Hi is there somewhere a guide how to flash the ROMs and any list of available ROMs?
Can you advice, recommend some particular ROM?
Hi first of all you have created 2 new threads when you could of created one and asked both questions.
Im assuming that you are rooted looking at your other thread. You need to make sure you have clockworkmod recovery installed, if you haven't the easiest way to do get it is to download ROM manager from the market. Load the app and at the top it will say flash clockworkmod recovery. click on this and this will install CWM recovery for you.
ROM manager is a great tool that les you down load and install ROM's from within the app.
The ROM's available in ROM manager are as follows I'm not going to go in to to much detail, I recommend you have a good read through the dev section about the different ROM's that are available.
CyanogenMod: Is the one of the most popular ROM's available, it is pretty much stock with a few awesome tweaks.
Virtuous: A custom Sense based ROM
MIUI: a really unique ROM that looks more like the iPhone UI, some people love it offers a lot of eye candy and some cool built in features.
There are lots of other ROM's available in the DEV section.
You can download the above ROM's directly from ROM manager and install them really easily just by following the pop ups. Or you can download ROM's from the the DEV forum and place on to your sdcard. Here is a step by step guide.
1, Download your chosen ROM to your sdcard.
2, Reboot in to recovery, select this option from within ROM manager.
3, You will now be in CWM recovery, select back up and restore then backup, this is really important and you should do this before flashing anything. it will enable you to restore you phone to a previous problem free state if you ever mess anything up.
4, Select wipe data, you should do this whenever flashing different types of rom, for example if you are running MIUI and want to switch to virtuous you need to wipe data.
5, Wipe cache, all ways do this regardless of what you are flashing.
6, Head to advance, and wipe dalvik cache.
7, Now time to flash your ROM,
8, Select install zip from sdcard.
9, choose zip from sdcard
10, Navigate to your ROM and select it for flashing.
11, Once complete reboot your phone and you should be running a custom ROM.
It will be worth investing in an app such as titanium backup, this will allow you to back up all your apps and settings, when you install a ROM for the first time and you have to wipe data you will lose everything you have installed and all you settings, Titanium Backup will allow you to restore your apps and setting once you installed a new ROM.
If you want a recommendation for a ROM my personal preference is CM7.
With regards to your other thread, don't worry to much about not having a back up there are guides available for unrooting and going back to stock if you ever need to, not that you will want to after trying custom ROM's
Hope this helps, good luck
Thanks a lot for your reply ,this is exactly what I was looking for now a little calm down

Are you Rooted/S-Off? That's the first requirement.
They should be in case I have proceeded according one of the guides successfully.
However I will check if s-off in bootload but where I can check if rootrd?

Do you have superuser installed?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Yes i have it .
Ok while I wanted to update superuser I've received notification: file package was not correctly signed.
So I think I don't have maybe a root, but I was proceeding exactly according to the guide...
How can I solve it in the best way?:/
Ok it seems that problem with flashing clockworkmod recovery solved by itself, I've flashed it already but still I am curious what about problem mentioned above?

Have you tried booting in to recovery?
Try downloading superuser again you might of got a bad download. But if you have flashed CWM successfully you will have root.

I have just done it, it works pretty well.
Superuser still the same problem. However maybe I forget to mention it but I've already installed it. It was installed automatically during I was rooting my phone using adb command. Now I just wanted to update it and the problem appears as I described in one of the previous posts herein.
Maybe it is not necessary to update it but I am curious why this problem occurs.

Not sure about the superuser problem, maybe one of the genius in this forum has an idea.
Have you tried flashing a rom yet?

You have helped already sufficiently a lot.
Now I ma trying to flash the ROM and as the first one I've chosen CM7
Before I'll do it pls confirm if I'm thinking the right way.
First I'll do backup all my apps (also titanium, Superuser and Rom manager need it? I suppose Yes, or somehow they backup automatically?) Maybe better question is what should be backuped, I am asking because on the list in titanium there are also apps like clock which are delivered with the software. You know after flashing a new Rom and restoring all aps I'd like to avoid overwriting them by the backuped ones.
The second is after apps backup I need to move created file from my phone into my PC,right? The same after system backup by clockworkmod recovery?

