Thanks for this! Nice

love this!! .. would it be possible to get a shutdown animation too? cause there's one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10926995&postcount=4 but it's not compatible with cwm3, nor does it have your customizations which I love.
Thanks

Thanks for reminding me! I had originally intended to do just that, but completely spaced it. I've attached it here and updated the OP. Certain kernel limitations forced me to shorten the sequence.

shutdown works perfect! love it!! thanks!!!

why am I dumb?
I can't ever get any of these to work...I install custom ROM's and widget mod's through CWM3 all the time, and boot ani's just never seem to work. I'm running Viper ROM now. I've downloaded the .zip, boot into recovery, choose install .zip, go to the file, install it....system says, it was installed properly, reboot..same boot screen as before.
what am I missing?
UPDATE: The shutdown loaded correctly, and it's awesome....still having issues with the bootup though. harumph.

This worked, but then I started getting a bunch of FC's. Then I ran ROM Manager permissions fix and it got rid of most of the FC's except for google framework which is very important. I have no idea how this could have caused these issues. But after restoring my nandroid backup (Thank God I backed up!) everything was back to normal.

what is ROM Manager permissions fix?? and also nandroid??

When you three-finger-boot into ClockworkMod recovery there's a backup/restore and it's called nandroid backup. It works very well backing up everything on your phone system/data/settings, everything.
The custom ROM I have came with the ROM Manager apk (which is run on the phone). It has an option to fix permissions which corrects the file permissions of all of your apps and data for root access in case permissions get corrupted. Sometimes when you install a new mod/zip the file permissions either get corrupted or are not given (I'm no dev, so I don't know the specifics). If you get a lot of ForceCloses this will fix them in most cases.
I don't know exactly what happened, but I'm 99% sure it was from installing this shutdown animation and after restoring (again through CWM3) it works fine now.
Hope that helped.

I booted into CWM right after posting that and found the fix permissions option you were talking about. I had already been performing the nandroid backups, but didn't know they were called that. Thanks for the quick response!
I'm still not able to get the boot animation to work though. The power down worked, and it's pretty cool....anybody got any ideas?

Good looking out bro, This animation always stayed in my Moment as a back up cause I liked it so much.

maybe this...?
could it be because my kernel is 2.6.32.9?

That's the same kernel I'm on. Should work just fine, perhaps there is some conflict with the new ViperROM? Haven't tested it on that ROM since I first released this. I know they have lots of modifications, even to the kernel I believe.

You need to have a kernel that supports boot animation chnges. Mammon was the one who did this for 2.1, I believe he was the one who did it for 2.2 as. Well.

After booting aospCMod 2.3.2

So for the past two days I've been trying to flash the new AOSP Gingerbread ROM, but although I follow everything straight from the wiki it always seems to get stuck on the HTC screen after the last reboot. Help me please!
EDIT: So I somehow got the rom to boot last night using RA recovery but after loading up a notice says Setup Wizard not being able to respond...etc, etc. Also after booting my home, call, and search buttons don't work at all. not even for other roms. PLEASE HELP!
020211 So after following instructions from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11078749&postcount=4860 i was finally able to boot CM7 fully and without problems. If you're having problems with booting aosp's gingerbread rom just use this guy's instructions (at the bottom) and you should be good to go.

Make sure u install manually through clockworkmod mod first format boot system data and cache then install the rom let it boot then reboot and install gapps without wiping and reboot then you should be good I'm using the normal clockworkmod 2.5.2 and it works great
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA using XDA App

okay thanks! ill try that and get back to you.
so no luck at booting. i'm still stuck at the HTC Boot screen.

i tried also and still no luck .. i hate this

to anybody having problems flashing GB, try these steps EXACTLY:
1) use clockwork 2.5.0.1 and follow the wipe/format process in the wiki
2) flash the rom then gapps
3) FLASH A CAPPED 691 KERNEL
This seems to be a continued issue, and I think it is because some phones can't handle high clock speeds like 768. The recovery currently posted by aosp (cwm 3.0.0.5) is overclocked and therefore will not boot, same with the kernel in the rom. Report back here if it works, I have already updated the wiki to advise people of this. Good Luck.

