Hi all
I just recently flashed my N1 with 2.2... and oh boy its laggy.
So now i want to get back on CM 5.0.6 or 5.0.7 but whats the best way?
Download cm, start up in recovery, wipe, and then flash cm?
im kinda confused with some of the expressions despite having read this forum for quite a while.
Thanx for any advice

Laggy? For real? Can i have some of those drugs?!?!
Hahaha but seriously did you wipe before installing froyo? Of all the things I've seen and experienced with it, lag is def not one of them.
You would need to downgrade (flash an older version) your radio (assuming you flashed a froyo update.zip that had the newer radio) since the froyo radio does not work with cyanogens rom.
Then, wipe and flash cyans rom + google apps.

Haha yes i find a lot of thing are quite buggy/laggy.. no didnt wipe. So maybe i will try that. Cant even record video?!?
Ok so let me just get this clear. There is firmware, and radio. So the radio can be in the firmware and/or seperate ? what does the radio do?

I would say with 99.99999% confidence the bugs and lag you are experiencing is from not wiping first. Assuming you were coming from cyanogenmod, flashign a "stock" rom ontop of an existing custom rom is most likely going to cause you nothing but problems!
Radio was packaged with the OTA (over the air) update and with the original link from the post above (to paul's froyo rom). An update.zip contains any number of things (whole os, patches, radio) and scripts to do those.
The radio is what lets your phone talk over wireless signals (to cell towers, wifi access points, etc (note, this is an extremely dumbed down definition, I know)). Radio updates can often times improve reception/signal.
Thank you for your explanation so i will try and wipe and then flash the rom in the link.
although i still miss color trackball, wake on trackball and other cm stuff lets hope 6.0 isnt to far away

you lost me you did a backup of cm before froyo? with recovery thingy?
does this backup everything? apps settings and so on? like a pc image? so i could set my system up and then make a backup with this?
Got it all working. and the new rom from the link is super.
Still missing a lot of cm improvements... but i guess thats just at matter of time

My guess is that Cyanogen aren't doing anything and won't do nothing until official Froyo is released.

I did this as well, no issues.
Why is the radio working, then? The nandroid backup don't backup the radio from cm?
I'm still with the stock froyo and about to upgrade.
But if i upgrade to CyanogenMod-6.1
1. How i can make sure that i keep all my applications and settings
2. how to understand if i need to update the radio as well
3. is there a point to upgrade now when gingerbread is just behind the corner and how long usually takes Cyanogen to incorporate the new build in his mod?
No body knows when Gingerbread will really be available for N1.
Just nandroid backup what you have now and flash back when GB is here.
Do a Nandroid backup & Titanium backup.
You can see your radio build at "settings-about phone-baseband version". The current radio is 5.08.00.04 or korean. Look at the android developement section.
Imo, you better try cm 6.1 first. Because, as i know of, there are no major change in gingerbread. But, who knows?
Hope it helps

there are huge underlying changes in gingerbread....
also latest stock radio is 4.06. the next official radio update is not out yet. 4.06 is fine with cyan. personally, seeing as gingerbread is probably gonna be hitting in the next few days (hopefully) i would wait
Thank you all!
What's the difference between Nandroid backup & Titanium backup?
How long took Cyanogen to implement 2.2 froyo in his rom?
If it's not too much i guess i flash now and then just re-flash with the gingerbread based cyanogen rom?

A nandroid backup is a complete backup of your rom. if you were to restore a nandroid, your phone will be exactly as it was when you did the backup, as if you took a snapshot in time. This allows you to try out different roms, or flash changes to your rom with low risk, as you can always revert.
A titanium backup backs your apps and data to your SD card, it allows you to move between roms and take your apps, the data in your apps, and your settings with you.

