Hi all I am currently using AOKP on my new GNex and am interested in trying out Miui.
What would be the fastest way to switch between the roms?
For example now I am on AOKP but if one day I feel like using Miui and then switch back to AOKP on another day without fully wiping everything and starting fresh on that particular rom again.
I want to be able to switch between the two roms while keeping each roms setup intact.
I know I may run into force closes so to avoid those type of errors what exactly would I have to wipe? Dalvik? Cache?
Thanks I advance.
Do a nandroid backup via CWM, then format system partition and install MIUI
Backup/Restore in recovery.
Never tried it, but there's also this:

Boot manager sounds interesting but if I read correctly it boots from sdcard right? Does that cause any type of performance issues?
I may have to read more about it to fully understand it.
Unless I'm mistaken, the Galaxy Nexus only has one storage device. Its just partitioned up.

there is a slightly performance hit on other phones that use SD cards (longer boot times most notably). Since the GN is just 1 storage set, there's no difference

It's one big partition.
Boot Manager, on my Nexus, sucks.
95% of the slot roms can't see the SD card. That means no syncing, no access to downloads from the main rom, and most importantly, no ability to reboot to the phone rom w/o going into recovery and flashing the update.zip first.
It's a big pain in the ass, and the Boot Manager devs don't care. There's been quite a few rants on different forums about this problem.
I purchased boot manager pro months ago ,then realised it doesn't work on galaxy nexus like it claimed an removed it not long after.CMW ect is the only reliable option for switching between roms.

If you want to use the 4.0.4 Gapps (which work 100% and include the new Camera and Browser) you will need to do a data wipe.
Here are the 4.0.4 Gapps.. These Gapps should work with any 4.0.3 ROM.. Although if you are installing them for the first time you will need to do a data wipe.. So while your at it and wiping data why not go ahead and try out the new GummyNex;-)
Enjoy

Simple why: Because some apps will be unstable if you don't.
Real reason why: Some apps probably changed their data format a bit, making them incompatible with data from the older version.
In theory, you can go into app management and delete data for these apps, but there are almost 40 of them in this update. Sounds a bit dangerous.

Any chance we could get a list? Or better yet a CWM flash-able zip that wipes the data on those apps
There's no guarentee that would even work, better (safer) to just tibu and flash the rom you're currently on imho if you want nothing to change.
You def need to wipe, I tried for the hell of it without wiping just flashed a rom and cleared dalvik and cache. Nothing worked from Google except maps, so ima wipe later and do it right. Maybe even the blue will come back to my signal and 3g and 4g instead of being grey all the time.

Hi All
Im trying to do a wipe data/factory reset so i can install a new ROM but im running into a major problem, my wipe data does not work i have tried from the settings menu and also from CWM Recovery but to no avail all of my apps are still there and all saved settings widgets etc
i'm currently on Fox hound 1.2 and have CWM maguro touch 5.8.0.2

A wipe will not erase the contents of your "sdcard" partition on the GN. Are these the files that you are seeing?
Thought I would just try and change ROM anyway to see what happens I went for foxhound 0.2 and works OK but I can't open up the ROM control settings it just force closes every time
Did wipe from CWM recovery first but all of my apps are there with their relevant data along with Google, Facebook and twitter accounts
Will changing the kernel help?

You could always try wiping through ADB. See if that fixes your problems. If not, I'd say reflash your recovery maybe?
I've tried to reflash the recovery hence why I have the touch version but it didn't do much and I'm guna sound very much like a noob and I probably am but how do u wipe thru adb and will I lose things like photos and music on the sdcard??

Well.. I think it might wipe everything, so you could just pull /system/media (virtual SD card), and then wipe, thus keeping everything on your SD card safe. Go to this site and follow the instructions (setting up SDK, etc.) If you don't have ADB/fastboot. But you would have to have it right? That's how you got rooted? Or did you just root it using the Gnex toolkit? If so you can wipe your data partition through the toolkit as well. Link and Link

hi diggs I've managed to sort the issue but it takes time with the lap dog
1. Download wugfresh gnex toolkit or one that you are comfortable using. MUST HAVE STOCK FIRMWARE in with toolkit!
2. Backup all personal files onto a folder in the computer I.e pictures, video's etc ya know the important stuff
3. Flash stock firmware and unroot and possibly re lock boot loader this will return phone to how it was out of the box and completely factory reset
4 from here you can then unlock boot loader and root just follow all of the steps the toolkit tells you
5 finally flash any from you desire transfer all the personal data back to your phone
Unfortunately the data from the apps cannot be recovered and also the messages but your contacts would have been backed up via your Google account
I will find the post with the toolkit and re posy shortly

I've gone back to cm touch after using TWRP for a while.
TWRP is great, and I did like the ability to queue zips, but I had trouble with nandroids and with rom manager integration. Basically, I would hit apply in rom manager, and my phone would boot to the menu in TWRP instead of flashing the rom. Ultimately, nothing beats the ease of being able to hit a button in Android, and have the phone reboot and automatically install your updates. (On the other hand, if someone can tell me how to integrate TWRP with rom manager, that'd be awesome...)
With nandroids, the process took about 3 seconds and the files weren't nearly big enough, so I guess it was missing something.

