Flashing CWM recovery question

I have the AHD w/ 4.1.1 rooted. Other than rooting it, its stock. I haven't installed SafeStrap like everyone else and I'm going to unlock my bootloader shortly. So how should I go about flashing CWM recovery afterwards? I want to go from unlocking to flashing recovery without SafeStrap. Thanks

Easiest way is to download ROM manager and install the recovery for the photon q.

Are there any known bugs or functions not working?

Does this mean that the TWRP recovery for the Photon Q will work?
really waiting to move from safestrap to twrp.

Don't know about that. Only 1 way to find out though.

No ones forcing you to do it man. I use cwm because I know it works.

yo can you flash with the photon q cmw if so is there a special process you use?

It works like it was made for ours.

I decided to use ROM Manager and install the Photon Q cwm. Works like a charm. I did a full backup & restore of my stock rooted 4.1.1 without a hitch. Mounted /system, wiped and reset, then flashed Batakang Rises and gapps... I can't complain at all! Haven't had any FCs or anything. Battery life is much better for sure!

PAC man ROM

How long should it take to install the PAC man rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2244963 )? I followed the steps and now I have been on the "PAC is loading screen" for a long time.
Did something go wrong?

Did you wipe everything beforehand? Did you mount system? How long is a long time?
Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX

I didn't mount it I think and it has been like that for couple of hours

Well you have to mount system. So there's your problem.

its stuck on the PAC is loading screen and i have not been able to get out of it.

Hold both volume buttons and the power button.
Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX

i hold down the button, the screen goes black but when i let go it goes back to the PAC man ROM

You have to boot back into recovery after it turns off by keeping the volume buttons down.. Another case of someone trying to brick their shiny new phone by not reading directions?

thanks man! it you really helped. btw it installation instructions said from custom rom or previous version and i didnt fit into any of those categories so it was confusing

Yeah but I've seen your other questions you've asked in here and you don't really do any searching or looking before asking so there's your problem. Happy to help but try reading up a bit more so you can get things on your own. Then if you still need help ask away.

why did he have to mount system i flashed pac man twice never mounted.

I think it might depend if you are flashing from like a stock rom or from another custom rom.

I don't know how it worked for you then if you didn't mount it.
Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX

I had the same issue and then i reflashed everething and everything works great for me now

Wait... You're supposed to mount /system when flashing the PAC Rom?
:silly: I didn't do that at all for either of the PAC Roms

[Q] PACrom launcher support?

So I have PACrom installed and it comes default with Trebuchet. Trebuchet is great, I don't have any problems with it, but I'd like to try out other themes. Almost all the popular themes do not come with support for Trebuchet . So I gave Apex a go and installed MIUI v5. My question is; would there be repercussions from uninstalling Trebuchet/setting Apex as default laucher? I'm not sure if PACman would freeze or have issues, if I did that.

I use nova as my default launcher. Always have.
Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX

When you flash PACrom doesn't it automatically install Trebuchet? You've never had to manually switch?

I use an update zip for every flash so all settings and and apps are already there.

Batakang with cwm?

Is it possible to flash the Batakang Rises rom with cwm?

I actually just tried that today - it did not work.

You just have to mount system manually first.

Would manually mounting system remove the "Android is upgrading" on every bootup? That was the main reason I uninstalled Batakang in the first place.

It's still a rom built for a locked bootloader. So I doubt it. Try mounting data and system and tell me how it goes.

I'll wait for Blackest Pain to do it - I've already spent an unhealthy amount of time over the last few days tinkering with my phone :laugh:

[Q] how do we get 4.4 launcher working on phone?

Is there a way to get the 4.4 launcher working on the Atrix HD because I can't get it to work because of google search crashing. if anybody knows how to please let me know

Flash the 4.4 updater zip.
Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX

Well if your running stock jb then it's not going to work man. And running 4.4 apps isn't exactly stock.
Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX

It's for if your on a custom rom with a custom recovery.
