[Q] New to Optimus 3D and playing with Android

Hi all!
I just got my Optimus 3D on Tuesday on T-Mobile (In the UK) and so far I'm loving the device. Much better than the crappy iPhone 3GS I had before.
Anyway, I've been browsing around these forums and had one or two questions.
The main one is about installing the Performance pack posted here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1168480 however it mentions about making a backup using ClockworkMod Recovery first. Now I did try a search and a look around, but couldn't seem to find a good tutorial on doing that. How should I go about installing ClockworkMod and how can I use it to make a backup of my phone? And in the event of anything going wrong, how can I use it to restore my phone to its previous state?
Then, when it comes to installing the pack itself, do I need to root my device in order to do this? Or can I install it using the stock LG ROM that came pre-installed?
In order to install the pack, do I simply connect using my USB cable and drag the files into the phone and over-write the pre-existing files?
Sorry if these questions sound basic, but as I said I'm somewhat new to Android, and I did try to search around but couldn't find a thread asking these questions for this device.

First root your device. Then install Rom Manager from the Market and install Clockwork thru the app. After, create a backup and then flash performance pack. I would get 2650 Quadrant score before and now I've gotten 3300!
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA App

If I root the device does that mean putting on a generic Android ROM? So would I lose all the pre-installed 3D apps/games and LG stuff? Or is rooting not the same as flashing a totally new ROM onto the phone?

Rooting just gives you access to system files and folders.

Ahhh I see, thanks.
I'll root my phone when I get home from work using the tutorial here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1173431 then and download/install ROM Manager from the market. Is there any real advantage to getting the premium version of ROM Manager? Or will the free version suffice for the performance pack?
Once I have got ROM Manager installed, how do I install Clockwork and use it to take a backup? And then how do I flash the performance pack?

The premium just gets you some extra downloads (ROMS and tweaks) directly from your phone. There are no ROMS or tweaks for the O3D so no point in getting premium IMHO. The free one is more than enough.
After you install ROM manager, open the app and click on "flash clockworkmod recovery" and it will install the recovery.
After you install the recovery, you just click on backup current ROM and it will reboot and backup your phone.

Well I'm rooted and have made a backup, though I'm still unsure how to install the performance pack. I've downloaded the zip file with the folders inside, but I'm not sure what to do with it.

You need to boot into recovery and choose install from zip and chose the zip. Of course you need to put the the zip on the phone first.

Thanks! That worked a treat. Took a little bit of figuring out how to get into recovery mode, I was trying holding the volume keys whilst pressing the power button, but holding Up didn't seem to do anything, and holding down booted the phone into Safe Mode (Phones have Safe Mode's now?)
But I got there in the end through RomManager, and things certainly do seem to be running even faster now (not that it was slow before!).
Just for future reference though, incase I need to boot into recovery to do a restore, what's the correct hardware method to boot into recovery on the O3D from a powered off state?
One other question I have. When the 2.3 update comes out in September/October (I've seen conflicting reports), will I need to undo the performance pack by restoring from my pre-performance backup? Or will the 2.3 update just overwrite it? Or does nobody quite know yet?

this topic over 2 years old and the exact same thing.

IT DOES NOT GO TO RECOVERY. IT GOES TO SAFE MODE.
There is no recovery.

Keep using Gingerbread, otherwise you will lose the 3D converter capabilities...
the ICS update has one but so far is not really working, not through xbsall's ported version and certainly not through the thrill's official ICS rom...

[Q] Help... No Booty!!

Ive just flashed/rooted my UK Wifi XOOM which all went well.
I was then trying to overclock it using the method stated here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972414)
After installing the boot image the xoom just sits are the motorola dual core logo screen and does nothing.
I've tried searching for a fix or advice but I can't find anything.
Could anyone point me in the right direction please.
Thanks.

in your recovery, restore your backup, then get a oc kernel, I like rogues 1.43, install it in your recovery. the get set cpu from the market and find your sweet spot.
mines 1504 - yours might be higher or lower.
note that set cpu allows profiles for temp, battery, ...

backup.... no one said anything about doing a backup for that section!!
oh poo

Not only that, you used a really old file, from the early days of the Xoom. Please do your research and make sure you're using up-to-date files and methods that are appropriate for your version of Honeycomb OS.

I know that now!!!
Ive tried installing the rooted boot.img from the xoom wifi thread but im still getting the same screen at boot.
It mentions pushing files via adb but once the device hangs at the dual core screen i cant get an adb connection to my pc.
Any ideas or do i now just own a 10.1" soft brick?

