Hello everyone. I just bought my phone 3 months ago, and i'm little tired of stock rom, because of some lag and bugs it have. So i decided to flash some CM7. Really don't know anything about flashing and rooting. Was reading some threads on this forum, but there's so many information that at the end decided to create my own thread. Hope someone will have a little bit of time and reply it.
My phone info: (it's not rooted, just stock version out of the box)
Model: LG-P990
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: 1035.21_20110725 (what is that?)
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: GRJ22
LGE Version: LGP990-V20a
1. So first of all i would like to make a backup, so if something went wrong i could recovery my phone. Maybe you could suggest some not very difficult tool for that.
2. What should i do next, wipe, root, flash, kernel rewrite? Maybe someone could link me or write how to do it step by step.
3. Which rom and kernel to use? What are difference between them (kernels and roms)? I prefer battery life > bugs > speed > customization.
P.s. I really don't know much about doing what i just wrote, please don't be mad Thank you for your help.
First of all you should root your device, this is generally the first thing to do. I believe I used super one click for this, here is a guide for doing so: http://androidadvices.com/how-to-root-lg-optimus-2x-p990-tutorial/ also there are some guides here around on xda where you will be able to follow a step by step tutorial for rooting
For easy backup I would recommend Titanium backup. Search for it on the market it will show up there furthermore you should always backup your phone through clockwork mod recovery. Clockwork mod is an app you install after rooting and you access recovery by flashing recovery and then booting into it. It is also from here you will be "flashing" your custom rom of choice
So in a step by step tutorial here's what to do:
1. Rooting
plenty of guides are found on this lg optimus 2x forum with links and guides as for how to root your phone. Afterwards you should check if it was done properly, you can do this with root checker simply download it from the market and check it
2. Downloading your custom rom:
Next step is to download your custom rom and throw it onto your phones SD-card.
You can choose anything you like but I would recommend the build in my sig link is here
now for kernels, you don't really need any :b you will be perfectly fine with whatever you already have here But if you do want to flash a custom kernel aswell it is virtually the same as flashing a custom rom
3. Make a backup of your phones apps and contacts:
Making backups is really easy, just download titanium backup from the market to backup your apps and backup your contacts through the phones built in adress book.
4. Boot your phone into recovery:
This is how it looks:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
First of all, install rom manager this is an app found in the market just search for it and it will be there. Next use the app to flash clockworkmod recovery (yes thats the top button in the app :b). Then when this is done reboot into recovery. When here your phones screen will not be used to navigate, instead use your volume rockers to navigate and the power button to select.
When here you should make a nand-backup of your phone, this is basically a backup of everything on your phone and it can be used to restore your phone should anything go wrong here
This is somewhat like what your recovery would look like:
From here choose "backup/restore" and here choose backup. Now your phone will make a backup
Also before flashin you will have to choose both of the following options:
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Wipe cache
5. Flash your rom (and custom kernel):
Now, finally, you will see some improvements :b Still navigating ClockworkMod recovery choose install zip from sd card, then find your rom and choose it. Now the flashing begins and your phone will do this for some time, once done reboot your phone and you're done!
GL and HF, i hope this helped you
1. First you need to root your phone. Rooting your phone won't erase your data. Use this guide to root your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953182
This method works flawlessly and is really easy!
After rooting, you can check if it worked, by looking for the Superuser app in your app drawer, or download the root checker app and check for yourself.
Also, after you rooted your phone, you need to install the following apps: Rom Manager and Titanium Backup. With Titanium Backup, you can backup all your apps and restore them. Consider buying this app, because it's really worth the extra money. Use any SMS/Contacts backup app to backup your contacts. (Don't forget to grant Titanium Backup Superuser access)
Afterwards, you open Rom Manager (again give this app also superuser access) and select the option flash recovery. Clockworkmod recovery mode is just a system which allows you to flash custom roms and kernels. Make sure you flash the O2X recovery and not the G2X, because you have a P990. Clockworkmod Recovery version 5.0.2.0 is good enough. You can enter recovery mode with ROM Manager or reboot into it. When your phone is off, you can boot into recovery manually by holding the power and volume down button until you see the second LG bootscreen with the blueish background.
2. First you need to download the following things and put them on your SD card:
- Any ROM (Cyanogenmod 7 or 9)
- Any kernel (Cyanogenmod Kernel for CM7 or CM9)
- Google Apps (for Gingerbread or Ice cream sandwich)
Afterwards, boot into recovery mode. You can navigate through the menus with the volume buttons and the power button. Also I would recommend you to make a backup of your current LG rom in recovery mode. (Backup/Restore - Backup - Yes) Keep this backup if you ever need to return your phone to stock in order to send it to LG.
In recovery mode choose the option:
- wipe data/factory reset
This option won't erase your root, only your current ROM and apps (but you should have made a backup by then)
After this is done, choose the option:
- wipe cache
This option is necessary in order to flash a rom
Then select the following option:
- install zip from sdcard
Browse through your sdcard and first install the rom. After this is done, install another zip and install the Google Apps package. This package includes the Android Market. Afterwards, you could install another zip, which is the kernel, but this is optional. Obviously you need to find the kernel zip and install it.
After installing all this you should be done and you should select reboot system. This will reboot your phone normally into the rom. Note that the first boot in a new rom always takes some time.
3 I would advise the combination in my signature. This combination is very smooth and fast.
Hope this helped!
Gosh this community is so helpful
Thank you so much!
No problem

