Root Chainfire3d and Admire

[sukuoru]

I understand that Chainfire3d said that it's only for 1ghz+ devices, but I've heard of people using it on their admire.

The issue I had with it, was that after installing the normal way (I didn't try the cwm method) my gallery was all sorts of screwed up. I'll reinstall and take a screenshot if need be, but I figure someone else must have had this issue.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Edit; tried to install with cwm, and I'm assuming it failed. It did boot to cwm, and ran a script, but after rebooting normally and going to chainfire3d it asks me to install.

Then I installed it normally without cwm and it doesn't have the problem... Wth! I guess I should have tried everything before posting. Now I feel stupid bahahaha.

Are you on the stock ROM? If so, that's your issue.

I am on stock rom with cwm... I've been waiting for cm7 to get finished. I've grown tired of reinstalling all my apps after a flash...

Speaking of which, is it possible to do a full backup (nandroid) with my apps? I use link2sd.

Yes it is. I am using Link2SD also and use nandroid backups/restore without issue ever.

No problems with my apps after a restore.

Use Stock++. It's like stock, but faster. OC'd to 900Mhz, ext4 filesystem, etc.

When I did my first nandroid backup/restore it didn't restore any of my apps, that's why I asked. And I've been contemplating stock++. It sounds amazing. Just so tired of flashing and losing everything hahaha.

Also just wanted to say thanks for all the work on the admire requisite0... I honestly thought there'd never be any roms for the admire lol.

Just backup all of your apps with Titanium Backup, flash new rom, install Titanium Backup and batch restore all apps.
It's a little bothersome but it only takes about 10 minutes to do.

True, didn't even think about that... I learn something me about titanium everyday.

Probably a stupid question, but of I backup with titanium on stock, then install stock++ with ext4 formatting, would I still be able to restore the apps?

 

[Demented755]

They'll still restore. I've been using the same titanium back-up to reinstall my apps between stock, stock++, and the CM7.2 beta.

Sounds basically like what I'd be doing... Thanks so much everyone!

Back on topic though... Does anyone even recommend using chainfire on the admire?

Unless you play Games that lag a bit that annoy you , yes. or armV6 games that are meant to be armv7, i.e temple run. But flashing stock++ lets you overclock to 900mhz, and it makes the game less laggy (ALOT LESS..!
