Hello,
I am itching to install CyanogenMod on my Nexus One, but I am holding out for 6.1 so that I can take advantage of A2SD functionality, since from what I've gathered it would make me have to totally wipe my phone twice (initially to install to 6.0 and then again once 6.1 comes out).
Is this just insanity? Will I need to wipe once the 6.1 update comes out, or will CyanogenMod 6.0 gracefully upgrade to 6.1 without forcing me to wipe again?
-You guys rock! Thanks for your help.
since you would be going from cyanogen to cyanogen you would not need to do another wipe only unless otherwise stated. if you were going from cyanogen to another developers rom then you would need to wipe.
hope this helps.

Right now I'm running Cyanogen's 5.0.8 ROM. When flashing to SuperBad CM5 V.1.7 (which is based on CM 5.0.8) do I still need to wipe? If so do I wipe data/factory settings, battery stats, delvik, ext.? I have a theme called Slide Blue (which is made for 5.0.8), will that work as well or is there even a need for it? And finally when I go to Android Spin to look at this ROM to download, it only gives me one link to download, so does that ROM also contain Google Apps? I have only flashed one ROM and Im still a noob in the learning process.

best road to take - do a nandroid backup and then try it without a wipe
sometimes trial and error is the best way to find these things out
and next time, please post questions in the questions and answers section
Thanks for replying. I did a nandroid backup and wiped. Flashed SuperBad and all is well! I'm finding out that the best way to learn is to try. Also I did post this same question in Q&A and I recieved little to none feedback. That's why I tried it here to. All in all, thanks to you and everyone else that is willing to help us noobs out. We all started from scratch at some point.

I have a Nexus for a couple of months, last week I downloaded the Universal Androot to root my phone and works great now I have more apps to use, now I want install the last Cyanogen rom to shoot 720p video. I also downloaded ROM Manager from the market but I don't know what to do.
My question are: What I have to do next? There's a application to shot 720p video without change the ROM?
Thanks

No, that's a rom level change.
Use ROM manager, download cyan ROM. It will ask you to backup first, do that so you can return to your phone as it is now just in case. Then let it do its thing and enjoy the new ROM.
At that point when you're running cyan, read thru all the threads in development section, and themes, and get to work flashing away
Also click to download Google Apps too. Click to wipe and back up and Rom Manager takes care of the rest. CM6 RC3 it awesome, have fun.
Hi everyone
I did all you told me to do and now I have my Nexus with Cyanogen 6.0 running thanks for the help.

Enjoy your awesome Nexus One
Haven't tried CM's final release yet but I'm sure looking forward to it!
Hey guys I'm a noob and sprint decided to give me a hero do to my defective noment I took it over the intercept because of the support here on XDA and I've been lookin around and I like but my question remains what's the best rom for the cdma hero that will still allow the flasplayer to work any ideas or ways to keep makin it work. THANX
Unfortunately, full flash support can not be achieved. There's a light version out there, but I don't know how well it works.

I believe Nfinite's Roms have Flash Lite, and then using a browser like Skyfire gives additional flash support as it deals with it server side.
Use Nfinites rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849024 there and then do a search for Zen's Any Kernal with no Perflock. It makes it an extremely snappy Sense Rom. Only Sense has the Flash working, none of the AOSP roms do I believe.
Only downside is Nfinite is on Hiatus due to some personal stuff but he has popped back in and said he isn't gone, just dealing with it and plans to update again soon.
my replyo
ok thanx so fo example even I port the flash light apk (htc flash player) can I at least use that on the aosp rom or the cm 6 or does they need the sense to even aollow it to work ? I just want to be ready to root asap when the hero arrives tomorow
You cannot use those functions in an AOSP rom, has to be with sense.
Ok one last thing before I do this once I get my recovery going and I'm rooted of course I do a data wipe then apply a zip (rom) file correct and if I want to try other roms repeat the proscces. Right just want to make sure. That's how I would do it on my moment

Yes you would go to recovery, do a factory reset, wipe Dalvik, Cache, etc and then you can flash the new zip for the rom you wish to try.
Most roms will have a sort of guide or instructions, some have things specific to the rom being flashed, so make sure and read the full post, and maybe browse the thread for tidbits that users have had to say about the rom.

