Yes, do it. Gives time for the new rom and kernel to settle into the CPU.

It's best, trust me. Especially is there was lots of modifications and scripts put into it

Hahaha.Continuation of the battery smell topic?
You guys got to be kidding. It's a computer not an animal. If there are start up scripts i would think they will load when you are at the boot screen.

Yes they would start but won't finish until boot up process finishes, meaning by the time you see your home screen after a flash they're still running and setting everything.

Yea, I have to say, ten minutes is extreme, sure, there may be some runonce scripts or something that take an extra 30 seconds or so, but if anything once you get all your stuff loaded only then will you want to wait a moment for all your apps to be granted SU permission (that ones that need it at least) and the last bits of the system to load.

ext4 before rom- broke charge?

After i did the ext4 mod (system etc. Not partition) before the rom i can't charge my phone while it's off. it stays as a grey battery. i also restored to another rom and still the same thing. i tried to two different phones. same on both.
Im having the same problem but it seems to charge just fine when your inside the rom. I'm running bionix frost.

I'm getting the same issue. I have to take out the battery, unplug the usb/charger, then power on phone to get it to power on. If I don't do this it will keep going back to the huge battery screen if I press and hold the power button.

this is one of the problems
its because of the rom, im looking into a fix now
i read in the ext4 mod thread thats an issue with charging when its off. the phone doesnt look for the ext4 format so it doesnt charge unless the phone/rom is booted up or something like that, not sure about any workarounds.
Are you sure its not charging? Or just the green charging animation is broke? Cause mine looks like what your talking about but it actually does charge. Did it last night powered up the phone this morning and it was at 100%

its simple yet slightly complicated
im not sure if the ext4 converter i gave you guys will allow the fix, i ended up finding another ext4 formatter(which is where i got the rfs formatter to go back to orginal state)
and with the new ext4 formatter i had to flash a rom twice in a row
this made the system into rfs but left data and cache at ext4, i guess system doesnt need to be ext4 for the phone to perform well because i still got the same quad scores

The phones are meant to do that...I think. Both this phone and my vibrant act that way while its turned off charging. Just unplug the phone and hold power button till it reboots.

Who doesn't wipe???

Due to the recent departure of a certain dev, I've become curious who doesn't do a full wipe before flashing a new rom and why you wouldn't. Is there some unseen benefit I'm unaware of?
I think the more important question is who doesn't make a backup? I've learned from losing stuff to backup anytime I flash anything. No matter how safe it should be.

Same with me. This is what I usually do. However if i do have issues arising, i flash again after wiping.

exactly. ive been doing this since my droid1 and hasnt failed me yet.
Wiping is honestly a pain, if I'm switching to a new ROM I'll wipe, but if I'm just upgrading then I won't. The only time I've hoenstly ever had a problem was wiping and restoring, I've had some weird errors when doing that (Home and Search button wouldn't function).
I thought on these phones you had to wipe it 20 times???
But I agree, if you are changing ROMS and not updating to a new version of the same ROM, you should wipe.

Would there be a way of asking it without alluding to some well known recent event? Anyone in the know is gonna make that assumption no matter how I posed it, so why not just be honest? That made me want to ask, after wondering in my own head for a long time, and I honestly would like to know why someone would flash one ROM over another. What kind of luck have they had? I've done it a couple times just being in a hurry and nothing pretty ever came of it. That's all. We've chatted in IRC. You seem like a good guy. Not looking for bad blood.

Soft key backlight disable?

Hi guys,
I'm running SGS4G with KJ6 rom and drhonks KJ1 Kernel + voodoo lagfix + cwm recovery + debloater.zip + KD1 modem
I love my phone and I use a screen filter app to dim the screen even lower to save batt, still though those annoying soft key lights are blinding at night and surely wasting power...
My question is, is there any Devs out there who would be willing to write a .zip or .tar that I could flash that would completely disable the soft key backlights? They really serve no purpose, we all know where they are, they do not change, why do they need to be illuminated? Anyway I would write the code myself if I had the first clue where to start....
I googled and found an app that will does just what you want as long as your super user is upated and you are rooted...
download screen filter in market
it has an option to disable the lights
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Did you think that posting a link to said app might be a good idea? Just a thought... I already use screen filter and it does have the option to disable softkey lights but it does not work on my SGS4G.

HELP!!!!!

my one x started going crazy yesterday, pressing its own buttons and what not. i rebooted and it stopped. now today its doing it again and it wont stop no matter what. i tried nandroid, factory resetting. can i use kennethpenns stock 1.85 update tool to go back stock in case i have to send it in? how does that work? does anyone have any advice?
is it the capacitive buttons? do you have a really tight case on the phone by any chance?
no gunny, phones naked and has never been dropped or seen water... havent really flashed anything in the last 5-6 days... its throughout the system... even happens in twrp, no matter what rom im using.... when i get home ill try to get an official update and see what happens... but i did notice its mainly in one spot, mainly middle right of the screen... example would be in the calculator app in portrait, it keeps pressing the number 6
Weird. Hope you get an easy fix.

best way is to relock and ruu
and use stock for a while see if it happens again..
if so...go exchange lol
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app
That's what I'm looking to do... but Im Trying to read up on relocking before I try first.. never done it yet and I don't know anything about adb and fast boot, much less to ruu. But what's the odds of art or HTC rejecting me because of the boot loader stating "relocked"? Or was this fixed? And also what's the odds of rerooting? Should be good as long as I ruu 1.85 I believe.. that's what I was on when I rooted
Once you unlocked you can always unlock again. I wrote a adb primer. It's a sticky in general.

I just brought my "other" g2x online today with my personal creation (cleanup batch), followed by CM7 install. The same phone that was constantly overhearing, rebooting and what not was working fine all day today.
I recommend a wipe followed by fresh install.

Cleanup batch = ROM for recovery - ROM push. Search in development thread.
I prefer it over ROM for recovery as it does not push T-Mobile stock, so you can go straight to CM7. With ics or jb read the fix for internal sdcard.