With titanium you just want to back up user apps and data (apps you have downloaded and installed). You can choose to back up system apps but you don't want to restore them after flashing the new rom.
You don't need to copy back up files to your pc, your memory card will not get wiped during the flashing process.

I think we should have a sticky post or at least added into one of the mega posts that people should freeze apps for a while before deleting them instead of doing it permanently the first time round.
Flashing isn't so bad. I think you can flash without losing data.

Am I correct in assuming what you meant to advise him is to first take a Nandroid of his current setup. Then flash the FTF, install CWM again and then use advanced restore to restore everything except system.
So... You uninstalled an apk to uninstall apk's?
I was using the Titanium Backup to restore the apps after installing a new ROM, but it ask permission to install every app (I have about 100 apps).
Do someone know an easy and free way to restore a lot of apps after installing a new ROM?

Look for ic_backup and ic_restore here on XDA. These are flashable zips from recovery. Sorry, cannot upload them atm.

Many thanks!!!
After a little bit of googling I found the ic_backup and ic_restore:

It will be very easy to install a new ROM now
The paid version of Titanium allows batch restore. It will also restore to previous app location (int or sd) if that box is checked.
Hi to all!
The Note II is my first Android phone and I haven't even rooted it yet.
I've used an iPhone before and iOS had a feature called Zoom under Accessibility. Google has implemented a similar feature in Android 4.2 called "Magnification Gestures" in Settings -> Accessibility (you can search for "Accessibility updates in the new JellyBean 4.2" on YouTube, I'm not allowed to post links yet).
My question is for people who use custom ROMs based on 4.2.2: Do you have this feature on your phone?
Yes I am running 4.2.2 and that feature is available.
Thanks. What ROM are you running? Is it stable for day to day use?

Stability depends on the ROM you are using .. Even the best custom ROMs have issues..
Alright...
- I have rooted my device using Dr. Ketan's guide.
- I now have the latest Philz Touch CWM and a not so latest version of SuperSU + busybox.
- I have done a backup in recovery (is that a nandroid?),
- Now I want to back up my efs folder.
- Then I plan to install Titanium Backup and do another backup.
Is there anything else I should do before I install a 4.2.2 ROM?

Yes to 3.
Use the tool available in dev section or in ketans thread.
Don't backup system apps as well.
For the rom itself I recommend slim rom hyperdroid aoxp or pacman.

I used the "Backup all user apps + system data", but I don't intend to restore it yet. I'm just testing out ROMs now. I've installed JellyBam 7.2.0 and I'll see how it goes.
One more question:
Titanium Backup wants USB debugging enabled. Is that ok?

Don't restore system data. It probably wouldn't work.

Is there any 4.1.2 TW ROM that has the "Magnifier gestures" (Accessibility) from 4.2?
Just remember when you update your recovery cwm or other your nandroid backup cant be used anymore... Did you try doing a advanced restore and only rstoring data to your new rom? Goodluck and enjoy ur phone.

When I signed into my google accoung from my new ROM all my apps were downloaded from the playstore and I only restored data for a few of them in TB.
If I restore the nandroid backup in recovery will I have my old stock ROM back or will there be any problems?
Yes restore backup is old rom back. However advanced restore data just places all the apps you had on the new rom.

You need to uninstall SuperSU if you were rooted before installing cyanogenmod, as CM comes with another superuser app... SO go into your apps find superSU and uninstall it

You lose installed apps, settings that you set when you started the phone, WiFi, wallpaper, texts/phone log, contacts
If you pick to back up to Google when you first set up the rom you can restore all the above apart from texts and call logs.
