Problems with my ROM lately.

---

AOKP has been buggy for me lately, I've been getting really weird text messages that don't have english characters in them, and I can't download or send picture messages.

Is this happening to anyone else or just me? It was working great when I first got it, but lately it's been being really strange. Normally if I just reboot my phone everything works fine when it turns back on, but it hasn't been that way for a few days now.

Would wiping dalvik and all that stuff fix it? I don't have a windows PC at my disposal to install a new ROM or anything, so I'm trying to just make this work.

Those texts messages with scrambled text are warning alerts that currently being tested and AOKP at the moment cannot read them correctly. I herd you can block those text messages by using gosms.

What build are you on? I remember builds prior to build 40 had trouble sending SMS. The newest build, Milestone 6, has SMS working. You can install it on your phone without your computer by using Mobile Odin, flash EL26 kernal, factory reset, flash new rom and gapps. You could flash over your current from but it could be very buggy.

I'm on build 40 at the moment, But I guess since I have mobile Odin from a few weeks ago, I can try flashing the new Milestone onto my phone. There isn't anything that should go wrong, is there? Or is there anything else I need to worry about?

Also, how will I do the factory reset? Boot into recovery?

Download rom file + latest gapps and place them at the root of your sdcard
Download EL26 CWM Kernal
Download Caulkin's Format All for ET4G
Install Mobile Odin
1. Select EL26 CWM Kernal and flash it through Mobile Odin
2. Upon reboot, hold power+volume and boot into recovery.

Once inside recovery, choose the option factory reset, then wipe cache and dalvik cache.
Then flash Caulkin's Format all for the ET4G
Then flash the rom
Then flash gapps
Reboot

Done!

Thanks.

Also, when you said bugs can occur, what exactly did you mean? Could these bugs brick my phone, or just bugs within the ROM itself and not necessarily with the phone as a whole? And how likely are these bugs able to occur?

If you use a safe recovery then the only bugs to worry about are within the rom. Only bug being reported lately is seldom screen glitches...been on aokp since the last build and it runs as my daily driver. Calls/wifi/4g/video playback/data/sms/mms/Bluetooth all work fine.

So I shouldn't have to worry about bricking my phone or anything, should I?

Nope, kt's not something you should worry about if you follow the directions.

El26 kernel via Odin/mobile Odin, reboot to recovery, wipe data/cache/dalvik, flash rom, flash gapps, profit.

Just bugs within the rom. For example you might get force closes or apps might stop responding, some of your apps might not be there. Stuff like that because between rom updates, things change/break and applying a rom on top of a updated one is highly likely to break to some things. It's highly recommend to start fresh every time. You can still back up your apps using apps like Titanium Backup for example or text or anything of the sort.
