on what rom are you: stock (original) or custom rom?
and what kind of rom do you want flas?
in general: rom sticky section is where the info for both rom kinds and how to flash them can be found

Generally, from what I noticed (and used) It seems that ever developer posts a from scratch guide to install their ROM, or at least posts a link to the "from scratch part" Generally, find the ROM and follow their directions. Doesn't matter too much what your coming from... You can always just be safe and start from scratch until you understand it a little better. Devs her are awesome like that.

i am using |X|6.5.5|ROM|WWE| ★ Energy "Leo" 23542/21892 |Mar 5| ★ Sense 2.5.2012 / MaxManila ★.
i dont want to change my rom yet, this one is pretty awesome, except for battery life. But, if i want to go back to the stock rom, would i just transfer it to my sd card, and follow the steps that you do to every rom?

[Q] how do i deodex my i9000 galaxy s?

Hi everybody!
so can anyone explain me how to deodex my entire rom? and it's VERY IMPORTANT.
i need a good and serious guide.
my firmware version is xwjvb, csc: neejv3 AND i have cf root
i have no idea how it's done and ive clearly never done it but it dont mean i cant,
Also, ive found this post "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765270" but it's a lil bit confusing, i have xultimate 2.2.3, and for example after step 4 on that guide, i dont find any guava.odex to remove, and it doesnt even work when i start the 4th choice.....
im also not sure if it will work on my phone/os versions.
so will anybody help me please, i really need to deodex to especially try the touchwiz 4 port!

DOn't waste your time in trying to do it yourself; it's already available on this forum. Check this one out!

wow, this is GREAT!!! exactly what i was looking for, thanks ALOT
***eventhough i no longer really need to manually deodex thanks to ramad, and to widget21 for letting me know about it, i'd still like to learn how to manually do it...... so can anybody please help?

once you are rooted the easiest and quickest way to get deodexed is installing a custom ROM -- there are several now that are fairly minimalist and you can cook a bare bones custom rom over at Doc's kitchen. Custom ROMs have the advantage of not only being deodexed but zipaligned and consistent with the file system. Why re-invent the wheel?

im so NOT going to reinvent anything, im not even sure if i can anyways LOL, i was just curious cuz when they talk about it it's like something than can simply be done after flashing a stock rom like rooting..... i already goofed up and lost everything i had on the phone so flashing a new rom is not that big of deal anymore lol

know how you feel: my understanding comes from doing it the hard way and having to rescue the phone several times, so now I know better I try to help people not make the same mistakes I did while I was trying to sort it out myself.
Hope you flashed the kernel and rom you like that gets the most out of your phone and all is excellent today!

[Q] Cook custom roms.

Hello you all!
I want to create my own custom roms for my i9000.
I don't want to use DOC's and Stefunel's romkitchen.
I rather build my own from 0 to 100.
Is there something like a tutorial to do this?

This might help you, it's guide put together by Darky, he has a very good ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960946

Thank you but it's a tutorial to convert a custom rom to an odin flashable goody..
I look for something more specific to add/remove apk's do some themeing and that kind of tweaking.

This is for the myTouch but I would imagine the basics are the same, I have seen a lot of guides available on Google so it might be worth a quick hunt on there.

[Q] Kernel's problem with Zeus

Hello,
I had some SOD with zeus 4.02 so I installed Kernel_4.4.3_eabi but now it's worst, so how can I return to Zeus's kernel.
Should I install v4.02b_int or v4.02b_int_up ?
Do I need wipe ?
Thanks, and sorry for my english
PS: the Nova's kernel V11 look great does it compatible or better ?

The problem is, if you install v4.02b_int, you will automatically get a FULL wipe!
And the other one, just applies this here:
v4.02:
- Added the possibility to select ascending/constant ringtone through zeus script (big thanks to TugaSoulHunter)
So either you grab the full ROM, take the boot.img out, modify the updater-script and flash it, or you simply install the ROM again, or even better will be, to install one of Huexxx new test ROMs, since those seem to be bugfree

Ok full wipe
Ok so I make a full wipe in each case
Thank you

Install stock kernel (its under eabi) and wait couple of days for new Zeus.

hum.... N00BY0815 how can i do this?
I read the post of Huexxx but i can't understand... maybe i'am tooooo noob
is the V5 and the v5.01(update) new rom versions?
I have the ROM Zeus 4.0.2b and i dont have any kind of bug.... Should i install that? (v5)
But if i only want a new kernel, what do you suggest?

