The problem with switching roms

So I'm pretty sure I figured out why a lot of us are having problems with teddys new rom. I'm guessing all of us have gone from rom to rom on this forum and I personally didn't have any problems untill I went from revolutions lightning rom to teddys touchmiuiwiz rom. I don't know why but I'm guessing something is incompatable with our backups between those two roms because teddys rom works perfectly fine untill I restore my apps and settings which are backed up currently with titanium backup from lightning rom. Once I do that my sd card starts acting weird and I get force closes loss of ringtones ect... so that's the only thing I can figure is going on :-/ I'm not sure what is causing the problem exactly but I'm pretty sure that's what the problem is.
Maybe someone can figure it out and fix it? This post might be pointless but I just figured I would share my thoughts and findings hence why I posted this in the general section.

The issue with nandroid restores is that they restore the full /data partition, rather than just the apps, it restores the data for each app, as well as the dalvik-cache. Wiping the dalvik-cache fixes most of the issues, but some apps are still older/different versions, or do not include the changes we have implemented in our rom, and therefore are incompatible.
The issue becomes that the restored apps are looking for something that isn't there in our rom, because they are from a different rom. You can always try wiping the data for the app that's FCing, but this is why we suggest using Titanium Backup, as it can backup just apps, rather than apps and data.

[Q] Need ROM advice

Basically I am looking for a ROM that is barebones, No extra crap installed (Facebook, All those lame widgets, etc) and that is good on battery life!
All I use my phone for is, Texting, Calls, Music, Web browsing, Camera and that's it. Google didn't help me very well.
What's the best ROM for that?

Hey just give you heads up and im sure others will most likely reply with the same thing just search for some roms that will give you what your looking for but for and example and anyone correct me if im wrong but CM roms are like barebones.. Or you can simply remove all what you want out of the rom like uninstalling the apps/apks you can use the script thats floating around called ROM Cleaner. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050283&highlight=rom+cleaner
And battery life all depends on kernel for that rom radio&rils etc.. just really all on the user them self.. trust me there is alot of threads with the same idea what you have before this gets locked out.. look around 1st

Ok people here have been asking this same question over and over and over again. What may be awesome to one may be crap to another its all on how you feel about the roms. You need to try out a few for size as far as apps are concerned you can use titanium backup to remove or freeze. Tho we help each other here this is a search and learn sight not a hold my hand and lead me sight. So please search before opening a new thread.
Hmm I think I here Zels footsteps.

My Inspire

One of the most barebones and good battery life ROMS is
BlackICE its based on CyanogenMod it works perfect on
my Inspire 4G, not a single problem in the few weeks I have
used it.

New Mods...please consider closing. We really don't need any more which roms are better type threads.
To everyone else, please just read each Rom description and try them out for yourself. Everyone will like different things.

I'm well aware of search functions and what not, But alot of post I did come across didn't give me much insight for a ROM on my Inspire, Thus why I posted this thread.
Either I did something wrong, Or I misused this forum because as stated, I was unable to find any info on barebones ROMs for my Inspire.
I apologize to have posted yet another "Need ROM advice..." type threads.

What I would suggest is try out a few roms out and get a feel of them but give them about a week of use so you can truly feel them out. Once you find one you truly like or are comfortable with use titanium backup and delete all the apps you want out of it to make it barebone to your liking. But remember dont delete anything that is system critical, if you are unsure of it use titanium backup to freeze app and see if it causes any issues with the phone before you delete it. If it does you can just unfreeze the app. Its a trial and error learning experience we all been there at one time or another. Welcome to XDA and enjoy the learning experience.

I did that with CM7 a while back, Deleted pretty much everything I didn't need.. I uninstalled an app I no longer used (market App) and it bricked my phone for some reason. Right now I have / am trying out Coredriod.
What's a good tutorial or list of system apps (IE: Calculator, Calender, etc) I can delete without bricking my phone?

Your not bricked. Try reflashing the rom but do a full wipe. Go to recovery
1. Wipe factory
2. Wipe cache partition
3. Advance>Wipe dalvik cache
4. Go back
5. Wipe partition (except sd card)
6. Install from sd card
7. Choose zip from sd card
8. flash rom
When you try to flash a rom on top of another ALWAYS do a full wipe NEVER just flash.

If you are still boot-looping.Then you can take the battery out and then go into recovery panel and do full wipe before installing the new ROM.

[Q] So many app force closes.

Yesterday, i installed a new ICS rom for my Galaxy S. After my restore from titanium backup, almost all of my apps force close when i open them. I tried everything. Factory Reset, Fix permissions, reflashing rom etc. Plz help me

Same here - haven't found a solution yet...

