So i'm fairly new in these things (custom ROMs and such), and recently installed Hashcode's cyanogen mod from here.
After failing the first time and temporarily bricking my kindle (after making the stupid decision to wipe all my data), I luckily managed to get the rom into the data folder and flashed it from there with TWRP. So now i've got the mod working, but for some reason, the wifi isn't working. I try to turn it on but it doesn't seem to be detecting anything.
Anyway, i've searched around that this problem does tend to happen with certain ROMs, and I wanted to know if this is a current limitation of the unofficial release. I'd post in the other thread, but i'm a new member ,etc. so I thought i'd try my luck here
Works for me..

I'm sure Hashcode himself would help you if you joined the freenode irc channel, #kindlefire-dev or #kf2-dev . All you have to do is show up and ask for help.

It also worked for me. Did you use the "20130131 image here: http://tinyw.in/CBnF
Did you install / flash the Gapps zip from TWRP?

I would consider reflashing both entirely,

wifi connectivity on the wifi chip is not the best. Amazon's choice was bad there, and I'm talking to hash about what could be going wrong in the wifi firmware department.
I recently rooted this thing and I have a question.. for what ever reason I cannot for the life of me restore my back up with TWRP, I've tried every combination there is to try and restore my back up and nothing works, it's saying failed to restore in bold red letters. I'm no noob, I've been rooting for a long time but goddamn this device it's the only device that's given me this many issues with TWRP. Has anyone experienced this issue, any help would be appreciated, I've searched and can't seem to find a answer.
Thanks!

No oficial TWRP yet,so....

Which twrp are you using? Try this one:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=962021903579490303
It's not perfect, but it backs up & restores properly.
Thanks for this, I'll give it a shot over the weekend. Taking a break from this damn device and using the essential for the time being.

I tried your twrp, I installed it fine without any problems but the folders in storage are a mess, can't sense of where anything is at?
Have you come across this?

Yep, it does sound like it's encrypted. Best thing to do is pull your personal files off the phone, format data, immediately boot back into recovery, then you can install a ROM & your personal files. Long process if you have a lot of files, but that's about the only way.
I think any miui ROM will encrypt data.

ok I'll look in it, thanks.
It's been awhile since I've been on any Android forum. But recently I got a Redmi Note 8, and I looked up the whole process on Unlocking, Unlocking the Bootloader, and Rooting. I usually use a Galaxy phone and due to certain features possible being unusable, I refrain some doing any type of mod to it. SO i was excited to mod the gingko. I followed all the steps on the guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...de-unlocking-bootloader-twrp-rooting-t4031831
Did everything succesfully, although I cant get the phone to pass ctsProfile in Magisk, but thats another unrelated problem. Anyway, I am new to using TWRP, previous phones I used to flash mods used CWM so I'm bit unfamiliar with TWRP troubleshooting. I tried searching for this already but couldnt find anything. Im tying to create a backup but whenever it tried to backup the system image, it fails. I tried backing up the boot, data, and system image. System Image fails. I tried backing up all partitions and it still fails on the System Image. I'm excited to flash the roms on here but dont want to revert to full stock everytime something comes up and have to re-configure the phone. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
im like you, im used to flashing samsungs htc's etc, seems like new phone roms are different, to say marshmallow lollipop kitkat etc, im reluctant as you
i used to backup in twrp, system,data(excl storage)cache,boot,modem,efs, now its all different, i have found no definitive answer as to what to backup and not, i read destroyed system etc bricked etc etc, i have never bricked a device, but this new system confuses me, no do's or dont's, or this will happen... it would be nice to have, dont so this or x will happen, flashing homebrew vs xiaomi roms, this will happen, do this for homebrew, this for xiaomi roms seem convoluted compared to the past.

I definitely believe the earlier days were easier. This was back during the GingerBread days, then HoneyComb was skipped by my device at the time and ICS became the big bad boy on the playground. Less security measures, easier exploits, etc. A lot of stuff has remain the same. I think the hardest part with Xiaomi was waiting the 168 hours to unlock the phone.
Also I think I answered my original question. i had my backup set to go to the sd card and when I changed it to internal storage, it finally backed up all. I did a little research and from what I saw you should be backing up boot, data, and system. I saw system image and not system so I was confused. Looked up a couple more things and just like backing up a computer, it doesnt hurt to backup everything. So I backed up every single partition.
I also know I can backup using adb, just wanna make sure I have a backup on my phone in case I'm nowhere near my computer. 1 backup on phone, 1 backup on computer. Not really worried about bricking my little gingko since it's not the actual phone I used.

