[Discussion] The Itch *Flashaholic* - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

So tell me guys, what do you do when you guys get the "itch" of flashing a new ROM?
I try to resist of flashing a new ROM every single day, so what I do to suppress this itch is I take my friends phone and flash a ROM on it

Delete xda app for a week

I flash if I wanna flash, have a beer if I want a beer, load a bowl if I wanna puff, swear if I wanna swear. I could go on but you get the idea. If you wanna do it just do it. But I do like the idea of flashing other peoples phones. I could triple my flashing rate. lol

If she complains in anyway related to "Ugh this phone is slow and stupid" interrupt her and say "Darling! Worry not, I *Insert Name Here* shall revive and free your phone of this sluggishness! EXCELSIOR!"

LOL. I wish man. It's more like if she let's me geek out on her phone it's even less time I'll be able to spend with her. Truth be told I'm OK with her running stock.

THis times a hundred. I flashed a friends phone once. NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER AGAIN!!!!!!11111!!!!
In the middle of the night while I was sleeping and dreaming of a actress most of you wouldnt know who she was, I get woke up with a panic call from said friend because the phone wouldnt send texts...they rebooted and all was fine. Like I said never again.

Flash when you get an update or aren't satisfied.
I am quite satisfied with the latest CM9 so I don't flash unless it is an update.

But if you don't flash every ROM your never know if your "satisfied" with an inferior ROM. I love AOKP but I still flash every ROM that gets posted for this phone. I find myself going back to AOKP more often than not because it suites my taste and style. But by flashing other things I can honestly say that it's my preference. To me it's a way of eliminating ignorance.

That's me. I like Remics. I like the touchwiz interface and the Samsung feel to it. Others don't, that's their choice, but I do. I keep trying new ROM's but don't like the interface or launcher or look of it and go back to Remics everytime.

If you guys are flashing all the time, do you actually *use* your phones?
Just curious. Takes me a couple of hours to get everything back the way I had it... the OP sounds like he wants to flash something every day. lol
My wife's phone I rooted and removed most of the bloatware and that's all she wants me to do and that's all *I* want to do to it.

You know I think Blue Star ointment will cure most itches you can get.

Usually the best thing in this case is to have a daily phone and a second phone to do the flashing on. Once I found a favorite rom that works best for me I stop flashing frequently except updates of the rom. It's also easier when you have a rom that support multiple devices that you own.

you are trying to make your stamp as a superdev huh? well all i can say is more power to you. I see that most of these roms are beta but hopefully we can get alot of the kinks worked out.

This ROM looks so familiar... I just can't put my finger... WAIT! It is an exact copy of the one barak sent me when he first got it running...

Boot animation works (used the cyanogen one)
Apps to SD and such things work
Still no sound, bt, or wifi
Some files removed and apps added

Curious? Lol, I can read code. There is nothing in there from the new dump. Not to mention the random bits of code and files that barak was using to test, but have no purpose in the build for actual release.
I kinda feel a bit foolish for trying to buy you time in the other thread you started for this by saying you were taking on a big challenge. That wasn't an excuse to just re-release what was already done. It was meant to help people back off while you got your feet wet.

Alright so as many of you guys know, a lot of Team D.I.R.T ROMs have A2SD baked in! This may be looked on as good or bad! Some people have fears of partitioning their sdcard because 1 reason or other and some are just lazy to do so...hahahaha
Well I've found a solution for those that are lazy and don't want to rip open the ROM zip and do it themselves or for noobs that lack the knowledge to do so themselves!
Simple instructions....
1. Flash the ROM you want
2. DO NOT REBOOT
3. Flash the REMOVE A2SD zip
4. REBOOT
5. ENJOY!!
Please keep in mind that I've only tested this on AOSP ROMs so if you try it on Sense ROMs, please let me know......

