I really need to be able to post in the development section but sadly this forum doesn't allow it for noobs.
I did the following:
Flashed the LBC Wipe zip
Flashed LBC 0.6
Ran through the setup procedure
Ran Titanium Backup to restore previous apps
Flashed Sense 3 3D launcher
After than the phone gets stuck at the green android animation. If i press the power button it will do the CRT animation and turn the screen off. Likewise if I press it again i see the CRT animation on the android animation comes back.
This suggests that the phone is trying to load sense but is getting stuck. Can someone raise the question for the correct order to install it in the development section?
Thankfully I have managed to restore back to base LBC 0.6 so it isn't an urgent matter.
Thanks.
Another thing i noticed is that when I run the Market for the first time, it seems to automatically install a number of apps that have been removed from this rom such as maps.
Is there any way to stop it from happening?

Google backups and synchronises settings (including apps) to your Google account. Whenever I add a Google account in a fresh ROM it also starts downloading the apps I've previously had. There should be an option to disable this in settings. If I remember correctly, you can choose this during the initial setup.

(Opps, Must add that if you use EXT4 recovery and the associated APK recently released then remove the APK for it from the LBC v0.6.0 ZIP file and ensure that you un-install the program (not recovery) from your v0.5.4 system once you've restored it as the program was going through several pre beta releases and fails to upgrade after v0.6.0 install otherwise).
I detailed my install order HERE. Now if you don't have a v0.5.4 backup, I'd say simply run a full wipe and then proceed in the order that I did.
Even though my stages above don't mention the 3d rosie that's as I personally don't like it, but don't fear I did try it. I followed the steps above, then rebooted the device , setup as per normal then rebooted back to RECOVERY took a backup..(as didn't want to go through that process again!) and then flashed the 3D Launcher.ZIP to try it out - which I did but choose to revert to the backup as it wasn't for me!
Good luck.
so as i previously posted, i flashed cm7 and lost all google apps. so i downloaded a android market apk file for android to get it back and it worked. now when i select the market app on my homescreen, its says " you must add an accout to the device to continue. do you want to add one now?" so when i click "yes" it closes and goes back to my homescreen. whats going on now. i dowloaded the file from multiupload and it installed perfectly. it seems once i get one problem fixed i run into another. any help would be much appreciated. thanx.
Have you tried flashing the gapps?
havent found one that worked yet. ideas?

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

Here ya go ....
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.....

Hello everyone i just got my first android phone HTC ONE X with AT&T and I'm new to the whole android community my old phone was a iPhone and so far i love the one x a lot more then my iPhone.... anyway i rooted my phone and unlocked the boot-loader and now i don't know what/how to do. i know about roms but i don't know of any good ones, so if anyone can help me by telling me what exactly i can do with my rooted phone and tell me about roms any information will be helpful
Thank You,
SMGrair
you need twrp recovery to flash roms.you can flash them 10 times a day.
All Sense 4.0 ROMs here is stable for daily use becase they are based on official ruu.
I highly suggest aokp and then flash cm10 when it gets more stable. Also get titanium backup.
Welcome! I was new to all of this pretty recently as well but you'll find this community to be extremely helpful. The good thing is you already did the hard part, flashing roms on this device is very easy as long as you take the necessary precautionary steps. Since there is so much information on this forums, I know how hard it is to find simple answers at times with them being scattered all over the board and all so I'll just give em to you here
First off, make a "nandroid". Turn off your phone, then hold the power and volume down key until you get into boot loader mode. Then simply navigate the options to make a backup of your phone, very simple you've just made a "nandroid". Next boot your phone normally, go into the play store and search for and download the following apps:
1. Goomanager
2.SMS backup and restore
3. Titanium backup ( pay for the pro version if you don't want to reinstall every app one by one)
First run goomanager, it will ask for super user access, grant it. Then you need to install twrp (a third party recovery program that is preferable for our devices over cwm because it gives less problems) through goomanager by hitting the menu option while in the app and selecting "install open recovery script".
Once that is done open titanium backup and hit the little check mark at the top right, choose the option to "backup all user apps". Don't backup system data because if you restore system data when you flash a new rom it will give you problems since it is a whole new system, make sense right?
OK now open SMS backup restore and backup all your text messages that you don't want to lose. Make sure u sync all your contacts to your Google account for easy recovery as well.
Now you're ready to flash a rom. I suggest either aokp (which I use and love daily) or cleanrom if you want a stock experience without bloatware. I prefer aokp because I love aosp, the way android was meant to be and it doesn't kill your apps as soon as you leave then.
Either way you can try both and decide for yourself.
Download the rom zip file and transfer them to your phones memory, I usually put the rom zip files in a folder labeled "roms". You also want to download and transfer a zip called "gapps". There are the stock Google apps and you will flash it after flashing your rom.
OK now just reboot your phone, select reboot into recovery and it will restart and take you to twrp. Then you need to do a factory reset first (I do it twice) then wipe dalvik and cache (I do this before and after flashing the rom to be safe), then just hit install, navigate o the folder where you put the rom zip in and hit flash. Then flash the gapps zip once the rom is done flashing then wipe dalvik and cache again and voila you have a new rom on your phone! So just reboot the phone and youre golden.
Download titanium backup again and use that to restore all your apps, then SMS backup to restore texts and that's it. Good luck man hope this helped since it definitely would've helped me when I first started. Have fun and feel free to ask around if you have questions or just pm me and I'll try to help as best as I can.

