[Q] how to flawlessly install or update roms?

hi there guys.
before posting this question i searched for my problem and i couldnt find a solution, i hope someone out there had the same problem and can help a noob.
-i have a gt 7105 unlocked generic.
-rooted
-twrp 2.4.1
-custom rom (cleanRom, 4.5 (congrats to the developer by the way))
problem is, i can install with no problem the 4.5 version, ALTHOU there is a new version 4.6.1 that i just cant install.
on the recovery everything is fine ( of course i do clean flash, wipe cash, format etc) but then i get stuck with the "samsung gt 7105" boot screen.
guys, i think i am missing something, and its buggin me. thanks for reading, any help is welcome. ( sorry if im forgetin to post more info)
ps: i also have a xperia arc, (lupus kernel), with custom rom ( xperia ultimate HD 2.0.3) THAT i am also unable to update/flash a newer version(3.0)!! i think the problem can be related, so i mentioned it.

There is no template way to install or update roms. It must be specified by the dev as to how to update the rom or install it.
It varies with the degree of mods.
You can try changing to appropriate kernels and doing a data wipe.

yes, you are right, and i did as the dev recomended, more than 3 times. i forgot to mention that my kernel is the latest perseus. which is used also by some in conjuction with cleanRom. what is buggin me is that i have no problems with instaling the previous version (4.5).
is it possible that not having the latest TWRP be the source of the problem??
thanks in taking the time to reply

[Q] Help with Roms, Kernels for Galaxy Tab 3 8.0

Hey guys, complete newbie to the Android scene. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 SM-T310, and I have it rooted. I installed the Kernel(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455058) and Rom(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471642) that Arshull made but don't really see any specific changes. My OS looks the same and I don't see any changes.
When I go to About Device I see that the Kernel version is "3.0.31GalaTab3_8.0_Kernel_v13.10.14-3-gd541fc6-dirty [email protected] #9 Mon Oct 14 23:04:24 EDT 2013"
When I go to About Device I see that the Build number is "GalaTab3_MH2-4.2.2_v13.10.4"
I rebooted into TWRP, did a backup, deleted delvik cache and cache, installed the zips that I downloaded for the OS and Kernel. Do I need other apps or am I doing something wrong?

What exactly did you expect to see? The Rom you installed is a minimally changed stock-based Rom, so it will look the same.

I expected to see changes, but it makes sense if it is based off the stock rom. However, I thought the Kernel was going to allow me to set power/performance settings?

You need to install a cpu control app.

Hi... I wanted to thank you very much for the work you and ketut.kumajaya put in on the blackhawk kernel 1.8. It is very much appreciated.
I take it that the 1.8 kernel allows frequency scaling... correct?
Is there any specific CPU control app you would recommend? I'm using the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0.
Does installing the 'disable Powerdeamon constraint' zip (thatnk you for that as well) allow changes made with a CPU controller to stick?
I guess I am trying to locate the governers and wonder if I'll have access to them via the CPU control app?
Sorry for the noob questions. I hope this is a better place to ask rather than in the development threads.
Thanks again

Trickster Mod cpu control app seems to work well. It will allow you to choose which governor you want to run and adjust min/max frequencies.
The settings will not stick unless you use the powerdaemon.disable mod.

Thanks again. Trickster mod shows me all of the governors. Now to just decipher the parameters they use to control the CPU. In the past I've just used trial and error... But this is off topic... I just appreciate the advice

The kernel for device (sm-t311) can be found on this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522091). Be sure to choose the kernel for your device (i.e. sm-t311 or sm-t31x). This is not a stock kernel but is better than the stock version.

[Q] Which Custom rom? :)

Hey Guys,
After using my Note II for a year or so, i feel that im ready to falsh a custom rom. But my problem is that there are so many of them out there, that i'm not sure which one to choose? - Do you have any advice based my criteria?
1. Needs to be stable, and proven working...
2. Needs to have the CRT-Screen animation...
3. Needs that Aroma thingy, where i can choose what to install, and what not to install...
3. Fairly easy to install
My phone is not rooted at the moment So a complete easy-2-follow guide would be appreciated?
- Thanks in advance...

These types of best rom/rom advice etc threads are not allowed for various reason, main being that they're just opinionated and if you want those then you can use search because the topics already exist.
If you want a rom to suit your needs then you're expected to try some and find one that suits you.
Part of the fun is trying and learning

Hello There!
I currently have a T-mobile Note 3 Phone working with Metro PCS (Yes I switched the carrier) and everything seems to be working fine so far.
My phone is currently rooted and I also sucessfully flashed W03 SlimKat 27.1 so far I love this ROM.
My current kernel version is: 3.4.0 W03 Slim Kernel Tuesday Oct 7 2014.
Do you think I need this kernel update?: CAF-W03-Slim hlte v1.0i (10/10/2014)
If so, can you please tell me how to succesfully flash this kernel update? Do I need to wipe/clean the current kernel before installing this update?

You just flash it like a ROM, no need to wipe anything, just flash. You'll get to a menu asking for options, if in doubt, stay with the default and just hit next.
If you want to get back your current (stock ROM) kernel, just reflash the ROM without wiping anything and you're back.
It's always a good idea to make a nandroid backup, you never know

Hello There!
Just in case I wiped the cache and delvik cache before flashing your custom kernel.
I followed the menu options and I only flashed the kernel (your custom kernel) since I thought if I flash something else I will have to re do the settings and install my phone apps again.
If I want to go back to the default ROM's Kernel, just flash the W03 ROM and that's all? without wiping or deleting anything? How about my phone settings and apps? Will they still be there?

