[Q] Need some information about JellyBelly ROM

Hello everyone.
I am fairly new to Galaxy Nexus (but not new to Android ROM flashing). How do I install JellyBelly? Currently I am rooted with BL unlocked. Please answer the following questions:
- Do I need CWM for JellyBelly?
- Do I need to wipe/factory reset (I am on yakju 4.0.4)
- Exactly when do I flash "JellyFix"? Right after I flash the ROM?
- Does the ROM has any issues (i.e battery life, volume, hw problems etc.)
- Do you advise to install this ROM, or instead wait for the official Google's OTA?
Now I could have easily found answers to this in the original thread, but the search functionality is unavailable for me and I am not in the mood of going through 100s of pages. I would really appreciate it if someone answers these questions for me.

You do need CWM
You would have to wipe data & cache
So far I have not encountered any bugs, everything runs completely smooth. (Project Butter )
I saw you flash now, I promise you will not regret it.

Poster above me practically answered everything. Except that, most roms now, you don't need to flash "JellyFix" or whatever, because their roms have been updated to include the fix internally, so you just flash the rom and you're good. But for the sake of completeness, yes, you would flash the fix for whatever problem after you flash the rom.

You're gonna be wiping your device to install a ROM (CDMA or GSM phones) or wiping your device to flash an image (GSM phones). Either way you lose it all.

If you want to keep your data use titanium backup.

Not the stuff on your sdcard. As for your app data, you can easily use Titanium Backup to back it up before hand, and restore it after.

[Q] T-mobile samsung galaxy s2 roms

Hello XDA,
T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2
Android version: 4.0.4
Kernel version: 3.0.8
This is another rookie posting about roms. This is my issue; I have been trying for quiet a long time to install a custom room on my galaxy S2 from T-mobile. However, I haven’t been successful in my goals. Rooting the phone is quiet simple I encounter no problems with that part. When it comes to installing a custom rom is a failure. For starters I would like to install is CM9 stable Version. Right now I’m on square one; as I’m writing this post I’m also rooting my devices. If you guys could guide me through the installation and kernels necessary it would really make me a happy camper. Thanks.

Your post is full of contradictions from top to bottom and that it makes
me somewhat confused....

I'm not trying to be bashfull, but I don't understand what you want, because
if you managed to root your phone, then you also can read the instructions
on how to flash a ROM.
Every Dev. has in the 1-st post of each ROM how to do it step-by-step.

It seems that you are able to get your device rooted (which isnt too difficult to do when on 4.0.4 or 4.0.3 on a t989). Flashing roms are very easy. Simply download the zip file from the download section of the CyanogenMod website (MAKE 100% SURE ITS THE T989 aka HERCULES rom) otherwise you will 99% permanently brick your phone and cant fix it. Very simple method usually if you are running ClockworkMod Recovery. Full data wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache. flash rom from sdcard (zip file) and then if the rom requires (flash the gapps for that rom). Like the guy above me said, you can find a ton of posts here that have tutorials on how to do it, or even a YouTube video.

[Q] Simple question of a noob ^^

I've changed rom on my italian TIM LGP350 phone about sep/oct of 2012 with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1610605.
The image that was avalable at that time was the CyanogenMod-7-20120916-NIGHTLY-P350 and after some work to understand how to use it, it go up well and I'm still satisfied with it.
I've recently tried to reconnect (I stop to use my bt earphone) my bt earphone (http://www.cellularline.com/catalog...ari_bluetooth_cellular_line/dualphone_headset)
that with original rom work great, but now the phone dont recognize it.
I've tried with my pc with bluetooth and the earphone work fine with skype and pther programs.
I read in the thread that in the meantime the rom for my phone go on and now there's a better version (ty for the work guys).
Just to evade the huge work that I do first time to use the first rom (as noob to evade problems there're so many things to read and not only in this forums ^^. things dont seems so clear at first read) and the loss of configuration for all apps installed, what's the right things i must do to install the new version? I cant still talk in that thread (restriction of my noob state), so I asked here. ^^
- use rom manager to put "ClockworkMod 6.0.1.4 Recovery" version on the 5.0.2.8 version that i use first time (and that I still have)
- Wipe cache
- Wipe dalvik-cache
- copy then the new rom on SD and then use ClockworkMod on it
If this is the right way, I'll lose some apps configuration again, I'll lose only the cyanogen configuration or I only see the new version (with new stuff) without lose anything? I need to backup something just to be sure, before use new rom version? ^^
thank you for answers

