I want to put on AOKP on my Nexus..

Is there more n00b friendly instructions than this to install AOKP? Sorry I am a former Blackberry owner, I am a little nervous but I am tech savvy. I just don't want to brick my phone..
My phone is rooted.. I have the latest AOKP and gapps from the AOKP site.
1. Make sure you're on the latest CWM
2. MAKE A NANDROID
3. wipe data/factory reset in recovery
4. flash ROM
5. flash Gapps
6. reboot
=
1. I have the latest ROM manager.
2. No idea what or how to use it... (I did a full backup with Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit, good enough?)
3. Is this done in the ROM manager, I think so, or when I am in bootloader mode maybe?
4. Flashing it I assume with ROM manager, pick the zip and voila..
5. No idea about this one. With ROM manager too?
6. Dah.. I think I can handle this step..
Appreciate any help.. remember n00b, never had an android and never did anything with my BB. N00b. Thanks!

Since you are already rooted.... I'll keep it simple. You can backup your ROM in ROM manager.
Boot to CWM
Wipe data (wipes cache too)
Go to advanced, wipe Dalvik
Flash AOKP
Flash GAPPS
Reboot
Flash kernel if you are using a modified one. If you flash a kernel after you boot, just wipe dalvik.

You don't have to flash through "Rom Manager" its much easier in ClockworkMod Recovery (assuming you have it installed, check at the top of Rom Manger to see if you have the latest recovery). To get there, you just have to hold down "Power + Volume Up + Volume Down," when you're there, you can move up and down with your volume up/down buttons and press "enter" with the power button. From there you can create a backup (backup and restore --> backup), wipe data/cache/dalvik (wipe data/factory reset), and flash your Rom/Gapps (install zip from sdcard --> choose zip from sdcard --> download --> find your rom/gapps). You should reboot after that, and it'll be set.

Ok that's cool..
few questions.. boot to CWM is that the recovery manager on my phone? or Do you mean select in ROM manager "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
Go to advanced, wipe Dalvik, I expect that is an option when phone is booted. I don't see that in ROM manager.
Flash Kernel? Now I'm kinda confused. I thought AOKP has the kernel, am I using a modified one? Uh, I just unlocked and rooted this with GNR Toolkit nothing else.
Another question I am curious in ROM manager, where do these rom backups go? Should I not put those on my pc hd somewhere safe?

You must have flashed ClockwordMod Recovery already... at the top in the Rom Manager application where it says Flash ClockwordMod Recovery, it should have something saying "Current Recovery: 5.5.0.4" and "Latest Recovery 5.5.0.4." Make sure your current and latest match up. If they do, then you already have CWM installed. Then you can boot into it from the instructions I provided in my post above (turn off phone, hold down power + volume up + volume down).
AOKP has a kernel, you can choose to download and flash a separate kernel if you want.
The rom backups go to your virtual SD card, and will not get wiped when you do a data wipe, so they are secure (i.e. you don't have to put them on your computer if you don't want to).

anton that makes sense mostly but..
"and flash your Rom/Gapps (install zip from sdcard --> choose zip from sdcard --> download --> find your rom/gapps). You should reboot after that, and it'll be set."
If I
"From there you can create a backup (backup and restore --> backup), wipe data/cache/dalvik (wipe data/factory reset)"
Wouldn't that mean there would be nothing on the SD card to flash with?

No. Wiping data/cache/dalvik does not touch SD Card contents.

Yes, CWM is the recovery. Flashing CWM only flashes it to your phone, you still have to boot into it.
Don't wipe or anything from Rom Manger, that's an option that I don't recommend. From Rom Manager you can boot to CWM, do that and do the above I posted. You should be fine.
Just remember, do a factory reset, wipe dalvik, flash new ROM, then flash GAPPS. After that you are good. First boot will take some time.

You need to format /system too. It's under Mounts and storage.

Ok this is what you need to do.
Step 1: Open ROM Manager and install CMR (first option). You need to make sure you select the correct version of your phone (verizon is CMDA all others are GSM, I think). After it is finished installing proceed to step 2.
Step 2: In ROM Manager select "Reboot into Recovery". It will reboot and you will see the Google splash screen then a black page with blue text. If you see this proceed to step 3.
Step 3: use the volume keys to navigate to the option "Backup and Restore". When you have highlighted this option use the power button to select it. You will then a select "backup". Let it do its thing (will take a few minuets). When its done it will return you to the first screen then continue to step 4.
Step 4: Select "wipe data/factory reset". You will be taken to a screen with a bunch of "no"s and one "yes" if you are sure you want to wipe then select "yes" and let it do its thing. When its done it will return you to the main menu. Proceed to step 5.
Step 5: Select "install zip from sdcard". Select "choose zip from sdcard". Browse the ROM file. Select it and you will be at the no no no... yes screen. Select "yes" and let it do its thing. When its done you will be taken to the screen that says "choose zip from sdcard". Select that option again and browse to the gapps file. Flash it like the ROM. When you are done it will take you to the "choose zip from sdcard" screen. From there select "*****Go Back*****" then Select the first option "reboot system now". Your phone will now reboot. Note that it will take a lot longer than usual.
Also note that navigating CMR is a pia because the volume keys are jumpy.
Enjoy...

