It was through the play store, in which I have done so many a times, to which I still get the same results as if I just cleared data unfortunately
I have browsed their website and unfortunately there is no documentation for this problem I am having. They don't really have forums on their main site, just a bit of trouble shooting which comes no where near this problem.
I have found that if I download a rom to the phones internal and then later transfer it over to the sad card some of them work but if I just try to put them directly on the sd card from a card reader they just don't show. I might have to just do that over and over till I have the ones I want on the sd card.
Thanks anyway for your help though
