I know that I come across as a prick on here lately, but I'm gonna start a revolution against ROM Manager and Kernel Manger...

Useless programs for people trying to shortcut a proven system...

One other thing I'm adding to that, but the vote is still out is any FormatAll programs. Both times i used Caulkins, I had to go reflash recovery via PC36IMG.

Newsflash! Wiping all in recovery works fine. I've flashed 1000 setups liek thnat with ZERO problems.

As for the former, not in ONE single thread for any ROMS doers it say "Use ROM Manager". Wanna know why?? Because using RECOVERY is a PROVEN system

I apologize to the Devs, especially Caulkin, because I think he's a genius, I know they put a lot of time and effort into their apps, but it's useless.

I see 10,000 posts about people having problems with flashing ROMS and Recovery and 9,900 of them were using ROM Manager.....

OK, now the people that are gonna tell me how wrong I am can chime in..... :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
I never used those apps myself, I prefer the piece of mind that's its being done right, I do like the format all zip I always used that.
[EVO 4G General] Systemfraud:
I actually agree with you. I myself have come across issues with ROM manager the few times I've used it. Going into recovery yourself is more secure in getting the job done.

[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
I have to agree
[EVO 4G General] RileyGrant:
Agree to a certain point, but I do highly appreciate the work of Koush and Team Win. If nothing else, they both serve as great means of downloading the latest kernel or Nightly.
[EVO 4G General] djharby:
ROM manager is just a gateway app, it doesn't flash the Rom for you it has a script to use in the recovery. It's kinda nice to ota a update.zip I can flash anytime.
[EVO 4G General] xqzek:
Its perfect for us newbies. And yes, we have the right to flash, and no, recovery is not self explaining!
[EVO 4G General] BonkyMoon:
Meh, as long as the option is there to flash the old fashioned way (via recovery) is available, I can't really care too much about who may or may not be using rom manager or kernel manager.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Which is why the threads for ROMS, normally have instructions on how to do it in recovery...

One thing that ROM Manager is great for is fixing permissions

[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
You're from Peoria ... so, uh, yeah, you're wrong. :rolleyes:

Kidding aside, or - maybe not, what does it even really matter?

The experienced, and not so much, use these services ... why do you care? Are the masses running to you for help? No. They're not. If people are going to do things wrong, they're going to do things wrong.

I've used Kernel Manager twice, only because it seemed convenient. I still looked through threads here. Even if I didn't, who cares?

People use these out of convenience, for the most part. Then, sure, there are some that use such because of them being simple and have no problems. Not to be rude, but what do you care if people do or do not use these? People are still going to **** their **** up, regardless.

Again, if you were the 'help master,' which you're not, I might understand. But you're not, so I fail to understand the reason for the thread. Apart from ridiculing people.

I will say this; I see as many people posting problems about issues flashing from recovery as well. Again, if people are going to **** something up, they are going to **** something up. And with most people I have seen, they are posting positive experiences from using ROM Manager. Now, I know - despite you actually using numbers - you have no numbers. So, naturally, I wouldn't make such a drastic assumption while trying to actually use numbers. Made up numbers at that.

And, so - in turn, it's NOT useless. People get much use out of such apps. 'Noobs' and perfectly able individuals alike.

Hell, when I wanted to flash the GodMode kernel I just hit KernelManager and had it take care of business in one foul swoop. Granted, I'm using an older version of Amon's recovery, so I would have had to go into my folder and move the kernel to the root of my SD card, then power down and wipe cache and dalvik and so forth. Instead, I hit 'teh magic button stick' and took a few hits and took a few drinks while my phone just sat there. Beautiful.

Granted, I don't rely solely on these apps / programs ... but even if I did, would you hate me? I can't imagine why, seeing as I don't look to you for help when things go wrong. Not that they ever have. But, honestly, whatever. This is a pretty petty thread.
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
agreed i read the threads but have at least tried the progs and they seemd to only kind of work well the kernal manager rom manager seemed useless lol but why does it make a difference if someone uses it? are they taking money away from you or something? jw and yes there are people who use it and come back and are like OMFG my **** is ****ed up but then all they gotta do is figure out how to fix it manually so yeah then they probally wont use it again lol
[EVO 4G General] DomSim:
gonna take this one step at a time,

if you dont like them, then simply do not use them. whats the problem?

used it many times with out issue. sounds like arrogant user error to me. btw its Calkulin, if your going to insult someone at least get the name right

flashing one zip is simply more convenient that multiple wipes. calkulins zip was created to help the users yet instead of being thankful you are an ingrate.

did you know that the rom dev has to setup and submit his rom to rom manager? why do you think they do this? rom manager is supported heavily by the rom devs. it is an easy way for users to find new roms they otherwise may miss.

you apoligize and insult in the same sentence, doesn't seem to sincere to me.

