I really like the xtrasense rom but I'm thinking I'm ready to try another rom. The process is the same right? Just download it the same as before and then unzip it and all? I'm not exactly sure if I want to go thru all the same redoing of my settings as I did before but just to see a different rom might be cool and then go back to the other one. Now I will say that my custom ringtones that I already had on my phone when I try to assign them to contacts they play fine but when that contact calls me the ringtone breaks up and cuts in and out the whole time. Is that a product of the rom or the program or what? It didn't do any of this when I was on the stock rom. I told you all I would have a ton of questions! :-D
here is what id do if i was you:
-boot into recovery
-
make a backup
-wipe only dalvik cache-do NOT wipe data(this will keep you from having to re-set everything up)
-reflash xtr sense
now reboot your phone and see if that fixes the prollem you were having with your email. if it does,then great! you can stay with it if you want to. or if you still want to try a different one go for it,you can try as many as you like and restore the one that you decide you want to stay with
your ringtone prollem isnt typical of a custom rom- ive never had that issue,not sure what may be going on there. maybe reflashing the xtrsense as i described above will fix that too?
to cahnge roms,yes the procedure is the same,but does not involve unzipping the rom.
here is my procedure:
-download rom (and gapps if needed) to PC
-transfer zipped rom(and gapps if needed) to SD card via usb cable
-boot into recovery
-
backup current rom
-wipe data/cache/dalvik cache
-flash new rom
-flash gapps if needed
-reboot and enjoy
on the gapps,when you are flashing a rom thats based on a cyanogenmod(CM) rom,such as cm6 froyo roms(nonsensikal,CELB,etc) or a cm7 gingerbgread rom(condemned cm7,GSB) you will need to flash gapps seperately to get certain google apps like the market. gapps="google apps add on". the developer thread will list a download for the gapps,if its needed.
so if you dont see any mention of gapps in the first post of a rom developers thread,then you shouldnt need it. stock based roms will not need it(xtrsense,xtrrom,tainted tenzo)
last and not least- references to backups are in red,so you dont accidentally forget that step. you should ALWAYS make a backup before changing or modifying your phone
hope that helps
