Important notes:

1. If you want to say "Thanks!"

There are many ways to show your support to the developer. You can:

• Press the "Thanks" button.
• Hit the donation button and "buy me a beer".
• Share your opinion about my work and write some feedback in respective thread.
• Advertise my work to your friends.
• Rate my thread with 5 stars.

Every way of support is highly appreciated, but it's not expected!​

2. Sharing policy

This forum is about sharing. If you want to use any part of my work, please feel free to do it but remember about some simple rules:

• Inform me about using my work by sending me a message. You don’t need my permission, just inform me.
• Include link to my thread from where you took particular files.
• Give proper credits for what you used.
• 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:

• ROM name - "Android Revolution HD", "Android Revolution", "Revo HD", "AR HD" etc.
• Graphics used in my threads, especially head-banners designed exclusivity for me.
• Other parts of my work that are not supposed to be used by others without proper permission.

Please let me keep my threads design unique. I’m sure you can do something even better yourself!​

If you have any issues or questions, please feel free to post them in the respective thread. Due to my commitments in real life I can't answer every PM, tweet or facebook post.
If you want to get the fastest and the best answer - ask the question in the thread. Every month I need to remove about 1.000 new messages from my XDA inbox. I’m sure it’s better if I spend this time cooking new ROMs.​

4. Signature banners for users

Due to the increasing number of users flashing my ROMs we introduced some time ago 3 special groups of members.

• Android Revolution HD Recognized User – every user might get this rank with proper banner by being active in my thread (or threads).
  Helping users to solve problems, answering questions or preparing threads with add-ons for Android Revolution HD are the most common ways to gain this rank. Just be active and we’ll contact you!
  
  
• Android Revolution HD Advanced User – every user might get this rank with proper banner by doing some amazing modification, application, theme etc. for Android Revolution HD.
  Creating simple bootanimation might not be enough, but you never know! Having Recognized User status before is not needed!
  
  
• Android Revolution HD Supporter – every user who shared some server space with us (with proper bandwidth) will get this banner. Please keep in mind we can't use DropBox shared folders.
  What we can use is minimum 20 GB of space and 10 Mbit upload speed. If you want to donate some server space to us, please contact me via private message.

Apart of those special banners, every user might use one of our amazing user banners collected in this thread.

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

Q 1: After flashing Android Revolution HD my battery drains much faster. What can I do?
A: Please charge your battery to 100%, boot your device in ClockworkMod Recovery and go to Advanced ---> Wipe Battery Stats. Also see Question 7.
Also please read this ---> [GUIDE] Enlarge your battery life : an attempt to fix the battery drain
And this ---> [How to] Brilliant Battery Life 100% working!
For more details about wiping battery stats please read this

Q 2: When recording HD video, the playback of the clip keeps freezing. How to fix it?
A: This is probably SD card problem. Format your SD card (FAT32 recommended) to gain silky smooth playback.

Q 3: Is there any alternative for SetCPU? I think it slows downy my devivce.
A: You can application called No-frills. Remember to check "Allow on boot" option.

Q 4: My Gallery app force close when I tap on any folder How to fix it?
A: Probably you removed Google+ application. Just restore it. (Thanks to Hunteres for the solution)

Q 5: Do I need to wipe data partition when upgrading from old version of Android Revolution HD?
A: I always recommend wiping data partition but it's absolutely necessary only if I mention that in the changelog. But normally you can live without it.
Wipe data partition if you experience any issues.

Q 6: I have some strange issues with my ROM that nobody reported before. What should I do in first place?
A: In first place you should check, if the MD5 Checksum is correct. Then flash ROM again and see if the issue is gone. A lot of strange issues can be solved this way.

Q 7: I had SetCPU installed on Android Revolution HD, then I flashed new version of AR HD and SetCPU doesn't work any more. How to fix it?
A: Please reinstall SetCPU.

