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

No problem at all, you can use TB to uninstall the Gallery3d. But of course, you'll have to do it each time you install an update to your ROM. ;)
 
I have a habit of removing system apps I never use, then using apps2rom to integrate their replacement apps. For example, I don't use POP3 email, but I do use Yahoo mail. I usually free up around 12 mb, then stuff it with about 15 mb. End result is my favorite "mission critical" apps don't use any internal memory, and are available when the sd card is unmounted.
 
I agree, but I've had that address for the past fifteen years and it really wouldn't be practical to abandon it. I suppose I could just use their mobile site in my browser like I do for Facebook, I just haven't tried yet. Perhaps that is why my battery lasts about half as long as everyone else.
 
So Mr Jerry or any Dev for that matter. My question has been answered in simple yes/no form but I would like to be educated a bit on why swithching launchers (in my case ADW To LP) would cause so many force closures and small issues like temporary freezing. I'm getting ready to jump over to bobz rom for the simple fact its stock with LP. I LOVE Jerry's rom and have been using it since the January builds updating when available. But for me with every new update LP gets more and more unstable. Perhaps ill get the old logcat out ;-) Insight from some devs would be much appreciated.

I don't want to flood this Backside ROM thread...maybe Brotherswing will make a new thread tomorrow with a how2. But from what I gather, most are using their 3rd party recovery to flash the VM update.zip. Not sure why, but you need to flash the update again through the stock recovery (or settings/about.phone/sw.update once rebooted). The first time, I couldn't boot to stock so I went to stock recovery (home.button+down.volume+ power.on) to do a factory reset.

Have you tried a clean install instead of an upgrade? I don't use ADW either, and I never have issues.

I was hopeing to avoid that but I was eventually going to end up doing that anyway....in fact I just finished restoring from bobzrom. I enjoyed how smooth it ran and. Pretty much perfect and stable at way pushed OC settings. However it was a lil plain when compared to Jerry's. I guess it was inevitable that I clean install ;-) I still would like a detailed reason to what may cause the instability. Well maybe not too detailed lol
 
Hey guys, flashed the newest version of BACKside today and I'm experiencing several problems. First off, I'm getting a notification that my storage space is very low. After checking, it seems I have lost a lot of internal storage with the latest build. A lot of my apps are also not appearing in drawer and I cannot access them.

I'm not sure the exact version I had on my phone before, but I think it was a build from sometime in January. I checked the first post of this thread for any further instructions with the latest build and I can't see where I did anything wrong.

Any advice?
 
What would cause the boot animation screen to not work and display rainbow colored pixels? It's like there is no animations loaded, yet I put one on the sd card myself to test and it's still messed up.

I updated the phone to the latest build and theme...Any ideas?

If nothing can fix this, I guess I'll do a full wipe and flash a fresh copy of everything.

Thanks in advance for any/all help..
 
You need read/write access:

terminal:
mount -o remount,rw /system

PC:
adb remount

or

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system

Or use QtADB to delete the file.
 
I'm not familiar with Astro, I use ES File Explorer, it worked just fine. I think the file manager built in should work also. He's never said so, but I've always been under the impression that Jerry just uses the built-in file manager.
 
I also used ES file explorer to delete the boot animation. Press the setting button and check the boxes at the bottom that allow you to access and modify the root files.

That was an intentional move by jerry. He moved the dalvik cache back into the app storage partition.

Yeah, I found the file using Astro. I try to delete it and it says error deleting files:confused:

Try using E.S. file explorer. It has the ability to change your system from r/o to r/w and back to r/o. It can be a little hard to navigate some times. I go into the settings and change the home directory from /sdcard to /. This makes it easier to navigate.

If you have ADB established in your system path on a PC then QtADB is the way to go.