1. In Rom Manager, select back up and restore. This creates an exact back up of what your phone has on it and the settings.
2. In Rom Manager, select reboot in recovery. Using the volume rocker to move to wipe/data factory reset. Select option with power button. When that is complete, select install zip from sd card. Select the AOKP Rome file and flash it. Select install rom from sd card a second time and flash the Gapps (google app pack). The reboot phone.
Wiping dalvik is little redundant IMO, most custom Roms are including scripts to wipe automatically.
Since you did a factory reset (a must when changing Roms), you will need to set your phone back up.
You will leave your back up of your sd card as this is the only way you can restore via Rom Manager.
When you flash the rom, it will come with the kernel. Some prefer different kernels and will flash those as well. I have used kernels by Heyitslou since my Incredible days and flashed his V3 defiant with AOKP. It can be found on Rootzwiki.

Ok guys, many thanks. I think I got enough info.
@mentose457 I got the ROM manager installed and under CWM recovery the current and latest do match up. Do I still need to do that?
That is what I was looking for a n00b guide. Hehehe! Thanks everyone I will study those instruction and try this out.
Appreciate your help and patience guys..

I don't see anything in ROM Manager that specifically says install CMR (first option). First option is Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and it has a latest and current ...5.5.0.2
When I unlocked and rooted I had installed ROM Manager etc and I see a current and latest... they are the same... blah blah blah 5.5.0.2. Do I still need to do this step?

No, if current and latest are the same, then you're fine and you can move on to the next step.

Errm.. I used ROM Manager I selected Backup rom, i see the android guy and see files backing up. Which turns out to be the same as your step 2 and 3. LOL! hopefully multiple backups dont hurt. LOL I'm currently finishing step 3 I guess. Next is wipe etc.

No offense to guy who did rom, but a Pink unicorn with rainbow hair.... err
No offense but generally speaking a macho guy like me hopes nobody will see a pink unicorn on his android phone. Haha!

Thanks guys, I am restoring my apps now and I think I am good. Really appreciate your help! Can't wait to try this ROM out!

A lot of people report problems restoring Apps+Data using Titanium Backup, so I recommend only restoring the App part and not the Data part if you want to have the least amount of FCs. Unless you're restoring from market... then disregard this post. =P

[Q] How do I install a kernel?

I have my device unlocked and rooted but when I try and flash with fastboot I can see the kernel logo but then my phone turns off and starts up normally? I have seen people put the kernel in the SD card but when I do that it doesn't show up? I am also on .69 Can someone help me?

To flash a kernel;
1. open file where fastboot is;this is where the boot.img you've downloaded should be too
2. press shift+right click in window and choose 'open command window here'
3. switch off/remove battery from phone, then hold menu button whilst connecting usb. led should be blue.
4 in command window type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img, or if you've renamed the boot.img file then the new name
fastboot will show progress(normally takes under 1-2 secs),once finished disconnect, reboot

I did all of that but it still shows me the kernel image then just reboots again normally :/

If you're getting the kernel flash screen then press down volume key repeatedly when led/button leds come on during boot. That enters cwm menu.

What do I do then?

Depends on which kernel you're using. Basically, if you've used fastboot to boot the kernel correctly then when you reboot you should see the kernel flashscreen e.g. doomkernel has doomlords android in cloak, etc. If that's the case, enter cwm by repeatedly spamming(pressing) the back key or volume key once the lights come on. You'll get a menu with cwm(clockword mod recovery) options such as format phone, backup/restore, install zip, and others. If you're flashing a rom then make sure it's on your sd card, use 'install zip' and select the rom(or update) zip to flash, and confirm. If it's a different dev from the rom your current rom then also select factory reset to wipe any previous data, and advanced/wipe dalvik, to ensure a clean install. then reboot.

To make it easier could you provide me a good rom and kernel that go together?

If you want ics then jj's or krabappels are probably the easiest, but use the ics beta kernel. Arconium with doomkernel 21(gingerbread) is probably your best bet due to the support.

