[Q] how to upgrade from insertcoin rom to ics?

Hey all,
I've been following the ICS thread in the dev forums pretty closely. I'm currently using the insertcoin rom. Will it be a case of wiping that rom and installing the ICS rom instead? Do I need to install the Cyanogen first?
Thanks

instructions are on there but whatever..
BACKUP YOUR ROM FIRST!!
If you're S-ON then don't worry about it this next step:
If you changed your hboot/SPL make sure you flash either bravo_stock from alpharev
Go to mounts & storage, format everything (apart from sd-card)
Go to advanced, wipe dalvic cache
Flash the ROM

Thanks dude. Though it would be the case, but i had to make sure.

If you're not an advanced user, I think it's not a good idea to flash an )ICS ROM yet.

Cant boot into CWM

Hello!
I have an arc s(lt18i) and i was running official 4.0.4 on it which was rooted.
So Everything was working fine.I thought of installing this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780319
I made a full nandroid backup.When I rebooted into recovery and clicked install zip from sd card and chose that zip file, it gave a 'status 7 error'.
And now when I reboot i cant get into recovery.
PLEASE! Can someone tell me how do you get into recovery? I have wiped to factory reset/wiped cache and dalvik cache.
PLEASE!

Not really a good idea to install Pro ROMs on the Arc or vice versa. You need THIS.

OH DAMN!!! Why the heck didnt I see the 'Pro' there.Btw, will this zip not give me a status 7 error?

Problem In Flashing PARANOIDANDROID

Hi Guys! I've got a problem in flashing PARANOIDANDROID ROM Port by Yasir.
Every time I try to install the ROM i get this error after few minutes:
Creating symlinks
Symlink: some symlinks failed
E: Error in /sdcard/PARANOID... .zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I'm using latest 4EXT touch recovery, JellyHboot as recommended, already tried with full wipe, SD format ( also EXT etc...);
I thought it could be a bad download so downloaded again and got same error.. The strange thing is that I get this error ONLY when i try to flash PARANOID ROM.. With the other AOSP (CM9, 10) , SENSE ROM i don't get any error, just flash fine... so, what can I do!?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english!

that happened to me the first time, all i did was after wipe/factory reset, wipe cache + dalvik then format all partitions except sdcard n it worked. strange coz i do that anyway but with that rom i had to do it twice.

Thanks for your reply Jmcclue ! I've done a factory reset, wipe cache, Dalvik etc (like every time I flash a ROM) but nothing! It just seems that this ROM has some problems with me Jokes apart the strange thing is that when Yasir released PARANOID v1 I've installed it without problems but now with v3 got this problem.. I also tried to flash it on Stock Hboot, just for try..nothing! Really strange.. By the way thanks again!

Finally I've got it! Wiped everything about 10 times lol but in the end.... I've flashed the one from the mirror as You said! Thanks man!

I've managed to install this rom. It works well (smooth and fast). But I am unable to install all my apps due to memory space problem. I managed to install about 10 apps only.
Anybody has a good idea on how i could install most if not all of my apps?
The rom is good, dont want to revert to my previous rom.
Thank you in advance.

what's the second link for.. are they gapps??int2ext is a recovery flashable zip which you have to flash after
1) partition sd card
2) flash ROM
3) flash gapps
4) flash int2ext
5) reboot

Thank you.

no it's not compulsory but one of main reasons if rooting it's to increase internal memory.. so here is the thread and many scripts are present in first post... choose out of int2ext series..

Install from sdcard : cm7
Install from sdcard : gapps.

You should always be careful and make sure that anything you are about to flash to your phone is specifically for your phone. As a rule of thumb if its not in the wildfire s section don't flash it! Until you know what it is and what your doing this could have went badly for you, feel lucky
