To be honest, I understand your concerns. And I state at the top of the tutorial that I've not done this process personally. And it's also the reason I an looking for verification of steps. Something, if you'll recall, I've never bothered with before, save once.

As for why I'm doing it, despite reservations, is to continue contributing to this community.

And finally, you are right. There are people who are uneducated out there. And, ya know what, they can read until their eyes bleed. Most of them won't truly understand what they are doing, until they do it once. I was there, so were you, and everyone else, at some point. If they have to learn, if rather them doing this on a phone such as this, as opposed to something that can be bricked a lot easier.

Finally, this tutorial wouldn't just be for this forum, but for ac and phandroid,.as well. It may not be needed here, since you are correct, this forum is much more developer oriented. Other places, not nearly as much.

All of that being said, I am still not wholly convinced I should write a tutorial for something I've never done. Whatever my motives. And I am open to input on the subject.

Although I have upgraded to eg04, I don't have a whole lot of experience with this stuff, so if you want a "rookies" point of view I'd be happy to take a look.
[Continuum Android Development] ciscogee:
I would have saved this one for the tut OP. :P

Like txwolf said we all registered here the same way and and the way I see it, contributors help out more than devs, not too many devs make tuts. I unsterstand worries of tx tuting "blind", yet I think him and I spoke on the phone for about an hour about what I did. (My case was dif, my contini isn't my main device, its my best device though). Can't stop people from rushing into it without reading through. As long as there is disclaimers. His contribution also makes a thread to continue the discussion more neatly.

EDIT:

plus the "guide" given is not for eg04, its for any sw update, the phone make its update within the kernel fota.rc. no support has been given by OP. this is a discussion forum, post and discuss.
[Continuum Android Development] colbyman:
I've flashed EG04 and ciscogee's debloated rom. I keep getting buggy errors like roaddog described...I started downloading a bunch of apps and my phone freezes and then freezes again about 15 seconds after every battery pull/reboot, even before I've launched any of the new apps. I've reflashed a couple times to make sure I didn't miss any steps but it all works fine until I start adding apps and then, kerplop. It may be certain apps causing the issue, but I like the apps I use lol and I may go back to EC09 since it doesn't have any of those errors.

Anybody else been experiencing this? trailblazer, sounds like i should uninstall superuser, install supersu, root, and try again? or are you still getting black screens etc?
[Continuum Android Development] roaddog665:
I downloaded supersu, let it update the binary(grant su access) then un installed superuser... Took a couple tries, but once done I've had no issues.
[Continuum Android Development] ciscogee:
see if THIS [superSU-CWM] works.... flash cwm, ill add superSU to my rom [after HoeMWoRK, i dont use too many apks, but when i installed screenshot it (cause back button closes notify bar and i want screenie of it) i got the freeze and freeze after reboot, im working on trying to edit the pit but we only got 512mb in system and seem to be all used :(. not sure if this is the issue, but if i can repack zimage and edit init.rc for ext4 and sd-ext i can take all the allocated/sytem/app ish.
[Continuum Android Development] roaddog665:
I've flashed back to stock EG04 a couple times, and every time I try to root it seems like something isn't getting installed... Once was su, another busybox, this last time it was superuser... Is this a lack of memory issue? This last time it got everything but superuser and as soon as I dl'ed it from the market it worked fine.

Or I could have no idea what I'm talking about! :p
[Continuum Android Development] ciscogee:
Yeah try and debloat, there is still all the widgets intact, and navagator etc. I only took out enough to cover what I need.

Wipe wipe wipe. Cache/dalvik.

Rooting should take but then u gotta dl su
[Continuum Android Development] colbyman:
I downloaded supersu, updated binary, then deleted the superuser apk from system/apps.. Seems to be working fine now. Would have used your updated rom ciscogee but had already done this before i saw your post.

Couple things of note: I read in another post that a couple people had experienced buggy ticker sleep time. same here, had to set about 5 times before it finally saved my changes. also, when flashing EG04, rom, etc, it was weird. I had to do each change, then reboot normal, then shut down and go into download mode or cwm to do the next step. So between EG04, flashing CWM (flashing EG04 seems to "break" my cyan CWM), flashing the deodexed/rooted ROM, and then apply a couple trailblazer framework changes, i had to reboot 4 times. I tried doing multiple steps at once, and if i did, i'd start getting the black screen of stupidity.

