Hi Albalaji,
In answer to your question:
You have two options.
If you are installing a newer version of the same ROM (i.e. going from Android RevolutionHD 12.0.09 to Android RevolutionHD 12.0.13), I would think it fine to just place the new ROM zip file on your device, and using ClockworkMod Recovery, install-from-zip over the top of your current ROM. You can "format Data" in between to be safe.
Reason is, the new ROM will most likely alter the exact same files and keep things in a similar file structure.
However, if you're installing a completely different ROM, e.g. going from Android RevolutionHD to LeeDroid, I would recommend reverting back to Stock PD98IMG.zip. Safer this way, in case there is conflicts. You won't have to redo the Visionary, Radio S-Off or Eng S-Off processes though - once these are done, they are done for good.
Hope this helps!!

thanks alot ..
that What i meant..
Pls for Second paragraph.. if i have different Rom,Can u explain to me all steps if u don't mind
and again thanks ..

Woah man, there is absolutely no advantage in returning to stock inbetween roms, its just a waste of time, all you need is to do a full wipe.....

Copy the new rom to the root of your sd card, put the card in your phone and boot into recovery, go to the mounts and storage menu and wipe every partition apart from.sd card, go back, go to install .zip from sd card, choose your new rom and flash it

you mean, including boot and sd-ext. I never wiped these partitions...
and by the way, i can see a point in flash the stock again, cause somehow is the only way to be sure that everything was formated, you get unroot, stock splash image etc...

[Q] Flashing themes to Revolution HD ROM

Hi,
I rooted my DHD and flashed Revolution HD (2.1) ROM yesterday for the first time!! This site helped massively so thanks to all the devs and posters for the information!! I do have a couple of questions though, please excuse me if these are a bit obvious but until yesterday i had no idea how to even root it!
So i flashed the ROM and rooted fine, then i flashed a custom theme as well from clockwork mod recovery (installed from zip on sdcard). If i want to change the theme to a different custom one do i have to flash it from CWM recovery or can i do it directly from the CWM app??
Also if i now flash a different custom theme will all my user data (apps, settings, media etc.) be preserved?
Basically i like to change my theme quite often but if im going to loose my data everytime then ill have to pick more carefully!
Thanks in advance for your help and thanks again to all the devs and posters for making my DHD even better!!

Welcome on board ARHD user
You flash theme from CWM. Changing themes means giving new look to your phone, so unfortunately you ll have to personalize everything once again. Flashing themes would not remove your data but only your personalized home screen. You can however try mybackup and see if that helps you restore your settings.

Thanks for the reply!! Just flashed a new theme (revolution) and loving it.
One more question though, im trying to flash a different boot screen and animated framework to the theme but its not working
Im putting the zip on my sd card and flashing via CWM as i did with the theme but its not applying for some reason, is there something im missing?? Both the bootscreen and framework are made for the theme by the way!
Thanks

have you replaced the bootanimation.zip file? i do not know if you need to flash the bootanimation. I have flashed splashscreen but not the bootanimation so i do not exactly know. But i m sure if you replace bootanimation.zip file in /system folder it would work.

Thanks again for the reply. For some reason i went back to recovery 2.5.1.3 to flash something else and just tried the boot animation just in case it made a difference and its all working fine now!!
Cheers

Im having the same problem, Im running DHD Revolution Gingerbread beta 3.1 and the boot animations never work. Even if I do replace the bootanimation.zip file. Changed permissions to the zip file too.
Seems there is a difference in opinion on which bootanimation file to replace. I replaced the one in system/customize/resource.
Any ideas?

Gingerbread works completely differently i think. There is script that also needs to be modified to change the boot animation, i dont know what or where im afraid!
I was on gingerbread for a few days (i think it was mike's second beta) and didnt like it much, so im back on froyo leedroid for now. Might change when there is a few more themes about, bugs are all sorted and custom kernels are available!!

[Q] Call of Duty Modern Warefare ( Boot animation and sound )

make a nandroid backup first then flash the zip from recovery,i thing you need to have s-off on the phone, and the path system/media is for AOSP roms, if you are using sense rom its a different path

do you know the path for the sense Rom as that's what i am using?
I'm using stock Rom only rooted as new to all this.
Chris

/system/customize/resource, here`s the cwm zip for sense roms

Hi there. Let me clarify this a little.
I helped chrisjsy with S-OFFing his phone. He is now rooted. We had to downgrade his HBOOT using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132028 and havent installed a custom ROM since.
He made a nandroid backup (and a titanium backup as well) last night.
Im trying to help him as far as I can, but I can only offer him so much advice as I feel pretty n00b(ish) to android as well.
He is now running out of space on his phone for apps, and Im now wondering if we install link2sd (like I have on my Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro which is on stock firmware (android 2.1)), will that help with matters as I have some apps that under Froyo dont move to SD yet I can move them to SD with that?
Though having said all of that, is there a custom ROM that will speed his phone up with very few bugs?

