I just rooted my phone yesterday and flashed warm z 2.2 rom and i want to flash a few of the add-ons. Do i just go into recovery and install from zip? Do i need to clear anything before i do this? this topic has been discussed before but im still unclear on exactly what i do. thanks.
You don't always need to wipe, but yeah, most stuff you flash in recovery. I usually wipe Cache and Dalvik before flashing anything, no matter what it is just to be safe. You shouldn't have to wipe anything other than that.
If you let me know the specific mods, I can double check for you.
Edit: Welcome! Excellent 1st ROM selection.
Yea im just trying to get the "recent apps in notification bar" and the "Hulu" add ons. thanks again for the help.
Yeah, you flash those, although I can't find the recent apps mod, I'm sure it is a flashable zip.
Also, someone the other day had trouble with the hulu zip. If you do, let me know and I can direct you to how to manually install Hulu.
ok im waiting on my battery to charge so i can flash the "recent apps in dropdown menu" add-on to my rom. Just to be 100% clear, i can just go into recovery and hit install from zip and choose the file? Is it best to clear the cache & dalvik cache before hand or does it matter? and if i do clear them will it erase any of my apps/files? Sorry, im really new to this stuff and im trying to learn as i go.

Its best to wipe the cache and dalvik before flashing anything in recovery. And it won't delete you apps, ect. Think of it like cleaning your internet cache on your browser. And yes, after the wipe, click install zip, and then choose zip. If you flash multiple things, wipe then flash again.
Ex: wipe cach/dalvik, flash thing one, go back, wipe cache/dalvik. flash thing 2, ect. Then reboot when done.
ok thanks a lot for the help.

I know I wasn't a part of this conversation but I used it to educate myself all the same, I would hit the thanks button if I could find it. Sorry, I'm new to this...
Are you using CWM to flash? I'm new to this as well and I don't think I'll be able to wipe cache without doing a full wipe with it.

You can use CWM Recovery to Flash. Or there are several other Recoveries out there. Amon_Ra v2.3 , or SmelkusMod.

so i isntall the kernal which i have to downlaod to get stock rom?
Or i can do SOny Update service and restore?
Try first install another kernel. Vegance http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097138 but flash this only FASTBOOT.
If this does not not work try a clean install like this:
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
If this does not not help try the tutorial you sent in from the beginning.

3. Plugged my phone in and transferred the .zip onto phone
4. Went into TWRP
5. Did a factory reset by going to wipe then sliding
6. Clicked install
7. Selected cyanogenmod zip thingy
8. "Failed"

I did some research and heard you need to open the zip file and move the boot.img into my phone then flash it via TWRP. Is that right? Can someone tell me step by step please? I do not want to screw something up.
this "failed" message could be one of a couple of different issues. exactly what was the fail message? and what release of cm are/were you currently running?

It just said Failed in red.
I am running 10.1-20130511-NIGHTLY-d2att
I can update OK but just not flash cyanogenmod.
Is it possible to flash boot.img by just moving it on to my device then clicking install and selecting it on TWRP?

This is how I flash a rom in TWRP (I always transfer my pictures to my external before these steps, you might lose them if you don't)
1) Transfer ROM and GAPPS to external SD (Micro SDcard in TWRP)
2) Nandroid Backup
3) Choose "wipe"
3b) Swipe to factory reset.
4) Choose "back"
5) Choose "advanced wipe"
5b) Check Dalvik Cache, System, Data, Cache.
5c) Swipe to wipe.
6) Choose Back
7 - optional -) I always format data (not required, will wipe EVERYTHING)
8) Install Rom
9) Install Gapps
10) Wipe cache/dalvik
11) Reboot.
Your bootloader might be not up to date. The newer ROM releases are giving that problem to some people. We'll cross that bridge when we have to.

Bell APN is built in the ROM.
Anytime you flash a ROM you run the risk of losing you IMEI (which is why you should have it backed up already) :good:
I can't think of anything else to tell you other than make sure all your pics and personal valuables are backed up on your computer or external SD before wiping anything. If you wipe it by accident it isn't restorable.
I don't know your level of ability or flashing history so I don't know what you don't know.
To flash the bootloader, I just put it on my phone and press install, right?

That's why the ROM fails. Your bootloader isn't up to date. Follow those two links I sent.
I haven't had to update mine (it already is) so I can't assist you with this, it seems straight forward if you know ODIN.
No bootloaders are flashed through ODIN
Hello,
I'll just flashed my HTC, and installed Android Revolution HD 71.1 and this included the Harman/Kardon audio.
But now I have a problem, I was trying to hear a different but when I played a song with the standard music app, I didn't hear a thing. Same problem with Google Music.
But when I start YouTube and play a video, there is sound.
Does anyone know the problem or does someone know the solution?
Thanks.

Uhm.. not really. I followed these:
--
How to flash:
Download ROM and place it on your virtual SD card
Boot your phone in recovery mode (vol down + power)
In main menu, select "install zip from sdcard"
Select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of Android Revolution ROM
You can use data wiping option in AROMA (optionally if coming from earlier version of my ROM, obligatory if coming from stock or other custom ROM)
After flashing process is complete, reboot the device
--
And i did a data wiping.

I always wipe in recovery. AROMA wipes have known to be problematic on past devices.
Try to wipe data, Dalvik and cache (the is the default factory reset in TWRP) and flash again, and see if that helps.

Thanks for your reply's, i did all you said.. but didn't help.
I will try once again but this time without installing the Harman/Kardon software.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/9x3twhxlx797tai/hk_enable_and_adsp_update_v3.zip
Try flashing this in twrp.
Thanks for your help guys. I appreciate it.
Yesterday i reinstalled my ROM without the Harman/Kardon audio, and it works now.
So I will just let it be this way.

Just in case you did want HK, you need to be s off to guarantee it working.
Or if you are s on, install a sound mod like project era first then HK.
Anyway good to hear you got it sorted

No, but most people would flash gapps 6 too, else you will miss a lot (must be done at the same time as the ROM the first time to set permissions)

Copy CM13 rom and gapp in your sd card.
Backup your old firmware through twrp.
Do a factory Reset from Wipe.
And install CM13 and gapp respectively.

TWRP went on in less than 10 second does that sound normal ? and how do you know if its actually on there?
Nope. Installation take atleast 2 or 3 minutes.
and if its installed properly you would have seen different rom from the stock.
Here is what i use for s4 mini(i9192). Also used it on i9190 model as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/development/rom-aokp-rom-25-apr-2016-t3366314
and these steps mentioned in the website.
A. Initial install
1. Copy ROM and Gapps to your external SD Card or internal memory
2. Boot into recovery
3. Wipe
4. Install ROM and Gapps
5. Reboot
Its simple. Should have worked.
I hope you have installed your model rom.

In TWRP Swipe for factory reset will do the job. you can also do dalvik /art cache in advance wipe. System or other wipe never did it for changing roms.

Ie that enough only to make WIPE FACTORY RESET AND WIPE DALVIK CACHE is not necessary to the FORMAT SYSTEM, DATA AND CACHE ??
sorry i do not understand.
to install a rom just do a factory reset. nothing else is necessary.
If you do not do factory reset, sometimes you will not be able to install a new version of rom(for example, from kitkat to lollipop).
if you do not do factory reset its called dirty flash.
for example
you are using custom rom cm13. and it has a new update released, you go in twrp recovery and install the updated rom without doing factory reset. this way you can keep all the application and data you have.
i hope i am making some sense. it is hard for me to explain.
well do some flashing and you will understand but always make a backup.
