Im having some problems and i knew you guys would be perfect. Any help would be great! ok so my wife has a mytouch 4g and it comes preloaded with so much crap on it, she got fed up one day and asked me to "do my stuff to it." Meaning... root and rom it. so i rooted and flashed a sense 4.0 rom (cant remember the name) but found out the camera doesnt work. then decided to flash paranoidandroid rom. great rom but now her phone randomly turns off (always at inconvenient times). battery became garbage. will be full then half then dead within minutes. decided to factory reset. no change. unrooted and put it competely back to stock. still no change. shes gets pissed off and i hear about it everytime it turns off. so maybe you guys can save my life. any idea why its doing this and/or what i can do to fix this? thanks in advance!

Try rerooting and installing a different, stable ROM. Currently, I'm using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629962 as a daily driver with the frosted cherry kernel. Again, please post this in Q&A, not in development. Hope everything goes well.

Make sure you do a FULL wipe before flashing a ROM.

so what makes ext4 better than cwm? Id prefer a touch based recovery. particularly on my phone (samsung vibrant)

What are the differences between 4ext free and paid edition?

Both are touch screen, I just prefer the added options in 4EXT. But clockwork mod is good also. Idk if 4EXT is available for your vibrant though.

Is the free version better than cwm? (For those who thinks 4ext better than cwm)
I want to give it a try, but I don't want to buy it once it's compatible only to a few numbers of devices.

The free version is only the installer. The paid version of 4EXT installer has a few more features in the app, but let's you choose from the same recoveries.
1. Get one of the apps.
2. Install the latest 4EXT Recovery Touch.
3. Profit
I have a feeling after you use the recovery you won't mind buying the paid app. I didn't. It's worth it to donate for something as fantastic as 4EXT.

Thanks again, estallings15! You're always very helpful to glacier community
I installed it and thought it really nice. I think I won't use app features, but I'll buy it to contribute to the future of 4ext indeed
Another question, Is there any known incompatibility with any glacier rom?

Not in my experience. It fact, quite the contrary. Many have reported problems with ROMs flashed through CWM Recovery. Upon switching to 4EXT and flashing the same ROMs the problems cease. Seems like a pretty good deal to me.
Also, you're quite welcome.

Now I'm rooted, what next?

So I took a big leap and rooted my tablet this morning. I've installed Titanium Backup and GMD Gesture, and also AdAway and AppQuarantine. What other great things can I do? I love trying new things. Any suggestions from you experts? I would be very grateful!

Download and do either of the following for a full backup...
the best way to do a complete and full backup of your device.. There are two methods
1 most common
download ROM MANAGER
you can from in this app install a custom recovery on your device..
Boot into the custom recovery and do a full anand backup. you can also flash other custom roms (custom android os)
2 what i use..
download goo manager beta from play store
in go manager click menu at top choose install open source recovery . follow prompts . It will download and install
same as step one you can boot into recovery from goo manager Its big botton fully touch base . And you can backup and restore as well as flash custom roms...
NOW WITH THE ABOVE SAID PLEASE READ thru the forums related to roms rom manager Custom recoveries .. and so on .. this will save you some troubles later .. anything you need to know or not understand Just ask We are here to help.

Cool, thanks! Could you point me to the best place for explanations about roms? XDA is huge and I am not sure where to look... Cheers!

And then eventually, try out some custom kernels. Although be warned, you may discover a new hobby and become a crack flasher
I usually don't keep any one ROM and kernel on my tablet for more then a week (average is 2 days). I'm trying to resist flashing PARANOIDANDROID 1.992 since I heard 2.0 is around the corner.. not sure how long I can hold out though

To find roms on xda
Xda is a very organized web site for the most part finding them is easy. deciding which one is not so much
rom actually means read only memory.. But we will skip the tech stuff for now..
Here on the device development forums Rom is referred to mostly as a custom built Operating system for your device .
these can be built by one person or a team of developers . Most have tweaks and customization's a bit above and beyond the stock experience. ITS BEST before flashing any new rom is to into the forum thread of the rom read developer info and the comments made on the thread. Many roms have experimental software apps and tweaks.. Not all roms are perfectly stable..SO FINDING one that has what you are looking for is just a matter of reading and trial and error.
Most roms. well all you see anymore Come with a kernel. (The linux part of android .. Kinda whats under the hood) . Be sure to pay attention to this and the information. Some add features some over clock .
we have here for the n7 several types of roms .
original development .. these are based on the custom operating system pushed by google
custom based on the above but often has alot more customization's and kernel tweaks More likely to have buggs . but often faster and take up less storage space on device.. as well as having a personal twist for the developer on apps installed customization's and themes
I never give advice on what to use just go in the development section and start reading .
Be sure before you flash anything on your tablet know what it is and how to get out of it Back to stock and Have your backups backed up...
ALWAYS HAVE A WAY OUT FIRST..
Good Luck

So I am now on Paranoid Android, trying out the different Workspaces. Thanks for the help!

But I don't understand what Paranoid Android does. What does "This rom lets you scale and project every app, every widget, even systemcomponents individually" mean in every day language?

Also, could someone explain where, in tablet mode, the three dots are for the settings of many apps. They seem to be covered by the status bar. How does one access them? Would be grateful for help as I really like the small tablet mode.

