Hi guys,
just a quick question:
I'm on dev rom and I have flashed twrp and rooted my phone.
I wanna try out some AOSP ROMs and the Xiaomi.eu for RN5p.
Do I have to do anything else except wipe everything (except data) and flash rom/gapps?
Only reason doing this is that since I flashed twrp/rooted, my phone has some bugs.
I wanna know if it's ROM related or something else.
Thanks.
bump.
If you have latest ARB (version 4) you shouldn't have any problem.

Hi i just wanted to know the easiest way to install a new rom on my defy. I have cm7 currently installed. Let me get this straight everytime you want to install a new rom you have to use rsd lite you cant just install zip from sd card through recovery? seems like a long process not really worth going through just to test a few roms? is this right or is there an easier way? thanks
If the base OS required is the same (meaning the new ROM works on the same kernel) then you can simply switch ROM's via Custom Recovery (CWM), but you have to wipe data and cache to avoid bootloops or other unexpected errors. If anything goes wrong and you mess up the bootmenu or the CWM module then you must flash the SBF again. I've successfully switched between CM7 and MIUI without flashing again the Froyo CEE.
Thanks that clears up a little bit, but how do i know if a rom uses the same kernel?

You welcome! Generally the ROM dev's mentions which base ROM should be used, if not you always can ask or read others comments, if any.
Ok cool thanks im with it now. Do u know which rom cm7 rc 1 is based on?

If I'm not wrong the latest nightly builds are based on Froyo CEE or SEA. If you install RC1v2 or one nightly with BOOTXXX on it then it will upgrade also your kernel so you don't have to worry. See more details on CM7 topic.
Hello friends,
I'm a happy touchwiz user running DN3 v3 with mj5 bootloader (knox free). All is well.
But i want to try new AOSP 4.4 builds like PARANOIDANDROID, PAC, omni etc. Is it possible to do that like from latest knox free bootloader and tw4.3 TO aosp?
Has anybody tried this? please suggest what procedure should i follow.
thanks

Hey,
You will love AOSP! I have tried CM11 and OMNI, and both were smooth and stable. You will have a much faster phone but you will use all the Samsung apps, including the S-Pen tricks. Your S-pen will still work though.
My advice? Well:
1. Make a Nandroid Backup (using your custom recovery). You might wanna get back to your current ROM if anything goes south or you just don't like AOSP.
2. Update your custom recovery. Actually I would suggest you do this even if you don't flash any AOSP 4.4 ROMs. I recommend TWRP 2.6.3.x.
3. Make a full wipe before installing anything. Full wipe means everything but your SD cards (internal and external). Though, I would recommend to also wipe your internal SD card, after you back up your stuff (watch out not to lose your nandroid backups that might be on your internal SD).
4. Flash the ROM you choose and be very careful to read the flashing instructions. You'll feel like an a$$hole if you ask for help on the ROMs thread and find out that you missed some step because you didn't read the OP carefully.
5. Usually you'll have to flash other fixes/addons for everything to work. Look for them in the OP, if it's needed or recommended, it will be listed there.
I hope that helps! Come back if you have trouble.
flash AOSP
Just flash as usual but remember you need to read the instruction carefully for each aosp rom forum.
1. you need to use cwm 6.0.3.7 version onward or TWRP 2.6.1.0 ( can search through xda forum)
2. Do full wipe including System, Data, Cache, Dalvik, Android Secure, and Preload.
3. Flash the aosp rom you prefer
4. Flash the gapps
5. reboots (It might take some time for first time)
Ok thanks guys, I'll try it today.

