Since I can't post in the developer section yet i'm asking here, hope it's ok. Been looking at the ROM for a few mins and it looks great, but i've been using MIUI for so long my flashing skills are kind of rusty.
First of all, the kernel is included in the ROM and is the one the developer recommends or have developed right?
And secondly, wich radio is recommended for the ROM? Could'nt find any answer to that in the first post dedicated to the ROM. Should i flash radio before or after i flash the ROM?
Again hope you don't mind me posting this stupid question here and thank you in advance for your answers.
Oh and btw does HTC Watch work with these ROMs? Living in Sweden if it matters.

Radio is your personal choice... just pick the one which works best for you. Flash the rom and yes the kernel is included in the rom.

follow my signature for trouble free flash and welcome to rcmix3d 1.5... best rom out there and if the htc watch service is available in your country then yes it will work.
Transferring the ROM, Supercharger, full wipe 1.5 ext4, and the overclock thing right now, hopefully I'll have it done with the titanium backed up apps installed as well. Your signature actually helped alot.

you are welcome just remember while using titanium backup DO NOT restore system apps and ONLY restore user apps without data.. even better if you have not started already just make a folder in the root of your sdcard\RCTeam\app.user and copy all your user apps from data\app folder to sdcard\RCTeam\app.user and let the rom install your apps automatically.
Restoring data was the reason i bought titanium backup
I'll just restore the apps i had then with market links. The ROM is really fast btw, the eyecandy isn't too bad either.

Actually it seems that the script killersloth linked is the problem as the phone froze again before i even entered my SIM Pin, I'll just flash the restore thing before it freezes the next time.
And Wavesecure is actually really good, I can lock and locate and wipe the phone with simple text messages, though I never use any kind of AV apps.

I would just go with a standard Rom flash set it up as my liking then do a nand backup only then I will start playing with oc\uv and fine tuning the rom to my liking... it has saved me a lot of problems faced by many users. just my way of doing things. after every success mod I do a nand backup incase my next mod messes up something I have a backup to come back to saves a lot of time and hassle. IMHO I can't say any thing about killersloth's script coz I have not used it.
NAND backups takes ages xD
However the phone is working as it should now, all thats left is a nice theme, anyone?
I won't be playing around with voltages and speeds on the CPU, default is just fine.

Nope getting it aswell, I'll try the one you are using.
I can't log in to Facebook using friend stream when I want to put on my lockscreen, just says wrong username or password although I know it's not.
Can I use any of the ROMs listed in the OUT kitchen or do I have to upload my own files as the ones for this specific ROM aren't available.

your best bet is to upload the files from your phone or the downloaded rom, in the uot kitchen.. the fc problem in the glass theme is a known issue you overcome it by disabling the sound effects in the weather app
OK, thanks for the fc fix.
Only thing bothering me with the theme is the transparency in the status bar, replacing it and the battery, + a new font. Then I'm happy until I find something fancier

more detail please, like tweaks and kernel, what miui kitchen(nothing fancy?) have you added something besides what is in the kitchen(mustard, ketchup?)
What is in the ROM? MIUI has come a long way though. They need to work on their camera app still.
Hey, let us see some screenshots. 'Your needs' isn't enough as details. I am looking forward to it because you might have really combined some good combos which might be worthy enough of a additional download.

No offense intended, but if you cooked a ROM using the MIUI Kitchen then the only apparent effort on your part was making a few selections using spasms website (MIUI Kitchen) and downloading a zip.
Does sharing the above mentioned ZIP file make it eligible for the Development section? It's not your creation right?
Wouldn't we rather cook our own ROM considering that we all can? Just saying you know.
Do correct me if any thing I said is incorrect. Or perhaps, just out of line.
If we all begin to post the roms that we cook using the MIUI kitchen, then development section would be a mess. With all my respect, I think this doesn´t deserve a thread in this section.

