[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ssau81:
Every once in awhile when I use Titanium back up after flashing I will restart and be stuck in a boot loop. Pushing vol up, home and power does not load recovery and it seems like I am forced to use Odin and flash back to stock and go from there. I may not have a great understanding of using Odin but through some searches I have not been able to see how to load a custom ROM from it, at least I can not find anything in a .tar file.

My question is where am I going wrong with Titanium or is there an easy way to get recovery back when it won't load. This last time I was just going from one JB leak ROM to another, used XML for the backup and poof.

Thanks everyone for whatever help you can toss my way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
Do not use titanium backup to restore data... however you can use it to restore apps only. There are no custom roms with the odin or .tar format.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ssau81:
Thanks for the info! Was wondering if the data part was killing me but it seemed to work most of the time.

I've had my galaxy tab 2 10.1 for a 2 months now. I haven't had any issues until this morning. When I tried to use Chrome this morning and enter in a URL, I got the message "Unfortunately, Chrome has stopped." and the app quit. After a couple more attempts, I tried the Internet app, which gave me the same result. Crap. Tried my IM client and same thing after trying to use it. The apps will start, but if I try to interact with the UI, it will eventually give me that message that "Unfortunately, <app name> has stopped." and quit.

does not work...

That does not work. Tried it so many times. Only way is to do a factory reset, clear all your data, then spend a month configuring it again and then.... Same things happens. It is just not workable and Samsung does not give a toss. Time to get an iOS device instead...

Oh... If you bring it back to the store, Samsung will keep it for a month and then... You get it back at factory settings.

Install an older version of CWM through Rom Manager app. Should be 5.2.xx. This one should work just fine.
[LG Optimus Black] naleung:
But i fail to install older version of CWM through Rom manager, it said there is an error

I have tried updated the rom manager through google play but still fail to mount sd card

I am so frustrated, so can i download a rom manager apk file and re-intall it?

by the way thanks for your suggestion, you are so nice! :D

Just go and search for cwm touch flasher optimus black and look for an entry made by redy06. He created a flasher for the 5 version. You can also have a look into dev section. Dont know, if you maybe are able to install a cwm created by tantrums.

This is actually pretty awesome. It was always tedious to have to get my phone half way set up and download titanium backup pro, then install all my apps. One click zips is just too cool.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
If anyone has already done this, mind posting the steps necessary to get it done?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nyckrs:
Its under batch, scroll down till you see recovery mode, only one option that says create update.zip. Correct me if i am wrong.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
This is music to my ears. As a recovering flashaholic, I fully realize how much time it takes to restore 100+ apps. Plus, I always feel like my phone is so laggy during the restore, so it really does take about 15-20 minutes. This step will be a HUGE time saver.

The one question I have is does the first boot take longer? Would you almost recommend flashing the ROM and booting first, let the ROM settle and then boot to recovery and flash the TB zip?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crkdslider:
This is what I would probably feel more comfortable doing. I would like to make sure the actual ROM boots up first lol ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] srkmagnus:
Do you need to sign the update.zip before flashing? If so, what is everyone using to sign the file?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nyckrs:
I actually didn't try flashing the zip yet, just did a backup for next time i flash a rom, so i don't know if it needs to be signed sorry. Maybe someone else can answer the question?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
I flashed it no problem. Do not use the update.zip function in recovery. Just flash like a normal zip.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
1. You need to boot up first then reboot recovery for it to flash.

2. In my case flashed correctly but all apps were FCing and a lot of lag and freezes.

3. Stick to old way till they fix the problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
Finally they fix it. app+data update.zip wasn't compatible with odexed systems.

But im not able to find th file... Can someone tell where th zip is located
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
Did my restore, worked great! I was a little surprised by the fact that my phone automatically rebooted, but everything works fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
It is not necessary to sign update.zip unless you are using a stock recovery. Since most of us are rooted, I imagine we're also using a custom recovery so it won't be necessary. Like another user said, just flash it like normal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jigwashere:
After I create update.zip, can I edit it on my PC to add/remove items?

Thank you for the clarification. This is a great feature to have and will definitely make switching ROMs a whole lot easier.

Look at the link in the first page of this thread. When you click that link it takes you to a forum for your tab. The FIRST sticky tells you how to get CWM Recovery for your tablet.

I know you did that and backed up your tab before you flashed it so you should just be able to use CWM recovery to restore the backup you made before you flashed a new ROM.

Go through the forums and read, pick whatever looks appealing. There's a lot of choices...if you want TouchWiz check out all of the great TouchWiz ROMs (there's several Jellybean ROMs now), if you're tired of TW go to the Original section and check out the AOSP ROMs like AOKP and whatnot.

