it's rebooting!
Expect the new startup to take a little while.
Android Revolution is using ART, it's ok to take a while for the first boot.

TWRP WORKS!
Of course.
Bookmark this thread, if you ever get the same trouble, you're now expert in fixing it yourself.
After you're satisfied with Android Revolution, make sure to go to TWRP and make a backup.
If the rom gives you any trouble, TWRP, Wipe, cache and Dalvik *only*.

But - it doesn't seem to be booting up Android Revolution =/ it's still loading, you said it takes a while? How long should it normally take?
Are you past the initial screen with a dialog saying it's rebuilding stuff?
If so, you're fine.
That can take from 5 minutes to a half hour the first time.

Yes. It's reloading apps now. I feel super content right now haha. I really appricate your help dude. I was at my last thread. I took it into a repair shop and they couldn't fix it and they where going to charge me $80 so I'm SO glad that you helped me. It's optimizing app 92 of 245 now.

Alright - everything is up and running smoothly. However, it keeps saying but not to often "TV has stopped working"
Nice.
Now, let's review -
Something blew up with the last install and trashed TWRP.
Almost a certainty that will be a one time thing.
If anything is really whacky or not working, even after cleaning cache and Dalvik, I want you to go right back to TWRP and install Android Revolution again.
Because whatever glitch whacked TWRP might have whacked part of the rom.
Or not - there's no telling but it's a one time deal so there's no worries either.
Remember to nandroid backup from TWRP as soon as it's looking good.
Now send me $79, and take the other dollar to the repair shop, point at it and scream, "See this dollar? Eat it!" And then laugh little this - "Mua haha haha!"
Guarantee they won't mess with you again!
ROTFLMAO j/k ok
Enjoy your phone, drop back and let me know how it's getting on for you.

And bookmark this thread!
See my advice on clearing cache and Dalvik and on re-installing Android Revolution.
It's probably nothing that that advice won't fix.

Oh... lol duh. Sorry I'm out of it from all of this haha. I will look into this more. For now on I'm just going to make a back up and leave it alone. What I was ORIGINALLY trying to do before this too - is unroot it. But I will save that for a later time.

I have one more question... which is the most stable version of Cyanogenmod? I have tried it before, but when I did it didn't read my sim card.
OK.
I don't use Cyanogen Mod so I couldn't say.
I far prefer Sense.

Member
Sense? I'll have to take a look at that one. Again, thanks for your help dude. If I could I'd shake your hand, I thought I was out $600. lol
ExothermOfficial
Member
Wait a minute, sense is default isn't it? Lol man... I need to read a book about Androids or something. /facepalm
Lol - yeah, I run ViperOneM8, a Sense rom, as is Android Revolution.

Gotcha, makes sense now haha. I'm learning to get used to Lolipop still because I have had 4.4.4 before this.
I haven't decided if I'm ever upgrading to Lollipop.