Did you guys restore system data with titanium backup? That causes problems when com from gingerbread rom ( or stock rom) to ics

Every post I've read regarding the upgrade to ICS has specifically stated to NOT restore system data from previous versions of the ROM. If you search the forums there is info on how to fix this if you've made that mistake but I believe it involves a full system wipe then re-flash.

That's too bad
Well, that's too bad
I am using a Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 and there were a lot of ROMs which had exactly the same problems!
My recommendation is to look for another ROM! There are a lot of awesome ROMs :good:

I used to have frequent force closes and used alogcat to determine that it was due to running out of memory. It wasn't that my phone had insufficient memory, but the way memory was used. For me, I first increased the dalvikvm-heap size in build.prop from 32MB to 48MB and that solved the force closes. Then I downloaded and ran the V6 Supercharger script (for better memory management) and that got rid of the frequent launcher redraws. Now my phone is quick and a joy to use I think(?) ICS requires more memory than Gingerbread so maybe these fixes might work for you too. I assume your phone is rooted by the sound of it so it can be done. Good luck!

Resize the system partition?

I am running a stock image on my N5 with root and need to add an apk into the system partition but the problem is that I have only 4mb left on there and the apk does not fit. Is it possible to resize the partitions and:
Still keep your data
and/or
Allow for OTA installations down the road?

Short answer is no. And you certainly can't do it without wiping everything else. Repartitioning Android partitions is not for the faint of heart. It takes a lot of knowledge and can easily brick your device.

Why don't you just simply delete some unused pre-installed apps from /system?

Stock Google OS comes with a ton of crap on /system that really belongs on /data. You delete all those apps, then download them from the playstore. 300ish MB free on /system.
I wrote a script to do this here, or you could use @vomer CleanRom that gets rid of some crap. My script (from memory) keeps stock keyboard, stock camera, and a stock launcher. Everything else is gone and can be reacquired through the playstore, the way it should have been from the beginning.
If it bothers you, could could use TiBu to back up that app data before you delete them, then restore after playstore install.
Who cares about OTA? Really not of concern.

Thank you for putting me on the right track. What I wound up doing was converting a couple of the apps that are baked into the stock ROM from system to user apps with TiBu. Worked like a charm!

awesome ...

Thanks for your awesome and simple script - great idea!
Worked on my Nexus 5, 6 and 7. Boosted free space by 360 MB.

Update : your script also worked on my Nexus 6 running Stock Marshmallow Version "mra58r" now that I have 863 MB free on /system.

Same issue with CM13
I'm facing low system space when installing CM13.
The ROM installs correctly. However, when I go to flash GAPPS, I get a low system error.
How can I fix this?

Flash back to stock, perform a factory wipe, flash twrp, flash cm and gapps. Hopefully, those fixes the issue.

NoobROM 4.4.4 CM/AOSP based KitKat for Blaze 4G

Hello. This is my first ROM, based off of Cyanogenmod. A few Cyanogen features have been removed, and some non-CM features have been added. I am still testing it, but it seems to work fine for my t769.
WILL NOT WORK ON EXHILERATE
If any moderator wants me to remove DL links and close thread, notify me immediately.
This is my personal ROM, I build one after every CM nightly that comes out. I'm just uploading it here/my Dropbox for anyone who wants the same experience.
What exactly have I done?
-UberKernel v1 1.89GHz stock clock
-Removed CM's annoying Statistics and Bug Reports
-Removed stock CM apps
-Added ES File Explorer Free in place of CM File Manager
-Added Kernel Tuner
-Added stock 4.2 AOSP Launcher in place of Trebuchet
-Replaced CM's Torch with the one from CM10 (now has strobe, a useful feature that was removed in KitKat)
-Replaced Browser with AOSP 4.1.2
-Added Anthony Resario's Afterburner theme
-Replaced CM's boot screen with a generic Android boot screen
-Replaced DeskClock with the AOSP equivalent from 4.1.2
-Removed some live wallpapers
-Added Link2SD system app
How to install
1. Make sure you have a recovery installed. If not, I will be uploading an Odin-compatible package in the future. I recommend Philz Touch, although a different CM based recovery will work. Not tested on TWRP, use at your own risk.
2. Make a NANDROID backup.
3. Wipe Data
4. Wipe /sytem
5. Wipe /cahce
6. Factory reset
7. Install ROM
8. Wipe the Dalvik
9. Factory reset
10. Reboot, and keep an eye on it. Apps will prompt for SU on boot.
11. After it's done, reboot and install GApps if you want/need them.
DISCLAIMER:
I am not responsible if you brick, fry, or otherwise destroy your device as a result of flashing this ROM. I will not claim liability or replace your device. All features included in this ROM are properties of their respective owners, I merely assembled them into one place.
Changelog:
1/10/2016 - First beta/testing release
Planned features:
-Better DSP manager
-New default background
-possible shutdown sequence
-Flash Player support
-maybe 2.0GHz clock rate if it doesn't burn my device
-Tweak battery/4G
-Button light fix
-AOSP KitKat launcher

Whats the battery life on this build??!

