Hi,
It's probably many people who have been asking the same thing, sorry if it's already a thread out there.
But I'm totally new to this. I now want to root my phone and use a custom ROM and maybe a other kernal too, whatever kernal is for
Which ROM is the best out there? And I have no idea of how to root my phone and install a custom ROM, maybe some advices?
Thanks.
/Sorry if I don't have the best english
If you want to root your phone and you're on Froyo (Android 2.2) use this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953182
If you're on Gingerbread (Android 2.3) , you can use this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327599
You can flash custom ROMs by installing them in ClockworkMod Recovery mode. This is a special menu which allows you to flash custom ROMs and kernels and make backups of your rom.
You can enter recovery mode with either:
1. ROM Manager, select reboot into recovery.
2. While phone is on, press power button and then select reboot and then recovery. (Basically the same as 1)
3. While phone is off, boot with holding the power button and volume down button until the second lg logo with the blueish background appears.
Flashing: (In recovery mode)
1. Make a backup (Titanium Backup or NANDroid)
2. Wipe Everything
Wipe data/factory reset (this won't erase your root)
Wipe cache
Go to advanced and wipe Dalvik cache.
Wipe Battery Stats
3. Go to install zip from sdcard. (you have to put the rom you wish to install on the sd card)
4. Again install zip from sdcard (install Google apps, can be found in the CyanogenMod wiki) (same way as installing rom)
5. (optional) install zip from sd card and flash kernel. (same way as installing rom)
6. Done, reboot phone.
The best rom is just a matter of taste actually. It just depends on what you want, some prefer CyanogenMod and others just want an improved stock rom. So all you gotta do is read and make up your own mind. Also when you flash a kernel you have to make sure that the kernel in question is compatible with your rom, because there are many kernels in the dev section and they all work either with stock-based ROMs (Horsepower Kernel) or custom ROMs (Ironkernel, Vadonkas KANG kernel).
My opinion is to use the combination:
Temaseks CM KANG:

Nvm, I misread it It was in the recovery mode.
I got a problem now, I have installed the custom RM and kernel, but the problem now is that I can't connect the phone to the computer via USB to put files in my phone. Do I need some new drivers or something?
Edit: When I try to use the camera it just wsays that I need to use my SD card. It might be something else that wrong, just with the SD card?
Edit2: it seems that I can only get acces to the SD card from the computer by the recovery mode?
try to shut down the device and boot instead of rebooting(if you did that) some sdcards have problems with a reboot and do not get recognized.

Are u talking about the internal sd or a external sd? For use the internal sd (the data partition of the device's memory) there is an option in the settings. I don't remember now I'm using a Miui based rom. For the usb connection u must have the driver of the device, u can take it in the lg web site

I actually meant the internal, cuz I don't have a external card. Where can I find that setting? It's so many settings so I get confuesed when I try to look for other settings All program that seems to need the internal SD card seems to say it, the camera, ROM manager and other apps.
And I have a sall problem with spotify, it won't start at all. Is this normal with this ROM?
i have a question, if lets say i flashed cyanogen mod 7.1 stable on my lg optimus 2x and i want to flash, for example temasek kang cyanogen mod, can i just download the .zip files and copy it over to the phone and flash. is there such thing as downgrading in android like in symbian, im also a newbie, also another question, the rom files or .zip in clockworkmod on internal storage, can they be deleted after flashing the files on the phone

1. Yep, just copy it to your phone, boot into recovery and install zip from sd card.
2. Downgrading is possible, make sure to wipe.
3. After flashing you can safely remove the zip file from your phone
thx for the quick reply, could you elaborate more on the part of downgrading, does that mean i cant just simply flash another rom
also on the first page you recommended CM7.2 Temasek KANG rom and Vadonkas KANG kernel, how do you install that, do i just flash the cm 7.2 temasek kang rom, or do i have to flash the kernel, and which one comes first
also what is the kernel for, as i noticed when i flashed cyanogen mod 7.1 stable, the kernel was automatically changed

Downgrading
You flash the rom you want over the one you have right now, just wipe everything. (you can always restore it later with a backup) For example when you have a CM KANG an you want to go back to a nightly just flash it over the KANG.
First you flash the KANG rom and then you flash the kernel. If you do it the other way around you erase the kernel flash because as you know every rom comes with a standard kernel. (More information, look at my first post in this thread)
The main goal of flashing a custom kernel is increasing the performance and have the ability to overclock and to undervolt. The standard kernel which comes with CM stable doesn't allow you to overclock your CPU to for example 1.5Ghz. Standard kernel only clocks to 1Ghz.
Simple question: If I root my phone when it's on "stock' (i.e. as it comes out the box when it turns up soon), and then upgrade to the LG Official latest release via their website.. will I have to root the phone again?

