Con seems to be the only "Recognized Developer" that's posted in the topic. I don't know what the opinion of the other devs are, as I don't know if they've seen this topic or not.

As for the ROMs from unknown/new devs... that's not up to me to try. If there is a ROM that somebody wants to upload and they made it... then they can upload it. It's up to the users downloading the torrent for the ROM to be aware of what they're downloading. Just like downloading from an HTTP mirror, the place that hosts the file isn't responsible for what people flash: it's up to the person flashing.
[HTC Rezound] Grnlantern79:
I support torrent downloading been doing it for over 10 years and never had a bad file downloaded unless it was setup to fail by uploader, example a virus or advertising adware. Once you wise up you know which files are fake. I think this site could be good especially if you can upload the OTAs as they come out as well. Those kinda things almost never get uploaded to a quality site. MD5 are a must for anything involving a radio and or being s-off so cover your ass and check the #s. But I approve a torrent system very very reliable.
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
Thanks, glad to see there's at least a few people on here that know what's going on with torrent and P2P communication.

I'd like to get some OTA's, RUU's, etc. uploaded (if not only this phone, maybe a few others if they would like to contribute / help out?) onto the site this weekend if I don't have a lot of homework to start on. Let me know if you'd like to help out.
[HTC Rezound] Grnlantern79:
I have full RUU for the last 3 releases .10, .12 and global leak. If you want me to upload them let me know.
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
Sure. Create an account and let me know the username and I can allow you to upload.
[HTC Rezound] Grnlantern79:
I tried to register and gave me so many issues just gave up, sorry.
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
What kind of issues were you having?
[HTC Rezound] chrisjz:
What he said. I've always wondered why devs never used torrentS. This would be a great start.
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
From what it sounds like, it's lack of knowledge of the power that torrents actually have.
[HTC Rezound] squidder:
Not even close bro.
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
From some of the replies from the community it seems that way, at least from the end-user side. There's been a lot of people asking if torrents are reliable (which they are, and I've been backed up by several people on this as well).
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Then what is it?
[HTC Rezound] rabidpencil:
Exactly, I've seen a couple of devs say something anti-this, and that's fine. But as a layman, I'd love to know why. I just don't see the downside personally. No disrespect intended.
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
The only real downsides I've seen so far are:

1) Cutting an upload if a new revision has been released (will look into this more)

2) Initial download being slow at first until more people have the file.
[HTC Rezound] squidder:
I've already posted a few reasons why this won't work. I'm just saying that I guarantee the respected devs have knowledge of torrents and have seen this thread. The fact that they aren't posting here means they aren't interested not that they don't have knowledge of torrents
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
That's why I said the end-user side...

I did see that you addressed some issues, but I also gave my view on your concerns. You have your own opinions, and that's fine. However, I'm not restricting this to just Rezound developers; I've just started the topic here initially to see what kind of feedback I got. It seems end users are a bit interested, so I may continue with it. Hopefully dev's from other forums give their opinions rather than just ignore the topic like it has been here.

I've been PM'd by somebody today a bit high on the dev totem pole here on XDA, interested in the project. I'll find out more info once we discuss more.
[HTC Rezound] spitzaf:
If some devs choose not to utilize this service he's started, so be it. If there are some that do then they can. Options are always a plus, so why not make it available?

If you don't like it, don't use it, but don't speak for the whole community when there is no consensus.
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
That's pretty much what I was getting at when I started this. I was just making another viable option open to devs as a way to distribute their files to the people. I'm not forcing them to use it, I'm just suggesting they try it out before disregarding it. If they don't think it's for them, then that's fine; they can distribute their files in anyway they like.
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
Looks like it has been featured on the main news portal :D.

So far it seems like it has! Hopefully the popularity stays.

Thanks everybody!

Is there a music player that will recognize custom genres? I like to keep my 80's music in one genre but it seems all the players I have tried will list them as folk. I have updated and changed my tags to no avail. Any help is appreciated.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jwitt418:
PlayerPro will. Its the best music app I've ever had. And I've had alot. Its simply the simplest to use, but can be tweaked to the core if you like to do so. Also tons of skin options.

