[Q] Flash ROM & Theme before rebooting

I've had my GSII T-989 a little over a month, and it's been rooted for a couple of weeks and after reading many many posts I've finally decided on my first ROM - Tuesday Blu Ray. (I'm sure I'll be trying out many others too)! My question is; is it okay to flash the ROM and the MODs/fixes and that awesome theme 'Blu Pulsar' before my first reboot in CWR, or should I flash the ROM, let it settle for the recommended 10 minuets, then go back and flash the MODs/fixes and the theme?
I also created an update.zip of Titanium Backup; can I flash that right after flashing the ROM, or should I reboot before flashing anything else?
Thanks guys...I've spent many hours reading a lot of posts here and I'm excited to start trying out these ROM's. If not just a little anxious my first time too

I personally wait 10 minutes before I do ANYTHING else with the phone. I don't think it'll hurt it if you flash them before you boot for the first time but I wait. Just to be safe

Flash rom, flash updates/themds and reboot, ignore the n00bs, flashing a theme for the rom replaces apps like SYSTEMUI and framework, wont cause issues and actually a good idea..
At above, why double post for that? n00b..

He was actually right Mr.Doug
You run the risk of a bootloop if u flash a theme or u run the risk of unlimited forcecloses at boot.
Its like this.
Wipe
Flash Tom
Fix perms
Reboot and let the system settle
Then flash extras.

I hope Tom likes whatever you're flashing him.
But yeah you need the ROM to settle with the original files first. Why? Our phones are stubborn *****es.

Weird, I usually always end up having to reflash some part of the ui when I do a new build, I've never had issues..
Only issue I got this time around (was a fresh flash via CWM and reflash updated framework and systemUI, aswell as additional stock apps I forgot to put into build. Such as keis and a few others..) is simply my screencaptureservice.apk didnt compile right, and only mod I did was changing directory, which I've done before xD never had issues just flashin an update after installing

yeah there are times when something breaks or it just goes into bootloop, especially if the ROM is using a different launcher or something.
one time I was missing my status bar lol. It doesn't happen much on this device, but it did once. However, it happens a lot in other devices.

removal of moderated material
Your method of flashing may work but its not the ideal way. If you flash a new rom that way and have issues you will not be able to figure out the root cause. Also its not a good idea to keep calling some one a noob for a simple reply of what they suggest. If I see it again from you, you will be reported. Its this kind of attitude that's bringing down a community that's supposed to be helpful and respectful to everyone new or not.
Even though he called you one back the point is you started it.

[ROM] Stock rooted 6.3

In keeping with my tradition of providing stock rooted ROMs, I've re-packaged the new 6.3 update. As with my past ones, this is completely stock except for modifications that provide root access. It does not attempt to block OTAs in any way, and it does not contain any extras like the Market.
This is a full ROM, not an incremental update, so it will wipe your /system partition when installing. If you're coming from a non-stock ROM you'll want to wipe data/cache, but if you're coming from a previous stock ROM you should be okay. This is tested in CWM (it's what I have onhand right now) but TWRP should also work.
Changes between this and a completely stock 6.3 ROM are:
REMOVED FROM ROM
The new /system/bin/check_rooted binary
Stock recovery image
Stock bootloader image
That goofy userdata-backup.zip
ADDED TO THE ROM
Superuser
su
busybox
CHANGES
Removed the entry from init.omap4430.rc that ran check_rooted at boot.
Set ro.secure=0 so adbd runs as root (insecure boot version only)
updater-script doesn't attempt to install recovery, bootloader, or userdata-backup.zip file since they are not in the ROM.
updater-script won't check your /system partition's size before installing. This means it will install on a /system partition that's been resized, but I have not tested this. My assumption is that if you resized /system you'll know how to handle any errors that you may encounter.
I'm providing secure and insecure boot images, as with my past versions. For those unfamiliar, insecure means adbd runs as root on your Fire so you get a root shell when you use adb to connect (i.e. you get # by default). Secure gives you a user shell (the $) by default, but you can still use 'su' to elevate to root.
DOWNLOADS

I would say probably yes since it's mostly stock, but I've never tried so I can't say for certain. Worst case should be that you bootloop, at which point you can always go back into recovery and wipe data, too.