You can put the rom zip file on your internal SD card. (the one of 5.5 GB) And then access it with CWM. So, yeah it's possible.

The thanks meter is a great motivator for people who like to help, so I like encouraging its use
Also... I'll probably be visiting Amsterdam (again) this summer, we should smoke one together if you're around
Adding files ICS
How can I add files to my phone while on ICS 4.0.4 (Nova HD)???
On stock gingerbread it worked but now i can't add any files. It shows internal storage and then no folders or files.

One problem though, I'm kinda under age... and I don't think my parents, nor the Dutch government would allow me smoking...
Anyway, Amsterdam is a great place to visit, so smoke some, and have fun over there!

Nope I don't think so, many people are having the same problem. What you can do is to put your sd-card in a card reader and add files through there. That's what I do anyways :b
EDIT::
Have you checked if you have the correct drivers installed? go check in the device manager and if it says that no drivers are installed (or no correct drivers, anyways) try and install them automatically. This worked for me
Umm, I'm quite new here, so I don't exactly know how it works, but shouldn't this thread (post #3 especially) be "Sticky"?
Cause when I started to root/flash my O2x this all-in-1 post could save me a lot of time.. There is quite everything you need when you know nothing about changing a rom. And if there is something missing, you know what you need to search for, right?

Yes it should, but the truth is, this process is basically the same for every android phone out there, the only difference is the rom you choose really. I'm pretty sure there is an even more detailed guide somewhere out there
Thank you for help everyone, u helped me alot.
I just installed custom kernel/rom.
Rom: temasek's UNOFFICIAL BUILD RC1-85
Kernel: [CM7/MIUI Kernel][KANG][APR02] ETaNa with Spica (c) OTF ToolKit
When i installed all this, i missed Google Play and account sync, so i downloaded some "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip" and installed with Rom Manager. I don't know why, but google play crashes very very often. Maybe i did something wrong?
And how the hell should i select ringtone from my SDcard? Because when i click Phone Ring tone theres only some main ringtones and no "select from" options.
Oh and the last one, why the hell drawer is so lagy? Because of inscripted ADW? It's very anoying.
Thanks again.

You've done something wrong when flashing temasek's kang, I get google play immediately, don't need to flash gapps and it doesn't crash, I would do a full wipe and reflash if I were you.
To select ringtones you will have a folder in your sdcard media -> audio -> ringtones. You have to put the desired ringtones in that folder.
My drawer is also laggy. Just put the apps you use in your home screens and don't use it
Hope I helped! Cheers!

Hmmm theres no such a folder called media in my sdcard. And when i create it and move mp3 file to it it doesnt appear in ringtone selection. Do i need to restart my phone when i move ringtones to that folder?
When i was flashing new rom i did that. First i made a recovery, then wiped my phone, then clicked install zip from SD card and clicked my rom file. It said that flashing was successful. Then did the same for kernel. And finally rebooted my phone. Everything went well, phone turned on, no errors .. nothing. I installed latest version of that rom, i linked it before.
It seems google play not crashing anymore, i dont know why, but it works. I didnt do anything. Other problem appeared. When i installed GAPPS, Car Home app was installed. I removed it with Titanium Backup successfully. But sometimes in my bottom bar (where clock, battery and other stuff are), it appears. When i slide that bar down it says click to close Car Home. Its very anoying. I tried to look with root explorer for that app in my phone, no clue. How the hell should i remove it? Because i cant find it anywhere. Thanks