Q 8: I can't send/receive MMS or I can't connect with mobile data connection. How can I fix it?
A: Please check your MMS settings or mobile data connection APN settings.

Q 9: My phone got random freezes or reboots. How can I fix it?
A: Every CPU is different. It seems that your CPU doesn't like OC or UV (undervolt). Set your CPU to default 1GHz.
If it doesn't help, then you need to flash default kernel from the second post.

Q 10: My GPS signal is very weak or GPS is not working at all. How can I fix it?
A: There are some solutions:
1. You can download and install FasterFix to improve your signal strength.
2. You can download and install GPS Status & Toolbox to manage your GPS settings.
3. Turn off "Fast boot" under "Settings" ---> "Power" and reboot your phone.
4. Wipe the EFS data in your device. Read this for further instuctions. This is very effective solution.
5. Read this, this, this & this
6. [Trick] Speed Up Satelite Fix for GPS on Android

Q 11: My clock/weather widget doesn't show my location. How can I fix it?
A: Please clear data from Google Maps, Clock Widget, Weather, HTC weather sync provider and Weather Provider.

Q 12: My Quadrant score is not as high as on different ROM. What does it mean?
A: It means absolutely nothing. Benchmarks on Android System are more or less lottery and they are not showing the real system performance.
There are many settings that can force Quadrant to show more then 3000 points but it's faked performance, that actually can slow down your phone in some circumstances.
What I always emphasize is a real performance, the one you can feel under your fingers. Remember that I/O has some limit and surpassing it shows just a numbers without true ratio.
Also keep in mind that Quadrant has support for Android Gingerbread only in version 1.1.7 and higher.

Q 13: My Wi-Fi doesn't reconnect automatically after boot. How to fix it?
A: Disable fastboot in settings or check this solution.

You think you're addicted from flashing ROMs, checking forum the whole day and you feel like "Android" should be your second name? Well, here's something for fun

Okay, now I'm getting my world news from XDA. I had no idea this had happened until I read this. Something tells me I'm spending too much time on here!

Well i have some similar experience. I just found out my wife is pregnant for 6 months already... Lol.
And the first thing I asked was : When will you release it?

So I guess i spend to much time here also.
Still a had some spare time it seems. Otherwise the baby is not mine!

My wife is pregnant for 4 months, ETA October 22nd (her upload speed is not so good). If only I could do a nandroid backup of my current life to be able to restore it after

EDIT : Grilled " One question, where is the super wipe script ?"

 

[TheDeadCPU]

Ofc, you make a ROM just days after my USB cable breaks and my device is bricked

 

[mike1986.]

I'm working on super-wipe, the thing is that there is problem with this data/media but I think I we found a solution

 

[mauaus]

I'm new to the super wipe thing, will it delete the internal sdcard and leave the external intact or will it Leave both untouched?

Super wipe is not ready yet mate, just use manually wiping in recovery.

 

[megacoolrock]

On Monday I will have my Transformer and then I'll update base to 8.6.6.10 and bring much more stuff to you guys

 

[mike1986.]

Super Wipe script

Theoretically it should:

- fully wipe cache partition (with erase_image and mkfs.ext4)
- fully wipe system partition (with erase_image and mkfs.ext4)
- fully wipe data partition but it will keep /data/media
- check for errors on cache partition
- check for errors on system partition
- check for errors on data partition

Use it at your own responsibility with NANDROID of your all data:

ok I got confirmed that it gives error status 6 I'll fix super wipe later.

What kind of hack were done?

[brownjl]

Tried Superwipe, but got an error applying/installing it in recovery (Status 6)..

Any suggestions?

James

 

[legents]

I have been testing for the last 2 to 3hrs for Mike, the rom is very fast considering that the is no OC, and very stable for an initial release...great brower is stable.

Just minor issues that can be fixed soon...am really looking forward 8.6.6.10.

It would be nice if more of you can try the rom out so we can get it matured quickly.
