Hey.
It's a bit lame that I can't ask this from mskip himself on his thread. (but I understand the rules.)
I've done my first flash from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 Google stock image.
Now my hunger has grown and I want more.
I've downloaded franco kernel, maguro Milestone 2, GApps. (<- I need Google Calendar and navigation is good to have)
What do I flash first? Maguro I presume.
But how do I flash kernel? And GApps?

Hey, flash the rom first after wiping data and cache. Then straight away flash GAPPS and after that restart go through setup and then reboot and install kernel. Flash the kernel after wiping davlik cache. Hope this helps.
All the flashing is done in recovery (cwm)
So now I just transfer the files (.zip) to Internal Storage?
Yep, the ROM threads tell you the order to do things then after the ROM has booted reboot and flash the kernel
So now I'm running the latest nightly AOKP #19 and Franco #13....
Thanks for the help guys. All the guides make this look like rocket science.

Sorry for interrupting and for a pretty lame question, but please clarify for me, if the files in the Internat Storage will or will not be deleted if I wipe the device in CWM, before I flash?
I've flashed my HTC Desire HD a zillion times, but since it's eqipped with a physical Storage Card, I'm a bit confused about the way the Galaxy Nexus works.
Thanks in advance.

CWM has been coded to be aware of how the internal storage was designed on the Galaxy Nexus (and other Android devices that utilize MTP). Traditionally it will reformat the /data partition however for our device it will instead delete all files and folders outside of the /data/media directory (the internal storage).
For all who are curious you can read the source code for the latest CWM to determine this behavior.
Just got my fire rooted and recovery installed now my question is what rom should i run, i want to for sure have netflix working other than that not sure what else, are any of the CM9 builds actually working with the hardware acceleration or not yet? Open to all suggestions

Thats what i was just coming here to ask i did TWRP but after reading thru some roms looks like i need to do CWM? if thats the case is the CWM on the first page of the development section the correct one?

TWRP has pretty much been abandoned and CWM is now the preferred recovery. That is the right recovery but there is a script that can be used to install everything which can be found HERE. The CM7 rom that I would suggest using can be found in THIS thread and can be installed through CWM.

Any way, which CM9 is you felt best among the available?

Just scroll down past the commands, it's very simple to install and doesn't require any commands at all. I'm not installing any CM9 roms until hashcode gets his kernel done so that everything is complete and working properly. I use my kindle for gaming and videos so I need HWA working.

I like the MoDaCo rooted stock ROMs. The current one is already on 6.3. If you don't like the stock launcher, you can always replace it. Because it's android 2.3, netflix will work just fine.

+1 for MoDaCo Gr8. I've been running the 6.3 version since it dropped yesterday, with no problems. I use Go Launcher, themed to resemble ICS, and It's nice to be able to still access all of the stock kindle apps and bookshelf when I want to.
ok i got to know why does everyone run GO launcher and not ADW or LP?

"Thank you" for the explanation, and it completely make sense to me.
Also one other question, why did you say TWRP is outdated? in almost all the "ROM" forums and blogs everyone is suggesting TWRP 2.0.

Sorry if this was posted, the SGSII is active and sort of cluttered so its hard to find which one is what.
The question: So I successfully flashed, gained root, and got a custom recovery for my friends SGSII. Whenever I try to flash a ROM, like CyanogenMod 9 or MIUI.us it get stuck at boot, and yes I am on ICS. I also heard that the CWM Recovery for this phone is messed up, so can anyone fill me on that? Is there a special thing I have to do before flashing a ROM? Do I have to use TWRP instead of CWMR?
CWM Recovery version: 5.0.2.7
Android OS: ICS 4.0.4
SGSII Version: T-Mobile

I was having some problems too until I realized that I was using an ancient version of CWM. Flashed a newer CWM Touch and all was well after that - I was able to to perform a successful wipe and flash of CM10 - everything just worked perfectly after that.
Let me get this straight...
Flash TWRP
Use TWRP to flash Super Wipe
Flash a ROM
... and enjoy ROM?
Did I get it right?
I don't understand and believe me I'm not complaining but I have cwr5027 and use dark side scripts all the time and never have problems.
Is it just a matter of time? I flash often...very often.

