FrnZ a noob here
My Qus IS that i want to upgrade my current rom
as a example i have an GINGERDX V021 installed in my W8
and i want to upgrade it to V022 without the full wipe
i mean my msgs,apps,etc must not be removed in upgrading...
If you just update the rom form cwm or xrecovery the data in your system won't be affected. It won't erase your apps sms calls etc. Of course if You do not do a full wipe, but I don't think so.
If You are currently in GDX and want to upgrade for a newer version there won't be data loss. If you are concerned just do a backup from cwm or xrec before upgrade (this is adviseable always). If something goes wrong there is a backup then.
Forget one little thing:
If you use a2sd or sd-ext trhere could be problems, the update must use the same method.

Thanks bro
for every ur reply i will press THANKS
n just a one more qus ..
WHAT can be happen with app2sd n if sumthing wrong happen what should i DO ?
There wouldn't be any problem with app2sd. It will only happen if you did something wrong. I first used GingerDX on v018. Then to 19, to 20, to 21, to 22. No problem with that at all.
Hit the THANKS button if I helped!!

Let's say i have gignerDX5 installed and want to update to v6. Do I have to backup all my apps and data (sms, phonebook) again?
Simple answer is no, you can just upgrade and it will keep all user data.
You should however make a backup in Xrecovery just in case something goes wrong, if all goes well then either move the backup to PC for later or just delete.
I updated from Froyobread to GingerDX and still kept my data and apps.
I make somethimes fullfactory in Xrecovery,if I switched to new room.It´s not bat to make back up in Xrec.of old room.It´s your game,wher you have back up.I use Titanum backup pro and my acount for phonebook and calendar.I do´nt need anything else for change the room.
Hi...
I have a question, and I didn't wanna create new thread, cuz its related to title
When I flash a new rom, its recommended to do a Full Wipe... Do I have to do that before or after flashing a Rom?
You don't need to do a full wipe when you update GingerDX. Just install it and reboot. I didn't have any bugs by not making a full wipe.

If you're coming from 2.1 to DX do a wipe, I tried first time yesterday installing rom and got stuck on cyanogen mod boot screen. Did a wipe, reinstaled and worked.
So do wipe if coming from other rom
Dear All,
please guide me to update my X8 having Gingerdx v022 to v025 without loosing applications installed. Does doing full wipe delete my data and application ? Also how to update CWM with the update ?
I updated from 22 to 25 without a full wipe. went fine and phone is faster and more responsive.. I dont have that many apps installed though. Just boot to CWM and install zip from location. reboot and you're away.
If you do hit problems just go back into to CWM and do a full wipe..
You need full reinstall , gdx v22 is cm7.1 and the v25 is cm7.2......

Full wipe is recomended because of different ROM bases. (CM7.1 and CM7.2)

To answer your question:
You can always use Titanium Back-up from the market to back up all user apps and data stored with them.
When you upgrade from v22 to v25, as Adrian said, it's a different version of CM, therefor, one must full wipe for better results. No one said it wouldn't work well without wiping, but it's just better to do it.
After installing and wiping, simply download titanium back up again, and restore your back-ups...that's how i do it.
Hope this helps...
Hello guys
I'm new here and in the endless world of Android, so please forgive me if you think that my question is stupid. I've already tried to find a solution inside the forum but there is always some part that I can't really understand..
You've said that v025 has cm7.2. Does this mean that if I want to install this version I need to first install cm7.2? Or is it included with the gingerdx v025 and I just have to do the things that you've already explained?
Besides, is there anything else to do before I install the zip file?
It's the third time that I block my phone and miraculously restore it to the v022, so I'd prefer not to make another big mistake..
Hope my English is good, and thank you all

Yeah welcome and for your question have you tried using the search button and reading the rom thread? Not only did you revive an old useless thread, you also asked a very simple question.
I'm sorry for being hard but this is better then giving you answers and making you think you can be lazy and can ignore searching and reading.

