Hi all.
can I please get some confirmation before I mess things up (again)?
I'm currently running on CM7 RC0. I'd like to upgrade to RC1v2. The procedure I think is:
1. Download Latest CM7 ROM and put on SD card.
2. Boot into Custom Recovery.
3. Install the CM7 zip file and then the google apps one.
4. Select "Wipe Cache" then go to Advanced and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Reboot.
Is this right, or do I need to go back to the start and reflash the sbf, root, etc etc?

That's unuseful, even more if you do it after installing cm7 + gapps !
I have upgraded to RC1 without wiping anything...
Of course, if you want to avoid doing some mess you'd better wiping cache + dalvik before installing the rom, but it's not really necessary.
oops. Yes I may have got that in the wrong order.
edited sorry
If you first wipe than update over zip you are on the save site

It's also good to do a 'Wipe battery stats', on Recovery->Custom Recovery->Advanced. Battery can get a little messed up upon upgrading.
Check out the FAQs thread by antony.ps, it is very good! -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065798
The instructions for upgrading are in the item 3. They are still for CM7 RC0, but it is just a matter of substituting the files for the newest CM7 + gapps
thanks. I did the update this morning after finding section 3) in the FAQs - I'd looked there yesterday and completely missed them. Will now work on slowing down my scrolling speed so I don't miss important stuff again.

OK, I searched, and all that I could find were thread posts about the initial rooting process, and installing your first ROM. I just want to confirm the steps that I would take to switch from Myns 2.2 RLS5 (currently running) to Cyanogen 6.1.2. These are just generic steps that I can think of.
1. Perform all backups...Titanium/MyBackup/Nandroid
2. Reboot --> Recovery --> Wipe
3. Install from SD
4. Select .zip file.
5. Enjoy life

That pretty much sums it up. You should look for Calkulin's format all.zip
Heres the file. Just flash it from sd card.

It works better than just Wiping everything.
This post helped me alot when I first started also.

Thank you for all the help!
Also, when you restore your apps from titanium backup, I have heard not to restore with data, just restore the app. Some developers tweak certain apps and restoring app data between ROMs isn't the best idea.
Oh, and if you don't use the format all zip, make sure when you wipe, you wipe data, cache and dalvik cache (and sd ext if you have a partitioned sd card).

I did a switch from quattro to ice eclipse 2.0, using ext4 recovery. After the switch I seemed to be stuck on the htc boot screen. What should I do?

Isn't ice eclipse 2.0 for the Droid Bionic and not evo 4g?
I've just rooted my phone and now require a ROM which doesn't have sense UI, what one would be my best option?
Thanks
Anything with AOSP in the title
and CM7, cant forget that
The best vanilla Rom I have tried is redux, I found it much quicker than ginger villain.

I just tried to flash gingervillian on my phone but I think I must have made a mistake somewhere as it got to the gingervillian load screen and then just got caught in a loop where it'd just replay the animation of it. I then had to do a restore to sort my phone out.
I did follow the unlockr guide but it doesn't help that the guy is using an Evo instead of a Desire and the menu's are totally different in the Clockworkmod screen.
At one point he says you need to wipe the dalvik cache but I couldn't find this so just wiped the cache. So this might have been the problem? Also do you need to wipe anything else at this point?
You need to wipe everything, what recovery are you using - CWM or AmonRA?
I'm using the CWM recovery.
Dunno then, in AmonRA you choose 'Wipe' and all options are in there. Must be something similar in CWM
I've checked again and I have two wipe menus:
1. Wipe data/ factory reset
(under this I have: Delete all user data)
2. Wipe Cache Partition
(in this I have: Wipe cache)
Hmmm, not as many as AmonRA - find that surprising but probably better to see what someone else says

After you do the first 2 wipe's go to advanced its the last menu and do wipe dalvik cache, after that it should work fine...

What do you mean by after I do the first two wipes?
Do I delete user data, wipe cache and also then wipe dalvik cache.
Thanks.
Yes. A "full wipe" means wiping the User data/cache/dalvik cache. So wipe all three:
1. Wipe data/ factory reset
2. Wipe Cache Partition
3. Wipe dalvik cache
The order does not matter.
Ah OK thanks.
I don't like the sound of having to 'wipe/ delete all user' data though, does this mean I'll lose all my contacts, calender entries, notes etc?
Yes, but if coming from another ROM you HAVE to do it. Do a nandroid backup before flashing a new ROM and backup any other data using Titanium Backup
I'm not coming from another ROM but regardless I'll do the Titanium backup and do the three wipes and try it again.

