Make backup via recovery and when you want to delete that tweak it`s simple, restore.
Bravia Engine make`s photos and videos better, it not work on anything other.

Pimp my rom app is working fine for me
Sent from my LG-P765 using xda app-developers app

Any specific reason why one should not install "PIMP MY ROM" from PlayStore and install ZIP with CWM?
As per description of this application it installs Sony Bravia Engine and it also does hell lot of other settings. Please advice.
Sorry, please dont mind, you have posted same thing in two posts in this DEVELOPEMENT SECTION.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2109304
I doubt that his is related to any development. This post should actually stay in General or Apps and Themes section. Please take care of the forum seriously. Thanks.

INSTALLATION
- Backup and restore
When you download the file and unzip, you'll see a folder "backup-inst". In it you'll find three more folders, SW_Ging_Rom_V0.2 which must be copied to /sdcard/xrecovery/backup/, iconos must be copied to /sdcard/ and lpshortcut which must be copied to /sdcard too. The file instrucciones.txt tries to explain how to install it and working swype. Once you have done this, reboot your phone in recovery mode, and select backup and restore, select restore, and select SW_Ging_Rom_V0.2 and confirm. That's all
- UPDATE.ZIP
When unziped downloaded file, you'll find too update.zip. Copy it to /sdcard and reboot in recovery mode. Now you have two choices, first select full wipe and confirm, and afeter select install update.zip.This will install the rom after deleting all your data and customization. Second way is just select install update.zip (do not use full wipe), and this will install the rom keeping your data and previous customization.
Thats all. Hope you like it. If wanna thank please donate.

Any chance you could make one without HandCent for messaging?
Cant stand that app with the huge delay problem from receiving the text and the notification.
El-lobo's rom had it and it was a right carry on to remove and install the stock one again.
Also are you gonna do this one in English so i can have the proper keyboard?
Cheers.

i now have an english home built rom
i am currently working on it myself, just going over and over making sure it has no apps that are not needed my rom. What i am making will be a completely stripped down version of stock which will probably have adw or zeam as its launcher (with the option of the one i install OR the original home launcher to be used by you guys with no default set for ease) also im making this rom on stock eclair build so you guys should be fine to flash it straight without going near the full wipe function in recovery (ive read in a number of places full wipe on mini/pro in xrecovery is NOT ADVISABLE so please look into this before you go ahead and wipe as your phone may still function ok after wards but it may also deeply suffer from a full wipe too so be careful
i am interested to see what people make of my customized stock rom

Hi, thanks for the rom! Silly question - how do I flash the .zip file? Do I have to rename it to update.zip and then install from sd card in the recovery mode?
No, you don't need to. You can use the recovery to install the file from any location.
I'd just like to let you know, DSP Manager works out-of-box on stock SE without replacing audio libs.

Thanks. I've managed to flash the new ROM. Get past the boot screen thinking all good until I get this message: "Sorry! The Application HTC_IME mod (process jonasl.img) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Force Close.
I've installed the compatible kernel so not sure what's gone wrong here.
All I can do is power down the device, no access to menus etc
Any advice please?
Seems like the keyboard is giving you flak. OP, did you test it?

You will get a FC on first boot with the HTC_IME mod. It's only because there is no data folder associated with it. It will FC and create it's own data

Hi, thanks for all the replies regarding this issue but reboot hasn't helped.
I've rebooted it about 5 times so it's not a first boot issue. I'll try leaving it running for a while, as you mentioned it might create the file structure etc.. will let you know how I get on.

Tried that mate, no joy I can't get no apps up, can get into the keyboard settings by holding one of the hard keys then selecting the settings icon.
Should I reflash the kernel perhaps and then reflash the ROM?

What I want to tell my friend, try to flash the kernel first and then flash the rom;-) I recommend you wipe the three usual
No luck I'm afraid, will keep exploring!
Quick question, will this rom work on a R800a?
Thanks, I have a little experience with flashing android phones and the iPhone. I don't have that much concrete knowledge of the "in's & out's" of the phone but I'm very good at following directions to the "T"...
Thank you very much. Looking forward to your rom

Yeah, that wasn't the problem, it was a copy issue. However, now when I boot it up, I get an error about it failing to log into another person's account,I have no service, and making the mistake of trying to set it back to factory of course just boot loops it. I will beat it into submission eventually. Looks good though.
Nope - can't use this as it is. The dev's user account is still in it and if you delete the data, then it bootloops. Got me - maybe try restoring my own data over it? Trying next.
Yeah i've got fixes for all of that coming soon. especially the account thing. Just be sure to wipe cache and dalvik after you install and boot.
BTW: that account was a placeholder and some random people accidentally put their info on it...

Putting it in a RAR helps people from making the mistake of thinking it's a flashable zip file btw.

