I wouldn't complain about CM10 not working too much, it's in Alpha for Pete's sake. Unless you're a pretty advanced dev type, I'd give it a while before having any expectation of a decently stable and functional CM10 build.

This is an issue that is listed in the OP of the CM10 post. I would recommend reading as much as you can about a ROM before installing it, especially if it's an alpha rom.

Go to menu, settings, applications, manage applications and erase all data. Then try again. If that does not work uninstall the apk file you downloaded and try installing a new one from www.RCmix3D.blogspot.com

Download and flash the universal gapps package ...(for CM7)(top of page in the center )
just click the link ,and the file will download right to your device .
then boot to recovery and flash it just like the rom ....dun
Happy flashing ....g
ok i downloaded the link to my device, now once im in recovery mode, what do i select? do i install zip from sd card? or wipe data/factory reset or what. i just dont wanna **** anything up lol. sorry im a total noob to this.
and when i bring the gapps up in ROM manager, a window thats says " rom pre-installation comes up. and has 1. backup existing rom, 2.wipe data and cache, and 3. wipe dalvik cache. the third is the only one selected. do i need to change any of this?
Install zip from SD card, it could be in the download section of your SD card. That's where mine was.
I.didn't wipe anything when I did it and I turned out OK. But if you get bootloops, pull the battery, boot back into recovery and wipe everything then install.
Btw I'm still learning but its a fun learning experience.

Well it seems like my last post wasnt learned from so now I have to repost it again.
This is the second thread you have opened without searching even after I advised you to do so. a search for "google apps on cyanogen" took me to this
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps
As per your posts your new so please spend a few hours reading up before doing anything like running a CM based rom as there are things that only effect CM based roms.
Use recovery to flash things not rom manager (didnt know that was even still used lol)
hell, you didnt even have to leave XDA to find the information....ya know, since its in the FIRST EFFING POST on the CM thread.....

[Q] Please Help :(

First off, this is my first post (Woopty doo horraaaay) and I desperately need help.
I have a Wifi-Only Motorola Xoom, it used to be on 3.2.1, and I had it rooted, with only using the Tiamat 2.2.2 Moray root.
I've been wanting to upgrade to ICS for a while, and I finally am. I've had to reset my xoom back to stock 4 or 5 times now, and I'm annoyed and want to do it right. Starting off, my Xoom is starting on ICS, unlocked, unrooted.
I've done many different orders of stuff. First, I flashed the clockwork recovery mod, and then I go into it, and installed the EOS-Wingray-60, but after I did that, when I start up the xoom, it never loads, it stays on the "Team EOS" boot animation. I tested it, and left it on all night, and woke up and it was still on team eos. Next, I tried installing the universal root, (It worked), and THEN I installed the Wingray-60. Same problem, stuck on animation. I've repeated these several times, and am not sure what to do.
Pretty much all I want is to be able to overclock it. What order should I do when installing roots and things?
I have wingray-60, Rogue Kernal 2.0.2 Kuma, Universal root, Clockwork recovery mod, Tiamat 3.0.5 (Not sure what this is, but when I use it, it automatically aborts the install), and I have all of the **** to restore it back to factory + my original 3.2.1 backup rooted is saved.
What order should I use the installs in, and which ones should I use? And is there something I'm doing wrong?
To have ICS with Overclock, all you need is:
- Unlocked Bootloader
- Rooted
- CWM Recovery installed (Rogue)
- TeamEOS Wingray Build 60
- TeamEOS Google Apps V10.5
All the other stuff you listed, you can move to another folder for archive. You don't need it.
Follow these steps.
Use Titanium Backup to backup any applications and data you want to save. If you don't care about the apps/data, you can skip this step.
Boot into Recovery. Power off, when the Moto logo shows for about 1 sec, hold the Vol down. Select Android Recovery.
From CWM, select wipe data/factory reset **Warning - you will blow away all your apps/data *** See note about backing up first.
Follow these steps to ensure a clean first install. Select "wipe cache partition"
Select "Yes - Wipe Cache"
Select "advanced"
Select "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Select "Yes - Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Select "+++++Go Back+++++"
Select Install from Zip, Select Zip. Navigate to your Team EOS ROM, and install it
IMMEDIATELY after the ROM is installed, install the Google APPS file via Select ZIP.
If you did everything correctly, Reboot. Now Team EOS boot animation should start and ICS will be available to you along with the Market. Restore your apps. Select from Settings to OC to your desired speed and enjoy.