Well I've done it and unfortunately have been having alot of hassle trying to get it to be stable. These are the two main issues:
1. I can't seem to get psx4droid to work properly. When I go to load a game by selecting its data.bin file the screen goes black for a few seconds and then returns to the select screen, instead of firing up the game. Does psx4droid actually run on gingervillain?
2. Also I have the other extremely annoying issue where if I turn my phone off it will not get any further than the gingervillain splash screen and just freezes on it. The only way passed this is to then go into CWM and wipe all the user data again!
Can anyone help with these two problems?
Use Oxygen 2.0.1 and download ADW Launcher, sounds like what you want, i have flashed just about all the ROM's and i reckon Oxygen is the best, then use UOT Kitchen to make some cool mods and ADW Launcher EX speeds it up alot also.
Plus its very stable and you wont get any boot loops or anything.
How would I flash a Kernal? I Want to flash Faux kernal with beastmod5
Sorry for the noob Question..
If you already have Beastmod installed (or any other custom ROM):
0. Download Faux' kernel and put it on your phone somewhere.
1. From the ROM, hold power and wait for the power-menu. Select reboot to recovery. Basically get into Clockwork recovery. Doesn't matter how.
2. Select "Install zip from sdcard"
3. Locate the kernel file
4. Select OK and wait for it to flash.
5. Reboot. It may take longer than usual for the first boot.
Don't forget to wipe Delvick and Cache before installing a new kernal..

Hi guys, don't know if this is going on the right forum or whatever but I have a problem!
So last week I rooted and flashed my phone to 4.4.2 Google Play Edition (I'm a noob to all of this) may I add that I have a GT-i9505 model with an unlocked bootloader etc (as I have an international s4)
Phone was working fine except for a few bugs such as camera application would stop working.
So I decided to have to have a look around at another ROM to change and flash it and I found the 4.4.2 Liquidsmooth ROM (which looks pretty good and seems to be everything I need) so I started to reflash it all again (as I did before) however I have 35% battery and my flash failed with the error
'file_getprop: failed to stat "/system/build.pro" error executing updater binary in zip.
So what is it I'm doing wrong? Is it coz I'm flashing on top of another ROM? I have no idea, can someone point me in the right direction? I'm not using an ext SD card for this either!
If you can a noob version would be awesome! Thank you so much for reading this!

Ok you must wipe your old rom first but MAKE A BACK UP, firstly go into recovery (cwm or twrp) and go to "back up" and make a back up. second go to wipe and wipe cache then wipe dalvic cache (if your using cmw you will have to go to advanced on the home screen to wipe dalvic cache)
third go back to wipe and wipe system, after that wipe the cache and dalvic cache just like before
And for the final stage go to install, find the rom you want (will be a zip file) and then flash it, when done wipe cache and dalvic cache one more time then reboot
And bam you should have you new custom rom (you dont have to keep wiping the cache and dalvic cache but its recomended)

Glad i could help :laugh:
the most important thing is read, read and read the instruction before applying any flash.
I always do that and never fail
Hello,
I'll just flashed my HTC, and installed Android Revolution HD 71.1 and this included the Harman/Kardon audio.
But now I have a problem, I was trying to hear a different but when I played a song with the standard music app, I didn't hear a thing. Same problem with Google Music.
But when I start YouTube and play a video, there is sound.
Does anyone know the problem or does someone know the solution?
Thanks.
Maartenll
Did you do a clean install (wipe data, Dalvik and cache before flashing the ROM)?

Uhm.. not really. I followed these:
--
How to flash:
Download ROM and place it on your virtual SD card
Boot your phone in recovery mode (vol down + power)
In main menu, select "install zip from sdcard"
Select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of Android Revolution ROM
You can use data wiping option in AROMA (optionally if coming from earlier version of my ROM, obligatory if coming from stock or other custom ROM)
After flashing process is complete, reboot the device
--
And i did a data wiping.

I always wipe in recovery. AROMA wipes have known to be problematic on past devices.
Try to wipe data, Dalvik and cache (the is the default factory reset in TWRP) and flash again, and see if that helps.

Thanks for your reply's, i did all you said.. but didn't help.
I will try once again but this time without installing the Harman/Kardon software.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/9x3twhxlx797tai/hk_enable_and_adsp_update_v3.zip
Try flashing this in twrp.
Thanks for your help guys. I appreciate it.
Yesterday i reinstalled my ROM without the Harman/Kardon audio, and it works now.
So I will just let it be this way.
This topic can be closed now.

Just in case you did want HK, you need to be s off to guarantee it working.
Or if you are s on, install a sound mod like project era first then HK.
Anyway good to hear you got it sorted
