Hi!
I flashed pac-rom but it keeps my phone awake 24hrs even when i am sleeping therefore 70% battery consumption when i am sleeping and everyday i have been posting in that thread for help or update but dev has left,and this was a stable version with never ending problems for me.So i want to remove this and see if the other rom also behaves like this or not.
I want to remove this rom and gapps as well but i am a newbie and never did this before.I will be really grateful if someone guide me step by step in this.
Please reply soon coz i am not able to live a normal life as battery is creating problems for me.Thanks a lot in advance
LG P500 rooted,pac-rom,aokp 4.2.2,stock kernel

As i said i am newbie things are not clear to me and what i asked in the question is not mentioned clearly and exactly.And since 7 days i am stuck in this esp last three days coz either the rom is a problem or need to be reflashed.And how to remove gapps etc that is not clear dear.Anyone who has a helping nature would write few lines or steps if he wants to help.My head is screwed up with this rom,nothing is working properly and all the time i am busy with my phone.Can't even open my eyes now as i have been continously looking at small screen.
Do not know if i have to reset the phone again or what,how to remove gapps as i do not have google store,gmail and maps in that. I always try to help a newbie coz i know he will not understand things clearly and can screw up,and in my case an experience person can tell if it is some thing else i should do along with that i.e if he would be concerned.
You are the king man so you would not know these small petty things.
Anyway thanks for whatever best you could do.
@kitu34: The procedure for flashing a new ROM is always the same:
1. Download the ROM, put it on your SD card (I recommend creating a folder in your SD card for your ROMs, kernels, etc., so that they're all in one place, but that's just a suggestion, not a requirement. Optional: Download the recommended GAPPS package for the ROM (if the ROM comes with built-in GAPPS, no need to download this).
2. Boot into recovery. You should be able to reboot into recovery simply by pressing power button > reboot > recovery. If not, then shutdown the phone and press & hold power+volume down+home.
3. In recovery, perform a factory reset (wipe data & cache), wipe dalvik-cache, and wipe system.
4. In recovery, flash the zip of the ROM you want to install (the procedure for this depends on your custom recovery; just browse around the menus for the option to flash a zip). If the ROM has a separate GAPPS package, you can also flash it here. Note: Always flash the GAPPS after you flash the ROM, not before.
5. Reboot system.
Flashing a custom kernel uses the same procedure, except you only wipe cache & dalvik-cache in step 3.

Update the ROM? Do you mean flashing a newer version of the same ROM? Some ROMs can be updated by simply wiping cache, dalvik, & system (no need to wipe data), then flashing the new version. Personally, I advise doing a clean install every time when installing a new ROM, even if it's just an update. That means a full wipe: data, cache, dalvik-cache, & system. A clean install helps you avoid potential errors.

If you want good battery life, then I suggest staying away from Jelly Bean ROMs for now -- the battery drain is huge. If you want to try a stable JB ROM, then the latest Jenkins build is good, as long as you don't mind battery drain and a couple of relatively major bugs (those being bluetooth A2DP not working and wifi hotspot reboot).
If you want a relatively more stable, but still high-end, ROM, then stick with ICS. Hephappy's CM9 is good (check the thread in the General LG-P500 forum), or if you want a tweaked & modded ICS, then get neko95's ICySNAP.
That said, the king of battery life still is Gingerbread. I'm personally using the latest unofficial CM7.2 build by FitAmp; it's stable and with good battery life, better than ICS or JB.

ok then for now i will try jenkin's coz that was the first rom i downloaded on my pc but did not flash.actually i have serious battery and other issues that is why i am just getting rid of this now and then read about the roms you mentioned.after fashing i will tell you how it goes and if that also has a battery issue then the next...so kind of you to help as there are very few people here who really want to help.(the other day grgtm from cebu really helped me when my phone went in fastboot,cebu guys are damn good hehe)thanks a lot
4. In recovery, flash the zip of the ROM you want to install (the procedure for this depends on your custom recovery; just browse around the menus for the option to flash a zip).

