Develop Bugs

ROM question about flashing!

I am interested in running some ROM's on my galaxy nexus but I have a few questions:
I am looking at Peter Alfonso's Bugless Beast 4.1 ROM, I know that he does nightly builds, so my question being: If I install a build today, and he releases a nightly tomorrow or an upgrade, do I have to completely wipe and reflash the build nightly in order for it to stay up to date? Or is there a way to just update the build without losing everything.
Are ROM's safe? I know that they say to stay away from things like this but I feel like I can get the most out of my device by using a custom ROM.
If I don't go with a bugless beast ROM I am looking for something that is AS CLOSE to stock as possible, no added bloatware, I don't need all the fancy menu tweaks, custom kernals (which I guess I just dont understand exactly what a custom kernal does)
Any comments would be appreciated.

You can dirty flash them (flash it directly without wiping) and most of the time it will work without issues. If it doesn't then you will have to wipe then reflash.
ROMs are perfectly safe, and it's pretty hard to actually brick your phone. I'd say that custom ROMs offer customisation more than anything else but that's probably me.
Cyanogenmod is very well known in the community (and is rock solid) as well as AOKP (offers much more customisability at the moment).

Custom roms can help extend the life of a device. I know that I would have gotten tired of my previous phone, the Samsung Captivate, a lot sooner than I did if I hadn't flashed ICS onto it. Roms are completely safe. You just want to make sure you read up on how to fix a boot loop, or soft brick if you do end up in the situation. Make backups, have a plan B set and flash away. Definitely don't just go flashing stuff haphazardly, that's how you can mess up your phone.

You don't have to wipe when flashing nightlies on the same ROM. You don't lose data, its just like an update ota. you only have to wipe when switching between different ROMs.

Roms= 100% better than stock

A little advice...keep more than one ROM on your SD card just in case.

As a few others said, you don't have to wipe switching between nightly builds. To flash the next version of BB, just clear cache & dalvik.

whats the most stable JB ROM?

hi,
i know asking what rom is better is not a good questions as it is different for different people. However, I just want to know what is the most stable, so once I flash it i dont need to keep re flashing.
I am ussualy a fan of CM and when they get stable releases I flash them and then dont need to think about it anymore. on my previous samsung galaxy S I used the CM9 RC for a long time until the stable CM9 came out and then used that.
currently there is not stable CM10 and when it comes out I will probaby use it perminently.
What JB rom can i install that will be stable to use for the next months until CM10 stable comes out?
im using stock JB right now.

stock.

Bugless Beast, 9-27 has to new binaries and is JRO03R.

Rasbeanjelly. Its the cleanest rom ever. Fast, amazing battery life and the latest aosp source. Also the nee binaries from jro03R. You should try it. It has the power widget, lockscreen targets and some more mods. If you dont like all the blue of the icons, simply flash modstorms white mod. Flash the rom + trinity/franco. The outcome is awesome performance, no slowdowns, everything just works. No reboots and sh!t. I highly recommend it.

You've already got the most stable Jelly Bean software then

stock, are you jellin, cm10.
after those you get into roms with more features and and there tends to be little bugs that sometimes go along with them.
Nothing against the others Ive had good experiences on alot of roms but as for the MOST stable these in my opinion would be them.

Stock ROM.
Beamed from my Grouper.

ok looking into BAMF and rasbeanjelly.
another question that could help me dicide between the two. do either have the possibility to upgrade the rom on the device without a computer. so when i install it i can always have the latest version without having to keep resetting to factory settigns and wiping all the data and cache

all roms do.. that's why you have custom recoveries.. i strongly suggest you read efrants stickies before you flash anything.

Yeah, you should read up on some stuff before continuing anything Rom related. Just look for stickied topics, read them, and you will have way less questions left.

are you sure? becuase when i was running CM9 RC2 on my old captivate, then the CM9 stable came out. I kept checking for updates in the settings and it kept saying my software was upto date. I had to download the new file and flash it again in clockwork mod.

which rom do you keep going back to?

helo all rom testers
I am a 2 year old user of android
I come from Optimus one P509
I flash rom back and forth constantly with that old phone and there is always one rom I keep coming back to (if you want to know I keep coming back to oxygen rom for P509)
now I am done with P509 moving on to T989D
could you please share your experience here and let me / us know which rom do you keep going back to?

