Hi everyone,
As an android user without a lot of experience regarding flashing custom roms, i'd like to be sure that i won't mess my device up.
I'd like to downgrade my Nexus 5 woth stock rooted 5.0.1 to PA 4.4.4. Do i need to do something special besides wiping my device completely?
Thanks in advance and sorry if my English isn't good, i'm a native Dutch speaker...

Hi all,
The note 2 is my first Android device so please excuse the noob question.
I have rooted and flashed jedi x19 rom and am enjoying it. The problem is, x20 is out now and it seems to upgrade I would have to wipe my device again.
I think I want to stick with touchwiz. Are there any roms I can update without losing my data? I know I must wipe data to change roms, I'm just talking about a newer version of the same rom. Thanks.
i AM CURRENTLY RUNNING ANDROID 4.3 Shiny ROM on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus TORO...I was interested in running 4.4 and the newer kitkat versions of the roms but i know it will brick or soft brick my phone if i try to do it without updating...is there something i have to do first? go back to stock update to 4.4.4 and then re root? I am sorta a noob but i know some things about root. I dont do anything without researching first. Any questions or guidelines for me?

Just follow the instructions in the ShinyRom thread here
forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/rom-6-4-14-shiny-rom-ota-stock-android-t2642375
and you won't have any troubles upgrading your ROM. It's easy and as you already have ShinyRom installed there shouldn't appear any problems!
Hey folks I sort of tired of my bloated stock Note 2014 and I am about to root it in order to perform either a Stock rom cleanup or install a custom rom, so I appreciate some suggestions of what you consider a stable custom Rom.
I am normally ok with stock rooted roms and I like some of the Samsung apps but I have CM10/11 installed on a bunch of devices.
Thanks in advance!
Hello everyone!
I always wanted to get clean Android on my P6, I now it is possible, I saw some AOSP roms, and Paranoid or omni is also looking very good.
The only problem is: there are a lot of tutorials, but they are all written for B506, and I am on B512. I never unlocked, rooted or flashed my phone before, so I dont know how to get started. Do someone want to help me? (If this community still is alive )
Current situation: 100% default P6U06 running B512, no root, no unlock etc.
Thanks in advance!
Hey guys I just started playing around with ROMS and I have some questions. I'm running Cyanogenmod 11 (5.0.2) right now and I'm kind of confused about how to try out other mods. For example I'd like to flash a kit kat CyanogenMod. Is it possible to run different versions of OS from the recovery? Can I switch between Lollipop roms and KitKat roms with no problems? and when I do flash another rom, how do I keep my settings and apps for the rom I'm about leave? And one more question, what is the best recovery to use? I'm using TWRP right now. Sorry for all the noob questions guys. Thanks for reading and I hope to read your responses.

the only way you can downgrade to kitkat in order to flash other kitkat roms is if you did a backup of you old kitkat rom including the efs. If you didn't you're stuck on lollipop. When flashing a new rom you can't save your setting but you can back up all your apps + data with titanium backup. It's not advisable to restore data as well as it can cause problems, so just restore the apps.

Couldn't he do a flash of the stock rom with lg flash tool?
I know this is old, but where did you get cm11 for this phone. All I can find is cm12 and they're unofficial nightlies.