I am doing with jenkins as i already have but it does not have gapps as i am not flashing the very last update which has gapps with it.\So is it ok to use rashed's cm10's mini gapps?

Yes, Rashed's mini gapps is for all cm10.x roms, including the Jenkins builds.
Edit: By the way, grgtm is from Romania, not Cebu (Philippines). You probably got him mixed up with someone else.

The home button not working is a result of a GAPPS error when the system partition is too full. You'll need to trim the ROM prior to flashing (search the cm10 thread; it's too complicated for me to explain here) or download the version of cm10.1 with built-in GAPPS. The fact of the matter is, our phones has a very small system partition, hence why we have to go to all this trouble when using JB.

You're seriously going to need to learn how to help yourself, @kitu34. Instead of asking for step-by-step instructions all the time, try looking for them yourself; simply using the "search this thread" function and running a search for "trim" in Rashed's thread would give you what you need. In fact, here's the link to the program used to trim ROMs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33349661 -- that link was in the first post of Rashed's thread, labeled (and in very big letters) CLICK ME. The instructions for using the program is also in the thread, and the program's interface is so simple that simply browsing around should tell you what to do.

I tried Jenkins with rashed's mini gapps and worked perfectly(except battery drain), instead using an tool for rom editing, use an app like root uninstaller to get read of unnecessary apps to free some space on internal memory or use an d2ext script(but it got some strange behavior from my phone, you need a really fast sd card, an class 10 for that, and a reliable brand, mine is class 4, so in the final, sd card will worth half price of the phone)

Thanks,i have both titanium and es explorer,can i do with that by simply uninstalling system app? Actually someone told me not to this way and instead trim the rom.Even i am confused what is the difference.Either it creates problems or the amount of space we get by uninstalling with titanium is less compared to trimming the rom.
I will later what i did later.

Just wanted to start off and say a BIG THANKS for LinuxBozo and his amazing infuse mod which lets us use the other samsung roms (JVQ restricted )
I have been experimenting ALOT with various roms and thought i would share some of which i have tested out so far, the only one which gave me some issues was Sensation 2.0 , seems like when you reboot, sometimes you get no netwrok, then reboot, and icons are missing, so its a question.
Obviously this isnt really an OFFICAL rom for the Infuse, but id like to know if anyone else has had nice experience or recommendations for use with this dude's rom.

Hellraiser uses the same Rogers RIL that Infused v2 does, so probably not. (RIL is one of the things that gets swapped out.)
It's often hard to tell for sure because many frameworks won't show HSPA+ even if the RIL/modem are operating in that mode. Hell, even our original Froyo ROMs were broken in that way - they displayed UMTS when in HSPA+ mode. (UMTS is plain vanilla 3G.)
GingerReal - V7.1.4 JVQ
Been running GingerReal V7.1.4 JVQ with Infusion GB kernel and I must say it's snappy. I have not had a single problem with anything. And from what I read Quadrant scores don't mean much, but I got a 3500 OC at 1.6. without Stagefright. I did'nt know Stagefright was til I Googled it. But my phone is very fast and I am very happy. Thanks Linux

Which ROM did you test for JVP , i might give it a whirl, i finally finished going through all those roms, The Vibrant rom wasnt very exciting, and seemed to lack the extended power menu drop down which has Reboot, recovery download mode and such, thats a big thing for me.
Darky was my favorite so far,I might try Sensation. If anyone wants to test out a couple JVP roms and try adding in the APN settings, lets see what comes up and post which rom you tested.
Thanks everyone for their input on this, im getting more interested now and i will be trying to use the Infusion Kernel with some of these roms and see if i get a performance boost.
Im not sure if its just me, but whenever i reboot ANY of those roms which are installed with Linux's software , it seems sometimes the icons on the app drawer l ike disappearing, then when i reboot, apps reappear, but the Network to ATT gets cut off, then i reboot again, and sometimes its normal..........Any ideas?