@OP. Best ROM threads are generally frowned upon because the almost always turn into pissing matches.

Your best bet is to go to the Dev section and read a few OPs. If one of them is your style, then go to the last 10 pages or so and see about any bugs or whatnot. If you like, then read, read, read.

You can still install it by pushing it via adb, or copying the file using a root file explorer. But be careful, cause if you brick your device, you ll have to completely reinstall the ROM, or at least, reflash, reroot and reinstall the rest with Titanium ;)

http://code.google.com/p/opptimizer/

Cyanogenmod team - for their fantastic mail/calendar/mms apps

http://www.cyanogenmod.org/

Motorola - for making all our lives more difficult

http://www.motorola.com

How-tos :-

===Over/Under Clock/Volt===

You can find a template overclocking script in /etc/init.d named "02overclock".

By default, all the options are commented out.

The script includes example values tuned for my specific CPU, so yours will probably not work with these values, but it also lists the default moto values for reference.

While testing, copy the script to /data and run it from there - don't put testing values in /etc/init.d or your device may bootloop.

To edit the script, type "rw" in terminal to enter read/write mode, then make the changes you want using your favorite text editor.

First, uncomment these lines

#echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

#echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

#insmod /system/lib/modules/symsearch.ko

#insmod /system/lib/modules/overclock.ko

#echo hotplug > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

Then start trying various settings for the 0,1,2,3 Steps of CPU scaling.

See the following article for details on tuning the VSEL and clock speeds to your device - proceed with caution.

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/14511-opptimizer-projekt-milestone-overclock-for-omap4-devices/

Once you have a stable set of values, in terminal "cp /data/02overclock /etc/init.d" and reboot.

Now your phone will apply these values on every boot.
[Motorola Droid 3] SeiferTV:
Sounds cool, might give it a shot.

Couple of cuestions:

what launcher does it have? ( I know I could easily replace it, but, just curious )

since it's deodexed, do you reckon rom toolbox themes would work?
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
Launcher - ADW, latest as of today.

Theming - should be possible, only some static resources in framework-res.apk have been modified, which I don't think will cause any problems.

I'll update 1st and 2nd posts with a lot more info in a few hours, am at work right now, so not cool to be spending too much time on forums.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
If I understand correctly this is NOT overclocked by default?
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
It looks fine so far, with one major exception: there is no settings->accounts & sync, so, since GMail is not installed by default, I cannot set my GMail account to sync after installing the app. (I do like to tweak these settings, so I'd have to see it back.)

Also, settings->battery & data manager->battery mode force closes (not a huge issue). Settings->battery & data manager->data delivery->Social applications force closes (expected that one.) If there is a way to disable these menu items, that would be a good thing - nobody like to get an FC.

Also, like Maverick, the default typeface dos not distinguish visibly between normal and bold type. In GMail, it is nearly impossible to tell which conversations have unread messages and which do not (unread have bold type on stock.) You can sort-of tell because unread and read conversations have a slightly different background, but it's too subtle to tell at a glance - you really have to look to see the difference.
[Motorola Droid 3] Jason Roach:
Nice to see a new rom development
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
@Endoroid Yep - not overclocked by default - you need to tune the overclock script in /etc/init.disabled/02overclock, testing carefully. Only when you have good settings for your CPU should you copy that script to /etc/init.d so it applies on boot.

@doogald

settings->accounts & sync - I'd recommend using the built-in email client. It handles gmail really well and has sync settings in the app.

settings->battery & data manager->battery, settings->battery & data manager->data delivery->Social applications force closes, yep both those features are removed. I'll look into tidying up the XML so it no longer shows those settings.

A patch release has just been uploaded to the OP, its a fix for headphone connectivity, well worth having.

Next target is a tidyup of the settings menus and an effort to get notification power widget and better battery/signal indicators.

Meanwhile - does anyone know of a source for a better built-in browser APK?

The D3's default one doesn't remember mobile/desktop useragent settings, so I usually end up installing Opera instead.

[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
how about dolphin? its very fast, and has a lot of enhancements.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
Thanks. I'll look at the email app, but I generally prefer the GMail app for important message support, etc. Second, I like to tweak the sync settings at times - turn off Google+, for example, or turn on Picasa if I am looking for photos that I know I have online, and then turn it off when I don't need it (most of the time). There are other apps that store sync settings in settings->accounts, such as Dropbox, so I'd like/need to have those settings exposed. Also, I know that some people like to sync Facebook or Twitter contacts.

Lastly, thanks for taking the time to develop this. It's great to see another ROM choice.
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
Hehe - so far I've been removing languages. It might be possible to make flashable language packs for it, I'll see if anyone's done something simillar.