After asking around, I determined there was some interest in a simple, mostly-stock ROM based on the official HTC Sense/Froyo v3.26.605.1 release with only essential changes made; so I decided to go ahead and create one.
ROM Details:
Based entirely off the off the the official HTC Sense/Froyo v3.26.605.1 release (pulled from signed RUU); which is being rolled out by Verizon via OTA as the final build.
Moved some stock applications to /data/app, so they can easily be removed. To be clear, these apps remain enabled but can now be optionally removed using any Android uninstaller, rather than having to do it manually. This includes: App Sharing, Adobe Flashplayer, Car Panel, Flashlight, GenieWidget, PDFViewer, Quickoffice, Teeter, My Verizon, 3G Hotspot and YouTube.
All apps placed in /data/app by the ROM will be automatically restored after a date wipe or factory reset (a special feature of this ROM). These apps can be freely uninstalled via Settings->Applications or the uninstaller of your choice. Note: They will return when the ROM is re-installed or upgraded.
Disabled applications which the majority seems to agree are bloat, unneeded or can installed from the Market. This includes: Amazon MP3, City ID, HTC Footprints/Widget, VZ Navigator, Skype. If you decide you would like to use any of these apps, the APKs are available in the "system/virtuous" directory.
Numerous customization options via ROM Manager, such as Virtuous' EZ-Customizer which allows removal of more stock apps without the use of adb or shell, status bar mods provided by pmf, Incredible Revolution theme and more.
Automatic Virtuous OTA upgrade notification and installation via ROM Manager.
Minor theme modifications to remove GPS locator icon in the status bar and add transparency to the notification pull down menu. Thanks to pardonmyfreedom (aka pmf) and aiccucs for doing the work.
Added the Busybox installer application to allow upgrades as they become available. When running the installer, make sure to select /system/xbin as the destination.
Updated Adobe Flash to the official release provided to N1 users via the Market.
Updated Google Search and Google Voice Search to the latest Market versions.
Updated Gmail 2.2.1. The default ROM includes 2.2, so this is a minor upgrade to the latest version available.
Audio fixes to correct slow playback ("devil voices") of Flash videos on certain sites.
Removed startup "Drooooooid" sound. It was annoying.
Added the bash shell for those who work in adb or ssh into their phones. Just run "bash" to use it (it is not the default shell for compatibility reasons).
Removed cdrom.iso to avoid being prompted to install Verzion/HTC hardware when the device is connected via USB.
Installation:
You must be rooted, have nand unlocked and be running a 2.x radio. Follow dadicus' guide for details on how to perform these steps.
Perform a nandroid backup of your current ROM, in case you change your mind or encounter issues.
If you are coming from another completely stock ROM (i.e. Sense 2.1 or 2.2), you may not have to wipe data. I obviously recommend wiping data (since it will eliminate any possibly bad/stale configuration), but the update script will not do so automatically during installation. Use your best judgement to determine what works best for you.
Wipes are NOT required for any upgrade to/from any 2.x version of the ROM; downgrades are a different story.
Apply the zip via Clockwork Recovery. It has not been tested with any other recovery.
Expect the first boot to take anywhere from 6-10 minutes. Subsequent reboots should be significantly quicker.
Disclaimer
As with any modification (ROM, patch, etc), you run the risk of damaging your device. While unlikely, it is important to consider this possibility before proceeding. I take no responsibility for any such damage, data loss or otherwise.
Download ROM Here
(Changelog)
Hboot Upgrade Instructions
As of Virtuous 3.2.0, hboot 0.92 is now required. This hboot shipped with the original Froyo OTA for the Incredible.
Download this file and place it at root of your sdcard.
Boot into the bootloader. There are several ways to do this. If you are already booted into Android, use Quickboot and select the Bootloader option. You can also use adb by typing "adb reboot bootloader". Or, simply power down the device. Once it is off, hold the volume down button and then press power.
Once in the bootloader, select the first option from the menu "bootloader". You should see a progress bar on the right side of the screen. If you do not, you did not perform step #1 correctly or your sdcard is not formatted FAT32.
You will then be prompted to confirm flashing boot, bootloader and recovery. Hit volume up to confirm and then reboot.
At this point hboot is upgraded. I recommend reinstalling Virtuous (either via ROM Manager or manually) just to be safe.

