A little of topic.
If I rename a backup in ROM TOOLBOX will I have a md5 mismatch error in recovery restoring it?

As long if you don't include spaces in the name it will be fine.
Lowering my max cpu speed didn't seem to help the reboot problem, so I tried raising the min cpu speed (from 245 to 364 I believe) and it hasn't crashed since. I have not played with stuff in between yet. Anyone else had problems with 245? I'm using rom toolbox's speed settings function, if that matters.

Thanks for all the info guys.
I didn't mention the phone being rooted to him, so he seems to know something we don't, or I've yet to hear of.
As for the partition angle he spoke of. I've noticed it with the Google music app. Supposedly.... It won't allow you to add music you can't prove ownership of. But I've noticed songs I've picked up over the years syncing with that app. The other day though I came across the file where the songs get cached to. (Didn't think to write it down at the time)
As for the play movies downloading to rooted devices. It's the first time it's ever been actually used in the house so I've never had the chance to see it play out.
I'll check out that app though and see what's up.
Thanks again guys, he's been texting me all day to see if there had been a response to that question. Kid doesn't have any patience
I think the problem might be that the Videos.apk is missing from the build. Here's a flashable .zip to restore it. See if that fixes the problem (I used to think it was bloat, this might no longer be the case if it solves the Play Store problem). The MD5 Sum is 37142b6d20b4b73c9197e01b2783f7bb. Afterwards, I would also choose Fix Permissions in CWM as well.
(SUPPORT) I made a nand b4 I installed the updated Sleipnir when I tried to restore it started to but then said something went wrong error any ideas? I had to restore an older nand
If the error is an MD5 Mismatch, see this thread.
As for the ringtones, click here. I've made a flashable .zip to restore the default ringtones in Sleipnir for you. MD5 Sum is d054dfb1c1645e3dcaaa0a8881c20973. I would do a Fix Permissions run in CWM afterwards too.
I haven't, but I'm assuming that 245MHz is like 1612MHz - they're the absolute limit without the phone catching fire, but not every Elite can handle it. Glad to hear that 364MHz is working great for you! I actually even just went ahead and updated the OP with your info on 245MHz.
EDIT: There was a suggestion PMed to me to add a Table of Contents. This has been done, as it should make things easier to find for everyone. Also, I edited the steps for reporting problems on this thread, the Hydra thread, and the CWM FAQ-Guide, so they're no longer douchy-sounding. Lol.

Using this on my son's Elite. Stable so far as I can tell. Well done.

Just a quick note to devs/themers...the UOT theme kitchen adds lots of extraneous images to your framework /
systemui apks eg ha.ving 200 battery images in your system ui when the images are called from framework ...that afds a lot of size to an apk. Just putting that out there. I personally rather decompile and change things then compress and recompile. Cleaner that way. Good job on this rom though

I've tried removing them before from SystemUI.apk, but then I got a loop of force closes post-boot, in the past. It may work now though, so I'll give it a shot again.

Uot also gives you a uot config xml file, perhaps that's tied into it?
Artine
Android Expert
It's possible. I think I'll do for the SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk what I did with the entire build last time - open them up, and add only what was modified to the stock Aeneas .apks.
EDIT: I'm rebuilding the entire theme from scratch with UOT, and I might be able to edit xml files in APKs, finally, too. The status bar is going to change, as well as the blank/solid-black category spacers on the notifications menu too. I'm going to try for a more-holo look.
I've been running this for about 4 days (thought I'd try it again). It's been pretty stable until this morning, when, while viewing something in Dolphin it suddenly did its flicker/flicker/softreboot thing. It then rebooted about 6 times. I even pulled the battery for a while to stop it.
I eventually got it to stop by going into recovery and formatting cache. (Not dalvic - the one under /data in the front page options).
Any idea why it suddenly does this? Ecksperia doesn't seem to?

rdoac,
I sometimes have the flicker / reboot, usually only once and it only happens if I power the phone off and then back on.
Not sure why it happens.
Also a lot of times when it does flicker / reboot for me, my SD card shows mounted, but I can not access it. I unmount and then remount it and it will work fine.
This phones just crazy..... Some days I get mad at it and think about getting a different phone, but the grandfather plan I have keeps me putting up with it.
Never tried any of the other ROMs to see it the same rebooting happens....waiting for the CM9 to get the camera working before I try that ROM.....