If you are only using CyanogenMod 16/9/2012 and want to update your phone to the lastest version of the same rom, you just need to download ROM, put on SD, Wipe cache & dalvik cache, flash it and enjoy.
If you are using CyanogenMod 16/9/2012 and want to change ROMs, you will need to do the steps that are avaliable on that page of the ROM. And if you are worried about apps, download Titanium Backup and do some Backups just in case =D

With original branded one my phone was so slow, while with this one i gain at least 50% of speed ^^;
Now I like to use my BT earphone so I hope that with updated one version I can at least to connect the BT to answer call ^^

You should too follow the news on the topic so you can be update with the development of CyanogenMod 7.

Just update Clockwork and Rom. All go right and I dont have a problem.
Unfortunately seems that my phone still dont recognize my BT earphone... lol
I'll need to wait if someone will find a way to make it work ^^
ty for help, this was my first update of recovery and rom so I was still worried to what to do. ^^

Back in the day of early development of custom ROM for the device, it was pointed out that either BT device recognition work or the offline charging, but due to some unknown reason these two don't work at the same time...
What you can do, as I did months ago, use stock ROM, flash custom kernel, overclock...
Why now I'm using custom ROM? Because I sold my BT earpiece...

[Q] Having trouble with the I747M and ROMs.

Alright so I'm new at this and haven't managed to brick my phone yet so that's a good sign.
As far as I've learned the process is Root>Recovery>Rom Flash, at least generally.
I rooted it successfully, but when I try to install recovery with ROM Manager it lists only one S3 with a bracketed cell phone provider I don't think I have. So I ditched CWM and went to Goo Manager but when I try to install that, it just hangs on some download page telling me its about to start.
So I'm going to assume the recovery thing is pretty easy to sort out and move on to my next question.
My S3 is unlocked, but I am under Koodo, which is an extension of Telus. My phone model is a I747M, not an I747. As far as I can see they are identical in hardware and software, but I'm really wondering what ROMs I can install. I've researched but didn't find much, and I don't want to blindly flash a i747 rom onto a potentially different phone, and risk anything.
Oh and PS any ROM with the vanilla android (like on the google phones) will do.
Thanks.

Hello Noob (I mean that kindly, I used to be one)
I'll help you with what ever you need. I'm Canadian and on Bell i747M. Feel free to ask me any questions and I'll reply as soon as I can. Hopefully I wont be too confusing. I'll just try to break down all your questions in a point form.
First, i747 and i747M are almost identical. With the latest 4.3 ROMS there are differences in the bootloader that will make data not work on your phone. For now, stay away from any stock 4.3 ROM. AOSP ROMs (CM10, Task650) are fine.
Recovery: Through Rom Manager you will want to download the recovery titled "Samsung Galaxy S3 (ATT) " The AT&T version of the S3 is commonly shown as D2ATT(i747). This recovery will work for you. I have had a problem with TWRP myself recently being stuck on the download page. There is another way to install TWRP, but it is a bit more difficult. Try CWM first and if you like I will give you instructions for TWRP.
ROMs: If you want the most common and most stable Vanilla ROMs for your phone you are gonna want Cyanogenmod or Task's ROM. They are very similar with a few different features. Beware, if you ask questions in Task's thread you will be told it is an ATT ROM only. It does work on the i747M though.

You will of course lose Touchwiz on these ROMs.

