All tmobile M919 custom roms are located in the Tmobile M919 forum.
Does not matter what the name of the rom is or what the filename is.
Be sure to do a full wipe before flashing any roms.
A full wipe includes Cache, Dalvik Cache, System, Data
and last but not least a factory reset it twrp or cwm recovery.
Be sure to make a nandroid backup in recovery before flashing anything.
Good luck!
Aroma installer is an installer that will give you a list of options you want in the ROM and will then install the ROM based on your selections.. And I agree with Misterjunky, just follow his steps and you can't go wrong.. Except I would say a data wipe is not really necessary because that will wipe your internal SD

where do I install it and do you install it on your computer or your phone? OR is it on the rom already?

so its just like installing any other rom? you don't need an installer to do it? you just flash it with like twrp or something? that's what im trying to ask
Its just like any other ROM. The difference is that aroma has an interface which let's you pick and choose what you want installed. A lot of the aroma installers include themes and other mods you'd have to download and flash separately all-in-one. Its not even necessary to wipe before an aroma installation because it includes the option to fully wipe and/or just wipe caches. Hope that helps

Ok ima make it as clear as possible, it looks like you've rooted your phone and have a custom recovery, many people recommend team win recovery project (twrp) to install wicked, but if you can't find it that's fine, go into the playstore and download and App called ROM MANAGER now after you install it select RECOVERY SET UP and flash clock work mod recovery, you really don't need twrp I know that because I use cwm.
anyways once you have the recovery installed download wicked but before you flash it make sure that the MD5 matches the one on the website you've downloaded it from the md5 can be found on your file browser but you'll need file manager from the playstore and now look at the details for wicked and the md5 will be loading for a bit and once it's done it will show u the code so now make sure it matches otherwise it will just give u an error when you flash it.
Ok so now that you're ready to flash the rom, if your using twrp select wipe or wipe data, and it will automatically wipe you cache, dalvik and factory reset. For cwm press FACTORY RESET, WIPE CACHE and then go to ADVANCED and select WIPE DALVIK CACHE and now go to INSTALL ZIP (both recoveries) and select the 0/ folder and go to downloads and select it and it will take you to another set up and that's the aroma installer.
Now that you're in it just keep going forward until you see what you want installed from what theme you want, apps from Samsung and tmobile, other cameras from other phones like nexus or the Google edition of the s4 and once you keep pressing all the way to the end it will say GET WICKED and it will install whatever you've selected on aroma, then after it finishes it will say REBOOT and once the phone takes u to the set up screen don't touch it, leave there for 5-10 mins and then reboot and that's it

I tried a ROM update today (Magnolia) and my phone is now seriously slow (including SpeedTest which shows about 50Kbps download speed). I attempted to reinstall the same ROM and to restore a Nandroid (neither of which has helped). I did every wipe present in CWM v2.5.1.2 (I know v3.x.x.x is not a good wiper) and in HBOOT, also all to no avail.
It is possible that the ROM is focused on carefully updating itself rather than completely overwriting.
Does anyone have a recommendation as to the best way to really ensure that no old runaway processes are surviving the flashes (ROM or Nandroid)? I am wondering if flashing another ROM would do it (it wouldn't try to update), but am very open to suggestions.
Thanks!
I had the same problem when I would install a rom with the CW 3.0.0.8 and it will just update the current rom, and not do a full wipe like I just to get before with the CW 2.x.x.x what I have done to get a clean install is this...
- I dont use the Rom Manager no more to update...
- Boot into Recovery and do the Following before you install a new Rom..
1-) Wipe Data/ Factory Reset
2-) Wipe Cache Partition
3-) Install the Rom .Zip with CW
Thats how I have done it before hope it helps...
Dont use rom manager to install go into recovery. Do a factory reset twice, then goto mounts and storage and format manually, data, cache, system, boot. Do that twice or more and youre super wiped as you put it. But as far as magnolia goes...did you make sure that you dl'd the flashover and not the whole rom?

Pete - Thanks. I never use RomManager to do ANYTHING (and remain surprised that people do). I do factory reset and wipe in CWM but never formatted system; which I just posted in the Magnolia forum as being what I thought is causing all the trouble. At least this lets me know how to manually do it. Thanks

Building on this- I do EVERYTHING from recovery. In addition to the steps listed I also go to "mounts and storage" and wipe /system, /data, /cache, and /boot. Eradicate!

Its completely different now then it was in the good ol RUU windows rom days, now you download the rom and put it on your SD, do a Full wipe then flash
1. Make sure your rooted with a Custom Recovery (IE Clockworkmod Recovery)
2. Boot into Recovery and do a Nandroid backup just incase things go horribly wrong.
3. Do a full wipe*: Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, and Wipe Dalvik Cache
4. Flash your rom from your Sd (IE Install Zip in CW)
5. Reboot
*It's usually recommended to do a Full Wipe when flashing between different roms, but if flashing to a new version of the same rom I would go with whatever the Dev advises,
Awesome! Thanks for the update!

