Root [Boost Mobile] [ROM] Windows Phone 7 ROM 4.2.3 {Updated 1/22/13}

[Lordvincent 90]

Flashed this, it didn't remove existing .odex (nbd) so i formatted /system in cwm and flashed and it bootlooped... And ideas?

Had my first freeze this morning when attempting to view email. Had to remove battery. Don't know what caused it; will see if it happens again. It also lags sometimes when you go from main screen to app screen.

Reference the fonts. Font Installer; it will let me install a font, then reboots, but the system fonts remain the same for settings, email, contacts, messaging, call log, etc. How can I change this? Thanks, love the rom...

UPDATE: Tried another app (typefresh) to change the font and the error is:

could not remount /system

Here is the stock ICS font, just flash it from your sd card in cwm, voila!

what did you start from? I went from woodstock's b08c stock nandroid, to v1 to v2, I haven't gone to 2.2 yet because I don't need the apps... can you get to cwm to at least flash back to woodstock's b08c? maybe this rom still needs that base to be in place... just a guess.

I flashed to 2.2.0 but it went a little too laggy :/ idk if it was just my phone or if there is an issue with the rom.

Yea, b08c stock
back up and running, no problem (restored backup) the ROM flashed and loaded fine, but i will had all the .odex
files.
Will some one do

adb shell rm /system/app/*.odex

and see if that works/causes bootloop

I'll have nandroid backups instead of flashable.zips soon. That should fix the odex files that are still in the system.

I get rm failed for /system/app/accountsandsyncsettings.odex, permission denied.

I rebooted without any issue though...

Just have you zip either format /system or delete ("/system/app/*.odex"); should work

Does anyone else have constant freezing in b08c? I never had this problem till I upgraded to b08c, but my phone has been CONSTANTLY freezing at random occasions, forcing me to take the battery out.

I thought installing this ROM might fix the issue, but it's still there. It's definitely something wrong with b08c and not the ROM itself. I was wondering if any of you would know how to fix it? I was on stock till today, rooted, clean formatted, and installed, but I think a bug from the original firmware is causing the crashes.

try going into cwm, clear cache, advanced clear dalvik, reboot

if that doesn't work, try doing a factory reset in cwm

if that doesn't work, restore woodstock's stock b08c (look in the root section of the forum). if your phone doesn't work at that point, I would do the return to stock with stock recovery by hroark also on the root section, this puts you at b08b, if you still see reboots, you probably have a hardware issue and should warranty the phone with zte. if it fixes the issue, I would then use the recovery tool to update to b08c and then re-root etc and the problem should be solved.

My stock music player was starting itself, solved with Zimly (free from Google Play/Market), give it a try.

Go to settings applications then go to manage find play store and select it. Press clear data and uninstall updates. Also if yiu find "google frameworks" clear data on that as well then reboot phone.

The ROM is not the reason your play store crashes. Google will be sending out a new update OTA over the next few days to the play store for bug fixes including force closes

Okay, there is definitely something wrong with b08c, at least on my phone. I tried reinstalling this ROM fresh, still had the same issues. I then went back to Woodstock's b08c backup (also a fresh install), and still had the same exact freezing issues. After that, I decided to install the build BEFORE b08c that Woodstock uploaded (02-11), and the phone is running 100% fine now, no issues.

I've been having problems with 100% stock b08c, Woodstock's b08c backup, and this Windows ROM (which is based on b08c). Older versions work fine for me (b08). Just wanted to post this incase some of you guys had the same problems.

Okay i cleared what you told me & now i will update & i am going to use my phone for about 10 min's (google play crash message always shows on my screen even when im on a different app) so i am going to update to see if it still has the same problem. But thanks

Very pleased, no problems at all, at first since i don't use any of those launchers, had many force close errors, but once I converted my launcher of choice to a system app and did a reboot, no issues at all. Quite suprised by overall quickness , definitely notice a difference. I am torn though, I mainly use ADW Launcher EX, and for some reason I kind of like the WP7 Launcher, but, I wish there was a way to add widgets WITHOUT tiles, like my Jorte , my Jorte Tasks, Beautiful Widgets, MY ESPN Scorecenter (season just started that is a MUST ;\)...IF there is a way to do this, kindly let me know...seems like even adding special widget tile the max u can set is 2x1...Overall, Two thumbs up and its not even finalized yet...;p

Oh yeah and Superuser would deny TI backup and other apps untill i downgraded, allowed permissions, then re upgraded the APP. Other then that, no probs.

Yes the max a widget tile can grow is 2x1. You cant set a without having it in a tile

When you select flash zip do not choose update zip select "choose zip ftom sd card" and select it.

I did.
PS. Can't seem to acces my reboot mode ( The screen where u go to flash etc. don't know what it's called ), it gets stuck in the logo. Any ideas how to fix that? -.-' Everything else seems to work fine though.

Thx, it's a good vid but doesn't help me at my current situation, since I can't access my recovery mode, therefore I can't restore my backups either so I could try again ( Atleast I don't know how I can )....
