Hello all!
I just rooted my HTC Amaze 4G yesterday. I used "[ROM] Android Revolution HD™ 1.1.0" because I needed Arabic supported on my Android.
Anyways, now I have Arabic fully supported, which is great. the phone is fast, and it is now actually 4G instead of 3G, which is better i'm assuming.. (when I got the phone few days ago, it was showing me that it's running on 3g)
so all that is great, however, I have few problems that I can't pretend they don't exist!
-----------
first, the camera now isn't working probably, when you press the camera button, you see a scrambled picture, however when you take the photo, it looks normal... I'll upload the photo I took of it.
second, when I come to play a video, whether it's Youtube or any other vid, the picture is also scrambled and it's impossible to see.
third, the Tethering isn't working at all! it says "error" when I try to turn the feature on.
so far that's all the problems I discover since I installed the ROM. not sure if there is anymore!
I looked in the forums, and on google on how to fix them, but it doesn't seem that a lot of people having the same problems.
does anyone know how to fix these issues? and if they are not fixable, is there a way to uninstall the ROM but still keep the Arabic supported????
all I need is the Arabic to be supported, and of course no issues with the phone.
this is the thread I used:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342291
this is the camera problem:

any help would be really appreciated!!

Make Sure you intall the ROM EXACTLY how it shows you, if you get errors, do it again
^^^^^ I would do that also. And if it doesn't work, download super wipe script (if you havent) and use it before flashing, I use it for all the roms I flash, even though its made for ARHD

I followed the thread word by word... I spent 7 hours yesterday rooting it!!!!!!
at first it didn't work, but I kept trying until everything went fine with no errors at all.
is there a way to get rid of it and just install another ROM? I also noticed that the phone now takes forever to boot up!!
Thanks for your reply BTW!

Yes, simply download another Rom and flash, most if not all roms here need a kernel to be flashed, if you want, pm me and ill help you further

Use superwipe and flash the ROM again. Install the Arabic patch. You should be fine.

I did download super wipe script and ran it before flashing. just as a thread said...
I wonder if running the super wipe now would get rid of the Rev HD and allow me to install Stock ROM?!
I'm not that geek with Android as i'm new to it

I will try that, and what is I want to flash another ROM, do I need to get rid of the rev hd or I can just flash another one after using the superwipe? and will that cause the Arabic patch to stop working?
so if I want to have a stock ROM and Arabic Patch, would they work together?
sorry for being too naive lol

OK! that's cool with me... I can play around with the ROMs, you know removing one and adding another, as long as they work with the Arabic Patch
if i want to go ahead and use Energy Rom, all I need to do is do superwipe, and flash the Rom, am I right?
thanks again co

ok, so I tried this again. used super wipe, flashed the ROM and installed the arabic patch.... no errors.... and still same problems.
I'm in the process of trying Energy ROM! let's see!
I flashed Energy ROM.. still exact same problems
I basically did superwipe. then flash. then arabic patch...
the arabic is supported, but again no fix for the other 3 problems :'(
Does it happen AFTER you flash the patch or no?

well, it seems to be after the patch, that's why i'm not installing the patch right now. just the rom... i'll see if that was the problem in a bit
it just finished flashing... still same issues.
No patch, no arabic supportd, and still same issues.
no idea what am i doing wrong!!!
is there anyway to undo the ROM. so just basically go back to the original system without losing the "root" on my device... this is my second day trying to get the device to be usefull!... I was an "Apple" person, and things there are much easier,... i'm starting to hate android!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I still don't get it, why doesn't google have Arabic supported on their devices... it's one of the most demanded feature that people ask for it in their phones!
Ah!!
Wallah ana ma b3rif lol. They should add it in.
You can install a prerooted ROM or go back to stock and install root.

What version of Gmail do you have on your 3d, and is it AOSP, or ICS w/Sense. And by the way, if I remember correctly, we couldn't copy and paste in GB Gmail, so there's a win and a loss in this situation.

Its always Sense Never ASOP and I don't know how to tell what gmail Version ? also on all my GB Roms it worked ??? ICS is when a couple Did not work but never partially as in this case it either worked or did not! now in my case the emails from everywhere else work and the Links are Blue and CLICKABLE but the emails coming from XDA are BLACK and I can not CLICK ON THEM ????? Please Advise
First of all, I stand corrrected. You CAN copy and paste in the GB version of Gmail. But that's besides the point.
I am not sure why the emails from XDA are UN-clickable. Have you tried uninstalling Gmail and reinstalling it?
Have you also tried backing up everything and doing a COMPLETE wipe? Or even test a different rom? Or a stock rom if you are using a custom rom?
Just trying everything that comes to mind...

This was happening to me as well but recently decided to check after installing latest Meanbean update and everything works, I think it might have something to do with either a mod I flashed or pimp my Rom

What other mods have you maybe done? Have you tried going to settings..apps..and reset defaults?

Also what you could do is do a full Nandroid backup, make sure it saves to your external sd though, then do a full wipe, and flash in MeanBean. You could even then after flashing the Rom let it boot in normal, then see if you can open links.

Yes with MeanBean you would have to update the firmware, but it is well worth it. As far as going back after you've flashed the firmware... well I was able to flash in a non JB rom just fine afterwards. The best part of MeanBean Rom, taking into account your issue, is that FAPPLE is built into the rom as well as just about every other thing you could think of!