Awesome, I appreciate the writeup. So I flashed recovery successfully (ROM Manager doesn't seem to have d2att anymore so I used ODIN).
I'll probably go for Cyanogen mod tommorow, I'll post again if I have any questions.
Thanks.

CM is a good ROM. There should soon be Kitkat versions available. You will be seeing nightly updates when it does come around. Before you start flashing, you should learn what a 'Nandroid' is. You can take a Nandroid backup in CWM or TWRP. Always save these to an External SD card. If anything ever goes wrong with your ROM, you can just re flash the Nandroid backup and be back to where you were the day you did the backup. The farther you get into flashing the more likely you will need these. Before doing your first Flash, do an Nandroid and copy your photops and stuff off of the phone. When jumping between Stock and AOSP roms, you will need to do a full wipe and will lose what you have not backed up. Be sure to sync contacts to Google....this is the one that has screwed me the most.

Alright, so I have CWM v5.5.0.4, which from what I understand is pretty outdated. It was probably just me following an outdated guide and forgot to look up an updated version. Will I need to update of will it cause any problems? I already backed up my phone on 5.5.0.4 with Nandroid.
Also I feel like I'm misunderstanding the procedure of flashing a new rom. So I downloaded a cm-10.1.3 zip which is is the latest stable build on android 4.2.2. This has an .img inside so this is the rom. I use CWM to flash this onto my phone correct? (Once I figure out if I need to update CWM)
Lastly whats the deal with Gapps? I downloaded the CM Gapps for 10.1 from their wiki. Is this the only way to get Gmail, Maps, and the Google Play Store onto the phone?
From what I understand I think I can just use odin to flash, correct? If so I'd probably prefer that because its the most familiar and noob friendly.

I wouldn't use Odin. It really will only become necessary if you want to flash back to complete stock.
You do want the latest version of CWM installed or you will run into problems flashing. You can get this 2 ways.
1: through Rom Manager. You will find your specific CWM with these steps. a-Recovery Setup b-ClockworkMod Recovery c-Hit menu button to left of home and pick 'Show All Devices' d- Here scroll until you get 'Samsung Galaxy S3 (AT&T)' D2ATT. e- Click Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Allow permissions for root. Ignore the touch option unless you want to pay for it. I can teach you the free way.
You will now have the latest CWM
You can download the latest CM-10.2, it is in release candidate stage and is extremely stable. They have been working on it for months. It will give you 4.3 (The good kind, not the one I warned against). After downloading a ROM, you leave it zipped exactly like it is. Do not extract it, just move it to your SD card. You will also want Gapps. Gapps is necessary because it is Google's own software that is legally not allowed to be built into ROMs. It must be installed separately. You can find those here. They help you know which to use with chart depending on which Cyanogen you use http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps. Again just move the zip over to your internal.
With these 2 zips transferred to your phone you are ready to start. Before you do, make sure you have transferred all your pics and stuff off of the phone. Also be sure to save your contacts. You can now boot into recovery. You should notice recovery version 6.0.4.3. Volume button scrolls menu, Power button selects. You will want to do a Nandroid backup in case anything goes wrong. I know you did one with CWM 5.5 but should do another just to be sure it is with current CWM. You can delete the other one later.
Goto - backup and restore
Goto - backup to external or /storage/sdcard1 (i put both because im already on 4.4 and may have different menu than you.
Let this work and when done continue to flashing ROM
Go to 'choose zip from /sdcard'
Select CM-10-xxxxxxx.zip
After this completes you will do the same with Gapps.zip
After completion of both files you will need to factory reset your phone. Flashing AOSP over Stock will cause boot loops if you do not.
Go back to CWM main menu and select wipe data/factore reset
After completing this go to wipe cache partition and select this.
Finally you want to wipe Dalvik cache. you will find this in CWM under main menu /advanced/wipe dalvik cache.
Upon completion of this you should have CM10 4.3 running. Just exit CWM reboot phone and when booted follow setup instructions.
Let me know if you get stuck somewhere.