Now, just to be clear, I should root with the universal root?
Do you have Titanium Backup or Rom Manager? Do you also have SU access?
If you do, you most likely have Root, but you can always re-root if you are unsure.

No, I had just restored my xoom back to factory. I just rerooted, using the universal root, then I wiped all my crap like you said, then I downloaded Eos 60, then I download Gapps and when I download gapps, my xoom says "E:Can't open /sdcard/EOS_GApps_ics_4.0.3_v9.zip (bad) Installation aborted".
Now what :|
You need to flash this version of the CMW Recovery. Without it, you cannot see/mount your SDCard.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074979
After flashing, reboot into recovery again and it should see the external SDCard which now contains your EOS ROM and EOS GApps. Flash those back to back and you should be good to go.
I CAN see my external SDCard!!!
If I couldn't see it, how could I even be rooted? That's a whole 'nother problem!
Sorry, but yeah, I can't see everything just fine. It's just Gapps is refusing to install, and everytime I install Eos 60, my device won't boot.

Okay... Relax lol
Please answer these questions
1. Have u checked the md5 sums on the gapps and the eos rom? They are provided and a bad installation can mean your files are buggered sooo check the md5 are correct for each file
2. Did you install the rogue recovery or the modded cwm recovery using fastboot? (not using rom manager or whatever)
3. Have you factory wiped before installing the rom?
4. Did you wipe cache and dalvik cache?
5. Did you install the rom then the. Gapps?
6. Did you fix permissions once you finished flashing both files?
Thanks

First off, I finally got the EOS rom to work perfectly fine. My problem was that I never wiped the system's cache data or dalvik. And where do I check the Md5 sum for the Gapps? Because they still are a "(bad)" file.
Yes, I use a perfectly fine recovery, not rom manager, what permissions need fixing? Thanks.

Md5 is a unique hash that is calculated depending on the file.. When they match you have exactly what has been uploaded by the developer. When they dont that can be a cause of your problems.. I suggest u know and understand that for future for almost any file you download where one is provided... You can brick your device and it would be your own fault if you didnt check an md5.. So jibberish, hardly..
Now... Google a free md5 program for your computer and download n install it
Go to your relevant eos thread in first post there is a link for latest gapps packages...
Download the latest 10.5v if u havnt
Look at the md5 its displayed when you download the file or on the side of the file in the list...
Put the downloaded file in the md5 program on your computer and compare to the one provided..
Now try to flash this package within recovery...
Be sure to wipe caches, dalvik... Flash gapps.. Go to advanced then fix permissions... Then reboot.. See if it works.. If not try factory reset, wipe cache n dalvik, install rom, then gapps, then fix permissions.. Then reboot

Help switching back to stock from CM9?

Hi. I'm sort of still a newb to android stuff. This tablet is my 2nd android and I managed to get CM9 on here, after installing some weird recovery through goo manager (other methods of getting Clockwork weren't working for me) I liked the stock from a lot better however, and I would like to switch back. Unfortunately I don't have a backup. I've done a search and haven't found anything. Could someone help me out with this seemingly easy problem?
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda premium
just dl the stock you need.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697227
extract the zip one time. You have another zip than. Place it on your internal sd.
Go to recovery (must be CWM) and flash the zip:
install zip than choose zip, than find the zip on your sd. than scroll down the no´s till you see a yes and choose this option.
If you dont have CWM recovery installed, take a look here and follow the video guide for fastboot to install CWM again.