Thanks for this rom! I want to install footprints. I've tried with root explorer r/w on and off as well as astro. I've put the files in sytem/app, tried from disabled folder and even the sd card. It always goes through the install process correctley but always ends with
"application not installed". Any suggestions? Thanks

Thank you very much for this rom!
This looks great. I'm mildly sure this is sort of what jdkeclipse was trying to accomplish. This is how the OP is done well and done right. Thanks rmk40
You should just throw some screenshots in there regardless of the fact that it's a stock rom.

you will probably have to push it through recovery with adb. I have noticed that if I use root explorer to add things to system/app they usually will not work for some reason, and the only way it will is through recovery or if I make a small flashable zip file.
Thank you! The app works but the widget does not?
Rmk, you just released it and a newer leak showed up today. Are you by chance going to mod the new one as well with your touches?
Haha, this awesome. Right after u get done with the work A new leak is released. Regardless this is very much appreciated.

Since that's an HTC app, you'll need to do that via recovery. Boot into recovery, adb shell, mount /system and go ahead and copy/move the files.

Updated to base on today's 3.21.605.1 OTA.
Got home to a pleasant surprise! Got 2.0 flashed, and got a quadrant score of ~1300. Flashed KiNgxKernel BFS #1 and jumped my quadrant up to ~1600 running at 1113mhz. Also got solid 36s in linpack.
Ty for throwing this together. Was exactly what I was looking for! Even down to the boot animation sound. Gotta figure out how to change the boot animation still... kinda new to this.
Anyway, solid work. Keep us posted if anything new shows up.
Is bump charging still needed or does the phone finally charge properly?
I am very new to this, so I am not sure what to looks for on the forum.
I generally followed instructions from Lifehacker and this forum, used androot to root my phone, done it after two days.. (finally figured out I had to downgrade my phone.. )
So now I'm rooted, I have super user access, and I have rom manager installed. Here are a couple of things I know I want to get to do:
- install froyo (as stable as possible)
- uninstall sprint crapware (the NFL, navigation and others.. who needs them)
- possibly overclocking a little by what I read, I have another battery and I'm willing to try and give overclock a "little" each time to see if it works.
Before I do anything (I backed up my current settings with rom manager), I wanted to post here and ask you guys what I should do first, and how do I restore things back to normal if something goes wrong?
Thanks a bunch!

If you install CM, it will remove all apps anyways. If you want to know how to remove apps - there are threads all over the place for it.
Also, attached is a script I wrote to remove apps (apk). It's a very simple straightforward script. Here's what you do, create a subfolder (not needed) on your sdcard, copy the two files into the folder, update "Apps-to-remove,txt" with all the apks you want to remove (with the full path) and run the script through terminal or adb shell. This script is not needed, but just simplifies the job, that's all.

Goto http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756774, read through and use, as appropriate. If you use the latest build by Jaybob, you may not need any kernels from this thread, as the builds have the latest code.
Hope this helps.

To restore everything back to "Out-of-the-box", just run the official RUU from HTC/Sprint.
Thanks Andy.
Right now I'm going through Roms (I heard good things about Cyanogen but I can't download it because their registration page is messed up..) and I tried what comes for free with Rom Manager, which almost gave me a heart attack when the phone started... fortunately I read the instructions to restoring things so I was able to get back to my old rom (whew!!)
But now, for some reason, I don't have the market app on my phone! how am I to download rom manager...
Is it possible to chat with you or someone at least for a couple of minutes as I go through this, because at this rate I won't have my phone working well until tomorrow >.>
You need to install GAPPS, once you install a ROM.
I would highly recommend CM. The builds Jaybob has put together are based on CM code, take the latest (12/08) - it's stable. BTW, it's a mediafire link, so you should be good. I just downloaded the latest, y'day... works like a charm... (Thanks JayBob and Cm and everyone - can't say that enough).
The best way to install rom is:
1. Download copy ROM and gapps to your SDcard's root
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Wipe everything - Wipe/Factory reset, Wipe cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache
4. Install ROM from zip
5. Install Gapps from zip
6. Reboot - btw, the first reboot after a rom/gapps install takes a while, so don't be alarmed.
You can PM me, if needed.
I installed that last Rom via Rom Manager, which did it pretty much automatically.. so I didn't try to install a Rom via the SD card yet.
To make things worse, the phone does not recognized it's connected to a computer at all (there is no USB icon on my phone's notification bar) so I can restore it being to old sprint crap. No Market app, no way of installing anything or communicating with the phone, my backup, when I restore it, brings back the old HTC but without the market app and as I said, no USB support.
heeeeeelllllllllppppppppppppp
Ok,
I managed to restore things back to the old Sprint RUU. I noticed the SD card was *completely* out of room, which might have messed up my backups. I still don't know where these backups reside or how much room do they take, but making sure you have enough room on the SD card is important, as I think I have learned the hard way.
Important: the RUU detected my phone and installed *even without* the usb icon or my computer treating my phone as a "usb storage device". So resorting to this option, even though annoying (have to install and gain root access all over again), is helpful to have.
Now I am going to format my SD card, which doesn't have any important information, I don't think (my documents are all backed up anywhere and try and install the CM rom from a zip file, which I'm not sure how to do yet (people like me are used to have something like setup.exe, and everything works from there...) so I'm going to read and go step by step.
ROM installation is pretty simple, once you get your recovery going... just make sure you wipe everything, as I mentioned earlier to you...