Hi,
I'm new here so please go easy on this "noob"
It was my first to unlock and root my phone, followed by flashing a stock ROM (Which is exactly why I rooted it)
I flashed this JB 4.2.2 stock build [ROM] [OTA][GSM] Android 4.2.2 JDQ39: Rooted | Galaxy Nexus > XDA for my Galaxy Nexus
Now...
I can't disable Next-word suggestions in the Language & Input -> Google Keyboard Settings
Also, I noticed a few seconds of lag when pressing the power button to unlock the phone, when viewing recent apps (via the soft-key), and when opening the Camera too
Also, when I choose the "Recent Apps" soft key.. it's as the app that's currently being used is minimised and the homescreen is shown without any icons
The Build came with Busybox pre-installed and now its gone after a day of using my phone... I literally can't find it.
I searched in the play store "BusyBox" and the result is 3 different apps with the same name!
Any Advice?

go back to recovery, format/wipe /system partition, reflash rom.
For your reference, a good app to install bb is stephen (stericsson)'s busybox installer (play store link). Obviously, it needs root.

How do I get “root”?
If you are booted into a custom recovery (recoveries will be covered later), root is enabled by default. If you want root while booted into Android, you will need to place two files on your system partition: an “su” binary which grants root access, and a superuser app that manages that access. The two that are available are ChainsDD’s Superuser and Chainfire’s SuperSU. Usually these files are packaged up in a zip file that is flashable using a custom recovery, but they can be flashed manually using ADB. Both of these methods will be described below.

I'm totally new to this rooting &/ flashing thing, so please go easy
So, what you're saying is that I should boot into fastboot mode, wipe system partition (this will format the whole SD card right?), install the same ROM again?
I guess I'll need to install Titanium Backup to backup my apps and settings, I'll have to search for an article for the best way to do it as well..
Can I do it like this:
Open "Rom Manager", Select "Install ROM from SD Card", install it.. ???
PS: Do you have a recommendation for a better ROM, perhaps my choice of ROM wasn't correct...

You can wipe the system partition in a custom recovery (dont know if you can with stock). And yes you could flash via ROM manager but I wouldnt recommend it. I am on XenonHD 11.1 and loving it. But roms are a personal choice so there is no 'best' ROM. Just try out.

If you read it, you'll stop thinking you need to be doing anything at this point in FASTBOOT interface! Like mrgnex says, you need to be on a custom recovery to format /system. (Have you read the link yet? By now you should know that the /system partition and the /sdcard/ (aka userdata) are 2 different things!)

Stop! THERE'S NO NEED FOR FASTBOOT HERE!
Thanks Guys for replying.
Yes, I read the info in the link, it was very helpful.
I'm still confused though.. "Fast boot" and "Recovery" are they the same thing?
I tried a "fix" mentioned by someone about using a live wallpaper such as "Water", I tried it and it's been 1/2 hour and it's really smooth compared to before...
Yes, I do have a custom recovery, actually I don't know why, but It seems I've got two according to ROM Manager.
It says I've got Clockwork Mod Recovery & TWRP.
I also tried going into recovery (Volume up + Down + Power) and it worked this time, when I select recovery, it goes into CWRM
I also did a bit of research about CyanogenMod 10.1.2 and from what I could gather it's liked by people a lot.
I'm guessing that definitely some time ahead it'll get all "laggy" again, Is there any reason according to you why I shouldn't install it compared to the stock 4.2.2 I have?

So to get things clear:
No fastboot and recovery arent the same thing.
Vol up+down+power brings you into fast boot and not recovery.
Apparently you dont have 2 custom recoverys since you booted into cwm.
Cm10 is great. But there are many great roms out there. You can start off with cm and then (if you please) look further.
I dont see any reason to not install cm10.1.2 since a whole team built and optimized it. So basically it is a better stock.
When you think your phone is slow you should look into the custom kernels. Thats a different story which I will not begin before you want to

I've decided that I will test out the Rom that I have currently (4.2.2) for a few weeks, and then flash CM.
I wanted to know one more thing, Is it bad to flash ROMs to your phone every now and then?
Because I've seen people flashing different ROMs on their phone, I don't wanna damage my phone as I want it to last as long as I can make it.
(by "Bad" I mean... does it reduce the phone's life or it's hardware's life span)

No it can't. I was a flashaholic (until I discovered XenonHD) and my phone didn't got worse. Only overclocking the CPU and gpu can affect the life of the CPU or gpu (or both XD). Just do a fresh install everytime and read the post of the ROM of your choice to see what to do to get it working optimally. If you have any problems just ask.