So I need cwm? I can't use the recovery that I got from goo manager?
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda premium
You should go to asus webpage and download the latest firmware that is for your model. Go to settings on your device and at the latest tab see what version of firmware you have. You are looking for US or WW or another. Then go to asus site at download section and download the correct update that suits u. Unzip it once at the main catalog of the tf300 storage and reboot your machine to recovery (turn off and then turn on by pushing volume down and power until u see some message at the top of the screen. Then release the 2 buttons and push volume down and you will be at recovery menu. There choose wipe data/ factory reset and wipe dalvik cache and choose install zip, choose the zip that u previously unzip to your device and confirm to install it. When it is done after about 3 minutes reboot and u are at the latest stock firmware.

Yes you need cwm. For some reason team win recovery won't flash the stock firmware. It's nice and continues to get updates but they don't have our device. It will eventually get ironed out but for now cwm is needed to return to stock. At least that's how it is on my device and some others here on xda.

[Q] Flashing help, already read guide

Can anyone help me out by giving me a step by step instruction on flashing bean's build 5?
I'm having a lot of trouble, it's either it will load and give me an error about how something keeps crashing or just stay permanently on the jelly bean screen forever (30 minutes) before I backed up to my old settings.
Could you make it as thorough as possible starting from ez recovery?
Even now that the rom is booted up, there's all these "unfortunately Android keyboard has stopped working." same with email, com.google/process.gapps and also keyboards popups happening every few seconds making my phone impossible to use

Did you do a full wipe before you flashed the rom? And factory reset?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Just to start off, you're unlocked using EZ Unlock v1.2 correct? You can download it here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32456-app-920-ez-unlock-14-easiest-way-to-unlock-your-bootloader/
Make sure to download a new copy of Beans Build 5. Move the Beans Build 5 zip to the root of your sd card, outside of any folders. Check the md5 of this zip for file integrity. Aight, starting from EZ Recovery...
1) Open EZ Recovery, make sure CWM 6.0.1.0 is selected, now tap "Flash" to properly install it.
2) Tap "Reboot Recovery"
3) Make a Nandroid aka backup under "Backup and Restore", this takes a few minutes.
4) Now that your backup is complete. Wipe data/factory reset, go under "Mounts and Storage" then Format System.
5) Install Beans JB Build 5.

What's considered a full wipe? Factory reset yes....from CWM menu yes?
I'm using the ez unlock downloadable from the Play Store.
Here's what I do, backup my old settings, then wipe data/factory reset, cache and the devlick. Then I install the ROM along with the kernel,
I've found out that if I format system, the ROM wont boot up and will stay at the jelly bean screen forever.