First of all, I'm real sorry to get your hopes up!
The reason for this thread is that I'm hoping a dev would convert this rom so it works on our beloved 7105.
Is it even possible to port this rom over?
Anyway, would love to see it as there's a lack of roms for the 7105 compared to the 7100.
If I'm breaking the rules with this thread I'm really sorry, feel free to close and delete it.

If it's on the A.T&T thread, then you can flash that Rom. Most of the Roms I use are from that Thread. Just make sure you have the right modem. I haven't flashed this particular ROM yet, but I'm getting to it. The new P.A builds have just come out, so I've flashed them this morning to give it a try. Just make sure you have Nandroid and you will be set to go.

Got my Modem from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2031575
Hope this helps. Just make sure you flash the right one of course. I would also recommend Flashing the latest Neak Kernel for AOSP/AOKP Roms. It seems to work the best. Also and off topic here, the latest Roobox Nightly has been released, just search GOOMANGER on your phone. That now has Halo and works really well. The main bug is the Expand screen part doesn't work properly, but everything else is really sweet. The PacMan Rom, the halo still has the SMS bug. If you get a new SMS and you click on it through HALO, it will exit out of the app you were in. So keep that in mind. Going to give the XYELon Rom a go tonight and see how that fairs.

I've been looking into porting for a long time and have been trying to figure things out.
So you say any rom or just certain roms will flash fine on our n7105 providing we ensure to flash the appropriate modem???
Hmm for some reason the recovery didn't let me install the latest version of AT&T Pac-Rom Any ideas? Wrong model?

Hi there, I've flashed pretty much every ROM that there is on the AT&T section and all have worked. I did flash with the proper modem on all of them. However, that said if most of the time if I didn't flash the latest NEAK kernel then at times I would get no reception at all. With the latest builds of RootBox, and Pacman i didn't bother flashing the kernel and it worked just fine. The T-Mobile Roms just don't work. I've tried to flash a few and they just don't even flash.
However, just keep in mind that some ROMS will change your build.prop like Skynote and Pacman, so you have to edit them. Also with Rootbox, you have to change the MMS.apk as the one built in is buggy. So i usually use the one I've ripped from the P.A builds as they work just fine.
In short. Yes. These do work for the n7105. Just flash the proper modem and you will be set.

If you are using CWM, it always tends to fail on you. I use TWRP and haven't had an issue since. Flash back to a stable ROM and install TWRP through GOO manager. Then flash it using TWRP. Be sure to do a full wipe. Then advanced cache and dalvik cache wipe. Twice for both. That is what I do make sure I have a clean system, then install the Rom, Gapps, Modem, Kernel. Kernel shouldn't be an issue with Pacman. Use the one provided.

My recommendation as far as ROMs go is Eclipse Progressive Build 7. Everyone has an opinion, but I think it is the most staple and smooth ROM out there for the S4. Every function / detail works, great on battery and updated routinely by the Developer. There is an Eclipse ROM on this Forum, but that is not the ROM I recommend. The Eclipse version I am referring to can only be downloaded from the Developer's site. If you're MDK you won't need SafeStrap to flash it. Go here for the ROM: http://www.elementalxdesigns.com/ec...-Loki-amp-Safestrap-Progress-Build07-(1-28-14).
I recommend liquid smooth 4.4 if you rather aosp. Been running it for a while now and it's great.

I've run a number of AOSP ROMs, there are some good ones out there. Although from my experience the TW ROMs run smoother with less lag / hesitation...and everything works. I've heard a number of other S4 users report the same thing. It's not that the other ROMs don't run, they just don't seem to run as smooth and some of them have at least one or two things that don't work "just right".

I mostly agree with you there. Usually TW will be more stable depending on what the Dev has added or removed.
However lately on my Sprint S4 AOSP has treated me better. Particularly Liquid Smooth ( I know I should just be a LS spokesman )

I have to admit that I haven't run anything but Eclipse for the past four or five months so I'm a little "behind" on the latest AOSP ROMs. I totally understand about your preference for Liquid Smooth, I find myself feeling exactly the same way about Eclipse, LOL.

Well I have flashed I'd have to say just about every AOSP ROM for our phone and in my opinion... None have as many options, useful ones too. It runs great on ART too. So if u have that flashing itch and have an MDK build with custom recovery definitely check it out!

Check this out on ART

And if your on mdk with a custom recovery already just download liquid+gapps and wipe everything in recovery and flash away. Make a backup first of course.

If you don't have a recovery yet... Just flash one no need to Odin back. Assuming you're rooted as well

When you say "latest TWRP" what version are you talking about? 2.7.0.1? On their page only the google play version is supported. Thanks!

VK810_twrp_2.7.0.2.zip That is the correct recovery to use look at this thread for proper instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2726707 I do know that its a little buggy for this tablet but works make sure you are unplugged when going into recovery.
For some strange reason i can't flash 2.7.0.2 keeps failing to flash 2.7.0.2.....

Its just a stock ROM. Mostly posted it so other devs could use it as well. As far as difference from the stock 4.4.2 Official, you wont see any difference.
When I release CleanROM you will see and feel the difference.

Very true! Atleast you are prepared for when I do release a 4.4.2 custom ROM.
IM still recovering from surgery so I hope in a few days to get nice de-bloated / optimized ROM out.
What would be the major differences between this stock rom you released and the clean rom? Bloat removal? Is there a Lollipop based rom in our future since I see that Lollipop is now available in some other parts of the world for this tablet.
Oh wow man! Thanks for this. Looking forward to CleanROM. Started my G2 with CleanROM and loved it. Thank you for giving this tablet some love!!
