What is the first thing you do after flashing a new rom?

Just for fun. But who knows, it might help someone out there.
First thing I do is to install titanium backup and restore my preferred keyboard - Swype. There is surprisingly no rom that comes with this as default keyboard. Nobody here uses it?
After that I just check out what the rom has to offer and see if everything's working right. If I like it I start restoring my apps and setting up stuff.

and will also do the same when I flash a custom rom
I turn of my use of packet data as it charges more money

i check whether rom wifi, camera works or not....

im not being rude here but after flashing a new rom, i reboot my phone. lol
just joking.
login my google account, and sync my contacts. install root explorer, link2sd, reboot, restore apps or data thru titanium, then explorer the rom. oh before i forgot, i text my own number to be sure that i have the correct csc.
and lastly, install opera mini, go to xda, give a feedback. hope it helps, just a reminder, reboot first. hahaha

after flashing new roms, I boot the Phone, then go over all the Android Introductory questions until i get into the phone's menu... after that, I restart my phone. Boot into recovery, and wipe /cache and /data. reboot. and then go over the android questions. Check the hardware if they are still working, and observe if there are any differences.. I then set up my calendar, alarms, ringtones... restore messages from sim card, reinstall apps as APKs. The last thing I do is login to google, then to Samsung for the SIM Change Alert...

First, I get rid of the bloatwares (if any). Then, I restore my apps w/ Titanium Backup. Then, I login to Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc.

second, i check the all the apps that comes with the rom
third, i check the running background services
fourth, root and restore my apps etc.

This thread helps me a lot ..
Btw.. First thing after wiping data or reflashing is rooting, restore apps from titanium, set ringtone, wallpaper and then set the setting of my phone and some apps. add some launcher (GO launcher EX) and then install memory cleaner (1 tap) .. and uhmmm.... i CHEck if there is anything wrong in my phone by dialing *#0*#. I hope there is an app that checks everything on the phone's hardware so that im not so tired of checking it's application like camera or music player if it's working... is there any??

That's absolutely essential for me Titanium all the way

[Q] fb21 help needed

Ok this is totally a noob question and help would be greatly appreciated I accidentally replace touchwiz browser with stock ics browser. I was ok with it at first but I miss the automatic text re flow on touchwiz. I tryed to use system app restore to restore it from a fresh install but it wont work. Any one know how to fix this?

Go into settings -- applications -- all then scroll down to the launcher and select clear defaults.. Hit home button and you will have the option to select TW as default..

I dont mean the Launcher I mean web Browser but thank you for that

Ahh... Misread sorry..
A little more info is needed.. How did you replace TW Browser with ICS Browser? From market or did you delete TW Browser from phone and push ICS Browser to system/apps??

(should be posted in Q & A section) Im a bit confused to with what your asking. Did you download an after market browser or what? The FB21 leak only comes with 1 browser, it comes with 2 launchers (a launcher is the User interface that you use to locate things throughout your phone) either way if you altered the defaults for your browser or launcher, follow as he said and go to the app (.apk) and select it then clear defaults.

Installing System apps from Stock ICS

Hi guys,
I managed to flash CM9 with the help of some people on these forums .
However, now i would like to restore some system apps from the stock ICS app, which i loved. For example, I downloaded the .apk for the Xperia Gallery, and I've moved it into System/Apps/, and set the permissions. However, i cannot seem to load it. I've also wiped the dalvik cache.
How do i run the Xperia Gallery?
THANKS!!!

it would of been easier if you used Titanium Backup instead... this is what you can do
-download ES file explorer > find the .apk in your SD card, where ever you put it > install it and load it

The thing is becuase it is a system app, whenever i try install it, it will say "application not installed".

u cannot use some stock apps as these apps requires sony supporting files,which can only be found on stock roms..

Damn...
Is there any other way to get Xperia Gallery back?

go back to stock rom...

:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

why dont you try custom roms based on stock rom? they are smooth and nice..

I personally dislike the Xperia Gallery. It takes ages to load.
Give QuickPic a try.

Hi guys,
Im sorry but I'm back with another question (not again -_-"). I was just wondering, How do I change the default app for viewing images on my CM9 flashed android? I've got another app for viewing images and it is set to default, unless, i open images through the camera app
Help will be greatly appreciated!!!

go to settings..apps..then look for that default app...open it and "clear default"..tats it..next time when u open an image,phone will ask u to select an app out of 2 or 3...tick mark on make default and select that app..tats all

Gaaps MIUI
will this version of Gaaps work with MIUI ROM ?

Work on all CM7 androids?

AW: [TUTORIAL] Install Gaaps for Cyanogenmod7, Market and Google apps.
Some ROMs have their own recommended GApps so check first in your ROMs thread. If not, you can just browse goo.im for the latest GApps. Make sure, it's the right package for your Android version. Jb = jellybean, gb = gingerbread. For the flashing you can follow the guide above.

Thank you.
I will be an ungrateful dude if I do not thank you for this download. I was on Jelly bean on Lg P500 but had to downgrade to Gingerbread because I was not enjoying it much. But when I did, google apps was missing, and you provided a solution.
Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Please will you marry meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Haha!!!:highfive:

GApps for gingerbread
Thanks alottt

Gawd I installed it a couple of times over. Didn't get Google now to work the first time. Now my /system folder is maxed out. Any idea what I could delete?

I have the same problem and yes, using a file explorer there is no Play store at system/app.
Is it possible that there is no Play store or Market until I setup a google account on the device (because at the moment I'm right after factory reset, so there is nothing on the phone)?

I downloaded the proper gapps, boot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe data / factory reset, install gapps, reboot. Then now it's working. I don't know what happened previously after the first factory reset (it was from the menu, not from recovery).

:/
I've been trying that for a while now, and I still can't use Google Play Store.

[Q] CM10 - are gapps mandatory?

Hello!
Might sound like a stupid question :silly: but:
- is it necessary to install gapps? Or, if you just don't need/want them, don't install them and phone will work like a charm?
Asking because it says (quote):
install kernel
full wipe
flash rom
reboot into rom
reboot back into recovery
flash gapps
Just curious, as gapps install a LOT of things... Someone might need just play store, or just search, or just chrome, or... you know what I mean... :fingers-crossed:
Thanks in advance...

Gapps basically contain all the preloaded apps by Google (Google Maps, News and Weather, etc). Your phone will still work without flashing Gapps, but you'll be missing out on Google services, especially Google Now. So, it is better to flash the Gapps
Based on personal experience

Yes, you're right about what's in gapps.
But, let's say, for me, I don't need Google Maps, as I have iGO. I also have another weather app, I don't need Google Now, and so on...
With gapps installed, it's a bit hard to tell which one of gapps you can freeze or uninstall, because they seem cross-connected...
Not to mention that it's no use to have some app on the phone that you don't use or need and it's just taking some memory...
So, basically, like you said, no need to install gapps and if I want just one app from Google, I install it. And the phone will work. Good, thank you!

You can install gapps and then use a root explorer to go into /system/app and delete the apps you don't need.

Idk if this applies to the One V, but NOT flashing GAPPS could result in some functions not working like Lockscreen, Home button, and other elements.
