Pimp my Rom

Just thought I would ask what everyone thinks about the app Pimp My Rom... I've started using it but not sure if it's helping or not...

Generally it seems like its come a long way (in my eyes anyway)
I've been following it from the beginning and can say that the dev is very consistent and follows through if any problems come up
Also seen most, if not all, of the tweaks work well or as intended

"Pimp My Rom" is a very good app for making your phone run smoother,Androguide.fr,seems to update this app daily,which is a good thing,keeps it bug free,but you should'nt use all of the tweaks at the same time,trust me it will make the phone bootloop,some of the tweaks wont work on the OG,just be careful and backup first.

It wouldn't boot into the rom. You would get a continuous loop of the splash screen, and/or the boot animation. In which case you would need to restore a nandroid.

Thanks... This is off topic but real quick how do I install this radio combo update... EVO_Radio_2.15.00.08.08_WiMAX_27243_PRI_NV_2.15_00 3

Make sure your s-off, download the radio combo, make sure it's named PC36IMG.zip exactly, boot into bootloader and when it asks you to update, press volume up.

Why did you want to go to older radios anyway? The newest are 2.15.00.12.19 I believe. And I'm not sure why it didn't update that's strange.

And remember to either delete the pc36img zips or move them off the root of your sd card, or else everytime you boot into the bootloader it will ask you to update

[Q] Recovery Preference

This may be premature, but now that we are unlocked and liberated from stock recovery what is the best replacement out there? I have used both clockwork mod and TWRP with other devices but does one have an advantage over the other with the M? Voice your opinion to the community!!!

I prefer TWRP, and it seems to be the best option for this phone. Use version 2.3, as 2.4 is still in beta and a lot of people have had issues with if. CWM doesn't have as many options as TWRP.

What he said. And the cwm is pain in the ass to navigate with the volume buttons.
Hate the new backup system in cwm also.

I use both, one of my Ms has twrp and one has cwm. I prefer cwm because backups are faster IMO, but either works

where can i download 2.3?

I have yet to root the M yet. With my Inc2 I used twrp from day one that it was released. GNex I used 4ext which is also excellent.

There is a link in this thread:
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/6444-installing-a-custom-recovery/
The TWRP that's included in the Unlock/Recovery thread in this forum has a link to 2.4, which is pretty buggy.

I haven't used it, but other people report that's it unable to restore a backup and freezes at "Creating MD5" when creating a backup. I think there were some other ones mentioned, but I couldn't find them.

Granted, I did use Safestrap. But the M hasn't ever had working HW-accelerated 4.2 due to framebuffer issues with the QHD panel. Those issues will hopefully be resolved with Pinter, Hash, and dhacker's work on a custom kernel.

Got it. Works well, but we're missing HW rendering like I said... not as smooth as CM10. But looks like everything works except still and video camera. Nice to have another option on this device, especially 4.2. Thanks for building for us!

I will when I get home.

Currently running CM10 with unlocked bootloader on TWRP. Booted in to recovery, wiped dalvik and cache, flashed your AOKP build along with the 4.2.2 gapps, wiped dalvik and cache again and rebooted. Upon reboot my screen went white (somewhat pixelated) went to boot screen and hung there. Then when I tried to restore a backup of my CM10 it would bootloop as well. Had to reflash CM10 and 4.0.x gapps then restore in order to get back to my CM10 build.

What is required to (firmware version) root, unlock and flash a custom recovery?
I've looked here in the forums but I couldn't find anything. Unless if I'm blind as a bat. Haha.
But seriously.

Update to the official 4.1.2, use Matt's 1.20 utility to root, unlock, and flash a recovery.
Welcome to the club

I'm already at 4.1.2 so I'll continue, anything else I need?
Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app

Matts utility will do all the work for you. Just make sure you have a full battery charge.

I did it. Its unlocked and currently running the latest Cm10.1.
Wish I could change the start up screen though. Then again I don't really restart my phone that often.

I don't think there is any chance of that. Wait till you have the PC and sideload it.
Hopefully it doesn't mess up your phone, since it doesn't seem to want to update on its own.
