Guys I have simple question...
I am currently using Cyanogenmod 7.0.3-buzz in my wildfire and thinking to upgrade to Cyanogenmod nightly, all I wanna ask is that do I need to flash my phone again, as in wipe all data n wipe cache (factory reset) in clockwork recovery or should I just install 'CM nightly' over it without flashing?
Thanks

Just install over your existing setup. (But, don't forget to take a Nandroid backup incase the Nightly proves to be unstable - If it does, then you would have to perform a clean install, ie - Perform Data Wipe in Clockworkmod and re-flash)
thanks a lot bro.... 1 more small thing i need to ask...
i just saw that almost everyday a new nightly version comes Cyanogenmod's site, so which 1 should i get? or should get the latest 1 which came on Cyanogenmod site? and if i install the very latest 1, so do i need update it daily?? as almost daily a new version arrives on the site...
Check out the feature changes - It it's something you want then upgrade otherwise don't bother.
okk but how do i check features? i mean when i click on download on CM site, it shows all zip files... where to check feature?
Changelog is here:
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=buzz
It shows the global changelog for all devices, so, everything may not be Wildfire specific. Click the feature to see the details, but, it's all slightly technical.
Nightlies do release everyday, but it is not necessary to upgrade everyday. Upgrade only if there is a feature in a new one that catches your fancy.
thanks brother... you rock !!
Hi,
it's possible to flash only new/changed part of the rom?
Now im on ARHD 9.2.0 ( one x), and actual version is 9.3.1, but if i flash it i will loose all flashed mods ( battery icon, sense 4.5 camera, APM and EQS).
Thank you.

If you are coming from older version of a ROM it should not affect current mods. Just remember not to wipe data and everything should be ok

Yes it will.
You'll have to flash the mods again.

I have to flash all mod's again, after every rom "update". And i didn't wipe data, so everything else is ok, settings, apps, messages, wallpaper, even alarm's. but i have to flash every mod again

I know, but I thought that maybe there is another way to update without losing installed mods.
and what about https://www.otaupdatecenter.pro/ ?
Mods are written for a certian base, if you're moving up in base then the mods will have to be re-written unless otherwise stated

It is the same base 2.17. .
so mods should remain after flashing new rom?
but i always have to flash them after flashing new rom.
The issue is when flashing the new ROM it obviously overwrites the Mods so you'll still have to flash them after flashing the ROM. You won't have to wipe data, though
That's the reason I switched to stock again . I need the Rom which doesnt need full wipe when ever base change . Like how HTC sends OTA

Some roms like viperX have OTA. and it's like stock OTA update, only few MB and not whole rom.
A "mod" is basically a modified framework-file that replaces the original framework-file when flashed. For instance a battery% mod is part of the file systemUI.apk . As you cannot install only parts of that file, the whole file is replaced by the mod. The other way round of course, any new rom will again flash the original version of that file, thus overwriting and deleting the mod.
That is good ofc when the new rom NEEDS another systemui.apk, because the old, modded one would bring trouble. But if you stay on the same base it means additional work.
That is unavoidable unfortunately, at least in general (there are some theming mods that avoid that, but that would work only when the only modded files are graphics, not when code is involved).
I hope that explains the problem and it's reasons a bit.

Thank you. I never thought of it that way
ROM: [ROM][4.2.2]EnviroROM[V4][Pre-Final]
GAPPS: Superslim Gapps for JB 4.2.2
Every time I do a ClockworkMod-Backup ( I think its Nandroid?!) and reboot the GAPPS Initialize-Dialog shows up.
Why? And more important: How can I stop it?
Must be some problem with the GAPPS...That should'nt happen in general
My advise would be to reflash the rom with another set of GAPPS(there are tons of versions for our device,pick one )

