Start with wiping the dalvik in recovery and then rebooting.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
reflashed the rom last night, and synced with android market, but didnt even install titanium, and went about my business. just now powered off and restarted the phone, and everything went fine; no bootloop at all. so the only difference between flash#1 and flash#2 was that the second time, i restored using titanium. why would that affect anything and cause a bootloop?
and sorry i couldnt test out with wiping the dalvik. i didnt see your post until just now, but what is it exactly that dalvik affects?

also i have a general question on clockworkmod:
some devs use the terminology "Format System" in their instructions on flashing a rom, after wiping all system data. what exactly does that refer to?
Wiping sometimes means only removing partition content.

okay I've run a few other Roms, and I keep finding myself coming back to Revolution because it is simply the most stable one out there. I love it. Might not have the bells and whistles, but it gets the job done. Thanks for a wonderful Rom. Top notch.

I'm sorry if you get asked this question a lot, but what's the status of the full wipe recovery script/zip. I really like that part of your TF101 distros. I can see though, that it's a tricky process to wipe the /data/media outside of of Android and not lose the block device that gets mounted as /sdcard on /data/media. Any tricks I can use from adb before your 'safest' version comes out? Also, which kernels are you recommending for your Toro version of ARHD?
Keep up the good work!

Anyone else having issues with the new Google Play market? Mine was just constantly force closing in the background and unable to launch, ended up having to roll back updates
Does the 2.1.5 version of ARHD fix some of the battery drain issues that were present in 2.1.4? I am still running 2.1.4 and I am trying to wait for the new cersion of ICS to be released but tge battery drain is starting to get on my nerves.
Also, ICS 4.0.3 (or 4.0.4 whichever is the next update) is still supposed to be released in March, correct? I have heard that some people think it might not roll out until May so I am hoping for some confirmation from you, mike.

Yep! I installed the new 2.1.5 version of the ROM and now the battery seems like it is draining slower than ever before!
The main reason that I do not update right away is because I have customized the look of my phone extensively and whenever I install the newest version of your ROM sometimes it resets to stock looks. I am pretty sure that I did not run Super Wipe Lite once and it reset so I was holding off on updating since it takes an hour to get everything back to how I have it.
This time it did not reset anything though so that was very nice! I may just be incorrectly remembering that I did not use Super Wipe last time I updated when I actually did. Either way, I thought that it was going to reset to stock look when I updated and that is why I was holding off. Otherwise I would have updated right when you released the new version since the battery drain on 2.1.4 was almost back to running a stock ICS (maybe worse!).
On another note I will take what you said about the new update as no one really knows right now and it could be updated in a week or two or that it could be updated 2 months from now.
I really hope that it comes out in a couple weeks at the most, I do not see why not since the version that other ROM makers use (can't remember what it is called) has been released already and is already on the other ROMs.Thanks for the reply mike and again thank you for making such an awesome ROM! I may actually decide my next phone upgrades based on what phones you decide to support.

mirror is dead
But what mirror mate?
I just checked and both links are working, but they are reverted by mistake.

The second link (the one that says Dropbox but isn't) links to a site, but I can't find this ROM anywhere on it. Am I missing it?

- When it comes to using my ROM as a base you are free to do it only if I don't have "Stock ROMs" thread available for particular device. If such thread exists, you are
obligated to take ROMs from there instead. These threads with "Stock ROMs" are usually updated within 24 hours from the moment when I release my custom ROM.
Sharing is one thing, but please respect some areas of my work like:

Finally, thanks for using my work! I hope you will enjoy Android Revolution HD!

Yes I agree with catmandu. Likely due to this ROM still being on 4.0.2. Even though it's relatively outdated it's still one of the fastest and smoothest ROMs out there. I, too, am patiently awaiting an update so that I can begin using other custom kernels. I appreciate everything you do Mike! However, I can understand why people are turned away (a week ago you said 4.0.3 was coming in a matter of days so it's just a bit confusing as to why we haven't seen it). I personally am patient enough, but others might not be so kind. You are doing all this for free, after all
I have no hardware to compile ROM from AOSP. So I need to use factory images, and no factory images were released for 4.0.3 yet. And I think it's not enough reason to rate my thread with one star. I've been through it with every single thread I have. There are always some pricks giving one star just for fun. I'm not paid for what I do.
Rating list should be public. I wonder if brave people will still be that brave.4
For Android Revolution HD [all versions]
- Change CPU max scaling frequency when screen is turned off from 700 MHz to 920 MHz - this is good for performance, but can decrease battery life
- Change CPU max scaling frequency when screen is turned off from 700 MHz to 350 MHz - this is good for battery saving, but can cause reboots in random situations
- Remove face-detection engine - this will remove the "Facelock" functionality. Safe to remove, if you don't use it
Performance Tweaks for Android Revolution HD
This mod will turn ON data_writeback for all 3 partitions - system, data and cache. This will drastically improve I/O performance (mostly on write operations) at the expense of file system integrity in certain situations, like unexpected system shutdown. The risk is not extreme, but still bigger then regular. Use this to improve your system performance, but you flash it at your own risk!
- data_writeback journalism for /system, /data and /cache partitions.
Download here:
Android Revolution HD EXT4 Tweaks v.0.1
This mod is working similar to "Render GUI with GPU" option in Development Settings. Flashing this will force whole system to use GPU rendering (instead of CPU) for all kind of 2D/3D operations. This might improve 2D operations performance, but keep in mind that some apps are not working correctly with GPU rendering. After using this mod you no longer need to tick "Render GUI with GPU" in settings. Even if un-ticked it will be still working. Flash it at your own risk!
- Force GPU rendering on 2D operations.