Hello there, I am using the Find 7a with a TWRP recovery flashed. However, I cannot seemed to flash any type of ROM. When I install the custom ROM which is the CM12, the recovery seems to restart and the custom ROM is not flashed. Can anybody help me since I already wipe everything in my device. I'm okay to lose any data from the phone.
p/s I also have a backup using the twrp but still cannot managed to flash the backup
Have you tried a different rom? Nameless and omnirom have unified storage, marshmallow and are pretty well asop. Try them

Hi, did you solved your problem?
If it were me, I would try to redownload & reflash twrp or changing it with a newer version.
Maybe that will fix the problem. Cheers!
I'm currently running my OP3 on Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 (MM 6.01), the phone has the latest version of TWRP and I've flashed other ROMs in the past without any issue
RR has proven to be quite unstable for me, the system UI keeps crashing, which renders the phone unusable until after a reboot so I wanted to flash Freedom OS as that worked quite well for me previously. When I tried to flash the ROM in TWRP the ROM seemed to flash successfully but when I rebooted, only the boot logo showed and then the screen went black and the phone refused to respond at all for about two hours, after that exactly the same thing happened. I managed to boot into recovery and tried flashing a different ROM but the result was the same every time, the only way to get the phone to work normally was to flash RR again/restore from a Nandroid backup, either way, the result is the same, I'm stuck on an unstable ROM and I don't know why, the last time I flashed these ROMs they worked fine, I followed all of the instructions for flashing said ROMs to the letter, I have the latest version of TWRP, etc.
Seems TWRP can't mount /system, in TWRP under "mount", system is unchecked, I checked it and tried again but found that whenever I rebooted the phone or attempted to flash a new ROM, it would always uncheck itself and flashing the ROM would fail, however strangely flashing the same version of RR was always successful. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
I would suggest you clean flash OOS first before going to Freedom.
I think RR is based on Lineage OS while Freedom is based on stock OOS.

RR is based on CM. I'm just scared to flash OOS in case it goes wrong because stock OOS will overwrite TWRP with its stock recovery and then I'll be screwed because I'll have no way to restore from a backup if it goes wrong

Yeah I thought it seemed a little out of place but I don't know where to post it? Is there a general questions forum?

I don't think that there is a risk in flashing stock OOS. But if the custom recovery is overwritten then flash it back, your backup files are stored in your internal memory and unless you wipe it you are safe.

Even when I tried flashing other CM based ROMs, including ones I'd flashed before, it failed, only flashing RR actually worked. I don't know why this is the case but I'm not sure flashing OOS without knowing what the issue is, is the solution because if I lose TWRP there's no telling whether I'll be able to flash it back in fastboot if the phone isn't working properly

I once flashed RR based on android 7.1.1 and because I did not like it very much I wanted to go back to Freedom but at that time it was based on android 7.0.1 thus I was unable to boot. Maybe you are facing the same issue. But in my case I hardbricked my device and used the unbricking tool from OP3 forum.
If you download the latest OOS zip file you can flash it through TWRP and you won't lose you custom recovery.

All of the ROMs I tried with were android 6.0.1, I'm avoiding touching android 7 because I'm not a fan
The strange thing is that in TWRP under "mount", system is unchecked and it won't stay checked when I reboot or try to flash something and then the flash fails. Strangely however, I can flash RR afresh and it will work but nothing else works
Therefore I don't think OOS would work either
Hi,
I have a Pixel 3xl rooted and running with Havoc Rom.
if I want to switch from a custom rom to another custom rom, how can I do that?
Do I have to install stock rom and erase data before the new custom rom or can I just install the new custom rom above to previous one?
Thank you.

Install stock factory image to both slots with -w intact in the flash-all batch, and then start with the instructions of the ROM you want to install.

I would personally back up anything I wanted then flash the new rom boot.img and try to dirty flash it. If it got messed up then I would do as above. I am still crazy though and 9/10 you need a wipe when switching.

I get it. I hate clean flashing more than anything, but pretty much no custom ROMs allow for dirty installs except for over the same ROM these days. Even over the same doesn't always work well especially if the build was dirty. Not worth the extra effort trying to figure out and fix what broke on a cross-rom dirty flash, IMO.

True, but lots of people have extra time nowadays. I would say just always make sure you back up somehow before any switch. Be ready to wipe your device clean.
Thank you for your replys.
I'm not an english speaking personn, so if i understand:
The normal way to switch two customs roms is to "transit" by the stock rom and clear all data and then install rhe new custom rom.
The other way, would be dirty flash the new custom rom above the previous custom rom (with loss data possible so a bachup is needed).
