[Q] Help me out!! flashing custom ROM

Im currently on a rooted stock ICS (DDLPA) with speedmod kernel k3-3, and im a newbee to flashing a custom rom:fingers-crossed:, just want to know how to flash a custom rom that is safe from bricking in simple steps, and i want to know which rom is best also with some stock holo theme flavors on it?? please members help me out:crying::crying:

What custom rom do you want to install? Read its first page and you should get instruction on how to install it.
PS : consider using the "search" button

First of all, please do flash custom ROM. You lose so much using Samsung's bloated firmware... If you're after Holo Theme, you're after AOSP based ROMs. The best options in my opinion are:
- CM9 if you want fast, clean and smooth rom.
- AOKP if you want rich options etc.
- Paranoid if you'd like to use Tablet/Hybrid UI.
How to flash ? Look any of those ROMs up and follow instructions. Usually what you have to do is:
- Root and install CWM via automated Zergrush script, so it's really a one-click operation.
- Flash a .zip in recovery
- Do a wipe ( if on safe kernel )
- Reboot and enjoy
It's not difficult, simply follow the instructions in ROMs thread, and if you need any help - just ask.

Just use titanium backup to remove unwanted apps. There is a list in the themes section on which apps is safe to remove.
Alba rom is stock and runs fast on speedmod k3-3. Again, you can remove whatever app you wish to.
There is a script on themes section to automatically remove all the bloatware.
Keep on reading.

You can surely flash Rocket Rom V7 from Sepedmod kernel coz its a safe kernel...Boot in Recovery....Do a full wipe (Data,Cache,Dalvik) den flash the RRV7 zip...Nd you're done....You might lose root....So after a reboot flash the attached CWM SuperSU zip without any wipe.....ND REMEMBER NEVER WIPE ON ROCKET ROM WITHOUT FLASHING A SAFE KERNEL AGAIN....coz RRom installs CFRoot kernel which is not that safe....so its better to flash a kernel like franco or speedmod after flashing the rom....nd also before flashing a custom kernel use the jBroid cleaning script attached....just flash it before flashing the kernel....(Press THANKS if helped)

Its written Abyssnote kernel bcoz earlier that was the only custom kernel considered safe....but now with the kernel source code being released Speedmod and Franco Kernels have MMC_CAP_ERASE removed which triggerred the brick bug...therefore its safe to wipe from these kernels....Just follow the steps I mentioned....and if u wanna use abyss kernel (i.e. method b2) then okay....but you are just wasting ur time....Coz speedmod is SAFE....(press THANKS if helped)

I am also on Rocket Rom V7...that's why I can say dat its safe....U can go through the threads of franco nd speedmod kernel...Its written there only that they are safe due to removal of MMC_CAP_ERASE....the only difference in my method nd dat explained in the RR thread is that they are using safe abyssnote kernel nd I have asked to use the speedmod kernel on which u currently are nd which is also safe...I was just giving u a shortcut which is also SAFE...Don't forget to press THANKS

Good to hear that....

:cryingooo,, gotta problem, everything seems fine, but after sometimes my note is freezing and restarting, is it because of the kernel which i use? waiting for your solution:fingers-crossed:

its possible, some users have mixed reviews about franco's kernel, try an alternative like speedmod.
did you do a full wipe before changing roms ?

you cooled me down azzledazzle!! just now flashed speedmod kernel and yet to see any reboots,:good: and one more noob question, apart from custom rom, what else can i do to my note to get the best out of it? some points can be helpfull

what cant you do ??
you can tweak the **** out of it, install a load of init.d scripts, theme it, add a ton of mods. just keep scanning the themes and app section for new mods

[Q] Is it safe to flash a gb cf root kernel on ics?

Hey Guys! Just needed a bit of help. Is it safe to flash a gn cf root kernel on stock or custom ICS rom?? Like, will I be safe from the superbrick bug if I flash a gb kernel over an ICS one? Any Help will be appreciated! Thanx in advance!
P.S I am sorry if the question is asked before..

its hit and miss really, Some users report that CF root kernel is safe, others say its not.
One kernel confirmed to be safe is Abyss
They have one for GB and one for ICS
Abyss - ICS https://dl.dropbox.com/u/69014495/AbyssNotekernel42CWTouchOriginalLogo.zip
Abyss GB

So if I flash Abyss Note kernel, I am safe from the superbrick bug? But won't the device be already damaged if I flash stock ICS? And also if I use factory reset from recovery or other superbrick commands, will my device get damaged? Sorry for the Q's!

If you flash an Abyss GB kernel for stock ICS (or ICS at all) it won't boot (or give a lot of errors IF it does).
Just use Speedmod or Franco kernels for stock ICS. They are safe.

You are never completely safe from the superbrick, But with abyss, and as said above speedmod (what i use) the command that causes the brick is disabled, So providing you only ever do a full wipe on a KNOWN SAFE KERNEL you will be fine.
There are a few safe kernels now, Im unsure of them all as ive only ever used speedmod & abyss, Feel free to use another one, Just be sure to check if its safe or not.
The bug is in the chip, But the command to trigger the bug is in the ICS kernel, Hence why GB is the ultimate safe option.