My uncle once told me: NEVER touch a running system.
So in other words, as long as you dont have problems with your device, why would you wanna change ANYTHING? for the kick of flashing new stuff?
v5 is a new version, Huexxx started to cook from scratch again. Idk on which version it is built, but you had to do a full-wipe again, in order to install it. Is that worth it to you? Especially, you wont even know, if the new kernel is ANY better than the one you are using right now... It' s up to you mate, but I wouldnt change a thing
And for extrcting the kernel of a ROM, you ll need dsixda's Android Kitchen and quite a lot of knowledge, but you can do it, cause there are a lot of guides out there, how to do it Then you need to figure out, how to install a new kernel. Therefore grab a Kernel from the first post, extract it, look at the commands in updater-script, refine them for your kernel, repack everything, sign it and flash it to your phone. That's how easy it is
Oh I think you can also simply take the boot.img, replace the one in Huexxx first post with the updated one (from V5 or 5.1), sign the .zip file and flash it. Even easier
AND DONT BLAME ME FOR SCREWING YOUR PHONE!!! It's not my problem, if you dont know what you are doing/what you have to do

[Q] Kernel/Rom Selection & Me

So I ordered a Galaxy Note 1 yesterday, and i am pretty sure I wanna root& put a custom rom on it.
Right now, i tried to find the right rom for me, which turns out to not be that easy, since there seem to be many good roms &kernel combination
Its simply not "clear" which one is the best, nor is there a comparison table or anything that would help a noob to know about advantages of different roms without actually trying them.
I read many threads, but I found out that there are a lot of fans of all those roms, so that i am not able to decide what to choose...
Maybe you could give me a hint, which rom/kernel is nice for my needs which are the following:
1) I would like to use "google now" since i like to test voice assistance
2) I am exited about project butter, since i want a very fluid/smooth feel when swiping homescreens, also want this "animation" when swiping through screens like with the s3
3) I want this s3 typical live wallpaper with those waterdrop effects (has nothing to do with the rom, does it? )
4) I want to use the pen and those apps (at least until I find out i dont use it as often as i think...) so I would like to have the galaxy note 2 experience on my galaxy note, speaking newest Touchwiz ?! (since i think some pen functionality get lost when using some roms..)
5) I saw there are roms, which support this tablet/hybrid more, so you can select for each app if you want it in tablet or smartphone view, i like that very much, would be cool to have it!
6) I am noob at all this, but whatever you suggest, I will read into it and spend a lot of time doing it the right way or as you say and succeed with it
7) I like easy upgrade mechanics, so if there is something new out for this type of rom, it would be cool to be able to update this from my phone without the initial tools needed to get root/flash/custom rom it (dont know if this is even possible)
8) German language support would be a nice to have, but not a must have...
Based on those needs, which combination would you suggest to me kernel/rom wise?
Advice is very very appreciated!
Regards, James

There are mods to get google now on any rom but i guess project butter can be experienced only on jb
You can get all spen apps on tw based custom roms and some apps are available on non-tw based roms but not all
There are many cm roms that support tablet mods like paranoid android
And on any rom,the best kernel is hydracore..Its an universal kernel and can be flashed on any rom

I'd say the best for you is stock Samsung JB (Android 4.1.1).

Thanks rajsekhar!
So lets say I would use hydracore and as a rom i have tot decide between a tw rom and paranoid android rom.
1) In the hydracore thread its seems that gavin the main developer is stopping his work, does this mean i should not use his kernel? Or does he have something "finished" released? Like completly without bugs, that can be used for the next year or so?!
He said in his thread:
If CM and AOSP type roms continue down this path then unfortunatly Hydra will be coming to an end.
So, on this note, when v6.1 final is released on friday (still more testing to do) i think I shall be calling it a day and cease all development activities for the Note.

If I should not use this Kernel because of this, which alternative is there?
2) If you suggest the paranoid android rom, you mean i should stick to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871713 ,right?
3) I cannot find the thread for the TW based-ROM do they also have a thread in this forum?!
Thanks so far, and in advance!

Ok, so I will pick hydra core 5.4, without OC.
Is there a touchwiz rom based on jelly bean yet?!I have not found any,...
If there is non, i have to decide to use touchwiz & 4.0.4 OR no touchwiz but 4.1 jelly bean, right?!
So i will try to install the paranoid android rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797698
In this Thread its stated that I should make sure to run CM9 before I try to flash this ROM to avoid a brick, so I guess I have to do something else before...
To be honest, I feel a little bit helpless with all those FAQ´s which Link to other threads which include further FAQ, there is no clean way to follow even after reading all those threads...
What I have done so far is:
- have donwloaded the correct hydracore v5.4 kernel
- downloaded samsung USB driver and installed it
- downloaded "gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip"
- downloaded "pa_n7000-2.17-04OCT2012-130953.zip"
- downloaded odin v1.85
So with the aim of using hydracore 5.4 with paranoid android on it, and I expect gb on my note when i receive it today:
What are the steps to take?!
Help would be very much appreciated!

There are no tw jb roms
If you were on gb and interested in stock 4.0.4,then go to settings<about phone<software update.Then you will be updated to 4.0.4 through ota
If you wish to flash paranoid android or any other rom,then follow this guide to get root and cwm

Yes, I guess i will first test stock 4.0.4 but at first sign of underperfomance / stuttering, i guess i will try to follow your linked guide!
Will 4.0.4 run faster if I would take a TW Rom from the forum? Or will I only get "butter smooth" feeling through Jelly Bean Roms? What are your experiences?
Thank you very much for your help