1:
Google "SuperOneClick" - http://shortfuse.org/?page_id=2.
Set your phone to "development mode", or whatever it is in english, under your program settings and plug it into your PC with the program running.
It should be as simple as clicking "Root" with the newest version of the program.
2:
Download "Rom Manager" from the market and install "ClockWorkMod" through that program.
3 - preparation:
- Turn off your phone and hold down the "Volume Down" button + the "Power" button untill you see the LG logo shift into, what resembles a loading screen.
- In ClockWorkMod, you navigate up and down with the volume buttons and the power button selects an option.
- Go to "Backup and Restore" and back up your system. This is a so-called Nandroid backup.
- plug your P990 into your PC and copy that backup file. It's most likely on your external SD-Card.
_____________________________________________
- Find a suitable ROM, I use this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421425
At the bottom of the fist post, you can find download links.
The Google Apps: http://www.mediafire.com/temasek#5xfvkc2nlfk5v
You need that file to install the marketplace. It'll be called something in the vein of "gapps-gb-20111214-237-signed".
The ROM itself: http://www.mediafire.com/temasek#3edh9d36u710w
The file will have a name in the vein of "cm7kang-O2x-P204-38"
_____________________________________________
4:
Now that you have your ROM/Google Apps (GAAPS) and a backup file, you're ready to get started.
Copy the ROM and GAAPS ZIP files to your SD-card. Then turn it off and enter ClockWorkMod by way of "Volume Down/Power" buttons.
5:
Back in ClockWorkMod, navigate to "install zip from sdcard" ---> "choose zip from sdcard/choose zip from internal sd card" and make sure you can find your files before proceeding.
6:
- Assuming everything is ok, choose "wipe data/factory reset" in the main menu of ClockWorkMod.
-Once done, choose "install zip from sdcard" and install your ROM.
-repeat the process for the Google Apps file.
Once done, choose "wipe cache partition" in the main menu along with "wipe dalvik cache" under the "advanced" option.
After that, choose to turn off the phone and turn it on to boot your new ROM for the first time.
Prepare to troubleshoot a bunch, you're probably used to a bunch of stuff that are'nt to be taken for granted
Feel free to ask me questions and criticism is welcome, considering this is just a short guide; and my rooting experiences started this saturday.

Hello,
I'm not gonna panic, as I think Ive not bricked my phone YET.
Here is what I have done, I have a GALAXY S I9000.
Have been using it for quite some time now. 2 years ago, I have flashed it with - hardcore's kernel with the ClockworkMod Recovery - using Odin.
Today I decided to give Cyanogenmod a go, followed the steps here. - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide
Since I have the hardoce's kernel, I skipped this Installing the ClockworkMod Recovery - and moved on to - Flashing CyanogenMod.
I will go step by step from here.
Download the latest version of CyanogenMod.
Optional: Download the Google Apps for the device.
Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the internal memory.
Optional: Place the Google Apps .zip on the root of the internal memory also.
Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.
Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side volume buttons to move around, and either the power button or the trackball to select.
Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
Select Install zip from sdcard.
done these, no problem so far.
[*]Select Choose zip from sdcard.
when I chose this, phone rebooted, it was so fast something may have come up and I didnt see.
Now I am stuck in a boot loop:
- Galaxy S I9000 samsung screen comes up, goes away for a second, comes up again.
- A page with code appearing from the bottom comes up really fast ( logo in the middle changes quickly) then it disappears.
- whole thing starts again.
UPDATE: I got a picture of the fast screen that comes up. : http://localhostr.com/files/b5NzFRy/2012-08-27 05.07.32.jpg
Some observations.
- I can go into download mode when opening it with the key combo.
- loop only stops when I unplug the battery
I need advice on what caused this and how to fix this, please help me.

are you not able to get into recovery? If only download than you need to get back to GB and than do a progressive update from GB to ICS to JB
Flash it again. From what I've heard, it only flashes the kernel the first time.
I had the same problem today with CM7 today. Just reboot in recovery and flash again cm zip, form there on everything is gonna run smooth!