Thank you very much guys! I guess that I'll stay on GB till a stable ICS comes out!I really wanted to try the cool mods for ICS! But are you sure that if I use speedmod Wiping or Restoring won't brick my note? :laugh:

Well no can can confirm 100% that you wont get a brick, Although the chances of that happening on a safe kernel is minimal.
As with all modding you do it at your own risk, I can confirm i have successfully done a full wipe in CWM using both SpeedMod and Abyss kernel, So have 100's of other users too ! So you should be fine
I had doubts at first, So i upgraded to ICS via ODIN without wiping, never had any issues.

Abyss kernel and CM9 ROM
thanks a lot every one.... a lot of info floating around...
but there a re a few questions im not sure about.... i hope if you can help answer them....
1. i checked my GN ICS 4.0.3 rooted stock and it has the chipset known to have emmc bug issue.. so now if I flash using the abyss kernel it should be fine. But do i need to flash it with a ICS ROM only or can I flash it with a pre rooted GB ROM as well?
2. I understand there are two versions of Abyss Kernel. One for ICS and one for GB. Which do i install if i plan to move to GB from ICS official stock? and vice-versa?
3. Is it safe to directly move from rooted stock ICS 4.0.3 to CM9? using Abyss kernel?
4. Just one las thing. When we flash a kernel like Abyss to ensure non bricking, does it mean that the new ROM would use the same kernel (Abyss) ? or would it install its own kernel? For example if i flash Abyss and then flash CM9 ROM, will CM9 use Abyss as the system kernel or will it install its own kernel?
Sorry for asking soo many dumb questions, but i want to get my facts right before i flash.
Thanks in advance.

azzle, are you sure there is an abyss kernel for ics too ? everyone says abyss is meant for GB only ? where is the original thread please ?

here you go...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362424
read all on that thread bud before you do some actions.

Abyss is a gb kernel, it's useful for doing quick flashing under ics as it's already rooted with cwm baked in. But yeah, I you can't run a ics rom under abyss, but you can install abyss, run wipes, then install ics rom and kernel all in one.

Can I flash this directly to this?

I wanna install Kingdroid 3.0
Currently on rooted Kernel Version [email protected] #2
Can i just download the whole packaged which contained fransco's kernel v3.0 and flash it straight via CWM recovery?
Then after that install the rom?
current kernel > fransco's kernel > install ICS rom???

What u can do is flash abyss kernel (which is GB) and then reboot recovery from advance options. Then full wipe and just then u can flash ICS rom.
I guess that Franco's kernel is safe but not sure and it is not worth the risk....
Any GB firmware or kernel is safe to wipe. Also all the roms that are built from source such as CM9 are also safe....

Ahh if you are already in GB then, there's no need to flash another GB kernel or firmware Sorry, I am new to the Note and I am not used to the names yet.
If you are rooted already you can flash an overclocked kernel or install SetCPU or other daemon controlloer that allows you to overclock the CPU, there's no need to use a custom rom for it...

install JB Paranoid preview with ICS and SpeedMod kernel

Hello,
I would like to install the JB preview coming from Paranoid :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797698
I am curently on samsung DDLPA ICS ROM, with root, and kernel SpeedMod K3-11.
please, let me know if I say something wrong. I want to be sure I don't make any mistake :
- my kernel is reliable. I can reboot into recoveray, and make some wipe of caches, dalvik cache etc... without having the risk of brick my Note,
because this is not a stock Kernel.
- it is adviced to flash the JB rom starting from a clean GB. but because my kernel is reliable, I could do it directly from my cirrent ROM + Kernel ?
- because JB has it own kernel, I will lose my speedMod Kernel.
please, let me know if what is listed above is right, or not.
using a computer to flash a new ROM will be difficult for few next days. it would be great for me to be able to flash it directly from my Note.
in any case, I wait for feedback before doing anything...
thanks
Olivier

I think you are right but why taking risks
Better flash a prerooted gb then go to jb

[Q] Newbies On Rom & Root

hi guys im new to roms , kernels and roots. So what i have is a samsung galaxy note which is kinda outdated using gingerbread 2.3.6. Since i saw lots of post about fantastic rom such as the rocketrom , alliancerom and alot more and they also come with JellyBeans.
The main problem i facing is , i would like to know about the facts that after playing with roms what will happen to my phone ? i mean in future will the devices gone wild or maybe dead. I have no idea wth that , so i hope someone enable to give me some advices and consequences of doing these. Any helpful tips will be much appreciate. =)
i wish to change my phone into rocketrom with the latest version of it. so is there any kernels that i can use which is absolutely stable & brickfree.
THANKS FOR ANY HELPFUL TIPS =)

running GB... and want to go to JB
1. root
2. install CWM
3. download Rocket rom on to storage
4. boot into cwm
5. wipe data factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, format /system
5. install the rom
do a lot of reading

Playing with roms doesnt make your phone go wild or get bricked until u flash a rom in a wrong way
And you always need to be on a safe kernel before u flash a rom
As u are on gb,all stock gb roms are safe to flash..so root your phone and get cwm
Then do wipes and flash the rom

All gb roms are safe to flash..so just get rooted and flash rocketrom
And rocketrom comes with a safe and brickfree kernel,so its not required to flash another kernel after u flash rocketrom
And i guess there are no other kernels compatible with jb roms other than the philz kernel that comes with the rom

i second that.. use Philz kernel that comes with the rom. Tested i flashed Hydracore and my phone wont boot. had to flash back RRv2 JB.

hydracore v7 does not work with the tw based roms jb as of now. and will not work until an official jb rom is released.

IcIc
btw how bout kernel which fits properly without brick with RocketRom ICS V12 :laugh::laugh::laugh:
