[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

cheerssss!!:laugh::laugh::laugh: now im on RocketRom v7 with franco r6 kernel,, superb guidance by noob1995:good:

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] 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.

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

[Q] How to root and install Custom rom On Galaxy note on LRL kernel

Hello Guys
I am a newbie here. My question is my Galaxy note is running on Android 4.0.4 on LRL kernel. Is it okay to root this kernel and install a new custom kernel? Can you guys give me some direction? Thanks in advance

goto philz thread and download the kernel for your rom build. Flash it from stock recovery. Stock ics kernels are not safe. This is safe kernel. you will auto root when you install this kernel

Hello Sir
Thanks for ur reply. But can you explain what do u mean by not safe? Sorry I am quite new here

Go through this

Stock ICS kernel has a brick bug which could erase your phones critical files and render it useless. So when on ICS Stock roms always install a safe kernel.
Wiping in recovery when on a stock kernel is dangerous and can trigger the bug

[Q] Which rom to choose now i am on Philz Safe Kernal ?

O K so i have just flashed Philz Safe Rom XXLRK-XEU from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191 to my note and everything seems as it should but i am a little confused as to what roms i can apply. Firstly apologies if this is in the wrong place my head is a bit all over the place after reading a lot this morning deciding if it is safe to start rooting/flashing my note, my only previous experience of this was through odin for my sgs2 so i am new to the note scene.
Ideally i would love to put paranoid android on from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662802 but i am cautious that the install logs states not to install this rom from a stock kernal which is pretty much was philz kernal is isnt it ???
if anyone can help a newbie to the note scene out i would be greatly appreciated as i am getting confused going through all the searches i have done this morning
Hope you can helpo - cheers
KV3

when you flashed Philz Safe Rom XXLRK-XEU.. your note is already rooted now.
This kernel is safe and you can flash the PA rom with no issues. Just follow the procedure in the PA thread.

Thank you - i will check it out and report back
Is this the case with all roms or just the PA rom, am i to presume that the "safe" kernal is just that and i can go and try out a few roms just as i did with my sgs2 ?
Thanks
KV3

Yes.. but when you flash a new rom, the kernel will change to whats included in the rom. In between if you choose to flash stock ICS again, need to take caution to move to safe kernel again

thanks again for the quick responses - is it best practise to always reflash a safe kernal after the rom has been installed, so in the case of me flashing PA rom i can then reflash Philz safe kernal - i am sure i will get to grips with it all there just seems to be more risks involved with the note / ICS than when i was working with my sgs2
Cheers

No. All custom roms will have a safe kernel in built. Philz won't work with custom roms as it's a stock kernel. Best is hydracore but that does not work with the JB leaks of Samsung TW

all up and running and everything seems great with the PA rom - no complaints here yet but i havent had much chance to play with things with work and all that other stuff so thanks again nokiamodeln91 i have clicked your thanks button for all your help

Yes, you can safely factory reset on Philz kernel :good:
2nd question is a wrong question to be asked here on XDA, as it is Best rom question. Also, I have not used both, so I cannot answer that question. Sorry

I am very sorry If I violated any of the rules by best I just meant a feature like comparission maybe like verus thing. Because their Features arent listed so clearly.. more so like someone to point out the difference beetween the two...

Look the paranoid android will be a stable ROM but you'll have more features in the other hybrid ROM. It's your choice. ROMs by beerbong are very good and stable
I'd personally recommend you the P.A.C. ROM also by beerbong. It has all the features you look in a custom ROM, AOKP, CM, PA. PAC ROM is the way...

Hi Varad297,
I would recommend that Rom too, currently using it on my ZTE Blade and on my HP Touchpad and love it.... I plan to upgrade my ZTE Blade to a N7000 come October and been asking a few questions as I am new to this beast (N7000 and all its bricking problems) but not new to Android...
I asked a question a while ago, but still waiting for it to be answered so perhaps you could advise as you know this ROM.
The N7000 I will be getting will come with Vodafone UK official stock JB rom, (Android 4.1.2 I believe). However i want to take it to PAC 22:40 (based on Android 4.2.2).
However I am confused as to which Philz recovery kernel I would need? And how (what to look for) in the kernel when choosing...? Philz seems to be the most recommended one, but there are so many to choose from....
thanks, Lister

You mean which Philz kernel you'd need to flash PAC? I flash my ROMs on the CWM recovery as i do not trust the Philz kernel doue to some problem while flashing certainAOSP ROMs on the CWM-based recovery provided with the Philz kernel. I'd rather suggest you yo flash ROMs on a CWM recovery like that which comes with the CM kernel.

if you are rooted you can add S4 and Note 2 features yourself (pretty easy) from Themes and Apps section. if you still want TW rom then you can try:

You have the zip files for TW launcher along with tweaks in it like AccuWeather widget n stuff, all flashable in recovery. Do visit the apps n themes section
