ROM Manager

Hey I was just browsing the market and decided to invest in Rom manager (used it religiously on my old Droid 1). Lo and behold we don't even have a cwm listed!
What needs to be done to have some of these roms I see on this board listed in that App?
Thanks and sorry for the noob question. (We need a Q and A board.)

You really should've looked a little as it's mentioned a billion times, BUT...
Just install CWM for the Galaxy S i9000, works perfect.

Would it be hard to add infuse to the cwm list in rom manager? So that way only infuse Rome would show up for people?

would have to work with Koush on that one. Don't see why not, we just need to get them separated... (Wouldn't be a bad idea seeing that really noobtastic people may pseudobrick their devices and need us to walk them through Odin restoral....)
I'm always one for lack of headaches. Keeps the real devs from having to field noob questions and pseudo-devs like myself with more free time to try and step up to full dev status....

You would want to check all 3 if it is your first flash, that way if something goes wrong you have a backup to restore, and the other two need to check because they are cache for your original rom, not the new one.

It's worth doing the backup of your stock setup.
Wiping the data isn't necessary unless you are a stickler about starting "fresh".
Dalvik cache wipe never hurts.

If you are coming from stock, you need to wipe all. It can cause issues, i have seen it. You get lots of force close, stuff that is removed from stock would still be there, which could also cause problems. Its better to do a full wipe when going from stock to a custom rom, and when switching custom roms.

I think I made a mistake, it reboot into recovery and I guess I was to wipe data and cache then reboot into cyanogen rom, but I did not wipe data and cache, Now it froze on me. What can I do, Did I just brick my phone?

[Q&A] Miui For Infuse Rom

Notice:
This thread is for general questions regarding MIUI FOR INFUSE ROM.

sticky please

I flashed miui about a week ago. The .30 edition.
Well I want to update and when I try to boot into cwm it just sits at Samsung screen.
I tried to flash the cwm through Tom manager and still nothing. =\

I was having the same problem booting into cwm. I followed LG_iiNsTiiNcT's directions that are below via the2rrell and I was able to boot Jordan's update. Thanks guys.
the2rrell said:
i have seen 2 fixes for this...... this is one of them from "LG"
Okay so if you were one of the few people who lost recovery for some weird reason "ME" no need to unbrick to stock and re-flash I have a solution.
1: Download sgs kernel flasher
2: Download CWM community kernel
3: Flash kernel via sgs kernel flasher "unchecked the reboot button" when done flashing turn phone of "SHUTDOWN"
4: 3 finger until the Samsung logo pops up keep holding the buttons the screen will go black then Samsung logo will come up, let go of the power button and keep hold the volume up and down buttons "For about 20 seconds" then let go it should boot into Red CWM after a few seconds.
5: Go to install zip from SD card go all the way down and run update.zip it will boot back into RED CWM run update.zip again and it should now boot into GREEN CWM
6: From here Re-Flash MIUI "New Release would be smart", Wipe Fact,Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik, Flash, reboot at sign of Samsung logo pull battery, 3 finger into blue recovery and flash again.
7: Presto you should be set and have recovery back.

Well I had great success with 1.9.23 and 1.9.30. Read about all the people having issues with CWM and laughed thinking they obviously did something wrong. Well lo and behold, updated to 1.10.7 and now I have no recovery. Gah! So what is my recourse? I flashed exactly as I did before so it wasn't user error. Anyone have a clue as to how to get Recovery back?

Voo-Doo??
I've ready everywhere about this rom but I cannot find the answer for this!
Do I need to turn off Voo-Doo lag fix for this rom??

[Bootanimation][CWM] BIOS - Tested on Octane-V3.0 XPLOD and Valhalla FINAL

Friends -
I take no credit for this. I found this boot animation in some other XDA forum and tested this with this Raver's ROM.
It runs smooth.
This is CWM flashable. Remember to take backup of your existing bootanimation.zip from /system/media location.
A BIG thank you to Raver and Krylon/ Honk for this ROM and Kernel.
***** I have tested this on Valhalla Final ROM as well. ******

Step 1: Using root explorer or similar app, go to /system/media
Step 2: Copy the existing bootanimation.zip file to /sdcard
Step 3: download the file in OP to your /sdcard
Step 4: reboot to recovery
Step 5: Install zip from sdcard and flash it
Step 6: reboot
Step 7 (optional): If you didnt like this new bootanimation and want the old bootanimation (pink unicorn) back ...using rootexplorer copy the bootanimation.zip (from Step2) to /system/media

I make a habit to clear it every time I flash something new. After you flash, you can wipe it in the Advanced menu in CWM. When your phone reboots, be sure to not touch ANYTHING and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to let it rebuild. If you don't, your phone will lag.
If you didn't give sufficient time for your phone to rebuild the dalvik cache, you can always go into the Advanced menu in CWM and wipe it again. You'll just have to wait the 10-15 minutes again.

[Q] Need Advice Loading [ROM][ICS 4.0.4]Genesis - Stable Build1 - CM9/AOKP Hybrid

Hello,
This is my first post here so go easy
I am trying to install [ROM][ICS 4.0.4]Genesis - Stable Build1 - CM9/AOKP Hybrid on LG P999 with no success. I rooted using super one click and made a backup. I flashed 5.0.2.0 to the device and tried loading Mr. Apocalypse's build following every instruction to the letter. The install appears to work fine allowing me to choose options and I get to the reboot prompt fine. I answered the baseband question and opted for the harsh kernel.
After reboot I get the white LG logo then the display dims and there are light leaks of varying degree but nothing after that. I waited about 45 minutes the first time and have waited up to an hour with nothing. I have tried [ROM][CM9][JUL13-Build80] Domination with similar results. I get to the reaper kernel image after reboot and that's as far as it goes. I followed all the instructions to the letter and I have no idea what is wrong.
Anyone that has a suggestion, other than buying a better phone, please let me know. Is there another method I can try?
Thanks in advance.

