, like I've already stated, I am using Amon-Ra

a few things..
first off, you havent stated anywhere that youre using Amon Ra. 2nd, Amon Ra doesnt make a recovery for the nexus s, i know that because hes a friend of mine. next, instead of saying that youve tried it already, try it again, things change. also, you dont have to be rude about it, just trying to help YOU. which leads me to.. see ya, im not going to waste my time and try to help you

Wanna bet? I could take a pic of me in the recovery on Nexus S easily right now.

then post it troll
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

Eh, whatever, your posts still weren't helpful in either case...I didn't ask for your rom and kernel preferences, I asked about a hard/software malfunction of some sort. I know what kernel and what rom i'm going for, what I CANT figure out is how to get past this brick wall. Maybe you missed the "impatient" part in the bump, whereas my newness kept my post about the recovery from going through (only 1 per 5 minutes, apparently...didn't even notice). Anyone else that actually went through this problem wanna give it a shot?

@esteway
Never been a troll a day in my life. I've been on xda constantly for the last month seems like, but I've never even been inclinated to join this forum, let alone troll in it. And now the one time I need help no one else either has the problem or knows how to fix it. My recovery makes no difference whatsoever, if I had a modded recovery that isn't either clockwork or amon ra like my cousin has (although I don't know how in the world he got it) my problem still remains. If you can't help me, beat it. You're the one trolling, you weren't even in our conversation.

Youre the one saying u can post the pic so.... prove it. As for your problem I never herd of that issue.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

it could be an amon ra recovery that someone ported or built from source, thats possible. it is open sourced, and most recoveries are based on it. but if it is, id flash another recovery because the one you have would be out of date. since you havent tried that, you should try. both clockwork and twrp recoveries are good.

ANYTHING is possible on these phones if given enough time and attention, and I'd assume anyone who frequents these forums as often as either of you do should know that much, so thank you simms. I've seen a modded or black market version of almost every app i've ever downloaded lol I don't say no to anything being possible in android userspace
Anyway, twrp? I've never heard of that one before. Is it more fully functional than clockwork? I'll be trying it out. I'll try ANYTHING out, I just want this to go away...I feel like the only one who has ever run into this problem

Here's the tread to twrp http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196500
It is a bit different than clockworkmod mod but give it a try see if it fixes your problem.

Dual-Boot ROMs? - Sounds crazy but I'm curious...

Is it possible to dual-boot ROMs on the Sensation?
I wouldn't be asking this if I understood more about the Sensation's and Android's framework but why not try right?
Anyone heard of such a thing?
That would be radical!

It would certainly be cool! I'll give you that!
Sort of like how my PC stops after the bios screen and asks me if I want to boot into XP or Linux.
I'd think you'd need a modified bootloader to pull it off though. Something that could recognize 2 ROMs being available.
And the way Android runs, I think you'd absolutely need a partitioned internal storage so the files for 1 couldn't interfere with the files of another.

on my old HD2/Leo, the way they did it is a modified bootloader (Mag/CLK) and installing the rom to SD card.. you could theoretically boot as many roms as you wanted (ie have Gingerbread, ICS, WM6.5, and WM7 Mango on the same phone)

Yes, you can dual boot on Sensation.
There is an app called Boot manager.that supports the sensation and it let's you boot, not only 2 ROM but up to 4!
Downside? Is not free, but it's not expensive either.

Sounds dumb .. but you can boot a bunch of roms ..
Just install the rom .. make a CWM Backup or a 4ext Backup
Then you can switch between roms like hats and in just a few minutes
I have 6-8 different roms that I play with ..

Will this work on the Samsung exhibit ii

Yeah but it's still somewhat different from turning on your phone and being able to pick what ROM you want to boot, instead of having to wait to restore from backup.

that's all good but notice that it doesn't support ics yet. Only reason I didn't get it.

Finally Rooted my Glacier!

Soo excited, i was afraid to do it for past few weeks, but finally decided to do it, lol had no prior experience on rooting and this was my first phone rooting EVER, but following guides helped me and downgraded, temp root, than perm rooted with S off , and finally a custom ROM without a problem in like 1 hour XD.
See pics below of my MT4G running the MIUI ROM.
So basically i was wondering what rom i should get(already bored of the MIUI XD), just give me some suggestions, and also what else can i do with perm root S-Off except for flashing roms and installed root only apps, is there anyways i can possibly change the Bootscreen where it says MyTouch 4g to something else? thanks

first off, congrats buddy, and welcome
personally i really like miui, the themeing and customization imo is one of the most powerful and best on a rom, and it's cm7 based, gotta love dat cm7
the new ICS, now that the camera works, and actually even before the camera (but having one is better than not), is what i'm running right now and i'm loving it alot, super smooth like butter.
have fun flashing

be careful with this part. If u brick your phone, and it doesnt have the original splash screen, you 99.99999% wont be able to get a warranty replacement if u turn it on and it gets stuck on the splash screen saying anything but the official logo. I love customizing, but after bricking my last phone just by taking the battery out, I've chosen not to take risks like that. thats the only thing im keeping the same.