Alright cool. So through Mod Manager, there was not d2att, there was only S3(Metro PCS) which I thought was a bit odd. I found a way to flash an updated recovery via terminal emulator so that went well.
And your steps were very well written and concise. I'm now running CM without a problem.
Thanks for your help!

Cool terminal emulator was that other way to do it. Hope all is well for you with this. Welcome to flashing. As another tip, if you are going to flash a lot, there is an app called Titanium backup that is well worth the $5 it costs. It saves all your apps and data and after a clean wipe you can just reinstall all your apps in one step. For example after a wipe you will not lose your Angry Birds levels if you restore your titanium data. It's worth a look.

[Q] Cm 10 to Cm11?

Me and my son rooted our S3's a while ago. We have Cm 10 nightly "Oct 28/12" and want to update to Cm 11 nightly but I think we have to do something different as to a normal rom update? I think I read we have to update the kernal or something first but didn't understand it. We have the newest Clockworkmod 6.0.4.3. If someone could point us in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Alright first of all, which was the last official AT&T software update you did? If your at least updated to 4.1.2, you'll be good. As for the update, since it is a different update, a clean flash is necessary. First, you have two options, can get the latest CM 11 nightlife from
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2att
OR, there's an excellent ROM by a developer named PwnCakes193, called Quantum which is based on CM 11, but based on community feedback and comparing it to the official CM 11 bug thread, Quantum is a lot more stable. It doesn't get updated daily but at least every 2-4 days (no promises). If you decide to check it out, make sure to read the thread twice and read a few of the latest comments here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390147
For both these, you'll need the latest GApps. I recommend Paranoid Android GApps from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
Don't let the name trick you, you can use these GApps for any 4.4.x ROM (I recommend the Modular package).
Once you have a ROM and GApps downloaded and on your phone, the flashing process will be like this for CWM:
Wipe data/factory reset>wipe cache
>format /system>format /cache> wipe dalvik cache. Flash ROM, flash GApps, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache. After this, you should be good as gold, so just setup and download your apps and that's it!

Thanks a lot for your help. I have 4.1.2 on my phone .Do I not have to update the kernel ? As I think awhile ago I tried updating to 4.2 and it wouldn't go and someone said I needed to update the kernel,,but that was awhile ago maybe things have changed.I 'll try your method and let you know how it goes. thanks

ok I wiped everything they said to then tried to install Quantum 4.3 and says installation aborted "status 7" I remember this from last time and I never went any further because someone said I had to update the kernel?

its not the Kernel, I guess my bootloader isn't in the assert command of the roms approved bootloaders, so it won't load it. so I guess I have to update my bootloader,,,hmmm

Are you trying to install 4.3 or Quantum v3?, Because Quantum v3 is 4.4.2 KitKat. Do you have a Canadian Galaxy S3? There might be something related to this in the ROM thread. Double check to make sure your recovery is the latest. If I had to guess, its probably be the boot loader, just be careful and read twice before you do anything.

It was the bootloader. Updated it with Clockworkmod to the newest Canadian one"DLK4" then the Quantum v3 went on smooth . thanks for the help

Sure thing, glad I could help. If you feel brave, PwnCakes just posted v3.15 about 5 minutes ago, which is the latest 4.4.2. If you decide to, you'll need a clean flash and latest GApps.

Yup, all versions have Google Now working. Have you made sure that there's no updates pending for it in the Play Store? Make sure that after every update, even a dirty flash, that you install GApps. If you forget to, the search bar will bring up a Gingerbread looking search app, and a lot of the Google apps and services will not work. For a "dirty" flash (no apps or data is lost), my process goes like this: wipe cache>wipe dalvik cache> format /system (no data will be lost)> Install ROM> Install GApps> wipe cache and dalvik. You should only use this if you are on the ROM already, not if it is a completly new ROM. Hope this helps!