I'll flash CM in a week or two, as I'm on a tight schedule currently, and I also wanna note down the average battery time I get out of 4.2.2
So... since 4.3 is now out, I was thinking it'd be better for me to flash it other than anything else.
I'll most probably download the stock rom from:

I apologize guys... I guess I wasn't thinking straight as its past midnight here...
So just to clarify stuff so that I don't end up doing something wrong:
-> Head into Recovery Mode (with usb debugging enabled... connect usb cable to phone and pc)
-> Wipe System
-> Wipe Cache
-> Install from SD card (select .zip file)
right?
Also, I performed a backup of the applications I have via Titanium Backup, They'll work on 4.3 when I restore them right? or do you recommend downloading them from the play store again?
Sorry for being such a noob, and Thanks for your responses!
backup everything from your /sdcard to your computer, titanium backups and a nandroid
the google stock package is NOT flashable in CWM/TWRP
if you follow the GOOGLE instructions it WILL wipe your device (remember that backup you made of everything?)
alternatively you can make sure and have adb/fastboot working on your computer properly, extract all the files out of the zip (including the tar.gz located inside), and in recovery, do a factory reset, then boot to fastboot, fastboot flash system and boot ....
as for Titanium Backup, there is a work around to get it working on 4.3, but root is lacking full power.

I just got my replacement HTC One V CDMA unlocked and rooted. I want to overclock and understand I need a custom ROM to do so. My first HTC One V I bricked trying to flash rhythmicrom. I unlocked, rooted, backed up using TWM. Each time I tried to flash the new ROM it would get stuck on the HTC screen with the red writing talking about developmental purposes, etc. Each time it would hang on that screen I would simply do a recovery to the back up file and everything would go back to normal. The last time I tried to flash it hung up, and when I tried to go back it would not go back. I am not sure why Rhythmicrom would not work. Is there another one I should try? Does it matter if my HTC one V is a newer version, etc? I just need a basic ROM with the ability to overclock. MMS is a necessity and the camera would be nice. Thanks for any help you can give me.
Did you make sure to flash the appropriate kernel via fastboot aftter flashing the ROM, because if not that could be the cause of your phone failing to boot. As for ROM's, well I guess that depends on whether you have a PrimoU or a PrimoC, I personally use SHPONGLE for the PrimoU, but I can't comment on the PrimoC as I do not own one

Did you make sure to flash the appropriate kernel via fastboot aftter flashing the ROM, because if not that could be the cause of your phone failing to boot.

Thank you for the reply. Yes I used the kernel (boot.img) that was included with the rythmicrom rom. I have a PrimoC. I was reading and see that my problem might be caused due to maybe having a newer version of the phone and the hboot or radio might be different?

Hey, so some kernels support the newer radio and some do not. If you are on the newer radio: Baseband version 1.00.00.0928 (check in about phone in settings) then you have to use a kernel that supports the OTA, such as for sense use the FOTA kernel posted under the cdma development thread, for android 4.1 use the kernel I made that can be found in the slim bean rom thread by curtis, and for 4.2 rythmic rom's kernel should work just fine. If not, try the codefirex kernel from simon's rom (original dev. thread) but you'll lose functionality of the camera as it is an ion kernel.
I hope this helps, quote me in the reply if you have more questions, otherwise I may forget to check back here.
why u no flash kernel omg! just read the trouble shooting section

Thank you very much for you help. I checked my radio and it is 1.00.00.0928. Is this the reason why the rythmicrom kernel would not work? So you recommend using the FOTA kernel with which ROM? Sorry for the dumb questions. I tried my best to read everything I could before asking for help. I just don't want to brick my replacement phone. I am not sue they will be as understanding as they were the first time.

