Hey lkrasner,

Thank you for the link and the reminder about you OP. I actually did remember reading your post some time back, and appreciated it as well. However, your project seems to be more focused on providing info about the ROMs rather than comparative and subjective evaluations and ratings.

I didn't read through ALL the pages of it yet (I'm at a swim meet grilling right now) but I also want the nutshell gold to be "right in front of your eyes" by updating the OP as info comes, so that readers don't have to sift useless dialog to finally locate the full info/scoop on what they are trying to find.

I'll defer to your advise though (or perhaps anyone else who wishes to weigh in here on this), and let you decide if I should merely delete or abandon this new thread so that you can update your OP (perhaps with the kind of PROS & CONS and ratings I have suggested?) or if you think my effort in providing rating and anecdotes about how it works for those who have used these ROMs, is worth attempting to continue as I had planned?

Best regards,

Paul
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
You should definitely continue. I would be happy to write up some more for scv6 which I am on now and lithium (I used 1.2 and 1.2.1 since they came out, but not 1.3 yet) I admit I did not read your whole post really either, but I saw the topic was similar, so I put up the link. Feel free to use anything I have there, but it is mostly outdated, so I'm not sure it is much use.

I did try to keep somewhat away from strictly rating the roms because so much is personal preference. I love SCV6, but I am not a huge fan of romulus. that is not because it is bad, I actually think it is fantastic, but I just am not as much of a fan of the more stock look.

You are a much better writer than me, and can probably do this better, so If I were you I would start by reviewing the roms you have used a lot (If any), then try some others for a while and ask for other peoples reviews, which you can tweak. Just don't wait to long, then give up like I did. :p

If I believe anything here, it is that work is public, if you post it, you should expect that it will get reused in any way, whether you say it can be or not, therefore I try to allow it as much as possible. I would keep this same thread going and start putting some stuff up.

Good luck!!

-lkrasner

EDIT: 2 things I thought of,

1. please hit edit on the OP and copy that text into a .txt file so that we can use the format (then attach it or upload with a link.)

2. maybe create a poll with simply "what is the best rom" just because that could be interesting.

Hello, i am sorry if this has been asked before, but i went to a concert recently and took some photos that saved to the phone memory not the sd, i just upgraded to ics with the leaked software from 6/24/12 from att, and i lost the photos, is there any way i can get them from the nandroid backup? thank you in advance! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nrm5110:
Nope you f'd up good job
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mikerosa650:
ugh thought so, well otherwise the leaked rom works amazing havent noticed anything bad about it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] noxnoctus:
For Future Reference. Dropbox has a killer system, when you take a photo, it can be immediately backed up to Dropbox. They even give you free space to do it and easy methods to earn more free space. You can select it so it only uploads photos via wi-fi, or you can do wi-fi and cellular data. As a frequent ROM flasher, definitely helps as I'd probably forget to back em up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mtmjr90:
Hey everyone,

Does anyone know if there's a way to have the lockscreen pop up even when security is disabled? I use Unlock with WiFi at home, an app which disables my PIN when I'm on my home WiFi and the way it achieves this is by temporarily disabling security. An unfortunate consequence of this is that the screen with the ring/quick launch icons as well as AOKP's weather/calendar info also disappears. Any ideas to get just this screen without security? Thanks!

-mtmjr90
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
So I'm not understanding. I use that app and when I'm out of the house I have a PIN, when I'm at home, I have the ring lock with unlock and camera options.

Could you elaborate? What lock screen are you seeing when you're on home WiFi?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mtmjr90:
That's the weird thing...none at all. It just goes straight to my home screens. When I go to Security settings while at home (with Unlock with WiFi on), because PIN lock has been temporarily disabled, I cannot specify any lock screen settings.

By any chance would this be a ROM issue? Are you running AOKP?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Hmm, I'm thinking so... I'm on stock 4.0.4.

I'm at home with WiFi right now and when I go to Settings > Security I'm able to select what type of unlock I want. I can select "none" and it does what you describe, and I can go back to "slide" and it goes back to normal. Disable WiFi and it goes right back to a PIN. Enable WiFi it goes back to "slide".

Seems like a mix of the ROM and maybe the app not working properly?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
Do you have Exchange mail setup which are you device administrator?

Thought maybe that the unlock with WIFI app interfers with the minimum requirement of the device administrator.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mtmjr90:
No Exchange or any IT restrictions at all and I'm admin. I'll post this in the AOKP thread and see if I get any luck there. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ben74:
hi. i'm the developer of Unlock With WiFi. you can make the slide to unlock screen appear while the phone is unlocked. while your phone is connected to wifi and unlocked, go to your security settings and choose "slide" for the lock screen type. if you can't change the setting, then it may be a rom issue. i use CM9, and there's no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mtmjr90:
Thanks. I hadn't realized I needed to enable the slide lockscreen since it was listed under "security" (I don't see it as being secure in any way). I figured everything under security meant some form of passcode=/ Up and running now, thanks for the awesome app btw!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fabu09:
Pardon if this is the wrong area.

OK so ever since N.O.V.A. 3 came out for iPad I have been addicted to it and be live it or not till now I never did play the story mode only played the multi player. Anyways have been dreading to get it on my Galaxy note and finally got it a few days ago and when I try to play multi player, the game just lags. It is slow and takes for ever to just turn or move and run and fly shoot when playing in my note and before I know it someone has already shot me. I don't think its my phone as when I tried the normal story mode it runs just fine.