I'm looking for a more stable ROM for my G1. I've been running it on the Chromatic Dream for too long, I want something that can make it a daily user again without lagging/much lagging and without draining the battery. Thx in Advance.

well those are some pretty high demands coming from a junior member... j/k
lol im not going to say 1 rom is better than another because it depends what you like in a rom, but to be straight forward with it... Froyo is the way to go, there are many different kinds... stock froyo, themed froyo, even sense froyo!! but i believe the most stable/un-complained about rom would be Froyo by laszlo... hands down this rom is just... almost perfect, so try that and other froyo roms till your happy
happy flashing and good luck!!
Thx for the intel. I downloaded the ROM by Laszlo this morn; I'm hoping to have it flashed on my G1 this weekend. And again Thx.

I also wanted to know since my G1 is already rooted do I have to flash another custom recovery and re-do adb. Couldn't I just load the new custom ROM on the root of my SDCard and flash it?

Where can I find laszlo's latest rom? The only one I could find was discontinued in march.
Sent from my Dream/Sapphire using XDA App
yeah the sad truth about laszlo's rom is it was discontinued, but is still the most stable... lol and yes you can just put a rom on root of sd and flash to your device... but be sure to wipe data

As long as you do a full wipe via recovery first, that's the preferred way of installing new ROMs...
This phone must have over 100 roms in total, you should be able to pick one from that batch...

Thank you. This ROM is much more stable and faster then the gingerbread rom I was using.

Dose Laszlo have a Gingerbread G1/Magic ROM?
no not that i know of...
Hey guys and gals,
Noob here, only installed 1 or 2 ROM's in the past, but I would now like a hand deciding on a suitable ROM for my needs on my Galaxy Tab P1000 (UK/European)
I would like a ROM that is nice and responsive, has good battery life and is fairly customisable, and I guess most come already rooted? I would prefer it to be ICS or JB too I have looked about and seen a few CM10 ones, some MIUI ones and various others but I am lost for choice, I have no idea what ones are best.
I want everything to work (all wireless connections, camera etc...) don't mind things like auto brightness or similar as that isn't major. The main reason for wanting to change from the stock gingerbread is because I find it unresponsive and boring.
Sorry if this is in the wrong section, thought Q&A was my best bet.
Thanks,
Cam.
Actually your best bet is to try them out yourself. All criteria are subjective.

Ok matey, will have a play!

Hey again,
Quick question,
For the MIUI v4 ICS ROM, which I like the look of alot, it needs a "restock" and install Overcome or a CM9 guide to be followed. (ROM link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613842 )
However, do I still need to do this as I haven't already installed any custom ROM? If I do can you give me a feint idea how I can approach it? Or can I just wipe cache/data etc.. and install the ROM?
Sorry if I am being a pain, not had to do any of this before.
Thanks,
Cam.
Many has your problem.
The thing is, newer ( well, post April 2012) ROM use new MTD layout, which need you to come from stock, or from same layout.
If your custom ROM were GB, no issue. They are stock BML partition, which the new rom can convert upon install.
If it were cm9 or 10, watch the mtd layout. The installer isn't made to convert older mtd to new mtd, so need restock.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Ok so as I have no custom ROM at all I need to restock to new layout. No problem, just wanted to know if it was necessary for me to do it.
Thanks for your help,
Cam.

Think I have got it, can someone please confirm my steps to make sure I am doing it right?
1. Flash latest CWM recovery using Odin
2. Make Nandroid backup using CWM
3. Flash GB-stock-safe, then flash Overcome kernel 4.0.0.tar using Odin for both (do I do these separately or is there a way to flash them together?)
4. Place MIUI v4 ROM and GApps etc.. on Tab's SD card.
5. Boot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe data and flash ROM.
6. Flash GApps and patch's etc...
7. Reboot into ROM
If it doesn't reboot into MIUI I need to reflash the ROM as the first flash converted my Tab to MTD? Is that correct?
Hopefully I have got it,
Thanks in advance,
Cam
Actually, am I right in saying CWM isn't fully supported on P1000? What recovery should I use?
Sorry for all the questions again,
Cam.
Cwm is contained in kernel.
If you are willing to forgo backup, must start with GB stock safe v5
Then overcome kernel.
By then you have a cwm recovery.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Got it all installed/flashed last night. Went all ok and I worked out that the kernel included overcome cwm after reading a guide from the link in your Sig.
I suppose its good that I love the ROM too
Thanks for the help, appreciate it.