I would have to say, the stock Koodo 4.0.4 ROM. It's the only ROM that I'm able to flash on my phone through Odin that is completely clean of anything custom.
Helps when trying to troubleshoot installing custom ROMs with pretty much a clean slate on the phone. Cheers!

Hehe nice to meet a fellow O1 owner. I came from the Optimus One P500.
Oh, this phone can run on Skyrocket ROMs. Just flash a rotation fix and bam.
On topic, I think I prefer the CM10 nightlies as I keep going back to them over and over. However, I'm starting to use the Touchwiz 4.1.2 UCLL3 leak for the skyrocket. And also the stock Koodo ROM mentioned above was alwaysy previous choice. I still want to go back to it because its clean, no bloat at all.
Enjoy your stay!

what is d2tmo? I thought that is for galaxy SIII ? as I am reading in liquidsmooth dev thread
I like vanilla aosp experience but I will not disregard stock samsung touchwiz rom either
I consider stock samsung rom as vanilla experience in it's own world
now that you mention 4.1.2 leak from skyrocket I may try that if it stable.
on second thought maybe I stay with koodo rom
I still got a lot to read in this whole new phone...

You are correct about 'd2tmo' being a GS3 ROM. Whatever you do, DO NOT FLASH IT! There are already enough posts on here with a person saying they 'bricked' their phone.
If you are still planning to flash a custom ROM, my recommendation would be trying one of the All-Star Devs ROMs. There are too many ROMs to link, but if you search up for threads created by Tmogalaxys2 or android88 in the 'Development Section' you will find any of the Team's ROMs.
Hitting the image on the right of my signature will also lead you to one of the ROMs. Good luck!

Correct, the All-Star version is basically the same as the official Liquid Smooth ROM with extra features. If you are asking your question in regards to flashing the ROM through internal memory, yes, it is possible. Just place the ROM files on the root of your phone.
Also, rather than using CWM recover it is recommended to install and use TWRP 2.3.3.0 on your phone as it is a more up to date recovery system.

If I understand you correctly, you want access to settings through the 'notification bar'? Almost all custom ROMs now should have an option to add "Power Widgets" in the notification for quick access to certain settings if that's what you're looking for.

To the OP, I keep going back to PACman rom. In my opinion it is the best of cm10, AOKP and ParanoidAndroid, though going through the settings can be a little confusing to a newbie since AOKP's Rom Control and CM10 seem to redouble some of each others settings including toggles in the notification drawer (you will notice two sets of toggles active when you first boot the rom). That's the only problem I have with it. (Isn't it great when you can complain about having too many options?)

Kooodo stock rom that I have customized a tiny bit (deodexed with a couple simple mods). Its fast, stable, and has great battery

[Q] Considering rooting/flashing a ROM

Hey all so I'm fairly new to this whole world of rooting and flashing custom ROMs (although I know how to) and I had just a couple of questions. I was thinking of flashing CM10.1 but I'm unsure of which to flash, should I just flash the most recent snapshot or the most recent stable version(10.0)? Is it more experienced people who typically flash the nightlies? I tried posting on the CM forums but they are incredibly slow.
Also, I know that there is no "best" ROM but I would like to know: what ROM are you on? Why did you choose it?

Personally I need my ROMs to be pretty stable for work, so I won't go with nightlies because they can vary in reliability somewhat.
I had avoided CM10.1 based roms for a while because I was worried about stability. My first couple of attempts didn't go so well. Lately though I've found that most all of the 10.1 based ROMs have been pretty solid and just vary in features and looks more than anything.
After using various stock ROMs (all freeza's), I switched over to LiquidSmooth for a while. When Carbon split off I followed that thread for a little while, but the last release just didn't work that great for me and I switched back to LiquidSmooth. I've found it rock solid stable, excellent battery life, and all of the AOSP features I need.
I think you'll find an extremely wide array of opinions on the ROMs. Everyone likes different ROMs for different reasons. It took me a solid day of flashing various ROMs when I first started out, so take your time and try everything that looks interesting. There are some amazing developers around here!

