Please read the installation instructions carefully. If you have flashing problems or weird crashes. Check MD5SUM and the flashing process leaves a log in your internal sdcard root folder starting with embryo..., please pastebin the log file if you cannot do it your self).

* [07-APR-2013] EMBRYO-6.10. This is a full rom. Please see the Installation instructions and post installation instructions.

TMO-SGH-T989-EMBRYO-6.10-FULL.zip (PLEASE CHECK THE MD5SUM: 58215e01f5912b3df0724afc77ae2285)

Don't get cute with the installation step. If your recovery is doing it's job and have verified the MD5SUM, you should be good and don't have to deviate. Don't do nonsense like wipe 3x, fix permissions, etc..identify the problem that led you to deviate instead of crap shoot. Because, you will be hosed anyways..

Step 0) Do a Nandroid Backup, better yet make sure you have a backup of your SDCARD

Step 0a) Did you do the above? Do it NOW!!

Step 1) Download the full rom to your sdcard or download to your PC and move it to your sdcard.

Step 2) Make sure to check the MD5SUM of the ROM. (Check the MD5SUM on the device, not your PC)

Step 3) Boot into Recovery.

Step 4) Go to "mounts and storage". Format /system.

Step 5) execute "format wipe data/cache partition"

Step 6) Select and install the downloaded zip.

Step 7) If no errors, reboot. If you are having errors, the root of the internal sdcard will have a log file, starting with "embryo...", look into it or pastebin.

Step 8) Reboot

Step 9) Let it go through the install process. You will see the bootanimation kick in, touch-key light up and then install applications. If your touch-key does not light up, your are screwed, bad flash..look at the recovery log as mentioned in Step 7).

Step 10) Don't interact with the flashing process for at least 10 minutes, a lot of background services are going to building their cache, so don't interrupt, be patient.

* Please do NOT restore system data EVER with whatever backup tool you are using.

* If you are restoring data, please do it one at a time just to make sure the restore is fine. This is the #1 cause for people having issues. Take the time...or don't do it. (if using TiBU, prefer the XML backup/restore for SMS/MMS, WiFi and call log)

* All bloat is available from ROM Customizer, Settings -> ROMCustomizer -> Apk Management -> Bloat tab. Select and install from there.

* I have moved a lot of apps to /data partition, that does not mean that you can uninstall all of them, some of the apps are REQUIRED for the ROM to function without issues. It's your choice to uninstall. If things break do not waste a post.

* Let the ROM settle down for couple of days.
