Ok so I want to install the ROM with the volume fix found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371054 but do I have to wipe cache, dalvik, data if I'm coming from the previous stock ROM that came with the device (ITL41D)?

No not really but you do want to unlock the bootloader and flash CWM first.

Directions above are brief and perfect.
One addition, can't hurt and is good practice, also make a nandroid backup after unlocking the bootloader and loading CWM but before flashing the ROM.
New devices bring new bugs and tweaks, plus us humans we are error prone. A good stock backup is usually one of the first things I always do .. even if I never end up using it. Provides a great fall back in case anything does go wrong.
Good luck and let us know if you have any issues!
i want to root, unlock bootloader and flash this ROM to my device
but i have several question regarding to the feature of this ROM
it says, same look but much faster..
does this mean:
-it supports HTC Media Link HD?
-it have the ImageSense and able to take photos while recording videos
-it is basically the exact same ROM as the stock one in pretty much everything but more speed?
thanks in advance.. :good:
Yes
Yes, if you can on stock ROM
Yes and it's rooted
well thank's! time for root now muehehehe
Good luck! If you run into problems, just ask in this thread and don't create a new one. Thanks.

What are the steps you are taking to flash your rom and boot.img?
when you flash your rom it should go into aroma.. choose the option that says do full wipe, if you dont you'll run into problems. after you have flashed it, flash your boot.img in fastboot mode from your computer then do fastboot erase cache to prevent any problems from the boot.img. Can you give me the steps your taking to flash?

Wiping is VERY IMPORTANT! if the necessary steps arn't taken then you can mix up new codes with the old codes leaving you with many different problems. Thats why devs ALWAYS recomment wiping even when Wiping isnt needed to avoid such problems. Also you might want to check your md5 sum from your downloaded rom.. could potentially be a bad download

You need to know what stock rom u need first. Check your phone's CID number. Yes these are all factory stock roms

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.
And enjoy ^_^

checked every file hash matches, did exactly as written, done all of above and it doesn't work
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.
Hello!
For some reason the custom ROMs Sultans CM13 and Resurrection Remix crash every 5-15 minutes, it freezes then reboots, and does it faster after that. I've tries reinstalling TWRP to no avail...
Stock works fine with Root and Xposed... But Custom ROMs don't want to work... So my guess is it's not a hardware issue...
I really want to get this solved since HOS is being merged with OOS...
help? Thanks!

No that's both dirty flashing. You need to wipe Dalvik + Cache + System + data.
Do not wipe internal because then there's nothing left to flash.
You will lose all your apps wiping data but I suppose you know right?

Yes I know, I've flashed before...
Now, when I wipe all but internal (for obvious reasons) I will loose root + xposed correct? I've never flashed any Roms while having root and xposed installed...

When you wipe all but internal you are starting clean and don't need to do anything other then flash ROM+gapps
And optional flash xposed. Root is already included in most roms.

Your doing it correctly.but still facing issues so i will suggest you to do real clean flash that means first flash full rom zip (about 1.3 gb in size) of stock oos via twrp then let device to boot.
Then enter into recovery ( use Official latest one) and wipe cache, data and system partition.
Now flash ROM.zip - supersu -kernel(optional) and now boot the Device and let it optimize all apps.
If you want Xposed now you can flash it ( be careful while selecting xposed zip . flash appropriate zip - sdk23 arm64)

Haven't had cause to use xposed for a while, but am assuming it still uses it's own framework? This used to preclude flashing a new rom whilst xposed was activated.

I'm so happy, I decided to wipe the dalvik and cache after every action... And wipe each party all together, then individually... It works!

But it does mean you have to do full wipe and or deactivate it before flashing new rom. I probably will get around to using xposed again one day just nothing I need from it at present.

Also, it crashes the same way every time, freeze for 5-10 seconds, then boop, black screen, then reboot...
SElinux is enforcing, and I'm encrypted... Could those have anything to do with it? Thanks!

Debugging instability with custom roms, and adding xposed modules into the mix, is a bit of a black art but here goes.
First install your custom ROM, with a clean flash i.e wipe everything. Do Not restore any data, except the stuff Google restores itself. Run the rom in this state for a good while (as a rule of thumb try running it for twice your expected stable period before considering it at stable i.e if it crashes once a day run it for two days) if stable proceed to next stage.
If your chosen custom ROM does not have xposed framework install it and activate now, Do not install any modules run for a while to access stability before proceeding to next step.
One by one install your chosen modules, again running each for a while to access stability.
At any one of these steps stability should degrade if so you have identified your culprit.
I know this process is laborious and likely to take a while to complete but sometimes otherwise rock solid roms can be affected by a combination of things and without carrying out the above steps identifying the culprit is nigh on impossible, do bear in mind that some custom roms are just less stable than stock.

Wow, that is poor. You aren't having this problem with stock OS?
What's the proper way to dirty flash? I used to be able to dirty flash on my OnePlus One by just flashing the ROM and Gapps and it'll boot right away. But with the 5T, half the time this method doesn't work anymore and I get stuck on the splash screen. I don't use passwords or pins so there should be no encryption, but even when I flash no-verity.zip, my phone still gets stuck on the splash screen.

Don't wipe Dalvik / ART cache, you will have problems. Factory Reset will I usually make it boot again. If you do a clean flash boot once before installing things like Magisk.
Wipe cache, Flash ROM, Gapps, Kernel if you run a custom ROM.
Make sure you are not using the official TWRP, either codeworkx or blu_spark (eng.stk). Having. a password or pin is NOT a problem.

Factory Reset and even wipe data doesn't boot. Only way I got it to boot was to wipe internal storage. It would however flash stock OxygenOS fine though. It's just every time I tried to dirty flash or even clean flash Havoc OS without wiping internal storage I'd get issues it seems.

I would ask in the Havoc OS thread then. That would seem out of the ordinary. For Lineage most people dirty flash every week. I clean flash every so often, but I basically never clean flash my wife or sons phone, no issues. So these issue might be isolated to the ROM you are trying to run.
Not to mention wiping internal storage all the time would be very annoying...

I've asked in the Havoc OS thread but the instructions to clean and dirty flash are the same as when I first played with custom ROMs back in the Samsung Galaxy S days. Wipe system, wipe data, wipe the two caches, etc etc.
If you're using a Substratum theme, make sure to disable all overlays before flashing.
Sorry for digging this post, but with android 10 there is no way to decrypt the data partition.
So how do you dirty flash android 10 "properly" ?