Thanks! I figured there would be a range of opinions but still wanted to ask. So does that mean I have to wipe data/cache and flash the new nightly every time it comes out?

No, not necessarily. The trick though is that you can never be certain where your issues may be coming from if you don't do a clean flash (wiping everything). You'd be amazed at how many completely unexplainable little nagging bugs show after a few consecutive dirty flashes. So by dirty flashing a lot of the time you don't know if the latest version has bugs or if the dirty flash is causing little issues so you've essentially added another layer of troubleshooting difficulties to the issue. You'll also find that 99% of the time if you haven't done a clean flash the devs will tell you to do a clean before you try anything else when reporting a bug. That kind of says something.

Wipe data/cache/dalvick for a clean install. Possibly even internal sometimes. Just make sure whatever you are flashing is on the external card, such as your ROM and GAPPS.

Once you start flashing, you'll probably never want to stop.
I might suggest going with a pure CM 10.1 to get an idea of things. Then go to one of the 4.2.2 ROMs based on 10.1 so you can get a gauge of the differences. Right now though my vote is LiquidSmooth for the ROM.

I use TWRP which allows me to queue up multiple zips to flash in one go. So I do the ROM and gapps.
Never took the ADB route for the S3, but that's just laziness. I used this to root and install the recovery. Then I just put the ROM and gapps on the SDCard and started flashing.

Which Rom are you running and why?

Tell everyone which Rom you're running and what you do or don't like about it. I figured the thread would be nice for people looking for roms to try and hear personal experiences with them instead of just a description.
I tried pacman last night but screwed something up (there is an insane amount of options) and went back to stock for now. I know how to change what I did no so I'll probably reflash later. Happy flashing!!

Nothing yet, but definitely Venom/Viper when available for Verizon One. I had the HTC One for a bit and was able to try many. This one just plain out rocks. You can see a thread about it just a few down from this. Watch the video about it as well. So many mods, tweaks etc and just plain out runs...

I'm currently running v2 of hawknest ' EclipticONE. It is based off the stock rom so it runs 4.2.2 and sense 5 with tweaks. It is *inverted sense*. I love it there because of the dark colors of everything. It is very stable with only slight issues so far with the play store but nothing that can't be fixed!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46261233

Currently running CM10.2 and I like it a lot. I've used AOSP on my previous 3 smartphones. Everything is working great for me except I cannot get a GPS lock whatsoever. The fix according to some forum posts would be to flash a Sense ROM to get a lock and reflash CM. I'm going to flash GPE to play around and see how that is.

running CM10.2 until Liquid can gett calls working on that rom. I much prefer liquid (a couple more tweaks) but I need my phone to be a phone

I really like some of the features from Paranoid, and this is the closest to getting them. Plus I have a soft spot for the mix type of Roms, having a similar one on my HP Touchpad.

I just installed and am setting up VanirAOSP. So far, so good. I tried CM 10.2 yesterday but it was a little flaky. I'm looking forward to trying Venom.

Also running EclipticONE. Love the inverted sense and I really wanted to keep the stock camera since I'm crazy about the zoe feature. Using Apex Launcher anyway so blinkfeed is not an issue for me. The ROM has been zippy and bug free.

VanirAOSP because it has PIE, Halo, and IR blaster support. I absolutely love this ROM. Plus, Sonic is the dev behind it and he is quite awesome!

No clue. Maybe because Vanir is built off AOSP while PAC is built off CM? That's a stretch though.

I'm running Vanir at the moment. Very simple, great customization options and everything works well without any major hitches.
Looking forward to trying out Carbon soon; loved the ROM on my DNA and would love to see how it fares on the One.

Vanir is going to be different than stock ROM and Bonestock in regards to TiBu. Vanir is on 4.3 AND it is built off AOSP. You need to change the backup folder for those ROMs otherwise it will not work. I just cant remember if changing the backup folder is because of 4.3 or because its built off AOSP. Its one of those (or both).

As I posted in the CM10 thread:
FYI - I learned that there's an issue with restoring apps with Titanium Backup and Android 4.3. You have to change your backup location to: /storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup from /storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup otherwise your restore will get stuck at 0%.