BTW, the default behavior in Sensation is no extended power menu, but if you use the app "Theme Settings (included in the ROM) you can change this.
As to the other issues - that's a new one, I haven't seen it before.

I ran Hawkish 4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032599
I chose it because I saw that the ROM included the background effect from the SGSII, which while I have the SGSII & this feature seems to throw my photos to the way over saturated side - its more appealing for home screen settings and every day use since everything just looked almost wet or gooey. But the setting didn't work I imagine a kernel conflict, but I'm sure this could be built into one of our ROMS later and I wouldn't mind helping out with putting it together.
Overall I thought this ROM was a little laggy for the phone, I'm sure there are others out there that could run MUCH better or smoother.
I find it funny that we get a stock phone and find it boring so we flash a brand new phone to something completely different within an hour and when the next phone comes out we want their stock stuff so we can see how it is on OUR phone...HAHAHA -addicted

I think those are controls for Voodoo Color which:
1) Is extremely difficult to implement on our device (significantly different screen)
2) Is not necessary on our device - our screen fixes most if not all of the problems VC was intended to fix.

Yes sir, I believe you are exactly right. I normally don't like over saturation, but on a HUGE screen it looked great with some gooey gingerbread green stuff around it. My photography looked horrible especially HDR shots, worth it though. The colors on the SGSII and this phone are pretty different tho. But a lot to do with the same resolution on a smaller screen. The screen on the Infuse is a big (no pun) factor that held me to it rather than the SGSII

Okay heres me scenario, hope it helps understand.
1) started off with phone already rooted and such and previously had Infused V2.00 full., Downloaded a JVQ rom ( like Darky's ) , and then downloaded Linux Bozo's rom/mod ) Put both of the zips on the ROOT of the internal SD .
2) backup info and boot into Red recovery.( Shut off device, then hold Vol - and + while pressing power ), release power and continue holding both volume keys).
3) Perform the following
Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache partition, Wipe Dalvik Cache
Install zip from SD card and select the ROM you want to use
Do install from SD card again and this time select the Linux Bozo zip
4) Reboot and you will be in your rom after 10 minutes ( be patient, it takes time ). If you want better performance, install the Infuse GB Kernel. Get it here

I just followed the exact instructions the OP posted up above. With 1 mishap, when I downloaded what I thought was the ROM....I only got the lock-screen (what happens when you read things way too fast & think you know what you did) which I already downloaded and flashed
I mounted the SD card while in recovery and pushed the file containing the ROM over to the phone - flashed it - flashed LinuzBozo's stuff - rebooted & things went well all I had to do was add APN's back.
I really like my current set up BUT I'll probably find something else, before I load the ROM I want I'll run this again with a JVP base and see how things go & defiantly let you guys know. Now I'm curious why it doesn't work for other people.

I think sometimes people either have a bad flash or don't properly wipe data. Same reason lots of people randomly had problems with Infused. (I haven't tried JVP myself though.)
Well, i just finished wrapping up my favorite roms, and i keep jumping between the Sensation rom, and Darky's Rom .
BUT!
I always data wipe, clear cache, factory reset
Idk if this helps, but i saw theres a new Linuz BETA 6 , perhaps this might help problems that a few have been going through.
In closing, i really hope more ROMS designed for the Infuse come fast , i got a feeling with this new mod there will be many to come

This is a very good point. The data wipe is vital for the Infuse no matter what. I have tried it with and without the wipe & all sorts of very strange things go wrong at random. Market apps wont download - Errors when using data - Youtube errors - issues with email. Each time I did it different ones would act up too, never the same.
Full Wipe so far has fixed it without failure
*Edit - Full for me same as prasadudwadia said above - data, cache, and factory reset.

