I also have a suspicion that something with this ROM is giving people problems once they switch back to AOSP. Check my thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1300791 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1302097

When they try to run certain AOSP ROMS, cache and data will not mount correctly. Every user I asked was running Inc2 HD either just before, or close to it. The issue occurs with multiple ROMS (CM7, Liquid, OMFGB, etc.). No one has came up with a surefire fix.

I'm not saying Inc2 HD is breaking phones, but it may have something to do with it. It's just a guess I'm no dev, but maybe it has do do with ext 4 partition.

I would love for someone with more knowledge than me to help find the cause and maybe a fix.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
I haven't had any problems switching.

Inc 2 HD has never been my daily driver, but I did run it long enough to mess around with it, install some of my go-to apps, and make a nandroid backup.

I've had no problems running AOSP ROMs afterwards. I obviously do a full wipe before installing any new ROM, but as I understand it some people can't run AOSP even with a fresh wipe and starting from scratch.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JAS_21:
Not everyone does, but I have seen posts all over here and Rootzwiki. It may have nothing to do with this ROM, but it's the only thing I've found that ALL the people had in common.

Some users had the issue after multiple wipes and formatting everything. The issue did not happen on every AOSP ROM they tried, and some people say it worked itself out after a few different flashes.

People are so funny, it's a freaking phone, really? He did good work, people complained like always, he put it out there for free for whoever wanted it, no one has manners anymore, instead of saying thanks for putting this out for us to enjoy, and if you want to make it even better I suggest... People were demanding and complaining, that's not polite to anyone, and then people further complain and bash cause he left cause of it, just further lack of manners and knowing how to act, oh well. If you don't like it, and don't use it, give honest low points of the rom to others asking about it, and don't bash, mine as well go back to kindergarten and say your a doody head. I like all this stuff and I appreciate all the work everyone puts into it for free and even if I think it's the biggest piece of cap ever I'm not gonna insult someone who put it out there for me hoping I would enjoy it by telling them its a piece of crap.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
+1 on the doody head. Thats how I felt like it went down. I love his work, and I'm truthful about all ROMs when someone asks about the bugs and such. I have not, nor will not bash any dev about their work or anything. I think its absolutely ridiculous for people to bash the devs who pour their heart and soul into their work just to make people happy with the way their phones are working. They don't have to, but they want to. Just like we don't have to flash, we want to.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JAS_21:
Did you look through his threads here? He posted a ROM, the users were asking about the bugs (which were plentiful). He basically stated that all the posts were useless closed the thread, and told everyone to "eff off". Then he took HIS toys and went home.

Oh and if we wanted support, we should pay him.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] shoman24v:
It's hard to come back from 'if you want support, pay me'.

With that being said, I don't have an issue with this ROM. I've tried it briefly just to see what it was, but it has some issues that I can't get past.

My biggest issue is devs having so many projects that build up hope for users then get lost because they'd rather work on something that's the 'newest'.

I'll gladly donate when I feel something is up to my standards in terms of performance, but I don't want to donate to a project that gets left behind.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
First of all, he never said it quite like that. It was more, stop telling my what I should do, because this is my project, and unless there's money involved I'm gonna do it my way.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Actually I've recommend his Rom to sense lovers. He was the one I wanted to be my daily driver. I like his work. But some others in that thread. And him literally saying f!@k xda and all you dinc2 guys made me mad..I never based him. That just upset me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JAS_21:
No matter how you phrase it, he disrespected HIS users. The ones who were running HIS ROM. Everyone posting the bugs were obviously running the ROM. No one called him names or disrespected him. He decided to close his thread because some newer users were posting bugs without reading the whole thread. If you've been around here any length of time, you should know that no matter how detailed your post and instructions are, noobs will always ask dumb questions.

In the end some of us saw him for what he really is. Will I run his Roms? No. Will I tell other people not to? No. But no one here said anything that was inappropriate or disrespected him, He left on his own accord. If anyone was childish, I think we know who it was.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] chattguy:
/signed.