Well this thread was made by a fan of adimotion

GUYS, GUYS solve it down all right. If a new user wants to flash CM9 he won't know anything about Epslyon or Quark builds and finding links is not that easy. So everyone end up with adi4motion thread which was very useful as you can find everything there, no need to search for any needed stuff. Its not that he was taking credit from either of DEV's neither i do. Just making things easier for users who want to try CM9 and that's just it. No offence. Just trying to help users.

Hai,
I've got a question about the battery life. Could it be that it is a lot shorter now i'm using cm9 than when i was on cm7? I could do a hole day, from evening to evening, but now sometimes i have to charge 2 times a day! I have battery fix installed on my red lens defy.

Try using CPU tuner from market also use V6 supercharger. You will find a huge difference and don't use any task killer.

Changelog?
Hey,
I was wondering if you could include a changelog in the 1st post? It'll be useful in case anybody didn't want to update everytime a new version came out.
Thanks!

ya would love to do that. but i can't do that because it makes bug tracking harder this is why they closed adi4motion thread. So you want, visit the original thread and ask the builder. If it was WIUI i can say but not for CM9 builds. I will try my best to post the change log. Have to ask people before doing anything like that.

This might help a few users but wasn't needed..
Even Multiple threads about same information makes stuff confusing sometimes..
Doesn't matter from where I send it, what matters is written above

It is never about CM9. Its about all ICS ROM and strictly no bug reports. I don't want to confuse users.

I know you've got a long op already but maybe it would be good to add links the various mods available to ics roms like ics reloaded and v6 supercharger.

I'd consider something a little more subtle.. color wise.

[Q] Xperia Arc Issue

Hi guys, I have recently loaded UHD 3.0.2 onto my Sony Ericcson Xperia Arc, but when trying to complete the last step below, my phone wont enter CWM. The phone isn't in a boot loop but the Wifi isnt working and I do have the modules on my SD card.
C. Install custom rom
========================
. Turn on ur phone now then keep pressing volume down to enter CWM.
. Standard operation before installing new rom :
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- mount and storage -> format /system
- advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
- advanced -> wipe battery stats
. Now install zip from sdcard -> choose the UHD zip file, and follow the instruction in aroma. After finish don't reboot yet.
. Unchecked the reboot in aroma, after finish, u will be back in cwm.
. Now install the wifi modules first ( usually the custom kernel have their own wifi modules).
. reboot system.
. Finish
Please Help!!

Hi Ejazr,
When you finish with aroma press the back key, then select advanced (the last option, in the bottom), and there you'll find the option reboot recovery, select it, then follow with the wifi modules etc.
Good luck.

Hi BajoPrimate,
Thank you for your quick reply I really appreciate it!, I am very very new to this, but what I try to do to enter the CWM mode is shutdown the phone, turn it back on while pressing the down volume button, but it doesn't seem to do anything, it just boots into the normal phone screen, Please help as I desperately need to resolve the issue with my Wi-Fi not authenticating.

Hi Ejazr, try another key, in my brother's phone it's the back key, but it could be another, reboot and try eventually you'll get it.
Edited : my brother says that with this room he uses volumen down key also, so I don't know, perhaps you could try installing x-parts from the market, but be careful, I'm not sure now. Sorry and good luck.
Good luck, and you're welcome.

Well, just Flash the .587 ftf . and then flash the kernel, and then install ROM from CWM. It should work if your did this procedural properly.
Wish the best . :good:

[Q] Help me! Flash kernel problem!

Im a new with this kind thing.
I flash custom kernel which is cm_anzu-LX-20130926-NIGHTLY provided in moPROJECT42 v8 rom.
then, i open my phone the logo kernel is out.After that my phone is blank. Nothing happen.
I dont know my step using flashtool to flash kernel is right or wrong.. Somebody help me?
I cant open my Phone.
My step using flashtool- i connect my phone in fastboot (blue light)>Open FlashTool>Click Flash Device>Fastboot mode>i choose "select kernel to flash">then i choose that kernel boot.img>then only 2 or 3 second its say done. I disconnect my phone and i open, see the Logo, then just black screen.
somebody can help me?
My device is Xperia Arc S. Already unlock bootloader. Already root and install X-part for CWM.

next time read the instructions provided by the ones who posted whatever it is that you have downloaded.
> after using FlashTool to flash the kernel restart your phone.
> then right at the moment you see the kernel's logo on the screen press any of
the hardware buttons of your phone repeatedly until your phone enters recovery
mode.
> inside the recovery mode choose "install update zip" or something like that,
then choose the .zip file you wish to install, in this case, its the CM10.1 LX ROM
that you have downloaded. wait until it is done.
> then wipe data, cache and dalvik cache.
> restart the phone.
for more details i suggest that you go back and read the instruction provided in the thread where you saw that ROM, and use the search function for tutorial on how to properly install ROMS and Kernel and what not.
now, have a nice day!