Hello guys, I would like to know how to update my ROM using dalvik cache? I have Foxhound ROM 0.3 and i would like to install the 0.4. Can anyone help me ?
Hi Mate
You don't update using the Dalvik Cache. The Dalvik Cache is just something that is best to clear before an update.
In order to flash a new ROM there are a few things you need to have set up on your computer and phone and they are well detailed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
Read the above thread and find out what has already been done. I think your phone will be Bootloader Unlocked and Rooted already. If so flash the latest Clockwork Recovery Mod CWM and then just download the ROM you want and store it on your phone. Once done you will be able to use the above link to easily write it to your phone using CRM and the Flash Update from SD Card Option.
Hope this helps.

Ummm. he doesn't have to read that thread..
Just simply download the ROM
Put it on your phone's storage
Boot into CWR
Wipe Dalvik and Cache
Flash ROM
[OPTIONAL] Flash Kernel (if you used one a custom kernel)

If you flash another rom, will your apps be wiped as well? And if you flash an update from the same rom? Just back-up with Titanium or? Thanks.

I am new to rooting and rom'ing. I was able to root my Hercules using clockwork 6.0 and was in the process of installing cm10 and it froze up, and after i rebooted it got stuck in a boot loop. I did do a back up of my stock rom and have gotten it to factory reset back to astock rooted rom, not sure if it is my backup stock rom. The process that I read to rom it is to install darkside wipe, then cm10, then gapps. I have wiped data, cache and davlik cache, i am trying to get it to install cm10, but it doesn't seem to want to install. what should i do to get it to start over and get cm10 rom on?
I would only use the Darkside wipe scripts on CWM 5.X. Use Odin to reflash the recovery of your choice and then format system, factory reset, and then flash CM10.

Thanks, I didn't know that, guess the instruction i found were a little outdated. I'll try your suggestion. What do mean by formattin it? (I thought the factory reset does that?) Also how long should it take for cm10 to install?

Formatting the system only formats the /system partition and wipe data formats the /data partition.
What do you mean?

You missed /System as well [hence why the stock ROM booted again otherwise if you actually formatted where the ROM was there is no backup ROM.
You should move to Jellybean [I have used ParanoidAndroid as a daily druver for months now and it is newer [Android 4.1.2].,
No matter which ROM you choose, first boot phone
download ROM Manager [Free is fine]
Open it, grant Super User
Tap top-most option to install Clockwork Recovery and it will walk you through getting etiher the non-touch for free or paying $2 for touch recovery [unless you flashed that via Odin then skip], but need to be sure you have newest CWM and not an old one from a rooting guide that been around.
Boot to recovery wi[e cache
tap advanced wipe dalvick
go back one menu
go to mounts and storage tap to wipe system, and data
go back one menu to main
tap install zip from SDCard
Tap internatl or external wherver you saved it and find the CM 10 you downloaded and tap and flash it
do the same but find where you saved the gapps pack
now restart device and enjoy
continual boot loop...tried everything here.

I got cm10 on for about 20 minutes then CWM updated to 6.x. I flashed a nightly and it's been in a bootloop ever since. However, when I was on CM10 those few brief minutes I could not hear or he heard on a call.
No idea what to do now. I'm stuck on 2.3.6 unless there's some other trick I can do to get this thing to boot...
Why not just try a different rom? Lots of options out there.
Also, watch the dates on the how to's you read. A lot can be outdated.

Hi all, I had flashed successfully before but wanted to flash to a JB rom. I wiped and flashed, but then it just keeps looping the Samsung load screen, then I see the loading bar... and it reboots and goes back to the loading bar... Did I mess something up? Or is it suppose to do this the first time?
Sometimes it gets as far as the t-mobile 4G screen and the loops back again...
Thanks
What did you wipe?

And what did you wipe with?
If you used an older clockwork mod recovery, you probably need to update your recovery or get one of the updated wipe scripts on this forum.

I tried to flash Infamous S2 as well as Jedi Mind Trick. After more reading, I also flashed the "wipe" zip file that was linked. After I flashed that clean wipe, all is well. For some reason when I did the usual wipe wipe (with CWM), stuff probably didn't get over written.
All is well and working smoothly now with Jedi Mind Trick

it's a combination of how partition gets accessed vs custom recovery(in this case type of wipe) that cause that bootloop.
Provided you didnt have a bad download(.zip bein flashed) If it's a custom ROM suffice to say u need Darkside super wipe.
Unless its a stock (modded) ROM then Infamous super wipe is the way to go.
Hit thanks if/when it helped.
