I must admit I do it often. With so many ROMs out there is like being a kid in a candy store. my 8gb sd card is maxing out with nandroid backups! arghh!!!
You have ORD then
Deffo ORD. A hopeless case sadly, beyond saving.
You could try going into recovery to see if that helps*
*That was a test. If you reached for your phone and booted into CWM then there is NO helping you. If you took 'Recovery' to mean a support group then there may be some hope yet!
It's called ORD.
Welcome to, the dark side.
MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
nah this is absolutely normal ... the reason i change roms every week is the fact every single one has one or two bugs in it that make my normal lifestyle and well being completely impossible ...
Can anyone mention, which rom has the best battery life and speed ??

Just as a word of advice...avoid asking that. You'll most likely either get chewed out or get the same answer every time....you'll know what that answer is right away. Not trying to get on your case, just a fair warning.
-If ignorance is bliss why aren't you smiling?-
Yeah I find myself doing that. I've already done it four times today. What I don't like is all the times I have to reinstall all my apps. :/
It annoys me too the way I lose unread texts while I'm flashing a new ROM.
I also have some weird strange thing, where when I change ROM's it'll resend all the texts I've sent that day. I quite like annoying people when I do that tbh.

If you get the paid version of titanium backup up you can run batch operations.
And I flash so many times a day I lose count, all ways feel like I need to be running the latest and greatest.

No cant say i do but certainly for the first 6 months or so when i joined this forum i used to be a bit of a ROM flashing addict, been using Sergio Coredroid now since January and that's the longest ive gone without flashing anything else.
i am a flashoholic...everyday i log in just to check if a new rom is out...the longest i've gone without a flash is 4 days...today is the 4th day
Only if I see improvement, I don't care about homes and colors, ill do that on my own

Hello everyone, first post I'm an android noob, I love gadgets and cell phones, but am not computer savvy. I am almost ready to flash my first ROM onto my captivate, which is currently running android 2.1 update 1, OCLF v2.2+ Donate Version, autokiller, autostarts, and has touchwiz and Launcher Pro Plus (launcher pro is the default skin), but before I flash to a new ROM, I want to make sure I'm doing everything right to minimize the possibility of bricking my captivate. I think that is all the relevant information but let me know if there is anything else I should mention... I LOVE LOVE LOVE my captivate and I'm a teacher with more debt than income so I would really be quite sad if it bricks.
OK here's the rundown!
Clockwork Recovery
I don't really understand the different versions of Clockwork Recovery, but I know that I have *some* form/version of it on my captivate. I rooted using RyanZA's OCLF (MAJOR props to him; his app made me me fall in love with my phone/android in general) which I *think* made me get Clockwork Recovery, or maybe it was busybox. About a month ago I downloaded Titanium Backup, which I also *think* made me download Clockwork Recovery. Then I deleted TB about an hour later because at the time I didn't have any use for it (although I guess perhaps now I should get it back). Most recently I downloaded the "pro" or "full" or something version of ROM Manager (what a great app, I'm surprised something so essential isn't already part of android. I forked out the 5 bucks because, like RyanZA, the dev deserves the props if you can afford it, but nothing other than "free stuff" appears in the "download ROM" section, which sounded super convenient, and was supposed to come with the paid version... anyone know why this might be?), and I know for sure that I installed/downloaded/? Clockwork onto my phone through the ROM manager because I just did it like two days ago. --> OK I Just went into ROM Manager to look at it again and it says "current recovery: Clockwork Mod 2.5.1.2"
Anyway the reason I'm asking about this is because I remember reading a couple of different articles that said something like "make sure you have the right version of clockwork before you flash to a new ROM or you will brick your phone and you will never be happy and nobody will ever love you." However I might be thinking about busybox? which brings me to:
Busybox
To be honest I never even really understood what exactly busybox is but I think I read somewhere that, like clockwork, it said something like "make sure you have the right version of clockwork before you flash to a new ROM or you will brick your phone." I do not know if I have it on my phone or not, much less what version.
OCLF v2.2 Donate
So I am going to undo the lagfix, but not undo the root that came with the OCLF app that came with the app because I need it to stay rooted. Is this a problem? I switched the scheduler back to "cfq" because that was what it used to be, but I used "deadline" before I started planning the ROM flash. Fun fact: I have no clue what any of that means, but boy did it make things speedy
Which ROM?
I know this has been asked before and I know it comes down to preference, but given the information about the current state of my phone, is there a particular ROM that you would suggest? If that doesn't make sense, what I mean to say is, does anyone know if, for example, people who have at any point used a lag fix are predisposed to bricking their phone during a flash, or if people who run Clockwork Recovery can't use ROM x?
The biggest things that concern me are 1. stability 2. that the ROM is still supported 3. froyo 4. easy sync/integration with everything google (mail, maps, calendar, etc). I like a clean, elegant look and feel, but I imagine I can skin whatever ROM to my liking. I am leaning towards Cognition, simply because I seem to read that one the most often.
Thank you for any help, it is greatly appreciated
Any other advice out there or links to good guides would be great too
oh hey sorry one more thing, as long as I'm asking noob questions: I know that live wallpapers drain battery but I love the earth one with a black background, looks so damn good. Anyway does it drain the battery CONSTANTLY as long as it's the wallpaper or only when you're on the home screens and can actually see it?
thanks again guys!