Perhaps the dumb question, shall I just download and flash it by TWRP like other CM Roms? Please excuse I am noob. Thank you

I've had CWM (and TWRP, actually) refuse to mount my cache partition in the past, and rebooting generally fixed it for me. Not sure if that's what's happening to you, though.

I recently repartitioned my KF following the guide you posted using the GNU parted method. What I did was increased my media storage and shrunk my cache partition to 350MB and userdata partition to 700MB, would those settings affect CWM in anyway? The other thing I noticed was after I get the error, I reboot and check the CWM folder to see if anything did save, and it looks like it doesn't compress the back up while saving it. I found a partial back up of 2.35GB after the error. This is a strange one
Update: okay figured it out. The problem was CWM was trying to back up the /sd-ext volume. I unchecked it in the advanced back up option and ran the back up without a hitch.

Can anyone confirm that the browser did not update to the newest version?
To access reading view, I was told "At the bottom of the display there is an eyeglass Icon tap it the screen says loading and you will have the view. Back arrow out of it."
I don't see an eyeglass icon on this rom.

It works for me, but only on certain web pages (I'm guessing ones that are text-heavy). Try viewing some random Wikipedia article, for example. The icon also doesn't appear until about a second or so after the page has completely finished loading.

Just bizarre, I am not getting it. I looked at wikepedia articles too. I am using the insecure rom if that makes a difference.
What version should the browser be now?
I have 1.0.13.328_10008910
Gonna go clear data, etc.
Well, heck, that did it. Thanks for that. Interesting feature!

Flashed this succesfully... but i neglected to wipe the system and accidentally flashed the 4.0 gapps package after. Boots fine but i am getting an android.process.acore FC and a Calender session FC. Any suggestions? I came from JC's ICS build and I am thinking of just going back to that.
Update. Nevermind. Just went back to ICS. The Stock Launcher gives me douche chills.

Swype?
Anyone who has Swype working on 6.2.1 or 6.2.2 installed this? If so can you tell me what happened to your Swype and were you able to get it working again?
I'm still on 6.2.1 (updates blocked with Droidwall) and went through so much hassles getting everything working *just* right, I'm trying to decide if the changes in 6.3 are worth potentially having to re-do Swype, market, calendar/contact sync, etc.
Edit: Any hope for an incremental update on this one? I loved the ones for 6.2.1 and 6.2.2.
Edit2: Any issues with market or calendar/contact syncs (for those of us who had set that up)?

[UTILITY] HellFire Kindle Nullifier 1.0

this is made by Volk released by me with his permission
The Nullifier.
This uses a special command in combination with a special file to overwrite the internal partitions with 0's, hence "Null" for 0 and "-ifier" for the fact that it does something. It also formats *all* the partitions afterward and *new* checks for, and repairs any errors on them.
Some brief need to knows:
1. This is a little lengthy process so please bear with it. The longest wipe is on /data which will take about 7 minutes. Obviously, make sure you have plenty of battery life before running it or are charging.
2. You *must not* power off your tablet without first installing a new ROM or restoring a nandroid after you use this. See post here:
3. I will provide help, support, etc., but I am not, nor is anyone else involved with this, responsible for any problems you may have in the extremely unlikely event that you do.
Folder:
http://www.mediafire.com/?unsvbx50wt3hh13
Q: Why not just format everything?
A: Because a format isn't intended to erase data, though to a degree does so. This script is intended and will wipe out the data and leave a clean set of partitions for a ROM to be installed to.
Q: (Submitted by Cargohook) Would it be idiotic or fruitless to run this and then restore a nandroid backup? I mean, would that defeat the purpose?
A: I highly doubt it would be a waste of your time. On an educated hunch, when you restore a nandroid all CWM does is format the partitions then load the data from the nandroid to those partitions; back to square 1 with old data being left behind.
Q: Why don't I get a message about formatting /boot?
A: Because it doesn't format /boot. Why? In testing I found that it doesn't need it. It's all a matter of how Android uses boot.img and how it's copied.
Q: Does this wipe Dlavik?
A: Technically. Dalvik is contained within /cache which gets Nullified so, yes. And see the following post regarding not needing to wipe the Dalvik on top of wiping /cache:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1564287
Q: Does this wipe internal or external SD? (added because it keeps getting asked)
A: In a word, no.
Q: Will using this cause nand-failure or make my phone unusable if used too much?
A: In my opinion, no. In other's, yes. To give you a better answer, please see Overground's post on that subject here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=327
(Thanks for the objective opinion overground)

