I have used both, and I like the touch screens on TWRP but it has stop working from time to time. CWM has always worked for me, but no touch screen. Sometime the OLD WAYS ARE THE BEST WAYS. Just my opinion.

Up and Down volume to move up or down and the power button to select what function you want to perform.

I have tried BEANSTALK 4.4.2 and VANIR 4.1.2 - 4.4.2. both were very fast but both ran the battery down to fast for me. Right now I am running stock, with all of the apps, that I do not want to run, disabled. I purchased Rom Toolbox pro to play with the look and feel of the phone and use the CPU Control for better battery life. I have been looking at Carbon so I may flash it in a minute.
Ok so I flashed Carbon and man I LOVE THIS Rom. So far so good, but I did (with the help of other) have to fix a couple of things, but this rom is the $h1T.

Hi
Could you guide me to the right thread, if available, or maybe state the steps you took to install CWM and have it work properly on your device, if possible?
I am really finding it confusing to install a recovery on the E-988 OGPro. There are many comments on the recovery threads where users are getting it wrong or where OPs fail to update or clarify the process of installing the recovery. Thanks in advance.

Does freegee work with the 988? It seemed like a pretty straightforward method. I used it for twrp and it worked flawlessly.

It's OK.
We are talking about the app from the playstore named Rom Manager
ALWAYS CHECK THINGS FIRST ON XDA!
Don't install apps like "ram booster", "cpu booster" or any ****ty apps like that before knowing what they do. At least search them on xda and see the general opinion of the masses.
Hi there. I flashed cwm using rom manager yesterday. I face no problem it boots into recovery. I even did a backup.

yes i'm also able to do this, BUT as someone has apparently bricked by using Rom Manager i thought best to do this warning until 100% confirmed
Flashing recovery from an app is always risky. This issue is not isolated to the One V. It's always better to flash from hboot.
Yeah...wish I had seen this prior...on a side note I did manage to unbrick via Hboot zip flashing.

[Q] Why Can't I Use Custom Roms

Every time i install any of the custom rom on my Hong Kong GT-N7105; the screen flickers on the Samsung intro screen and then it goes dark. If I press the buttons a few times it'll finally come on, but it does it every reboot. It also doesn't recognize the SD card and corrupts it. I'll finally get aggravated & go back to stock. What can I do different?
Another question. Why do I have to wipe & reset settings every time before it will reboot on stock after I install it with Odin?
I got an answer 4 u bro. Dont root it again and stop doing it, ok. If u don't know what you doing, then don't do it. It's 4 your own good peace-out
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Well, that's about what I decided to do. I don't like stock 4.1.1 looking like Gingerbread. I sure had a lot better luck doing my Note 1 that is when i stayed away from the D2att Roms.
Make sure you are installing a custom rom for the N7105 because the roms for the N7100 don't work on the N7105.

I try to use ones that have t0lte in the file name.
I have the same issue like yours few days ago but i manage to solve it. The problem lies with the root file. May i know what file did you use to root your phone? I use cf-auto-note2 on my N7100 but after changing it to CWM.... it works like charm. Do try it out.
Previously... after root or flash custom rom, my screen flickered. After changing to the right root file.... it is solved 100%

Sorry, I just now saw your response. I use the SuperSU 0.99 root file in the Note 2 Tool kit. There's a Superuser 3.1.3 but it wouldn't install. I'll look for & try the one you suggested. Thanks...

This is going to make sound kind of dumb, atleast very uninformed anyway, but, is my phone rooted now? or did the factory resest somehow get rid of the stock rooted rom that i had last flashed?
my phone has android version 4.1.1 on it now, it just downloaded 4.1.2 i think. Should I let that install?
Thank you guys very much for wasting your time helping a newb like me, it is greatly appreciated.
Thank you again,
GK
Check supersu or superuser if it is installed and it will twll you if you have root. Factory reset from recovery will not remove root. As for updating to 4.1.2, that is up to you. The update may not go through if you have root access, but there are other ways to update if you want to.

supersu is on my phone and it appears to be rooted (I think.)
When flashing a rom such as paranoid android, do i have to do it from a specific andoid version on phone? If I don't need to be in 4.1.2 to flash the PA rom that is based on 4.2, then I won't bother with the update.
Thank you,
GK
It doesn't matter what firmware you are flashing it from. If you are going to paranoid you don't need to update.

thanks again for everything,

After flashing paranoid you will likely be met with more force closes or even be stuck at boot logo. Just wipe again and you should be set. Good luck.

Paranoid android installed and working 100% (as far as I can tell, haven't done much yet.)
Looks and seems amazing so far, runs very smooth, hope battery life is decent as well.
I got rom manager from the playstore as well to make switching roms easier.
Quick questions about the Gapps package I got though, will that be compatitble with any rom? Or do roms always have their own Gapps pack assoiciated with them.
Thank you again its been a hell of a ride this morning.
Sincerely,
GK
You just need to be sure that your gapps package is for 4.2.2 or 4.1.x or which ever AOSP Rom you chose. There are not different gapps for each style of rom.

N1 CM Version - Root/O-Click issues

Hey there. Recently ordered myself an N1. Love it. got the CM Edition as I was going to use CM anyway, but a couple of issues have arisen.
Firstly, O-Click doesn't seem to work with CM, is that known and is there a fix?
And secondly, I have purchased a few root apps on the play store, but I can't seem to root the N1 with the APK Exploit that was posted here. Is there any known way to root the device?
Also, is it safe to flash CM11 on the CM recovery?
Cheers for any help!

Are you talking about PhilZ?
I haven't tried it, and I doubt that I will. I know that TWRP runs very well on just about everything that I've thrown at it with the N1 so far. If you try that recovery out, please post your findings in that thread so others know what to expect.

No, i don't mean PhilZ. I ordered the CM limited Edition version of the N1, which came with a CyanogenMod recovery rather than Oppo's recovery. (Use volume buttons to navigate) It's not a touch recovery. Which is the main reason I wish to install TWRP, but I understand you need to root for that?
As for the o-click, is there any fix? Yes CM may have fixed it but not on the OTA update :/
Edit: I accidentally selected 'Reboot into Bootloader' rather than the recovery, and now my device is stuck on the "###fastboot..." screen. (Replace ### with 3 Chinese letters that I don't know ) I have no idea what to do. No buttons seem to do anything. :/
Edit2: Fixed by holding VolUp + Power
You can fastboot flash twrp, then flash supersu.zip for root. If it still doesn't work you need to go into cm settings and turn off the cm root preference so it accepts the supersu app

I tried flashing supersu with the CM recovery but it failed to flash. It's it due to the recovery or something else? Also, is there a tutorial of how to flash with fast boot somewhere? Cheers for the help guys! Really appreciate it!

[Q] Cant make a back up on TWRP is it safe to flash a ROM?

Hey guys so i rooted my G3 using purple drake a while back and i remember not being able to create a back up it just stays in TWRP recovery forever. I was wondering if somone could point me in the right direction here because im a little skeptical about trying to flash a rom and my recovery not working.
I am still on D85110c so im thinking that maybe when i rooted it TWRP wasnt fully supported?
Thanks guys
No problem with twrp and 10c. Do you follow purple Drake steps correctly?

yea i did im rooted and can access TWRP i however cannot perform a backup of my stock ROM it just stayed there for close to 2 hours and then i decided to do a battery pull. Haven't tried since that first time but i just saw that sportstar's CM11 ROM so i wanted to give it a try
