[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gdroid1:
Would rom toolbox be fine for un-installing the stock ones we don't want?

What hboot version should we have. We originally had 0.93.0001 but after we s-off'd using revolutionary it changed to 6.something (gf is out with the phone).

For gparted I guess my question is about tuxboot which apparently is method a to installing gparted. And actually these are the options I have to choose: http://tuxboot.org/images/Tuxboot-sel-version.png

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
to remove the gapps u dont want, use a root explorer and navigate to sd-ext/gapps/system/app. Then just simply delete the ones you dont want. I cant really speak for rom toolbox since ive never used it, but ive actually heard bad things about it.

Your hboot is fine, you just have to be on stock. Im guessing you havent ever flashed an hboot right? In that case you are on stock.

Dont use tuxboot for making the live usb.

Download this gparted image: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gpa...4.1-6/gparted-live-0.14.1-6-i486.iso/download

Then ese universal usb installer (Download from here)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gdroid1:
Will try the gparted today or tomorrow. Thanks! I wonder why they don't post instructions for the way you recommend, seems so much easier.

For un-installing apps, I did use the stock Explorer that comes with the rom and deleted Google + bit is still there. I know rom toolbox has an uninstaller, maybe best to use that?

Btw out of curiosity I ran the a2sd script again and it seemed to move things over to sd better. Started with 66mb and after it running again it went to 110mb.

Nonetheless I will start from scratch to see if that helps. Would be nice if it was automatic add you have it.

Also how do you create roosts in this rom?

What do you do for battery life other than screen brightness and background data. The other day it was at 67% at 3pm after not being used at all and no data on. My s3 was used for pictures and a few messages for the same period and had 74%.

Thanks again!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
I'm not sure if ROM toolbox will uninstall them properly, since it might not remove them from the ext partition. I'm not 100% sure though.

You need a root explorer to delete from sd-ext/gapps/system/app.

I'd start again, something doesn't seem right.

I'm not sure what you mean by

" Also how do you create roosts in this rom?"

To manage the battery life I use easy battery saver set to intelligent mode. I can use my phone heavily for about 1.5 days until it fully dies.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gdroid1:
Thanks again.

Btw, what I was attempting to ask (I'm a lazy swipe typer often times) was how do you create folders?

Do you have random reboots?

Have you used any other roms with this device that you really like?

I feel like oxygen rom seems fitting for her since she is more concerned with being bug free versus new jb features and cool functionality. Oxygen also seems very responsive and the apps2sd is more complete but it always they are pushing data over too.

I'll stick with this rom for now but once we do the fresh format and install, if she still gets regular reboots and the apps2sd don't seem to allow more than 10 small apps, she'll want fully functional versus enjoying the coolness of latest jellybean on a great legacy device. We were running cyanogenmod 7 on gb 2.3.7 but it was buggy too and the apps to sd weren't great but worst it's battery life was terrible for since reason.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
To create folders you just download a file manager( I use astro) and navigate to your sd. Then you just click menu and create new folder.

Im not sure if thats what you are asking about.

Ive tried most of the jb roms and this one is my favorite mainly because of hpw stable i find it compared to other jb roms. I think after about two months of use I've only had around 5 random reboots, compared to other jb ROMs were I was getting them almost everyday.

Ive also tried all of mildwilds ROMs for a bit and they were very fast...but I ended up switching back to jb. I found it too depressing to use GB after using jb for so long.

From what I've seen on this forum the most stable ROM is probably mildwilds oxygen ROM.

If you can believe it, I'm just coming back to this now. The better half was sick of me messing with her phone (and we have two little ones so... yeah) but I've eased her into Floating Notifications and believe I may have enough in now to hold Halo over her head so i can play and update her ROM.

When I install ESE Universal USB on the the drive, what Linux distribution should I choose?

Thanks a Bunch and how is the updated ROM? Is performance or battery life improved and/or what else?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Sorry, could you give me a quick update as to what the state of your phone is right now. S-off. s-on? Whats your recovery? Partitions? Im too tired to read the whole thread :p

As for the rom, it is great. Im currently running it and its very smooth and fast. It has been updated on june 17th to paranoid android 3.60.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gdroid1:
S off, ext4, partitioned to 1gb but likely going to 512mb as you previously said that was best I believe.

Just wondering about partitioning using the live usb though, what Linux version do I choose when creating the bootable usb?

Thanks a bunch!

P. S. How are you enjoying Halo?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
No need to reduce your ext4 partition size, as this will limit your app space. Depending on your A2SD script, 512MB can still fill up quite quickly with apps (and dalvik).

