Rom Noob.

I'm thinking about getting a new ROM as the one I have is stock and is utterly poop. Can you choose one and not ever need to change it again and it will stay the same speed for ever? I have a few questions that I hope you could all answer.
How do I install once downloaded a ROM
If I was to install a ROM and it did not work do I just do a hard reset to get it back to standard?
Once I have a new ROM can I still use apps that I have if I install them again?
Should I back up files I have atm and how?

wow
Have you read even a single postin this section of the forum?
all of thoseare answered at least 10,000 times already. If you look up there is even a thread with comparisons of ROMs now, how about starting that and then working from there.

No need for the WOW comment, I'm a bit impatient at times I will have a read about but would still like my questions answered.

Hey there,
This might help read тħıš!
The rom im using you will find ħeяe
Try using --»тħıš!«-- to help you search for questions you asked..I learnt alot from searching
Hope all the above answers your questions

thats one thing you dont want to be mate, impatient when it comes to flashing roms, for eperienced flashers its a 5 minute job, but for newcommers its easy to **** up.
I would suggest spending some time reading up about it before jumping straight in at the deep end.
Check the link in my sig and also the ones posted by shum97.
Good luck.

Thanks

It's more a question for the Q&A forum.
Why don't you just download a rom based on your version (3.1, 3.2, etc), unzip it using 7zip, and get the files from there?

here's my massive sounds zip.
I have created a flashable zip with a massive compilation of sounds for your device.
It's pretty universal and should be flashable to many devices!
Enjoy!

Dude, I asked why you didn't just download the rom, and get the files that way. Clearly, you were apt enough to Root your device, and Rom it. Clearly, you know how to use 7zip and such.
I stated to get the rom, unzip, and gather your stock sound files. But you classify me as a ....ahem.... troll?
I could have directed you to a link to iTunes. But I didn't. I gave you a way to get your stock sounds back.
As a rom "modder", I am thus truely offended. And I will think twice about lending assistance. And the "DEV" Thread, is for Mod's and DEV's. Read the XDA rules before spouting off about things.
Your request was really for Q&A, and not development related. So no need to be so harsh.

yeah, i have to agree.... this is really a q/a
i don't mind sharing the needed files..... but it's still a q/a

hey mate pls another mirror as MU got taken down...

[A][Tut] How to recover from ICS leak upgrade.

KJY2010 posted a nice step by step tutorial along with ALL files necessary to recover from the leaked ICS upgrade if anyone is stuck with no answers.
Thread is in A500 & 501 Tutorial forums at androidtabletgeeks.com
Sorry can't link as a n00b to these forums.

Thank you sir.
There are alot of people in the Dev forum stuck with no one giving clear answers, and being a n00b here, I cannot post in that forum!

Hello,
I have tried the above tutorial a few times and am getting stuck at the step you enter the CPUID. Upon entering my ID it comes back and states CPU ID is bad format. I am not including the 0x and just using my serial number. Any ideas? Thank you.

Offcorse you gonna deny this but I know better , already got confirmation on that .
Are you gonna link every post you do to AndroidTabletGeeks ?
I've been on your personal ignore list a while I think , not answering e-mail and skype.
Thanks for that , still got to figure out why but hé if that makes you happy !
Have a good one !

I appreciate that you and MD are trying to get your site off the ground, but why not share the information here and include the link to the OP. The picture guide is probably very useful to people and would benefit everyone to have it in both locations.
This looks like you are trying to poach people away. I know that may not be your intent, but the motives could appear suspect to some.
Also, there is a guide, without pictures, over in the developer section - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516012

Not our intent at all.
If you check the "time stamps" on both posts (the one I posted at ATG, as well as the one you posted) you'll see that the post at ATG (not the post I made here) was done hours before the post at XDA.
Having just been through the nightmare involved with having to revert from the ICS leak, finding my way back to a rooted ROM, and finding mostly hostile remarks directed at those that couldn't figure it out for themselves over in the DEV forum, we came up with a very clear, concise, and explicit TUT on how to get back to a rooted ROM, complete with ALL files needed to do so over at ATG.
As far as the "appearance of being suspect" goes, that's one of the reasons we started our own "community", and not just a mere forum.
While we literally just launched the site mere days ago, and don't have many members as of yet, those that have joined have already made remarks attesting to this fact. Most if not all of our members are members of several forums, some including XDA. No reason to "poach", as we're just giving people alternatives to finding information about things that we all share the same passion for..."All things Android Tablet Related".
Just wanted to clear up why, and when this post was made.

Exactly, since we already have on XDA those informations http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516012 , this thread is now closed.

Help needed. Can't update to 2.2.1 because phone is rooted

I rooted the phone and now can't update to the latest version Oxygen 2.2.1 automatically
Is there any way around the problem?

