[Q] Flash over or wipe - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have sky raider sense running on my d.inc how do I check what version I'm running because I forgot the last time I updated. And if i want to update to 3.3.4 do I flash over or wipe? I think I have sky raider 3.0 rc3 but I'm not sure

Nevermind I found how to check, I have 3.1 rc3. So do I flash 3.3.4 or wipe

Check his thread it should say. Usually to upgrade its just flash and im 90% thats the case with this.

If you're coming from anything before 3.3, which you are, do a full wipe. There were some major changes to the frame work, it's a great ROM, been absolutely flawless for me.

Alright thanks a lot! And can I go straight to 3.3.4 or do I have to update incrementally

3.3.3 is the full ROM, 3.3.4 is just an update to stop the OTA updates. Install 3.3.3 then flash 3.3.4 over that, no wipe.

2.05 Radio?

Hey guys, I'm looking for the 2.05 radio. I have 2.15, but my MMS isn't working, so I hoping that flashing back to complete stock, then reflashing with 2.05 and restoring back my Skyraider rom will fix it.
I tried googling it, but I could only find the one file for fileshare and everytime I try to use it, i get some error about it not liking the signature.
Does anyone have one laying around?
Thanks

Mms is a rom problem, what rom are you usimg
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
As my understanding of it, you'd have to go back to 1.x radio, then leak ota to get the 2.05 radio, there isn't a full flash update of it like 1.x and 2.15x
So, if i decicde to flash the radio img (im on 2.15 also) would i brick, or will the downgrade just not take?

How to upgrade your kernel, stock rom.

I went from CM6 back to stock so i can have 4g. I just feel like my phone is laggy. I am using sense, but very few widgets. And I am watching my ATK.
Currently I am using stock kernel 11. I have heard Kernel 17 is better. How can I upgrade the kernel when I am using stock rom, bootloader, etc? Also can anyone provide a link to kernel 17?
Any help?

Find the zip for the kernel, wipe davlik and cache and then flash kernel.
This should get you started....

Incredikernel with stock incredible

I have a rooted incredible without a custom ROM or kernel and I read that incredikernel has a really good battery life. Can I install this kernel to my stock incredible or do I have to install a custom ROM first?
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
Yes. For incredikernel you have to run an AOSP ROM. Flash Rom first, boot into it and the flash kernal through recovery.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
You can use the 12/23 release for the 2.2 stock sense rom. Just flash it in CWM. Or even rom manager can do it. Its near the bottom of the OP I think.

I recommended cm7, since most of the rom are the same but different name.
not really there are enough changes between most of them. sigh hopefully this gets moved to the right section...
Can anyone provide me the link to the correct incredikkernel that I should be using for my stock incredible? I didn't flash any ROM, just rooted my incredible as is.

Look in the incredikernel thread. The one you want is near the bottom of the OP labeled 12/23/2010 sense.

CM 10.1 RC5 install question

Right now I'm running rooted TW and was planning on installing RC4 but RC5 dropped before I got a chance. Being a wary person I've given it a few days to see if there's any major issues. From what I can tell, to get the best results, I should install RC4 then RC5 or should I only do it if I have issues.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
I clean flashed RC5 and haven't run into any problems.
Just flash RC5 straight off the bat. Its built into the script to wipe /system, so it won't matter if you flash RC4 first anyway.
Yea reading back on a lot of the posts i realized a lot of them mentioned they used twrp and i use cwm. Not sure if that matters but I always hear cwm is better.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Yeah, just install it clean off, I don't think there are very many serious differences between TWRP and CWM, at least not any that will ruin your Cyanogenmod install. Remember to flash the Gapps, I forgot my first time on AOSP.
Why is it necessary to install Gapps? In what order do you flash Gapps before installing Cyanogenmod or after. And were can I find it for my phone sph-L710.
Thank you.

Usually where ever you find your aosp rom they usually provide a link to the gapps download. You will flash the rom and right after flash the gapps then reboot.
If there's no gapps download link just Google search gapps you will find the goo download page with all the gapps for the different systems, make sure you select what you need.
The only roms you need to flash gapps with are aosp style roms because they are not licensed to carry the google apps.

I'll probably flash one of the latest nightlies, I'm not a power flasher so l've been reading the forms religiously in an attempt not to brick another phone.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Go for it, the nightlies are really quite stable, usually. Just read the posts to the thread for it to see if there are any serious bugs, chances are other people will have flashed it before you and posted their problems. Even then, most of the problems are just bugs that are usually tolerable, at the most minor inconveniences.
RC5 is running very nice for me, so far I've found no bugs and everything seems to be working.

Hangouts 2.0 in Google play store not updating

I'm trying to update my hangouts to 2.0 from Google play and it won't update to the latest version. I've cleared data and cache and still status in 1.2
Any help
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
I have the same problem. I think it has something to do with the rom and the GAPPS that was downloaded with the ROM. For example: I have AOKP 10/31/13 release and the GAPPS for that. The GAPPS are themed black so there is some sort of difference in the app and the one on the Play Store so it doesn't want to update.
Someone else shed some more info on this.
It is because the version you are using is from the gapps you installed. Uninstall that version and reboot then go install from play store. If you're wanting a black version, check out team blackouts app on the play store for blacked or cleared versions of google apps and much more.
But I have a stock ROM.

I think it's hit or miss. I'm running SlimRom 4.3, and my Hangouts updated to 2.0. My girlfriend is running the exact same rom on the exact same phone with the exact same Gapps, and hers shows the update but when downloaded, it's still the old version. Who knows.