Not much point in reducing the size to 512MB, and getting the "low storage" notification, kinda defeats the purpose of rooting, partitioning and going through all of this in the first place!

Some people run 2GB ext4 partitions just fine. 1.5GB is a safe maximum. 1GB may be suitable for your usage depending on the number of apps you use.

Long story short, leave it. :good:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gdroid1:
Okay will do. Actually I think we're at 1.5gb but it still folks up really quick and that's workout many apps installed, about 10 small to medium (average 15mb). We clear cache a lot to retain space so not sure as chromium said he's running about 50 apps.

He suggested I format the sd with gparted using a live bootable usb. I previously used the ext4 recovery. So in just wondering now what Linux version I use when creating the live usb. Any idea?

Also any idea if the calendar fix is better in the newer version? We haven't been able to get it to work for a while, multiple full wipes. Hoping the gparted partition and new paranoid android version will fix that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
On how quickly partitions fill up depends on apps and what script you're using. Generally put app apks and dalvik cache on sd-ext, keep app data on internal. I always recommend an app like 'diskusage' to browse all your partitions.

4ext recovery is recommended just as much as gparted. Both create properly aligned partitions, 4ext recovery is just easier. No idea about linux version from live usb. I used gparted from live bootable cd disc, found that very quick and easy.

Personally, if your ext4 partition was already created correctly in 4ext recovery (just one FAT32 and one 1.5GB ext4 partition, no swap), I'd leave it. You can backup your sd card, and repartition using 4ext again?

No idea about calendar fix, never used that rom, only on my tablet.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gdroid1:
Yeah chrominum thought my calendar fix and seemingly lack of proper a2sd script may be due to the partition. 4ext says it is properly aligned though. I have partitioned it about 15 times properly and never had the calendar fix work (except once when I partitioned improperly, oddly enough) and the apps to sd didn't seem proper. The rom had a built in script a2sd which pushes all Nexus stock apps to sd which does work but the space left over for additional apps is never right. Still allows more than stock htc but not quite there.

Maybe it's worth a try to reflash the rom on a fresh ext partition since the rom had been updated first. Is the cd Gparted simple? Anything in particular I should know for selecting options on that if I try it?

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Sorry, reading this thread now i seemed to have made some weird suggestions lol

I would recommend starting fresh, like you said, by deleting all the partitions on the card using gparted or even the default format option in windows (so that its just 1 fat32 partition), and then use 4ext recovery to make a 1.5gb ext4 partition. Theres really no need to go through all the hassle of gparted. From there you can reflash the rom, and run the a2sd install script:

su
a2sd install
y
n
y

As for the calendar fix is your problem that it doesnt flash? All that the zip really does is delete Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk from sd-ext/gapps/system/app. You can do this manually using a root file explorer.
[HTC One V] lehunch:
first off, I'd like to give thanks to everyone on this fantastic site, it's been incredible reading tutorials on here and learning a whole lot of tricks. this here is my first thread and before I go off to look for those I owe *thanks to* I have a question am hoping I can get help with.

my HTC One (GSM) is unlocked, has a Custom Recovery (TWRP 2.3.3) and is rooted. I can install custom 4.0.. ROMS (currently running myONEv RC9.5 FX+ by ckpv5). I have however tried several times to install 4.2.2 ROMS that are on here but to no avail. with the little knowledge that I have gained after several attempts, I realise that the 4.2.2 ROMS are not flashing properly as they don't bring on a custom installer like the ROMS that are working.

can somebody please tell me why? should I update my recovery? or is there something I'm missing?

P.S, I can't seem to get a working 2.5.5 TWRP, at the developers website, their download always dies at 99.9%. ALWAYS :(

my phones details are as follows

PRIMOU PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.16.0000

RADIO-3831.15.00.19_M

eMMC-boot

[HTC One V] Seraz007:
4.2.2 ROMS have some bugs so i suggest u try some other ROMS

however if u want 4.2.2 , u can always flash it and USE THE CORRECT KERNEL

BTW, 4.2 ROMS dont bring up a custom installer so its normal

if in ur recovery it says succesful then the rom is flashed properly but check if u have the appropriate kernel

You dont need to update recovery however it is best doing so; your current recovery is just fine

EDIT: use this kernel : http://www.mediafire.com/?y04jyyu2wk2fig3
[HTC One V] lehunch:
well..