No Market app, no way of installing anything or communicating with the phone, my backup, when I restore it, brings back the old HTC but without the market app and as I said, no USB support.
heeeeeelllllllllppppppppppppp

Did you reboot with the phone connected by USB, by any chance?

You need to install GAPPS, once you install a ROM.
I would highly recommend CM. The builds Jaybob has put together are based on CM code, take the latest (12/08) - it's stable. BTW, it's a mediafire link, so you should be good. I just downloaded the latest, y'day... works like a charm... (Thanks JayBob and Cm and everyone - can't say that enough).
The best way to install rom is:
1. Download copy ROM and gapps to your SDcard's root
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Wipe everything - Wipe/Factory reset, Wipe cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache
4. Install ROM from zip
5. Install Gapps from zip
6. Reboot - btw, the first reboot after a rom/gapps install takes a while, so don't be alarmed.
You can PM me, if needed.

Hi all,
I have a rooted Rogers Captivate running stock Rogers 2.2 with OCLF. The other day I installed busybox and anim mod, and today I decided to change my transitions with anim mod.
After applying the change, it asked me to restart my phone. I clicked yes, and it hung for a moment before showing a force close screen. However, before I could do anything, it reset, but after the logos and startup animation, it vibrated and went to black. The soft keys still light up, but no buttons including holding down power have any effect.
After pulling out the battery, I discovered I could still get to recovery console (and I'm fairly certain I could get into download mode as well), but my main concern is getting to / backing up my contacts.
Your help would be enormously appreciated!
-Alex
1. Check the files that are present in the theme u installed - typically the files under the system folders
2. Ask ur ROM developer to package these files (from original ROM) into a CWM flashable zip file (assuming u do not know how to do this)
3. Push this to ur phone using adb and install it on ur phone
Next time on, when installing any theme not made 'specifically' for ur ROM, refrain from doing so. In case you are in a mood to experiment, it would recommended to take a nandroid backup in case issues like this come up.
Since u say urs is stock, u could package these files from ur stock zip. For this u'd have to find a Roger's stock zip file, and u should be able to find an empty update.zip to package these files into (attaching template update.zip to this post; open in winrar).
Thank you very much for helping me with this diablo, I really got myself into a mess and I appreciate your help trying to get me out of it.
I'm not running any themes on top of Rogers 2.2, it's pure stock. I don't have CWM on my phone, nor have I used ADB before. Also, I'm not sure where or how I'd get the stock zip, I did download your template but I don't know how to fill it with what I need.
Thanks again,
Alex
Oh, and if you give me a donate button or paypal account, I'd be happy to show my gratitude.

Alex, try searching for Rogers stock ROM. U should be able to find it on these forums.
II
Meanwhile, try posting a thread to ask people here who may be on Rogers stock to zip up their /system/framework folder.
Asking for /system/app zip would not be a good idea since it would contain paid apps too. So alternately,
1. Open the theme zip that u put on ur phone
2. Navigate to /system/app folder
3. List down the apps u see there
4. Ask for anyone who's on stock rogers if they can zip up these files for u.
III
Next, considering u have the apps and the contents of /system/framework:
1. Open the file I sent u in 'winrar'
2. Navigate to system/app folder
3. Drop the apps u got from 'whoever-helped-u' into this folder
4. Navigate to system/framework folder
5. Drop the files in system/framework from 'whoever-helped-u' into this folder
6. Close winrar and rename to update.zip
IV
7. Put this file on ur SD card root
8. Boot into recovery
9. Select 'apply update.zip' (not sure of exact wording)
10. Reboot
Also, what is the theme u downloaded?
I put the steps in blocks so it would be easy to trouble shoot in case u run into any issues.
All the best Alex.
[Q] Phone won't get past boot screen, please help
Thank you again, Diablo, lunch is on me today.
I don't have any themes installed, this is the program that created the trouble for me, which I download from the Android Market:
http://www.androidblip.com/android-themes/anim-mod-root-136113.html
I clicked on the "fly in & flip" selection.
I will make a post requesting a stock rogers 2.2 zip of their /system/framework folder.
Is there anything else I'm missing, and once I get the /system/framework get it into the update.zip, how do I get it onto my SD card root, or do I just put it on the root of an external SD card?