What methods have you tried?
adb reboot recovery is the easiest way to get to recovery
Maybe try flashing CWM, seeing if that works, and then flashing TWRP (I've never flashed TWRP through Goo Manager so I don't know how that works)?
If you don't have adb set up, get quick boot from market and try recovery through that.
If that doesn't work, I honestly don't know. I'm assuming you've done the power off then volume up+home+power at the same time trick already.

I would highly recommend putting TWRP back on there. The CWM was more for testing... people have reported issues using CWM with certain ROMs. Glad you were able to get CWM on though.
Nothing wrong with CWM.
Aerowinder said:

There are a number of ROMs that do not support CWM so that statement is false. FreeGS3 loses update functionality, for example.
Also, there have been complaints in the case of CWM touch of it being too easy to wipe your entire device.
Not to mention there is no Goo Manager functionality without TWRP as well.
Lots of benefits of TWRP versus CWM. I used CWM for years then had to switch to a modified TWRP for my MAXX and was more than happy when I found out the SGS3 used TWRP as well (although I wish we had the ROM slots like the MAXX though - that was actually cool)
The statement is not false. I think FreeGS3 hasn't been updated for 4.5 months? Maybe not the best example. And I still think you should use as few automated tools as possible where flashing is concerned (Goo/ROM Manager).
It can be easy to wipe the wrong partition in CWM, if you are careless or illiterate. In the 6 months that I've used it (nearly every day), I have never once wiped the wrong partition, or my entire device. Never had a backup that wouldn't restore.
I like some of what TWRP offers. But I still experience showstopping bugs with it on my device. At this time, the devs are unable to track down the cause of the problems.

Don't get me wrong, I've used CWM on many devices for years and even have a premium license for ROM Manager but I've seen a number of ROMs explicitly say not to use CWM, FreeGS3 was just the first that came to mind. I don't flash often because quite frankly, I have no problems with Wicked v8 and see no reason to switch to anything else.
And I am neither careless nor illiterate but I have accidentally borked things using CWM before in the past (it was a modified CWM Touch recovery) and I was not happy.
I think most of the complaints about CWM these days though come from CWM Touch, not regular CWM. Sorry TWRP has issues for you.

Which recovery? Try erasing data, cache, and system three times each and reinstalling the ROM... If that doesn't work you might consider doing a back up of everything internally stored on your phone and then wiping the internal storage entirely and starting over.

Ok have you installed any app to sd type of application? It sounds like your internal storage is being read as external and visa versa.
Also i know there's lots of support for twrp but I swear by cwm when it comes to the GS3. I use twrp on my Nexus and that's fine but on the S3 cwm has always worked better in my opinion.
What roms are you trying to flash? They are sprint s3 roms right from this section?

I've done that. That's what the one post suggested.
I just don't understand why I'm still getting apps showing up when I install new roms.
What about wiping storage? I know you don't want to lose anything but it sounds like something in your storage causing this.

Please see my post right above this one I quoted here. Let us know a few of those things and maybe we can get you going in the right direction.

I haven't installed any app to sd type applications.
I do think part of the internal is being used as external but I thought that's just how it was.
I only have roms, nandroids, and titanium backups on my sd card.
I installed twrp because when I first started it seemed like that was what most people were recommending but it doesn't matter to me. I might switch.
Also I've been switching between cleanbean and liquid smooth, both from this section.
The main thing that bugs me is when uninstalling apps says "cannot read data/xposed/modules.whitelist"
The app still uninstalls but it just doesn't seem good.

A couple weeks ago, I was switching from a AOSP ROM to a TW ROM and I got the same error. Thinking it was TWRP, I hooked my phone up to my computer and flashed CWM. I then tried to flash the ROM in CWM and it was a no go. I still got the same error. I just decided to transfer all my data from my internal sd to my computer. I used Odin to flash the stock tar file. After that, I used QBKing77's method to root from recovery. Then I flashed my ROM and I got 0 errors. So all I had to do was start fresh haha. It took a bit of time because I was taking many precautions (as should you) Good luck!

Yes just as posted above, but before going the route of Odin back to stock. Copy all your files (important) from internal and external to your computer. Then boot into recovery no need to change now and reformat your internal and external storage, wipe cache and dalvik and fix permissions and reboot. Then download a fresh zip of a rom to flash and test it. If it all works then go through your files and move back what you need. I'm pretty sure you have a bunch of O folders in your internal.