If it is anything like last time, google will push the OTA update, then drop the source code a few weeks later, give the Cyanogenmod team a few weeks to put out a release candidate. I'd expect you should be able to just flash the upgrade directly.
Btw, the Titanium back-up doesn't really seem to back up everything
For example i have to re-configure all my settings, desktops, re-set my accounts and it also has missed few applications.
Is that normal or i'm missing something?
other than that, i'm now happy with cyanogenmod 6.1, it's pretty cool
Are you backing up apps only or apps + user's data ect...
I heard it's better to just restore apps and re-enter data as
that work better. I don't know I've always had good luck restoring
users data.
there are a ton of awesome things in cyanogen 6.1 like HD video recording and FM radio. definitley worth the upgrade now, especially since it will be at least a month after gingerbread is released before cyan team gets something out. maybe longer cause the source isnt necessarily released the same day as the ROM. with froyo i think it was 1-2 months after release till cyan came out.
sorry i guess i didnt understand what you were saying about gingerbread, but if you want a stock gingerbread rom then it should be out within a few days (hopefully)
however, the source and cm gingerbread probably wont be out for a month till then.
basically, if you want root, you should go ahead and go for it now just in case 2.3 makes it harder to root without unlocking the bootloader. a cm based gingerbread wont be out for a while. you can always upgrade to a gingerbread cm later anyway.
if you want to stay stock and see if you like gingerbread then just wait lol
I'm with cyanogen now and happier than ever.
It's soo good that i can gladly wait till they implement rom with gingerbread as well.
p.s.
Gingerbread seems to be kinda ugly anyway

True, there are quite a lot of changes 'under the hood'.
4.06 is only still the latest official radio in the US. The ones sold in the rest of the world get 5.x-radios in their updates and have so since FRF91. They are also hardware-identical. As you say though, any radio from 4.06 and onwards is CM6-compatible.
Even though I hope Gingerbread will be released in a couple of days, perhaps when the Nexus S is released, but it could just as well take more time than that. CM 6.1 is a good way to enjoy the time until that happens.
I have always been an avid visitor of this forum and the wealth of knowledge of you developers out there really amazes me...
Ok, over to my query, i bought my LG O2x a week ago, and i am really fascinated by the number of custom roms available here and i would like to try out quite a few, the thing is, i really like the stock rom on my O2x, and after flashing it with one or two custom roms, i would like to go back to my stock rom
Can someone please send me links on how to take nandroid backup of my O2x, how to back up all applications and restore them, how to flash back my stock rom??
Appreciate any help in this regard...

I would check out this forum, there's a lot of great info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1002
EDIT:
Sorry, couldn't help myself. It can be confusing first time around. You need to install clockworkmod to do nandroid backups. A full backup will include all the applications.
Alternatively you can download titanium backup which will backup all your apps. That does require root, though.
Read the {Start here} thread to learn how to install cwm(clockworkmod) and how to root.

Nandroid backup is a FULL backup of your phone!
This means that It backups rom, sms, accounts, apps, widgets, and all the settings.
Titanium backup can backup all apps and settings "only".
They can be used together, and they are a must if you want to try new roms
I think this is the way to go:

It won't get more "stock" then this i think

I might have another question here, supposedly i take NANDROID backup through CWM recovery, can i flash the backup image again using CWM recovery?
If u use the modaco fr17 rom. Im on the fearkill rom u can use the stock launcher and install all the lg apps. Its like a smoother amd more stable version of stock that u r running

im using the first link... perfect rom. only in the screenshots he is using a diffrent launcher.
if u install the normal version (NOT THE VANILLA VERSOIN) u will have the stock launcher and u can use it like the stock rom. it is faster and stable and more thats all.
one should also note, that a NANDROID backup also backups the ROM itself, so if you revert to stock and start the NANDROID restore, you'll get the ROM you had before "stockifying" back.
I'd recommend TI Backup for apps and MyBackup Root for SMS/Settings. If you sync your contacts and calendar with google, I advise you to exclude these items when backing up.