You must use openrecovery-twrp-2.1.8.1-evita.There's been an accident with cwm (ported recovery)+aroma+God knows what=no sim card detection forever.
twrp-2.1.8.1 is stable,does everything you need,keep it that way.
And try to stay away from radios and recovery changes/updates.
And yes,to have HTC Device and use Senseless ROMs does not make sense at all...
flash a Sense rom to start then go venture out into the aosp world once they are stable. There are many roms to choose from. Just be sure to read the OP before flashing and if you have questions about the rom it self, ask in that forum too.
Good luck and welcome to Android
ok cool thank you all

Hey guys,
I'm very new to Android and I have a few questions. I used to install custom OS's on my blackberry and I jailbroke my iphones so I'm some what used to this stuff but every operating system is obviously different. So I've had my S3 for about 6 weeks and I finally rooted a couple days ago. To root I followed this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875914. I rooted, unlocked the bootloader, and installed clockworkmod recovery. Now I have been wanting to load a jelly bean ROM. I kind of wanted to load the Synergy ROM found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792499. So am I ok to just download from that thread and drag and drop to my phone on my PC and just follow the directions? I don't have an external SD Card is just fine to use internal storage? Like I said all I have done is rooted from that first link. I just kinda wanted some verification before I go and brick my phone, thanks for your help.
Piece of cake. If you scroll down to the second post of the Synergy thread, you'll see the very first question in the FAQ:
Q: How do I install this ROM?
A: Download the ROM from the "Download Links" section above, place the file on your phone's external SD card, and then flash via your recovery. First boot after flash takes a wee bit longer than usual.

Click to collapse
So, download the ROM (using either your phone (take note of where it saves it) or computer). If using your computer, connect your phone and drop that sucker somewhere on the SD card (external or internal -I use internal). (I create a folder in the root of my internal SD card called Files to Flash, in which I keep everything I flash, so it doesn't get scattered about, but do what you want )
Use Titanium Backup to back up all your apps and data to restore later (when you do restore, since you're going from ICS to JB, don't restore any System Data as it will cause many issues (apps and app data is fine)).
Reboot into recovery using Rom Manager, as mentioned in the rooting tutorial you followed.
Use your volume keys to navigate to "backup and restore" and select it using either the home or power button.
Select "backup" and wait for your nandroid backup to complete.
Next, navigate back to the original menu and select the "wipe cache/factory data reset" option.
Once that's done, select the "wipe cache partition" option.
(side note: Instead of doing those two things, I like to go into the "mounts and storage" option and select "format /system" "/data" and "/cache". Both ways work - BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO FORMAT SDCARD AND EXTERNALSD IF YOU USE MY METHOD...bad joo joo).
Select the "advanced" option from the initial menu and "wipe dalvic cache".
Now you're ready to install.
In the first menu, the second option is "install zip from sdcard." Select it.
Select "choose zip from sdcard" and navigate to where you saved the ROM and select it.
Scroll either up or down, passed all the "no"s and select "yes" and let it do it's thing.
Once it's done, navigate back to the menu you first started at by selecting the "Go Back" option, then reboot and profit.
letinsh posted pretty much the most concise instructions to follow. In addition, I'll suggest to backup your IMEI prior to flashing anything.

So I can just go to this website from my phone and go to the download link and download directly to my phone? Is that easier/faster? Thanks for responding
Good call, Snoop.
I totally forgot about it because I did it once and have flashed dozens of times since
Naganalf - as far as downloading via fone or computer, it's really 6 of one, half dozen of the other. Whichever makes you more comfortable. Keep in mind that it is HIGHLY recommended that you check the md5 sum of your download before flashing, to ensure you have a good download. I have an md5 sum checker on both my computer and fone, so I can do either fairly easily.
This is the one I used on my computer
and I use MD5 Checker by Fabien Thalgott (play store) on my phone.
Having just looked at the Synergy thread, they don't post md5's for their nightly's, so don't worry about that step for them, although, it typically is good practice to check (I hardbricked my S3 the third day I had it by pushing a corrupt file using Odin that would have been caught if I had checked the md5). (Got it JTAG'd back to life, so no worries - everything is recoverable from except physical damage )
Thanks for your help snoop and letish, after this first flash I will be much more comfortable. I am downloading now so when it gets done I will give it a whirl and let you know how it goes.

No worries, dude. I agonized for days before I rooted and flashed my first ROM on my OG Droid back in the day - had one of the founders of DroidForums (synik4l) on G-chat while I did the deed...I was so chicken
Good times, though. Just do your research, understand what it is you're doing, mitigate any risks (by doing your research...) and go to town! Most of the bugs in the process have been ironed out by jokers like me testing and hard-bricking along the way . At this point, the processes are very user friendly and reliable:fingers-crossed:
Enjoy!
How'd it go?