[Guide] All you need to know to get Android Lollipop running on your Xperia L

You've stumbled across here because you're either a noob, or a very confused person, or ran across some errors that made you choose another ROM. (Or some random lurker) I've created this thread to make it as detailed and user friendly as possible. Anyways without further ado:
I will not be responsible for anything that happens to your device. Follow my instructions carefully, and everything should work fine. This thread is here inorder to prevent the constant reporting of misleading bugs due to a dirty or unorganized way of flashing roms.​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Instructions for installing Lollipop:
Requirements:
- Bootloader unlocked Xperia L
- USB cable for the phone
- A computer with flashtool installed along with the necessary drivers.
1. Download the latest version of CM12 or any other lollipop rom along with the Gapps package. I recommend that you use this (use 5.0x for CM12). Download Thunderzap 4.1 as well. (Don't ask why, but make sure you have this in your computer.) Place the ROM and gapps zip files in your SD card or internal storage.
2. The best way to install any custom ROM is to flash them coming from a stock rom. (Skip this step if you're already on stock 1.17) So if you're not on stock, go ahead and grab an FTF from my thread. (Latest version 1.17 - recommended) Flash the stock rom. If you don't know how to do that use this guide as a reference. Do NOT exclude anything.
3. Now you need to flash a custom kernel. To do this, locate and extract the thunderzap 4.1.zip you downloaded earlier on your computer. Then pull out (or copy it somewhere else) the bootjbcwm.img file. You'll need to flash this file via fastboot. If you know how to do that, skip the next step and proceed to step 5.
4. Power off your phone. Open flashtool and select the flash icon. Now hold the volume up button and plug in your Xperia L to your computer via USB. Select fastboot mode. Under "By DoomLoRD", select the option, "select kernel to flash". Now right above the open button you should see an arrow where it says *.sin. Select that and choose *.img. Locate the bootjbcwm.img file and select it. In a matter of seconds the kernel should be successfully flashed. Now turn on your phone, and hold the volume up button when the LED lights up. You have now entered CWM recovery.
5. Enter CWM recovery if you haven't. (when turning on your phone, and hold the volume up button when the LED lights up.) Once you're here select factory reset and select yes. Then select wipe cache, and under advanced select wipe dalvik cache. Once you've done all of this go back, and select 'mounts and storage' and select wipe system. Now go back and select Install zip, and locate the CM12 (or any other lollipop ROM) zip file. Flash the CM12 zip file and allow it to be completed. Once completed flash the gapps zip file.
6. Now go back and select reboot system. If it asks you to root select no. And there ya go! this is all that you need to do for a clean installation. This method allows to reduce the existence of bugs encountered due to dirty or a disorganized way of flashing roms. Sit back and relax and allow your phone to boot.
Instructions for installing root: (CM12)
Instructions for enabling root on Lollipop:
1. Go to settings. Scroll down and select(tap) build number, 7 times to enable developer options.
2. Return to settings and select developer options. Scroll down and select Root access. From here you can select either Apps only or Apps and ADB to allow root access. For starters you can select apps, and for those who are well aware of what ADB means you can select Apps and ADB. I won't be telling you what ADB means, you can Google this yourself.
3. Exit settings and open up playstore. Search SuperSu and download it. Once it has been downloaded and installed, open it. It will display a message saying, "SuperSU binary needs to be updated." Select continue, and then it'll display a message with the options, "Normal" and "TWRP/CWM". Select Normal, and any moment a message from privacy guard should appear. Make sure you check the "remember my choice" button and select grant.
4. Once granted permission from privacy gaurd, it will ask you to reboot, so reboot your phone.
5. There you go, you got root access now quit buggin people will ya!

No, it isn't. Unless you want to over clock or use some of the features provided by thunderzap then yes, but for now wait till 4.14.

It should, this is the cleanest way possible to install lollipop
Thank you so much for this ROM, it is pretty cool and it helps to extend the life of my Xperia.
I just have it for a couple of hours, but the keys features are working with no problem following your instructions for a clean install :good:
Thanks again for your great work

My tutorial on the first post is about installing CyanogenMod nightlies for the first time. It's always best to go from stock. I know he's fixed TWRP but still, when its your first time, that's the best way to go. However after you've flashed CM12, you can either use his recovery for dirty flashing and clean flashing (Wipe data, system and cache).
I'm busy so I'll get back to this later.
Is there any known bug at all after fleshing the ROM?
And Please can you share the link for the cyanogen 12.
Thanks in advance.

I haven't faced any bugs apart from facing a bit of lagg when recording videos. Its usually recommended to flash the latest one but beaware there can be bugs.

You can use Bluetooth and copy data via USB. I don't know about USB charging, maybe someone else here can answer that.
About moving apps to SD card, you can move certain apps to your SD card, by navigating to settings>apps. This doesn't let you move all of them, only some. Using the gapps package provided in this this you shouldn't worry too much about space unless you're gonna be installing 4+ drawers of apps lol.
