Root [Boost Mobile] [ROM] n00b (B10 based) VIII.II FULL Install 1/23/2013

Love the rom, especially the extended power menu, but I have one big issue. Titanium Backup always locks up when I try to restore a single app. It batches fine but not all of my apps install so I need to do a few manually. I've tried redownloading the TB, wiping cache and dalvik cache, fix permissions and zipaligning but no change . Any suggestions?


Also, I know you said it took a while to get your extended power menu working but would it be possible for you to have it say "rebooting" when you pick the reboot option, rebooting to recovery when you reboot to recovery and so on instead of powering off?


Try installing your apps from the play store then restoring the data only for the apps in titanium, or advanced restore just the data partition from your last cwm backup if you were on stock b08c

I just wanted to drop in and say thanks for this rom. I have used all of your themes in the past... first i had the wp7 rom with your theme then to shins, also themed by you, and when i saw you post your rom, i was sure i was going to like it....and i do! Its very smooth, and minimal issues. I love the slimmed minimal look of everything. I have had a few issues tho, not sure if they are rom issues, or just boost service...or what ...but here they are:
1) Im having an inordinary number of texts not get sent. i get the red exclamation point saying error sending text. I have to resend 5-10 times sometimes before it actually pushes the text through. This hasnt happened to this extent with any other rom. But, again, im not saying the rom is to blame here.
2)Last night i had a one time issue with gps..I turned gps on with the widget you included. Used it, then turned it off. Well for some reason, the icon kept showing like gps was on. I went into settings menu and toggled settings there to see if that would fix. It didnt. had to reboot phone for it to clear the gps icon. Havent been able to duplicate the issue yet, but dont use gps often. (again could be unrelated to the rom)
3)Im experiencing the same issue with TB not restoring all aps with batch operation, i have had no issue however when i go into to manually restore the apps that it left out.

All in all, love the rom. Super job, and thank you :)

Did you fix permissions after you installed the ROM? I was having an issue with my wifi, but it settled in when I fixed permissions.

If you did a cwm backup or used titanium you should be able to restore the apps

I got them back, I have one problem. My memory card is a 16gb I had about maybe 8gb left, after I installed this rom and backed up my phone with cwn I have 826mb free. I have no clue why all that space was taken like that this is very frustrating >_<

Just a hunch, between the titanium folder and clockwork folder how much space are those two using?

Best room my warp ever seen!!! 5 stars is not enough.

Installed since yesterday, everything working perfect, tested calls, text msgs, img msgs, emails, music, video, camera (photo & video), gps (google navigation, Sygic, Copilot), Jorte, bluetooth works very well.

Beautiful power menu.

Btw, I restored all my apps (378) with Titanium Backup and didn't have any issues.

Xperia Home works well & very fast. I'm a GoLAuncherEx fan, but XH works faster. Someone knows how to kill a non-responsive app usin XH ? or a light & simple task manager to use ?

Thank you very much.

First, thank you... I like the app called rebooter, there is a quick reboot option that just kills all running apps

After a full day and some tweaking of my own doings, I have to say this rom is the best I've tried so far. I've tried them all that has been released and this one hands down beats them all performance wise on the warp. use with HOLO launcher from the market to get the ICS look and it's just blazing fast all the way around......THANK YOU SIR :cheers:

I just wanted to update on my last post. First, thanks atlharp for pointing out to fix permisions. I knew i needed to do that but somehow kept spacing actually doing it. After fix permisions (ran late last night) I have run all day today with out any of the issues i reported. I didnt have one unsent text, gps and wifi turned on and off as they should, and TB was a user error on my end i think. Im running this rom with QuickPic as a gallery, Camera ICS+, and zeam launcher. Everything has been working flawlessly since fixing permissions. One question i would like to ask tho is this:
I prefer to use zeam as my main and only launcher. Can i just delete XH from the System/App folder and move zeam from data/app to system app? I tried to do this in the past with on of shins roms, everything worked flawlessly for me until i went to restore a backup i had made of the rom, with my new launcher, and it would load up the phone just fine, but couldnt get past the first turn on lock screen. It was as if no launcher was installed at all. I just want to make sure that i can restore my phone to this calibration in the future, before the deed is already done, as was the case last time.
...And on an exiting note, i just want to again thank Mr. BOBO for all his work, Im back in love with my warp again :)

Thank you, you are very kind :)

yes, please do customize the ROM to your liking! go into titanium and long click zeam, make it a system app through that and reboot. Then hit your home button, make sure zeam is the default launcher, then go into titanium, click xperia home and uninstall or freeze, then you are good to go. I have found that method to be reliable.

Enjoy!

I switched back to GolauncherEx, because have lot of features more than xperia home. I instaled SD-Booster, set Cache Size to 512 (4 times 128) and GoLauncherEx is performing as fast as Xperia Home.

This rom + SetCPU + SD-Booster + GouLauncherEx = Happy Warp :D:D:D

I never heard of SetCpu and SD Booster, what settings do you use for SetCpu? I want happy warp also lol.
