You have to flash the zip in recovery like you did the ROM. Once done you will see the themes in the theme manager tab of Endy control.

1. If you are flsahing the ROM for the first time after a full wipe, just flash Endymion_V3.5_addons.zip immediately after flashing the Endymion_V3.5_base_release.zip. Flash it just like you would flash any other zip from recovery.
2. If you have already installed Endymion 3.5 and started using it without the addons package, take a nandroid backup, boot into recovery, wipe dalvik and cache, then flash the Endymion_V3.5_addons.zip. Flash it just like you would flash any other zip from recovery.

nandroid backup
i used 4ext recovery so a backup from that is also a nandroid backup or it has to be from cwm recovery

No need to use CWM, 4EXT will do just fine.

Both the recoveries use nandroid backups and are interchangeable with each other

hi there, I have used alpharevx on my phone and now is s off.. when it ask to install recovery I said yes. so the question is, how can I use that 4ext recovery ... and what's the benefits with this 4est recovery, I heard many people recommend that but I don't know the differences.. and if i want to use it, how do I get rid of the one the alpharevx install for me ? thanks a lot, please help ...
AlphaRevX tool downloads CWM recovery. 4EXT recovery is based on CWM but has a lot of different improvements, with most important being it's ability to convert partitions fs from ext3 to ext4 and vice versa, it also preserves ext4 partitions after restoring from recovery. Interface is greatly improved too.

there is no need get rid of the previous CWM install as flashing the new one will achieve this.
1) download EXT4 to SD card
2) restart into recovery
3) flash the ZIP from SD
bingo!
thanks for the replies guys, if I'm about to flash LBC custom ROM, what should I do first?
flash to ext4, then use LBC script for full wipe then flash ROM ?

Hey bro it's me from LYN lol.
Yeah just follow the steps on LBC website.
Wipe using the script given there. It will wipe everything to ext4 automatically.
Then install LBC right after that.

Thanks for the info man! Glad to see you here too!
Although it's also worth installing the ext4 recovery at the start as if you do it just before running the wipe script and LBC ROM it will save you over a dozen clicks and will be useful for the future.

so just rooted my HOX last night using the new 2.20 method
finally got the bootloader unlocked and installed twrp
figured out how to use twrp and tried to install paranoid rom...
from what i read on another thread i was to extract the boot.img from the rom zip and flash that boot.img from the pc
then restart in recovery/twrp and install the paranoid rom zip
restarted my phone and got to the loading screen for the paranoid rom but just hags
restarted in recovery/twrp and restored my backup
for some reason the restore didn't work and got the endless boot
went back into twrp and did a factor wipe which i think also removed my backup (which didn't work the 1st time anyways)
so now what lol? help.. basically all i can do now is get into twrp - is there a stock backup file i can use to restore from twrp?
you always need to "fastboot flash boot boot.img" from bootloader anytime you are flashing a new rom or backup you are restoring, but you should already know this if you could read.
also make sure you flash gapps if you are flashing a aosp rom.
also NEVER factory reset in bootloader which will corrupt your sdcard.
what you need to do now is what i said above, then rewipe everything in twrp, mount your sdcard in twrp and copy a rom from your pc to your sdcard, unmount sdcard from pc then unmount from twrp, then you can install rom and gapps if its a aosp rom. if you didnt already "fastboot flash boot boot.img" you can reboot into bootloader and run the command instead of reboot system.

yeah i did the fastboot flash boot boot.img for the paranoid rom - i think my problem was that i left the boot.img in the zip
rezipping now and trying to mount
goot tip on the factor reset from bootloader to bad i already did it lol
i have never modified the actual rom zip before and have never had a problem. it just takes a little longer to install. i am a md5 junkie and never modify offical releases.

setting up cm10 right now but i dont have a recovery backup to fall back on

Good job bro. Just *dont* do anymore factory resets in bootloader. Enjoy the Roms. Be careful with cm10 though. I been hearing of a few glitches in it. If anything arises, ask first and don't freak out

