Question Backing up before flashing a new rom? - Google Pixel 6 Pro

What is everyone using these days to backup before flashing new custom ROMs? I'm the type that always likes to try different custom ROMs. I'm currently using Swift Backup, but I'm not sure if this is the best/fastest way to do so. Always open to new suggestions.
Thanks!
Edit: Stumbled upon this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...tom-rom-migration-tool.3862763/#post-78060823
Looks promising, tested with 1 app, and no issues. Will update next time I switch ROMS.

Hi,
Try NeoBackup, works well.

[Q] Please HELP, GSM Galaxy Nexus no signal, any SIM

Hello all,
It's been a week flashing ROMs, Radios, Kernels, many combinations and I can't get my Galaxy Nexus to work well. It's picking up AT&T signal sometimes, actually PERFECT reception near home, but then drops 100%
The SIM gets recognized, as the APN settings are correct.
The model I have is the i9250, Engineering model
Thank you for your help, I'm very frustrated

Take a look at my thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487239 and read through and try the combinations recommended. I PERSONALLY recommend the FuGuMod Kernel as it fixed my issues. See my signature for current set up. I use the UGKL1 Radio as well.
Please post your results in that thread as well as here.
Go back to stock 4.0.2 This should work, it normally does... Download it: Here...
It is a zip file, which contains the stock GNex ROM, everything should be back to normal

This may work as well but I have a feeling the OP is trying to use an AOSP 4.0.3+ ROM.
OP - Read my thread and give it a try. It has helped a few like you (INCLUDING MYSELF). What do you have to lose?

Try my exact setup and see what happens...
-FoxHound v1.0 ROM
-FuGuMod 4.0.3 Kernel
-UGKL1 Radio
Give it a try. This set up WORKS for me and the FoxHound ROM is quite nice as well.

Really? Im sorry to hear that. There are some other combos listed there in my thread that have worked for others as well. Maybe try those...
I wish you good luck my friend...
got into stock 4.0.2, unrooted again. NOTHING, maybe antenna issues?
I just had your same problem. I tried any rom and stock flash, but NOTHING.
Then I tried doing "Fix permissions" in CWM recovery and after that PROBLEM SOLVED!
I imagine it's too late for you but maybe this solution could help in future

[Q] New Poster

Hi all, my name is Mike and this my first post. I have recently rooted my S3 with Odin and CFA. I would like to choose a ROM and try out different themes, but don't really know where to start. Do you have to install a ROM to choose different themes? Sorry for the noob questions. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to XDA my friend!! Alright first off themes and ROMs are two completely different things. Themes are just skins you can swap in and out on your phone without changing any software. ROMs replace phone software with newer versions. If you would like to get a theme I suggest downloading this app called Themer by MyColorScreen. For ROMs you will need a custom recovery like ClockworkMod or TWRP. I am currently using CWM (ClockworkMod). Using the CWM recovery you can "flash" roms (basically installing them). I am currently running 4.4 QuantumROM by PwnCakes. It is beautiful!! If you would like to theme go with the Themer app but if you wanna go further than just reply here!!

If you want to start out with themes go to the Play Store and ckeck out Colbalt themes by dustinb. They come in many colors for cm 9 & 10. I also liked killer blue, has nice graphics. If you are going to flash roms use the CWM recovery. Not as pretty as TWP but TWP is not compatable with 4.4. Also i am currenty favor the PAC man rom. Nice, fast and stable. It is a 4.3 rom. I have tried a few 4.4 roms but a little unstable for a daily driver. Also.if you start with the PAC rom it is a hybrid and has several varieties built in and has tons of options to play with.
Thank you both for the help. I will probably just start out with different themes until I understand ROMs a little more. :good:
Rooted Need to get CWM
Hi everyone,
Complete Noob here. Just rooted my I747-M AFTER getting 4.3 OTA using Mr. Robinson's root method! Don't know what to do after this step.
How do I get CWM? Can I flash it through Odin?
Also is it possible for me to get CM 11? I really don't like the Samsung OS.
Thank you so much in advance,

Hey there, first off you are on 4.3 OTA. So if anything goes wrong you may not be able to revert back to stock, it comes down to your bootloaders. Also go on over and check out QuantumRom by PwnCakes. It is 4.4 and is just beautiful. To get CWM go to the play store and download the cwm recovery app.
Thanks for the Response

Hey,
Thanks for replying. So I can't get the Recovery App because it does not support my phone (AT&T). So I ended up using terminal and the .img file to get CWM onto my phone. So is it possible to get CM 10.2 then?
Will a release come out later allowing me to revert to stock? In the meantime can you walk me through CM?
Thanks so much from this hopeless noob.
First off, welcome to XDA. Like everyone else has said, Quantum is the way to go. For good themes, Mianogen and Gem Flat are my favorite. There's a free version of Mianogen and a paid, and for Gem Flat, it's $1.88, but well worth it. If you wanna give it a shot, custom icon packs are also really nice. Mianogen comes with its own icons, but hands down, Nox by Kovdev is the best with 1000s of really nice icons.

