I have successfully rooted my Evo today and I have successfully backup my phone with nandroid and then successfully backed up my stock rom. I have now downloaded VaelPak-v2.2-HTC11-3.29.651.5.zip and I am lost from here. I have unzipped the folder but do not know how to get it installed on my Evo. Any assistance will be helpful! Thanks

Put the zip on the root of your SD card..boot into recovery...flash the rom...reboot...enjoy.
Detailed sequence is generally in the OP for the rom...
Do not unzip the file!
Place zip file on the root of the SD card and flash in recovery.
Issmer beat me to it!
Just an FYI.. vael is not a SENSE based rom, so you will no longer have use of any HTC widgets.
when you say put it on the root on the sd card... what folder are you talking about putting the zip file into?

Root is the topmost directory - "/". When flashing a new rom, make sure to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache.

in other words dont put it into a folder
hmm so basically your saying just drag or copy the zip file to the actual drive on my computer that is represented by my evo device? and then i will reboot in recovery mode and i will see a wipe option? cache and dalvik option? thanks so much seriously

Yep. Just put the zip on the card. Go into recovery. Wipe. Flash and reboot!
ok i am going to try it right now. what about later having to unzip the zip file and dragging specific files to the sd card to get certain things to work on my new rom? i read this somewhere
This us why you should read before you root, everything thats in the zip will be installed onto the phone. There is no need to unzip unless you know what your doing. Additional apps can be downloaded from the market or installed by a file manager.
ok it was a success. i am back up and running and it really looks great. all of my apps are gone!!!!!!!!!!!

That's what the wipe does. If you flash a lot (like I do) then get Titanium Backup Pro, probably the best app I've ever bought. It'll save you a headache in the future.

No offense to the OP but this made me chuckle. It reminds me back when i would talk people through doing a windows restore. i would get this same type of response no matter how many times i told them what a restore would do and to back up files. It was always ok windows is booted ... hey all my programs and pictures are gone! ho do it get them back.

A little off topic, but this doesn't make me chuckle as much as people who reply on a new rom thread and say "this rom is great. One problem though is wifi no longer works. Nor does the camera, gps and I can't make calls. But I love the rom so far." Or even better, "I love this rom. Super smooth. One issue though, when trying to flash it I get error at line 5 and then the phone sits at the splash screen."

Here is a flashable zip file of all the AOSP sounds/ringtones/notifications (to this date). This zip was made for Clockworkmod Recovery, but might work on Amon (I haven't tested this) I requested this to use on a sense rom (MikG) Thanks Preludedrew for making this for me!!!!! Hopefully all the sense users out there that are stuck with some pretty weak tones can find this useful. And always remember to DO A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST! I am not responsible for what happens to ANYBODYS phone!!!!!!!
Just wanted to say THANX again to Preludedrew for making this zip for me!!

Can I just unzip this and place sounds on my sd card without flashing it on my phone?

Ithink you can, but it will mess with your songs and if you place .nomedia file, it would not find these files the best solution is to flash
thanks for the file to both of you

Dunno about that, I already did something like that for a different set of ringtones. I placed it in ringtones folder and it didn't show up in my song list on the music players I use.... Thanks
----------
Would be much better to have a zip of the sounds so one could pick and chose which sounds they'd like, put them on their SD card, and not have to worry about the space and flashing them all.
Just sayin.
Stock phones
I have the HTC EVO 3D...how could I get these on my phone?!
First you need to root. Revolutionary is an easy way to root. Then flash through clockworkmod recovery and reboot! EZPZ
Nice

editing the 'libnvomx.so' file from directory: system/lib, had replaced file to make netflix work, which it did, when going back I guess I left the 'libnvomx.so' file renamed 'libnvomx.so original'. rebooted tablet & now its stuck on the boot screen Android, then flashes & does it all over again. Is there anything I can do..

Download the latest Acer stock ROM to your PC (many stock roms found on this page). Transfer it to your external SD card and make sure to rename it "update.zip". Boot holding down volume and power until you see lines of text, then let it do it's thing
thanks for the info! I found a ROM on this thread.. not sure if its the latest 3.1 build.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154492
so I downloaded it to my PC.. comes as a ZIP file.. "update_3.1".. do I unzip folder & renamed it "update.zip"? or do I leave it zipped, rename it and transfer to SD card & boot up? again thanks for the help
Leave it named update.zip do not unzip
downloaded the update_3.1 file from that thread.
renamed folder "update.zip", left compressed.
transferred to external SD card on phone.
placed SD card into tablet, booted up by holding the power & volume button.
take you into SD update cmd: recovery..
its looking for the folder..
then comes on the android logo with an exclamation point!
no good..
might it be the ROM? any suggestions..