I see its a paid app, so can't say whats in it. But since its into animations and stuff, most likely it messed up some files in ur framework folder. Send me the update.zip file after u update so I can cross check before u can flash it on ur phone.
Hi Diablo,
I wrote a new post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=997233
Am I asking for the right thing?
Also, on the app page it says "Anim Mod changes the system framework files without touching your theme so if you constantly switch from ROM to ROM you can always get the animation you prefer the best."
Does this make anything simpler?
Thanks again for continuing to help me,
Alex

Yes. It says it changes files. I would NOT recommend any such app that changes framework files with/without knowledge, unless, there is a way backup plan at hand to revert to stock.
I normally take a nandroid backup of my ROM before playing with things like this, so in case things mess up, atleast there is a working copy of ROM.
Secondly, since u said u need contacts, I would recommend the following:
1. Install titanium backup (TiBu in short)
2. Backup "Contacts Storage"
3. Copy this folder "Titanium Backup" from sdcard to a safe location (e.g., ur computer)
This would backup ur contacts. So in case u mess up with something, u can always copy this folder to ur sdcard and restore using TiBu.
U can also backup all user apps and data so u can restore all ur apps and data in these kinds of situations. But do NOT backup or try to restore any system data except the one contacts storage I mentioned above.
Also, be warned, contacts data cannot be moved this way between different versions of ROM like 2.1 and 2.2. But u can move between 2.2 and 2.2.1. I was also able to restore this data on 2.3.3 gingerbread.
Personally, I now use "Sprite Backup" to backup and restore my data.
Thanks for your effort yesterday Diablo. I decided to odin flash the stock rogers 2.1, repartition, and upgraded to 2.2 via kies. I lost my contacts, but couldn't go any longer without the phone. I'm gonna back everything up right now!

Sorry to hear that Alex. This time make sure u backup "Contacts Storage" in Tibu when u r on 2.2.
Else use Sprite Backup or anything similar to help backup.
This is a guide that shows you how to dual boot multiple android ROMs, and it's possible that these ROMs have different android versions
I'll be using boot manager application in this guide. It's not my app, I didn't develop it and I didn't help in developing it in any way.
The application doesn't touch you internal memory at all. It just makes .img files for the system, data, cashe and boot. It also makes a .android_secure folder.
So any change made will be in the SDcard not in the Internal memory.
That's enough talking, now here are the steps for installing a ROM and booting to it. But before you do anything, make a Nandroid backup (just in case if something goes wrong)
1- Open market (play store) and download Boot manager (lite or pro, but I will be using the lite version in this guide)
2- Open the app. It will make the first time configuration in which it will download about 3~4 MBs.
3- [IMPORTANT !!] Setup your phone ROM. This creates a boot image file for your current ROM so you can boot back again to your original ROM.
4- After that, swipe to go to the first ROM slot. Press install zip button, choose your ROM's zip file location, then check the three boxes (system, data & cashe). Then press okay, then choose which file system you will be using.
Now it's creating files for your ROM inside /SDcard/BootManager/rom1.
You can see the progress in the notification dropdown menu. Try not to use your phone while installing because it will be very slow and laggy.
5- Now it's time to install gapps or any other mod you want to install. Do the same steps as the ROM installation but this time don't check any box. If your ROM doesn't include gapps then you MUST install it as boot manager needs to check your license.
6- Now you can boot to the installed ROM. JUST press boot ROM
The booting process will probably take more time than usual. That's normal don't worry about it.
OK now you're on a SDcard ROM and you want to go back to your phone (original) ROM. Just open boot manager, swipe to phone ROM then press boot ROM. It's that simple
Some problems I had:
When I wanted to go back to my phone ROM, it doesn't boot, it just open the recovery and it doesn't want to reboot properly.
Solution:
Make an advanced restore for the system from the recovery then boot. If it didn't work then make another advanced restore for boot. That's the only solution I have found till now.
Tips and Tricks:
1- If the performance is slow, overclock the device.
2- Use SDcard booster, it's found on the play store.
3- Also use swapper, also found on play store.
4- You can also edit some details, as the ROM and kernel name and screenshots.
5- If you were using the lite version you WILL find the paid one in the SDcard ROMs. But don't be happy as it won't open. Just uninstall it and then install the lite version again from the play store.
6- If you are like me, in a country in which billing in android market is disabled or you just don't want to pay for the pro version, do the following:
Although the lite version has only one rom slot but it creates 5 folders rom1, rom2,.... etc
And it only creates the files in the rom1 folder
Let's say for example you are running CM7 as your daily driver and you want rom1 to be LeWaOS and Rom2 to be CM9 KANG.
It's quite simple, first install CM9 normally, it will be installed to Rom1 folder. Then copy every file in that folder to rom2 folder and delete the contents of .android_secure folder in rom1, then install LeWaOS normally.
If you want to boot into LeWaOS u can boot normally using boot manager. If you want cm9 then copy the files inside Rom2 folder back to Rom1 then boot normally through boot manager