OK when I get some time later I'll test it with twrp.
Edit: testing with twrp now, I'll post back battery % used and total time spent nullifying when it completes. Dual wipe, so just half it for a single pass.
Edit 2: here's my findings using dual pass on twrp:
Starting battery 81% at 11:31am
Dual wipe end 77% 11:46am
Install hfks
After flash 76% 11:47am
Reboot
75% 11:51am at system start
Using this information you should get an idea of how much battery is minimum required for nullifying and flashing a rom then rebooting into the system. Works perfectly fine with twrp, so twrp and cwm users rejoice, we have nullifire for the KF! Thanks to Volk and hell for releasing this tool.

Sorry to sound like a noob, but I've never used a script through twrp. How do you do it? I usually just run scripts with from toolbox but don't want to try and have it get screwed. Thanks a lot, I know its probably really simple, just wanted some steps to do it.
Nick B

Its the same as flashing a rom, just pick the nullifier zip instead of a rom. I'm working on a video to show the process in twrp, but for now here goes....
Boot into your recovery ( twrp or cwm doesn't matter), pick install zip from SD card, go to where you have the nullifire.zip, select it, and hit flash. After its done be sure to restore a nandroid or flash a rom, never power down or reboot without one or the other being done first! Also make sure to have 30% or more battery, or be plugged in before starting.

its simple. Download the script. then reboot into twrp or cwm then install the script.. once its done then install your chosen rom... wait for it to be done. fix permissions then reboot and enjoy.. super simple and super cool..

No biggy, I think its a little confusing as its referred to as a script, and generally those are in a zip file, extracted, then run in system, not flashed through recovery.

The concept to its use is to minimize bugs caused by left over data. The wipe process of cwm and twrp is a format, it deletes the arrows pointing to where data is, but the data remains intact. It allows the system to overwrite the data. Nullifier overwrites the data itself with zeros, making it so no leftover data is there to cause problems later, then formats afterwards for rom use. Essentially leaving a blank slate to read and write from without worries of old data creeping in.

[Q&A] CM10 anything & everything [Updated 1-29-13]

LET ME KNOW IF I'M MISSING SOMETHING THIS IS GOING TO BE A WORK IN PROGRESS AS IT'S BEING UPDATED AND THINGS ARE CHANGING RAPIDLY.
For t999 and variants as far as I know only.
Alright well, this is for CM10 and Kangs (NOT AOKP), nothing against AOKP I love AOKP, but their issues might not be so close as to what CM has, even though they'll probably be the same. I have been here long enough to understand the lingo and how to and what not to do. This is a general ask and wait for an answer. READ BEFORE POSTING ... I'll do my best to keep the OP updated with info and will add what people post with stuff that needs to be known.
HAVE ROOT AND CUSTOM RECOVERY BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER.
I suggest the latest recovery from Goo Manager or ROM manager from the play store. This will prevent multiple /0 folders from happening.
We have Nightly's in the mix for 10.1 http://get.cm/?device=d2tmo
JellyBean Gapps 12-12-2012: http://goo.im/gapps
Changelog: http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#d2tmo/cm10/next
Advanced Gerrit: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/status:open,n,z
HAVE ROOT AND CUSTOM RECOVERY BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER.
Install Instructions:
1. Boot into recovery - while powered off, enter recovery by pressing Vol UP, Home Button, and Power Button until you see the second screen and blue text on top left corner, then let go.
2. Select wipe data/factory reset
3. Select mounts and storage, select format /system ( I always do this out of habit... do it if you want or don't, CM does this anyways I think, again old habit)
4. Install ROM from where ever you placed it.
5. Install Gapps from where ever you placed it.
6. Reboot let sit for a little after signing in, again old habit especially if I restored from Google Account. Then after 5-10 minutes reboot into recovery and select advanced and fix permissions Just in Case.
List of broken things from Cyan's post that's in the OG Dev section
Updates! CM 10.1
*3.4 kernel is new and being worked on daily. As of 3-29 its messed up and causes hotboots. 3-30 should be fixed
*Phone calls hanging up will cause a freeze it seems, or a reboot. Also should be fixed in 3-30 build.
*A2DP is still having issues here and there, but that's android in general with cars I think.
*VoIP is acting up a little with sound, low sound from other person, and echo on their end, reports have been all over the place with this.
*Speaker phone while in call, has Echo, echo, echo... need confirmed fix please.
*Go to settings about>phone build and tap 8 times to become an awesome developer.
*No WiFi-Calling most likely never will hapen
800+ CM10/.1 THEMES Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801752
*Don't ask about having Samsung Features (smart stay, S , and such), and some of those features are in the play store.
-as with all roms on this phone Settings>Dev Options>scroll down to window/transition animation scales to .5... faster!
-Settings>display>Notification Light>+ sign to make new apps have LED settings and different colors...
Any other cool features let me know I'll add them.