Hey guys, I'm looking for a universal friction mount to use in my car for my Galaxy Nexus. Coincidentally, my phone with its case fit perfectly into my old friction mount for my GPS, but now that I have the Hyperion 3800mAH battery plus case, I need something else. Reviews on Amazon are pretty mixed--it seems like a lot of the universal car mounts break pretty quickly when you open and close them a lot so I was hoping there was a trusted brand here. Thanks! (and I'd really prefer a friction mount not using any suction cups)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blu3Fr0g:
Back in the day when I had windows mobile, I had a program that synced my text messages, picture mail (sprint mms) and call logs to Outlook. When I upgraded to Outlook 2007 and this app ceased to function, I found a backup program that I could schedule to run each night that would backup these items to the SD card, retaining 3 days worth of backups on the card. If I forgot to restore them when I wiped, no problem the backup program could add only the new or missing ones back to the device. I would like to find a way to backup the same way with Android, does anyone know of anything like this for Android? :):cyclops:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahilarora2003:
for contacts and pics you can sync with your google account.

For messages you can use sms backup & restore.

I think there is no way to sync with outlook atm.

Yes you can set schedule backup to SD card for SMS, MMS, and call log(and much more) with Titanium backup, with flexibility to select frequency as well number of backup.

Read 'How to keep device backup up-to-date' on my signature.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asquared:
dr. ketan, does Titanium Backup offer the flexibility to backup the entire phone (ROM, application programs, data, pictures, videos, etc.)? Thanks in advance for your reply.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
No, TB can't backup ROM/Kernel or Pictures/Video.. TB can backup application(system and user) and data of application. It needs root to backup system app and data of app(syst/user)

ROM/Kernel can be backup by Nandroid.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthvedor:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] n80k:
looks like i had some bad luck today. my IMEI reads 0. from what i'm reading if i can restore a nandroid from before this happened it is possible to fix this. as luck would have it just before i realized there was a problem i deleted a whole bunch of nandroids i had because when i made the backups i hadn't cleared the cache and their size was massive. i never even heard of this IMEI problem before so i never made a backup of my efs folder. so i have some questions about what to do next.

1) i have an incomplete nandroid on my external sd card that wasnt able to complete the backup process before running out of room. i know for a fact that the system was backed up. the backup failed only after it tried backing up the data folder. is there any way of only restoring the system part of the backup? i tried an advanced restore to only restore /system and it said md5 checksum failed.

2) is there a way of undeleting the nandroids i deleted? they're on my internal sd card. so far the undelete programs ive found for both windows and android only restore from the external sd card

3) is there any other ways of restoring an IMEI?

help is much appreciated.

Go there, and that will help you to fix the problem :)

As for #1 and #2 im not completely sure :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] n80k:
WOW. that looks easy. maybe too easy. is there a catch? i had read somewhere that using this method forces the phone to constantly roam but i could be wrong.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
It may or may not be "roaming" but as far as ive read the roaming part is cosmetic and isn't really happening. But because you didn't backup thats your only known method to get it restored :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] n80k:
so i have good news and bad news.

good news: got the IMEI back

bad news: the mobile network state is disconnected, service state is out of service and mobile network type is unknown

in other words, that didn't fix my problem like i had hoped it would have. i can get 4g service. but nothing else.

:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
Same thing happened to my dad.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
Did you reprovision your device after restoring?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voodoomanx:
You may be able to extract the nv info from your partial backup. How to do this is beyond my pay grade.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stryker1297:
honestly now that the imei is fixed you may need to perform a reprovision. to do this, go to a touchwiz rom (any should work) and dial this in the phone:

*2767*3855#

it should fix your data services now that imei is intact but beware it will also perform a factory reset (like the ones performed in clockwork mod before flashing roms) as in it will dlete your apps but it is worth it. it will wipe then reboot (dont worry it will take a while so dont panic if bootanim takes a while) when it is done your data services should be back :) let me know if it works
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] n80k:
i think i heard about this trick somewhere before. doesn't it wipe the entire internal sd card?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crshinn:
I had to do this to get my data services back after injecting my IMEI. Total pain but it was worth it to get service restored. Only problem now is that it shows the phone as roaming but that's no big deal since it's only cosmetic.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] n80k:
so to confirm, it does wipe the internal sd card right? im at work and i would love to reprovision this right now but if it wipes all content on the internal sd card i want to wait until i get home so i can back it all up first. im not worried about a simple hard factory wipe since i have everything backed up with titanium pro.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crshinn:
I have everything on my external SD card so I don't know what reprovisioning does to the internal sd card. I wouldn't try it until you backup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] n80k:
looks like i was right. it does wipe the internal sd clean. i thought i had read this earlier and i finally found the post i had read: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30357448&postcount=2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] n80k:
well i reprovisioned it and... it worked! it has that annoying roaming notification going on but i could care less at this point.

i'm not saying that backing up my internal sd card was a waste of time... but it was a waste of time. as far as i can tell it didn't touch any files on the internal sd. i downloaded titanium backup from the play store and it restored all my apps just like before.

thanks for your help guys! :victory:

i need correct rom so i can flash it

thanks
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Im assuming you have the adb andvfastboot files on your pc, if not, you will need them!

1. connect phone to pc

2. open command prompt and cd C:\path_to_fastboot_files

3. press enter

4. Type "fastboot getvar all" (without the quotation marks)

5. copy the output into a post exluding IMEI and Serial number

6. Also copy out the information text on the hboot bootloader screen on the phone
[HTC Sensation] mps5566:
Hi thanks for quick reply i dont have fastboot file can send me link where can i download?

I know it's possible do restore apps and such using Titanium backup but I'm wondering if it's possible to restore using the TWRP backup?

I'm not sure what the different things do that TWRP backs up. System, cache, recovery, boot, data, (and something else). If it's possible to restore apps and such restoring from some of those, which ones?

Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] josh030181:
Make sure you do a nand backup then after you flash a rom go to your nand backup and restore only the data,

This has worked for me
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joeykrim:
Yes, restoring only the data partition will restore both the application .apk files themselves as well as the application's data files (settings, etc). The issue is when restoring data from a different ROM, the uid/gid could mismatch and cause a boot loop. This is one of the main reasons people suggest to wipe the data before loading a new ROM. Sometimes this issue can be fixed using the script, fix_permissions, in the custom recovery.

I think using Titanium Backup might work around this permissions uid/gid issue and might be one of the reasons people chose this over a nandroid restore of just the data partition.

In regards to your other question of what the different partitions "do" which TWRP backs up, here is a rough list off the top of my head:

system (holds all the Android OS files and stock apps)

data (holds all settings and 3rd party apps)

cache (temp partition usually used to store downloaded OTAs before they are loaded)

recovery (stores the custom recovery)

boot (stores the kernel)

Hope that helps fill in some of the missing details!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ItsTommyGun:
That does help. Thanks!
[Nexus S General] MRsf27:
Hey guys, so I'm kinda new at doing custom roms and kernels and I'm super eager to learn everything. I just unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone succesfully yesterday. But of course, rooting the nexus s is a must to install custom roms.

I want to know what you guys think are GOOD and STABLE ROMS where everything seems to function.

I was looking at the nexusshacks website and they have the AOKP kang jellybean ROM but I'm hearing from a bit of people that not everything works and it freezes at the boot screen. also there's a problem that apparently you cant see your gallery and music, and also data doesnt work on it.... I just want something that works good and is stable and gives me good battery life!

Thanks for your time
[Nexus S General] kwabby:
The best thing about these ROM is you can try them for yourself and see if it work for you.

A lot of people don't follow the instruction and complain all the time, there are people enjoying the ROM and you will never hear from them. My respect to the developers who do great work, because of them I have the latest and best android experience ever, for the last two years I have no need to upgrade my phone.

Try them all.

Robert
[Nexus S General] MRsf27:
Cool, thanks alot for the advice, I'd still like to know what other ROMs are out there tho so that I can try them all out one day :p

Is there a good kernel? I'm not too educated on kernels lol
[Nexus S General] nexususer1:
Hi;)

Rooting isn't a must for installing custom roms:) you can always use fastboot tool to install custom recovery:)

I've flashed one million custom roms to my i9023. And what I learned from it is flashing most of them was just a waste of time. However, if I hadn't done this, I wouldn't have known what to choose now. Gingbread roms are really fast and responsive. However they are not so smooth when it comes to scrolling. Also gingerbread roms lack a lot of nice features that come in later builds.