Don't worry fella. I wasn't out looking for a war of words either. I was honestly confused as to the purpose of this thread in the Dev section.
As a side note, if you have been around on this thread for a long time, you might recall the Doc's kitchen. And I don't mean the current iteration. I am referring to the original Kitchen where the Dev section had about 10 - 15 odd ROM's. Many Dev's built their ROM's around the ones generated off that online kitchen. But they always added their bit to make the ROM stand out of the crowd. Some made it better. Some skinned. Some added new features.
If you have a development background, you might consider doing the same.
i would like to have the knowledge to bouild my own rom. i don't know either where to start

Hey XDA members,
The All-Star team has noticed that there have been several questions being asked repeatedly (which is nothing new in the XDA forums)
and it tends to get... putting it in a nice way... bothersome and unnecessary.
With the amount of ROMs the team has at the moment, it is hard for us to keep track of the numerous amount of questions you may have.
Which is why we have decided to create this post to have any important questions and answers collected in to one thread.
Before you ask any questions on here, please make sure you check everything on this list:
1. Have you checked if the issue has been mentioned before or is currently being resolved
(we kindly ask you to please use the search bar, whether it be in this thread or the ROM threads)
2. Are using the latest version released for the ROM?
3. Carefully read and followed the instructions written in the OP?
4. Made sure your downloads were not corrupt?
5. Are using the latest recovery system? (recommend TWRP):
5. Flashed the ROM with all necessary steps? (i.e. wiping cache/dalvik cache)
6. Attempted flashing alternative kernels/radios?
7. Did not mess around with any critical settings? (i.e. performance settings, DPI, governors/schedulers)
8. Tried properly re-flashing the ROM again?
9. Made sure it is not a hardware issue? (i.e. broken power button, faulty battery)
10. Made sure the internal/external memory does not have any remnant files left used by a previous ROM?
(also, the micro SD card should be properly formatted, recommend to a FAT32 file system if it does not work properly with the ROM)
11. Tried flashing back to stock and installing the ROM again?
12. Try using a USB Jig if phone does not boot up at all and recovery/download mode button combinations do not work?
13. The question does not involve anything about ROM ETAs or ROM requests?
... the check list goes on, but those are the most important questions that are often asked by ROM support when there is an issue.
Additionally, these questions can be applied to any ROM.
If you have checked everything on the list above, please post your question in the following format:
Code:
Issue title: *keep this to a few commonly used words, in that way it can be found through the search bar*
Current ROM:
Previous ROM : *if applicable*
Current kernel:
Recovery system used: *CWM or TWRP*
Detailed description of the issue:
(Please copy and paste this format for your question, thank you)
The team will respond to your question as soon as possible, so just keep an eye out for new posts!
Also, as a courtesy it wouldn't hurt to hit the thanks button for anyone who has been a help. Thank you for your co-operation everyone!
//not sure if this is appropriate, but can this post be stickied? Thanks
This will help a lot. Thank you!

monkeybuttons apparently found a fix, you can find it here.
But before you do that, can you try this:
Go to your phone app/ press the menu hardware key/settings/ scroll down and enable Noise suppression? Once the option is checked off, try calling again and let us know if it works.
If the solutions above don't work, first try flashing an alternative radio. Then try flashing an alternative kernel if there is still an issue.
As a future reference for future posts, can everyone post your questions according to the format mentioned in the OP to look like this?
(example)
Issue title: Phone not working
Current ROM: All-Star ROM
Previous ROM : Old Rom
Current kernel: *Kernel used in All-Star ROM*
Recovery system used: TWRP 2.3.3.0
Detailed description of the issue: Phone does not do... etc
It is much easier to read the question that way, thanks!
Going to the phone app/settings and checking noise suppression worked! Thanks... Keep rocking!