Yep.
But if you just flash my kernel (first menu choice) you're mostly on stock and don't profit from any of the benefits.
Reflash and go through the menus, just hit "Next" till you're through.
To get back, just reflash the ROM without wiping.
Your settings won't get lost.
But as I said, you should make a backup, it's always the safest thing to do.

First of all, thank you for your quick tech support.
I did reflash your custom kernel and this time many windows options appeared and I just hit next until the end.
Everything seems to be working fine but can you please in a user friendly language tell me 3 o 5 simple facts of the benefits of flashing your kernel?
Also what is Wipe Cache and Delvik cache? I read somewhere else that it is a good idea to do this in order to install a new kernel .

Well you do use :
- different governor (handles CPU frequency)
- different hotplug driver (faux's intelliplug, that's handling CPU on-/offlining)
- touchwake (allows to wake the device by touching the screen when it times out)
- fastcharge (allows charging faster on USB chargers)
- etc. etc.
Might be worth having a read here and then here (Changelogs).
Dalvik cache wiping for kernels is useless, it won't hurt, but you'll lost time as you'll have to wait for it to be rebuilt on boot ("Android is updating your apps..."), cache partition can be usefull in my kernel's case, as it will help Aroma with an issue that sometimes settings don't get generated, so that you can do, won't cost much time. But in general for all kernels not using Aroma (menu system you saw while flashing), there's no need.

Hello, I would love to test Google's new Inbox on this GEM of a Rom. Anyone have an invite ?
Inviato dal mio SM-N900W8

I'm currently running v27. Is it safe to dirty flash to 28? Do I need to flash to 27.1 first?
Also I've noticed that video playback freezes occasionally when I seek repeatedly. Is this a common issue? Does it get fixed in the new release?

My smart cover only activates while closed and power button is pressed and not through calls. Is there an option to enable smart phone covers or has it not been implemented?

Safest way to update from V27.1 with Yank555 custom kernel to V28?
I have a similar question:
I am currently running V27.1 with Yank555 custom kernel but I would like to try out this V28 ROM update but I don't want to download and install my apps and settings all over again since they are a lot.
I am also using Nova Launcher and it looks like Nova Launcher was remove from V28.
Does any body know what will be the safest way to update from V27.1 (with Yank555 Kernel) to V28 (with the Stock kernel)?

Has development stopped on this rom? Not getting any news updates. Thanks in advance.

Note 3 sm-n9006
Hi, I have a legit SM-N9006 3g Chinese variant on a touchwiz 4.4.2 rom, I am kind of new to roms and I'm wondering if the Slimkat rom would work for my phone. Thank you very much

Does this rom work on international note 3?

protected apps v28
I'm really liking this ROM. Great job.
I wanted to know if the protected apps feature is still in this ROM somewhere. If so, I can't seem to find it. Or, was it stripped out?

Hi everyone
I've been reading alot about this ROM and I really want to give it a shot
problem is ,, I have CWM recovery installed ,, can I use it to flash or TWRP is a must?
go easy on me, I'm a noob in all sense of the word
edit: boy.. looks like the last question to be answered was 6 months ago!!

Hi guys. I'm pretty new at this whole flashing thing and I've been working on a Note 3 (N900T) my uncle wasn't using anymore. I have been working on this for a few days now and this is the first thread I've come across that has a lot of success. I'd appreciate the help. I've tried to install the ROM from this thread but I got "e: failed to verify whole-file signature" when trying to install. Here's what I've done so far.
Wiped cache/user data.
run the ROM from the SD card (fat32) then that's when i get the error message.
Thanks in advance for the help.

[Q] New G3 owner with some questions.

I checked several of the threads in the various subforums but since I am currently really busy (have the phone for 3 weeks and I am not using it cause had no time to check XDA ) if you are kind enough I have some questions that spending more time in the threads would probably answer themselves but alas...
A: If I root the G3 can I bring it back to stock without any indication it got rooted (I heard some phones have special logs that show if a phone has been rooted that survive the various flashes), in case I need to send it for service?
B: Should I go with the root method shown on XDA TV (which doesn't show how to install a custom recovery) or one of the one click auto batch scripts?
C: I think generally this question is not allowed cause it can lead to flame but which ROM would you recommend I try first? I need just a clean, smooth running ROM. Disclaimer: Avoid arguing with other users if you disagree with something they said, just state the ROM and if you want your reason for picking it and I will scroll through them and decide.
Much obliged if you care to answer them and apologies to mods if this breaks any rules.

A: You can always go back to stock using LG flash tool with no evidence of rooting nor like samsung's knox
B: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3072767
C: I personally use resurrection remix rom based on CM12 due to performance but if you want fully working G3 with no bugs at all I recommend my favorite rom CupaChups 4.2. Super fast stock base rom with some extra features.
P.S. I recommend you to instal Kernel Adiutor from the play store after you root your G3 and change the governor from default Interactive to Conservative. Cos from some unknown reasons the Interactive governor is bugged on all G3 and changing that will highly increase your performance speed and feel. This works with base and aosp roms also.
Hope this helps
via LG G3 @ Resurrection Remix

Thank you, is there a problem if the phone is already on stock 5.0? Can I still root it with the same methods or must I restore it to 4.4.x? (A simple restore to factory blabla does it?)
Cheers

If you have a look around there's a one click method that works for all G3 variants regardless of software version that is here on the forums. You can use that, download the zip for your desired custom rom, install a custom recovery and then flash the ROM and you should be good to go. There's plenty of guides for you to use, and each custom rom thread should have it's own installation guide