The app for CWM is called ROM Manager, for now, I don't know about the 4.3 update since I've been on Quantum for a few months. What would you like to know about CM? Its the easiest ROM to learn to use and is close to vanilla, while still being useful.

This post makes absolutely no sense. First you mention themes for a custom rom, which the op and question at hand obviously have no experience with. Secondly blindly stating that TWRP doesn't work with 4.4 is beyond ridiculous seeing as I just flashed Beanstalk 4.4 today just fine with TWRP 2.6.1.1. It is wonderful that you are trying to help someone with a problem or question, but i makes me sick when people casually throw out advice without any regard to the issue at hand or the ramifications of their words.

I Somewhat agree, IIRC, TWRP became compatible with 4.4 about a week or so after 4.4's release, right? As choosing one or the other, I've never even tried TWRP, but I've never had any issues with CWM, so I'm happy. And as for the ROM, I think the simpler it is, the easier it is to get used to. Sometimes having hundreds of customizations can be a bit overwhelming.

Personally i was using CWM recovery when it was the only option besides stock, and it always did a fine job at what it was intended to do. In the last year or so i started using TWRP solely for the purpose of its free touch based UI. Yes you can find CWM touch on the net for free, but they are asking for payment for it so i opted out. Both work great at what they do, and although one or the other may lag a bit from time to time keeping up with changes in the android world, as fast as things move these hiccups are to be expected.

Any Working roms

So i am coming to hate this phone's lack of mods and roms
are any of the international roms compatible with this device that anyone has found?

Good to know. I hadn't gotten in this forum until today. I decided to purchase the S6 because I could get it at a steal, and now is a great time to sell my S5, but I was having buyers remorse because of the lack of development.
I can't complain because I'm lazy and don't want to learn to do it myself.

Took The Plunge
Installed Sac's ROM through Flashfire and found myself wondering why I waited. Got everything set up as I wanted without any problems. Do remember to flash the Ktoonsez kernel after the ROM.
I don't care about Samsung Pay and I doubt that I ever will, so I installed TWRP right after. This felt so good, I see other ROMs in my future especially since sac23 says an update is coming soon. I feel like it is my phone again.
I also may try out this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...ebloated-rom-samsuing-galaxy-s6-edge-t3126661
@JoeFCaputo113 you really should think about doing this.

Using FlashFire (which I know that you have!):
Step 1: Choose Backup if you want. Then let that do its thing.
Step 2: After back, choose Wipe and accept defaults.
Step 3: Select the two zips, ROM and Kernel.
Step 4: Let her rip!
Different ROM, but this video helped me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJSP8XsET8o

xPosed and Cataclysm ROM

Hi all,
I'm trying to install Xposed on cataclysm from. I flash the zip file, but after optimization of applications I have a force close of the UI system app. Then I need to uninstall the framework in order to restore the system. Anyone have some suggestions? Any other ROM like cataclysm with Xposed already in?
Thanks all
I know it's not an answer to your question, but I'd advise against using a ROM that's been discontinued half a year ago. Though Cataclysm was a great ROM i moved on to Pure Nexus myself. Works great with Xposed.

You're doing something wrong.
Are you using the correct Xposed? Version 86? X64?
Are you on the latest Pure Nexus and latest Vendor img?
Are you using latest SU? 2.76 ?
If you're saying you are having bootloops with Cataclysm, I and everyone else will not help you. That ROM is dead, it cannot be compatible with anything current.

Don't know, haven't used that feature ever on any ROM.
I think Gravitybox has it though? not sure.
Anyway, yeah, just use a different one, that is currently supported. Otherwise it's impossible to pin-point a ROM-SuperSu conflict.

I'm using a combination, which you can see in my signature and it works perfectly.

Some people reported bootloops when flashing in the wrong order. If you clean flash pure Nexus and stick to the flashing instruction there should not be a problem.
