Root [ROM][WIP] BACKside ROM (CM7) + Green Machine Theme

Those who had wifi issues, are you using the factory reset option in recovery? ;)

Yes I did. I also did a full wipe and format just like using a new ROM for the first time. Doing that wouldn't it be like starting over with a clean slate?

And thanks for the new build. I'll try it ASAP. :)
 
I have never recommended the factory restore option, be it in settings or in recovery. Factory restore should in theory rewrite some things to various partitions, that is not what you want when wiping. Which is why in my instructions I only list wiping caches, and I suggest formatting as a last resort. ;)
 
I have actually been under the impression that a factory reset is part of the full wipe process. I thought what wipe could be more full than a factory reset.
 
So I did the update tried recreate mount scripts and still lost a bunch of apps that it's saying are installed. But the WiFi is working.

Guilty as charged. It's one step I always took before installing a new rom. I will try to flash the same rom I downloaded last night.
 
I wiped and formatted everything. Went back to the 110 build. Wiped cache and dalvik only. Flashed the 118 build and have wifi again. :)


*edit* still have a problem I had before with 118. The default wallpaper disappears after going to app drawer and coming back to desktop.
 
I've been using the Backside ROM since the 1122201 build with zero issues. After flashing from 01092012 to 01182012 I've noticed some minor bugs.

Everything works fine except on boot there are no bootsounds. I downloaded the 01182012 build, checked MD5, wiped cache/dalvik cache X2 and flashed the zip file. No startup sound, all other sounds are fine. So I repeated the process; downloaded 01182012 again, checked MD5, downloaded a new Activate_Bootsound-signed.zip, wiped the cache/dalvik X2, flashed the ROM and flashed the Bootsounds. No luck. Is this an idiosyncrasy of this build or is it just me.

Also if i try to reboot with the charger plugged in the phone shuts down and I need to use the power button to restart.

Thanks and keep up the good work Jerry
 
Ok so I went back in and manually wiped everything as Jerry's directions, no wifi on reboot. Downloading the update on 3g was taking forever so I went back and wiped everything then installed 1/10 rebooted, restored nothing went back and did the update instructions and now have wifi. This leads me to believe something is missing from the new build which is why updating from 1/10 works but doing a complete wipe and installing fresh doesn't work. Also the notification is transparent from the get go.

It could also be the extra code Jerry had left in and removed from today's (1/19/12) build. If anyone does a factory reset and flashes the new build from scratch, do tell if the Wifi works. It might answer some questions.
 
Just flashed the update and all seems to working great.

With each update ROM flash do you have to re-flash the theme you want also?
 
I just flashed the 01-18 build again without the factory reset option and still no Wi-Fi. It does the same thing as before. I'll try the 01-19 build now.
 
It's the exact same build, only changes are what I mentioned in the post about the build. CM changes were to translations, added my BacksideUpdater, and added the holo lockscreen images. No changes to any of the parts of the wifi system.

Strange.
 
I've tried to install the quicksilver theme I had before which I really like.... 6 minutes with a boot screen showing...

Have you tried doing a fresh install to see if it happens to you?
 
Are the bottom row of keys supposed to remain illuminated while charging when the phone is off? I can't remember if they did that or not before I had rooted and installed backside. It's been so long...
 
I can not get this is install. I believe I did everything right, but its not happening. It loads up and the green swirl spins around, but after about 20 seconds, it freezes up. I've redone this multiple times. What am I doing wrong?