Cheers Chris, thanks for the pointers.... I think I've balls'd it up
I mistook the standard Android recovery for CWM after running sausagemod... the ROM flashed but the compatibility file wont... so I'm left with a device with no working touchscreen and trying to install CWM from terminal also fails.. It says ... no /sdcard/recovery.img.
I also can seem to get the device in flash mode so I cant revert to the stock rom ether.
If you have any ideas it would be appreciated... one post in that thread reads very similar to my issue, they edited the 'sh install-recovery.sh' apparently and got the device back... but they haven't been here in years so I don't think will reply...

Well, the good thing is, its pretty hard to balls these devices up. As crappy as they are, its usually always possible to get back to stock, or at least get in functioning again...
That said...when you try to install a new recovery from terminal, are you sure you have unzipped the recovery.zip file into a location on your sdcard that is accessible, and have cd'ed into that directory?
Are you using livesuite to try and flash a new stock rom? I don't have my Astro any more, moved on to HP Touchpads (awesome tablets btw), but I seem to remember it could be a bit finicky to get it into flashing mode, what with button pressing etc...
Have you been to slatedroid.com? There is a section for these tablets there too, under Cortex A8 tablets, might be worth a gander on that site.
If I think of anything else I'll let you know...
Cheers
Edit: if the touchscreen isn't working, you can always connect a usb mouse. I did that with mine once when I had flashed the wrong compatibility zip. Think it came with a mini->standard usb adaptor....
Edit2: if you can link the post that was similar to your problem I will look and see what its about, might help!

Hi Chris! really appreciate your help and getting back to me.... sorry for the delay getting back to you... I was sent away from home for work.
What happened was... I got the drivers installed and working correctly, so I ran sausagemod option 5 and I then mistook the standard Andriod recovery for an early release of CWM... so proceeded to flash the Cyanogenmod 9 ROM, I thought 'Happy days!' its worked... then the MOMO9 file wouldn't flash and I realized that I was indeed in the stock recovery... so subsequently have no touchscreen working.... similar to post 46 in the original thread...
I've connected a keyboard and thought... ahhh this will be easy as I'll run recovery from terminal.... but I thought that had worked but it boots again to the standard android recovery... like in post 28 of the original thread... so again MOMO9 wont flash.
Looking again at the terminal out put it says...'no /sdcard/recovery.img' - I think this is because my 'recovery.img' is on my SD card located at /sdext instead... I guess I would have to edit the CWM file but I'm not really that sure on that... or if it would work...
With no touchscreen I cant click on 'USB storage mode' when I connect it to a PC as I have to use the connection to hook it up to a PC, so I cant use the keyboard... so I cant copy the recovery onto the internal storage and try from there....
And I'm dammed if I can get the bugger to go into 'flash mode' ether so I can return it to stock..... it ether boots or does nothing but blank screen...
I'd be ok if it was mine... but I'm flashing it for my brother which is a blow!

Hi is it possible for you to connect a usb mouse to the tablet, that way you might be able to move the cwm recovery img to the right place? Or use the terminal to move it...when you use the command line to install recovery, are you using the location of the img in your commands? Just type in your location, you won't have to mess with the image itself.
Otherwise livesuite and perseverance should be your route to flashing back to stock and starting again!
Cheers

Or you could open up install-recovery.sh in a text editor and look for the location of the recovery image in that file and change it to suit your setup?

Cheers Chris I'll try that.... I've been trying to install a file manager via terminal.... the odd thing is .APK's dont show up when I go to the root of the SD card and type 'ls' - only .ZIP and .IMG
I'm using the terminal app thats built into the cyanogenmod 9 ROM....
Been hacking Phones and tablets for years... but ever way I turn on this turd with a screen is a dead end....
Edit: I turned on install from unknown sources and theyre now there... but I just get a list of errors go off the screen to fast for me to read... about location etc....
I have no idea what I'm doing in terminal... I left command line with DOS!
I tried this 'pm install astro file manager.apk' I thought that would do it

oh well.... killed it
Just a blank screen... wont turn on.... but I guess its still functioning somewhere as it detects in windows as an unrecognized device...
Livesuite starts but wont flash it..
I built a new PC with 32bit win 7 to flash it... looked to be going ok. it went to 3%, then stoooopid windows tried reinstalling some drivers for it and its been a brick since.
Guess thats game over?
EDIT: Holy [email protected]! it came back! LMAO! its now back to stock!
You were right! I tried my hardest to kill it! dam thing wont die!

Chris, sorry to trouble you again...
I'm back up and running stock... looks like 500m partition size...
I guess to run a custom ROM I need to flash an older stock ROM.... am I really going to gain much with a custom ROM?