So i tried it again with the capped kernel and it still didn't work. also tried it without firerat's MOD but still a no go.

I'm upgrading aosp 2.3.2 rom from nightly build #188. Before flashing aosp rom plesae try to wipe everything like data, dalvik-cache, battery and rotate status. BTW, I'm using RA-Recovery not ClockworkMod.

i installed it after the standard wipes and thats it and its working just fine at 768 on my hero200. didnt have any issues and im loving the rom, but i am having one issue. this link is to my issue in q and a. if you can help feel free to hop on my thread and reply. other than that, i juast wanted to say this rom is great!

Well, I hate to say it but you must be missing a step somewhere. FYI in the OP for gingerbread the cwm3.0.0.5 is now capped at 691, so try that one again. Wipe both wipe options, go to mounts and format boot,system,data,cache, then gn into advanced wipe dalvik twice. Flash the rom,gapps,deca #43 capped 691 kernel, reboot. The first boot should take a while so be patient. Report back here if you can't get it, and I would recommend going into the live help room (aospbot IRC) which in the OP for GB. Good luck.

So still no luck. But I'm determined to somehow fix this no matter how many times I try!

I think you should back up your sd card and then format it in your pc. Then start all over. From the recovery on down. Skip any mods till you get booted up. Like keyboards and boot screens etc. And try the capped cwm recovery. Hope it helps good luck

Still no luck on booting aospCMod. Like they say no two heroes are the same. But that doesn't mean I'm still not going to try again and again and again (xinfinity).

got it to boot but...
so i somehow got it to boot using ra-recovery but right as i loads it says the setup wizard has unexpetedly stopped processing. any help?

Glad I could help man! Glad to see you got it worked out!

There's a readme in the Aosp 2.3.2 OP. It's right under the files, labeled README. I think it would help if anyone having trouble actually reads through this. skipping steps causes problems.
also, Factory reset skips over the /system partition. I recommend wiping /system partition if you're coming from another rom, or if you are decided to start fresh. You have to go into the partitions menu to actually format the /system partition.

This is true if you use CWM (which I do not ) but if you fastboot wipe all the partitions you will have no issues w/ RA as the OP discovered once he used the instructions that I posted.

touble with vvm
uh not quite sure if this is rite place to post this but looked better than the rest, so i got the rom running fine and it is wonderful improvement to my what use to be my wifes stock hero. Only problem is with the visual voice mail, i copied it from the stock hero before flashing, than after flashing copied it back, it works in the sense that i can see the voicemail in the app and even the voicemail to text works, but 2 things are wrong, 1 is i cant clear voicemail notification in the status bar without rebooting phone, and now she gets a text from a 9069 that tells her phone has recieved a voicemail, found a work around for the second one i blocked the number using blacklist so the text dont come thru nomore, but how i can i fix the fact that the only way to clear the voicemail notification is to reboot the phone? Any help, comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Or is there somewhere i can dl the latest sprint vvm app?? or are they device specific. Thank you in advance for any help

As I recall, the latest KEXEC roms do not work on Safestrap 2.10, it requires Safestrap 3.x which hasn't been released yet. For now, I'd say grab an older version, or settle with a current GB rom for now and watch development.

Wiping before or after does not make any difference (though I always do it after flashing the ROM.) Wipe data/factory reset also wipes the cache partition, and, of course, Dalvik cache, so those two wipes are redundant. Any ROM that doesn't start after a wipe data/factory reset has a problem with the ROM, not with how many times that you wipe data.
I would frankly wait on CM9 or CM10 builds until Hashcode gets the new Safestrap working on the D3. There are plenty of ROMs that will work - Maverick, Steel Droid (the GB version is more feature-complete), Liberty, Bionic. You can find them here, but it might be easier at droidforums.net: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-3-roms/

I would try MavRom 4.0 (4.5 has a battery drain problem with the overclock script), this is what I use + GSM unlock, in safestrap do a factory reset/data wipe before and after flash (I only do it once, but it's always recommended to wipe up to three times).

