Why flash ROMS?

After getting a new hero and using my nandroid from old phone it occurred to me, why not distribute a working backup rather than a rom to flash.
This may not be the best way but if a dev flashed their rom, skipped sign in, made sure everything was functional, then made a backup and distributed that, wouldnt that cut down on people getting mixed results post flash?

Two top reasons, why ROM vs. Nandroid backups...
1. Recovery dependency
2. Customization

1. Specify recovery used or make multiple backups per recovery.
2. Backup would contain basic rom, leaving customization to be done after restore.
After flashing rom, gapps, black market, I always backup then start making changes incase I delete something I'm not supposed to.
Example: lets say I flash my rom and gapps. I start my phone, skip sign in, begun fumbling through menus making sure I get no FCs, etc. Check too see if GPS is working, sms/mms, youtube, camera, etc. At this point everything works and I make a backup. My assumption is that if someone else uses that backup, everything will work for them as well. (google was never linked due to skipping sign in).
Not trying to prove you wrong, just expressing my thoughts until they themselves are proven incorrect.

Both of you guys are Right in a way, and I kind of had a little Idea from Reading all the Posts!
What if a Developer/User "Whoever" was to Upload a Nand Backup But with a John Doe Google Account Just for Nand Purposes, "Basically for Anyone who wants to Download it"
I Read *SO MANY* Posts where Users Have a Hell of a Time Trying to get certain Roms Installed...
So now let's use me for Instance, Say I was having a Issue with Installing a ROM where it just Wouldn't Work for whatever Reason. Actually lets say I was a Noob with Some or Little to Any Experience and Instead as a Alternative I Used John Doe's Nand Backup just to get it Booted!!
Here's the Catch...
From there Meaning once it Boots, and Correct me if I'm Wrong! Wouldn't I be Able to just Pull the Battery and Do a Full Wipe....
Data/Cache/DalvikCache and Reboot back to the Same ROM Minus the John Doe?
Meaning Now I'd be able to Start the ROM Fresh and Replace the Temporary John Doe Account with My Own Email.gmail.com/Password, Then from there have the Option to Create Another Backup with My Own Customizations!
Remember like I said, Although I Usually I Don't have any Issues during a ROM Install, But Realistically That Doesn't mean Everyones is as Fortunate, So this Might, Could be a Alternative for Whoevers Willing to Try it!!
If Anything I Said, Better Yet more or less Suggested is Wrong... Please Correct Me, But the Above is Based on the Best of my Knowledge!
Good Luck!!

ok so using a John Doe account wont work. Once you sign in, that account can only be removed by reset.
Ok so lets just get these out there for people to try out.
Below is a download link to 2 nandroid backups.
The two recoverys used were CW 2.5.0.7 and RA-Recovery-1.6.2.
Download here.
MegaUpload
DO NOT FLASH ZIP!!!
Unzip file, inside your should find two folders. Use the correct file for your recovery.
As always, Nandroid backup first.
Perform a full wipe.
Restore downloaded backup. (In RA-Recovery, if you get a error message, go Here to see instructions on how to restore using adb.)
Reboot
(Click Market to sign in.)
Test away!!
Once booted you should be running aospCMod, dark horse theme, black market, blue and black facebook, black MIUI Music, LauncherPro (themed widgets if you have unlock code), Black Youtube.
Apps you will NOT see in drawer are camera, gallery, file manager, dev tools. And prob some others, cant remember atm.
Thank you in advance for helping me test this out.

A similiar method is used on certain phones. The dev can make a nand or copy system and data into .img or .tar files. The recovery then unpacks the images into the correct directory.

I'm using this thread as the testing method. Once we confirm the advantages of it and that it works well, I will start threads in dev and theme forums. Not sure if I will need permission from creaters of the roms to do so but I will look into that. Eventually I'd like to have a few people helping to get most roms on there and help keep them updated.
So for now do the testing and report back on the results. Also try the CW backup on earlier and later versions of CW.

Vulkano works on Corwins tweaked CM7

Ok, I posted this on several threads but thought it was worthy of its own thread. I have tried everything to get my Vulkano working on my g tablet but it has never worked. I decided to try Corwins tweaked CM7 and the Vulkano works!!! Nice!! Maybe it works on all CM7's? I just happened to install Corwins version.
Sent from my GTablet using Tapatalk

OK even though I really like Calkulin's ROM, I'm willing to give this a try. I need to access my Vulkano.
Thanks

1.5.083 is the version that's working. It buffers for maybe 15-20 seconds and plays. It's a nice ROM as well. Not as snappy as a Calkulins (but what is?) But not bad.
Sent from my GTablet using Tapatalk

I'm in the process of installing the new ROM right now. I'll let you know how it goes in a few.
Boy, I really like Calk's ROM.....lol.

I used Calkulins format all before the Corwins and then installed gapps right afterwards and reboot. I was surprised to see the whole market as well. I ran this Rom yesterday for about 30 minutes and went back to Calkulins. I really liked the layout though and decided to give it a second chance. I'm glad I did! I've rebooted maybe 5 times now and its performing much better.
Sent from my GTablet using Tapatalk

Gapps didn't install so I have no market and can't get to my titanium backup. Wow this ROM is a lot slower than calk's
Man this is so totally different from the other ROMs I've used. I can't get to root to install gapps so I can have a market.

Well it's back to calkulins ROM. I couldn't get to the market to install any apps...not even the web would let me download.

Google "Cyanogen Gapps" and go to their wiki sight to download the gapps file.Same thing for me yesterday. I restored back to Calkulins and downloaded the gapps and put it in my roms folder. I highly recommend Calkulins format all it keeps everything clean. Install the rom and gapps right afterwards,then reboot. The rom seems really slow and unresponsive at first. I rebooted several times and let everything settle down. Running pretty nice now. Good luck!
Sent from my GTablet using Tapatalk

How do you install the rom and then gapps? Don't they both have to be named update.zip?

Go find the gapps file, Google like above. It is a separate zip file. install the Rom and then go back and select zip again and flash the gapps file then reboot. Neither rom is named update zip. Corwins whatever whatever.zip and gapps.zip
Sent from my GTablet using Tapatalk

I have the gapps file. But you just lost me when you said go back and find the zip again. How? In CWM it only asks for update zip. I usually put the update zip in my root. Where would I put the gapps and what would I label it as?
I appreciate the help you've been giving me.

Instead of choosing update.zip choose select zip from sdcard. Find corwins zip select and install. Go back (useback button) and select the gapps file and install. Reboot. Put the gapps file somewhere you can find it in cwm. I have a file named "roms" where I move all my files to.

If you have trouble just restore and go read some more. Lots of great info on this forum that is much more concise than my explanation!!

Sent from my GTablet using Tapatalk

Thanks for all your help. I got the rom up and running. Vulkano however, still won't play. It's been stuck at buffereing for the last 5 minutes.

Try rebooting a few times and see if that helps. I had rebooted 5 or 6 times before i tried the vulkano. Also is it the latest version of the Vulkano app?
Sent from my GTablet using Tapatalk

Yes it's the latest version from the market. I'll reboot a few times.

It didn't work after several reboots. also, when I USB to my computer, I cannot access anything but a few folders on sdcard 2. I can't even access my roms folders. I tried to change the kernel, but CWM couldn't find it. All in all, this ROM has too many quirks for me. I'm going back to Calkulins.

Weird.I don't know why it would work for me.oh well, you gave it a good try!!! Ill be curious to see if anyone else can get it running. Take care

Yes, I hope it works for somebody else. I'm glad it's working for you. Thanks for all your help!

BootManager FAQ & Discussion

I figured we needed a thread to discuss the BootManager app.
First, big thumbs up to GFlam & Conap for this app! I used Conap's CELEB CM Roms on the Eris for a long time.
Now:
They have a User Manual on their site.
What does it do? You keep your rom on the phone, and you can add up to 4 more on your SD card. You use the app's menu to select which one you want to boot into next.
What is it? it is an apk you can get from the market. It lives on your phone. It doesn't mess with Clockwork and such.
What's the catch? There is something you have to pay attention to...It requires a connection to the market to verify it's authenticity. So, whenever you add a new rom, you need to connect it to the market...the trick: you need to flash gapps right after you flash a rom before you boot into it.
What If I forgot to flash gapps?!? No big deal. If you boot into a rom you installed that doesn't have the market, the BootManager app won't work, so you can't use it to boot back into another rom. They have a solution - boot into recovery and flash the "update.zip" located in the bootmanager>phonerom folder on your sd. Then your phone will reboot into your internal phone rom.
What's the catch, part 2? Some roms have custom scripts that run when they boot, so they don't play well, especially when installed on the SD card.
What else do I need to know? Rom installs take longer. After installing, the roms on the sd card do not lag. You can back up the roms that you install through the app.
This is a dream for people who want to play with nightlies or try a bunch of roms, but need their old-reliable come Monday morning. Check it out!
There is more discussion on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189459
Disclaimer: I have no affliliation with Init 2 Win It. I just love this app.