Doing things one by one, and then taking off superuser and downloading supersu, seems to have done the trick...phone seems to be acting normal now...will update if anything changes.
[Continuum Android Development] pattielipp:
Wanted to stop by and say hello. Absolutly thrilled to see this! i will pull my continuum out tonight after work and see what i can come up with for this. Possibly a deodexed and debloated build in the next few days. How's it going Ciscoo and Trailblazer? Just built my PC up to start building from source :)

32GB of memory and 8 cores should do just fine :)

Still no Data

So I've flashed everything according to the guide exactly and still have no data. But this is where it gets wierd...I can no longer acces any hidden menus. even the *#22745927 one. a little help restoring my calibration?
[Continuum Android Development] trailblazer101:
Alright, good... As long as you backed up your data, this shouldn't be that bad :P Can you give me more information by what you mean with that you can't access the *#22745927 menu? What happens exactly? Will it just sit there on the text, or will it start to do something and freeze?
[Continuum Android Development] myeweb:
Thanks for the swift reply, tb101. well i dial it in the dialer exactly and the numbers that i dialed go away, but no menu pops up it just stays in the dialer. i have my data backed up so i can always just go back to EC09. It doesn't freeze, just doesn't reply to my "commands". I figured it would be best to restore my calibration but as I cannot access the hidden menus it makes it quite complicated.
[Continuum Android Development] trailblazer101:
The fact that you can't access the menu makes me think that something went wrong during the flash... What does it say when you go to settings ---> about... For radio, kernel, etc...
[Continuum Android Development] myeweb:
nevermind, i decided to try reflashing and everything got up and running fine. my problem was i didnt flash stock deodexed before trying ciscogee's 00 release. thanks for the advice!

Hey guys been long time since I checked in. Im supprised to see gingerbread. now I have questions

is the rom stable to be a daily driver still using phone cant upgrade till feb

is it fast I don't want a laggy phone.

are all the features working in this rom.

thanks for the help and glad to see people still plucking away at this beast. thsiis a great phone to bad it didn't take off like I had hoped. anyway thanks
[Continuum Android Development] roaddog665:
I "upgraded" and use the phone everyday. The "stock" gb leak runs fine... As good or better than froyo. It seems some people have had issues when flashing mods, including me. Sometimes when a mod is flashed it will work fine, other times the exact same mod will cause a bunch of issues. I'm assuming that for some reason getting a good flash is hit or miss. But, it's no big deal to reflash everything. Right now I'm running TB101's mod and a couple little things I did myself and it's working great... In fact, I think I'm done flashing for awhile and just going to enjoy it as it is. This is how the phone should have been out of the box. I'd say go for it, just make sure you follow the guide and get the calibration backed up!
[Continuum Android Development] tkrein:
do you have a ink to the guid and the leaked rom I must be retarded and cannot find it
[Continuum Android Development] roaddog665:
I'm at work so can't link the files.

All the files are listed in the OP. Just replace "DOT" with "." when you type them in your browser. You need to combine parts "A" and "B" to get the rom. You can use Odin or the PSTlite to flash, Garnett=pit, and the file you combined=PDA. MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP CALIBRATION BEFORE YOU FLASH ANYTHING!! Read the guide on how to back it up, and make sure it completes and says "Done". Fair warning, if you don't back up successfully and go ahead a flash, you will not have a data connection! As long as you get it backed up it will be fine.
[Continuum Android Development] tkrein:
wow do I feel stupid didnt even think of that thanks yes I got the calibration backed up tonight I will flash I think if time allows.
[Continuum Android Development] tkrein:
how do you combine the files put them in the same folder then zip or what

never mind found it
[Continuum Android Development] tkrein:
anyone know why my phone sometimes wont come out of sleep then It goes into a unknown upload mode.

the other issue im haveing is random reboots.

due you think rooting this and removing the bloatware would help with theses issues.

otherwise rom is fast really fast.
[Continuum Android Development] roaddog665:
Just my opinion, and others may differ, but it does seem that flashing on this is real touchy... One time it will work great, the next it will be junk. I would flash it again and see if it's any better. It is a leak, so probably always have a few hiccups. I think my last spontaneous reboot was two or three days ago... I can live with that. And Debloating will help.
[Continuum Android Development] tkrein:
the system part had no room left cleaned out and she is working much better if you are having problems with super user that is the reason. after de bloating she is running fine. just some screen flickers
[Continuum Android Development] roaddog665:
Bingo...