Bugs: You tell me..
READ CAREFULLY:
Ok kernel: You will get a corrupt kernel in this rom simply because kernel devs use the latest NDK release to make kernels. This in turn corrupts the wifi and Bluetooth. So to fix this you will install the rom and then go download either V4.2 or V0.6r from samno's kernel page it has to be those two as only none + kernels will work with this. Remember you must let your phone boot and you must set up your phone before flashing Samno's kernel to fix your wifi and bluetooth.. Remember also that the kernel must be a 21D kernel..
THE FILE SAYS VERSION 1 BUT IS ACTUALLY 1.1 I FORGOT TO CHANGE FOLDER NAME!!

About theme or themes i have found that i cannot make everyone happy with my choice of theme. So instead i have decided that from now on all my roms will be stock. But good news is i will make a video soon on how to customise your own UI with UOT kitchen.. Keep an eye out for that too ..
How to install:
Before you even start you must make sure you have any V20 baseband or any V21 baseband.
1. You must be rooted to root there are plenty of guides that can be found in the general section please have a look.
2. You must have CWM installed guides can also be found in the general section.
3. Switch off your phone.
4. Once turned off hold the power + Volume down key together till it turns on then let go of power whilst still holding the volume down key.
5. Once in CWM you must wipe everything.
6. Install the new rom that you have downloaded from your SD card.
7. When installation is done restart and enjoy.
I'll have some
meemo you're on fire with these roms mang! keep up the great work
I flashed this over the clean rooted chinese V20G, and when I try to turn on Wifi it says "Error" and obviously doesn't work. I wiped data, cache and Dalvik cache when in CWM, flashed the zip and rebooted. I also had no APN's. I'm currently reflashing it, and if it still doesn't work, I'll download it again.
Edit: re-downloaded, same problems. Maybe it doesn't like the chinese rom?
I like... Thanks.

Erm did you read the READ CAREFULLY bit at all or did you just click download and install it blindly? i have placed a bad kernel on purpose you need to start it and set it up via the lg setup then go to samno's kernel page and download his V0.4.2 or V0.6r and install the kernel that will fix everything your Bluetooth, WiFi etc.. I am sick of people not reading is it hard to give up 5 mins of your time to read things or has technology blinded us humans badly? Oh since you will not read you need a 21D kernel but without plus maybe + works too try and tell me..

The rom is not depended on ghost calls it's the baseband flash either V20G or V21E first as kdz to get baseband. Or get the fls files from the kdz and use smart flash to flash V21E or V20G baseband and use any rom without ghost calls..
Anyway soon i will make a V21E rom might as well wait if you don't want this one..

thanks for the default theme by the way... it looks clean as it is
I am looking to flash my phone to ICS/Jelly Bean and have some questions.
1. Does updating to those ROMs impact multitasking? I wonder because they probably eat up a lot more RAM and when I use browsers, I tend to open a lot of tabs which is heavy on RAM usage
2. Is there a performance difference between JB and ICS on the Cappy?
3. Should I go with a built-in kernel or flash a separate one?
4. My phone has never had its kernel changed, same default filesystem, lag etc. etc., should I do anything extra before flashing?
5. I read on another post on the front page that the JB/ICS ROMs also use the internal SD card, mine is mostly full at the moment, how much space do the new ROMs take up?
Thanks for any help. Been considering flashing for a year but my phone recently got the lock screen button stuck problem and now I'm at a crossroads, either I buy a new phone entirely or maybe try to keep this one for a year until my contract runs out and deal with the lock screen problem.

1. In my experience multitasking isn't a problem on either but I don't open a lot of tabs in my browser so could be different for you.
2. If you want good clean performance go with ICS. Jelly Bean roms are still more or less in beta.
3. As far as kernels go stick with the kernel built into the from unless it instructs you otherwise. Or if you are looking for some feature that one kernel offers that another doesn't.
4. Read, read, and then read the instructions again for whatever rom you are going to and follow them. Depending on where you are starting from you may have to do different things.
5. I've personally never paid attention to how much it uses the internal SD if at all. I do know that some ICS and Jelly Bean roms have potential to format your SD card during the flash so make sure you do a backup before moving forward.
When you say the lock screen are you talking about the power button? If yes be very careful moving forward with any flashing. I say that because the power button is used to put the phone into recovery. There are other methods to get into recovery but they don't work for everyone.

