[Q] MIUI v5 question - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I wanted to ask in the actual thread for this found here, but apparently XDA says I need to make ten posts first. Anyway there seem to be a month of updates in the official thread by bmarko over here that haven't been put in to our port. My simple question is will copying libril.so and libril-qc-qmi-1.so from a working rom to /system/lib/ all it takes to make the official one work, or did they have to do something special?
Thanks in advance for your help and replies. Sorry if this is a dumb question. I have searched and found nothing, and I know I could try it myself but I was just wondering if anyone else knows before I put in the work.

ROM Question

Like the title says.... its a question about ROMs...
I have the EviL.HeRo ROM 2.7(x). Well, my question is can I have more then one ROM on my SDCard? or do I have to remove one ROM to put in another?
EDIT: Which is the newest version of EviL.HeRo? Is it 2.9.5x?
... another question
How do I install ROM's? The only reason I knew how to install the EviL.HeRo ROM was because a video guide helped me. I just don't get the whole coding process. Can someone explain?
Which HERO ROM is the best? is it EviL.HeRo?
EDIT: When I installed my first ROM, all my applications got deleted? Is this normal? and does this happen every time you install a new one?
BTW, thanks for helping me out. I know I'm a "n00b!".

Like the title says, this belongs in Q&A
If you want to have more than 1 ROM update.zip on your phone you will need to flash either Amon_RAs RAv1.2.1 recovery or cyanogens 1.4 that will let you flash a ROM without renaming it to update.zip
Newest version of EViL Hero? Check the thread.
There are SO MANY instructions about how to install a ROM. There is even an entire wiki that explains all of this stuff. You really need to do a search and look around a bit.
Read this: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking
If you get lost, ask a question in the Q&A forum...not the dev forum. The dev forum is for DEVELOPMENT. There is a sticky at the top of the forum that explains this.
Applications will be deleted iff you wipe before flashing. This is required most of the time. Check out MyBackup Pro.
It is fine that you are new to this, but ask in the right place and do your due diligence. Google and forum search was invented for a reason.
Ok, sorry about that, and thank you.

Guide to load custom roms and perform nandroid backup?

I'm sorry but I have searched for that last 20 minutes in the Hero CDMA thread.. I can't seem to find a thread that explains what a recovery image is or how to even load it.. I came from windows mobile and it was pretty simple to load a rom, I'm hoping it's the same thing for android.
What I need:
if you guys can explain or link me to the following, it would be greatly appreciated:
Explanation on recovery images on how to load them
How to perform a back up
thank you guys...
I'm sorry, please delete this thread.. found what I was looking for.
It's always nice of you to tell someone else where you found it in case they come searching along and need it too.

IMHO The easiest way would be to edit build.prop in system folder and edit /etc/customization/settings/cust.prop replace the SI with the one you wanna debrand to.
EDIT: Already answered. oops.

Android Marketplace for A7

Hello all,
I really want to get this installed by way of Dexter's Mod...but I am not well versed in this sort of thing. In fact, I know next to nothing about computers.
But I believe I know enough to go through the simple steps outlined in all the posts on this forum...problem is the Mod file appears to be damaged or something everytime I try to save it to my computer. I've ran tests on the file and it looks like something is wrong. Could someone provide a little insight on what I might be doing wrong??? Is there something wrong with the downloads on this site?
Thanks so much
A7
I thinks the file is damaged and I would suggest sending another thread since noone bothered to answer this one. I am pretty savvy and I have had elocity about two weeks and cant get to load dex rom or mod. I would suggest trying another link or seeking advice elsewhere!! good luck!!! Even I have had no luck yet!!

You do realize this post is from January? And the link works fine for me from Dexter's OP, you are downloading elocity mod 1.41 correct, if you still have no luck downloading it I'll repost the zip
Thanks, I did realize it was from January, please post the link!!!! I would appreciate it Im not sure what I may be doing wrong. let me know............
Check contents...
Some of the updates need to be extracted before renaming and loading. Be sure to have a look with a zip utility of some kind, if you see a text file and another zip in the file you downladed...extract then proceed.

4. Be sure to thank those who help you! They helped you, the least you could do is give a simple thanks!

request for Sticky thread about Backup and Restore
Hi
Can you make a sticky thread about a step by step guide to backup and restore the existing phone data and software(and everything else, so that anyone can comeback to present position anytime) before trying anything new.
I am a newbie and recently bricked one of my phones by trying a update(and still searching for proper firmware to restore it). I know that searching may yield some result but if there is a sticky thread, it will be helpful for people like me. I know there are stock roms available but nothing beats getting the good old phone back as it is with a feeling that nothing happened.
PS. I have installed CWM and tried the backup option there.However while backing up data it showed " failed to mount /data partition(backed up boot image and other things, but where I do not know(may be on SD card, but cannot find)). My phone is rooted and on original firmware (working perfectly). Samsung kies has a frequent crashing problem on winXP. So dared not use it.

If the backup was completed you can see a folder named
Clockworkmod.
You can find your nandroid backup inside backup..

It contains 3 files
recovery.img
boot.img
system.rfs.tar
It said during backup that could not mount /data. Will it affect in anyway during restoration? Will I get back my contacts, pictures and games? I like to try the jellybin firmware available here but also want to comeback to my present position if I do not like it. Is this backup sufficient for complete restoration or I have to do something else ?

I don't think that the backup will work..
Generally the backup has 4 files
Nandroid.md5
System.rfs.tar
Cache.rfs.tar
And
Data.rfs.tar
By the way if you want the stock roms nandroid backup (without data ie. Factory resetted) I can provide you the links..
Kernel is not included.
Hit thanks if I helped you.
Would there be a possibility of having a Jellyblast custiom ROM with Merruk kernel?
I am currently enjoying my Jelllyblast V3. I read that we could overclock the unit. The thing is I have read most posts here but I am having difficulty understanding it. Most instructions are to techinical for me. I am hoping that the next Jellyblast custom ROM will have an option of either having a Kuro or Merruk kernel. But if there is a much simpler way of installing Merruk, I would like to know.
Thanks!

Will it help to restore me to everything like a new one (except the data) purchased fresh from market? Then please provide the link. BTW, I am using CWM Ver 5.0.2.6. Are you sure that the above four files will be produced ? I have taken the back ups twice with same set of files available.The data partition could not be mounted in both the cases.
Hi guys, please search the Q&A forum to look forward an answer to your question, if there isn't one, create a new thread there. This thread is not the place to ask questions! Thanks!

my phone works fine unless I insert the memory card.then after a few minutes it freezes and reboots without powering off. Then it restarts, freezes and again shuts down.removing the card fixes it but then I can't use my apps songs and videos on my memory card. That card worked fine for almost a year (I didn't test it on some other Android device but it works on non Android devices)
My Recent Activity
a few days ago I decided to deodex my phone using a flashable I found somewhere...it all was working fine except for a few FCs and sometimes it froze but after some time it would get back to normal.then I installed a few apps like undelete and ROM toolbox pro.I changed the boot animation too. So once I was using opera mini web browser and my phone froze and turned off in the same way I mentioned earlier... I tried clearing dalvik cache and the cache partition in recovery mode but to no avail.I also removed a few apps I suspected may have been the cause but that too didn't work.
I hope the experts here help me out with the issue soon.