Well. That's a HUGE pain, and I'll tell you why
If you wanted a backup of stock, you would have to do this
1. Relock Bootloader
2. Run RUU
3. Unlock Bootloader
4. Flash TWRP
5. Backup your ROM
6. Wipe your System
7. Factory Reset
8. Flash CM10 boot.img
9. Flash CM10
10. Flash Google apps
and after that.. you have a stock backup, and you are back on CM10.. Now what if you wanted to revert to stock? Well... Sigh
1. Wipe System
2. Factory Reset
3. Flash boot.img from your backup
4. Flash your backup
and now you are back to your stock backup..
What's easier though.
1. Download a stock rooted ROM
2. Wipe system
3. Factory Reset
4. Flash the boot.img from stock
5. Flash stock
6. Make a backup
From here you can either keep stock, or go back to CM10. but, if switching between CM10 and your stock backup, you should wipe system and factory reset. you will need to flash the boot.img every time you switch
Stock rooted rom? Isnt that the ruu
Or are you talking about sense roms based off stock.
I basically want to be able to flash back to stock if i ever sell the phone

A stock rooted rom is.. a stock ROM with root installed.. some of them have removed AT&T apps (what we call bloatware)
You can't get root on a stock ROM unless you unlock your bootloader, flash twrp, then flash su.zip
If you want to sell the phone.. just relock the boot loader and run the RUU
Thanks!
Enlightened... If i may how do i handle nightly builds with cm10?.. The rom itself can check for updates but i also see them posted on the url link.. Whats the best way to keep flashing night lies without setting up my settings each time.. Should also mention already backing apps up with titanium pro with Dropbox

You can try an 'upgrade' which means you just flash overtop of your installation. I don't know if this will keep your settings. What it may do is break some stuff, if that's the case, do not report errors unless you have a clean install.
Your best bet is to find your favorite/stable nightly build and stick with it for a while
Good advice will stick with current until something major is updated in cm10..
But essentially i could make a backup of my current cm10 install and try other roms.. Then restore from backup to revert to cm10 with all my settings intact

Yes. But don't forget to flash the boot.img for your CM10 backup before flashing the backup.
The boot.img that came with the cm10 zip or the boot.img from the twrp cm10 backup

I used a mod ROM but I made a backup before doing that. The problem is that I use now CWM recovery (6.0.1.2) and I cannot restore the stock data. I get "Error while flashing boot image". I do not know what I am doing wrong
I go to restore from internal sdcard --> and I choose the restored backup
I have wiped all the data/cache & dalvik cash available. But still nothing. Does anyone know?
Did you use a different version of CWM recovery when you took the backup? If so it might have a different version of nandroid backup in it and be using a different backup format. If the CWM recovery is different, can't you put the original CWM recovery back on so the backup will restore with it?
Unfortunately I do not remember which recovery version it had but I am almost certain that it was the same version

An easy way to tell is to think about if you ever installed a new recovery. ROMs don't do that for you. ROM Manager has the ability to update your recovery image if you tell it to do so.
Your error is telling you that the recovery you have installed doesn't know how to handle the backed up boot.img. You could removed the boot.img from the backup and try restoring it again. Google it, if you don't know how to do that.
Does the MD5 check pass?
I just installed 4EXT Recovery, and it was able to restore my recent CWM recovery backups where CWM could not (>10,000 files bug). It appears that it doesn't support your device yet, but you never know.
Failing that, perhaps look at other alternatives. Maybe see if TWRP can restore CWM recovery backups, and if it supports your device.
Good luck.

Why you dont make a twrp backup instead of a cwm backup? To make a backup i recomand twrp had issues with cwm. Anyway if you did a backup with cwm try to restore bavkup, i had trouble with it.

Hi....
I am not from here.... Am from dhd section...
I got a galaxy R......
So I would have some questions regarding flashing and ROMs....
1. Can someone suggest some stable ics ROMs? ? Most of the ics ROMs are inactive now..... So I can't choose any...
2. Can I install 4 ext recovery?
It's simple and touch recovery too...
3. If I can't change cmw recovery what are things I should format before flashing a rom.... And where can I find the options I mean under which category in recovery...
All I see is factory reset and format cache...
Thanks in advance...

yes, you need to wipe all things first (i.e. data,system & Caches) & Then flash ICS Stock ROM first coz of stability issues.

0. copy zip file of Rom, Gapps(if required by rom), Ardatdat's kernel into your sdcard
1. wipe data/factory reset(along with dalvik cache)

4. flash Ardatdat's kernel
5. perform factory reset(along with dalvik cache)

Yes, above steps are just to be on safe side. You can install frankenstains mod after factory reset and wiping dalvik caches and skip mentioned step..
I thought you wanted stock ics.
AFAIK there isnt any stable custom ics rom. for stable rom you need to adjust with touchwiz only.
You can always install a custom launcher, like Nova or Apex which give a pure AOSP feel.