Oh man, CWM recovery, the good old days lol
Which TWRP version are you using? Official? Try unofficial one https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...ecovery-unofficial-twrp-xiaomi-redmi-t3997267
If still no luck, try PB recovery or OrangeFox, its based on TWRP with theme and more features.
I suggest you join telegram channel, its more active

haha cwm vs twrp tried both over the years, different phones etc, twrp imho had a better interface, and updates..but it had one glitch, sometimes on versions it would not save region and time, but thats all the by and by now, i assume..we have orangefox now, nad has that fixed the time error?
im still reluctant to root my note 8t, probably sell it, as it has not led notification sadly, probably get the note 8 pro.

I was using the official one, I think its version 3.3.1.0 or something like that. I think I'm gonna try the unofficial cause I want to flash CrDroid. Seems like the ROM which the least amount of issues but I'll probably flash a new rom every week to see which one is best.
Telegram? Is that like discord? I'll have to look more into this. But yeah good old CWM days. I think the last time I did any flashing was back in like 2013-14.

Unoffical one is 3.3.1.10, just give it a try.
Yeah, like a discord, messanger app basicly.
There is custom roms and kernel which you can only find in telegram group
Oh, every Android 10 custom rom had issue with camera. Yellow tint and aux camera. So, if camera is important to you just stick in miui roms for the moment, xiaomi eu for example.
But, if you just want some adventure for your phone, go for it. Try GSI too, there is alot of it.

Camera isnt a big deal. I've seen that all AOSP roms have that camera issues from reading the reads. Kinda sucky for people that want to use daily drivers.
I've had my pixel for some time and still don't fully understand how to test roms on the phone - more specifically how to backup/restore. (I have always used twrp in the past).
Currently I am on the stock rom - I would like to try ricedroid , lineage and possibly go back to stock . I have no issues installing roms, what is unclear is what/how has to be backed up ( i have neo installed) and how to go back to a previous rom ,retaining data. Is it even possible?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks
Hmm - guess the lack of any response indicates that either my question is too stupid to bother replying to or that there is no simple way to test roms on this device.
I'm not sure of the question in general or how to answer it. I just normally just flash robs and then I will go back and reinstall all my apps again
I guess my question might be confusing.
I have always tested in a twrp environment. Things were simple - do a nandroid backup to an external device and test away. If I ever wanted to go back I would restore the backup in 3 simple steps.
In comparison testing on a pixel is a multistep process which leaves a lot of margin for error. All I was trying to determine is if there is a simpler way of going about it.

Unfortunately, the old days of nandroid backups are gone. I use swift and google one to backup my data and apps. I clean flash every new rom and restore data. it definitely takes longer than restoring a nandroid backup.
I do know that someone was working on TWRP at some point no ETA with that coming out.
Did someone say TWRP? I'm hopeful that once Android 13 TWRP comes out someone will port it to 6 pro. As for your question, there's no easy way to restore a back up. You have to install everything from scratch most of the time unless you dirty flash a ROM.

Sadly I've arrived at that same conclusion - hence this post (hoping). I don't think I'll be testing too many roms on the p6p. I would like to replace the stock rom - now it's a matter of deciding which rom suits my needs best and will be updated for the foreseeable future.
\Ricedroid and lineage are the 2 I've narrowed it down to.

I'd suggest you check CrDroid if you haven't had a look at It yet. You can also load GSI if you don't want to flash everything all the time but support is limited and it may or may not work. Until TWRP is out, our options are limited
Wanted to keep a thread for each one opinion on custom roms and why do you choose the rom you are using?
i have tried al custom roms and i always love to flash different ones,
What do you notice regarding stability? performance? battery ? bugs? etc in the rom you are using.
Love to hear all your opinions on this matter.
last time i flashed a custom ROM 10years ago. No need to flash anything since. All factory stock.
All i did for every phone is bloatware removal via ADB
I've only ever used the stock rom since I've had this phone. Using A11, A12 and now A13.
Only 1 annoyances during my time with this phone and stock ROM. ( Camera related blue light bleeding in a very bright artificially lit scenario )
Always stock rom with Root these days
Holy smokes. It's ok to not answer a question if it doesn't apply. Pardon my double negative.
I've been contemplating moving on from to stock to custom, when I came across this thread and thought, well this will be great; several viewpoints about several custom roms, but instead came across a few responses that didn't answer the question that was asked.
It's hard to sift though the roms' threads because, in most cases, you'll see "this is a great rom, everything works perfectly", almost immediately followed by "stuck in a boot loop", "looks like msm again", or "xyz is borked, please fix".
So, to reiterate og's question, what are the thoughts on the custom roms (not stock) for the 1+9pro (not a device from your past)?
Nameless seems to be the most stable out of the custom roms, but lacks more in depth customization. CrDroid and Watchdog are better for customization, but more features usually means more bugs.
I've tried tons of the roms on here and will probably continue to do so as stock OOS just doesn't do it for me. Battery isn't ideal, and aesthetically it's hard to configure to what I like. It definitely works for a lot of people as it has many features and is mostly stable.