links2sd is a very good app i used it to move only the apps to ext2 partition, but now i use custom mdt its the best way imo you can check it out here but this works only on aosp roms, if he wants a sense rom then go whit link2sd, best rom for me is cm7 go whit the latest nightly here you can find changelog and download the rom

ViperX Install Addons

Hi there,
I'm really new to this whole rooting thing. Today I finally managed to flash the ViperX Rom to my device. Now I have a question about installing Addons. When I click on install Sense 5 APM it says that I have to reboot in recovery mode to install it.
But I really don't want to screw anything up. Could you tell my why I need to do this, when installing Addons and how I install them correctly.
(I already tried to install some custom bootlogos and my screen stopped working, so I had to backup and flash the ViperX Rom again. I really don't want to ruin my phone again)
I would really appreciate it, if you could help an inexperienced noob, like me =)

Make always a backup.. When I was on viper rom I used to do this:
1. download the theme, skin, etc.. you want from venom hub
2. remove it from the folder in wich you've downloaded it
3. put it in /sd card (use venom file explorer to do this)
4. boot into recovery and flash it
5. reboot!

When I boot into recovery, what do I do then? Install zip from sd card or something else? Also how do I flash it. Do I have to do this with CMD like i flashed the bootloader unlock and the boot.img?
I really have no clue.
And thank you for your help =)

Thanks a lot! I understood so far =) But one more question: When I finished flashing, let's say a font package, is the font already in use after a reboot or do I have to enable it somewhere?
If it's already used, how can i deactivate/delete it again?
I hope you understand what i mean.
The answer is probably really obvious, but I'm just to scared to do something wrong

[Q] ROM Cleaning my Stock ROM, how?

Hi there, I'm new to posting threads on the XDA forum, but I have been looking around for quite some time, reading and learning a lot. I used this forum to root my HTC One V and put custom ROMs on it. And today I used it to root my HTC One X.
My question is about using ROM Cleaner to clean my stock ROM. I saw in the ROM Cleaner thread that this is possible, and I noticed some people doing the same thing, but I don't quite understand how to do this.
So, my HOX (HTC_E11) is still pretty much completely stock (running the out-of-the-box Stock Android 4.2.2, with HTC Sense 5.0, software number: 4.18.401.2), accept for me rooting it today and flashing CWM recovery.
Now my question is:
How do I use ROM Cleaner on my stock ROM? Do I first have to go back to the stock recovery and then flash the deodexed (right?) stock ROM? Or can I just flash the deodexed stock ROM, when using the CWM recovery and then use ROM Cleaner?
Many thanks,
Felix

Just use rom cleaner over the running rom. I assume you already made a stock nandroid backup in the custom recovery ?
Ow and check the romcleaner user.txt found in the OP of the thread and edit it to your needs.
Just spoken to the proud owner of romcleaner and that is a point of attention

Thanks for the fast response!
Yes, first thing I did after flashing the custom recovery. So I don't have to download the deodexed stock ROM? Will I still be able to remove everything I don't want when ROM cleaning the odexed stock ROM?

Dont see why not, ow and if it fails you can restore the backup and start over

Hi,
ROM Cleaner will work even on stock ROM, deodexed or not.
ROM Cleaner will log all apps that have been removed and based on that log it will also remove all unused odex files if they exist.
It's strongly advised to edit your own ROMCleaner_user.txt found in download section.
Edit the txt file with notepad++ if you are using Windows. (you will find more info about this in the guide)
But it's basically add or remove "#"
# in front of an app means it will not be removed.
No # in front of an app means it will be removed.
Once done with your user.txt, create a folder in the root of your sdcard called "ROMCleaner" (case sensitive)
Then copy the user.txt to that folder. (/sdcard0/ROMCleaner/ROMCleaner_user.txt)
When you flash ROM_Cleaner_v4.0.zip in recovery the aroma welcome screen will tell you if the user.txt is in the ROMCleaner folder.
Now press "ROM Cleaner (Sense)" option. >
The rest should be easy peacy.
Good luck!

Awesome ! Haha

Just finished cleaning my stock ROM! Very happy with the result! Think I cleaned about 300 MB Already seen the user.txt, made good use of it
One thing, the apps I deleted via ROM Cleaner are now 'ghost' apps in my app drawer. But when I de-instal them they seem to disappear, so not a real problem (haven't rebooted yet, after de-instal).
Thank you both for your fast and very helpful responses!

That's normal when dirty flashing ROM Cleaner.
Too avoid issues like this, RC should be applied before the ROM has been booted for the first time