1) DON'T WORRY !
2) Unplug the battery when bootlooping
3) Put the SGS in Recovery Mode (the CWM's version has changed)
4) Select the CM .zip and flash it AGAIN
5) When it's done, reboot system
This time, everything shoot be OK
Just be carefull with your IMEI (always have a backup of EFS folder !)

Same here, after the Samsung and CM logos, and splash animation, it says :
"Encryption unsuccessful.
Encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result, the data on your phone is no longer accessible.
To resume using your phone, you must perform a factory reset...."
After I tap Reset phone, it goes to CWM recovery.
Do the factory reset and the same thing occured in loop.
I came from JVU and CF root.

I have a rooted 2.2 Captivate with Clockwork mod version 2.5.1.2 installed. Rom manger acts as though everything is working but when I go to reboot into CWM recovery I get the stock 3e. I go to reinstall packages. I end up with "E:failed to verify whole-file signature" "E:signature varification failed" My intentions were to follow the instructions I found on Android Authority.
they are:
1. Copy the Devil RC3 kernel and the CyanogenMod 10 V2 ROM files to your Captivate’s internal SD Card.
2. Turn off your Captivate.
3. Boot into Recovery Mode. You can do this by pressing and holding down the Volume Up, Volume Down, and Power buttons. When the screen turns on, let go of all three buttons.
*I'm stuck at this point because it won't load CWM
4. In recovery, use the Volume keys to navigate and the Power button to select.

I have a question. Do I need to flash the Devil RC3 kernel or should I just install the CyanogenMod 10 V2 rom from zip? Or should I flash the speedmod kernel on odin, then from CWM install the Devil RC3 kerenel, Then install CyanogenMod 10 V2. I just wondered if the two kerenels would conflict or if I would even need Devil RC3?

First of all you're getting a little ahead of yourself in trying to get to CM10 from where you are. Being on 2.2 you will need to get to a gingerbread ROM first as the bootloaders are different and will cause issues trying to go to CM10 if you don't go to gingerbread first.
The following link will take you to some one-click utilities that will update you to gingerbread along with the needed bootloaders. Also I suggest picking one from the list that says it has a CWM kernel injected so that you can save a step after the flash and have a CWM recovery kernel already installed.
Once you've used the one-click you shouldn't need to flash either of the kernels you've mentioned you should technically be able to just flash the CM10 and be good. Although when it comes to flashing the CM10 I suggest you go to the creaters thread or site and follow their exact directions for installing!