Facial recognition does not work in IceColdInsomnia 6.2.1. A planned update will include that feature (read the OP, it's all in there). If you're dying to try out face recognition unlock, give Zip's Creamed Glacier a shot. However, his version is completely stock (AOSP) whereas IceColdInsomnia is AOKP, meaning it has been modified with tweaks and customizations, the most significant which is ROM Control. It basically gives you a few more options in the settings to tweak to your liking; it also includes the option to skip tracks by long-pressing the volume buttons while the screen is off. That is one feature I cannot live without...
Anyways, yes, you wipe everything and flash it. You can disregard the kernel posted at the link because one is already included in the ROM.

check out "Zips Creamed Glacier"

the most well rounded ICS Rom in my opinion is "Zips Creamed Glacier"
*usb works
*facial recognition works
*low mic issue has been resolved.
*both cameras are working
i've been using it for the past three days and i don't have anything negative to say. check it out im pretty sure u guys won't be disappointed.

Personally I believe this ROM is the best:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563576
It combines the two best ICS ROMs together, forming the most optimal one for now. Too bad the download has been taken down for the time of being.

I finally talked my wife into letting me root her mt4g. I jumped into mine too fast and had issues. Actually I had my bootloader unlocked by htc, and it took me many tries to reverse the damage of HTC method, but i finally got mine right. But today, from the time i pryed it outta her hand til i finished, took me about 10 to 15 minutes, since i have all the files in the right places. Im pretty good now, but i was just ignorant a few weeks ago! I enjoyed doing hers. But she didnt want ics yet, so i put Darkside Sense 4 on hers for now. I am waiting just a tad bit longer, the I'm gonna move on to ics...

I am currently running Zips Creamed Glacier 3.11. Its awesome apart from a few small issues. But Zips has promised to resolve them and bring in some more awesome goodies. Can't wait. You should give this ROM a try.

Roms??

What's the best rom?

it depends on what you want, in my opinion newSENSE is the best (so far)

I'll second the vote for newSENSE. Supreme Sense was pretty smooth for me and the animations were nice. I've tried many ROMs but tend toward the sense varieties and nothing has been quite as snappy (IMHO) as newSENSE. Especially with the ICS theme (hint, hint, wink, wink, somebody)...

All depends on what you like, and how you use your device. But at least you have a lot of good choices .

I did do a full wipe, did dalvik and everything multiple times. Even left it trying to boot for a good 20-30 minutes, it never takes that long on a first boot (or didn't before anyway lol).

yeah youre right it doesnt take that long on initial boot. thats odd as hell
id try to flash it again and if it doesnt work theres always supreme sense

That's really odd Try re-downloading the Rom, then do a Full Wipe according to the link in my Sig. Then flash the Rom. What Recovery are you using?

haha, I did all that, twice.
I've still got ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0.
I'll try it again and leave it run for a while longer and see what happens. Killing time at work more than anything today

weird. Third download of the ROM and it looks like it flashed just fine this time. Just an annoyance I guess.

Hope you were downloading over WiFi. Never download a rom off the network. It can get corrupt

Always check the md5 before flashing. Also as an FYI - im working on a new recovery for the shift based on cwm with elements from amon-ra and others, its going to include the SuperWipe (will wipe everything including system multiple times the user selects).

Actually i may hit you up to test. Its almost ready for release. I just added a terminal emulator and a file manager (copy, move and delete). The SuperWipe allows you to select 1 to 5 times and its automated. I've gotten rid of the no,no,no,no,no,yes,no,no thats common in cwm to do anything with a simple no and yes lol. Ive added 0mb to sdcard partition so you can remove sd-ext now also when adding one, you get to select ur fs (ext2, ext3 and ext4). Added option to upgrade/downgrade existing ext fs without losing data. Ive re-organized the main screen - now theres a wipe menu for all the relevant wipes. Other stuff I forget lol.