Hi,
I haveandroid 5.0.2 stock rom rooted and xposed.
I recently be notified about a "little" Android 5 OTA update. After discussions, i undesrtood that if i want to make this update, i could have to reflash my rom, reroot mydevice, reinstall xposed, etc.., so i think i will skip it.
But if i skip it, will i be notified for "Android 6" ?
Thanks

Wrong section.
This OTA should be the stagefright fix., you will need this update to receive/install android 6. You have to be on the latest firmware to do so. But if you are rooted with custom recovery you will have to go back to stock anyway, so you can flash a firmware including this fix than.

Anyway, to update my phone to this stagefright fix Android 5 OTA and when i will update to android 6 OTA, i will have to flash stock "unrooted" firmware, so i will lost all my apps and data.
With my olders phones i used cyanogen mod to have a "pure Android" with some tweaks, but with my Motorola Moto G 2, which is already "pure Android", i was happy to use "only" Xposed for just the tweaks i want. BUT, i didn't understood that i could'nt update Android whithout the hard process of reflashing stock, reroot, reinstall xposed, reinstall my apps.....
So i'm thinking to flash Cynaogen mod on my Moto G 2, but could you confirm :
-Future update, including big one's like CM 12 to CM 13 can be installed without having to reflash anything and so without lost data ?
-I can install xposed and modules on Cyanogen firmware if i need extra tweaks not included in CM ?

Right, without this stagefrigth OTA you won´t be notified when further updates are available.
And yes, I´m talking about stock firmware. To receive OTA updates you´ll have to be on latest stock recovery/firmware and be unrooted.
You find all this things like firmwares http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/original-motorola-firmware-collection-t3153533, tutorials to flash them http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/restore-to-stock-t287365 or tools to do it automatically http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/tool-restore-to-stock-firmware-flasher-t3016236 and this really good one incl. stagefrightfix http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/official-stock-firmware-5-0-2-lxb22-46-t3019612 in this index:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/moto-g-2014-index-threads-t3033453 .
So you don´t need to have a nandroid backup to go back to stock.
But you will lose your apps and personal data of the internal memory, you can backup your apps with titanium but basically it´s the hard process.
Even if you use cyanogen mod you maybe can dirty flash the small updates, the step from cm12 to cm13 demands a clean flash and your data will be lost.
Xposed is working on all versions imho, rooted stock, cm or other custom roms. A lot of custom roms have a bunch of nice tweaks on board.
At the end of the day you have to options:
- Flash latest stock firmware and recovery (with the loss of your personal data) and wait for official motorola 6.0, then flash TWRP and root your device the recommended way. Flash/install your favorite tweaks and rootapps like xposed (There is a 6.0 OTA of the brazillian soaktest available, which works on XT1069 and XT1068 but I think that´s not what you are looking for).
- Choose one of the upcoming custom roms based on cm 13 sources which bring a lot of tweaks with it and can be used with xposed also. Some are already available but still have some bugs, you´ll have to decide if it´s worth to wait until everything is more stable (Your personal data will get lost also).
I´m on a custom rom and kernel and I will wait until my favorite rom will be availabe on 6.0 or another one will satisfy my needs as a daily driver.
Hope I could help you.

I would choose this option but if the "small updates : for instance from android 6 to android 6.." are not easier to do that whit rooted stock rom, i have no reason to switch to CM. I have all tweaks i want with xposed and 3 modules (gravity box, pbmc and APM+) but i just would to avoir to have to do a hard process each time there is an android update..
I´m on a custom rom and kernel and I will wait until my favorite rom will be availabe on 6.0 or another one will satisfy my needs as a daily driver.
Hope I could help you.