I want 4.2.2 so badly its eating me up :laugh:. will settle for a 4.1.. if I don't get it right. it's just so darn pleasing seeing my ROM much much higher than all my friends.. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

thank you for that piece of knowledge about the 4.2.2 ROMS not having installers. I pretty much thought that was the problem. I have been successful in installing the zips but not once have I gotten past the HTC developer warning (recovery boot animation?). I have been using the kernels that are inside the zips, going to try to load PACMAN 4.2.2 with the kernel you just gave me.

one last question, why can't I see the thank you button? is there a number of times am supposed to post before I can use it? am on a PC so am supposed to see everything, right??
[HTC One V] Seraz007:
If your GSM, the latest PACman ROM has issues

u can boot it with the given kernel but u wont get any mobile data connection

if u must try a 4.2 rom then go for Paranoid Android 3

dunno abt the thank u button, didnt happened to me(PC)

maybe you're just signed off? :p
[HTC One V] lehunch:
PAC won't even install this time round and my backup has gone into a boot loop. gargh *pulls off hair*. off to download the paranoid android, will be back with results. gracias signore for all your help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kinuser1:
So, I have my Galaxy Note 2 rooted, my own mods and themes, with CLEANROM ACE 4.7 (updating to 4.8 now)

I JUST got this replacement phone a couple days ago, and I HATE getting a phone that isn not up to par with my standards which are:no blemishes or defects

I got off work and now I keep have signal issues. It is not from the root, or ROM because I factory rest wipe cache, dalvik, and wiped the ROM. So I called Customer Support.

The call ended up being almost an hour (the replacement took 5 minutes to send out)

Turns out the man I was talking to was a big techie.

I told him how I was tired of getting phones with physical defects and he said it's not Verizon's fault they're not in the phone making business, which is true. He told me "you know you've had 34 replacements and you didn't have to pay a thing. We're here to provide excellent customer service. No phone is perfect and if they were, I wouldn't have a job. So you have pretty much tried everything. There is another way you can go and if you want, ROOT your device that way you can be like "screw your software I want my own"

After he said that The call just went on and on. Turned out to be pretty good.

So for those of you that blame Verizon for all of your issues, blame the manufacturer.

Bucket List

101: Have a Verizon representative tell you to root your device : CHECK

102: Have a Verizon representative say Apple monopolizes their phones and will not pay them : CHECK

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kinuser1:
Verizon likes to send me phones that have physical defects. One time they sent me one with a dented bezel and I wrote on a piece of paper "Learn how to inspect yours phones. I'm disappointed" stuck it under a screen protector and sent it back. Ever since then, samsung is making the bezels out of a different plastic and finish that does NOT crack.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
It's going to get scratches and dings unless you wrap it in bubble wrap and never touch it. It's just a phone. There are better things to be obsessed over.

Also, I'm hoping that you don't believe your piece of paper made such an impact that they changed the bezel material.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1ManWolfePack:

Wait, wow.... 34 replacements of the SAME phone? Now thats wild... I work at Verizon and I've never seen that before. What makes the phone so bad? Ive had/done plenty of certified like new replacements and never had a defect except 1 phone that had a bad AMOLED screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BeansTown106:
completely agree lol..

and did u ever think that maybe the reson your having bad service etc. is cuz your running a rom based off the international note2's code.. thats missing a ton of verizon specific network code etc.. just saying :P

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Domoo:
Not sure if it'll work but you can try using a third party ad blocker such as adaway and override the host file. You can white list ad.fly to resolve your issue.

A fellow AT&T One owner was able to get an unlock.bin file from htcdev.com, leading me to believe that the bootloader on the AT&T HTC One might actually be unlockable. He has not gotten back to me with a picture of the HBOOT screen saying that it is unlocked, but the fact that he was able to get an unlock.bin file means that he got pretty far into the process.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
I have built Pure HD v4.0c as my Rom1, and Omega v44.3 as my secondary. Everything seems to be working well so I booted to Primary Recovery and ran a backup. I connected my phone to PC and went to /clockworkmod/backup and there was my new back up, with this morning's date.

By size, it looks like the backup has done both primary and secondary. If so, am I able to do an 'Advanced Restore' and restore just one partition? I want to run Purelook v5 onto the Primary partition and some questions are...

1. Will the new ROM affect the dual boot setup? (I will install it with Siyah and I have the DL of Siayh if I can't get STweaks to work after the install)

2. If I run an Aroma install with full wipe, do I lose the 2nd boot setup? If so, which 'Wipe' actions can I do to clean the new boot area as much as possible for the new ROM? (e.g. cache, dalvik etc.)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
I managed to get my dual boot set up working how I want. I wanted to trial Omega 6 AOKP as my 2nd ROM - I used STweaks to get into 2nd ROM tools and wiped cache there and Dalvik. The I tried to run the Omega install - got part way through the screens and it hung. I gave it some time but ended up using the power button, then back into primary tools and Restore from my Nandroid.

Anything I did wrong or should I just try it again?
