[GUIDE][8/1] Jelly Bean Now! Resources & Discussion

Re: [GUIDE][7/12] Jelly Bean Now! Resources & Discussion

I asked this question somewhere else but found this forum and thought I might get some insight. NOOB question here.
I just finally rooted and flashed bugless beast last night (YAY!). I'm having that frozen issue when rebooting. I'm a noob at this, so bear with me. I want to flash the new JB bootloader to see if that helps. DMMARCK you said to wipe cache and delvick. I know i have to put in on the SD card, then what? I am new, and just read that the bootloader was supposed to get flashed before ROM. So will flashing that do bad bad things and will i need to reflash the ROM and start fresh? thanks for the help.

No, you can flash the bootloader at any time once the rom is loaded. It's backwards compatible.

However, when flashing in a "session" (more than 1 zip to flash), bootloaders and radios should go first, then rom, then GAPPs.

It's also good practice to flash as little in one session as possible; mostly due to paranoia, but still, safer > sorry.

For flashing the bootloader, put it on your SDcard, reboot to recovery, then wipe the cache partition and go to advanced and wipe the dalvik cache. Not 100% necessary, but always good.

THANKS! I really appreciate the quick response. I'm going to work on this now.

Re: [GUIDE][7/12] Jelly Bean Now! Resources & Discussion

well that was pretty easy.
Got the bootloader off of the bugless beast site.
Is there a way to check that it was installed properly, even though it did go through an "installing # out of 207" screen

Re: [GUIDE][7/12] Jelly Bean Now! Resources & Discussion

Got a small problem here, hope someone can help..I just flashed Jellybelly 3.6 and everything works except google did not automatically download all my apps(yes i flashed gapps). I decided that i would just start manually dling some of my apps, and when i went to dl some of my paid apps google does not recognize it as being purchased before. Is this a problem with JB 3.6 or did I do something wrong?

That is not a problem I had heard of. I'd wait a few minutes--maybe half an hour--to see if the Play Store recognizes you and ensures that your paid apps are there.

yup looks like that did..just worried me because i have flashed countless roms before and never had to wait like this before. All is well now.

On a sidenote, this is my first JB rom and OMG its amazing everything feels so much faster and responsive. ICS was already damn impressive but wow JB is just great. All hail Android, king of smartphones!

I have to say, the Kejar build of JB is the most solid version of JB I have ran across. He uses Lean Kernel, and it is a relatively fast kernel. The phone stays cool and never really hot.

Sucks there is no more support for this ROM. And the only downside I have is the screen orientation change is relatively slow.

Come to the dark side Seiga, flash CM10.

Stock kernel is the most responsive I've ever used. No lies.

My only gripe with CM10 is the amount of work involved to install that ROM with Root access and gapps. I'm going to hold off on CM10 Kang until AOKP comes out with their first JB build.

JellyBelly has some issues that I can't work with unfortunately. Namely the MMS over WiFi issue, which works for some people but not others. I'm one of the others.

And I'm kind of tired of doing a clean install over and over. I'm quite tired of the constant installation. This Kejar build is the most vanilla version of JB I could find until I get AOKP's monster list of features. Even though he no longer is under that support, and is actually working on the same project that Jake has worked or is still working on, I find his ROM amazingly stable.

I'm curious to find out. Do a test for me on CM10. Go to Google Now and state a conversion number... i.e. inch to cm. Then after you get the result, use the drop down values on the screen and change one of the values.... Does it Crash Google Now? I'm curious to see if this is a Google issue or ROM issue.

I'll do that tomorrow when my fiancee won't kill me for not paying attention .

That being said, this rom is the best I've tried (JB based) right this moment. Fast as anything, with features. And honestly, CM devs > mostly everyone.

I just tried this on bugless 7-12 build and it crashed immediately.

Crash and burn on Jelly Belly 3.4.

So sounds like a Google issue. Thanks all.

I am totally not a social networking kind of person, but I be opening twitter alot to check on roman/aokp tweets. Just a feeling, but it's coming soon. I think the rom control section will be pretty full featured. Maybe not as robust as the last ics but will be good.

I'm sure lots and lots of us are waiting to get our hands on a JB-based AOKP ROM.

I'm just watching goo.im with Goomanager. Figured he would post the files there first before announcing.