well it shouldn't have been the reason because if you type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" in command line for the kernel you want to flash then it should flash correctly and rythmic rom's kernel has supported new radio since the beginning pretty much. Unless you have a really old version or something. The FOTA kernel is for sense roms or cm9 (which is based on android 4.0 ics). I really like and very much recommend MyOneV rom that curiousnoob has ported under the cdma dev. thread. It's fast, smooth, and has the least amount of lag compared to any other sense rom that I've tried. It's my daily and go-to rom!
You shouldn't brick your phone as long as you fastboot flash the correct kernel (for primoc/cdma), even if you end up in a bootloop you can hold power button and get back to bootloader to flash a new rom or restore a backup

Thanks for the information. Is it necessary to wipe the sd card before installing the new ROM? This is how I bricked my last one. I read somewhere that I needed to do a full wipe including the sd card. The sd card is where my recovery was and when I wiped it I didn't have anything to recover to. I tried RUU and that did not work.
So I think I might do this kernel [KERNEL][VM/PRIMOC][ICS:Sense] FOTA-Compatible Sick Kernel
With this ROM: myOneV 9.5+CDMA
Does this look ok?

It isn't necessary to wipe sd card, although if you get any weird bugs that no one else has reported (read threads) then yeah, I'd wipe sd card. In fact, I do actually wipe everything (except sd-ext) from twrp 2.6.1. But before I wipe I mount usb to my computer and copy over the twrp folder with my backup and any pictures I wanna save. Then, wipe everything including sd card (although not necessary I like to do it) and then mount usb again and copy the files I need (rom.zip and twrp folder). But to do a full wipe technically it's just wiping data, cache, dalvik cache, and system.
RUU will not work if you are on the newer hboot version (forgot the number but it's around here which is new vs old).
that combination works for me (I'm on new hboot and radio) so should work fine! btw that's the rom and kernel I mentioned earlier idk if you caught that or not

Cool thank you. Yes I did catch that I just wanted to confirm that was the one you are talking about. I went to download that rom and it said it was not available any longer.

oh right... curiousnoob is revamping it to make it better, you can either be patient or I can upload you an older version give me a second
here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0By_o-NyPojUXNTdna3p5bGdSNVU/edit?usp=sharing it's from 09/02/2013 but it's the best I think so far... next update should be awesome-er! haha

Thank you for all of your help! Will this ROM work with the stock kernel? Just wondering. I would like to overclock so i will be flashing the sick kernel, but I was just curious. Thank you again.

kinda... but with stock kernel wifi didn't work... however fota kernel works so great with overclock that there's no need for stock kernel and it's not a problem, I'm happy to help

Thank you for the link! I downloaded and got the ROM working now with the stock kernel. Now I am going to try and flash the sick kernel. Just to confirm, this is the one I need:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261819
I am going to put it in my fastboot folder, rename it boot.img and then flash it using cmd.
Does this sound right?
Also, just an FYI...I received a PM from Curiousn00b stating that the newest version is now available.

Hey, I got the kernel to work! Now my wifi is operational. Now that the new version is available, do I dare ask how to go about updating? Is it just the same process? Thanks!

You flashed the fota sick kernel? Well, you can update by just wiping dalvik and cache and flashing the new rom, but it's a full wipe (same process as before) is always recommended over the previous "update"

Yes, I was able to flash the FOTA sick kernel. I have it set at 1.709 GHz max and 245 mhz min. with the I/O scheduler on noop. I put the governor on "performance" and did a benchmark test with antutu. My score was 7069 which didn't look all that great compared to the others. Does this sound about right? I was also only getting 6.2 fps on the 3D testing.

hmmm... I have no idea... I've never really messed with benchmarks before, don't think they matter much, I'm happy just having a lag-free phone btw for typical use, I'm sure you know, performance gov. will kill your battery fairly quickly, so I usually use [email protected]$$v2 gov. or lionheart, but usually the first

You are right, the phone is more snappy for sure. What GHz do you use for everyday? I was using [email protected]$$v2 gov but put it on performance just during the test. I also have buzzlauncher as my launcher so I am not sure if that is taking away from the performance, but it looks nice. I am just happy that it is working, so again thanks for your help.
