Hi, guy. I'm new to android, inspire 4g is my first smartphone. I spent a tone of time learn how to root, radio s-off, sim-unlock my device. I used the "hackerize-ace" package V9. I'm currently using 【rom】 Android Revolution 4G 3.2， 【bootloader】 ace-hacker SHIP-S-Off(something like this), 【clockworkmod recovery】 3.0.0.6 (something like this) 【software version】2.2.1 . I'm having a hard time trying to install a new theme for my phone, can anyone help me out? provide me with more detailed steps? Thank you very much. If you need more information in order to help, please let me know.

What kind of trouble are you having? What is happening when you try to flash the theme? I am assuming you have flashed the rom then a full reboot then flash the theme.
ummm, I flash the rom, then reboot device, then use rom manage to install(in recovery). But, the theme did not appear the same as post. And some places, like the phonebook/contacts list looked mess up.
For your contact list, sounds like a font provlem. Your best bet would be to ask the theme dev.

Make sure you are installing the 1.84 version of whatever theme you choose. That may be your problem.

Thanks man! it works, but got 1 program force close at the begining.
I installed Xboarders stock OTA with root and superuser is there so I assume I am rooted. The first thing on my list is to get rid of FU***** car home I have no use for that thing. so how do I do it. If someone can tell me how to do it for general apps that would be great because there are a few that I dont think I want.

get root uninstaller btw how are you an |OP| ?
OM I Dont know What is an OP?
So there is a program in the market for it okay cool. Now I noticed that Xboarder included a few things along with the rom that have to be installed seperatly and the lg camera went back to stock so All I have to do is reflash the cammera and any of those tweeks that I might want right? Can I do it all at once or do I have to reboot each time I copy a .zip from my SD card?
And the other thing is I have been using mybackup pro because you didnt need root and it worked like a charm to restore all my apps and data I got titainium pro but do I really need it I noticed that now that I have root mybackup has a few extras for root users.
That brings me to another question what is the Dalvik cache? And should it be wiped. I get the impression it is kinda like RAM is that accurate? Sorry for all the questions but this is how I learn.

Android applications are basically java apps. Google didn't want to license java from Sun (now Oracle) so they wrote their own compatible version of it in a clean room environment (no intellectual property infringements but Oracle is suing them anyway) and called it "Dalvik." The Dalvik cache is the section of memory used by Android for java processes. Yes, it should be wiped EVERY time you flash a new rom or update any system app as a root user. Not clearing the cache can result in all sorts of problems including lockups, slowdowns and unexpected reboots. Keep in mind that after clearing the Dalvik cache the phone will take about five minutes to start up the first time (will be stuck on the boot screen while it is doing this) to rebuild the Dalvik cache. After the first boot the phone will be back to its incredibly short bootup time on subsequent boots. Do yourself a favor and clear the Dalvik cache.
Well now I see why I need titaium back up I answered my own question it is la multi purpose tool more than just backup. I noticed that you can do some damage if you uninsdtall certian programs I actually read that if you uninstall systerm apps it will stop you from getting any OTA updates in the future. I dont know how true that is anyone know? For now I just froze car home with titainium.

Because he created the post? lol
And I'd just search around in the Development Section... I recommend CM7 Nightly with the stock Kernel.
So now I downloaded Rom manager and I have some more questions first the first option is to flash cwm recovory didn't I do that already? Second I see an option to backup current rom is that the same as what I did In cwm before I did anything.g else? And if so will it overwrite my current one i ask because I don't want to loose my current one it is my stock backup. Sorry for all the stupid questions but I am really learning

Hey it is really quite simple just flash clockworkmod then flash xboardeds stock ota with root or any ROM that is pre rooted (most are) and boom you are rooted. A quick search in this fourm will tell you

But that doesn't give u a permanent root ...can use root enabled apps?

Can we just rename the G2X forums to the "How Do I Get Root" forums?
Yes you Can use apps and the phone is permanently rooted as far as I know I have been usingq things that say you need root and they work fine

NVFlash isn't impeded by this or any software update so you will always be able to use clockwork to flash new roms, pretty much all of which are rooted.

No. Root exists within the rom; if you change to a non-rooted rom from a rooted one you will lose root. However, unless you specifically go out of your way to unroot, a rooted rom will stay rooted.
Oh, and to answer your earlier question about Rom Manager, it's a totally unnecessary tool. There is nothing it does that you can't do manually from recovery. Ignore that it even exists.

I thought so it really does seem like there is no real reason for it. I am actually uninstall it.