[ITUTORIAL][FAQ]ViperDNA ROM Discussion

ViperDNA ROM Discussion & Support Thread​
Due to the popularity of the ViperDNA rom, and wanting to better assist the users, we are opening this thread to allow for non development related questions and discussion, support questions, advice, help and how to, all that good stuff.
I am not the developer of ViperDNA, I'm simply maintaining this thread so that the main developer is not overwhelmed with too much general discussion and not able to focus on the development aspect of the rom. Many of you know me, my niche has been and will continue to be trouble shooting, support, and helping new users get started in the custom world of Android.
In the thread, you can post questions about installations, discussions of potential bugs as well as user errors, and general Q&A related to the ViperDNA ROM. I will be updating this OP to look much better, and will also be adding sections and subsections with important links.
I urge all of our users to participate and help out with this thread, this is a community effort not just me alone.
ViperDNA 1.2.0 Info
ROM NEEDS A CLEAN INSTALL
Instructions for Clean Install.
Note S On users will want a copy of rom zip on their computer desktop and a copy on the DNA's sdcard, s off only needs the rom zip file on the sdcard
1. Make a Nandroid backup just in case
2. Reboot to Recovery
3. Wipe these INSIDE recovery: Factory Reset, System, Dalvic cache
4. Choose the flash zip menu and select zip file from the sdcard and install the rom
5. S-Off users say yes to the reboot after installation is complete.
*5b. S-On Users will need to extract the rom zip file in a desktop folder and find the file boot.img and copy to their working adb/fastboot folder (For me it would be C:/Android-sdk/Platform-tools)
*5c. Right click while holding shift, in a blank space in the folders where fastboot.exe is located and choose "open command window here" from the right click menu
Run the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" without the quotes and press enter when its done type "fastboot reboot" without quotes and press enter.
That's It, Setup is Complete
Note: Factory Reset in recovery means wiping the data partition except for media (internal storage, or sdcard) and wiping cache.
Radio and Firmware Information: You do not have to be on the latest firmware (2.04) to flash Viper 1.2.0. I recommend that you achieve s off and try the 2.0.4 radios if battery life is a concern especially because one will work better for your unique phone's hardware and network, signal strength and usage pattern.
Kernel: ONLY RUN THE KERNEL THAT'S INSTALLED IN THE ROM. Zone also has a stock 2.04 kernel posted in the android development section.
Do NOT run custom kernels with this rom until custom 2.04 kernels available, which will be after HTC releases the kernel source.

Re: [INFO][FAQ]ViperDNA ROM Discussion
I have two questions. How can I add more apps on the home screans. And is there anyway to change up the app drawer. I prefer scrolling vertically rather then horizontal. Everything is running perfectly just looking to tweak things a little.
Re: [INFO][FAQ]ViperDNA ROM Discussion
I'm not sure if this is the rom or the app but when I plug in my otg usb into my phone SwiftKey constantly shows crash error reports... I'm not sure if you guys have seen this before or not... It does not effect moving files or anything it is just weird...

Long press the app in the app drawer and move it to the home screen.
Install a different launcher, I highly recommend nova, apex is another good one

I have some similar issues too, but not until after I unmount the drive.

Exactly what I was looking for thank you! Switched to apex and will have to tweak it until its just right.

The error reports on mine come after un-mounting. I am not sure yet as to the cause. I had the same issue prior to rooting

Im having the same problem and after some research it looks like people are having the same issues on stock and custom roms.
I'm using stickmount pro. What I've found is that after unmounting or removing the device a reboot is required because my apps go haywire. The only time I've seen similar issues is when people use something like apps2sd and their phone boots before the sdcard is mounted, so the shortcuts on the homescreen or widgets disappear and the app force closes all over the place and disappears from the app drawer.
Obviously the problem with us is not because the apps are installed on an external directory, but the symptoms are very similar.
I will be doing more research and its going to be a focus of mine. I'll keep you guys and gals updated and would love to hear any input or see links that you run across involving DNA and OTG.
Something else with OTG is that when I unmount the USB drive in stickmount, and then I unplug the drive, I get the warning message about the drive being removed while in use or something like that. So its almost like stickmount isn't unmounting, it just thinks its unmounting, and that improper unmounting is what sends the directories haywire.

I get an error on connecting otg about not being a valid charging source. On disconnect, several processes crash, which trace to specific apps, including Battery Monitor Widget Pro, Pure Messenger and Gmail Label Notifier. If I disable those apps, then no crash, so I'm pretty sure this is not ROM related.

Used the search in the other thread but didn't quite find the answer I was looking for.
Do I start with 1.1.0 and then use the OTA to update to 1.1.3? Should I just wait till 1.2 comes out and then flash, if it makes any difference?

You really don't have to worry about it. Worse thing that would happen is that it auto downloads, it can't install on a custom recovery. And 1.1.3 has the ota removed so you don't even have to worry about it installing.