Ha ha, good stuff mate, very similar to my experience with the bloody thing….
If you read thru the other thread linked in my first post I'm pretty sure there's a discussion there about flashing custom rom onto a slightly older stock rom as they increased the system partition sizes.
Its worth going for a custom rom. Runs smoother, faster, you just gotta get the damn thing on it in the first place. But worth it when you do!
Cheers
Edit: you may need to flash an older rom… .see this

LOL! DONE IT!
Flashed Cyanogenmod 9 from the original post and MOMO9 compatibility... works great! only problem I have is the resolution appears to be slightly out as icons can go off the screen...
Hmmm wondering about Cyanogenmod 10 now! Hmmmmm what did you end up installing?

Nice, well done mate :good:
Its a while ago, but I think I ended up putting cm10 on it eventually.
The thing with the icons going off the screen can be rectified by using a different launcher, if I remember correctly - try ADW launcher, my personal fave.

Thanks for all your help Chris, really do appreciate it.
I've had a good play with the tablet over the weekend, I can get CM9 installed and working fine... I then flashed a later stock ROM to give me the 500mb /system partition... but the CM10 .zip just wont work... it flashed ok... but it wont go past the rotating boot screen.... am I missing anything?
EDIT:
Hmmmm I've just downloaded the official 4.2 from sumvision... I guess thats the best it will ever get... bit clunky but usable... I wonder if there is a kernel I can flash...?

I had a problem flashing CM10 over the newer stock rom with 500mb system. The only way I managed it was to go back to the earlier stock rom and remove stuff from the CM10 rom to get it to fit on the smaller system partition. It was a while ago, sorry if that's not much help...
Good luck!
Cheers

Did you unlock your tablet? if not you have to do that first! then download hundsbuah kernel(or a kernel that supports 1.7GHZ) here: http://www.mediafire.com/?5mr686tby6zxsi8
it is a flashable zip so you need twrp recovery!
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T

Im guessing your new to this so make sure you realise that u'll lose your warrenty if you unlock the tablet, if your still on 4.0.2 make sure you look into nvflash.

I appreciate you guys helping me out. It really means a lot!
Anywho... yes, my tablet is Unlocked. I thought by mentioning it's rooted it would be obvious that it would be unlocked. I guess I'm wrong.
What do I do AFTER I flash Hundsbuah? Which safe ROM do I flash next?
Do you guys think I can make it higher than 1.7 GHz safely?

I'll answer your last question first. 1.7 is as high as I have seen this tablet oc'ed and it remain stable, and many people can't even go that high. And with Hundsbauh's kernel 1.7 is the max.
I am running CROMI-X version 4.6.9 and it is an awesome custom a ROM. I have used both of those through several versions with great results.
That said, with CROMI you need to flash it first, then flash hundsbauh's kernel after you have booted into the rom once and allowed it to stabilize. Also, be sure when you flash the custom ROM the first time that you do a full wipe from twrp first.
Finally, there is a new version of CROMI in the works that will allow you to flash Hundsbuah's kernel at the same time you flash the rom. It is due out in a few days.
Whatever you do, read, read and read some more about the rom/kernel you choose BEFORE you flash. Many people have jumped in half-cocked and bricked their tablets.
Let me know if you have any questions (I am sure you have many).
Kindest Regards

Thank you so much pastor Bob for the detailed description of how CROMI and Hundsbuah works!
I actually do have many questions as a noob:
1. -How would I do a full wipe of my Tablet using bootloader?
-To branch out the question even more, what is a bootloader? and why does it matter so much? (seen many people saying to NOT full wipe from bootloader when flashing custom ROMs.)
-Did this unlock my device? (mine is apparently, JOP40D.WW_epad 10.6.1.15.3-XXXXXXXXX)
2. What the heck is SuperSU for anyways? I have it and it doesnt do anything and it keeps popping even when i do a full wipe.
3. Can you create a NANDroid backup without having to do it by using custom recovery?
What is Titanium Backup for? what is it so popular?
4. Lastly, is this a good instructions to follow in order to FINALLY overclock my tablet? ---->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223492

Doing a full wipe is done by the recovery kernel (twrp) its simply formats the internal sdcard like you would a usb flash drive on windows.
As for the boot loader, all computers have them. Their task is to fetch the kernel from memory, in our case it can fetch the android kernel and boot or it can fetch the recovery kernel. Choosing wipe from bootloader will wipe both android and recovery afaik but ive never done it.
Supersu is an application that manages access to / "root" or the lowest level of the android filesystem. Rooting your device allows applications to access / with read write permissions, Supersu and others manage applications that ask for access to / .
For a NANDroid without a custom recovery, you can backup whole partitions with NvFlash, but im not sure how or if this is possible with adb/fastboot. Titanium backup allows you to "freeze" an appplications and save the files so even if you uninstall it, it can be recovered by titanium backup.
Simply unlock your tablet, install twrp, find and flash a custom kernel and download trickstermod or the likes and you can overclock within the range the developer has designed the kernel to allow for.
Good luck mate
EDIT : By the way some of our devices can overclock far past 1.7ghz and 650mhz gpu. Ive flashed a couple of tf700 kernels and 1800mhz and 700mhz is completely stable, i saw a thread somewhere in general of someone who compiled a kernel with an overclock of 2ghz but only some tf300ts cacn handle it. It all depends on our cpu revision