So just got my sg2 back and i upgraded to all-star v6. As this is my first time dealing with new 4.1.2
I have a hard time understanding what the quick settings are used for.(the second row of toggles for WiFi, BT, ext...)
It seems redundant as it has the same options as the power widget buttons at the very top.
Can some one explain how to utilize this better or to remove the toggles.
I like the concept of quick settings as you don't have to navigate the settings menu. But don't like have two of something.
Thanks in advanced

Hm, that's strange. The kernel you are using most likely changed the settings for the accelerometer. Try flashing another kernel for your phone and wipe cache/dalvik as well. If you really insist on flappjaxxx's kernel flash it back again and see if the issue persists.
Now, when you do re-flash the h0tcakez kernel and rotation still does not work, there is not much you can do aside from trying to re-flash everything again including the ROM and kernel and hope that will fix it.
If you took the time to use the seach bar and look through the official kernel thread you would find that there are several people who had the same issue and were able to get it fixed in some way.
As mentioned first in the check list of the OP it clearly mentions to use the search bar to find previous mentions about the issue, trust me when I say "it does wonders".
But as of now it's no problem, just keep that in mind if you ever have an issue next time.

About the vibrations, there might be something in settings that can help you. If not, there's probably also an app that can help you. You can change the vibration intensity in settings. Before you click "choose default keyboard", you have to check off the one you want.

I bought a Galaxy S4 from my local T-Mobile store, and unhappy with several components of TouchWiz (and the bloatware), I decided to flash a custom Google-like ROM on it - finally choosing VirginROM. The thing is, since I haven't been posting in here, I can't ask my questions in the ROM's thread... Also, this is the first time I've flashed a ROM, or even a rooted a device, so some of my questions will be unrelated to the specific ROM I chose.
So here there be questions. Feel free to direct me to any appropriate guides and resources for the answers, I am as happy reading on my own as having the answer handed to me.
VirginROM Updates: It looks like the ROM is being updated pretty frequently. How do I update it? Through the system updates (that doesn't sound right), or by... re-flashing the ROM?
VirginROM addons: Same question. How do I install them?
Uh, my posting time was cut short. I'll add the other questions a little later. Those two were the big ones anyway.

You just flash them through recovery.
You install the addons through recovery as well.
Doing a full wipe when installing new updates is recommended but you can get away with just wiping cache & dalvik cache.
Are the updates being released as separate (small) archives, or as an updated version of the full ROM?

Usually most of the time is the full ROM updated. They'll let you know when its only an incremental update that you can just flash on top of the current version.

I see. A question for VirginROM users specifically then: does the latest version (2.0) support taking screenshots? I tried the default shortcuts, but they seem to be nonfunctional.

vol down & pwr button
That's weird... I could've sworn I tried that and it didn't work... Works now though, so all id good.
A couple more VR-specific questions then:
Lock screen widgets: do those work? I tried touching and holding around the lock screen, but all I get is the ability to resize the native clock widget and select the lock button (I use the slide option to unlock)
Contact merging: On my old phone I could choose to manually merge certain contacts (e.g. I could choose my phone contact "Alex" and then add my Facebook contact "Alexander S." and merge them even though the names weren't identical). Is this something I can do here somehow?
This is JB 4.3 and the API has changed to 18, so keep that in mind, it's also built from a leaked, test build. I am not sure about ur questions because this is not my daily driver. I know there is a camera if you slide the clock down and then slide the box right, and some additional if you slide left instead of right. Just ask in the VirginROM thread, it's much better to post ur questions there and to keep that thread active. Someone will definitely help you a lot quicker also, even mrvirginia himself, he is cool as hell, make sure to donate to him if you can as well.
To be perfectly honest, the only reason I am asking here is because I don't have the 10 posts required to post in the ROM's thread. As soon as I get there I'll ask my questions in the much more appropriate forum.