I guess that is a good point. My lock screen buttons works but not 100% of the time. Originally the problem hit and it didn't work at all, now it works probably 70% of the time. I didn't remember that I would need it to get into recovery. Maybe I would need to buy a jig, but I guess I should flash now in case it stops working entirely down the line.
I'm also considering buying an S3 but it is quite expensive, at least $620 for it unlocked.
I had wanted to jump into JB because I was looking for decent performance and I don't think I'll be flashing a ton. I've got like 80 apps, tons of home screen stuff etc. that I don't want to restore many times. I just figured if JB is faster, I'd rather go with it.
Thanks for the helping me out.
A jig isn't the best bet because it forces it into download mode. If your button is currently working go for it. Jelly bean roms will eventually be the best thing out there but most of the roms for it haven't been perfected yet.
I have been on everything from 2.1 and up and I can tell you ICS is the best stable thing out there. At least in my opinion.

I've run a rooted 2.2, a rooted 2.3.5, and a few different ROM's, I find that the easiest to use so far is JB, depending on the ROM itself you may run into a few issues with battery drain, but it's not horrible. Multitasking is fine, but I have OS monitor and a RAM booster for quick mem clearing. The only problems that I've ran into with JB ROM's is that you have make sure the internal memory card is backed up, otherwise you'll lose everything you have on it.
I too have thought about getting a SG3, but after flashing the JB ROM, I think I'm satiated until I absolutely have to upgrade my phone.... meaning I'm probably going to stick with this one for another year or so depending on if I'm able to keep it in decent enough shape. For the CM10 ROM's, they've removed the /datadata folder so that may affect slight performance. I got used to it after flashing a ROM that kept the /datadata folder and noticed that it wasn't giving me enough space to work my usual programs on a consistent basis. But overall I'm content with the ROM I chose and the performance so far.

According to my expirience, ICS much better in multitasking, comparing with GB. ICS kernel consumes less RAM and more stable.

If you a going to install CM or AOKP, you defiantly have to install custom kernel. You will also have to install custom baseband (modem). I suppose, same goes to other roms.

Yes. RTFM for the rom you are going to flash. You will have to wipe data and cache, and maybe update bootrom.
I am reading stuff, but a lot of guides say 'Coming from GB' BUT they DO NOT say 'coming from stock', so I wasn't sure if those guides were applicable.
Will CM10 wipe my SD card?
Thanks for all the help so far. Going to flash within a couple of days.
I was figuring Helly Bean but most of the JB roms want you to flash CM10 first anway, so I'll try that out.

Tried following that guide.
Heimdall links are all dead.
Opened Odin, downloaded speedmod kernel, figured I'd install it, then download the rom to SD card and go. I was pretty sure speedmod works with stock Captivate.
Flashed speedmod and now my phone is stuck on the Galaxy S boot screen.
So yeah...that sucked.
Now I'm trying to restore stock with Odin but the instructions don't even say how.
Yeah this is why I don't see myself flashing very often...
And that guide needs more detail.
Ok, well I managed to install CM9.
I'm going to stick with it for now because a couple of you guys warned me off of Jelly Bean.