Me too, but it happened to me in an older version. The current one works fine for me except the part when I go back to my phone ROM.
Sent from my still alive, ICS capable HTC Wildfire.
I haven't used it for ages, I bought it months ago but imo its simpler, the rom runs a little smoother, its less buggy and doesn't take up as much room on your sd card just to do a nandroid of every rom, then just switch them that way. Unless you'd rather have the novelty factor of using an App to do it.
A few things I noticed was it wouldn't work on cm7 no matter what I did, even with support from the developer (that may be fixed now though) on a sense based rom it worked first time everytime so if anyone has a problem with it not writing on the images switch your main rom to a sense based one.
It changes the boot path to direct it to the sd card so if you get stuck on the splash screen simply booting into recovery and advanced restoring the boot image should put things right again, as far as I know it doesn't touch the system partition so you shouldn't need to restore that. (saves a few minutes)

I already know that it doesn't touch the system partition and I tried restoring boot only but it didn't reboot. I had to restore system also. It's not a logical solution but it works for me
And sometimes restoring the system only works too
My mobile must be always different than other's mobiles I don't know why but it does

Thanks for the guide...it is working fine...no issues in switching between Roms..
Scratch was right..my phone rom is Rempuzzle and Sd card Rom is Lewa..Since Rempuzzle is a sense Rom ..it didnt give me any sort of pain...
Those who wants to try take the base rom as a Sense and then try experimenting...

So if it doesn't touch the system, i suppose there is no problem for people with custom mtd partitions? (Due to boot a rom, installing bravo-boot.zip is required)

It creates a new system.img 250mb on the sd card, not sure if you can physically change that but your original mtd should be fine.
Why don't you test it out?
i didn't use mtd because i had to use sense as a base just to get the app to work, as previously mentioned i have no need for this app now, nandroids work just fine.

I'm using custom MTD partitions and can confirm that there are no problems with using this.
Primary ROM is CM7.2 and secondary is CM9, only issue is that when going back to primary, you need to do advanced restore of system.
I must say the following.
A few days ago I encountered another problem while returning back to the phone rom, in my case it's CM7. Some of my apps got deleted. I don't know what caused or why did it happen. They were about 4 or 5 apps. They weren't uninstalled completely as the data remained but the app itself got deleted.

DEPRECATED
just go try lineage or something
J3Time is a free ROM for the Galaxy J3 (2016), well, actually an TWRP backup.It is made to be lightweight (compared to TouchWiz) and to look pretty much like AOSP Android.
Features:
Almost everything TouchWiz related is removed,except SystemUI, framework and some other stuff.
All preinstalled bloat is removed.
SuperSU / Root is installed and works properly.
Xposed framework and Lollipop Xposed Installer are also installed.
AOSP-ish feeling to the ROM
Material Design theme is applied.No need for Samsung Account or Theme Store.
TouchWiz Home is removed and replaced with Nova Launcher for an AOSP feeling.
Included a pretty AOSP looking dialer , Android Messages , Google Contacts and the Clock app from Google.
Also included a lockscreen similar to the stock android one.
The ROM has Material Status Bar installed as a USER APP.It's used to make the status bar and notification pulldown look like stock android.
---- Feel free to remove it if it's too buggy for you, or if you'd like to theme the TouchWiz one instead.
Installation:
I was not able to make a flashable zip for TWRP or Odin, so you install this as an TWRP backup.
Download the ROM from here (About 1GB):
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzUhV0AAkLSiS3NnQnp5NjZhblk
Extract TWRP.zip
Create TWRP folder on the internal storage
Place BACKUPS folder in the TWRP folder
Reboot to recovery and go RESTORE
Select the backup
Clear cache and reboot
If it bootloops make sure you have the J320F, didn't swipe to install SuperSU when rebooting from TWRP, or just try wiping the cache.