You favor nameless I'm guessing?
It depends on the day honestly. I have a disease, haha. As of right now that's what I'm using. But I'm sure I will flash something else here in the next week.

I'm currently on stag os 13, beta from october with a pair of important bugs... however probably I will flash another one tomorrow. I have to decide first which one xD
However I would ask you what are the steps now for flashing another android 13 rom, considering I'm on android 13 and I prefer not do a clean install (dont want to do any wipes as I have my phone tweaked and fully oriented for privacy)
Los20 Google free
Without gapps, store and ps apps
been on nameless for about 6 months, no complaints
Running my own fork of LineageOS 19 with features cherry-picked from other ROMs (nothing against them but I don't need the extra 30 fazillion features they offer when a handful of features I want does the job just fine). Once LineageOS 20 builds resume with fixes for some of the major issues in place (see the LOS 20 thread for OP9Pro), I'll be upgrading to the New Hotness (I've already made the necessary changes and tested them on my OP7Pro test phone, I'm just waiting for the all-clear for the OP9Pro).

Oof, that's a tough one. You could *attempt* to do a dirty flash of the rom you're wanting to flash. Although, I wouldn't recommend. I've read that people do it with little side effects, but I've also seen people with lots of bugs.
What I typically do is use swiftbackup for SMS and apps, then just restore those on the new rom. But, depending on what tweaks you've applied, that might make things more difficult. As far as I know, there's not a way to restore everything, especially if the tweaks are specific to the rom. Maybe someone else might know a way?
I kept mine as stock w/root since I got it. Just reflashed and I was blown away with how much nicer it feels. Even with the amount of work I'd done to kill bloatware, background processes, etc on the stock rom.

thanks for your answer mate
I didn't touch anything specific to the rom nor kernel. Only much app config and some processes freezing.
So I will save apps+data with my old friend titanium backup pro, don't know another method to do :/
By the way, I will lose root if I do clean flash or can I save that any way?
I guess a clean flash instructions should be something like this?
Extract recovery package zip
Reboot to bootloader & connect your phone to PC
Double click on flash.bat
Reboot to recovery home page & tap Factory reset > Format data/factory reset
Back to recovery home page & tap > Apply update > Apply from ADB
Now sideload rom using command adb sideload <rom_filename>.zip
Now reboot to system.

Of course, glad I could contribute. Swiftbackup will do data for apps as well, but titanium backup should work too if that's what you prefer.
Yep, there's a couple ways to do it, and that will work. As far as root, you will definitely lose it, but you can either sideload magisk:
- download magisk APK and rename to .zip file
- after sideloading rom finishes, reboot to recovery
- sideload magisk.zip
Or
- follow root guide on this forum
Tried about every rom posted that I can find. A lot of nice roms, depends on what you want for customization. The one I prefer is Xtended. Been back and forth since A11 each one a little nicer. The latest -- v5 is best for me. I always go back to it. Currently on stock OOS13. Not all that bad with little tweaking. My disappointment is the lack of kernel development for the phone after A11. I guess the sources released by OnePlus a mess. Waiting for Ancient to be released. Could be nice.

I followed the method u mention and worked fine
For my words seems I am a newbie but only old hahahah, don't blame on me. I'm on this world of customization/tweaking phones since the old htc one and the first iPhone, so every day it costs me more as I increase my laziness year every passing year xD

Haha, glad I could help! Memory is my biggest downfall as well, so you're not alone lol
Other backup options I like - tarb and Neo Backup. Swift I don't like because it only stores the latest backup, and the google play tied licensing is annoying when bouncing between various devices.
Used to love titanium backup but it never works successfully for me anymore