[ROM] [MK808] CyanogenMod 10 AOSP 4.2 for MK808

here you go guys found this on my hunt for some UG007 ROMs and thought id share it with you, the website has very little info so i would suggest only experienced user flash this ROM to test and report back!
Must flash with RK Batch Tool (attached)

cool

hi,
I bought a "mk808b".
in the settings it is a "rk30sdk".
still fits the image for me?
thx

RK30sdk relates to it being RK3066 chipset based as are just about all the current dual core tv sticks, unless you are 100% sure about what you are doing do not flash this or any ROM/device

Does not work - won't boot.

it does work.. just takes a round about way to install
the flash.img is a newer build but wont boot.. black screen
the CWM zip is older and will boot but stuck at boot logo
so to install start with a functional ROM
download and flash CWM Recovery from here http://blog.geekbuying.com/index.ph...all-cwm-recovery-on-mk808mk808b/#.UijpSTY3s4c
take the CWM ota zip from the OP, find the install script, and delete the first line with the asserts
copy your modified CWM zip to the internal sdcard on your MK808
use the reboot app to restart to recovery, flash the CWM zip.
restart the device afterwards, and make sure you get the boot logo
take your MK808 and with the batchtool flash the newer flash.img from the OP
after this reconnect to your TV.. on first start it will most likely start in recovery, go ahead and factory reset
reboot and enjoy!

CM10.1 for RK3066 devices
Hi
I just installed CM10.1 Android 4.2.2 on my MK808B and it runs great.
It can work on any Rockchip TV Stick, you just have to install the right kernel for your device then wifi is working. There are also versions for RK3188.
Download link: 'h**p://crewrktablets.arctablet.com/?p=1913'
Some improvements that would be great Maybe a rom developer can do it
1. Bluetooth support - I rekon it doesn't have all the bluetooth folders/files from system from the Rockchip stock roms, maybe this can be included.
2. Resolution - At the moment I can't find a setting to change the resolution eg. 720,1080p, can this be included.
3. The back button on the Mele Flymouse F10 doesn't work, you have to click back on the status bar. Maybe a keyboard layout file is missing.
4. Android keyboard - An Android keyboard doesn't popup, I only managed to use my hardware Mele keyboard for input.
5. Libstagefright Support - The libstagefright.so file from Rockchip. it looks like it's included but H/W+ in Mxplayer is scrambled.
6. Hardware Acceleration - I found one of the tweak apps included can enable it.
7. Developer settings in Settings Menu - This is not enabled at the moment.
8. Language - Change the default language to English instead of German. Can be done through build.prop file.
9. Build prop - Tweak it to improve performance of device.
If a rom developer can improve this rom it will be great, as it's so much better than the stock Rockchip roms.
Feature already included
CWM 6.0.1.5 recovery
- System ext4
- Internal Storage 2,5 GB
- PhabletUI & Multiuser
- Device spoofed as Nexus 7 [v1.2.3]
- Ethernet Support
- Init.d support
- USB-Hub enabled
- Gamepad (PS2, XBox, ...)
- Kernel modules (cifs, tun, lan, serial)
- latest hosts, su, su-binary, busybox
- MX Video-Player, Apollo & FX Sound
- Reboot Menu, CPU Tweaker, Pimp my Rom
- Dateimanager HD (Root)
- Trebuchet & Nova Launcher

Looks nice!
Does it work fine with Netflix? No scrambled videos?
Thanks!

Apparently Netflix Will not work out of the box. I wish someone would contradict me. Seems possible if you take up modding. It is a big drawback that someone in the business could overcome.

Well mine doesn't work but there is a "primewire" of an example that can be found with Google that has all the shows and movies plus more that are just as good with hubi apk. Putlocker and filenuke are best quality. (Added bonus 15 minutes after show goes off it is uploaded)

Whats The Difference Between CWM, TWRP, and 4EXT

Hello. I have searched the threads for this. All I found out is that 4EXT is made from CWM source. But which one is better in your opinion. I want to flash this mod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975379&nocache=1&z=2611511510331183
But they said we need CWM 6.0+ , so what recovery should I chose? I don't mind buying 4EXT, but only if its some use to me
If theres a very obvious answer, I'm sorry because I'm pretty new lol

It's all down to preference.
CWM is very simple and straight forward.
TWRP is prettier, has theming capability and extra features and uses it's own format and folders.
4EXT uses the same format and folders as CWM, but has a lot more features, theming, a "wipe all" feature and is much more pleasing to the eyes. I bought it. Never looked back.

Thanks I'm using the free version right now, so what time about entropy mod? Will it work?

No. I'm just speaking of entropy mods in general.
If it will install in CWM, it will install in 4ext.

[Q] Switching back and forth between nandroid backups

Is it ok to frequently switch between backed up nandroids? For example... switching between 2 different ROMS (CM10.1 and a TW Rom)?
Is this a totally safe practice?

just make sure you wipe before it and not do dirty flashes

Is that even if your backups are for ROMs both on different versions of Android?

Make sure you back up the boot partition also since different versions of Android use different kernels. It would be wise to keep a zip file of the kernels on you sdcard so you can flash them easily if the phone doesn't boot up after a backup.

Search for "noobdev dual boot" on this forum. I believe it is a much more convenient solution than using backups and a lot of roms are supported

The great thing about the dual boot is that you can switch between roms in a matter of 2 minutes (install excluded)
Typically I use it so I have my daily driver and one or two roms I want to give a try. Once I am happy with one of the try-outs I upgrade the primary.
Bottom line is the dual boot is very easy to work with, doesn't require (although it can be preferable to have one once every now and then) backups and allow for easy flashing of new roms without affecting your daily driver.
It damn well looks like you could use such convenience because if your ready to do what you listed above then I'd say you're likely to want to try new roms fairly often