I use the XT883 radio with MavROM 4.0 AND Kexec CM10, works grand except in JB, the signal indicator is broken, I use a Network Monitor widget for a good signal meter.
If you install Safestrap, enable safe-boot and reboot, it will boot a black screen, since it has no rom to boot into. After enabling safe-boot, flash a rom, Gapps, wipe data/factory reset, then reboot. Although you can also just grab SafeStrap 3.05 now, which is a lot easier to swap between roms for testing.

bro last i checked with 2.10 and i did just as you said (without enabling it would be no sense to install rom & i know that)..... but i still got the Black screen @ the time ......thou i have to test the same with the new 3.05 but i hardly think that would make a difference

Please help
Ok, I need HELP. Please be kind as I am not nearly as inteligent as the rest of you and this is my first post, but I can follow directions well (so my wife says).
I purchased a Droid 3 with black screen. Phone powers on and I can hear it going through the boot process. Lights on the bottom 4 buttons light up, computer recognizes phone when plugged in. I think someone has tried unsuccesfully to flash phone or mod it in some way causing the black screen. I have downloaded the files to restore phone to stock state. NOW my dilema..... I can't see the screen to get the phone into ap fastboot so I can do the restore. I have rooted several phones and even unbricked many phones (all with the help of those much smarter than me and their directions). So if someone could give me the very detailed steps to get phone into ap fastboot without the ability to see the screen I think I can fix it (I hope!)
Thanks in advance.

ForceROM & OUDHS are Fantastic!

I'm a newbie here, my 1st post so unable to post in the ForceROM thread. I have very little experience. On my last phone Photon 4G I only rooted so I could use the Wifi Tether app. The ForceROM is absolutely perfect for my needs, even in its 1st version. The included mods 4in1 restart menu and the Hotspot Mod are extremely useful! I have been rocking this ROM for the last 2 days without any issues! I love that it keeps the functionality of TW (I actually like TW and its notifications and menu bar with quick access to settings used everyday) and the S4 while removing all the unwanted Bloatware. I was easily able to follow the instructions given in the OUDHS thread to flash recovery via Odin then root via OUDHS recovery followed by flashing the ForceRom zip via recovery. There were only a few apps I wanted to install for which Unknownforce provided download links for all apps removed from Stock, which I was able to install via the system/apps directory. Great work here! You guys are great. Thanks!

Yeah when you flash new roms, you will most likely ALWAYS wipe Data, Cache, Delvik Cache [In this order] then flash ROM, Gapps, ect
Once I have flashed the rom I wipe data and cache again just because im used to doing that but I doubt you have to, reboot and you should be good

theres a wipe script up now, it will do everything for you and the oudhs recovery is my fav even over cwm! <3 i think cuz my fav color is grey lol and ya the forcerom is grate!

I've been using the ForceROM 1.0 for a while now and really like it too. When I first rooted the stock rom, I tried to get rid of a lot of bloat and some of it I couldn't. So I was glad to see it already done using ForceROM.
The only problem I have is the voicemail. It always says it's trying to verify my account but it never can. Anyone else having this issue?

hm no i am not having that issue at all, if you use sprint update the prl then the profile

Well this didn't seem to work. When I open the voicemail app, it sits there about 1 minute then finally gives me this error:
Communication with the Voicemail-to-Text server has timed out. We will continue to verify your Voicemail-to-Text account status in the background.
Voicemail service will not be interrupted while we verify the account status.
Also, when I check for updates in voicemail app, it errors out saying "General failure. Please try again at a later time."
Maybe I will try clearing cache and dalvik cache.

call sprint =) im not sure if u have to be subscribed to it or not

id wipe and reflash your setup ive never had a prob with the voicemail program its either something to do with your rom setup or its sprint

Does Odin "CPL1 Safe Firmware Upgrade" include the modem?