ClockworkMod comes to you via Rom Manager. The reason you don't see the list of downloadable roms is.... they ain't none for that list. There are a few Roms, but they are not subscribed (or whatever) to that service. You gotta get 'em here from their respective threads in xda.

Make sure you can do the 3 button thing to get into recovery or download modes. As far as I know that's the only way you can really 'brick" your phone. Some cappy's can't do any 3 button combos from power off. This is bad as you can't get out of the loop into recovery. DesignGears has a post about this, with a fix if you have this issue. Find it, Read it, Know it. And stuff.
Get the androidSDK and learn about abd. Sometimes this can get you out of trouble when nothing else can. There are tons of references to it in xda and google will get you a ton of reading material. Beyond a single post in scope to explain that one. Here's a start: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html
Familiarize yourself with Odin and Odin One-Click. Not sure where to point you there as I found my info slogging through the cognition beast...err... thread. Pretty sure you can find a couple threads by DesignGears in development that will get you the programs and get you started.

Damn it's a good thing you said that. I just tried it to make sure that I could go into recovery mode... I always assumed that I could...
I seem to be one of those people that can't go into recovery mode using the three button press method. What's worse is that I have a mac so I (think) I can't use odin either.
Does this mean I can't fix my phone is it soft bricks while flashing? I can't take that risk...

Dang. That sucks. Did you look for DesignGears thread on the 3 button issue? There's another one another guy posted but I don't remember who.
No Odin is bad yeah, if you soft brick. You can look at Heimdale (link to it on the Cognition DL page here). But it sounds fairly complicated. Might be fun just to figure it out and seein' as you're on mac it may be your only option. No idea where to send you to learn how to use it tho, just know that it can be used on a Mac.
Good luck to ya!

Thanks for pointing that out! It's WAY beyond my modest computer knowledge (I was using Terminal and typing in Unix commands, I'm sure it was all totally amateur, but I felt like such a computer bad-ass ), but now I actually have an option, where before I had none! Thanks!!
My phone is stuck in safe mode and I tried reflashing, battery pull etc && I cant get it out of safe mode, Really annoying,
Someone HELP ! Please
When you say safe mode what do you mean???? You will get a lot of help from here if you give a little more detail. As in what were you trying to do?? What rom were you trying to flash or kernel?? Are your rooted or were you trying to root??? What recovery were you using or trying to use etc.

Like.Its.Cool.I.Understand.AWAH
^^ Safe mode is accessed by holding the MENU button while booting up. I've used it once when I modified the mms.apk, keyboard and a couple other things and was getting a ton of FC's - I needed to pull some info off of a couple texts phone before I wiped (since I never do nandroids )
A reboot is all that was needed to get out of it for me though...
[assuming you're rooted]
If you have any recent nandroids OP, wipe and then restore them. If you don't have any nands, flash a completely different rom.
EX) if running AOSP -> flash NFX sense.
If neither of those work run the RUU and re-root

You may actually have a hardware issue then. I would try pulling the battery and battery cover and letting the whole thing air out a bit, it may be something as simple as your menu button sticking. Once that's done, put the battery back in and try to boot up, if it boots, great, if not, perhaps run the sprint ruu and start over.

is this any different than R2's latest build in terms of smoothness, speed, or improvements?
when you say Cam doesnt work, does that mean at all or just some features of the Cam? This is the only thing stopping me from trying this Rom. Been dying to get my hands on an ICS port for our Inc's. Thank you so much for this, great job!
Hmmm, I flashed it, erased data and dalvik cache, nothing at the incredible screen, did it again, same thing?
Not to be rude or anything, but I haven't even been able to get passed the welcome screen due to reboots. I've had six in a row after the language screen. This has been the case with my phone on any of the current ICS roms. It will eventually get passed it, but still randomly reboot all over the place.
Agenda Calendar Widget
After installing this ROM, GAPPS, and a couple of apps I got a few soft reboots, but it now seems stable. So don't give up on this right away. Reboot and few times and it should get better. GPS, wifi, sound all seem to be working well.
It did start with language as Afrikaans, but I managed to find my way through the menus and switch to English.
I don't think any camera app will function. Something to do with the lib files needing updating. I don't think anyone has that figured out yet for ics-dinc.
Does anyone have an agenda style calendar widget that works with this or any ics-dinc ROM? Seems that smooth calendar is not ready for ics yet.
People stuck at the welcome screen probably didnt do a full wipe, including system wipe and boot. Exciting, can't wait to try.