Galaxy j3 duos 2016
It works with my Galaxy j3 duos 2016. That has j320f chipset. But there is a problem with the "AOSP looking dialer". I can not quickly select the SIM card for the call.
Most Google programs and services I could disable without difficulties - even the playstore. I'm used to installing the APKs. Have many, many thanks. It's a great job! If I find some bugs, I'll let you know.
Hey, the dialer's dual sim function is in beta, btw this dialer isn't found anywhere in the play store so I don't know if there is a newer version.
If there is one I will replace this one.
Expect a new version of this rom soon.
If there is a new dialer version I will update it.
I am disabling Material Status Bar's status bar and leaving the notification shade only
The status bar will be made AOSPish with Flat Style Bar Indicators since that app is less buggy.
Thanks to you too for trying this ROM.
I found a solution. If I go in the system settings to SIM card manager, I can choose with voice call under prefered simcard "ask allways". Then the system asks me before dialing which SIMcard I would like to use for the call. It's like an old cell phone with dual SIM.
By the way, I just had a problem when I opened xposed installer. It came in red writing that "There Seems to be a known issue (" Samsung TouchWiz ROM ") message. Installing Xposed may not work or lead to severe problem ...
After I went to "Install / Update (Version 87)", I wanted to install over recovery. When I reboot, I got into the bootloop. I had no backup - my fault. Now I start again ... Have already formatted and re-installed your system. This time I make a backup before I start working with the xposed installer.
Hey there.
The xposed error means absolutely nothing.It's just the app detecting you have a samsung rom with TW.
As you can see the xposed is a custom build for TouchWiz
I can assure you it works perfectly fine, I have a few xposed modules on my phone and they work flawlessly.
The reason you bootlooped is becuase it installed a version of xposed not supported with Samsung ROMs.
Thank you for your information! I'm still a novice with Android, Custom ROM and Xposed framework. Surely I will destroy my system more often. But I have your ROM and TWRP. In the next few days, I will try to integrate XPrivacy into my installation. I want to gain control of my data as much as possible.
Good luck.
I can already tell you that XPrivacy works fine as I use it too.

I Extracted the twrp.zip and moved it to the internal storage under twrp folder and placed the backups folder in that twrp file. When i move into twrp recovery and select restore it shows nothing to choose from. pls guide me how to solve this
@Mr.Reticent
Thanks for trying it out, I'm trying to do the updates at least monthly, and yes I updated the link
For your issue, I am an idiot and didn't include the TWRP folder like in the last version so you have to copy the BACKUPS folder inside and TWRP folder instead.
If i understood you correctly, you already did that.
First extract TWRP.zip
Create TWRP folder on the internal storage
Place BACKUPS folder in the TWRP folder
Reboot to recovery and go RESTORE
Select the backup
Clear cache and reboot
That should be a more clearly explained procedure.
I did that on my phone and it detected the backup as I already managed to bootloop it and anyways needed to restore.
Try the procedure again, if it doesn't work try creating a backup, deleting all the stuff inside the folder and replacing it with my stuff.

Don't know if it works for the fn, I guess you can try it,I'm pretty sure it will work, like 90% sure.I can see there is no big difference between the F and FN.
Works absolutely fine on my J320F.
Oh yeah, if any of you want it I can include Greenify with the rom ( app for hibernating apps so they waste less battery/ram/CPU time )
Expect a new update soon!
Will rework the power menu and update the status bar app to a beta branch with a ton of great features.

Thanks for trying it out, I'm trying to do the updates at least monthly, and yes I updated the link
For your issue, I am an idiot and didn't include the TWRP folder like in the last version so you have to copy the BACKUPS folder inside and TWRP folder instead.
If i understood you correctly, you already did that.
First extract TWRP.zip
Create TWRP folder on the internal storage
Place BACKUPS folder in the TWRP folder
Reboot to recovery and go RESTORE
Select the backup
Clear cache and reboot

Thanks A ton. Finally installed the rom and it looks great with a lot of features but I have found some bugs like the rom is lacking the notification badge feature. I have received the messages on WhatsApp,facebook etc but it doesn't shows the number of messages I have received on the icon(hope u understood).Pls solve this problem in the latest update of the rom and if possible try to include magisk to hide root in any case the user wants it. Thanks a lot for ur effort dude and keep updating the apps within the rom . sorry I am asking for a lot :laugh:
@Mr.Reticent
Personally I don't like the badges and they are not in AOSP so I didn't enable them.
Go to app drawer
Open nova settings
Select notification badges
In upper right corner switch it on
Select either numeric badges or dynamic badges
If you selected numeric badges also install TeslaUnread from the PlayStore and follow the instructions.
