Not promoting my theme or anything but try flashing the deodexed rom and then flash my theme...the mms.apk is custom and I've had no issues so far.

Hi...if you have a good wifi connection download it to your PC and transfer to the root of your internal or external sdcard via mass storage. You can also download via your device but in my experience I've had less issues downloading to PC then transferring to the device. As far as the file verification there's several apps available on market for that task. Just when you flash the rom remember where you put it. Internal or external.

Thanks!
Now how do I format/ data? Whatever I've done has removed the root. Is it in CWM? Where, exactly?

Try wiping cache/dalvik from recovery and fixing permissions. Did you restore data from recover or TB? If so maybe consider wiping data also. Then restore app only from TB.

You should include this with Sleipnir

No but when I tried to restore my data from stock gb it started doing that too and when I just tried to restore my backups from super backup and rebooted it started rebooting endlessly I read some where that its from using to much ram is there a limit to how many apps u can have installed?? Thx

You can have as many as your phone can hold. I have about 45 installed with very little issues (only experienced when I have to many apps running)

If you're starting fresh, you cannot restore data or you'll have a bad time. What you can do is after everything is up and running properly, is - if you have a Titanium Backup backup copied onto your computer - the following:
Start over fresh. Use the unbricking method, to get the phone to the out of the box state. Run poot, and install CWM. In CWM, manually wipe/format /cache, /system, /data, /emmc, and /sdcard, after mounting each one first. Then mount USB storage. Drag and drop the ROM from your PC to the phone's external SD card. Follow the first-time installation instructions in the OP of Sleipnir, including verifying the MD5sum prior to actually flashing the ROM. Flash Sleipnir, and reboot normally.
From here, you need to be careful: go into System Settings -> Storage -> Format/Erase Internal SD Card, and Unmount External SD Card -> Format/Erase External SD card.
Now reconnect your phone to your PC, on Mass Storage mode, and re-add both the Sleipnir ROM (just in case), and your Titanium Backup backup onto your External SD card.
Tell Titanium Backup, after installing it through the Play Store, where the backups on your External SD card are loaded. Now go to the Play Store and manually install each app you have backups of, one by one, until you have all of your apps re-installed through the Play Store (not restored through Titanium Backup). Now go to Titanium Backup, and you should be able to restore the app data correctly and successfully. Just do not restore the apps, and make sure you restore only their data.
You should be bueno after this.
Lastly, my girlfriend's OE would reboot almost on cue whenever she would try to install or update an app - we had to follow all of the above. The reason is because an app had screwed up some of the necessary files required for the cards to function normally, and so - in addition to the Play Store updates/installs - every time her OE scanned the cards it'd reboot. All is well now.
In short: you need to do a complete reset, because thanks to an app something isn't right with the internal/external SD cards, and will continue to give you hell unless you do a fresh start. You can get your app's data back, and contacts if you have them synced with Google or backed up on a .vcf file, but it needs to be done the long way. This phone is tentative, and can cause headaches, but there are ways to navigate its waters successfully
I wish you the best of luck!
No idea - might be different protocols. Try Wifi Tether for Root Users or Barnacle.

Flashed this ROM this morning and it runs amazing and looks good too!
Yea I'd like to know this also, Since the Kindle Fire HD only allows connections to an infrastructer mode while i can only seem to get a adhoc from the elite from this rom, cm9 (and varients), and GsnapElite.

The DevHost links and SendSpace links are all still functional and valid, I just tested them after seeing this. Just make sure you're clicking the right download button - in the case of DevHost, it's the black on that is horizontally centered on the webpage.
Still getting lots of random reboots and sometimes fail to receive SMS/MMS messages until I reboot the device.
I've followed the install directions to the T.
I've done an entire system format and fresh reinstall with a newly downloaded package from this thread. Problems still occur.
Just thought I'd let you know that these are still happening. I'll try to provide more information if you need.

Has anyone posted a video of step 3 of the install? Starting with
Format /data once. This needs to be done or your phone will spontaneously combust. Alright, maybe your Optimus Elite won't catch fire, but it certainly is guaranteed to not work correctly if you're coming from a different ROM and you neglect to format /data prior to installation.
I'm confused. I did get sleipnir installed, but I want to do it right.
Thanks.

That still works fine. Just tested again to make sure.
There's a complete breakdown of the options in CWM in the CWM FAQ-Guide, but formatting /data (prior to installation) can be done through Mounts and Storage -> Mount /Data, then Format /Data, again in CWM
I'm glad you brought that up
Just follow the First-Time steps, in order, and verbatim (word for word), and you're good. Which also means the /data format needs to take place prior to flashing the ROM itself, because that is earlier in the order. If you don't, you're gonna have a bad time, and if you're having issues after making sure you have done (literally all) steps correctly, then see below:Thank you for the report - this happens, and there's ways to fix it, and a lot of the time (based on feedback, first-hand experience with my girlfriend's OE, etc.), this stuff isn't ROM related at this time (there are still some bugs, but many were ironed out). Here we go!:
- SMS/MMS issues, if unrelated to the SMS/MMS app you're using (it's fairly unanimous that as a community we suggest anything other than what comes with the phone, for many reasons not the least of which is that it is heavily outdated
), then that's an issue with Virgin Mobile or Sprint because there is nada in the ROM that modifies anything related to SMS/MMS that Aeneas doesn't, and Aeneas works fine for SMS/MMS. I've had this same issue happen to me, and that was with the OE out of the box - it's an OE thing - Otherwise, if you've followed the first time installation instructions to a T, then try any of the troubleshooting methods that were aforementioned in the thread (I really need to make a section for these in the OP ), that include but are not limited to:
- Lowering your maximum CPU frequency step by step until stable.
- Raising your minimum CPU frequency step by step until stable.
- After Sleipnir is installed, reboot back into CWM and wipe /cache, dalvik-cache, and battery stats.
- Or, if none of that works, then an app might have screwed with you and the following needs to be done (it happens, and from what I've seen even first-hand it's unrelated to the ROM, and might actually be related to Titanium Backup and how it interacts with this phone [and how picky this phone is, mostly]), then see this post:

Fantastic! Thank you for the reply. I'm actually not using an app that handles my CPU. I do have SetCPU purchased, is that good enough or is there a better CPU app that you recommend?
I have Titanium Backup, so maybe that's an issue, I'll be sure to follow that post and I'll update when I get through it.
Thanks for your support and all your hard work, this is good ROM and I like it, just gotta fix these little bugs, haha.