Too many choices
Yeah. I've got no time and a sami-broken phone... I going to flash another rom next week.
Another guy told me to use the goo-manager app to download the correct GAPPS package. I think thats a great and simple solution, but sadly there is only the "big" version and no slim-package.
Anyway: Thanks for your advice.
Because of all the slowdowns in kitkat, I decided to give ICS another try.
Specs:
-Based on CyanogenMod 9
-With Mackay kernel (updated to 3.0.101, updated governors & schedulers, XL RAM some other nice stuff):
https://github.com/kasperhettinga/samsung-kernel-aries/commits/mackay-cm9-2014
-TWRP 2.2.2.0
-no 720p possible, XLMem (do not ask for other flavours, I just make a one-flavour option tuned for smoothness)
Download:
https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/kasperhettinga/sgs/rom/pre-KK//
Gapps:
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
This are the latest official gapps. Newer gapps can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.om/showpost.php?p=50748003&postcount=135
(I haven't tested this package, I also don't think latest gapps is relevant, as gapps get updated through Play Store anyway)
Install:
-From existing CM9: install on top + flash gapps
-From any jellybean ROM: you can try to install it on top, but it may result in bootloops, requiring flashing GB through Odin (see below for next steps). Flash ROM. Flash gapps.
-From stock Samsung GB: install CF-ROOT-CWM kernel, or any other CWM containing kernel. Flash ROM. Flash gapps.
You need to flash gapps on every new build, backup/restore of gapps does not work yet!
If you have space issues, you can use a solution to bind /datadata to /data partition:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50653795&postcount=55
THIS IS NOT AN ADVICE TO DO THIS! I do not like this solution, as it will slow down your phone (especially with the slow internal memory chip). And it goes against my lean & mean philosophy for this ROM. Therefore: please think well before doing this!

Are there any cherrypicks from CM10/11 or other aosp based builds to this interesting project?
woah .! ?
Few bugs:
1. About Phone - CM Upader = FC Settings
2. Preformence = No schedular option
Runs smooth and excellent.
great works great perfomance

Wow, that was totally unexpected! Thank you very much! @kasper_h I was wondering: does your rom use the older partition layout, that was introduced in ics, which caused datadata to be full, or the jb one? It would be awesome if you switched to the newer partition layout *.*

You remember it wrong
ICS always had a small system & small datadata partition, both on the fast Onenand. This was actually the fastest layout I ever worked with. The changes in layout all happened in jellybean. And I will not start using jellybean partition layouts: I strive for speed and simplicity, which fits perfectly with the ICS layout.

@kasper_h I have 3 questions:
1. No 720p support at all or only 720p recording is disabled but 720p playback still works?
2. If there's no Performance->Scheduler option in ICS, can schedulers be selected using other ways?
3. zRAM , KSM are still there ? (sorry I am used to your KK kernel)
Ty!

1. 720 playback should work, but I didn't check and I don't have my phone here now
2. Yes, any cpu tuning app like nstools can be used
3. zRAM is on the to-do list, KSM should already work

Alright then I have a problem though: I can't donwload any apps from the Play Store, also, it won't update itself. The error I get when I try to download something is 403
WOOOHOO!
My dreams came true, it actually happened!
You know, I was testing out CM9 a few times and I noticed huge improvements in smoothness and stuff like that, but the most impressive thing that I realised was that the chrome browser was not lagging at all! I think this means something!
I just have a few questions:
Is it possible to port CMA here? (it's not really necessary, I'm just wondering)
Aaand what about all those super cool features from Omni ROMs? Is there any way to port those? (again it's not necessary at all, I'm just asking)
Anyway I hope the development of this ROM will continue. Going to install this right away! :laugh: :good: :good:
If you'll continue working on this ROM and we'll continue using it, we can make together the fastest and the best ROM ever made for our SGS, I believe!
The guys. Collect this ROM for Vibrant. Please!
Wow, our aging i9000 gets an encore ICS build!
What a joy! I will try!
I have a question regarding my old official CM9 nandroid backup done with Semaphore 1.3.0: is it worth trying to advanced restore only its data with Sema 1.3.0 to this ROM, and then flash this ROM over it to retain Mackay kernel back and my beloved TWRP with it?

Google Play Store is not updating itself aswell. Got the same problem with 403 . Coming from Android 4.4.2, I've flashed an Android 4.3.1 kernel, reboot to recovery, flashed CM9 twice, full wipe with system format, flashed Mackay CM9 and ICS gapps. Full wiped and system format, flashed the ROM again with gapps and the 403 error was still there. Then I've tried to go back to CM11 and the 403 error persisted.
Went back to stock GB and rooted it using Odin3 and then flashed Mackay CM9 and ICS gapps, now 403 is not showing up but another error appeared (921) and I've tried to clear data for Download Manager, Google Play Store, Google Services Framework, removed my Google Account and rebooted. Then I've re-added the Google Account and now the 403 error reappeared.
@kasper_h got any ideas ?

-CMA is not worth it, would hardly give more free RAM.
-Due to major overhauls in Android between ICS->JB->KitKat it will be nearly impossible to port anything back. Also, my motto for this ROM is lean & mean.

My play store is working and was updated automatically. I could manually install apps, and some gapps (TTS, Search) were updated fine as well. Maybe try deleting Play Store data, as that seems like the best way in any Android revision to solve Play Store issues.

