This looks like a really good ROM, and I was impressed by the installation features.
Sadly, something must have gone wrong, likely in my process.
I've flashed many roms successfully, but Cromi-X Seems to have been sitting at the boot screen for about 2 hours now. The one with the blue Cromi letters and the spinning dots.
Is this standard first boot, or am I doing something wrong?
You've flashed an old version if you are using the one from this thread. You should use CROMi-X 5.1 in the dev section.
If you are stuck on the boot animation for that long it sounds like you are on the wrong bootloader. You must flash the bootloader first and let it reboot then flash the ROM.
Try 5.1 please.