Yes you help me a lot, but some thing are not clear : advantage/inconvenients between rooted xposed stock VS custom rom : about update process only..
Thanks a lot !
If you are on latest stock rom you will be notified on your XT1068, no matter if you are rooted or not. You won´t be able to install it when you are not on stock rom/recovery and with system changes like xposed.
About updating:
Most custom roms are cm or asop based, so there is no big difference between CM "official" and other custom roms.
In some cases you can dirty flash the small steps (6.0 to 6.0.1 or something like that) which means you have not to wipe your data etc.
A dirty flash is often possible but not recommended because you can have problems like fc´s afterwards or even worse softbrick your device.
In most cases you have to clean flash a new version which always means take the hard road. But I did this procedure very often now and it takes me one evening to set up my phone incl. installing apps, tweaks and so on.
If you chose a stock rom with xposed and your favorite modules the update process is similar to the one on a custom rom as far as wiping is necessary. But you have to do some more work.
You have to flash stock recovery again, full unroot the phone and revert the system changes you made, often the much safer way is flash back to an untouched stock rom which includes a stock recovery. The stock recovery can be extracted from the firmware and is always part of it. So if you flash stock the recovery will become stock too.
The advantage of a custom rom is not just the inbuilt tweaks, they are often more fluid and battery friendly than stock roms,they are mostly pre-rooted and xposed works on the most of them too.
The update process depends on the rom here, sometimes you can dirty flash the small steps, sometimes it always needs a clean flash.
Hi
I've read all your explanations, thanks a lot, all is more clear for me now
If i try to resume, custom rom has these advantages against stock rom for the update process :
-No need to flash untouched stock rom before update.
-No need to reroot after update.
-No need to reflash custom recovery after update.
But both custom and stock rom has these inconvenients :
-Wipe necessary after updates. (sometimes littles updates can be did without wipe with custom roms).
So i think i prefer to choose custom rom, and i think that the best solution for me is to wait a CM 13 (android 6) stable release. Do you think it is a good solution ?
Thanks

Yes, you I think you've got the essential infos.
Waiting for a stable cm13 release is a good choice, but keep your eyes open, even now there are some modified roms based on asop/cm13 that have less bugs and glitches like original cm, Nexus experience http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3143528 as one example or the very promising Viper rom and kernel.:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3261838 just to name two of a lot good projects here on xda.
In the meantime you can try a 5.1.1 rom like minimal os which is rock stable.
But it's your choice when and what you going to try. Sometimes it needs a bit of experimentation.
Good luck!

As you are from france I suppose you have the european firmware on your XT1068 which is the one with "DSDSALL" in it´s name.
Please confirm that in your "about phone" settings (firmware version and build Nr) !
Just for your info: DE stands for germany,BR for brazil,GB for great britain and so on.
So if you are sure that you are on the european firmware the second firmware from above is the right for your phone: RETAILDSDSALL_XT1068_5.0.2_LXB22.99-16_cid7_CFC.xml.zip.
LXB22.99-16 is the latest 5.0.2 build.
If I helped you just hit the thanks button.

Yes, I think the stock firmware in the post above ( RETAILDSDSALL_XT1068_5.0.2_LXB22.99-16 ) has the latest update included. If not you should find one in the "easy stock installer" thread by @reefuge. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/official-stock-firmware-5-0-2-lxb22-46-t3019612 )

Hi,
I didn't made any flash since our last discussion and i'm always on Android 5.0.2 without stagefright fix. I will choose between CM13 (when it will be stable) and Stock MM when it will be official.
Meanwhile, i downloaded the update by mistake and it prompt me to install it every day. I can only report it but not fully cancel it.
Do you know how or where i can delete the downloaded file ?
I´ve been using 6.0 roms. But i want to test a 5.1. I know for it to work i have to flash a kernel. (like kryptonian kernel)
The question. If i want to come back to 6.0. What kernel should i use? I am new and i read a lot of things but i dont understand well ( AND I AM BRAZILIAN)
thanks guys!!
You have to back up current kernel and after you do whatever you want restore it.!!!!!

Backup your current rom in TWRP 3.0 including system data and boot.
Try whatever you want and when you are done with it restore backup to get your current rom.