Than I realised it also works fine when playing online but the lags happen when playing in a crowded area, as in if there are 4 or more players in the round when we start shooting each other the game lags for me. I never had this issue on my iPad at all so I don't know what's up. My wifi on my phone never is full, even as I type now its 2 bars and not full so I did Google this issue and how to increase wifi strength but didn't get any answers. So my issue if anyone can help is how do I improve the wifi strength though I don't know if the with is the issue why the game lags when there are more than 4 players in the game together. So any help?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fabu09:
Any body??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] santoz:
Are you using Chainfire mod?

You may need to O/C the phone
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
Works fine here. You'll have to flash a new modem if you want to fix wifi speeds, but it won't guarantee faster speeds.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fabu09:
What do you mean by flash new modem
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fabu09:
Nope I'm not using any mods by chainfire

I followed the instructions by sfhub (BIG THANKS) to install SPH-D710.FE16_CL579416 (FE16 Modem/Kernel/ROM - Full Restore - Rooted) on my Epic 4G Touch and it works great. The problem I'm having is with CWM-Rouge blocking some apps from being installed (at least I think CWM is the cause).Without CMW all apps install but with CWM some give me an error msg saying that the app could not be installed to sd card. Is there something I need to tweak or am I using the wrong version of CWM?

I was wandering if its necessary to flash an hboot or recovery after I s-off ? I'm on ics stock rooted n obviously s-on n stock kernel n I already have 4ext recovery
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
Are you S-On or S-Off? You said you have both.... :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] invisiblefire101:
I'm s-on
[HTC Amaze 4G] ImperialX12:
Yeah flash a recovery afterwards and as far as hboot goes..the jb hboot works.

[HTC Amaze 4G] invisiblefire101:
I'm trying to s-off because I feel more secured to flash kernels without thinking (if) it gonna work so my question is that after I s-off do I have to flash an hboot or recovery since I already have a recovery
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
Trust me, after getting S-Off, flashing a recovery/hboot is the least of your worries. Generally, it will flash j-bear hboot so you're good. As for recovery, you do need to flash one.

Correct me if i'm wrong though.
[HTC Amaze 4G] invisiblefire101:
I figured cuz I'm trying to do his steps n I was just wandering if it kinda starting fresh again u know after s-off get recovery ,root it , n go from there n the program doesn't come with an hboot so imma use a ph185.img n then flash 4ext
[HTC Amaze 4G] invisiblefire101:
I know I need to flash a recovery I was just wandering to flash a recovery since I already have one
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
You shouldn't have to flash one, but once the process is complete, try rebooting into recovery to see if your custom recovery is still there, it usually is.
[HTC Amaze 4G] invisiblefire101:
Thanks n Im finally s-off lol on the 2 try lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Lucky you, my second phone took me about 30 tries and five battery pull/restarts.
[HTC Amaze 4G] invisiblefire101:
I used a insulated paper clip lol

Nice trick, I'll make a note of that, lol.

I have an Xperia S with ICS installed

I was wondering if flashing the 4.0.3 kernel from the Lt18 (pretty sure that firmware has rooting abilities)

onto the Xperia S

then Root

then Flash the Xperia S kernel back could possibly work?

I was going to give it a try earlier today but thought it would be best to ask if they're is any risk of perma-bricking the phone and unable to reflash before I did

Hi there!

I was on 2.3.6 [LATAM] and installed ICS [LATAM].

Everythin was fine, so june 22 I installed MIUI, but I don't know if I did something wrong.. I've got lots os errors with many apps, always crashed.

Then I decide to go back to ICS.. In MIUI, found a "Reset" that boot my phone on "Restore" mode.. and don't know why, I selected the "blur_version.651.167.3370.xt910.brasil.en.br.zip" to install ICS again, failure, selected again MIUI.zip, failure.

I tried RSD to go back to 2.3.6, failure on 6/22 "Failed flashing process 6/22 flash cdt.bin" (I think cause I can't go back to GB..)

When I found [GSM] Droid Razr Utility, tried again to go back to GB, lots of errors: infopreflash validation failure

And now.. boot failure! (whataahellIdid?)

AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Boot Failure)

while using search function you should find threads about that with solution... there seems to be some trick to flash just system files of 2.3.6 for updating afterwards with ics ota

you should find threads like this one ...

Hi Sh4itan!

Thank you for response..

I tried this trick, deleting the lines im .xml, 0 errors on RSD, but, boot failure again..

Thank You!

did you reflash YOUR pre-ICS-files as mentioned in this thread?

and updated to YOUR ICS again?

if you're not on T-Mobile leak you may be not able to flash to that one...

Thank You! :good:

Hi!

1. Do a wipe cache to see if you get it to work.

2. If it fails to boot, then wipe factory.

3. If this do not fix the problem, get the new ota file and put on sdcard, run the latam update fix.

4. done

Hello Pedro!

I did everything you said.

On step 3, I'm trying to install the first version, from your Tutorial, and got error on /tmp/sideload/package.zip..

After flash 2.3.6 from RSD, appears the Moto's logo, nothing happens and screen goes black.

I'm downloading now the new OTA update from your Tutorial!

Thank you!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] loldevil:
Ok...

What i did:

- RSD to 2.3.6 [LATAM 651.167.3370.XT910.Brasil.en.BR], with "that" lines like on this thread ;

- Did this with the System_Signed from 651.167.3370.XT910.Brasil.en.BR

- In recovery mode, tried to update with that OTA , error /tmp/sideload/package.zip (wipe factory/cache, no success);

- Just run without errors the "Latam ICS Update Fix" again from here

- Razr doens't boot, had a loop on Motorola's logo.

Error info:

"assert failed: apply_patch_check("MTD:boot:8388608:f7b4e151e2285731bd6c4e42016ef2e688a91855:8388608:3ceffac7f9db153e44b348f342fab3c548b57243")