ICS was a misunderstanding for me. It was slow, laggy but the functionality was better than gingerbread. I was ready to sell my nexus because of that disappointment.

Finally Jelly Bean came along. And that, my friend is something different. Project butter makes the phone so smooth, scrolling is superb, animations and applications seems so smooth now. Speed of gingerbread(almost) and looks and functionality of ics:)

You can try every rom you can. You're gonna waste a lot of time just on flashing restoring, flashing and restoring and so on. You might even get frustrated. Or you can try this and simply start liking your phone:)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1854366

This is pretty stock, just the way I like it. It's freaking smooth, it hardly ever lags, perfect to bring you some smile from using your nexus:) most of other roms always come up with some bug or lack of some feature that works on stock rom. The rom I mentioned simply works. Trust me and install this one and you won't regret:)
[Nexus S General] MRsf27:
cool thanks man... ONE question before I begin... Im assuming the kernel is already in the ROM .zip file here right? Now if the kernel is seperate do you just add into the SD card like adding a ROM to the sd card? do you have to do anything under recovery?
[Nexus S General] nexususer1:
Kernel is included. Just install this rom from the recovery:) kernels are always in a zip file, you install them like you install a rom.

But this time you don't have to even think about the kernel, because it's already built into whole rom zip file:)
[Nexus S General] dirt:
the pic & music issue is probably related to the bad Rom manager app update that put .nomedia files where they didn't belong.

I always run a new/updated Rom with its baked in kernel for a day or two to see how it does before flashing a separate kernel, unless I have major issues related to the baked in kernel. Not all devices act the same, even on the exact same setup.
[Nexus S General] nstant:
If you're new to the whole flashing game with the android devices id say start with Flashing Custom Kernels. So you can get the the feel for what just the kernel can do for your phone. There's a couple well named ones that you might hear a lot about like the Matr1x Kernel, GLaDOS Kernel, Thalamus Kernel. For the most part a few of them have the same stuff but certain Kernels run faster or smoother. Once you get the hang of that then move to Custom ROMS. As everyone says you kinda have to try out Everything for yourself as 2 people can have 2 completely different experiences with flashing. Essentially though, the Names that you see a lot are typically the most liked ROMS and Kernels for there Features and Stability.

Happy Flashing :D
[Nexus S General] TG2708:
I think its the other way around due to fact that I would not recommend flashing a kernel over stock ota without backing up first. Reason for this is that if you want to get an ota update with the stock ROM it won't work if the kernel is different from the one Google provides (experienced this problem while trying to flash a completely stock Google provided rom). So I would first flash a ROM and test it, trying as many features and see if that's what I like and then start experimenting with different kernels as most might not be stable for your particular phone. I am a vanilla Android type of person nonetheless.

Note: the rom a developer chooses are most likely the ones that he thinks are the most stable so in theory you should not run into any problem with it.
[Nexus S General] MRsf27:
Hey guys i really appreciate the advise. Just to let you all know, I flashed AOKP kang ROM and it's so smooth and quick. I also flashed a matrix kernel v.22 (believe its the cfc version). However, I was really hoping to overclock my cpu a little to get some better gaming performance. I'm looking everything under the ROM settings and the actual phone settings to see if there's anything to change for the cpu.

How do I overclock the cpu??? I know there's customizable roms where you can overclock the cpu for games then tone it down for normal usage and what not; that's really what I wanted.
[Nexus S General] nstant:
I use a an APP called "NSTools" or "SetCPU"
[Nexus S General] dirt:
I'm order to oc, you must be using a kernel that supports oc. The matr1x 22.5 (his jb version) doesn't support oc, but he should have a new version it soon. I can't say if it can be overclocked though.
[Nexus S General] MRsf27:
Hey thanks for the info... I was just be wondering if you know of any kernels that would go with aokp kang that I can over clock?
