Help

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!

You were a member since 2010.. Please read the FAQs and rules. Her battery might be old, consider buying a new HTC battery for her.
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.
Here is an excellent guide to root:

I would also install the 4ext recovery found here:

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

Ah sorry about that. ill remember next time. Awesome! Youre a huge help, ill have to try that out. I bought a new battery so hopefully thatll help. Also, i read the link you posted about the 4ext recovery but didnt totally understand it. Is it just a different version of cwm recovery?

Its a recovery like cwm... but better

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?
@edit
already found the anser. sorry

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.

[DISCUSSION] SlimBean for Sprint SGS4

This is a discussion thread made at the request of cordell12 for SlimBean for the Sprint SGS4.
Official website: http://slimroms.net/
Link to dev thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263838
So, let's discuss the ROM!

currently compiling and will have a new build up soon!
not sure if eveyone uses The Real Dark Slim, TRDS Toggle that darkens the ROMs UI (original slim feature )
if so, in this build there is a Toggle that can be added to PIE or Nav Bar, this is "On the Fly" changing.
so if you are outside and need a brighter screen, the control is at you fingertips!
Test it out
also a few changes to opt/telephony, what that means is 3G may or may not be better, those who have poor speeds, let me know...
OP in ROM thread will be updated when build is released

Wouldn't I loose all data if I reset?
This should be the final step before I flash

There is documentation galore about this on every device... I would read it. But just follow what I said and you will be fine. It's really not rocket science.

I'm on the may 11 build the only one I've installed and I'm experiencing the horrendous 3g but I'm toughing it out since I'm having trouble rooting the stock ROM.
That has been the ONLY issue for me I've been having difficulty doing anything on the play store on 3g it keeps saying no connection.
Keep it up Cordell thanks for everything

[q]aokp q & a

I figured I'd start a thread for this ROM.
My first question or bug report not sure which...
When turning on 2G networks only, it changes preferred networks to GSM only.
Makes sense.
Only problem is when coming out of 2g only mode, it changes the preferred network to wcdma not LTE.
There a way to change that or that just how its designed?
Thanks.

This thread will be obsolete once i get the official Q & A thread started. It will be kinda like the one i have for the sgs3 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781242. I'm already working on it.

In the mean time, may I ask if sdxc 64gb cards are supported in exfat? My stock rom had no problems with it but aokp won't mount it saying, "blank or unrecognized card."
Do I need to format to fat32?
TWRP still recognizes and reads files of of the card with no issues.

Thanks task.

Twrp still reads it because it's a 4.2.2 aosp problem (I'm pretty sure at least). I am curious if formatting the card would help but I doubt it b/c it didn't help on 4.2.2 on the s3. It's a minor inconvenience but personally I'm just glad to get TW off this thing. Thanks Task! I didn't think the first build would be really buggy or anything but I did expect some minor issues on the first build. Couldn't have been more wrong though, is so fast and stable it's not even funny.

No you won't lose them unless you delete them yourself. But you won't be able to use them unless you flash back to the recovery that they were made from.

If he needs a step by step video of how to install the ROM then I would suggest him to not flash anything to his device until he reads up on these things more. Otherwise I see him bricking his phone in the near future.

How is that even possible? The instructions are simple and slapped right in your face. 1, make sure you have OUDHS, 2, full wipe then flash. Couldn't possibly get any easier and if people can't figure that out then they should not be modding hardware :angel:

Easy as Pie to flash task roms it already has the kernel in it. it's full proof!

Does it takes some time for the Task650 ROM to fully leverage and use the battery to its maximun potential?, with the Stock TW ROM I was getting around 0.5[%/hr] battery usage/drainage with the phone fully idle, measured by BetterBatteryStats, right now I am getting around 3.5[%/hr] battery usage/drainage with Task650 AOKP ROM, comments are welcome, thanks
NOTE: I've been measuring Deep Sleep with CPU Spy and with BOTH ROMs Deep Sleep will be around 93% to 97%

I would be very happy if you all could share your ideas and knowledge with me regarding
List of things to do after buying a new Android Tablet
I am expecting my GT-N8000 next week and I want to start on the right footing with my new device.
It could be a list of do this and do that....step by step in order of precedence.
ex:
1. Disable UAC on Windows
2. Install Samsung Kies software on PC
3. Backup current/original Bootloader and save it on your PC for fallback purposes
4. Backup current/original ROM and save it on your PC for fallback purposes
5. Copy CWM or whatever...on your SD Card.
6. Boot up by pressing this and that button....
7. and the list goes on and on....(with all of your help!)

Going from cm 10 to 11 you should wipe. You could try not doing it but you'll most likely have problems.