I'll start with a question, too. I put BAMF3.0 rc 4.9 in an SD slot. When I boot in, everything works except Titanium Backup can't find root. Anyone else have this problem?

Interesting. I'm having a similar problem with MyBackup Pro. The app would request SU permission but then it never acknowledged that it had it. I also had BAMF 3.0 Rc 4.9 running off SD

I haven't tried the MIUI yet. It might be another with a custom boot script.
You could try to install it as the internal phoneROM and see if it works. If it doesn't you'll need to restore a nand backup.

ok so maybe someone can help me. im trying to flash CM7 and i flashed it and forgot to flash the GAPPS thing before a reboot. i got back into my original rom and im ready to try it again. i have CM& ready to flash, but how do i flash GAPPS before the reboot? do i do the flash of GAPPS from within bootmanager, rom manager, or hboot? thanks!

Flash gapps through bootmanager just like the rom, in the same slot. Dont wipe anything.

That's why I'm here.

disappointed that the synergy nightlies flashed to a slot put me in a boot loop. but was excited that all i had to do to fix it was flash the update.zip under bootmanager/phone

Maybe I'm missing something but where can I find the gapps zip/ every time I try to boot from the app, its telling me either no Rom installed or no image found

I installed all 3 versions of the recently leaked GB ROM using bootmanager and interesting NONE of them will boot up. Best I can tell from adb logcat is that the ROM does a memory test and the wrong memory type is returned causing a boot loop at that point.
Smells like a bit of copy protection testing going on.

A lot of the Sense roms fail. I have Monolith running fine.

Hey there, just wondering of anyone else is having the problem of Sd card space going into limbo if the ROM install doesn't go well (i'm talking the install or back up glitches and doesn't finish, not it actually finishing and getting a boot loop. I've tried wiping cache/dalvik cache, all the cleaning functions within the app. Deleting the slots and wiping the slots didn't work either. Like I said it seems to be in limbo, and don't feel like moving all my data off my card and reformatting every time this occurs. Any ideas?

Hey guys,
I love this app. I also had some problems but now I have Gingeritis as my phoneRom and switch between SHIFTS3NS3 and BAMF which are all gb roms.
The trick I found was that if it doesn't load the first time keep trying, it took me about two tries to load SHIFTS3NS3 and about 3 for bamf. Make sure you use ext2.
Also make sure your phone stays awake.
If you have an issue email the Devs they responded to me with in 10 min of the email.
Great app

Not sure where it is but there was a fast boot zip of launcher apk. If you boot your phone into fast boot and cwm copy the zip to the phone and then flash the zip to your Zio it should resolve the issue

openZIO Rom issue
Hi, I just installed the openZIO 2.1.2 ROM. Everything worked fine, but after rebooting and going through the initial set up (i.e. the google user setup blahblah) the VTL Launcher continually force closes and I can't do anything but go back and recover my original boot.img has anyone else had this kind of issue? Any possible fixes? Any help would be appreciated, I know not to many people are in using the Zio forums anymore... but yeah.. Thanks in advance

Try Reflashing again
Sent from my LG-P509 using xda premium

I've actually already done that, and it's still doing the same thing. I've deleted and re-downloaded the ROM, and re-flashed it to my phone, and still having the same issue. VTL Launcher just continually force closes, and it sucks cause I've been waiting months to get to install the ROM cause I couldn't afford a new USB cord. I've read so much on this ROM and everything for the Zio and was excited to actually be able to overclock my phone, and get some pretty good performance boosts out of it. Now I got one, and can't get it to work.. what a sad day

Could you explain your steps when flashing?
Sent from my LG-P509 using xda premium

well I first move the .zip to the sd, then power down and boot up CWM, and "install from SD card" and once it's finished flashing, I reboot the phone. when it comes back up my kyocera logo comes back up and it takes me through the first-boot programming (google sign-in) and once I input my un/pw and sign in, it tells me that VTL had an error and must hit force close. and once I hit force close it continues to come up saying the same thing over and over again. so I rebooted my phone, still the same thing. SO I go back through and flash it back to my original boot.img. I have gone through and completely deleted the openZIO 2.1.2.zip file and re-downloaded it, and gone through the same steps to see if maybe it was just a bad file somehow. But to no avail, still having the same issues.

After you boot into cwm : wipe cache partition, then go into mounts and storage, format: system, data, cache :then go into advanced and wipe dalvick cache.
Now flash rom

Ok just went through with what you had mentioned, and still getting the same results. "Sorry! The application VTL.Launcher (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. with the only option to force close. As soon as I force close, the same message pops up

Have you tryed flashing my rom?
I would try that, and see what happens.

I can't flash it yet because my computer is in the repair shop and I never do anything risky with my phones unless my computer is nearby

Well Im very new at modding Droid X, but I have an important question...
Is the hdmi fully working?
Or is there any rom which make it work as it should?
I mean something like a mirror.
Thanks!

Downloading Now. I just hope it's for the rooted .621 Non-Milestone hack. The Milestone hack (for root) is .604.

Update:
First I tried it without gapps. Everything booted fine, but there was no market nor would accounts/ sync let me add Google account.
So, I rebooted into recovery, which worked fine, and flashed gapps.
This time on boot, I actually got the Droid X welcome screen, was able to put in Google info, and market initiator ran and updated.
After that everything worked fine.
Tested Bluetooth, Messages, Gps and Calls. Didn't get chance to try Wifi yet, but I'm sure it works since everything-else does.
The only thing that Would be better is an updated Superuser. The 1 included will NOT update SU Binary. I think it's the old edify binary. Even by updating Superuser in the market WON'T help. Although an easy fix is to get RootUninstaller and uninstall Rom Superuser, then download new 1 from the market and install.
Keep up the hard work. Nice Rom.

Finally, does this works for any other gb kernel besides .621?
Anybody please tell us!

Nope, but maybe yes

Nope, but I may have a bad download as I forgot to check the Md5 sum before I flashed. Install was aborted. I can't try again right now because I have another phone to flash and have to go to bed early tonight.

And thank your for the review I've been waiting for a review like that I've created a couple roms and no one has have gave me so much input

No prob Kiladar. I think if someone is going to comment on someones work, they should at least review it and be as informative as possible. It makes it easier
on the devs to look at potential probs/fixes too.
Oh yea, I also got to looking into your system/app folder in your zip. The vending.apk is Not in there, which i would say is why I had to flash the gapps. Just wanted you to know.
Also there is no "boot.img" (which is kernel right?) in the new dwnload.

Right, I will update OP saying to flash gapps rather then say not needed

wifi works just fine with it, and I agree bout the updated superuser since you cant uninstall the one you have with it which means you also cant update to the new superuser because they are different volumes but over all nice ROM.:good:

I had it working on mine but my .605 was the .621/.605 deodexed hacked version cause I was on the .621 before I did the work around on the magic 5 route, originally I did the .604 work around but it should work on the .605 stock rooted, but then again I was also running the kernel for the .621 sooooo if the kernel is the key for running it maybe you cant.
Try another download, maybe you did get a bad DL

I tried this again but, I think the real problem is with my microSD card. I have subsequently tried to flash other roms and have had other aborts as well. I know that the md5's on those checked out. I was able to flash a cm9 based rom and got it set up just fine. All this from the same card on the same phone. Sooo I am attempting to format the card just in case I have bad sectors or something.
Luckily my DX is no longer activated and just keeps me from killing my SGS3 with flashes.:silly:

I hear ya, I had the same prob with sd card so i formatted mine as well, problem was still there though. whenever i tried to install a rom from sd card via rom manager the problem was i kept getting the message saying waiting for sd cart to mount then it would say error bla bla bla sending log file to cwm ect ect ect.... i dont know exactally how i fixed that, all i know is i installed another rom, like cm7 or cm9 for instance and after that whenever i went to back up rom it worked fine ever since.... maybe something flashes over correcting the sd card problem when you install a rom... I know rom manager checks to verify the marker on sd card and thats what your problem is I believe.
Try doing this, try installing a rom cm7/cm9 without making a backup (i know you could lose everything if it fails but its the only way i know that fixed mine) after you have installed cm7/9 go to rom manager and hit the Backup Current Rom it should reboot you to cwm recovery and make an auto backup, if it does this without throwing up the waiting for sd card to mount error stuff and it runs the backup program and then reboots you it should fix your sd card problems.....

Review this rom
this is by far a ROM with the least lag by far i tried liquid ICS and plenty others don't know what it is but the lag is really minimal runs really smooth i only have this for like 3 hours but will update soon
pls hit thanks if i helped