I'm currently on the 8/13 nightly build of Helly Bean (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783064)
I can say that this particular ROM is ready for use as a daily driver. I've been using it for about a week now and haven't experienced any problems.
With that said, it is important to note that as said before, JB roms are still in beta, including this one. Also it is important to say that I did a completely clean install of this particular ROM (Factory data reset, wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache, etc).
Just thought I let ya know that not all JB roms are scary right now. If you're interested in possibly flashing it, here's the official website: http://hellybean.site11.com/index.html
Don't forget to backup your /EFS folder though, recently some people have had problems with their imei being switched, but this is easily avoidable if you take the proper precautions. Other than that, this ROM is great.
Yeah, I actually mentioned Helly Bean on page 1, it was the JB rom I was considering because it was getting rave reviews.
I had a scare last night about my IMEI then I remembered my IMEI doesn't match my box because it was warranty replaced with a refurb for the shutdown issue, lol, I was freaking out but good thing is it made me backup the EFS folder.
Thanks for the support.
I'll give Helly Bean a try in a bit, I hear it is very snappy and I'm excited about that, coming from stock Gingerbread, I really appreciate an OS that doesn't run like crap!
Does Helly Bean wipe your internal SD card? I was searching for that and couldn't find anything, so I think that means no, but wanted to make sure!

As with any custom ROM there is a potential for odd things happening on one phone that doesn't happen on another. With that being said I flashed helly bean and it didn't format my SD card nor has it effected my efs folder like some people have had trouble with.
Your best bet is to backup everything important to you and the operation of your phone prior to flashing just to be safe.

Backup your efs folder before flashing anything
A few questions before I try Helly Bean, I noted that the kernel is separately available on the download site, am I supposed to flash it separately or is it included with the ROM? The flashing guide doesn't say anything about flashing a kernel.
And I should be able to flash it directly from CM9, correct?
Also this ROM is a lot bigger than CM9, 180MB vs 300MB, does that mean I have far less internal SD space available?

Hello,
I have a general noob question on the custom [ROM] threads.
Do custom ROM's posted go though an alpha, beta, official release stages? I see some [ROM] threads marked with an alpha or beta... while some others are not.
thanks!
U r right, alpha means something major is broken, beta its the "refinig" stage, and final its the complete rom

There is no such thing as release grade. Everything should be considered at least developmental in some form or fashion.
The terms of alpha and beta do not mean what most people think they do in here.
Even the ones marked alpha and beta can still be daily drivers, just take a look at the first post of each ROM you are thinking about and see if the bugs will "bug" you like for instance any of the CM based ROMs here have issues with camera and video and few other small bugs.
Any ROM based off of "stock" will have less/no bugs and therefore not marked as beta or alpha, since they are not compiled.
It all depends on your personal needs as to what you are comfortable with and if you can deal with certain things not working right out of the box, or that you might have to make a work around for.
I call mine "alpha" or "beta" depending on bugs and/or how much more work I expect to put into it... and my mood at the time
Jim explained it well... it's all subjective to the dev and the end-user..
Best to just make a good backup, know how to restore it, and slap a new ROM on your phone to try it out for yourself.
That being said, be on the lookout for a gamma version of Numa ... (j/k - it's been a long time since I was back on ICS)

Regarding making a good back up, Should I just follow the CWM thread? I found this link in the newbie thread. However, there was little explanation on it's use.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19355021&postcount=1
- Does using the CWM recovery to create a back up have any per-requisites? Can I use it on my stock AT&T Atrix2 that is still on GB?
- If I understand correct, this is used to dump an entire image of the phone (firmware, OS, apps, files etc...) to an SD card? And one can later restore back from.
- I am planing flashing the NUMA Rom. If I take a back up using CWM, I assume I can restore everything to they way it was (i.e. back to GB) without risks?
thanks