With Genesis, install it with the stock kernel, then after the first boot load harsh separately. Some phones get a boot loop with harsh in Aroma

I will give that a go, thank you very much for the advice. I will check in to let you know how it turned out.

Also, how did you flash CWM? If the answer is anything other than "NVflash" stop what you're doing and search in the dev section for NVflash

Yes, I used the command prompt on my PC to load the NVFlash image. From what I have learned reading that is the only way it will work correctly.
It is currently loading after the initial reboot and at the LG logo with the blue streak, which is encouraging.

Ok, that is good that you used nvflash to get CWM on your phone, that definitely wasn't the problem. Like he said earlier, could've been the kernel.

Still on the LG splash with blue, I am now considering dancing around the device wearing a tinfoil hat and a chickenfoot necklace... It would be incredibly cool if there was a way to pull a logfile after install or see one while the install is happening.
How long should this normally take? Almost 1 hr now..

Hahahaha, I almost laughed out loud at that. Umm, have you tried just a basic rom, like CM7? Just to compare if it works or something to see if it'll flash correctly and not your phone, and it might be a bad download for genesis. Just to be sure, it is indeed a P999?

I have a GB 2.3.3 on it now that loaded no problem. I tried that two days ago after several failed attempts. I am thinking its something here though because I couldn't get the ICS Domination ROM to work on it either. The GB ROM worked great after I flashed a new baseband to it. I had the static problem before that. It just doesn't want to cooperate with ICS. And the SD card is empty as well, I wanted to make sure there was enough room for a swap file.

I pulled the battery and it boots to the second LG logo and that's where it stays. I suppose both of the ROMs I tried could have been bad downloads, but idk., this has me flummoxed beyond belief. - and yes, it is a P999 (G2x) I bought about a year ago at a t-mobile store. I think it's time for a burial at sea for this thing!

There's always a fix. Possibly a bad download. You could try another CWM, the touch one, because I know a kernel doesn't flash on the touch one, but possibly those roms might flash on a touch recovery. Idk, I'm just babbling here.

Thanks again, and I will not give up on this, I am way more stubborn than that. I just flashed CWM v5.8.1.3 and restoring. I am going to try to load yet another variation of ICS and report the outcome. If nothing else, I do like this touch image I just loaded!

Have you tried doing a wipe before installing a rom? I've had times where known good roms won't boot just because I didn't wipe before installing it. If your gonna give this method a go try using this to wipe it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1854850

Success!
Thanks for all the advice, you guys rock!
I flashed the CWM touch and downloaded AOPK Milestone 6 4.0.4 just to see if it would load. I did the same procedure as I have with all the others and it worked. I guess it was the CWM version? IDK, Going to try to go back to Genesis tomorrow. Thanks again to each of you for all of your help and advice.

Good deal. I've been using CWM touch ever since it showed up in the forums for our phone, and I've never had a problem flashing anything

3G - 4G troubles?
I like it so far, much better than the older version I was using. I noticed this morning that I don't get any signal other than wifi. It looks like some people that did not opt for wifi were able to get signal after reinstalling with that option chosen. I did add the wifi initially, but no signal at all for data thus far. I didn't see any settings that I missed, the battery saver data stuff is unchecked and there aren't any others I could find. I am going to reinstall and hope it takes care of it.
A quick wipe and reload fixed it! :good:

If there would be a reset involved , I guess I'd wait for a rom that don't have to reset. It' so time comsuming to bring the phone back to where you were. Not so much the loss of picture sor music , it's more of the emails and contact merging.
Unless you really feel it's worth it then I'll consider
Thanks

sorry to hear that about ur device but wouldnt it help u better to ask that question on that roms page,i understand ur problem but i dont use liquid, so best advice i can give is to get ur phone into recovery mode and use a different rom and before u add the rom wipe ur cache

4.2 ROMs are still in beta mode. Expect little hiccups when you flash them. OK took me a few times of flashing before it worked for me.

gmail should automatically sync contacts and emails unpon phone set up. (cant take more then 5 minutes)
also look into titanium backup for individual app data.
wiping data and factory reset is a MUST for installing new ROMs.
if you think you "dont have the time for it", then i highly recommend you stay on your rom and read comments from others using the rom to see if it is worth the reset or you could just give up and go buy an iphone.

Honestly, I just had to say this is absolutely not true in all circumstances. Yes you should do so 8/10 times, but I can say personally that I've flashed over another ROM many times with no issues. Granted usually it was a new build of the same ROM and never going from say 4.0>4.1.2 or 4.1.2>4.2
Best of luck, I had some serious issues with Liquidsmooth (via a clean install) so I dumped it but hopefully it works out for you.

Ok, I'll resolve to fact that the LS Rom is in development and I should wait for a true version down the road. . Due to the situation I went back to the stock Rom and re-routed the phone. Since then, any Google search or Nav search, I get a Google error that Google has stopped working. I'll get the alert but the program will still work
Any ideas on what could of happened? Before the LS install, I had the recent stock Rom ( 4.1.1- I535VRBLK3) and was routed with no errors
Also, has anyone seen a tether app that works with JB. It seems that none of the tether apps work. I've noticed that on web searches of other forums and from the comments from users of the GNU.org program
Thanks for any help

Yeah.. So when is it okay and not okay to wipe? Between updates on the same ROM sure...
But I feel like your just gambling another 30 minutes of seeing or not a wipe is needed.