Yes, the firmware includes everything except recovery and aboot. Also a few things I forgot to mention, the switch to turn on volume up for flashlight is in the display settings and to set the apps for toolbox you just long press on the toolbox icon (when activated) and then drag it up to the edit section at the top of the screen. Sorry guys I'm terrible at writing the info and summary for these roms but hopefully I can get it figured out one day.

I understand. Please clarify for me...
I'm on pj2 unlocked/rooted. I want to stay unlocked/rooted. Do I flash the "partial".zip, or Odin the "full" ? :fingers-crossed:
When I read through hsbdr's post's, I must have 5 or six tabs open
I prefer instructions simple, and retail and Dev posts/instructions separate from each other. As well as return to "unrooted" or "keep root" posts. Many have accidentally locked their BL as a result. There is no reason to include a "return to stock-locked" link in with a custom rooted ROM post/links. Uhg
Thank you for keeping it simple for us, and all your work!

Yeah it does get a little confusing. That's the main reason I just posted my own link just to make sure I'm not linking to the wrong thing. Fun fact while testing all this out, I was able to flash pj2 roms while I was on the cpl1 firmware and everything worked. I just tested one rom but it seems like once you upgrade your firmware you may not have to downgrade again if you want to go back to another rom.

oooh really! So probably there is nothing new in the upgrade only that it's un-downgradable:silly:

The first couple times I tested a firmware that I made, I was terrified of locking my bl. I flashed the one I posted and then tested for downgrade and all is good, but it doesn't seem to be necessary to downgrade again. As far as differences between them the only thing I noticed was more security stuff and some different bloatware.

Forgive me...
So the "full firmware link" (download file name: "cpl1_tar_32bit_ext4") doesn't include the recovery and aboot files(?)

That's correct. If you flash it and let it boot you'll have your custom recovery, unlocked bootloader, no root, no busybox, cpl1 modem/kernel, and odexed system. That way if someone wants pure stock they can just flash the supersu file and your set.

She's running great for me! I installed xposed and oscar kernel and it's stable as a rock! Any chance of the additional grace apps - email, contacts, etc? Great work man!

I just tried the email zip at this post and it worked. When I get off work I'll test those others. They all should work but if you don't want to be the guinnie pig I can do it.
So oscar works? I thought it might need an update but that's good to know.

Yes, Oscar 13 works great. I'll give the grace apps a try - thanks again!

For some reason after flashing grace email, I see high battery usage for email 19-30%. Tried clearing data but still see the drain. Am I missing something?

Honestly, I only use that app when testing it and I haven't noticed any battery drain, but I can't say I've ever checked either. I wonder if it just needs to settle in. Maybe someone that uses it more can chime in to see if it's an issue for everyone. If you want to, see if after a while it goes back to normal range and if it doesn't try to get a log and we can see what we can come up with.

Hello @kevintm78. Need a little help. I just odin'd the full firmware and now my phone won't boot. I get unfortunately System UI has stopped. I was on CPJ1 before I did this. Should I just try to restore a backup? Thanks

If Odin completed it should have at least updated your firmware. If that's the case you could just go ahead and flash the rom. All the files from the full firmware get overwritten anyway. Just make sure you do a complete wipe (everything but your sd/Ext sd) and you should be good to go.

Thank you. Yes I just restored a backup just fine and it's also showing my baseband is now CPL1. Now I'm going to flash your rom so I can have stock whenever I want it. Thank you for your time and help. And for the upgrade.

@kevintm78...thank you for this. I had lost 4g somewhere in all my flashing. I tried reflashing partial firmware and even restoring backups wouldnt give me 4g again.I was getting ready to go through the entire lock, unlock, root process again when I found this thread. I downloaded the full firmware in the op, flashed with flashfire, rebooted into recovery, wiped dalvik, data, cache, and rebooted system. I now have 4g back. I made a nandroid of stock, and then clean flashed LOS and still have 4g. So thankful to you!!

Yeah man, I'm a bit of a flashaholic too and was having the same issues a while back when experimenting with data fixes and thought that I fried my sim card. Like you I tried the partial first but the only thing that got my 4g back was flashing a full stock firmware. :good:
