[Atrix 4G Android Development] upndwn4par:
Before I made this file I analyzed other zip flashable recoveries, and they wiped cache as well. I don't fully understand why myself. Maybe for the very purpose of clearing the recovery log? Maybe because we are taught to always clear the cache before flashing anything and it's just a habit?

I could access recovery. I just couldn't get past the boot logo. I did say "boot loop" instead of "boot logo" in the original post (I corrected that - my bad). Was this the source of your confusion?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ravilov:
Ah, I see.

I think he was confused about why would you want to flash recovery if you already have a working recovery? And if you don't have a working recovery, a flashable recovery won't help. IE, he thought this is for emergency purposes, but in case your recovery is malfunctioning.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] upndwn4par:
Having a flashable recovery if your recovery works allows for easy switching. I'm not (yet) a touch recovery fan, but some roms require them.

I was trying to install a touch recovery when the install failed (bad download I think - I downloaded another copy and it installed fine). My phone would not boot past the logo, but I could boot to recovery. I pulled the battery and tried to reboot a few times, re-flashed the recovery, fixed permissions, etc. to no avail. I had no PC access, so I couldn't fastboot a recovery. So, I had no phone for a few hours. During that time I was wishing I had a recovery flashable recovery (if I hadn't recently deleted a copy of romracer's recovery from my phone I would have been good to go). I made one, pulled my sd card and loaded the file, replaced the sd card, booted to recovery, then flashed the recovery I made. The abridged version is the back story in the OP. Anyway, that brings us to the whole point of this thread. :)

Edit:

I think I set a record for most times using the word "recovery" in a single post.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xdraconis:
Although I do appreciate your contributions... I refuse to do any flashing whatsoever unless I have PC access or it's already a dire emergency.

Nandroid -> Titanium Backup -> MyBackup -> Image SD Card (With all three backups) to desktop / laptop -> blast everything on phone to kingdom come -> begin whatever flashing that I probably shouldn't be doing...

Probably overkill, yes; but your remote flashing with no PC access? You sir, are a brave soul.

Normally I am almost as cautious as you. But I was at a really boring offsite meeting. But, I learned my lesson.

Still running stock AT&T os as I dont see the need to run a custom rom. Lte battery life has increased nearly 5 fold in standby. 10% every 5 hours as opposed to 1 hour with a full signal.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
I'm stock on 2.20 (just dd'd the system.img from the 2.20 ruu haha).. Froze a couple bloat apps I don't like. Outside of that, I don't see advantage to the custom ROM's we have. When AOKP or CM10 get up to snuff, I'll definitely switch. But short of that, I don't really get it. 2.20 is amazing, really.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
I'm stock rooted too. But there are lots of people who don't even root
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] slippers67:
I'm with you beaups. After running only custom roms since the one x came out, I've been on stock 2.20 for the last week and prefer it.

I don't see any tangible performance improvements in day-to-day use with any of the custom roms, and I can handle my own bloat removal. Nor do I use quicksettings or care about minor theming.

Battery life and signal strength/speed on stock 2.20 has been far better than any other custom rom I've used so far, too, and the dreaded low volume bug seems to have been resolved.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SkookDroid:
True, but what info on here can you actually use without being rooted? You can learn about everything but cant actually use it to your advantage but hey, whatever floats the OP's boat :good:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Alcoholic:
Lots. When the official OTA updates are coming. Stock tricks/hacks to make your battery last longer. Find out about LTE speeds in other areas. Price reduction. Phone accessories. I can go on and on.

I'm running cleanrom but I was reading this forum even before i got my one x. It's not all about hacking. It's about a community for your phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SkookDroid:
You can learn about all that on any android site out there, I was just saying xda IMHO is more for modding your phone. I never said it was ALL about hacking, just giving my opinion that most of the info on here is geared towards modding, rooting, theming, etc. Sure theres discussions in the general thread about that stuff as well as in the themes and apps thread but the ratio of modding info to "general" info is about 5:2

Not going to argue there. I agree, it's mostly about rooting and hacking your phone. My point was towards your statement " but what info on here can you actually use without being rooted? "

I listed things that i've personally done on this forum without having my phone rooted and i dont see why that's not possible.

Anyway, this is a useless argument to have. If someone wants to read/post on this forum without messing with their phone, that's their right and we shouldn't try to push them out.

i get around 4 hours on cleanrom..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DankestMango:
Maybe your experience isn't the same, especially since I haven't been running stock for a good couple of updates, but from a strictly non-technical perspective, when I was running Sense and tried using their launcher, I would often leave an app and come back to the entire homescreen reloading.

That and I like pretty things (hence why I bought the One X for the hardware) but all those glossy icons and horrible (IMO) (over)scrolling transitions really irked me. Stock android is always the way to go in my opinion, and I'm glad we have an active dev section. That said, it's like anything, sometimes the bother of flashing a custom rom (or leaving the iPhone, like the rest of my family...) just isn't worth it to you. Whatever floats your guys boats.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Alcoholic:
I get around 3 hours on cleanrom 4.5 but it's pretty heavy usage along with Chrome which uses a lot more battery than stock browser.

Idle battery life is great on cleanrom. I can go over a day with 1-2 hours of screen time.