[Blu Energy X Plus] I Deleted my launcher and Download Manager By Mistake.

[First Time Poster, so i can't post outside links. therefore, i will have a space instead of a "." you can add it yourself to go to the sources i mention.]
So i rooted my Blu Energy X Plus, and i decided to get rid of some blotware using some cool rooted apps. and i deleted download manager, (i thought it was blotware for some reason) and i deleted the stock launcher, because i was using nova launcher.
a little time later i realise that i can't download any apps. i soon figure out it's becuase i deleted the download manager. i try desperately to find a place to get it back, but nothing.
so i figure, i would just factory reset! i had just gotten the phone that day so what is the harm? well when it was finished i had no launcher, and still no download manager. it just says "android UI had stopped working" or something like that.
the only way i can get it to boot up, is if i choose the option: "wipe"data/factory reset" in the recovery menu.
I Have Tried to "Install Update From ADB" using this tutroil: digitaltrends com/mobile/how-to-install-the-android-m-developer-preview-on-your-nexus-device/2/
i know it says nexus, but i figured it would work for me as long as i used the correct image. i found an image for my phone here: needrom com/download/blu-energy-x-plus-e030u/
But there's another image Here: needrom com/download/blu-energy-x-plus-e030l/
I Don't Know Which one is the correct one. i have tried to install both links on the first one, but my phone just says instalation aborted when i start it.
I Installed the drivers in the first link there as well^
Well i can boot up my phone and turn on debugging, and stuff, but i dont have a launcher or download manager. i can launch the built in apps (by going to apps in the settings) like google, and chrome, but i still can't download anything.
My PC Is Running Windows 7 64 Bit, and the phone is running Android 5.0 With a Skin that Blu Put on. (IDK What It's Called)
can anyone help? am i not using an official ROM for my phone? Any Help Would Be Amazing.

Isn't there a way to re-install the download manager and stock launcher through adb? I'm not sure where you can find the apk's for said applications (perhaps you could ask a user with the same stock device to send them to you?)
It's easy to extract the apk of the download manager on a stock device and then send it over through adb. Checkout this tut: hxxp://www wikihow com/Extract-APK-File-of-Any-App-on-Your-Android-Phone
Then you could use:
Code:
adb pull path-to-my.apk
Or some other method to send the apk file to your pc...
If you can you could simply install it on the other broken device with
Code:
adb install path-to-my.apk
You would have to install adb on your windows 7 machine (which is included in android software development kit. I've just installed AndroidStudio to do this for me.) and enable adb on your phone. Here is a reference: hxxp://developer android com/tools/help/adb html
Change xx into tt and add dots instead of spacebars, I'm a new user too...
Or you could transfer the file to your device some other way and use a file explorer to find it, click on it and let the phone install it itself without the use of adb... I'm sure a stock device comes with the capability of installing apk files through the UI.
That worked to install nova launcher. but i still need my download manager. any idea of where to find it? or is there any alternatives?

Like I said, find someone with the same stock device and let them extract the apk, send it to your computer and then install the apk through adb on your broken phone.
EDIT: check out my edits, I made a lot of them without showing
EDIT: you might be able to request xda to create a forum for blu energy x plus. They have a lot of different phone model forums but not one for blu energy x plus yet. If they will you could start a thread there to ask if anyone could send you the apk.
You might wanna checkout this thread for that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335502
K Thanks! i am able to use my phone now, it's just a bit of a hassle to install apps from an APK by trasfering them from my tablet
i'll be looking for someonw with the same phone as me, and i'll probably be posting somewhere if anyone has this phone. or get a forum request for it. thanks for all your help! i hit the thanks button on both your replies!

Well you can see from your last post you would use E030U from needarom. I have V11 and V14, If you would make a backup of your system, boot.img, recovery.img and upload them that would be great, I could add V9 to my twrp recovery and build flashable rom for it.
You can get all the files you need from the needarom system.

to make a good backup once you have rooted, go to playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.onnandbup&hl=en
install Online Nandroid Backup * ROOT
open app
grant su permission
change Backup Type from clockworkmod to twrp
change backup mode from normal backup mode to selective backup mode
click blue select button
check
b:boot
r:recovery
s:system
click ok
top right click save
quick backup
start backup
Then zip up backup and upload it for me.
PS if you haven't installed busybox most people have, but if you haven't you would need to install that as well.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en
Once you do this and install my twrp recovery ported to your V9, you can install my backup V11, or test a custom rom, I am porting, they are still betas but work well enough.
The current rom I ported it this one.
http://www.rohantaneja.ml/2015/09/m-preview-full-firmware-for-aurora.html
Just now got it booted up.
OK i will do all of that. i am a bit busy and my upload speed is quite slow, so it may be a day or two, but i'll get the backup to you.