First, you need to get ICS on your phone if you want to flash Numa. You must be on 4.0.4 firmware to flash any of the ICS and/or JB based ROMs. The choice is yours on how to get there... please search thoroughly, as it has been covered an insane amount of times.
But, to try and answer your questions:
-Yes, the pre-requisites are that you need to be rooted, and have a custom recovery installed on your phone.. and an sdcard. You can do it on your rooted GB phone, but you cannot restore a GB backup while you are on ICS (for the only way to have the option to return to GB from ICS, you need to look here and here - but some will say there's no reason to go back to GB.. maybe nostalgia )
-A backup will backup your current system, data, and sometimes cache - and it will usually make a new folder, named by date, with a few .tar files inside of a "clockworkmod" folder on your sdcard. And yes, those are what you restore (when restoring, you choose the backup by date/folder name).
-No, you can not restore a GB backup from Numa (see above comments.. again) - also see here for a note on compatibly between different custom recovery options (might be easiest/safest to use BMM, I think you can flash all ROMs with that now..)
So if I understand all that correctly, here is my summary of steps to install Numa. Appreciate if you can correct my steps in-line if I am wrong. [Current state of my phone: Atrix2 on stock GB (AT&T). Only thing I have done is uninstalled/removed unwanted apps.]
Steps:
1. First get on ICS leak-1 following Jim thread. [OR OTA to the official/final ICS. But if I do this, I lose the option to return to GB? or will I loose that ability regardless since Numa itself is based on final ICS OTA?]
2. Install CWM A2 bootstrap recover from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19355021&postcount=1
(No point taking a backup now I suppose since going back to GB isn't an option after Numa.)
3. Then follow the install instructions under the Numa Rom thread.
4. Once I have Numa up & running, I suppose I am limited to putting only those ICS/JB based roms that don't require me to be on leak-1?
On a side note, I hate how they have removed the "contacts" tab, "Only show contacts with phone number" option etc... from the Dialer app in ICS and replaced it with the People thingy . I like GB dialer. Also, In ICS they seem to have removed the data saver option that was available in GB.
Thx

If you uninstalled any stock apps, the installation of the update will probably fail, and you will either need to fix your system by replacing everything (very carefully).. or just FXZ back to stock GB<--post is a bit out-dated. [Yes, if you ota to final ICS, you can not return to GB ever. It doesn't matter what the ROM you flash is based on, they basically only change your /system partition (and data) - the problem is the new bootloader in final ICS.
Make a full backup of your stock ICS if you want to go back to it (see below - probably best to use BMM to backup)
2. Install CWM A2 bootstrap recover from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19355021&postcount=1
(No point taking a backup now I suppose since going back to GB isn't an option after Numa.)
You could use that, or BootMenu Manager (I heard that it works to flash roms now - it used to not - and I personally have not tested it recently.. so, not sure - and we also have Safestrap, but not sure of the status on that - still a wip, I think). Either way, you will loose it once you flash Numa... you will need to reinstall it to flash a different rom or make a backup (I recommend using BMM to make a backup since it's compatible with the CM10-based recovery, and since it is easy to uninstall)
3. Then follow the install instructions under the Numa Rom thread.
Yup.. maybe a bit outdated also, but wipe data/factory reset, dalvik-cache maybe, then install zip..
4. Once I have Numa up & running, I suppose I am limited to putting only those ICS/JB based roms that don't require me to be on leak-1?
You can put any ICS/JB rom available for our phone, if you wish - or restore the backup you made of stock ICS before installing Numa
On a side note, I hate how they have removed the "contacts" tab, "Only show contacts with phone number" option etc... from the Dialer app in ICS and replaced it with the People thingy . I like GB dialer. Also, In ICS they seem to have removed the data saver option that was available in GB.
There are other ways to get from dialer to contacts in ICS (underneath the favorites tab, scroll down.. or is that only jb?)
Thx
No prob. Good luck.

