    I told you, you need wipe when coming from 9.2. Its a new kernel. It doesn't matter that you wiped before 9.2. Flash again and this time wipe

    So you're not wiping, its the one rom Darky insisted you must wipe for, all others could be upgrade without wipe but not this one, foolish not to IMO

    I think I know the mistake you're making, is it that when in recovery you're selecting apply sdcard:update.zip when you should be selecting install zip from sd card and navigating to the Darkys file at the bottom.

    On 9.4 you will have Dark Voodoo Recovery which is black with grey text, hold power and select recovery to boot to it.

    Anyone able to install Angry Birds Rio on 9.4 ?

    Removed SD card adn it installed, Aparently it's a known bug.
    Either that or unmount the card.

    Yeah, installed fine. If you're having problems installing apps with 9.4, copy it to your internal sd, unmount your external sd card, install it and then remount

    Is anyone on 9.4 missing the adblock program that was included in the 9.2 & 9.3 builds?

    What adblock program? I never had any, maybe you installed it yourself and now its not showing after a wipe.

    If you didn't have it then its most likely I downloaded it in a market frenzy post Darky's 9.2 and thought the source was Darky's ROM. Thanks for clearing it up.

    Hi Superfish,
    How are you finding the phone since you installed Darkys Rom? Have you noted an increase in Battery life etc ??
    I have a Galaxy S just over a week and am tempted to do this.

    im using the samsung 3x4 keypad as dont like the gingerbread or qwerty and I previously had go sms before wipe so thats what im used to it was just pure luck it happened to fix the xt9 problem, pcs are so much easier to mod and reinstall these phones remind me of the old pcs when you had to install everything your self in dos mode

    hi ger all I can say is after suffering with samsungs 2.2 laggy crap for so long this is awsome its super fast and does not freze up when using some apps, im afraid its still too early for me to comment on batterylife although I have been on it constantly since lastnight and all day today thats including installing everything and im down to about 30% battery, I know with that kind of use before I would be lucky to see 7 hours use although Il really notice once I give it a fresh charge. to be honest everything is just so much nicer well worth doing it just be carful not to be a butterfingers like me and put it straight into download mode ha ha

    I upgraded last night to 9.4 from 9.3. I use samsung qwerty and my xt9 is fine, must have been something to do with go sms.
    By the way do you have Darkys Rom config app installed, because thats all you'll need from now on to update.

    yes I installed it before I put 9.4 on and used it to do a wipe but to be honest any future updates Il be using rom manager its so much easier and does all the leg work for you. its deffo not go sms that was the prob because I did a wipe before installing 9.4 so go was not even on it when I was having the prob I did read on the web that this was a common problem in 9.2 and a few people are having it in this version to be honest if I could not fix it Id just use the qwerty keypad instead as ha dthis on my old blackberry although it would take some time getting used to again

    Fair enough whatever works for you.
    I'm finding battery much better on 9.4. At 72% after 12 hours above average use.Let's hope it keeps up.

    When you go from a sense rom to a non-sense one is there any way to get the HTC browser back?

    I've had a few issues with 9.4. Just wiped reflashed 9.4 hoping that things work better this time. If not, it'll be back to 9.3.

    If you don`t like or are not happy with 9.4, I strongly suggest you try Insanity 6.8 ROM w/ Damian kernel, for me I found it faster and bug free...
