Get darkside wipe scripts (both wipe cache and super wipe)

Go ahead with the Jedi X1 ROM its very stable and fast as hell

But if you want Jelly Bean I recommend Galaxy SBean v8 or Liquidsmooth rc8 they're the most stable JB ROMs from what I experienced

Remember to always wipe dalvic cache and fix permissions (darkside cache wipe) after flashing a new ROM

After you flash your ROM and Gapps then boot that's when you can flash kernels, mods, and apk's so it would have a lesser chance of a soft brick

Happy Flashing!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] benjmiester:
Cool. Thanks for the reply. I went and grabbed super wipe and cache wipe. So essentially, I just put those two on my sd and flash like I do a rom zip from recovery and then flash the rom itself and do a darkside cache wipe after new rom is installed before restarting and booting for the first time? Do I still need to do factory reset/wipe or is that part of the scripts? I have the goo app so I can use twrp instead since it's recommended for almost all roms I will be installing. Any major reason why, besides that it has touch function and backup renaming? Is it safe to install from the goo app on stock rom?

I think I will probably try one of the jellybean roms you suggested. I just didn't want random reboots, and I heard that's an issue with jelly bean roms but I think that might have been specific to aokp ones or something. Occasional FCs aren't too big of a deal though.

One other thing though... how do I fix permissions? I kept reading about that but never did it. Do you mean in recovery or under superuser?

how to properly flash a rom

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1926754

just follow that and you should be fine.

you can fix permission in recovery. its under advanced in cwm and twrp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] benjmiester:
Ok thanks. He seems to recommend not using the darkside scripts. I have a slightly older CWM 5.0.2.6 that I did via odin BTW so do I fall into the 'don't' use darkside category or does he mean anything after 5.0.2.7? I don't mind wiping cache and dalvik manually and doing all the formats if that's the case.

Do I fix permissions after I have booted the rom and waited 10 mins and restarted back into cwm or before I boot it for the first time?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] arcsine:
I usually do it after flashing. And you don't need to do it every single time. Also, there's no need to follow everything down to the letter when you flash, wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset/wipe system/fix permissions/sit for 10 mins/reboot/reboot again/etc. Flashing is like cooking. As long as you don't deviate too much from the recipe, you'll get edible food (or a working ROM). If it doesn't work out, just toss the food out and try again (softbricked phone, reflash). If you try something stupid, you'll set your kitchen on fire when you don't have insurance (comparable to hard bricking your phone).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaylanPHNX:
I usually wait till I've restored all my apps before fixing permissions, and then sometimes I don't if everything is working fine. As for recovery, I know you're familiar with CWM, but I'd recommend spending some time using TWRP. It's really great. You don't need the scripts with TWRP, but since TWRP lets you cue up zips, you can set it to do super wipe, ROM, gapps, and cache wipe all in one go. Kinda cool. And if you're itching to try jelly bean, AOKP JB milestone 1 is stable and smooth. There are even a couple custom kernels for it and CM10 (which has also reached a stable version, though I haven't tried it).

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thatdude02:
Dark side super wipe and cache wipe work perfectly on 5.0.2.6! That's how I got PACman ROM on my phone. I didn't bother with fix permissions. Well, I would say don't worry unless the instructions specify to do so.

Either way, I like CWM because I used it on my Samsung Galaxy Ace. Its just the wipes are broken for this phone so the scripts have to be used and work perfect. Happy flashing! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] merrygocow:
no it's fine to use the scripts w/ cwm 5. just don't use the scripts on cwm 6. that's what he meant.

i usually fix permission after the first reboot & waiting 10-15 mins.

i second the twrp recommendation...however if you're flashing something old, then cwm is the way to go. i haven't had any problems flashing anything in cwm. the latest twrp however failed me after i tried to flash a gb theme for jugg lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] benjmiester:
Ok, just wanted to make sure on that one.

Thanks for all the input everybody. Hopefully I will get a chance to do my flash over the holiday. I plan on going with the Sbean V8. Really all of the roms out look excellent but this one looks good for a JB daily driver. I went ahead and downloaded Jedi X1 too though in case the sbean doesn't work out for whatever reason. I have to tether my phone at home for internet so I thought it might be good to have a backup just in case PDAnet doesn't want to work.

Is twrp ok to install from Goo manager on my stock rom or should I flash a new rom and then use it from then on? I just want to make sure it won't conflict with the stocker or the CWM that I have on it already.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] benjmiester:
--Update--

I got Sbean v8 installed and working just wonderfully! I used CWM for my install with the darkside superwipe and cache wipe scripts. Everything went fine and i'm very happy with the new rom. Thanks everyone. I hope this thread will help any other first flashers in the future.

Hi guys,

I'm in Canada and using a sim card of Rogers. I love Droid DNA so much and I don't want to wait for the World-Wide Version or the Canadian version to come out. I just want to make sure that can I use Rogers 4G LTE on a Verizon Droid DNA in Canada?

Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] prospects:
hello im in Florida , and bought the DNA last week , im using my Rogers sim card with no problem , and i LOVE THE PHONE
[HTC Droid DNA] frogstar42:
Were you able to just walk into a Verizon store and buy it without becoming a Verizon customer? Is it Factory unlocked? The web masses say YES but the Verizon people are probably trained to say No.
[HTC Droid DNA] baronmxc:
I popped in a friend's AT&T SIM and had no issues. It picked up service pretty quick. You should be able to buy the phone outright from Verizon without being a customer. In the past I was just asked for my ID (before I had Verizon).
[HTC Droid DNA] prospects:
no way to get it outright !! i had to buy service and 2 years contract , got the phone at $199 , and i will pay cancelleton fees, its factory unlock and i LOVE IT

i am looking to get rid of mine lmk if interested as it would get to Canada fast from Montana ;p
[HTC Droid DNA] chad lewis:
why are you selling it ?

not as good as its made out to be? im curious.

im in the same boat.; in canada, just returned the samsung s3, didnt like it.

now on the fence between the iphone 5 and the droid dna.(beacuse i like a nice slick build quality and the s3 felt like a cheap vcr remote)
[HTC Droid DNA] TheSmokingAndroid:
I would love to see the DNA come to Canada, but friend, DON'T GET AN iPhone!!! If build quality is what you're concerned with, i'm sure everyone here will agree with me that Motorola is the way to go, IF you want a device that has amazing build quality that you can feel in the hand. I am a Samsung fanboy, but i've also owned and reviewed (for my youtube channel) many Moto Android devices, and i have to say, they have, hands down, the best build quality of any devices i've held in my hands. Some people may flame me for this, but i think Moto has better build quality than HTC, and i really enjoy HTC devices!

But don't down grade to an iPhone! Coming from Android, you would regret it, i'm positive of that. =)

Cheers,

Jared
[HTC Droid DNA] chad lewis:
well I have an iPhone 4for the past 2 years. why do you say don't get an iPhone?

lets not discuss which os is is better. I'm talking about performance here. and yes build quality. and I've yet to see an objective comparison where another phone outperformed the iPhone 5 .
[HTC Droid DNA] andybones:
hmmm

iphone5 or DNA...

DNA! lmfao
[HTC Droid DNA] UltraNoob:
im also interested in getting one. I am also from canada and might make a trip down to the states for the holidays. Can i just walk into a verizon store and buy one outright?
[HTC Droid DNA] chad lewis:
i just checked out a couple of motorolas, they are decent but still completely plastic. the iphone 5 is made from glass and aluminum. its pretty hard to top that.

but i dont mind the feel of the htc's.

can anyone tell me the best way to get one for use in canada?

should i just buy one on ebay from the us?

and does the droid dna have a sim card?

a local cell phone store told me if it has a sim card then they will be able to unlock it and it will work.

andybones, why lmfao?

why do you think the dna is so much better than the iphone 5?
[HTC Droid DNA] fatcatci:
only works with 3G? Does the HTC droid DNA work on Rogers' LTE network as well?
[HTC Droid DNA] aminhamza95:
Yup, the DNA has a SIM Card slot, I'm using it on Fido LTE :) Works perfect! My brother lived in the States so I just asked him to pick one up for me. The phone is awesome, much better than the S3 i9300
[HTC Droid DNA] chad lewis:
cool that's good to hear since I went ahead and bought one on eBay. and returned my s3!!!

I've heard some talk about the battery life?
[HTC Droid DNA] aminhamza95:
Can't say too much on battery life, only had it for about a week, but it generally seems pretty solid, lasts me a good day of usage (browsing, facebook, twitter, calls, the reg, etc) just make sure you close apps that are unnecessarily running in the background as that'll slow the phone a bit (depending on the app) and drain battery. hope you enjoy your DNA :)

[HTC Droid DNA] Victor Droogh:
Hi, I just got the DNA in America to use it in the Netherlands.

In a actual Verizon store i could not but a DNa without a kind of plan.

Even saying I want to buy it without a plan, they say you should pay 599 for the phone and x per month as a subscription.

So not doing that we went to a general electronics store that sells verizon products but was not an Verizon original store.

Here is where i could buy the DNA without a plan for 599.

Hope it helps.

I have a problem with the data connection in the netherlands, but i do not know if this works in Canada.
[HTC Droid DNA] longtins:
I have a droid DNA here in Canada, I can confirm that it is in fact sim unlocked out of the box. I won mine, so Im not sure about the hassle at a verizon store. I am trying to get it to connect to LTE. I have read several reports of it working no problem for people here, but can't seem to get it myself. I do get it to connect to hspa without an issue by putting in my apn settings and changing them to default.
[HTC Droid DNA] force70:
Ive been looking at this phone since it came out,I am on rogers here in Canada. LTE runs on 1700/2100mhz...DNA LTE (verizone) is 700mhz. unless there is a hack or some sort we will not get LTE with this phone. No way Im paying $600 for a phone that will be slow without LTE, too bad its a really nice piece of hardware.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
There is no possible way of making a phone work on bands it doesn't have radios that support it.

Hey everyone,

I'm running Omega 6.1 on my Note 2 (n7100) and I love it. The only thing that bugs me a bit and can't seem to figure a way around it is the shortcuts in the notification bar.

Anyone have any ideas?

Other then what you can do in setting there not much you can do. You can try to find the 25 toggle mod and flash it to your phone. I haven't tried it yet so I don't know how well rit works on a stock room or how easy it is to add to a stock rom as I have had problems in the past with a mod not working for my phone
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicollivier:
I've finally installed the omega ROM, looks great, & I've found the "advanceS" apps, much more flexible than the Rom Stock.

But there is a way to add other toggles? (I like to see the RAM used, & the free space...)

Thanks

Hi everyone

Recently i got my Galaxy Note, but i would like to root it only. to gain access to apps like droidwall, adblocker and other more apps. i wonder does rooting a Note has any risk ? like bricking it or similar problem like this ?

Why am i asking this ? because my brother said that there's a risk rooting Note. i used to owned a Galaxy Tab GT P 1000 and i rooted it easily without risk or problems that was a year ago. but now my tab died due to some user here named cx5 posted misleading guide to flash latest ICS or JB caused my tab unable to power on anymore.

Actually this would have been the second time flashing a android phone if i did not follow misleading guide posted by some user here causing my tab to be bricked.

I'm still not sure why my brother said there's a risk of bricking when trying root a note.