Ran this up on DK's Jackpot 777, SENSE ROM after we had A2SD issues with my wife's unpartitioned phone... SMOOTH LIKE BUTTER! Problem Solved!!!
Mazda drops another miraculous fix!!!
Well I be...I knew this day would come.
Great job, thought of another use for it.. when setting up a boot manager slot you can just tack this on.. I'll have to try it later on.
257 downloads so far
Hey guys, if you download it, could you take the time to leave some feedback?? Is the least you can do.....THANKS!!
Heyy Yoo Maz I've noticed that everything you do around here is not even a challenge to you anymore and in fact I wouldn't be surprise if you built a time machine in your freaking garage... I think you should just move on to trying to modify the Government... Thanks my friend, you're giving above and beyond a new meaning.
Perfect! no more swapping back and forth between partition and non-partition card just to test out roms for Mazda

Nope on the contrary my phone loves everything! I've ran preludedrews ICS roms and decks roms and even decks reloaded Rom with no problems!Just don't know why Mazda's roms are the only ones give me the bootloops. Maybe he has a2sd set up differently, but its all good now! Now I can run Mazdas Rom on an ext3 partition card or a non partition card at will with this script which means Im set for life buddy! My phone and Mazdas roms are at peace now!! :-D

A2SD or non A2SD never really made a difference to me. I will try this out and see if I actually see a difference .
Okay, I don't understand why some would like to remove a2sd? I need more specific reasons than in the OP? I remember back when I first received my evo, people cried and cried about not being able to move apps to the sd card?

Honestly dude, there's no good reason for ANYONE to remove A2SD because it is a MUST with our ICS ROMs BUT some people feel the need to go against everything and act like A2SD is gonna eat their first born and steal their soul......is NOT!
Plus people have to find something to complain about....hopefully with this script I made, it will give them one less thing to complain about..hahahaha

Would you suggest it to someone who isn't to good in the ways of c programming? Is it difficult to self teach c?

[MOD](ICS AT&T) Remove Carrier Name

-----------------------------------
FOR ODEXED AT&T ICS ONLY - Please install whirleyes BootMenu app from the Play Store and make a nandroid backup before modifying system files.

Well, here we go... Let the fun begin again!
I just put together this quick mod because I personally can't stand having AT&T tattooed all over my phone. And now with ICS it's in more places!
FOR STOCK ODEXDED AT&T ICS ONLY! (so far)
This zip will remove the AT&T carrier text from the status bar, pull-down shade, and lockscreen.

Yea, don't rush it man... It is installed through bootstrap and CWM recovery, which are both working fine. I do not think that there are any known working Recovery on Boot methods for us at the time. Also, would be excellent to find a way to install other zips through stock recovery... I think that's being looked into (at least I know I will look into it)... So, please be very careful.. But, the mod zip works fine... in theory.
Related side note, I just finished porting the 1% battery to ICS (my first attempt, so.. who knows), but I do not want to even try to test it until I know I can get myself out of trouble easily...
Meh, I got time on my hands. I'll give it a whirl. We can luckily FXZ back to 2.3.5 if something goes belly up

Late to the party. Just wanted to say thanks. Removed carrier branding on my ATT Atrix 2 ics 4.04 using BMM. Oh it removed the branding AIRVOICE WIRELESS which is my MVNO.
Yep, a necessity for AV which takes up half of the bar and knocks other notifications off!

will do, grabbed it from her for a few secs to verify it is seen as an ADB device.
EDIT>> IT WAs seen as ADB device.
Tried it, works!
So pleased to have full root and Play Store!
My Nabi 2 had the android update and the root ran with lots of errors, but I have already installed an app from the Play Store ( Titanium Backup free ) and am running it now....
Now to see if I can get GL to SD to run, and then get a 32GB MicroSDHC card...
Sigh...
I am so sorry, I forgot to say THANKS! Mad props! If I wasn't so broke ( can't even pay my bills right now ) I would definitely donate...
But..
You made poor me SO HAPPY!
Worked prefect for me as well. She is going to be happy her missing apps\games are back. Titianium restored her progress on games from her Nabi1, worked like a champ.

I tried it a couple of times last night and had to end up doing a recover to get my apps back. Did any of you that successfully rooted your nabi do the software update? Just think they might have changed something in the update to fix the root exploit. If anyone else is able to get their nabi rooted could you please post your log from Bin4ry's program.