CM10 issues (nightly 12-16 latest)
*Instagram is broken while editing photos to make you look like a pro photographer. (build prop edit by elesbb)
This should fix some weird stuff that is going on with graphics.

*I think streaming music W/bass on bluetooth is broken, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG.

Starting this off with a quick and easy question:
What would be the best way to upgrade to the custom recovery? I'm on v5.5.0.4 non-touch CWM Recovery right now and it won't let me flash CM10 at all.

I upgraded to CWM 5.8.4.5 Touch Recovery via Terminal Emulator and have no issues at all with any thing.

Hey boss, I believe there is a newer version of Gapps out, dated 7-26-12.

As long as you're rooted you should just be able to download Rom Manager from the Play Store and flash the latest CW Recovery (non-touch).

Woot! That's what I get for not searching first.. Hopefully someone else finds that useful.

unless a fix was posted that I missed there's a bug with outgoing calls where you have to turn speaker on then off in order to have the mic work..

I think you would probably get an error upon trying to install from SD card..best to upgrade to latest recovery just incase before you flash anyways. I used touch cwm and it worked perfectly

I've yet to have an issue with answering/sending calls and sound working or not. Just tested outgoing by leaving myself a voicemail. And got a phone call about 10 minutes ago and answered and started talking without issue.

Just make sure if the ROM doesn't come with a TW kernel, that you flash one along with the TW ROM.

I think you would probably get an error upon trying to install from SD card..best to upgrade to latest recovery just incase before you flash anyways. I used touch cwm and it worked perfectly

Stock Rom Features
Do you guys think that this rom will ever have some of the features the stock rom has?
I really love this rom even though its a preview i flashed it the day the last release came out and and since then its been my daily driver.
But i miss the burst shot with the camera, Playing Video while sending a text or whatever, Smart Stay, and the remove all button in the recent apps menu..

[HOW-TO][GUIDE] So you want to install CM10 alpha on your Retail Droid Razr M? 11-16

