Reflashing - Nexus 7 General

Hey guys just wondering how if I wanna flash a new ROM to my nexus 7 do I have to remove the old ROM first? I'm using modoco's ROM right now (good job BTW) but I wanna move from joo3 to j5. Does that require a new flash? Also I was thinking about moving to conogen alpha. Anyway basic question is do I need to remove the old ROM before placing a new one over it? Thanks guys!
Cheers,
Vanka

I'd start with posting in the correct forum: development instead of themes and apps.
That said, I'm very happy with Froyo 2.2.1 (released dec 13).

Did you wipe everything in recovery mode before installing the rom?
If you're not familiar with rom install steps, follow the steps in the guide posted in the development forum.

It depends on which you binds good. For me I use floyo 1.2 rom. But you may give a try for froyodvillain 1.7(I think).
and here is somewhere a chinese rom, which is also good too but it may be abit difficult for you to understand that things as you are new to this things..
hope this helps you
Thanks guys going to try froyo 2.2.1 think I need to to look into this abit more though lolz.. what's the radio updates I keep hearing about?

I'd start with telling him to post in the real correct section, which we all know is general, or even Q&A
I use FroydVillain 1.7.2, but if you want speed, just flash flykernel 12 on your current ROM and it should be rapid.
I put froyo 2.1.1 on my phone and wiped everything including my nandroid back up is there any way I can get it back? Froyo is amazing may I add lol.. can I create a backup image of this rom instead?

no, if you deleted your nandroid, that ROM is gone forever
Yep, just reboot into recovery, and select 'Backup/Restore' and then 'Nand Backup'
Thanks mate will create my backup of this rom now invade I mess up again lol

There is a Radio thread in the dev section, where you can flash the newest radio versions. As to what it does.. im not entirely sure myself its supposed to improve phone reception i think.
But make sure you flash the correct type of radio... There is GSM or CMDA. Make sure u know which is the correct one for you!

Q&A thread for all my ports

It is too annoying
So I made Q&A thread for all my ports.
If you have an issue, try everything you can(reboot, wipe data/cache/dalvik AND SEARCH FOR SOLUTION)
And If you cannot find an answer, post question here.

As I said on the post, with Paranoidandroid, I've got soft reboots with smartassv2 or ondemand.
first reboot they said : SIM card added, restart your device to get wireless network (or something like that) and I have to reboot one more time in order to have a working device.

I've always been a HUGE fan of high DPI and this ROM feels like made for me Apart from few annoyances like soft reboots, I'm thinking of making it my daily driver. Is there a way I can set 600px as default without having to manually apply for each application?

aokp jb audio with n1 dock
Is anyone else having trouble playing media through Bluetooth? Trying to get it to work with y n1 dock but it won't play even tho it says its connected.
Nexus one aokp jb v2.0
Has anyone else been having data network issues with Paranoid Android v1.4? My phone would drop data and only reconnect if I rebooted (most times, ). Thought it might be the radio, no change. So I flashed Spazedog ICS and everything seems to be back to normal.
EDIT: N/M, lost data today intermittently *sigh*.
Hey, I would like to create a Paranoid Android from source for the HTC Desire. I would like to know which donor files you had used in this ROM and how would I include them once I've synced the repositries?
N1 PA Update??
Am I missing something here, or is the last update for the N1/Passion still stuck at 1.97 / 1.4?
Plenty of 1.991 updates on goo.im backup, but none for Passion
successfully ported MIUI JellyBean to Nexus one, will provide a link/thread soon

Everything you need is there. Just my opinion but I think staying stock is your best bet. Theres no weird errors, everything works.
Im goona stay stock. I would just like to root it. thanks

Stock sucks, get yourself a nice custom ROM and kernel to fully enjoy the nexus. If you wanted to stay stock, you can trade it for an iPad mini. Customization is what makes android so much fun.

Good thing we've got these wonderful members at XDA to dictate what you should and shouldn't like. Please eat a sock and go back to your custom ROMs. If stock works for him, who are you to tell him he's wrong?
Welcome to the Nexus 7. I prefer stock too. Though I'm waiting on Chrome 28 for some faster browsing I must say it's really great over all.

If you just want to access files in the tablet as if it was a USB, just plug it in, no other driver needed.

Now all you have to do is download GMD gesture control (the free one). I went back to stock on my nexus 7 and am not rooted. I really wanted to try it on my tablet because it is great on my phone. Try it and see what you think. I would love to live vicariously through you right now. haha
I use official AOKP rom on my Galaxy Nexus and SmoothRom on my N7. Works great however I am thinking of throwing AOKP on my N7 too just for laughs and because it tested much faster then SmoothRom.
I like Smoothrom because they only release solid builds. I don't think they've updates the rom in months. But it just works well. I think I'm using MKernel. SmoothRom includes several kernels build as well as GAPPs. Its a All-In-One package which makes things easier. Once you flash it starts a setup where you can pick and choose lots of options like installing Android Browser and/or various kernels.

Who would like a easy flash modded stock rom?

I am thinking of creating a heavily modified stock rom (basically including all the mods/improvements I personally have done/like) to share with the community..
Would you guys like to see this?
If so, I may post one up in the next few days.. I just don't want to waste my time if people are not that interested

Do it!
We could use a few more roms.
Bring it on
Ok I might start work on one in the next few days..

Please do.
I'd love to see a fully de-bloated + modded flashable .zip
Something like slimKAT with stock kernel and full camera functionality would be super fast on this device