Last time I flashed, there wasn't room for superuser in the system when I rooted with super1click. Had to DL it from the market. Just an FYI, it seems to work better with SuperSU than with superuser.
[Continuum Android Development] XjokiX7:
Roaddog! Another launcher I recommend for you to try. :) The new ADW Launcher update makes it look and feel great! Smooth too. :o
[Continuum Android Development] roaddog665:
Lol! Thanks, but since Trailblazer was nice enough to get the ticker call screen working with Holo, I think I'm set up. This thing is running like a cat with its tail on fire right now, so I'm to scared to change anything! :D Besides, I love the way it looks right now.

But I will keep it in mind if I decide to change stuff up again! I can't leave it alone to long! Haha!
[Continuum Android Development] XjokiX7:
That's fine. :) hope you enjoy it if you do try it!

[Continuum Android Development] XjokiX7:
Links are on the very first page.Reread it if you have to. Is it stable? Yes and no since its a leaked firmware.. It runs smoother than 2.2 but it will have some noticeable problems.
[Continuum Android Development] jaycush:
Ok, so once again a couple of months behind but I think I'm finally ready to take the gb plunge. I've combined the files, rom in pda, garnet in pit, could not figure out the config backup, so if anyone still watches the threads I could use a hint or five. I should probably spend more time learning but time is something I don't have when I have kids to raise.

My kids have sucked my brain empty, I see why I couldn't back up calibration will try again.

You're stuck in what is commonly referred to as a boot loop. I would boot into recovery through the bootloader menu and try wiping Dalvik cache and data. If you're using ClockWorkMod recovery, I'd swap to something else, like Smelkus or another Amon Ra-based recovery. CWM and the OG EVO don't always play well together. I'll be happy to walk you through the steps to do what I've listed above if you need it.

Also, if you can get into recovery and have a ROM on your SD card, you might try re-flashing the ROM. Just make sure you wipe before you flash (I always wipe after flashing, too).

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thinkbig12:
I've tried both GrooveIP and Talkatone, and both apps result in very quiet incoming audio. I have no complaints from the person on the other end hearing me, but I can barely hear them. Going into the settings of each program and boosting the speaker gain helps a little, but hinders audio quality. Even using the gain boost in each program has little effect on the earpiece volume (using the earpiece on the phone).

Is there another setting in either app or on the phone itself I might be missing? I am on an Epic 4G Touch running PhantomPhreak's CM10 ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thinkbig12:
healing ewEBPGO

I found a solution. It seems odd, but I'm not complaining. It works. Using Talkatone, I went into the call settings and changed the "audio playback stream" from voice call to music. I noticed by changing this, it also deselected the hardware echo cancellation. It's odd changing this setting makes callers go from nearly inaudible because the sound is so quiet to being nearly like a normal non-wifi call. If I had to guess, the Epic 4g touch has no hardware echo cancellation or it isn't compatible with Talkatone if it does. In any case, I'm happy I can use wifi calling and finally hear the other person.

Hello guys yesterday I installed NTX custom ROM, as far didn't had any problem, but one thing I didn't like about the ROM was it has a light menu list thing. So I decided to search for a solution. I found one but it works just 50% and what I mean by that I changed the "menu_background_fill_parent_width.9.png" to the original Xperia one and now it's black :). But the text didn't change so now I can't see the text under the img. So I searched again for a solution. They tolled to another guy with the same thing to change something in the style.xml file, the problem for me is that I don't have a style.xml file so someone can help me what to change ? thanks :)

Just trying to figure out how I can upgrade to 4.1.2 w/o reflashing to the stock kernel.

My Nexus is rooted running the stock ROM with Motley kernel.

Using CWM. Tried to flash the update.zip file available only thru CWM but was getting some errors (mainly about the Gmail.apk). I'm also not sure that the Motley kernel will work with the update since it's built on 4.1.1.

I haven't been able to pull the OTA update from my Nexus yet (and I'm in the US)... tried everything, just doesn't show the update as available.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samw52000:

nah, just flashed the Motley Kernel and installed SetCPU.

I reflashed the Kernel fine to stock. Reinstalled Gmail.

I just tried it again, still getting assert failed: apply_patch_check error for Gmail.apk. Grrrrrr

Now for the other noob question.

If I was to backup the device with Titanium backup (I have the Pro version linked to my Dropbox account), wipe the device and de-root, return to stock then restore the backup would I have any issues with the restore process (maybe not compatible from one rom version to another).

Are the settings retained in the restore process (like wallpapers, Wifi networks, installed apps and settings) or would these need to be manually restored?

I haven't gone thru the process before (at least on an Android) so I figured I would ask.