If you downloaded it from the first link, the file needs to be decrypted first. I believe the second link on that page from megaupload is already decrypted. But that would be where the problem is.
And yes that is the latest build from Acer for the US!
I'm not sure what you mean.. consider me a noob at this.. never installed a ROM before.. encrypted or decrypted.. what would be what I need? couldn't find that second link you mentioned..

Right on! You know you can use clockwork mod to backup your system so it doesn't happen again.
You should use one of these versions, since your in the US.
4.010.07_COM_GEN2
4.010.08_COM_GEN2
4.010.11_COM_GEN2
4.010.13_COM_GEN2 (latest, not sure if it's posted anywhere yet)
The .40 version is not a US build.
interesting.. not sure what the difference is but can someone please post up 4.010.13_COM_GEN 2 & a how-to-install!

4.010.13 isn't a full rom like the one posted, merely an update.it can be obtained by simply checking for an update in "about device" in settings
Need some help here:
I need to delete some of the backups I made with CWM recovery. I already have them backed up onto my PC, but need to delete them to make some room. For some reason I cant.
Ive tried root explorer, es file explorer, and my PC. Im unable to change the permissions of the files, and if you look at the pics I attached youll see they have some strange permissions, but I cant change them.
I am able to move the files anywhere else in the sd card folder, rename them, but no matter what I cant delete them. And when I try from my PC it shows them disappear, but they are actually still there.
If there is a way to format the sd card folder I will, but thats not an option in the settings, or CWM. Can someone please help me out here? This is really frustrating me. Thanks

Same, tried with multiple apps too.
I posted this in the other thread, but figured I would do so here in case other people needed the "fix".
Ok, so some good news and some bad news.
The good news is, I was able to put together a flashable zip that WILL DELETE the entire CWM backup directory from the sdcard. It is available here:
http://core.routed.com/CWM_Backup_Wipe.zip
You simply need to flash it via CWM. Easy peasy. I confirmed that the directory/files were all removed, AND the storage space is now available for other files (I checked df before and after).
The bad news is, before attempting to delete the directory, I first tried changing the permissions (recursively) to see if that was a better "fix" for this problem. Unfortunately, even with the directory 777 and the files 666, I still could not manually delete them through the system. Which means, whatever bug is causing this problem is much more severe than a file/directory permission thing.
In any case, until the CWM developer can figure out a way to fix this bug, at least we have a way to manually remove the backups and get our storage space back.
The script in the zip is very simple. It just does a recursive delete on /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup.
Enjoy!

Just saying thanks for this, I hope they figure a fix out soon. Flash worked perfectly, for some storage space back. :good:
Getting ready to do the Clean ROM flash and I have a few questions:
1. The instructions say to Copy ROM to storage. When I navigate to my phone hooked to my PC, I can't find the "storage" folder. Any help with this step would be appreciated
2. How do I boot into recovery?
I have twrp installed and phone's rooted. Just need to know the button config. to go into recovery to follow the installation steps. TY

LOL! Sorry I had too. Someone needs there Coffee You copy the rom to your phones storage like where your pictures,Music, and stuff are at. They didnt say anything about a storage folder.
and 2. Download an app called reboot recovery in the market place
You should be cautious when flashing anything if you were looking for a "Storage" folder.

LOL I know, I feel like a total noob for even asking. I have to have instructions literally step for step or else I lose confidence and don't follow through. I'm coming from an SGS2 that I rooted and messed with for the 1st month and never flashed anything since, so I'm pretty much starting over with this ROM stuff. Thanks for the help though!
EDIT: I'm gonna ask another noob question: Do I copy just the img file or the META & System folders too?

Dude! Never be afraid to ask (but if the answers are on the website and you didn't do a proper search, expect flame on!). :laugh:
Anyway, assuming you are on AT&T, you should have downloaded a file called CleanROM-1.1.zip . If you didn't get that one, go here http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=464 and download it. Check the MD5 to ensure the file is not corrupt. Do not unzip the file! Just transfer the file onto your phone - it doesn't really matter where, just remember where you put it. Then reboot into recovery (assuming you have already installed TWRP) using whatever app you like (I prefer GooManager), click Install, navigate to the rom you just put on your phone and you're good to go.
Good luck!

Thanks yea I did get teh 1.1 ROM and twrp is installed already. I just didn't want to go any further until I for sure understood the process. This feels alot easier then when I was working on the sgs2 and Odin. That and it's been at least 2 years since I've done anything like this lol. Thanks for the help, it looks like it's flashing now!