I have a question also. Where is the USB Debugging Icon on the systems menu. I'm reinstalling my apps from TB but it reminds that I need to check to see if my USB Debugging is on.
Virginrom is my 1st rom.
Thanks

Settings, about phone, tap the build number repeatedly until it enables Developer Options. USB debugging is in Dev Options

Lock screen widgets work perfectly. Make sure you swipe close to edge of screen.
Also, remember that this is Nexus- like, not Cyanogenmod-like. And very much different than Touchwiz. Most things work as they would on a Nexus. This rom runs extremely well. The battery percentage mod (flash in recovery) is highly recommended.
To add toggles to notification shade , try Widgetsoid, Power Toggles, or Settings Extended from the Play store. i have not seen a mod for Quick Settings toggles yet.

Hi,
I found it on my original software. But on the Virginrom ROM. I can't find it. Could it be engaged automatically?
Thanks

Settings -> About -> Hit the build number about 8 times.
Then go back and you should see the Developer options.
You can enable it there.

I been having an issue with Netflix running in your rom. The app keeps spinning and times out with an error message (-9) which means it can't connect to its servers. Is there any way to have this app flash upon install might correct it.
If I flash from Kit Kat to Lollipop in ODIN the Netflix App works just fine. OBTW Thanks for your continue effort to make this Rom work.

If you want to try this. This is a older version of netflix but it gets past the spinning screen for me. I dont have a login to check further but this may be a temporary fix. Just uninstall your current version and reinstall this. make sure it doesnt auto update if it works.

The Netflix APK is working but it won't play all of the movies. It's weird it plays some movies and the others it keeps on spinning. Thanks.
Netflix App Not Working
I am using version 2.7 of MoROM and have been quite pleased with it. Only problem is that I cannot get netflix app to stream now. The app opens into my account without problems on the version provided by the flashable on by MoROM but will not stream any selections. Any ideas for a fix would be appreciated.
Posting here as I don't have quite enough posts for the Dev forum.
Dirty flashed 2.8 > Button Restore > Dark theme and lost the Phone and Contact apps on Boot.
Reflashed 2.8 and Button Restore as the dark notification theme still had a few issues (quick reply buttons weren't themed and various artifacts from the light version still hanging out) and I wanted to try to get the phone part of my phone back to no avail. There is a post in the Dev forum about a guy who cleaned flashed 2.8 and has the same issue.
To give more light, I was able to install a 3rd party dialer from the play store which seems to work fine. Making a call from there ends up bringing me into the TouchWiz dialer/in-call screen which shows that the core of the phone app is still there, this might just be a launcher issue.

I had the same issue with a clean flash. The developer is looking into it now.
OEM Light Keyboard Not Working
The flashable zip file does not add the OEM Samsung Lollipop Keyboard. Please check the posted file and issue another working one if possible.
Thanks for the great work.
boot animation
Hey really nice rom! I was just wondering if it would be possible to flash the stock samsung boot animation?
Long Press Home button?
Anyone having the long-press for the home button not taking them to the search/google now/google app? It doesn't do anything. Maybe I've got a setting messed up somewhere. Can't figure it out though.
I just updated and that's the only thing I see missing.
Thanks for all the hard work!
Yes same here tried reinstalling clearing the defaults data cache.

This works for me. You may have something installed with xposed changing that button. Either way you can install gravity box and go to the navigation key section and change the longpress home button to whatever you want. I have mine set to open up recents but I just put it back to default and it opened google now. This is on the most recent update 4.0

Can I dirty flash 4.1 over 4.0.3.?
Upgrade from Jasmine ROM 1.0
Is it possible to take the upgrade directly from Jasmine ROM 1.0?
Thanks
Just received my DE Note 4 and uh oh....
Well, I don't have sufficient posts yet to post to the forum so I'll post here. I just realized after having my developer edition note 4 for only a week that i made the same mistake as two others on the forum of flashing the retail note 4 verizon firmware. ACHK! Sometimes I'm so INCREDIBLY STUPID!!!! Going to call Sammy to see what they will say. So so so stupid of me....
Update
So a quick update. Samsung will not over the phone say that they can help in any way. I'm hoping others have had better luck reflashing a DE Note 4 to stock firmware.
