[Mazeraski]

Not a problem, glad to hear it's up and running again . I apologize for the fact that it seemed like we weren't always on the same page. Just so you know, since you restored the backup that I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) you made before loading the kernel/ROM you should have neither running on it right now. If you want to give your nerves a rest before trying to run them again I would understand

You two need to get a room

im glad I could provide a comedy hour last night! man was I freaked I thought I bricked it. You guys on here are some of the nicest and helpful people I have ever met. You guys should all have your own donate thing where people like me can donate for helping us. I would have gave you my savings last night! Lol Anyways I wanna thank Maz again for the help. Reading back through all my posts, im chuckeling at how scared of my wife I was sounding!

Ok I flashed stupid fast kernell...is there any way to download a rom say jts super clean .4 right to my phone from my phone and flash it at work? and when they get this update thats coming out, will it be a rom? How do I update stupid fast? Should everything I flash be done from a laptop or js that what the rom manager download thing is?

glad to see you got all squared away with Maz's help last night Bob

theres no reason you couldnt d/l jts rom from rom manager on your phone and flash it at work, but its a huge file and unless you are on wifi you might not want to

whenever dj05 comes out it will (most likely) be in a flashable update.zip just like a rom.

you can't really "update" a kernel you can just flash the newer version whenever you get it, just like any other kernel.

and it doesnt really matter if you use rom manager or your laptop to flash stuff, just a preference (personally i very rarely use rom manager)

Any ideas as to why super dark rom didnt work last night? Im not noticing much snappeirness with stupid fast? Or is super dark just a theme? How do I apply a theme as to a rom?

personally i would just go with a jt kernel in rom manager and superclean 0.4 to get your feet wet and hang with for a few days

 

[Bob-o]

When I go into rom manager, and click on jt super clean .4 it asked what theme I want....is that just the theme of the rom? Is the dark glass mod close to the super dark? And what is the option dark glass with slide animation?

yup thats just a theme you can add to the rom without doing it manually

[Theme] Dark Gloss Mod UPDATED 11/08 Now available in ROM Manager! - xda-developers <---that is dark gloss which is the theme from super dark

slide animation is just a transition mod for your phone it bothers me so i dont use it

So say I ever wanted to go back to factory out of the box, how do I do that? Is there a quick way to go back,to factory? In case I ever want to reset my phone?

Haha, well, I couldn't leave him hanging.

You could just boot into recovery (CW or stock) and select 'wipe data/factory reset'. Note though, this will delete everything you have on and have done with your phone. It will be the exact same way it was when you took it out of the box. I would only do this if returning the phone or needed to have it stock.

as long as you dont have a lagfix installed you can odin phone back to stock by pushing pit/system, kernel, and stock recovery instead of clockwork....all the files are in the odin thread

^This too, thanks nitsuj