I use it as my daily driver, along with 4 other ROMs on my phone. Yay, Boot Manager!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tincbtrar:
This. I ran a few of his ROMs on the INC1. Honestly? They were ok...i couldnt use any as a daily driver because of issues that came up - which btw werent issues like 'my 3g icon is too large' - but more like the inability to access epst functions. And my calls would drop. A lot.

He put a lot of work into development - which I LOVE. They all had originality and he even made patches for a more stock like experience.

I really think bug listing and tracking was handled well for the most part...but on the INC1 forums (could have been different elsewhere) there was some rivalry between two teams of development - and i am sure some trolling was involved (not by the dev teams but by fanboys of each team)

It comes down to this. I like XDA. Ive been here for a while. Its a pain for me to go to six different forums at a time to look for development, even if its free. I like community. This is our community. We should all share here on XDA.

I like to support via cash and I do. I also thank as well. But as a 30 year old man when I hear someone say 'eff off' on a forum its a turn off to me. I need my phone for business use. Im not a 20 something in college who can get by if things dont work - so i steer clear of those works.

If someone were to ask me if they should use his ROMs I would say yes because development will continue to serve this community - even if they are not my cup of tea.

Hope this doesnt offend anyone because its not meant to.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jeremytn86:
I read every page of his thread, like I said people were bein rude, and I would said f off too, it was my daily driver, though I'm using liquid now, but when he gets more of a finalized build of hd I'm gonna try that too. I and I couldn't agree more with his statement of pay me then ill make and do exactly as you wish, cause if I'm down this as a hobby (which I don't know how btw) and just share it with others I wouldn't want them telling me what to do or how to do it, like I said, suggestions are one thing, but as you stated, I indeed read all posts, from the first one, and that wasn't the case, im not defending him cause I don't know him personally just devs in general as this is far to often the case, amazing how some people are actually of a mindset that you could give them $150 and they actually complain cause you didn't give them that whole $199 for that new toy they had their eye on. I know I'm ranting and I'm not trying to be rude myself just saying...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Like I said I support him as a dev...but xda and gpl rules basically state you can't advertise...or sell...this open source OS.

I was never rude to him...in fact one of his mods are why I left cause he was trolling me when I asked a question. Then I flamed back..then that person was banned shortly.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jeremytn86:
What open source os ? What was he advertising, or selling? You could download his roms for free...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FlagAZ:
what is his website called? I would love to try out one of his roms.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Android...open source...he was using this site to advertise his site...which used ads to make money..which is cool. I dont care. But xda isn't a bilboard for your site.

Dude, I think you're a little confused. Not all of us are complete Apple fans about his stuff. I'm one of them. I love his work, but why should I stop posting here when I also can appreciate the work here too. Not all of newts users are exclusive to Newt. Just as well, not all of us try to convince people to use them. If you ask my opinion of what ROMs are good, you can expect to hear that I like his work, but I'm not gonna bash everyone else cuz "I like newts stuff only and if its not from him then its no good."

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Linch89:

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 06stang:
Yeah lots of trouble with the rom with several clean wipes. Back to CM7 and Virtuous
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
Well I read both, the first one refers to the constant trolling and complaining on this site, this is a big issue in numorous sections. I do not blame him for leaving or saying what he did. If people are just gonna sit and badmouth him (WHICH THEY DID) then a person can only take so much before they say f**k off, and then leave.

The second one refers to him explaining that he will do whatever people demand if they are willing to pay, anyone that took it as him trying to get people to give him money in order to help obviously took it the wrong way completely, I could read that once and see what was meant. In no way does that post signify what is being accused, there is nothing in it that says he won't help people for free or accept ideas. If people are gonna tell him how to make HIS rom then I agree they should chip in, it's like if I was making a painting and I was half done and 20 different people came up and started getting pushy saying, no no no, add this, more color to that part ect, I would say, "Do you intend to buy this painting?"