Stay the hell away from ROM Manager...it's dangerous and frankly shouldn't exist at all.
If you want to use CWM, flash it to "real" recovery like you're supposed to.
Ok people, Here is a couple of Questions for you. My AT&T One X is rooted with an unlocked bootloader however, I am running a stock Rom. I just started getting this AT&T message that is giving me the option to update my software. But! It gives me a choice of 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8 hours to remind me if I do not do it now. If I let the update happen, will it crash my phone? Will it take out my root? Permanently ?? I am afraid to update because I have been reading that AT&T has been trying to fix their back door.
Also, How can I stop the reminder from coming back???
Flash a custom rom cleanrom 2.5 se is nice. Its really the best way. It blocks ota.

Or CleanROM Lite (very slim speedy rom mostly everything stripped out install own apps from market)

And then kernal from (general consensus is 1.82 is the best for performance and battery.

I will do that. I have to get up early for work so I will be back on tomorrow night. One last thing though, you said to flash the Rom then the Kernal? I thought the Kernal came first.
Oh and what if I flash the Kernal without updating to the new Rom? The reason I'm asking is that My wife has the same phone However hers is Rooted but not BL un-locked. so if I flash just the Kernal would it work? Then, would it solve the AT&T reminders to upload their Rom?
Sorry for all the Questions, Gary
These kernals are recovery flashable. Meaning from CWM so ordet doesn't matter, technically the Rom will flash a kernel, but some users say one is better than another so just throwing out options. I don think there is a way to get rid.of.the notification unless you could.freeze the updater app with something like titanium backup, or go custom Rom route.

I want to thank you for the recomending this Rom it all went in beutifully! I ended up flashing my wifes phone also.
Today AT&T sent us messages that stated that there would be no more reminders and that if we did not choose to update they would update anyway. So I shut down the phones until I got off work and took out our access cards then turned off Wi-Fi. Finnally when I could this afternoon I started flashing.
Nice, I'm glad it worked out for you. CleanROM lite is nice too, if you want a leaner Rom.

I have flashed two custom ROMs now and both have been glitchy and slow. (stuttering, freezes, FCs, etc)
I found my original nandroid from just barely post unlock/root, and restored it. I'm on 1.7x and would like to stay that way if at all possible.
Does anyone know what to freeze in TiBa in order to get this to stop? I just want to stay on stock/rooted for right now.

Try cleanrom now, you need to give it a day to build up caches, but it was rebuilt on a more stable Rom.

Is there any reason I'd want to keep my 1.7x and NOT update (if I can help it)?
Every time I flash something on this phone, it seems to slow way way down. I just want it to stay where it is.
Trust me, It's worth the trouble of doing it.

Been running CleanRom 1.1 lite for about 12 hours and its WAY better than stock by far! Flashed the battery percentage and dim 3 led's and dual core mod. Couldnt ask for anything more
thanks!
So if I have 1.73 rooted with bootloader unlocked. Can i just install clean rom to update to 1.85? or do i first have to update? If i have to update first is it better to use the Peter's guide post or can i just use bootkeeper and to the ota update?
Thanks!
Hey community?
I have been following this wonderful community for more than a year and had a question regarding how to install Blindice v12 on my desire s with s-on.
I have had cm7 and miui on my device before. It means you can't straight flash through recovery( you have to flash kernel through fastboot). So when I open bindicev12.zip, I see a kernel folder and four different folders named : default, sio, smartass and sweeptowake which have their individual boot.img . So which one should I flash? The default one? Help is really appreciated.
Check the updater script to find hints and identify which boot.img you should flash.
There should be, somewhat close, to "if" clauses.
I haven't installed blindice yet so really just trying to help out, out from common sense.

Thanks I think the sweeptowake,sio etc are just governers. The default one is cm9. Is is safe though?

You'll never know unless you try. Based on experience, if the rom is on a wrong kernel, it just not boot up. You may end with a boot loop or boot directly to recovery. Those are the signs that your are not on the correct kernel(boot.img).

Cheers. Changed my mind. I am gonna install different ics from vampire36 as blindice is no longer under development.
I believe the dev is now focusing on BlindBean..

Noob.
Hello,
I tried rooting my HTC One S but that didn't go as expected. I used this but it failed and now a lot of apps are force closing on me. I have no idea what happened. Anyways how do I restore the stock ROM? I am really new to this device so I have no idea where to start.
I am in Belgium (Europe) so I'd like to keep that firmware. I had created a backup using the backup thing from adb? (idk it asked me for a backup and I could add a password if I wanted).
I really hope I can fix this :/
Thanks in advance..
EDIT: I noticed the device is going really slow (animations and such). Buh
I used an RUU to fix everything. Much easier than using Odin on my old Galaxies. Sweet!

The link you posted is blank. What ROM did you install?
I had the issue with the PAC-man ROM using 4.3.
I didn't flash any ROM, that's why I find it so weird.
I used some one click root method because I knew these worked on my Nexus 7 and Asus TF700 as well. I guess I was wrong.