SO YOU WANT TO INSTALL CYANOGENMOD?
SO! You might be new to Motorola, or Android, or Maybe even smartphones in general! I put together this Guide/Thread to help anyone new to the RAZR M with the installation and usage of Cyanogenmod on this phone!
First of all, i just want to say thanks to Hashcode, dhacker29, and any others who helped make this a reality on the Droid Razr M
NO ONE, OTHER THEN YOU, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING YOUR PHONE INTO A PAPER-WEIGHT!! YOU ARE TO BLAME!
Before we flash, we must understand, there WILL be bugs at the beginning. most notably, Camera, WiFi and calls are a bit wonky so make sure this will work for you!​
Requirements:
A rooted Droid RAZR M (either jellybean or ice cream sandwich, preferably jb ota)
The newest Safestrap.apk link (3.05.20 at the moment)
Rom of choice.
Now we have
CM10
CM10.1 Preview
AOKP alpha
The latest gapps for Jellybean Gapps
Steps for Installation:
0) Make sure you're rooted!!! This WILL NOT WORK UNLESS YOU'RE ROOTED!!!
1) Download ALL of the files above and put them in a place where you will remember, for me, i put them on the root of my SD Card.
2) Locate the Safestrap APK on the sd card using a file manager and install it.
3) Open the Safestrap application. You should get a popup from Superuser asking for permission. Allow it.
4) Next, hit the "Install Recovery" option and wait. This should only take a couple of seconds.
5) After safestrap is installed, power off the device. Once its off, power it back on. After the Motorola Splash screen, there should be a new, Safestrap screen. we're getting there!
6) On this safestrap screen, it should say "Safestrap Disabled" in red letters with the words "recovery" in the bottom left and "Continue" in the bottom right. Hit "Recovery"
7) Safestrap should boot up now. The screen will look like TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) to those that are familiar with twrp.
7.5) (OPTIONAL) Make a backup of your stock rom by pressing backup and sliding to backup.
8) Now, we must set up a Rom Slot. In the Safestrap menu, press "Boot Options" in the top left, which will have a blue outline.
9) Next, press ROM-Slot-1. System Partition and Cache Partition cannot be changed but the Data partition can. I recommend using 1 gb, unless you plan on installing a lot of apps.
10) This should take a while. After it is complete, the new Rom Slot is activated, meaning it will boot from that new slot from now on.
11) Press the home button to return back to the main screen. Now that we have a rom slot, we can install Cyanogenmod! From the main screen press "Install". It should launch and File Explorer-like UI with your SD Card already loaded. If it is on your SD Card, just scroll down until you see the rom and press it. Then slide to unlock.
12) After the rom installation is complete, we must install the Google apps (Gapps for short). When the installation is complete, hit the back button and find your Gapps package. install it like we installed Cyanogenmod. After the install, hit reboot system.
13) We are done! When you reboot, you should see the Motorola splash screen and then the safestrap screen, BUT, it will say "Safestrap Enabled" now and the picture will look different. Either wait the 10secs or press the "Continue" button on the bottom left. You should boot into Cyanogenmod
FAQ:
Q) Would you recommend installing the Cyanogenmod 10 Alpha?
A) Absolutely! Although it may not be a daily driver, its a good taste of what to come and VERY stable for a first release.
Q) Is it reversible?
A) Yes! 110%! If you want to go back to stock, but keep the CM10 on the rom slot, just go back into boot options, press the "Stock" option and hit activate. It should boot stock motorola android
Q) This is great! Who should I throw my money at?
A) Hashcode and dhacker29. They are awesome and TOTALLY deserve donations.
Q) This sucks! It made my phone come to live and eat my dog! Who do i blame?
A) Yourself. You take the responsibility for what you do to your phone. Not hashcode, dhacker or me.
If you run into errors, have questions, or any suggestions, don't be shy to post in here
Mods, I was unsure wether to post in General or Development, so if this is considered development, you can move it

Awesome guide. I have been playing with CM all day after it was released last night and loving it. However, I had trouble mounting my sdcard while attempting to install. I ended up using adb to push the zip to the new rom while in recovery and it worked like a charm. I am assuming that this might work for people without an sdcard at all. Perhaps this is worth noting? I am not quite sure, this is my first smartphone

Yeah. The sd card is mounted pretty strangely in safestrap. I think it may be why hashcode was working out a few bugs. I'll fix up the guide in the am

Alright. This is definitely a good guide though! Keep up the good work.

The SD card is located as /external_SD/ in recovery, you can choose internal or external bubble but either way keep going up directories, until you get to the root, then locate the /external_SD folder
Also I suggest putting this link in op
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/10/16/droid-razr-hd-razr-m-and-atrix-hd-all-rooted/
So people can have the proper tools with which too root with or else safe strap and cm are pointless
And I have a thread in dev section with extra stuff and tips for making cm10 faster check it out maybe merge some of the links or info here?

I saw the directory, but it wasn't mounting. I have a feeling it has to do with my sdcard however. It's a pretty old card.

Has anyone tried this on the JB leak? I haven't done the OTA b/c I'm a little lazy to restore and etc. At least I have titanium backup.

Was thinking I may be able to get some help in here. I just got my RAZR M yesterday, rooted and Safestrap and running Pimp My Rom scripts. In Pimp My Rom I can download BeatsAudio as a .zip. I downloaded it but can't figure out how to flash it via Safestrap. The install tab in Safestrap is inaccessible to me.

Are you still using the stock ROM? Flashing to the stock is disabled atm.

what paul said ^.
if you really want to flash something, try making a backup, setting up a rom slot, and restoring to the rom slot. that'll allow flashing, idk if itll work though.

Ah yea I'm on stock. If I was to set up a rom slot and restore to it it would just be identical to what I'm currently running correct? And by restoring to a rom slot my current slot wouldn't be harmed or modified correct?