Now regardless of the witless retorts I am prepared to recieve, I know for a fact what I said is correct, how? Because I am on the mikmik forums daily and he has already sidetracked himself to get CRT working and added back in certain other animations to his rom because I requested them a few times. Now that really does not sound like a person demanding money and telling people to f**k off.

Take it as you will guys, but the links above as well as quite alot of the way people have spoken about newt is the equivilency to a smear campain when people are running for office. Words taken out of context, unecessary immature rage over a developer whom did not personally or physically harm you ect. If you like him, cool, if you don't, fine, either way, do not exaggerate the way he left when he has not returned or bothered anyone since. Especially since this thread is a thread questioning why people are not using his rom, NOT a thread dedicated to bashing a developer that a few of you have an unjustified personal vendetta against.

Finally, cut the "he's using this site to advertise himself" crap, Cyanogenmod does the same thing, they post their nightlies here, they even have a thread, that thread specifies that it will not recieve advice or help, why? Because they do the same thing as Newt, they answer questions over at the Cyanogenmod forums, I used CM as an example, tons of other developers do the same thing, this is just another example of people just looking for excuses to bash someone. I am not a mikmik fanboy whom only likes newts roms, mods ect either. I enjoy CM, I can't wait for them to get a ICS rom going, I'll try it right away, I have other roms that I check out as well. I use this sight regularly for mods, themes, bootanimations and more. But it gets old when anyone that has anything positive to say about newt is automatically dubbed a "fanboy" who doesn't know anything.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HarleyChick:
I completely agree. I like Newt, and his ROM's but that in no way means that they are the only ROM's I run on my Inc2. I use others as well - some Sense, some AOSP.

I just don't understand why some people feel the need to be on one side or the other when it comes to Android development. Its all personal preference, and since these guys/gals are doing this FOR FREE, I don't think anyone has a right to complain about anything the devs do or don't do. As long as they aren't doing anything malicious, then what right does anyone have to bash them?

If you don't like the ROM, or the dev, leave. There are other ROMs out there; I know because I have 6 backed up on my phone right now. Or better yet, learn how to dev yourself and see how it feels to have people making demands on you for your time and talent. Yeah, I like that.....
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gabezermeno:
I think people are starting to missunderstand why I asked why no one uses his rom. I just wasn't aware him and xda didn't get along.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] trunzoc:
Agree 100%. I've seen the rude and arrogant DEMANDS that some people make of the devs here. I can't blame him for leaving.

As far as the 2nd post. Damned straight you should pay him if you are going to ***** that he doesn't do what you want him to do for free. He doesn't get paid for this, which means he can do what he wants to do in his ROMs at his pace. It's not a job, it's a hobby, and one that I am damned grateful he has.

If you DEMAND something from him, then pay him for it. If not, then take what he offers and be happy that someone smarter than you puts the time in to do it.

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

what bberryhill0 meant is not a new ROM, but a new update. He's planning on releasing v4.0.4 tomorrow, which is supposed to consolidate 4.0.2, 4.0.3 and several patches into a single flash instead of several.

So, basically ever since I've had my phone rooted and had ROM Manager on it, it has had trouble flashing Clockwork Recovery for me. I'll select for it to flash, it will appear to do so, but when I try to boot into recovery, either manually or from ROM Manager, it will just go to the default bootloader. When I attempt to choose Recovery from there, nothing will happen, and I'll have to reboot my phone and attempt to flash CWM again, and again, until it finally boots into it.

This always used to work after about 3 tries though, but now suddenly, it's just not even going anymore.

Is there anything I can do to make this process easier (or actually work)?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
Set cwm to erase before flashing.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYYFan325:
Or just use the fastboot command and flash recovery that way.

Just tried doing this, didn't work.

What command would that be? /noob
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYYFan325:
The command is called fastboot. You run it from a command prompt. You need to download the recovery image, then from the command prompt type:

fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryimage.img
