Ok so this is my first post here, and I'm sort of a noob so I'm sorry if these questions are too noobish...
First, I rooted my HTC hero last night, but I tried to install the rom (fresh 2.3.3) before wiping so I got stuck in this perpetual loop of the startup screen, had to wait until the phone ran out of battery and then did a wipe of data/ext and rebooted. Everything worked fine from there, and it seems to be working normally, BUT I'm wondering if this means everything installed correctly, or if I should just go through the process again.
Second, when I connect my phone to the computer I notice that I have the .zip of the image still in my phone's root. Can I delete this or is it necessary for the phone's function?
Third, are there any other roms people would suggest? I like vanilla android (not a sense fan), and I heard of a rom called Darchdroid. I was wondering how this stacks up to fresh 2.3.3...I'm looking for the smoothest experience possible (not a fan of the minor lag that happens in fresh)
And fourth, if I decide I want to get rid of Fresh and try a new rom, what is the procedure for wiping my phone clean and installing the new rom? (sorta noobish I know...)

a bit noobish myself, but I think I can answer a bit regardless, anyone feel free to correct me...
1: if everything is working, great! if you dont feel comfortable, and dont mind resetting everything up, go ahead, do it again, cant hurt. whenever reflashing/new flashing, Dont Forget to make a nandroid and wipe! (and you can rename the backups in USB disk mode so you know which ones are what, otherwise go by the embedded date in the autogen'd title. in the nandroid folder on your SD card btw)
2: as far as I know, leave it?
3: HUGE fan of Darchs work, cant go wrong... keep in mind it does not have VisVoicemail in it, fix flash needed.
4: reboot into recovery, make a nadroid backup, WIPE!, flash the new one according to cookers intructions! done! (if ya dont like it, buggy, nandroid restore back to your last good one you did like!)
well I reinstalled the rom and wiped first...and everything is running way smoother than last time. I don't know what in the world happened or what was going on but I'll take it as it is
a few weeks back i got an update from t-mobile i think it was 2.2.1. i was running a custom rom by evil, I think it was sense. it never fully installed as it came up with a black scrren with a exclamation mark and a little android guy. every time i go into recovery now, i get the same thing. this also converted the phone back to stock rom.
im sorry, but i am a newbie when it comes to flashing new recovery images. do you think this is what needs to be done? i had clockworkmod's on there before, had a buddy do it for me.. and he didnt explain to me how to fix install it lol. i do install roms etc.
any way i should go with this?
You guessed right, you need to reflash the recovery, and possibly re-root before that.
You can follow the guides in Wiki, found in my signature.
did it, having a problem installing roms now :| gonna post in that roms thread.
Having forced my phone to take JPY from Keis, using the registry hack, occasionally after turning off my phone, on the next restart, the phone vibrates at various points, with warnings that several different apps have had problems and have to close, and after this some apps just wont run when started manually either. If I remove the apps and reinstall, I still get the same problem. The only way I can get back to normality is to go into recovery and restore to factory settings and start my install again. Does anyone know why this is happening? My phone is rooted. I have tried fix permissions from Rom manager, but this has not helped.Its happened about 3 times now, Most times restarting has been fine.
I would like to try and install clock work mod so that I can at least backup, so if this happens again, I'm covered for the majority of the reinstall, but The Rom manager Clockwork recovery does not install on this rom ( so I believe, it does not appear anyway)
Does any one know if I am OK to install the Clockwork mod from here, that has been linked to in some of the custom rom threads, and if not, how can I get clockwork on my phone? If I do install clockwork, does this mean I can no longer install new roms with Keis?

I wasn't sure if to put this thread in the general section or development for a best response. Sorry If I have picked the wrong area, but thought it was people from the Dev section that would more understand what I need to do
Thanks
you have kinda almost the same problem as this guy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937938 (his reinstalling helped though)
yeah thanks, doesnt quite sound the same, I never got a black screen. Always boots, but reports various apps have problems and closes them down.
Well still I do think something is not right with the either JPY or the HW. Cuz it started few days/weeks ago. I was for 2 months a happy user. Then it was sudden with those FC... Factory Reset etc
Something about a conspiracy theory:
I kinda suspect that there was either a google apps update or samsung one, the kind that you dont see , like when it updates the market. And it messed something up .

have you enabled adaptive light or brightness in settings/display? If yes try to disable it and then you can adjust the brightness.
For me 2G is working, 3G and LTE I cannot test at the moment, because not available in my home area.