Why would I or anyone not do a full wipe? I understand there are some people that are that noob, but really? I've tried ICS over ten times now and have had the same results with each iteration. I've had many reboots from just typing in my email address. This is not an issue of wiping.

Both work about the same. Though I had fewer fc's using Inc decks, but that doesn't really mean anything as they are both pre-alpha.
Make sure you guys understand what you're doing with this build, as in, if it won't boot or you boot loop or get stuck, the problem is what YOU are doing, and not the rom.
First of all, if you haven't checked the Md5 sum then you're really wasting your time and shooting blind. It HAS to match EXACTLY.
Second, follow the dev's instructions exactly as they wrote them. That means wipe and format the areas listed, and install the proper files in the proper order. So if he says to install the rom first, don't reboot yet, then install gapps, then reboot, then do it in that order.
Third, pay attention to what your phone is doing during the installation, ensuring you get all the messages you're expecting.
Fourth, be PATIENT. Consider what it is your phone is doing the very first time you boot up after installation: building and loading, compiling and accessing files and db's for the FIRST time. Let your phone do it's job and give it some time before you go munching on the sammich.
And finally, be cool. Don't come in here on an Alpha pre release thread and stink up the joint. (say "*****, be cool") If you can't seem to get it to take, then try a different method. Download the rom on a computer and transfer it to your phone, see if you get a different md5. Flash the rom zip, then flash it again right away before anything else. You make it through the setup screen, reboot the mofo and let it gain some proficiency.
One more thing, all the time and effort these guys put in to get these out is free of charge. Keep that vibe going however you can.
Much love my friends

I thought that by rooting and putting a new ROM on my phone that it'd help out my problems of it rebooting randomly and having a non responsive internet 50% of the time but it hasn't. Anyone else having these problems with their Thrills? About to go back to the iPhone even though i really don't want to
I have occasional reboots, but not often. I know mine is more tinkering with my kernel.
i only had mine reboot once only cuz i killed gta3 the rong way and it crashed
yeah mine does it any time that it has to think about something... i go to post something on facebook and about half the time it freezes and then reboots. I think i've pulled the battery out a couple dozen times this last week because of it just stopping on me

True multitasking has been built into Android (similar to Linux, which it is based) from day one. Here to say it, but that would be a longshot. Best bet would be to become more scrupulous on what apps you download and more critical of the makers when their programs go rogue. Plus turning background data off in settings can help. Fyi.
Note: I don't want you to feel as if I'm being overly critical or a douche here, just realistic with what we have and what we are dealing with.

I hear ya, I know its wishful thinking. I just wish android was as efficient as iOS. Android having Backgrounding from the start was a big perk, but I gotta hand to apple for seeing how inefficient it was and hold off until they found a better solution. Android needs to grab the bull by the horns and convert to that solution.

Background data allows you to receive emails and your apps to update periodically while your not using your phone. This is the basis of 99% of your notifications. It's kinda the point of having a smart phone in the first place.

hello everyone, I installed Trickdroid 6 a few days ago and noticed that it created a new folder - "/sdcard/0". Inside "/sdcard" there is the default Android system files.... but inside "/sdcard/0" there are the same system files... It seems as though after installing the new Trickdroid ROM, it boots/runs on "sdcard/0" instead of just "sdcard" as it did before I installed the ROM. I've ran several tests, including Quadrant and Linpack and everything seems to be running perfectly normal. I'm only wondering if this is OK, or did I do something wrong? I've even lost ROOT access afterwards, but managed to get it back doing a whole bunch of stuff. I want to delete the "0" folder and boot the ROM off of the regular "/sdcard" folder if it's possible. If I can't, it's no big deal. I was just wondering. Thanks in advance!

hello everyone, I installed Trickdroid 6 a few days ago and noticed that it created a new folder - "/sdcard/0". Inside "/sdcard" there is the default Android system files.... but inside "/sdcard/0" there are the same system files...

/sdcard/0 is now the default location for your files in 4.2.2 due do 4.2.2 having multi account support so you should move all your files into that directory.
ohhh thanks man. I had a feeling it had to do with 4.2.2 base, but I needed confirmation. Thanks a billion!
It's so funny seeing people deals with issue normal Nexus users have known about for nearly a year...shows people don't read up on Android advances a lot...

True, I'm just saying we had to deal with all this last year when 4.2 dropped. Had everyone taken an interest in from the beginning it wouldn't be so much of a surprise now!
BTW, that post above is quite something! I mean, WOW...

Take your waffle back to the Nexus Forum.
No one deserves to lose their data.

They do if they're too lazy to take an interest in Android as a whole. Isn't that why we're all here in the first place? Our love of all things Android? I go to all forums on here and contribute and look to increase my knowledge by reading articles and taking in things people say - not just dive head first into something I have no idea about and then cry about it once I've screwed up
As for waffle, that's your opinion. I'll be here permanently in a month or so once I get my One
