I've said it before but it bears repeating. If you honestly don't know things like this then; you haven't done enough research, have no business flashing a somewhat experimental ROM like CM, and want to be spoonfed every answer. I cannot believe some of the people who don't think twice about flashing and don't know what to do when things go wrong. Before I flashed my very first ROM on my og droid, I knew everything about the process. Because when things went wrong I wasn't depending on someone else to hold my hand.

Its almost too easy to flash/root anything now. The era of on the edge of your seat, pushing files via adb, praying it works, but knowing exactly what you're doing, is over. It's all on click root apps now. It's a double edged sword, really. People don't take the time to read up on what they're doing, knowing they have the crutch of coming here.

I agree ever so much. I remember rooting/unlocking the thunderbolt when the first root/unlock came out. Took almost 45 mins and if you goofed a few steps your device was a brick. People thought twice back then and were more careful.
As devices get harder to brick people just do whatever and as you said will just come here for help. I have spent hours and hours breaking things just to figure out how they work. I came to this phone and released the first working 100% deodexed ROM for this phone because of it. I spent hours and hours trying to figure out why the others couldn't.
So I get a little bothered when people spend 10 mins and give up and expect help.

The thunderbolt is such a pain to root I am shocked that I didn't brick my cousin's phone. Yeah phones are much easier to root but it is also much easier to solve a lot of the issues you come across on your own. I for one won't be bothering you nosympathy or any developer with questions unless I exhaust all my options.

Haha don't take it the wrong way I don't mind helping but when people post a question answered two posts above them or create a thread for a question when one exists and is still on the front page, those are where I get annoyed.

Cool. No one is going to get anywhere until the source is released, which should be around november 17 when the galaxy nexus comes out. Then hopefully linuxbozo can do some magic haha or just simply wait for cm9, which linux will have to port that over (should be a little easier then the first idea). Can't wait linux! All hopes on you for at least getting cm9 working haha.

Agreed. It takes a lot of reading, and sometimes trial and error (with a good portion of patience).
I had a friend who tried to flash and thought he bricked his phone, after hours and hours of trying to fix it. Gave it to me and after a little while more got it fully working.
It's pretty hard to brick these phones, and it'll almost never happen if you follow instruction (probably like 99.9% of the time you won't brick).
Once you get the hang of it it's pretty easy.
i don't think you really learn until you brick(soft). Thats how I did.
Well, I finally did it - back to stock. Just had too many issues with the roms, although they were super fun.
I thought, "Well the stock Froyo didn't have any issues from what I remember..."
Except all the force closes. It's amazing. I remember now how bad it was.
And yes, I'm rooted.
What can I do to fix these? These random force closes are brutal. Other people must be dealing with this.
Thanks!
Unroot, and just run. It sucks, im forced on it until i trade mine in. Trust me, it gets soo laggy makes the phone look like its a piece of junk. Im trying to get out of this brutal life to go to some *ahem* delicious snack builds.

First of all, THANKS for the reply.
I'm wondering if this is a Titanium Backup issue. I get a TON of single vibrate than three-vibrate signals followed by a mobile manager close (or other force close). I always use TB to reinstall my apps after a rom flash. I only do app reinstall (not app + data)
But the one-vibrate followed by three-vibrate, that happens all the time.
Just like the first responder said, the lag is INSANE even on stock froyo and the force closes are frustrating.
Should I re-go back to stock and just never use TB and install all apps manually? Or is there a way to figure this out? Because if so, I can shoot back up to a nice ICS build.
THANK you!!!
I use TB regularly... best $$ for an app I spent...if your just gonna settle for stock why not go with qkster one clicker... to stock ?
I backup and restore regularly no prob...

Please don't assume anything. As someone who had a computer repair business, I can attest to the fact that sometimes hardware just doesn't play nice no matter what you do. Or are you one of those people that think hardware can never be at fault?
My phone had the same issues with any rom I tried. And no, I wasn't doing anything wrong. I tried installing from rooted stock, did all the wipes and formatting, but every time it eventually became glitchy. So far, stock works fine for me, so I'm sticking with it. There's obviously something about my hardware that doesn't agree with the updated kernel/software.
Samsung made millions of these phones. Do really believe that every single one will work perfectly with software that wasn't intended for it in the first place?
Short answer, no. Everyone was just trying to help. We see a ton of these threads saying there is a problem only to find out someone made a mistake or skipped a step.

When someone goes around saying it's definitely this or definitely that, yeah, I have a problem with it. You're implying that there's no chance of it being hardware related. That right there shows how much you really know.