Dual Boot for P990 & SU660 on Both Bootloaders
Now with more and more new ROMs being released every day and only one phone (at least for most of us) to try them all, I think this was needed.
It is based on the method Bihariel found on a Chinese forum and his latest v2 version for the old bootloader and my previous version 3 for the new one.
It is now modified to work on both bootloaders and Partition layouts. Read change log for details.
Thanks to:
SuperSkill personally, for digging it up from the grave and giving me the vote of confidence to port dual boot into the new bootloader. He is also the 1st after me, who tested it. (thank you again my friend)
KingMGT personally, for helping me make the necessary modifications for SU660 and of course for testing it since I don’t own a SU660. (thank you again my friend)
Bihariel of course, for his great work on which I based the new version (and for copying a lot of text from his thread)
ChinaGB, the creator of the System changer app and the original idea.
What is this useful for?
Devs: you can have one ROM configured and ready for use in one partition and a second partition to test your ROMs without touching your daily ROM, so you won/t need to wipe or backup anything.
Users: you can have a stable ROM, let’s say a stock ROM with everything working and configured and you can have a second partition to test ROMs (for example a custom stock based one or a CM10 beta) so you won't need to do backups and wipes.
How Dual Boot works?
Dual-Enabler.zip: this file enables Dual boot by splitting system partition into two.
Dual-ROM-1-to-XX.zip: this file have to be flashed after flashing ROM 1, after flashing it and boot the phone, you will find an app called system changer, by launching this app and selecting Switch ROM, the phone will reboot and start the ROM 2.
Dual-ROM-2-to-XX.zip: this file have to be flashed after flashing ROM 2, after flashing it and boot the phone, you will find an app called system changer, by launching this app and selecting Switch ROM, the phone will reboot and start the ROM 1.
What ROMs can I use?
P990 Devices:
You can use theoretically, any combination of ROMs for dual booting, working on the same Bootloader of course.
SU660 Devices:
On OLD layout you can use theoretically, any combination of ROMs for dual booting, working on this Bootloader of course.
On ICS layout, due to lack of any custom ROMs for SU660, the p990 layout and bootloader is used so only custom CM, PA & MIUI ROMs are compatible, working on this Bootloader of course.
Attention !! The only ROMs you should not use are Auto-wipe ROMs because they will delete your data partition and with it ROM1 and ROM2 save files. Of course if you are an advanced user, you can open the wipe rom and modify the updater-script to remove the auto wipe lines.
Download from here the package for your device and follow the instructions in post #2.
For older versions follow the instructions included in package.
Change Log:
v5.0 Date 05 Feb 2013
DualBoot-Control.zip. All five zips used till now for enabling/maintaining Dual-Boot have been replaced by this aroma-style flash-able zip.
SU660 package now supports also the su660 ics bootloader & layout.
V4.6 Date 30 Jan 2013
512MB-512MB system partitions for both bootloaders,
Reduced data (to 2000MB) for old-bootloader (because a 2048MB one cannot be formatted on old bootloader)
Bug-fix for dual-boot remover (SystemChanger app wasn't removed).
V4.5 Date 22 Jan 2013
Now it auto enters recovery after repartitioning. No need to keep pressing Vol- & Pwr.
Linux nvflash binary added. (I had forgotten to include it in package, sorry.)
Minor changes in flash.sh (for linux).
V4 Date 20 Jan 2013
It now works on both bootloaders. During repartition with nvflash you have the option to select which one
In old bootloader the system partition is splitted in 370MB for ROM1 and 512MB for ROM2 (in case someone wants to install tonyp's & harsh's full ICS version for old bootloader).
Same simple procedure to enable and maintain dual-boot.
Common flash-able zips because they detect current bootloader and partition layout and act accordingly.
Re-compiled SystemChanger app to display more correct messages and also in which ROM you are switching to.
V3 Date 12 Jan 2013
System partition size is 512 MB for each ROM.
Data partition is still shared but with the max size of 2GB.
Included latest cwm recovery 6.0.2.5 by pengus77. It works for all available ROMs for new BL (DM X, FLEX-ICER & unofficial CM10 CM10.1 ones)
NewBL-Dual-Enabler’s scripts are modified not only for the new layout but now also check and format (if needed) the internal SD (the first time after NVFlash is always needed). It also returns to recovery automatically to let you install or restore the 1st ROM.
NewBL-Dual-ROM-1-to-XX.zip & NewBL-Dual-ROM-2-to-XX.zip no longer need to be updated with the boot images of the ROMs.
SystemChanger app’s scripts, before switching to the other ROM, check if current ROM is changed (by md5 checksum of its build.prop as before) and saves the boot.img for next switch.