If you haven't selected any options yet then just go back into your rom. You need to download EZ Recovery from the Play Store so that you can flash a custom recovery (ClockworkMod or TWRP) through that app.

I'm sorry but I'm a little confused. Why is it only giving me those options when I reboot into recovery from ROM Manager? The first time after I rooted I'm pretty sure there was an option to "Backup and Restore". Also, why can't I just go into ROM Manager and select "Install ROM From SD Card" and select my ROM that way? sorry but I do appreciate your help.

Good questions. The recovery you rebooted into is the Stock recovery that comes with the phone. Your OP in this thread says that you installed CWM recovery. It looks like it didn't stick. Two options - Use the program Snoop suggested, or open up Rom Manager and hit the "Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery" option.
From there you can continue as previously explained.
EDIT - I've never used the ROM Manager's install ROM from SD card option, so I can't speak to it. I know I like having the control (or perceived control ) of doing everything by hand in recovery.
ok I have loaded android version 4.1.1 build number SynergyROM Nightly JB(r111) so I guess i did everything correctly. now i'd like to get my phone kinda back to how i had it lol. if I run titanium backup will my home screens all be restored the way I had them? and when i run titanium backup i ONLY want to run "restore missing apps with data" right? not "restore missing apps + all system data" just want to make sure. thanks

Correct, don't restore the system data. Now, if you want your txt messages back, you'll see a yellow Messages backup (with a TiBu logo). If you restore that (the only option available is Data, I think), you'll get your txts back.
Remember that you'll prolly need to reboot after the restore, then use ROM Manager to Fix Permissions, then restart again. You'll be off to the races!
As far as getting your home screens back, I don't know if that'll be possible, although they're both TouchWiz launchers....might be alright, then
I run Nova launcher regardless of ROM, so all I have to do is restore the Nova app, then used the built in Nova backup/restore to get my home screens back. Let me know how the Titanium restore works! As a side note, if I have any doubt about whether I'll be able to get my launcher set back up (or I'm switching launchers to try them out), I'll take quick screenshots of all my screens and use that as a reference to set them back up
well i think im all set, thanks again for your help guys. I went ahead and installed nova launcher so i can back up my home screens like you said. so if I want to try a different ROM do i need to flash back to stock first? or just do it like i did this time?

Nahh, just as simple as putting the ROM you want on your ex SD card or internal one which ever you prefer, wiping system/data , and wiping your cache, and then flash your new ROM . You can also "dirty flash" if say you are just moving from r111 of synergy to a newer one. Typically on the forum you will see if anyone had any problems dirty flashing. I always go with a clean flash just to avoid any problems to begin with.

What he ^ said. You can go from ROM to ROM. I, also, like Houdini said, like to flash clean each time. Try it both ways and see if you have problems
I just threw out Nova as an example - there are several good launchers out there...Nova, Apex, Go Launcher (I'll probably catch flack for mentioning it), Trebuchet (from CM). Most if not all have the ability to backup your settings. Try 'em each and figure out which one works best for you :good:
Glad it worked, buddy. Welcome to the flashing addiction :highfive:!

+1 for Nova Apex is also pretty good. Like lentinsh said, most if not all have the ability to back up your settings, making flashing from ROM to ROM that much easier :good: Cant go wrong with Nova though :laugh:
App Restore
Hey peeps,
I have been able to flash a few new ROMs but can't quite get my Apps Restored. I have/had Titanium Back up installed and backed up. With each ROM I install I don't quite get how to restore the Apps I had installed, Titanium Back up gets dropped when I flash to a new ROM.
I'm going to search the Forum for App Backup 101...
OK so I found a link to App Backup and Restore in GPS, on a different thread looks like it is what I need
thanks for any tips...
Hi guys, been using this great phone.for.2 months already. Used a couple of roms in the past but returned to rooted, locked bootloader stock rom with the latest update. I just had a question is it possible to make the settings menu white witout being deodexed? Or at least without modification of system files. Please.note I do not have any sort of recovery installed. Just rooted so I can use greenify and Uninstal bloatware. I really like the white menu, been searching and only foind it in custom.roms. anyway I can do that on stock? thanks in advance. I've decided to.use.stock as I could.find lots.of.bugs.on the.custom roms. Aand.I really like the stock ui. ANY advice?
Hey mate, sorry to inform you but I think you have to deodex. However I think there is another way, I understand you prefer clean stock rom, I can't unlock my bootloader and it is indeed the fastest rom do the following, search on the themes and apps for Honami white settings and you will find a port that even has cpu control.
Go to your apps folder (use root Explorer); delete your settings and settings.odex, and now copy the files you downloaded from the port and copy them with correct permissions. Then reboot and I think you are all done. Also search for an app or way do delete your cache, including dalvik so you avoid errors. I'm thinking about doing this myself so try it and tell me if something went wrong so I can help