Hi guys - no, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to be running GB or ICS without the force close issues.
Maybe my second post got lost among the, ahem, spirited debate but I would love some assistance.
I'm 99.9% sure I reflashed back to stock correctly. Then all I did was a recovery with TB (app only, no data). I've read elsewhere this could be the culprit.
Any ideas? This force close and lag thing is driving me nuts. Plus it hinders any roms I flash for GB or ICS.
Thank you in advance!
So yesterday i was running cm9 and i decided to flash a rom...i went into recovery and wiped and cleared every thing just like normal. When i rebooted the phone the samsung logo came on for about 5 seconds and then the screen when blank. So i thought i was just flash the stock image and start all over. So when i opened odin and it looked like everything was working just fine then it stopped.the first part was going through like it was supposed to then i seen the fail sign.... I have some pics that i have posted to show you guys what happened.. I been ripping my hair out of my ass all day since last night.... Please help.... I would hate to have a $600 paper weight...

You can't expect people to be super helpful to everyone that screams BRICK after not following directions. The boards have been bombarded with thread after thread of people not reading and not paying attention and just flashing blindly since the bootloader was unlocked.
This is exactly why Verizon does what they do, because they know there are more people that DON'T know what they're doing and DON'T read than those that do and take the time to read and meditate on it before getting flash-happy. The people who don't read are the ones who commit insurance fraud and pawn these devices back on Verizon.
To the OP: Consider this experience a lesson in reading before doing anything, absolutely anything. Double check, triple check, ask if you are unsure of the method BEFORE hand rather than after. Post in the correct section and wait for someone to help you out of the mess you caused.
I'm sorry if I'm being rude, but I'm really sick of seeing so many threads about people who don't listen.

A lot of the information around here is confusing and complex, and none of it is laid out clearly. I really don't think we can blame newbs for messing up.

Actually it's laid out in steps and very easy to read. All you have to do is read. If you don't understand something, ask. In the mean time, you could research it. It's nobody's fault but their own if they're impatient and don't feel like researching while messing with their $600 device. There's no excuse.
People go through a lot of hassle and free time writing stickies and guides to these steps. Don't tell me it's not laid out clearly.
I agreee. the steps are there, the information is there. I accidentally almost bricked mine because I did steps out of order but was able to recover just by reading threads and searching. Anything I don't understand, I back away slowly from.

The information here is only clear to people who have put in a lot of time reading, and searching for clarifications. ...but the reality is that for a newb, it is extremely confusing. For example, the terms ROM/kernel/radio/modem aren't not used consistently through the forums, and even some of the more seasoned people mis-use them time to time.
We have this notion that spending hundreds of hours trolling the forums and threads is some sort of badge of honor, but in reality it only speaks to our own lack of entry level guides.
I'm not expecting you guys to revamp the system, I'm just saying we need to be more tolerant.
Hey just wondering if anyone knows when the cm10 camera will get the option to save to external? It seems like such a simple but useful option that they just left out which was on cm9 and i'm sure they will eventually include.

Do you ever do anything besides troll these threads to hunt for people posting in the wrong category? Seriously, I've never seen any comment you've made on XDA that adds value or benefit to any discussion. He should post in a CM thread with 1,000 replies so his question can get buried under half a dozen ongoing discussions in the thread? OP had a legitimate question so he posted in Q&A. Get a life bro.

I hate to say it bro, but check his thanks meter, then check urs. Not too mention his old account...
He's been around soooo long he got tired of noobs not reading, and instead of trolling, simply reports.

No need to get butthurt, I'm just pointing out that it's a completely toolish thing to do. Forgive me for not bowing at the alter of the almighty thanks meter.

Wow, I defended u and my names not even in that list... tear :QP
But back on track, to the op, ETA's for cm10 are unknown. They're currently working on getting the codebase stable, but once that's done second tier features like this one will be implemented

This was asked on my thread and the best answer is: it's up to you. If it's important to you, see if you can hack it out. Or try to get someone to work on it for you. And I used to give **** to illnevertell, who coincidentally is someone I'd call a friend now. Does he troll? yeah. Could it be called annoying to some? Sure, but he has a point and his hearts in the right place. As I've mentioned before, its like being a government employee; when you deal with assholes and morons all day long, you begin to think that everybody is one. Question after question that could be handled without wasting anyone's time gets annoying as well. I actually saw a thread begun a while back for a douche mad at XDA and everyone in it because the idiot asked a dumb question in a dumber way and got his panties all bunched up at some ribbing about it. I believe it was something to the effect of "I am going to tell everyone I know on the net to stay away from XDA". Seriously? This is supposed to be a learning and sharing forum, not ****ing tech support for morons who want a flashy phone without doing anything to earn it. Go on ****ing Craigslist and find one of those assholes who sell ROM flashing, ok?
**This was not meant for the OP, just got off on a little rant of my own. Illnevertell can be harsh, but that doesn't make him wrong.