Hello, all.
I have a T-Mobile Blaze 4G with rooted stock ROM (Gingerbread), flashed radio version T989UVMC6, manually debloated and dewizzed. I'm running Halo launcher and Busybox Free version 9.6.
Since almost the first day I've had this phone, it would occasionally force close the phone process, usually when hanging up the phone with the Bluetooth radio on and paired with an earpiece. It happened bone stock, rooted, after I changed the modem, whenever. It seemed to happen less often after I changed the modem. The process always starts back up, but the Bluetooth device connection and system sound controls are wonky (unusable) until the phone is rebooted.
The only thing that seems to stop it is running Zepplinrox's V6 Supercharger script. That, however, occasionally freezes the entire system when trying to open certain apps, requiring a reboot. I've run earch after search on this subject, and nobody else seems to have this problem. The only thing I haven't tried is wiping the whole thing and flashing a custom ICS or JB ROM. I tried Dark Knight ver. 8 and hated it pretty much instantly.
I have two questions. Number one; Will flashing a custom ROM fix this situation? I figure that this must be a problem with the crappy stock Samsung ROM. Number two; Which ROM is fully functional and stable? I'd really like to keep this phone dependable. I don't care about the latest and greatest funky cool features that are hit-or-miss at best. I just need dependable, fast and functional.
Since you have been having issues for a while, I would suggest starting fresh. With a few runs of black hole wipe from cwm. Add a run of the gremlin remover for extra cleanliness. Then a flash of the latest ICS rooted stock rom and kernel, for reliability.

I'll definitely go for the rooted version! Does it matter what order in which the ROM and the kernel are flashed? Also, I take it from the name of the download link that I'll have to go through the process of de-bloating this thing again. S'okay, I actually enjoy that part, but I don't want to screw it up since I've not messed with anything newer than GB. Is there a good guide somewhere on the forum for apps that can be dumped safely? I know there was one for GB stock root.
Thanks for the response.

Flash the ROM then the kernel, rewipe cache and davlik, then profit.

A few more silly questions; Do I need GAPPS or is that just for CM? Aren't the CM 10 ICS nightlies fairly stable and relatively bug-free? I use CM7 on my Nook color and it's...okay... Just a few little annoying things pop up with that. To be honest, I like the idea of starting with a clean slate and adding stuff I like rather than pulling stuff out of the Samsung stock ROM, but the issues I've had with the Nook and CM7 have sort of scared me off. Your opinions?

All the AOSP ROMs for the Blaze needs GAPPs. And yes. The latest CM10 nightly is stable. And you said CM10 ICS? CM9 is ICS and CM10 is Jellybean.

The stock roms don't require gapps, but like Wolf said the cm10 jb variants do.
If your willing to use cm10 it is very stable. Just use the latest CM10 nightly and not the old stable version.

Of course. I get a bit confused ever since people started talking about 10.1.
Okay, I went ahead and installed the stock rooted ROM with the stock kernel. Went through the debloating process (mostly, there are some apps that I'm not sure I can do without so they stay for now), and did some customizing. I'm seeing a bit more battery drain. Is this an issue with ICS or do I need to try another kernel or supercharge the phone? I also have this crazy issue with ROM Manager ver. 5.5.3.0. It tells me that there is an updated version of Clockworkmod Recovery, but it freezes when I try to flash from ROM Manager. Also, ROM Manager freezes when I try to reboot into Clockworkmod Recovery. Maybe I need to test a bit more before I mess with it any more.
**EDIT** Well, it looks as if my CWM recovery installation is corrupted. Can I reflash it without messing up my current ROM?

Yes, with Odin, in the Dev forum
BTW, stay away from ROM Manager with our device. I've softbricked so many times because of it, it's ridiculous

Since you have it setup, except for battery life. I would make a backup, then try a mod one at a time and see if any help. Also check the battery stats to see if anything of is seen. ICS will use more juice than GB, generally.
I would suggest Nos/direct injection, supercharger, or cross breeder. I would use one and see, then restore and try another.

Some time later...
I've been using the stock rooted ICS ROM since my last post, debloated and dewizzed of course, with Holo Launcher and T989UVMC6 baseband version flashed. Just over a month has passed, and I have good news!
I FREAKING LOVE THIS PHONE!!!
All of the force close and freezing issues have vanished, the phone's battery lasts almost as long as it did on GB, it's WAY more user friendly, and the phone is as fast as it ever was.
The bad news is that my wife got a GS4 and I lust after it now. : /
Thanks to everyone for their help!