If you have rooted your phone, you probably also have replaced the original recovery with twrp. In that case, just download the 2.2.1 ota zip from the ota thread in this forum and flash it manually in twrp.

Yes there is a way around: search. Because this question has been answered BILLION AND BILLION times. Even if you are a new to XDA, you should know there is rules. You should know there is a search bar located in top right of your screen. There is a index on this forum which gives you link to @Spannaa's thread where he groups all OTA and Stock ROMs + a tutorial to update when you're root. I gave you all information needed.

There is no need to be rude, I actually searched several pages before posting my question, as I was pretty sure the question had most likely been asked before. Certainly don't think it's been asked BILLIONS AND BILLIONS of times.
But thanks for your help, I will be sure to do a more THOROUGH search next time I think about posting

I agree to him, you do not need to be rude, this community is about helping others so it is not a big deal if you typed the solution. If you look at it , it would have taken less less words than the long comments which you posted.

HOW THE HECK COULD YOU NOT FIND IT. You obviously didn't didn't search very hard my son

I concur,no way he searched.. it's always 1 of the 5 under OnePlus 2 general.

The fact that OP had his phone rooted indicates he probably has some basic knowledge of unlocking bootloader, flashing recoveries/ROMs..etc and therefore should be resourceful look up the solution himself be it on XDA or not. The point is with an easy, and somewhat obvious solution to such a common problem (tbh I too had this exact same issue when I first got the phone, but I knew then I had to do a manual flash) surely people will get frustrated when asked.

I agree we are here to help, but come on, a question that has been answered so many times, in many threads, doesn't deserves one more topic. It reminds me the fingerprints problem on CM13 when it didn't work yet: it was about 2 or 3 question about it per page: "is fingerprint working???", "does fingerprint working". Come on, there is search function, so why don't use it ? Imagine if we create a thread every time we have a problem with our device but this problem has already been solved. Imagine state of the forum after all those threads. And yeah, as said above, if this man as his phone rooted, well, I think he has some basics knowledge about OnePlus Two.

Request help installing recovery on my Rooted Verizon Note 3

Hello , I am trying to install your Jasmine 5.0 Rom on my Rooted Verizon Note 3. I downloaded and installed the safestrap 3.75-B04 apk on the device. I granted it (SU) and it says its installed , but it will not reboot into TWRP recovery. How do I fix this issue ? I tried several ways to make safestrap work and none have helped. Can anyone help me fix this issue ? I appreciate any help thank you.

I debated not answering this post for two reasons:
(1) I count at least 3 separate identical posts from you in multiple forums and threads. Stop it. That's called spamming or cross-posting. It's unacceptable behavior.
(2) Just about 8 or 10 posts down from this one there is a thread that covers this exact issue, check out what it's title is:
Needing help with Safestrap Recovery, Will not boot to recovery
What you need help with apparently, is searching
Safestrap 3.75 was built for KK (KitKat) ROMs - Android 4.4.x
By your own words, you have Jasmine 5.0 installed, which is based off of OB6 - Lollipop 5.0
SImply put, Safestrap has never worked on Lollipop ROMs and never will. The developer moved on.
.

First off, I was not trying to spam or cross-post or conduct myself with unacceptable behavior. Secondly, I appreciate all the help and advice that I receive . What I don't appreciate is unwarranted criticism. I was only trying to find an answer to my problem, and if I can help someone else , I will do so. Again I appreciate all the help and advice that I receive. I hope that I was NOT spamming or cross-posting or conducting unacceptable behavior. I apologize to all if I was offensive.

Asking you to follow the rules requested by the moderators and followed largely by everyone is not unwarranted criticism. It's asking you to follow the rules.

Spamming or Cross-posting have an extremely simple definition: posting exact duplicates of the same message in multiple forums and multiple threads. Hope has nothing to do with it.

The forum rules are right up there at the top of the list of threads. Here's some excerpts from those rules, which are pretty much the same in almost every forum:
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting or creating a new thread. Whether you have a question or just something new to share, it's very likely that someone has already asked that question or shared that news.
5. Create a thread or post a message only once.
As a large forum, we don't need unnecessary clutter. You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer, revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time so it might take a while before you receive an answer.

Imagine what a horrible mess this place would be if everyone posted identical copies of their messages 3 or 4 times in separate places. Most messages would be orphans with no responses, and interesting topics with many responders would be split into 4 unrelated conversations with many people repeating the same information with different chronologies, and largely being unaware of contributions of others. That is why it is frowned upon.

Being whiny won't make others jump to pitch in and help you any further with your problem. Nobody is asking you to be perfect, but to read and do a little research and not cross post. The answers to your questions are covered here very thoroughly.