Sorry 404 on the page you linked, im assuming it was this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223492 which if you scroll down, you'll find this: http://d-h.st/lmM this is a package of kernels that work with Cromi and stock/ or stock based roms. This kernel package is exactly the same as the one in the tf300t thread for cromi. When you flash it with twrp, ull get a nice gui pop up (Aroma interface) u'll then get the choose between tf300t and tf700 kernels, only a few from the tf700 are compatible (Hint: the second to last is the best).
Your not going to realistically see a difference between tf300t and tf700 kernels. If you get around 7000 in quadrant your performing the same as most tf700s with custom kernels.
After that the last step is to download an overclocking app, my personal favorite is trickstermod, there are probably hundreds so just give a few a try

Thank you for your replies, JoinTheRealms! I really appreciate it. I have "No-frills CPU" app. I assume that's one of the overclocking app that's acceptable.
ONE QUESTION though: Do I ALWAYS need to wipe to factory reset every time I flash a new kernal???
By the Way, I decided to flash this ROM I got from one of the links someone shared here: http://www.mediafire.com/?5mr686tby6zxsi8
I was able finally overclock my tablet to 1.7GHz! =)))) (Note: it does something weird everytime it boots up. The asus logo goes 'burzerk' for like half a second. Weird...)
Would you happen to know something better, in terms of performance, visual effects and stability?? hehe please do share! =)

Yeah no frills is good, you can try pimpmyrom it has alot of tweaks and customizations for the kernel/ os.
No you dont need to wipe anything after a kernel flash, only when flashing a rom do you need to use 'factory restore' (it just wipes system and data) and this doesn't apply to all roms it just depends on what the roms based on. e.g you can flash cromi over a stock rom without wiping system and data (because cromi is stock based, just with modifications. There are a few others that full into this category). its good practice to wipe dalvik and cache after every rom flash though.
Dont worry about the artifacts while booting, ive ran that kernel for weeks without issue.
Id say this kernel is the best in terms of performance (overclocks to 1.8ghz, ive benchmarked over 7000 with quadrant) http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22945124161945688 (its by Surdu Petru for 4.2 bootloader and stock based roms)
If your feeling adventorous give ubuntu on your tf300t a try, im currently dual booting android 4.1 with ubuntu 12.10 works ver well

All I gotta do is synchronize it with my google account to avoid having to download every single app i had for my tablet correct?
wow... I didnt even know you can dual boot.
I think ill stick with hundsbuah's for now and see if i further need to upgrade.
Thank you for your input JoinTheRealms!

Cant install custom recovery & rom

Hello everyone.......... So lets begin from the starting. I have recently bought an iphone x clone device. I thought it will have good enough hardware compared to its price but unfortunately it only has attractive outlook finishing but inside its really bad. I cant even watch youtube videos because of hang & crash. So I decided to root it and install ram expanding software to create vram which really helped solving the crashes....... But still the device feels laggy so I was thinking about installing a soft custom rom which will consume less rom & ram. I tried to backup my stock recovery and install a twrp custom recovery via different apps like flashify, mobile uncle tool, twrp manager etc. But all of them failed to create a backup or even flash a recovery. I had to try different custom recovery image as my device is clone and not included inside twrp supported device list. I even downloaded my stock recovery from internet (not 100% sure if its the right one but tried my luck as I couldn't collect a backup copy of my stock recovery from adb) and tried to port with other custom recoveries and install it...... But still all I boot into is my chinese stock recovery which is useless for me. After trying 2 days I have done everything I could and couldn't get further than rooting and installing some useful apps to make my device little bit stable. But this isn't enough, I need help now to find correct custom recovery and soft custom rom for my device.
Here are some pics about my device details which will help you get some idea about which device im using. drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ieMNTSkgTAIWNn1xNSqg2iCzUPXheEdI?usp=sharing

Lol, it's because you have an unsupported cloned device that has no actual stock source or stock firmware to work with, it has a firmware that has been hacked together. Ask yourself why it has hacked software, it is because there is no real software for this device other than what they hacked together when they made it. I doubt you'll find anything that can be installed "as-is", you'll have to do the same thing the device maker did, you'll have to put your own software together which will require either building a whole new ROM for your device or it will require porting an existing ROM to work on your device.
It is very difficult to identify cloned hardware and very difficult to find compatible software.
And this is a "large active tech community" but most members here don't have/own/use/buy or have experience with cloned devices because we know they are junk, regardless of the specs, we have better sense than to waste our time and money on them.