Doing a reboot a couple times brings your apps back. It will error out throughout the process. But at the end will say successful. If it doesnt first try reboot a couple times to get your data back then try again. I am not the creator of the exploit as I noted so it might be better to ask bin4ry. But I have 2 nabi's and this worked on both. Before and after update. I did have to reroot after update though

Cool, I like twrp better than cwm. Of course I like 4ext recovery the best, but I know that would be asking a lot.

Cool, I look forward to checking it out. I just wish I knew how to mod the actual os, would love to enable "safe headphone volume" mode and "hold back to force close app". Not sure why they have those 2 turned off.

shouldn't be too hard to crank out. since this device is so close to nexus 7, getting cm10 going shouldn't be too much of an issue. I will make a patch to make nabi mode available still though

I just worry about breaking the monarch ui. My kid is 2-1/2 so I don't want her with a full cm10, yet.
My only experience is abd stuff and a little small tiny bit of theming for htc sense using the kitchen. Modding the settings menu just sounds so much harder. Or should I say so much easier to mess something up bad.

Well really as long as you don't touch /system/vendor you won't break monarch. You remove vendor you will have a normal tablet.

I think it could help me figure out how to do that mod I want to do, at least I hope it will help with that.
i was actually looking to pick one up, couldnt convince the wife my 13 month old needed one tho >.> IMO its a bit nicer than the n7 due to expandable memory and hdmi out.
however fuhu/nabi refuses to release source for kernel

My kid was under 1 year when we gave it to her. But in the beginning it was more start something for her and hand it over, now at 18months she knows how to take it off the charger and use it all on her own.
13 months is PERFECT get them started young, they need all the advantages they can get.

uh oh. I think I just bricked my m8

So, I ran firewater and wanted to get to recovery. I ran the adb command "adb boot recovery" and I get a screen with a phone with a red triangle and exclamation point in the middle. Is there a way out of this?
Please help.
That's just the stock recovery. Hold the power button down until the device reboots.
I held vol up and power and got out of it. phew. thx
i was gonna damn already :silly:

No, I understand what a brick is, i just haven't seen this screen before. What i didn't understand was that this is what Verizon's stock recovery looks like.
Yeah yeah don't give this guy hell for being afraid of bricking his brand new m8. Mod remove this pls

I'm not giving him hell..
I just feel if you are going to risk bricking your phone, you should at least know what the stock recovery looks like so we don't get cluttered with threads about people thinking they "bricked" their phone when it is on....
a brick means just that, it's a brick.
doesn't turn on, doesn't charge, notta.
I am glad the OP got his phone working though.
I just feel that S-OFF is very dangerous and I think people need to do some more research before diving in.. If you can't tell the difference between a stock recovery and a brick.. well - IMHO you shouldn't be S-OFF yet.
I am entitled to my opinion. But in no way was I giving him hell nor looking down on him, he created the thread, I gave an opinion; this is a forum after all.

I agree with you. Why do you guys think its called a "brick"?! If someone does not understand basic concepts like adb, flashing, and bricks, they should not be trying to s-off their phone.

i agree with that too. so many noobs
To many noobs.. We were all once. Been doing this for a few years. Just tried to upload a CWM backup and couldn't. Didn't realize I had to zip it first. I've done things much more complicated but couldn't do that. We'll all be noobs at something, no matter what. XDA is for noobs as much as for anyone else. Noob.. What a funny word anyway lol.

Friend of mine was trying to revert back to stock ROM and he just deleted everything on advanced wipe on TWRP. Says no OS installed. Tried everything, but can't find a RUU for a sprint non-harman edition M8.

Why are they even called bricks
Phones don't really resemble bricks anymore. They're more like slabs.
Guys I think I slabbed my phone
Has a nice ring to it

No sir, you didn't slab your phone if it still has a ring to it.
knowing I didn't brick my phone,
I can't get into any recovery. when I press the volume up and power, I get the white HTC splash screen for a second then black.
I was trying to restore a nandroid from TWRP.