9890 of those 9900 are most likely user error. besides that, point me in the direction of one specific post like this. i guarantee i can point out a step or instruction or warning that was ignored

done and done. if you do not appreciate the work put in by these devs then do not use there apps. bashing them will only turn off devs whose sole purpose is to help the community.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
I don't trust those programs to do what they're supposed to do; I've read about to many horror stories from people who used them.
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
u stink

I like ROM Manager and Kernel Manager, they are convenient apps for newbies like me. :)
[EVO 4G General] D3luSi0n4L:
Please stop posting this stupid crap - "A Revolt against ROM Manager & Kernel Manager" Are you serious? I thought it would be a joke but your serious- lol. Yes it does cause problems but thats cause of simple mistakes. I have flashed through ROM & Kernel manager numerous times without a single fail or anything. And the irony of you saying you hate the 9,900 post about people not being able to flash - yet your adding the # of worthless posts with this stupid bullcrap. Sorry that I'm coming off rude but give me a break. These developers built something for inexperienced users & even advanced users to add convenience to flashing. If you really want a change please contact the developer with some constructive feedback, not this pointless thread. Cause trust me, this stupid revolt is going to get any application taken down.

Sincerely,

D3luSi0n4L

p.s - If you feel differently and would like to speak please feel free to pm me.

i have used then all and have no NO troubles with them ...

if you dont like them dont use them period .
[EVO 4G General] chaos67731:
I am not a pro but flashing things to my phone is nothing I am new to and I for one love BOTH apps!

I can look and read up on a ROM and have this cool program

Download

Backup

Wipe

Install

And let me know if there is a update.

I have flashed many roms and never had a problem. . .

Well, there was a time I did not pick the new gapps and well. . . . That was my bad. :)

Can I start a "REVOLT" from post like this?
[EVO 4G General] BeauGiss:
I am a newbie to all this stuff and I've looked at Rom Manager and didn't understand it but I was taught to flash through recovery. Although my first flash I didn't backup my OS (will never make that mistake again). Recovery is quite simple. Still getting the hang of all the lingo and what exactly everything does though.
[EVO 4G General] bigmoogle:
Why the rage?

I've never used the kernel app but rom manager and format-all.zip (I guess you never use clear-temp-files.zip either) have their uses.

When I first flashed a rom, I used ROM Manager (anyone remember Damage Control?). Then I used it to download ROMs but flashed via RA AMON. Now, I only use it to fix permissions. It's a good app for beginners.

I've used format-all.zip and clear-temp countless times and NEVER had any problems. I also never had problems with rom manager - I stopped using it because I wanted to clear dalvik cache and I wasn't sure if CWM did that.

Calm down. Choices are good even if some aren't ones you would choose.

[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
I just use rom and kernel manager to download. Then I flash from recovery. Best of both worlds.
[EVO 4G General] DomSim:
This is the exact reason I keep both kernel and rom manager on my phone. I have donate version of both and saves me from having to go find where to download from. I still flash manually but both apps make it much more convenient.
[EVO 4G General] ewynn9:
I dont use ROM manager, but I do use kernal manager. Just easy that way.
[EVO 4G General] vbetts:
If you have problems using Rom manager that's designed to work with the clockwork recovery mod not to actually flash the roms itself, but just lead the clockwork recovery to flash the rom when it's a simple click, click, wait, done situation then you're doing something wrong. I've never had any problems with Rom manager, or kernel manager. They do what they're suppose to do. Nobody is forcing you to use either of them, all the roms and kernels you can get from here, or other websites that hosts the roms and kernels.

You still go into recovery to flash either way.

I don't know why you're complaining either, both rom manager and kernel manager are free! Plus the devs are offering a free open service, so revolting against something free is like stealing a balloon on national free balloon day.
[EVO 4G General] rolfd:
I've cleaned this thread up a bit.

Some of the posts were all out flaming, others were just pure unpleasant nonsense. Next person to post something that is a blatant disregard for the rules, gets an infraction.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
OK, maybe I should have toned down the OP, or re-worded it, but still, whether it be from user error or the app itself, the number of posts I read where people have had problems and they were using ROM Manager is almost endless.

And sorry I spelled Culk's name wrong, but apologizing and calling him a genius is hardly an insult. Just the opposite, when he was Dev'ing the Moment, he was doing cutting edge stuff that lasted WAY after he had left to move on.
[EVO 4G General] roids87:
Kernel Manager is great. I personally have never actually flashed a kernal from it, but its very handy when it comes to downloading a kernel. Much nicer then navigating threw sites or dealing with mediafire or multiupload.

I have tried flashing damm near every Animated Boot Screen i have made flashable from XDA and none wanna work..

what am i suppose to do to get a diff boot animation screen on this device??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Adb:

adb remount

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media

adb reboot

Root explorer:

enable r/w mode

move the bootanimation.zip file to the /system/media folder
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dboy352:
I just got mine to work, only took a minute to do. If you go to root explorer do he following.