Which Kernel
Hello Everybody,
I read about this Rom and it sounds really cool. I am excited to try. However, this will be the first time I will flash my S3 LTE (I have flashed other devices before). So, I dont want to brick my S3 LTE. I was confused about the Kernel. Do I need a costum kernel? There are some for Android 5.1. I am running right now a stock Android 4.4.4 rom on my device. Can i just install the Rom following the tutorial on the first page or is there something special about that?
Thank you very much for helping me,
greetings
Marc
It seems my Bluetooth is not working after flashed this rom, full wiped. The phone could not find any bluetooth device and could not be found as well.

As long as you have rooted your phone, you can just follow the steps in the OP. The kernel is installed in the rom .zip package. You can install a custom kernel over the stock one if you want to experiment with CPU settings and governors etc, but you won't get much help on this thread if you have issues like things not working properly.
At the moment there a couple of bugs that could be fixed by using agni until the next build however
Bluetooth
Did a clean install with version 20150610. Bluetooth seems not to work. Although turned on, not finding other devices and not be seen by other devices. Is this a bug? Bluetoth was working before the flashing when using Slimkat.

The mod is very good. One note: You can turn off the phone to ring. I will not ring deaf
Thanks and great work on the mod
I just want to thank you for the great mod.
I have waited for a pure (more or less) AOSP mod for the S3 LTE and here you are!
Sometimes I get forced close on the Android keyboard (mostly in Whatsapp) and one or two times FC of the SMS/MMS app. But nothing serious.
Keep up the good work.
TiggaZ
I tried the new release as of 22.06.2015 and it is pretty stable.
Bluetooth is working (connects to an BT headset) but I got some forced reboots while listening to music. Maybe it was because it was Macklemore, I don't know .
After a clean reboot everything seems to work fine. I will give some more feedback about the long term stability as I use this as daily driver now.
Anyone with problems mounting external sdcard? Already tried diferent cards and filesystems and they're only recognized on the recoveries...

Same issue here... Everything else is working great though, so thanks for that ROM :good:
The sd card appears to be working when plugged directly in my PC, and I tried formatting with no success when plugged back in my phone. It's also working when in recovery.
A problem with Gapps
Hi, I tried to install this ROM, but Gapps wouldn't install. (I'm using CWM recovery 6.0.4.7)
It says:
Code:
E:Error in /storage/sdcard1/pa_gapps-modular-micro-5.1-20150410-signed.zip
(Status 6)
Installation aborted.
Any help? It seemed that at least one another person in the main ROM thread was having the same problem.
I managed to install the ROM itself with CWM at the first time and it booted successfully, but without Gapps. Then I changed the recovery to TWRP, and it let me install Gapps (I did a clean reinstall of the ROM and Gapps), but then it stuck on a bootloop. Edit: More details: the loop animation, green, red, blue and yellow "Google spheres" swaying, just keep repeating indefinitely. I don't know if that's a "loop" exactly, but the device doesn't seem to boot further than that.
Installed CWM back, and tried to do a fresh install once again, only ROM, which worked last time. However, the it still bootloops.
I wonder what's wrong. I'm doing a clean install, so why can't I reproduce the successful boot I did the first time...?

Are you sure it's a bootloop? It can take a while on the first boot. A bootloop is when the phone turns itself off and on repeatedly, if it's showing the animation, just wait (10mins?).
My install of the latest version went fine using TWRP (2.8.5 IIRC).

Ah, okay, then it's not bootloop. My phone just hangs indefinitely on the boot animation screen. I have waited for 30 mins, and still nothing. The strangest thing is that I tried some other ROMs ([5.1.1][Cyanogenmod 12.1][UNOFFICIAL][11.06.2015] and [UNOFFICIAL] {UBER} SlimLP 5.1.1 {-o3}), and they always hang at boot. I tried Samsung 4.4 stock ROM just a moment ago, and it booted. But it's so old, ugly and clumsy I don't want to use it. I tried installing this F-AOSP again now that the stock ROM OS booted once at least, but still no success – it always hangs on boot.
But it hardly is a fault of F-AOSP since it seems to happen with almost every ROM. I wonder if I messed something up that simple data+cache+dalvik cache wipe will not heal.
I've had the same problem and found out it's a twrp problem with recent version. Flash stock and this twrp on Odin or heimdall before flashing Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...covery-i9305-cwm-philz-twrp-versions-t2694249

F-AOSP or Resurrection Remix which one is more smooth and have better battery performance for i9305?
BTW, in F-AOSP. Where is the option to delete screen shot in notification area?