noshare file, containing the data folders list, is now also saved under /data/dual-boot. This way it will be always accessible and updatable if needed, no matter which ROM is running.
Boot images and md5 checksums are also saved under /data/dual-boot.
Two more flash-able zips added:
Wipe-ROM-data.zip This will wipe the data of the current ROM. Useful for changing ROM or if required by ROM’s chef
Remove-DualBoot.zip This will wipe the data of the other ROM and will also remove the SystemChanger app and scripts from the current ROM. Useful if you want to make a clean nandroid backup, to restore after a repartition to normal layout.
For V2 change log see bihariel's thread
Here is the guide to get Real Dual boot on both BLs.
Please read carefully because this may mess up your phone if you don't know what you are doing.
Oh!! I forgot, this phone is unbrickable, so give it a try.
Installation Instructions
Extract the downloaded package with WinRAR or similar to any folder.
Copy ROM1, ROM2 and the DualBoot-Control.zip to external SD.
Go to the folder DualBoot-Partition-resizer and run flash.bat (or flash.sh for linux) follow on-screen instructions select BootLoader and wait until NVFlash process finishes and the screen goes black.
Disconnect the USB cable, put the battery back and just power on the phone it will enter into recovery automatically. (It takes about 40 secs to enter recovery 1st time after NVFlash)
Install DualBoot-Control.zip and select Enable Dual Boot option. The phone will reboot (if supported by recovery) and enter in recovery again (if not select reboot recovery from recovery).
Make a full wipe just in case to avoid boot-loops and format /system because it may not be formatted by ROM’s updater-script (mounts and storage --> format /system)
Now flash ROM1 (or restore a nandroid backup of ROM1) and without rebooting install DualBoot-Control.zip, select ROM1 update and reboot when it finishes.
When the phone completely boots, you will find an app called SystemChanger, launch it and click Switch ROM, it will ask you for root rights, click yes, the phone will reboot quickly, press and hold Pwr button + vol down when the screen goes black to enter recovery, if the phone doesn't go to recovery, remove the battery, plug it again and enter recovery.
Format /system (the 2nd system now), because it may not be formatted by ROM’s updater-script.
Now flash ROM2 and without rebooting install DualBoot-Control.zip, select ROM2 update and reboot when it finishes. (Attention: do not restore a backup of ROM2 because it will wipe data files of ROM1)
And that is all, if you want to switch to ROM1, as before, run SystemChanger and click Switch ROM.
Note for those having experienced the older version 2: No need to add boot images in Dual-ROM zips any more.
How to change/update a ROM or Kernel
You have to be on the ROM you want to change/update.
Enter Recovery
If you are changing the ROM or kernel and/or a wipe is needed, install the DualBoot-Control.zip and select Wipe current ROM data.
Flash the ROM or kernel and before reboot install the DualBoot-Control.zip and select ROM1 update if you flashed ROM1 or ROM2 update if you flashed ROM2.
Info: There is also the wipe-rom-x-data.sh in /data/dual-boot/ which can be used to delete the non-running Rom’s data. You can also run this from terminal or adb shell to clean the data of the non-running Rom quickly. For example if you are on ROM1 and you want to change the ROM2 run the script, switch to ROM2 but when screen goes black press pwr & vol- to enter recovery.
How to disable Dual Boot
You have to be on the ROM you want to keep.
Enter Recovery
Install the DualBoot-Control.zip and select Remove Dual Boot. This will wipe the data of the other ROM and will also remove the SystemChanger app and scripts. Useful if you want to make a clean nandroid backup, to restore after a repartitioning to normal layout with AIO-Toolkit.
Enjoy it !!
Wow......one thing i ws missing on NEW BL......thank you so much....now can hold onto this phone for 1more year....
This is just Aweosme <3 will give a try for sure ! LG O2X still the Crazy phone will try today eveng and comment back again ! can i try CM10.1 & V30B (Roms available) ???
Kudooos 4 ur post
This is what i need, i often flash rom 1 to another and restore my app and setting manualy... with this i would keep my daily rom and other for testing
thanks good job
Spyrosk, again, CONGRATULATIONS, this is another great product useful for all of us. To drop the bomb; i think you should add this in AIO, it would be natural if possible. Ive tested this during the weekend, its more easy than the previous gb version. Huge thanks for doing this spyrosk and also huge thanks to Bihariel who did the gb version, you have my deepest respect
Let me give you another challenge lol
It should be possible to.......no no, I must shut up now.
Thanks mate
Nice ! Trying soon... :fingers-crossed:

Thank you too again.
No, don't give me another challenge now. :laugh:
I am thinking on making a v3 version for old bootloader too, or even better a v4 hybrid one for both bootloaders. So I do have work for now.
Yes I could integrate that into AIO-toolkit eventually in an "Addvanced Options" menu , but let's see how it is working, when more users will try it and "cure" any "baby sicknesses" that may come up first.
I can't thank you enough for your testing it so thoroughly.
I really appreciate it.
i don't really understand how this dual boot work
but, can i use my internal sd card for booting stock-based custom rom and using my external one for booting CM10 based rom?

I don't know if this will be ever possible or if it's worth trying it.
The only thing that can be done at the moment, is having one 370MB & one 512MB system partitions on the upcoming gb dual-boot version for installing the tonyp's and harsh's full ics 28g version as 2nd ROM on old bootloader.
I installed yesterday dual boot on my 2X and worked fine without any problems!
Great tool Spyrosk!!
You have done our life easier!!!
Thank you for dual boot
is indeed something very special!!!
It works beautifully for me,

How about flashing the second rom that have aroma installer??
Hi all,
First I must point out I'm a bit of a noob at this flashing kernels/roms etc. I want to install Jelly Bean Mini Project | Android 4.1.2 on my xperia x8.
I rooted it ages ago with superoneclick. I got the rom here in the download section of this post and got the kernel here. Not sure how to proceed do i unzip the rom folder called "X8_JBMP-Release4"? I need a tutorial on what programs to use etc. step by step would be handy. I did look did look am continuing to look. Thanks in advance and sorry.
first of all you have installed nAa's jb kernel right?
---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------
if not, download Flashtool from here
then do the following steps
1. go here and find the "Flashing custom kernel" step
2. Flash the kernel, beforehand, be sure to have the proper drivers installed, go to the flashtool directory, drivers, execute the .exe file then choose drivers for x8, fastboot and flashmode
3. You are ready to flash a kernel, just follow the instructions on the thread I pointed out to you
4. No need to unzip the ROM file as it is a flashable zip, after flashing the kernel power up your device and click the back button a couple of times
5. You are now in the CWM recovery, go to mounts and storage and select: format /system, /data, /cache and then back to the CWM main menu, select Wipe data/factory reset, Wipe cache partition, and to the advanced option, wipe dalvik cache
6. Now you have just performed a full wipe, go to install zip from sd card, find the ROM zip file you just downloaded and install it
7. Then install the GAPPS needed to work with JBMP
8. Reboot and Enjoy

titanium backup is good. :thumbup: you can also enter cwm and make a backup there. otherwise, follow mass's instructions. don't forget to format system cache data in cwm after flashing kernel and before flashing rom. have fun with jb. :thumbup:

one more noob question
I was wondering about unlocking this phone from the network it is on. Should I get the code and do it first of will I still be able to do it if I wish after the upgrade. Sorry for the noob questions. Thanks for all the other help I have an idea of what to do now.
Sucess!!
Thanks a million guys got it up and running jellybean. First flash of kernel was just sticking on CWM recovery screen no buttons working. flashed back to a stock 2.1 (rom not my original one) and flashed the new kernel again and all went fine. Thank you so much for all this help and thanks to the folks who worked in the release of jellybean. I just need to figure out how to store apps on sd card. time for research.
Option to move apps to sd card is Greyed out in settings/apps section. Any ideas how i might get my apps to move to sd card?
U can odex to get more space..find it in android development, made by TeamMex..

Looking around on web it seems apps cant be moved after 4.0. Don't know why google did that it was one of the features I most wanted. I guess I could go to something earlier but I like jelly bean :crying:

try a clean flash. i'm on 4.1 and i cam move apps fine. though i don't use the native app2sd.
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.
Will a reflash do it? do I need to flash back to a stock rom first? Or is there something I need to do to let a2sd work like give it a partition somehow?

just format system cache amd data after a full wipe (wipe cache amd dalvik too) and reflash rom.
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.
Thanks for the reply. I will try it in a couple of days as I'm busy with work and will post back here with the result.
moving apps
I booted into CWM recovery and used the advanced section to create a 1gb partition left swap size setting at 0 and that fixed the issue. I guess if I wasnt a noob I would have made a partition on the card in the beginning. Apps can now be moved except those that dont allow movement but I am using link2sd for those. Its cool to see jellybean on this phone. I get quite a few hangs/crashes using the browser, bluetooth earpiece connects fine but I cant hear calls on it and the countdown timer is erratic closing by itself quite often. Maybe there are some settings I need to tweak to get the best performance? Thanks again for all the help and replies by the way.

This is My Daily Driver. I have been Chewing on a SD Swap to correct the way Moto chose our default storage since I unlocked the phone 6 months ago. These are the base roms I use. Thank You Mhous33. Think a Custom Rom is where to be? I never found one as reliable as stock. Enjoy.
Stock bases:
1)Deodexed 98.30.1 (it is not debloated).

2)DST Odexed 98.30.1 (debloated & fast fast fast) More details.

There is no need for unlocked users to take the ota, this will do the same thing, if you follow my steps.

1) Wipe dalvik cache, & cache
2) Reboot recovery
3) Mount system
4) Install Rom (from mhous33 above)
Option1) Flash My PP Mod NOTE: this one must come before the next option.
Option2) Flash sd swap update (attachments) & say no to "disable recovery flash"
5) reboot

Always use TWRP 2.6+ OR Philz v6.
Always choose any NO when rebooting from Philz.

Because install-recovery.sh is now an agent in the initd setup & needs to be protected.
Notification Toggles is a great substitute for an extended power menu.
I attached my backup to make setup easier. Goes in (with the sd swap working) storage0/android/data/de.j4velin.notificationToggle/files.
Set toggle per line to 6.

I am testing this perfomance mod & so far it is amazing. There is some lag on SD access right after bootup....
This Audio mod too.
SafeStrap version: see next post.
NOTE: Not for cm based, multuser, or anything but 4.1.2 stock roms!
Be sure to try Xposed Framework http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 when done!
Note: the dst is recommeded over the bloated deodexed as now with odexed being xposed compatible & faster.
SafeStrap compatible rom Version 2 is in attachments. Full bloat versions sans the SD swap. Follow the instructions below & if you want the SD swap just flash the Unlocked version over it before you reboot- follow the same fundamental steps as in the previous post- rom slot OR stock slot.
Added a SS version of Mhous33's debloated odexed rom.
Has the same features as the unlocked version, but better because the cautions about killing the SD swap do not apply to the SS version.
You may have forced closes & wifi problems if you try either version without being on ...94 beforhand as the kernel is newer- beware.
See Attachments for Rom link
Here are instructions from the creator of SafeStrap. Please understand what you are doing before moving on.
Hashcode on SafeStrap :http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/
Proceed if you are on stock 98.18.94 or 98.30.1 & have a current backup of your stock slot.
Obligatory warning: UpDating to 98.18.94 or 98.30.1 WILL PREVENT A BOOTLOADER UNLOCK IF YOU FLASH IT TO A LOCKED PHONE.
You can install to rom slots but not to the stock slot.
Here is where you venturesome people need to test if you do try flash 98.30.1, while you are on 98.16.1, that it does work ok. Try everything out before you try to put it on your stock slot. Be warned.
I have been on the ...78 kernel with mous33's DST & have no issues. I speculate that the slight change in kernel #s is for some bloat apps.
Update running on stock slot may cause lags. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50432621&postcount=57
Try on just a rom slot first but there will be no access to internal SD. So be sure to save what you want to the external SD first!
1) Create a ROM slot
2a) Mount system & install My ROM to the same ROM slot
2b) Optional: Restore current data (uncheck system) from your stock slot backup & wipe cache & dalvik cache
2c) Optional flash SD swap update here
3) Bootup the ROM
IF this works for you it is fine as you could delete all of the internal SD from your stock slot. This is the goal anyway & you have less confusion with only your external SD.
Take a more than a moment to read this unique thread on what it means to "write over your stock slot" & at the bottom of page 1 Rik Rong: "That should work," about getting your stock slot back again.
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/11600-installing-custom-rom-to-stock-using-ss-312/
These steps will overwrite your stock slot and allow the full SD swap. BE SURE YOU ARE SATISFIED WITH IT BEFORE PROCEEDING.
Also note in this approach the data/apps you want to move to the NEW rom are to come from your stock slot. If you want the opposite WIP

No, your stickys are great and I am attempting to install on slot one. Clean rom and bare bones work, but the other deox roms fail at attempting to install.
Installed this today... so far so good!
Anyone using arrghhh's kernel, or keeping stock?
Should i be concerned about it NOT displaying the "Warning, boot loader unlocked" screen ?
That should be specific to whether or not you've changed your boot logo. What is appearing in place of the warning now?

just the regular moto logo after flashing this rom. I used TWRP 2.6 came from beanstalk followed directions to T.. root and everything seems to work fine.
So seems no issue. I can still get into recovery. Just worried me because I always saw that "Warning" logo no matter what rom i had on since unlock....
Works good for me. Love the sd swap part. No need to worry about space or hassle of moving apps.
But is there a way to enable tethering without the use of third party app ( i am not on verizon ) ?
Does this rom have the moto smart actions still in it?