1. find the file in system/customize/resources named bootanimation.zip (it may have something else in front of it. Mine was spc_bootanimation.zip)

2. click at the top where is says r/w

3. find the boot animation you want to find and long press and choose mve

4. put it in the file system/customize/resources and paste it there

5. longress and change the permissions to match the origial one

6. change the name of the old one (i put a one at the end of bootanimation)

7. change the nam of the new anmation to what the original was

8. change back to r/o same way you changed to r/w

9. reboot nd enjoy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
By the way, /system/customize/resource is for sense, aosp is /system/media.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dboy352:
Sorry I didn't specify, I thought that cm roms were all sense. Thanks for the info roxxorz, good to know if I ever go back to an aosp.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Just for future reference, if you ever say 'I thought CM was sense' someone of ignorance spots it, they'll flame you horribly.

But yea, CM = AOSP = No sense. So you have to push the bootanimation.zip to the correct folder, :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dboy352:
Crap, I was confused I forgot I flashed from evo deck which was cm kernel and aosp, I'm now on misfits rc1 which is like a sense/gengersense mix, really nice, but not cm. I forgot I changed to misfit therefore te cm being sense lol. My own ignorence. Thanks for the info man. I'm still learning very slowly lol.

Hey JSmurfy, if you want a custom splash page and cant get it in adb I have the file you would need to flash it as well. I finally got mine changed using it since i can't us adb to push it to the phone. Just let me know.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well easy to get it confused because there are 'senseless' roms, which is htc sense removed, so it LOOKS like AOSP, with the vanilla [CM style lock screen]. You just have to make sure what the rom says in the features, ect.

If you can't/not good with adb, you can use root explorer [purchase or search through google] to move it to the correct folder.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dboy352:
Thats what I did, using root explorer and it works great. With adb I get it to find my phone but when I try to push something to it, it starts to go and then fails says no remote access or something like that. With some research everything I found saysit's because myhboot is 2.10 and with that hboot you can't flash but since my buil is the 40000 block build I cant downgrade my hboot so had to find a work around.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You can use adb with hboot 2.10, I do so all the time. Just when using adb, be sure to always enter in adb remount before doing anything. It would look like this:

adb remount

adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media

adb reboot

And you'd be done.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dboy352:
OMG where have you been. I have been searching for 3 freaking days and everyone says you cant with 2.10. You my just became my new bestfriend lmao.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I've been chillin' :eek: And whomever told you that needs to be slapped with a Swedish fish :p

wooo hoo im convinced i have to be either the dumbest person on this site orrrrr im being over cautious.. when i went intothe system/media folder it said audio only.. no other file was in there just that folder which was a sub folder for alarms, notofications, ringtones, ui

am i missing somthing

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JSmurfy:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crossrocker:
Go to system/customize/resource and delete bootanimation.zip and whatever the audio file is.. if there is one. Then try to flash your bootanimation

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Christ...

OK, look, for CyanogenMod-based ROMs, just put the bootanimation.zip in /data/local

No screwing around with /system, or anything. Plus, this way, you'll keep your boot animation even if you upgrade the ROM, like from 7.0.3.1 to 7.1.0.

So when it's all said and done, the ZIP file should be

/data/local/bootanimation.zip

Enjoy.

Hello all,

I am looking for a Bluetooth headset as well as some Bluetooth headphones. I was wondering if there are any that would be able to combine both of the intended tasks into one pair of devices.

I am looking for something that has two unconnected earpieces where one can be used by itself for calls and when you want to listen to music, you can just put in the second one. I have not been able to find anything like this. Does it even exist? Might there be some kind of inability to send the two different sound signals to two different receivers?

I appreciate any help.

This may not be the best looking boot animation, as it's just a combination from the teaser trailer on YouTube.

It's looped and will just replay. This is my first boot animation....first of anything in this sorts. Going to do a complete overhaul this week of it, so please refrain from flaming this noob :). In Xbox terms...I'm a scrub

Here is the video I made of it as a preview:

[YOUTUBE]oxHAQb2LZFw[/YOUTUBE]

Download Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?oudaa6nmcjbaloy (15MB) I know...it's HUGE. :(

Instructions:

-Backup current bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak

-Download and copy the MW3 boot animation and paste it to system/media and change permissions

-Reboot

Another GREAT boot animation, but for the wildfire can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1006336 It's sick.

hey can you tell me what the settings are you used to make the .zip i know it has to be zero compression but what settings are the images and the .txt file

as i have tried a few ones i made myself but they just dont show up
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] sheanzyy:
I used WinZip. I highlighted all my files(pictures tthat are in the two different folders you're using to store photos ,and desc.txt file- right click and choose: add to archive and make sure the setting is set to 'store'.

I used 256 x 256 (PNG FILES) The same dimensions as the animation in Cyanogen Mod. My current project uses a different resolution than my current.

When you play the YouTube video, you will see an annotation that leads you to my newest boot animation, that is the video sshowing the boot animation running at different res.

Download my ananimation and extract the files to you desktop. Take the desc file and the names of the folders, and put them on your desktop. The desc.txt file will have your settings and you can just change them.accordingly to your devices dimensions or FPS you want your animation to run at.

Did this help?