Yea, but it's only $5 a month more if you switch and auto pay. And the Samsung Victory is 4G.
I'm moving asap... either Nexus 4, HTC One or iPhone 5... still haven't decided. Of course, that will mean moving to T-Mobile pre-paid.BOb

Odd other than some initial signal issues(that have seemed to.resolve.themselves) the device seems pretty solid. I got one for my son and rooted/rommed it and its been stable. Its a hardware revision 1.1 running this rom . So maybe if you have an earlier hardware version?

That happens to me to. But usually when I do long task with it. Like moving a file that's 123MB from one SD to the other. Or making a backup with my backup pro. It doesn't happen again after the soft reboot.... Until I do another long task.
Is there any way to fix this?

I looked around a little and did not come across the $5 more with auto pay. I thought the Beyond Talk was $35.00..... $30.00 would not be bad and tolerable.Yea, but it's only $5 a month more if you switch and auto pay. And the Samsung Victory is 4G.

I've looked at the Samsung Victory and might try one, once the price comes down. Start getting over $150 for a phone, I get antsy.
It's $35 /mo.. but there is a $5 discount per month if you put a credit card on file and set it to auto pay. I have 3 phone lines I pay $30/mo for and two that I pay $25 for.
Hmm.... although maybe it is only for iPhone... Apple iPhone | Virgin Mobile USA . I'm not 100% sure... you could call and ask.
Event still, $35 a month for 4G service is pretty damn good. What use is pay $25 /mo if the phone doesn't even work most of the time on 3G?

That was reportedly fixed as of v2.4.0.1. Is that bug back again?
To add to this: I've looked at most/all of the other pre-paid, non-contract providers out there. Just about everyone is $10-$20 more, at a minimum, than Virgin Mobile, for the same benefits we get from VM. You can find other plans that only give you parts of what we have, and lesser in the other categories, but for unlimited data (with throttling at 2.5GB), unlimited texts, and 300 anytime minutes at a minimum, I haven't found anything close to the same at a similar price point.

I've been using CM9 for about a month now, and although CM9 it's great, I'm returning back to sleipnir 
Just curious, would you mind it i go through your ROM and offer suggestions through pm's?

Go right ahead - anyone and everyone has been free to do so
Keep in mind that most of the ROM has been ironed out, and it's near completion as far as any goals for it are concerned, with only a few left (CM swipe notifications if I can implement it, full kernel-level init.d support instead of ad-hoc support, some GUI updates, etc.). It's a barebones how-stock-should-have-been ROM in concept, and once it's done it's done for, well, good. Unless a bug is discovered or some apps need updating or something like that. Afterwards, Hydra will be updated one last time, and then it's off to other projects (like Project Mayhem) for the OE or compiling guides for other Android things, etc. I'm actually going to - in my spare time this week when I'm not working - doing some work on the theme for Sleipnir and some more work on Project Mayhem (more app updates - DroidSheep and Lucky Patcher, as well as LBE Security Master, and if anyone has some great app replacements for the stock Google ones let me know!).

Notification swipe doesn't seem to hard, I was looking it up on xda and its really nothing more than a few xml changes

That and acheps notification layout ate both relatively simple and give GB roms that real ICS feel. One thing my son pointed out to me was that the DownloadeProvider apk needs the text inverted as well as the ongoing phone notification. Looking forward to the refreshed version of this rom.
The closest I've found is t-mobiles $30/mo pre-paid. It is unlimited data, 5GB high speed before throttling to 2G, unlimited text and 100 talk minutes. This is fine for me since I probably only use 10-20 mins at most voice. This is probably where I'll end up, with a Nexus 4, that's $299 (8GB)/$349 (16GB). Or I may splurge and get an iPhone 5 or the HTC One which are true LTE phones.

The status bar was the only thing i didn't really like, everything else is great.
Right now i have Holo Launcher set to hide status bar when i swipe up on the main menu but it only works on the main menu, when i open an app it reappears.
Is there a way to disable it even while running apps?
