Success! Thank You so much, drowningblue!! Got the CWM-based recovery screen. Now it is at this point that I want to do a backup, right? After that, I can use this to flash kitjelly?

Edit: I went ahead and backed everything up to my sd. Real problem, though. Saw it in Es Browser and a split second later it was gone. For some reason lately all files recently created or copied over from PC seem to get deleted somehow from external sd card.

Edit2: happens every time I reboot. I back it up, then go back and can see the backup when i choose restore from exSD. Once I reboot, I choose restore from exSD and the backup is gone. Come to think of it, this happened about a week before I rooted the phone. I took a picture over the weekend that was stored on my exSD, and Monday it was gone.

Edit3: The issue of files disappearing from my external sd card seems to be an issue w/ the 64GB Skandisc micro SD card. ScanDisc is aware of this problem and may issue a repair or replacement. I went ahead and used another SD card to get the backup on my PC, but I might just wait till I get a replacement SD, before I go any further.

okay i get what you are saying but i really dont get that problem with my sd card. what i would do is if you dont care about your apps(which everything except for /sdcard will be wiped anyways)you should just go ahead and install the kitjelly recovery. before you do wipe /cache (its somewhere in cwm) and go ahead and restore the kitjelly recovery. now if anything goes wrong then you can download a copy of a stock rom somewhere on this forum, and install update zip.

edit:i have a crappy pny 32 gb sd card if that helps.

steve im sorry if i seem to be bombarding you with bug after bug but these next ones are serious.

1. everytime i try to install or update apps i get this problem. idk if its me, or the rom. restarting doent fix it but logging out of my google account does.

2. notification sounds play when they want to. half the time they dont at all. i was thinking if you could change the third option in the short volume control menu back to notifications it might better address the problem.

im sorry about all this... im probably the most problematic person on this forum. i tried google but alas no fixes.

Is there a fix for SMS text. I can send or receive texts...

i found a workaround for texting.

download and install this app on your phone.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkleft.eightyeightsms.mms&hl=en

its called 8sms

now once you have it installed open it and hit your options key. A little menu should pop up, click settings. now scroll all the way down to the bottom and there should be an option for stand alone mode, make sure that box is checked. now everything should work fine. Please tell me your results.

hahaha. anyways. do you know if its TW or aosp?

This rom is basically a heavily modded stock rom, idk what TW or aosp means but this isnt a CM rom. the reason the messaging broke was the original stock app was removed, and you need that when using a stock rom to send and receive texts. Im using an app called 8sms that has a standalone mode. everything is working fine, but you can find a more permanent solution that would be greatly appreciated. :)