I'm behind on a nightly, so not as good as normal. Right now, my Blaze hasn't had its 4 year old battery replaced, but when on standby with WiFi, min/max frequency set to 192/1890MHz and Governor set to Samsung with a ROW I/O scheduler, get about 3 days until it completely dies. The temperature sensor in my battery is shot, so I can't accurately report temperatures until I can find a decent OEM battery replacement. WiFi doesn't work properly, which is a bug in the kernel I have to fix in the updater script. My suggestion (until I fix various things with my ROM) is to download the latest CM nightly, flash UberKernel V1, and use Link2SD to uninstall all of the CM bloatware. If you're feeling adventurous and daring you can flash this and report the results.

Im on Validus by GZRoms 4.4.4 and the thread seams to be closed.... Cant ask questions. I have NO more internal space, with barely any apps installed. It partitioned my internal to have its on storage, built in SD, and my ACTUAL external SD. I cannot figure how to move apps to SD, it will not work, Ive tried the app2sd fixes, ive gone to apps and enabled 'App moving' and rebooted. No dice. Any help?

My battery life is terrible most times on Validus 4.4.4 as well, even with the UBER 4.1 kernel. Thats why i asked you about the battery life on yours cause I need more. Have you used that 4.4.4? That one and yours seem to be the only ones and I need to be able to move apps2sd so I can actually have the apps I want. Literally have only 10 apps installed probably.

Try Link2SD, and try my ROM. I just released a new nightly, the WiFi should work, if not I need to update it again.
Also, the Blaze only comes with 1.4GB of internal storage. I use PA GApps pico, and install anything else I actually use (like maps and Hangouts Dialer). GApps can easily take up massive amounts of space. Battery life has been fixed in my latest nightly. Please try out the ROM and see what it does. You have to do a FULL SYSTEM WIPE, except for EFS and RADIO partitions. I use PhilZ Touch. app2SD is frankly a terrible app in comparison to Link2SD, which is included in my ROM. If you use the SAMSUNG governor and ROW I/O scheduler and the battery life still sucks, get a new battery. If you also constantly have 4G, Wifi, and Bluetooth as well as NFC on, that will definitely drain your battery. Open Battery Stats in Settings and tell me what uses the most battery. Turn your screen brightness all the way down.

If it's the Cyanogenmod setup wizard, I cannot help, as I said development has been halted until I can get another Blaze.
It if's the Google setup, boot the phone without flashing GApps a few times, finish the CM setup wizard, change a few settings, browse the web. After that then flash GApps and add an account through settings.
Another thing you can try is booting the phone in Safe Mode by holding the Vol+ and Vol- keys during boot.

Use Link2SD to make the launcher you want a system app and then uninstall the one I included. I just bought another Blaze (mine was stolen) so I will resume development as soon as it arrives.
Also, how do you like the ROM? Does everything function properly?

I don't know when, probably next week and depending upon where CM source is at in development we might see NoobROM 5.1. I like KitKat better, and this is more of a personal project so it might stay KitKat with 5.1 APIs.
I might just scrap the CM wizard. It's pretty useless and only serves its purpose for new users.

Hey I got it up and running pretty well, couple problems.... battery charged all night over night and my battery will not move past 26%. I dont think this is ROM specific as I was having weird battery issues before. I don't know what to do tho? And I have quite a few Force Closes of apps, including Facebook, and ESPN. They force close regularly and are pretty much unusable. Valadis ROM seemed a lot more stable. I love the link2SD tho it works almost flawless! I can now have my apps back, even tho 1 of 2 internal storage still shows only 20+MB free internal? Why? I have all my apps installed externally. Anyway, if we flash a different kernel, or the one from Valadus ROM, will it break the link2SD feature?? Idk what it is, but that ROM is smoother and less Force Closes. I'll keep running this and look forward to an update!

Slow down, speed racer.
To answer your questions:
Q. What's wrong with my battery?
A. The Blaze is known for battery issues. Go into recovery, wipe everything (SD card, system, dalvik, factory reset, and data+cache), and then flash a new ROM. If your battery issues persist your battery is shot. Order a new one online.
Q. Is your kernel stable?
A. It's as stable as I could get it. If you're having trouble with FCs, reinstall PA GApps 4.4.4.
Q. Will flashing a new kernel break the ROM?
Short answer: Yes.
Long, complicated answer: No.
Q. I have no space left.
A. To free up internal storage, make sure your SD card is at least 16GB, I recommend 32 for this ROM. Install all the apps you want and then get rid of the Play Store. I use Blackmart, and will include it in the next update.
