That doesn't even do it. Just user data. Still has any kernel/ROM/system mods.
Clean slate would be to flash stock ROM using Odin.

Clark44, the dev of the ROM, said that he might update. It all depends on his time, he's a full time student.
You can flash the update from Freeza over the ROM, but you also need to flash "Revert to LF9 Universal Search" found in the OP to have the full google search. Read the thread and see what has been reported...

Hey, im kinda new to flashing and rooting. I did manage to root my T999V and i want to flash frosty jb but have no idea how. The instructions on the thread for it are kind of unclear for me so can someone please give me a really easy way of doing this?

Youll find a better definition if you google it, but basically all your apps run in a virtual machine type environment called the dalvik vm.
dalvik cache is where the apps code is stored and used by the vm.

To use the ota patch you'd have odin back to stock LH2. But if you're gonna do that just Odin the LJ4 fw.

So when i flash any ROMs i always do the instructed wiping before anything else but I've come across some ROMs that instruct that you wipe the system? What gets erased when you do so?

The system folder. Use es file explorer and go up to root directory to see for yourself. It has apps, data and many other things.

So it pretty much keeps record/history of everything you do/install while in recovery mode?

Okay I see what your taking about now. So how do I wipe system when I'm in recovery?

I didn't see this type of mod anywhere else on our forums so i thought I'd share it.
As a note I did not create it so I am in no way taking credit for anything other than using Google. All credit goes to kest874
With that said: This works for our phone!

Must be a deodexed rom as well. I'm running stock, rooted, deodexed without any issues. Let me know your setup and the process you used to flash. Then I'll try to figure out what went wrong.

Is this just a mod for the actual appearance of the tab...or will we lose the modded multi window function for all the apps? If you get what I mean...

I have not lost anything. I'm using the all apps mod and still have post flash. The only impact is on the background.

Is known that older versions of twrp didn't work worth some of the binaries. The current 2.3.1.4 worked for me. If it continues try cwm.

What rom are you using?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Working on Why Not 1.0
I can confirm that this is working on my t0ltespr on Why Not 1.0
I had to upgrade my recovery to the new TWRP 2.3.2.3. It wouldn't flash the new recovery through Goo Manager, so I downloaded it manually from here:
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/t0ltespr
Flashed the new recovery and then the MultiWindowTheme.zip
I've flashed dozens of roms in the last month & for some reason cwm (I think this is the culprit) creates all these 0/ folders & it's really annoying. Now all ym downloads, music & apks are ALL over the place. Is there a fix for this? Or is there something I'm doing wrong? Please help.

Its not CWM, its 4.2+ roms, they partition your sdcard and store everything in /0 rather than in /

Make it fresh and format it and install everything you need or want on it. That way you know what you have installed.

You can do a nand backup of your rom if its working fine and youll know that its there if you need to go back to it. You can also back up everything on the computer amd save what you need. Then format thr sdcard and bam your done
