Anybody have screen caps of the Insanely Clean theme?

Just back up your current ROM and then try the Insanely Clean ROM on yours. If you don't like it, then just restore your old ROM.

Can anyone confirm they have downloaded the blue theme and installed with no problems?? I have tried clockwork, sb recovery and rom manager. I cannot get it to install 100%. Once install finishes I get the Motorola M and just sits there. I have to go back and get my nandroid back up to get the phone working again. Im coming from Kangerade. I have tried doing it with and without wipes. Any help would be great!

You shouldn't have to wipe data, but when switching across 2.2-based ROMs you should still ALWAYS wipe the cache. Best way to do that is to boot into Recovery and then wipe cache from there. I don't think there is such thing as wiping too much. Keep wiping until it's clean.

This ROM is awesome!

The only issue I've found so far is that I'm no longer able to complete a full advance nandroid backup... it freezes half way through the bar while dumping system.tar.

Any thoughts?

Go into ROM Manager and scroll to the very bottom, and select Flash Alt Recovery so it will flash the SPRecovery utility onto your phone. Then boot into recovery and do an SPRecovery backup (saves those backups into /sdcard/nandroid/ folder. Then you at least have a good backup. Then just for kicks, go back to ROM Manager and do the first option for: Flash ClockworkMod Recovery to flash the latest ClockworkMod back into your phone. Then try booting back into recovery and try the backup again from ClockworkMod and see if it works now. If not, then try doing the backup from within ROM Manager itself (select Backup Current ROM), and then if no worky, try booting into recovery and attempt it manually from there (see if one option works over the other).

But as far as the SPRecovery goes, I usually do 1 in every 10 backups whenever I make a major change and get all the bugs out, I will make a backup using ClockworkMod, and SPRecovery just so I have multiple types of backups.

1. Don't have ROM Manager or ClockworkMod. Never needed them before.
2. Already have SPRecovery on... how else would I do a nandroid backup?
3. Nevermind. I tried it again (4th or 5th time today) and it worked.
4. Thanks

I misunderstood and thought you had ClockworkMod installed.

You should try ROM Manager sometime. It is really cool. It is an app that you install on your phone and from there, you can install ClockworkMod utility which is another bootable recovery tool. You can only have one recovery utility installed at any given time. If you install ClockworkMod it will take out SPRecovery, and if you flash on SPRecovery it will remove ClockworkMod and install SPRecovery.

The cool thing about ROM Manager is that you can tell it to do backups, manage and restore backups and download new ROMs from developers (like the LithiumMod v1.0.12 or the Kangerade v5.0.9 for example). You can also change kernels easily using ROM Manager. You tell it what you want to do, and it downloads the ROM, kernel, and all the install options from the JRummy folder, (or whoever the dev is), and then it will reboot the phone automatically into the ClockworkMod recovery utility and flash that ROM on, and then reboot again into the new ROM. ClockworkMod has it's own backup/restore utility built into the tool called 'Nandroid' , and it creates backups and saves them into a folder called /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ and it also saves all the downloaded ROMs into a download folder inside the clockworkmod folder.

I used to be a diehard SPRecovery tool user until I came across the ROM Manager / ClockworkMod duo, and now I almost exclusively use these tools because they are MUCH easier to use. But like I said before, I still use SPRecovery once in a while to do occasional backups whenever I get some major build working and perfected, I'll make backups using both ClockworkMod, and SPRecovery, just so I have separate backups for more reliable redundancy. ROM Manager has the options right in there to flash both ClockworkMod, and SPRecovery, so you can easily toggle back and forth between the 2 tools, but if you want the full automation of ROM Manager to work, you must have the ClockworkMod tool flashed on your phone.

For day-to-day ROM experimentation I prefer using ROM Manager by far because I can switch kernels, themes, and options easily without having to keep copies of all those kernels on my SD Card. ROM Manager will just download your new recipe and install it quickly without having to perform multiple steps manually. It is all automatic.

Hmm I am having a issue kind of its that gmail says I have 6 emails however I don't idk what its talking about...if I reboot they go away but slowly come back

Check your inbox from your browser. Its likely that the emails you recently checked did not properly get marked as read from your phone. Once your mark the emails as read from the browser, it should clear up the issue.

Noted items

Firstly this is by far the fastest/smoothest, most stable ROM I've ever flashed to my phone. Tried a ton of Kernels and thus far the P3 ULV 1Ghz runs the best - in fact my phone stays in the lower 80's in temps and drops more at times.

Secondly this is the first ROM where the Wifi tethering is actually functioning correctly for me which was a life saver at a meeting I attended last night. In any case I want to say great work devs and I can't wait for future releases! dancedroid:icon_ banana:

I am on the blue theme, thought it was working the other day. Seems to be putting me to far north for some reason. May try to go to my last backup and re-install