@madamemim: it's simple.
1. make a nandroid backup to be safe.
2. install cwm
3. dl the gdx (for stock) version you want save it on your sdcard
4. reboot to cmw
5. full wipe, clear cache, dalvik, etc.
6. flash your new rom
i'm assuming you know how to use cwm since you already flashed a custom rom.

i have searched for 2 hours before asking
is there any difference between 4.0.4 official roms and if there is what is the best one i tried LRG open germany but my note freeze a lot on it
your note freeze cause of installation route you followed.
they are different cause of regionalization stuff. Knoone knows exactly what it means, cause Samsung has no external changelog

yes, you have not followed correct method of installation. Flash a GB rom via pc odin, root it, do 3 wipes in recovery and then go ahead with new plans. Its a full proof method.
Each new release of Samsung rom is first covered here in this section...just search . Readers are eager to flash and announce the changes they see...like new keyboard look ( LR6), sim lock ( LRk), signature unlock, video popup ( LRG ), new root method etc etc, just read those threads.
thx for your help i have installed gb and flashed through mobile odin i now have cm9 on my note which is fine no freezes but everything that makes the note special is gone before that i had LRG but too many freezes i think the reason is too much apps i have about 500 because this is my first android device and i like to know everything about it
i use go backup for restoring the apps each time i dont know if this is the problem

500 ??? :angel: Feeling like I will have the whole world in my note if I would follow you. I have only 210 applications including system lol
Do not restore backups unless you know what your doing.. The best software for restoring apps its titanium backup and you gotta activate the unknown sources option.. Also you gotta create a filter in order to only Backup your apps and data not system apps or data..

Dr Ketan has written a very guide on how to back up and restore. OP, plz check his signature.
you are talking about this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837984
i actually don't use nandroid backup so i don't trigger the brick bug
and i dont like titanium backup because as i said i have about 500 app and using titanium i have to press install and done for each one
gobackup is much easier to use and more simple and i can save everything including sms, wireless passes, call log
and i use nova launcher so all my homescreens and ui is backup
if you would like to use gobackup do not install the latest version it keeps giving force close

well cm9 says in first post dont restore...
Go to recovery, clean with format system, data and sdcard on safe kernel recovery, better take out external so you dont wipe that.
wipe cache and dalvik
then instal cm9.
dont use backup for recovering apps cause: first post says so
and because different version roms use different data structures, you are bound to run into errors
because just because.

I have the rooted ROM (4.1.1 LJL) from Tyxerakias.
i want to install BenzROM v4, which is wipe now.
If i have understood correctly, in order to restore my apps+data as they were, i must use Titanium Backup, right?
Can i do sth else so i can restore the settings easier?
My phone is COA, i assume i can install BenzROM , uh?
If u are on Romania rom yes u can install Benzrom v4.

You can also backup your data via TWRP or CWM recovery. I prefer TWRP cause it's easier for me.
I guess your ROM is already rooted, right?
It would be helpful if you make the 4.1 non-wipe,
but how can this cause problems with some apps?

I just installed 4.1 nowipe .
At first no problem, but as i was placing apps in the first screens ,
suddenly the orientation of the apps at the bottom line changed to vertical.
After i restarted the device , the changes i have made were not saved.
Tried again some changes and after restart they were not saved as well.
What's happening?
Hi,
I am currently running C-RoM Mix v20 on my GTI9000, but v22 has already been released, so I am now wondering how I should go about updating.
If I download the new version and install it to my phone, will I have to reset and clear everything first, or can I just run it over the old version and keep all my installed apps and settings? Do I have to backup everything (for example with Titanium) and restore it manually after installing the new version?
And what is the best Kernel to use with this rom? I am currently using Semaphore (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786220).
Backup all your user apps using TB or equivalent. A nandroid backup of your existing Rom is also recommended (if you like).
You can dirty flash the Rom but if you experienced FCs after flashing, you must reflash the Rom with full wipe + format system.
Mackay is one of the recommended kernels for installation.

for better performance, use default kernel given, dev isnt that stupid to give his end user something bad at least.
to make any inconvenience occur, wiping all cache n resetting is da best thing, if ur juz wanna update or switching to any 4.x.x, backup any app u wanted with titanium backup and juz restore it with data. there will be no problem
ok, thanks for your replies, backing up it is then