Hello There!
I currently have a T-mobile Note 3 Phone working with Metro PCS (Yes I switched the carrier) and everything seems to be working fine so far.
My phone is currently rooted and I also sucessfully flashed W03 SlimKat 27.1 so far I love this ROM.
My current kernel version is: 3.4.0 W03 Slim Kernel Tuesday Oct 7 2014.
Do you think I need this kernel update?: CAF-W03-Slim hlte v1.0i (10/10/2014)
If so, can you please tell me how to succesfully flash this kernel update? Do I need to wipe/clean the current kernel before installing this update?

You just flash it like a ROM, no need to wipe anything, just flash. You'll get to a menu asking for options, if in doubt, stay with the default and just hit next.
If you want to get back your current (stock ROM) kernel, just reflash the ROM without wiping anything and you're back.
It's always a good idea to make a nandroid backup, you never know

Hello There!
Just in case I wiped the cache and delvik cache before flashing your custom kernel.
I followed the menu options and I only flashed the kernel (your custom kernel) since I thought if I flash something else I will have to re do the settings and install my phone apps again.
If I want to go back to the default ROM's Kernel, just flash the W03 ROM and that's all? without wiping or deleting anything? How about my phone settings and apps? Will they still be there?

Yep.
But if you just flash my kernel (first menu choice) you're mostly on stock and don't profit from any of the benefits.
Reflash and go through the menus, just hit "Next" till you're through.
To get back, just reflash the ROM without wiping.
Your settings won't get lost.
But as I said, you should make a backup, it's always the safest thing to do.

First of all, thank you for your quick tech support.
I did reflash your custom kernel and this time many windows options appeared and I just hit next until the end.
Everything seems to be working fine but can you please in a user friendly language tell me 3 o 5 simple facts of the benefits of flashing your kernel?
Also what is Wipe Cache and Delvik cache? I read somewhere else that it is a good idea to do this in order to install a new kernel .

Well you do use :
- different governor (handles CPU frequency)
- different hotplug driver (faux's intelliplug, that's handling CPU on-/offlining)
- touchwake (allows to wake the device by touching the screen when it times out)
- fastcharge (allows charging faster on USB chargers)
- etc. etc.
Might be worth having a read here and then here (Changelogs).
Dalvik cache wiping for kernels is useless, it won't hurt, but you'll lost time as you'll have to wait for it to be rebuilt on boot ("Android is updating your apps..."), cache partition can be usefull in my kernel's case, as it will help Aroma with an issue that sometimes settings don't get generated, so that you can do, won't cost much time. But in general for all kernels not using Aroma (menu system you saw while flashing), there's no need.

Hello, I would love to test Google's new Inbox on this GEM of a Rom. Anyone have an invite ?
Inviato dal mio SM-N900W8
I'm currently running v27. Is it safe to dirty flash to 28? Do I need to flash to 27.1 first?
Also I've noticed that video playback freezes occasionally when I seek repeatedly. Is this a common issue? Does it get fixed in the new release?
My smart cover only activates while closed and power button is pressed and not through calls. Is there an option to enable smart phone covers or has it not been implemented?
Safest way to update from V27.1 with Yank555 custom kernel to V28?
I have a similar question:
I am currently running V27.1 with Yank555 custom kernel but I would like to try out this V28 ROM update but I don't want to download and install my apps and settings all over again since they are a lot.
I am also using Nova Launcher and it looks like Nova Launcher was remove from V28.
Does any body know what will be the safest way to update from V27.1 (with Yank555 Kernel) to V28 (with the Stock kernel)?
Has development stopped on this rom? Not getting any news updates. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have a legit SM-N9006 3g Chinese variant on a touchwiz 4.4.2 rom, I am kind of new to roms and I'm wondering if the Slimkat rom would work for my phone. Thank you very much
Does this rom work on international note 3?
protected apps v28
I'm really liking this ROM. Great job.
I wanted to know if the protected apps feature is still in this ROM somewhere. If so, I can't seem to find it. Or, was it stripped out?
Hi everyone
I've been reading alot about this ROM and I really want to give it a shot
problem is ,, I have CWM recovery installed ,, can I use it to flash or TWRP is a must?
go easy on me, I'm a noob in all sense of the word
edit: boy.. looks like the last question to be answered was 6 months ago!!
Hi guys. I'm pretty new at this whole flashing thing and I've been working on a Note 3 (N900T) my uncle wasn't using anymore. I have been working on this for a few days now and this is the first thread I've come across that has a lot of success. I'd appreciate the help. I've tried to install the ROM from this thread but I got "e: failed to verify whole-file signature" when trying to install. Here's what I've done so far.
Wiped cache/user data.
run the ROM from the SD card (fat32) then that's when i get the error message.
Thanks in advance for the help.