With the 4.0.4 ive noticed if i close apps with the multi-task menu i get better battery life. Ive also used the built in task manager to close all apps before i go to sleep.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mclaughlinar:
I love 2.20

I'm with you, I've tried basically every custom rom on this website, 2.20 is a game changer. the only thing that might get me is a fully working bug free jellybean.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
Cleanrom 4.5 is what's up. For me, at least. 5hrs screen time with 20%ish left after 16 hours is insane.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] blessedswine:
i was using cleanrom, but for some reason i was having two issues, one was my sound and ringtones were very low even after clearing cache, and the rom wont stay connected to my wifi so i would try to use the phone and either wait for wifi or use cell data, im now back on stock with the bloat frozen/removed. i have to say the stock rom is as good if not better in almost all situations on this phone, you just need to freeze bloat but if you want better battery life try using Antutu Battery Saver im currently using the pro version and im getting easily 30 hours with moderate use and once got over 2 days with minor usage.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Ethere:
I was on Cleanrom 4.5 as well, and had no issues with it at all. I wanted to try 2.20, and haven't looked back. Like someone else said, once we get a good working CM10 release, there's no need for me to root/rom at this point. But, I have had others phones and have learned a lot from the community here.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nespid:
agreed. great battery. super smooth too. cant wait for JB update.

ps. I'd like to weigh in and say that, im all about hacking and modding too, but i also want a stable experience. everything custom out there for 1x does not seem like it's daily driver ready. seems like pleasure to risk ratio isnt worth it, at this point. i was on stock rooted 1.73 and decided to update to 2.20 and lose root to be ready for JB OTA. And as far as I can tell, any JB rom for 1x is pre-pre-alpha dev editions.

but i still hang around on the 1x forum everyday to see when 2.20 root is found and try to help other users.

are we root yet?

I'm still on the fence about rooting I got a warranty hox as a replacement for a galaxy s 2.that phone was a beast and supereasy to root and hack. This thing on the other had is a whole nother animal. I really don't want to mess with my boot loaders. The only real reason I want to root it is to get rid of all the bloat.. I mightjust upgrade to the 4.04.ota and be done with it. Reviews seem to be good. Is there another way to get rid of bloat? Plus a lot of my paid apps are for rooted phones lol :p:D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lyall29:
You can dissable almost all of the bloatware in the manage apps section. I would always do it when running a stock phone. I don't know if its the same as deleting the bloatware or not but it works well.
[HTC EVO 3D] stevefwt:
I am trying to use a task automator (e.g. impel, automateit) to run the built in (on custom rom (coolexe ICS on EVO 3D)) kill-all shortcut when the charging power is disconnected.

Both apps will not display the inbuilt kill-all shortcut so it cannot be selected or used.

I would prefer not to have to install another task killer app.

Does anyone have an apk for the inbuilt kill-all process or indeed the code so I can create my own lite app.

Cheers
[HTC EVO 3D] IxBUSTERxI:
Why would you want that? Task killing on Android makes perfectly nonsense.

Your battery won't last longer or anything else.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xperia Player:
Hey I'm just trying to figure out the difference between using Titanium Back up and just making a Nandroid back up... What's the difference?

-Thanks
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creative_md:
titanium backup is app to backup your apps (system+ user) and your data but not ROM i.e you cannot make backup of rom with that

whereas nandroid backup does all what titanium do with backup of rom too.

so you can restore titanium backup in any rom(OF YOUR PHONE) and get your data back but if you restore nandroid it will restore whole system including ROM
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xperia Player:
I'm currently running 2.3.3 stock rom, would it be better to use titanium or make a nandroid back up via CWM?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
I do both. A CWM backup is a near-full restore in case something screws your phone over. Titanium Backup is there to help with switching between roms, or backing up apps for safe keeping
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creative_md:
Nandroid backup is must as jacklebott said if you mess up with roms and got something wrong no need to flash ftf files and start over again just restore nandroid through cwm and your phone will be like it was before

in case of titanium backup its your choice as if you changed your rom and want apps of your previous rom just restore it

i recommend both as you can save them in your pc too( if your prob. is with sd card space) and when needed copy them to sd card with card reader:cowboy:

Today I tried to do my first root/custom rom and using the Guide put together by DroidStyle (who has also been very helpful in making me understand what I'm dealing with). The rooting wasnt a problem as when I finished that I was able to restart and the phone worked fine.

I then put Beans Custom stock on my External SD (4 gigs) and used a APK installer on my phone to install EZ Recovery. I selected the first selection right across from CWM and clicked flashed which said it was successful, and then did reboot recovery.

I then went to do a Nandroid Backup which seemed to go well until it threw an error saying it was skipping apps and something about "SD/Android_Secure". I did search the forums and it seems these shouldn't be a problem so I continued. I then went to the Wipe Data and that said it completed successfully. Finally I chose the install .zip from sd and I selected the BeanCustomStock which was sitting in the root directory of my external SD card.

After that said it was successful, I then chose reboot system from the menu but then when it restarts I seem to have a problem. It just comes back to the recovery screen and says theres an error with the SD card:

Error processing ROM Manager script. Please verify that you are performing the backup, restore, or ROM installation from ROM Manager v4.4.0.0 or higher.

I am hoping I am just overlooking something or its a simple fix. I would really appreciate any help anyone can give me as Im pretty clueless as what to do next.

Thanks!!
