I was wondering how perfect of a restore a CWM restore is.
I was running a custom GB ROM (rocket rom to be exact) and it was running flawlessly. I then decided I might try this new CM9 ICS ROM.
So to be sure about the CM9 install, I figure I'd install from a stock GB Rom. So I first did a CWM backup of my current rocket rom and then I restored an older stock (rooted) ROM. It seemed to work fine. Then.... after reading about the (few) issues wit this new CM9 rom I decided I'd wait a bit longer until a few more of the quirks are worked out.
So I then restored back my Rocket rom backup and even doing the flash cache and davik cache also. But now I notice my once working Rocket ROM is experiencing a lot of SODs.
So now I'm wondering how perfect my restore was. I really don't have a lot of apps or wireless networks and can easily restore my contact list. For that reason, do you think it'll help if I do a factory reset wipe and then reinstall everytyhing....or even go so far as reinstall rocket rom and then reinstall everything else manually without any restores...would that be really the best clean install....or would any of this not make a difference at all and wiping/reinstall a toatl waste of time and my prob is actuaully something else....
Thanks
I could do with knowing the answer to these questions too.
It would be good to get a detailed idiots guide to CWM, do's and don't's etc.
Well a clean install will surely get you rid of the SODs. There is some app and its data that is conflicting with the system and crashes the whole phone. So if you are ready to clean install everything that will fix everything

sleep of death, its the device not waking up properly from sleep
Pus it doesnt include efs, so its not complete backup. Handy if yu stay n same rom version, but thats likely not.
Squicky clean install is always best. Even only app and data recovering thought titanium can mess things up. Make it laggy and nonfunctional etc, Blegh

1. Install abyssnote42
2. Factory wipe, cache, dalvik
3. Restore your rocketrom backup
That's what i do with my rocketrom v23 backup
Zapped through server hops to XDA forums
its not perfect but its the best so far
all i can say is that cwm is the best and simple thing for me so far and if u get trouble some times while trying to shift from CM9 to normal ics or from gb to ics all I suggest is use redpill recovery from abbysnote

Yeah, mine does that from the clock on Dragon ICS 2.4 when charging it didn't use to, started since I started Dual Booting. 2.5 is out in the next hour or so according to the Dev page. Hope it fixes an otherwise awesome ROM.. Otherwise it's back to single booting and possibly on to Omega 12 until CheckROM is released..
I have a issue that when I use the ICS or JB ROM,the starting animation keeps flashing.When the tablet finishes booting,lock the screen and then unlock it the flashing will stop.Anybody has the same problem?
Plus the tablet will sometimes turns on itself after I turn it off.
If someone can help me solve those problem,I really appreciate it.
Thanks!
I have same problem with mine...somebody told me it's somehow related to undervolted screen or something. I'm no expert, but you can find my thread if you search for screen artifacts on my tab, I think.

These issues are already being discussed on the threads. You are dealing with ALPHA (JB) and mostly BETA (ICS) ROMs so bugs are to be expected. The only game we can play is the waiting game until devs get official source for some drivers and keep fixing stuff. If you want something stable, you can always go back to stock Honeycomb 3.2 firmwares.

I had the same problem when I first installed JB. The instructions I read did not say that you need to wipe the data, cache, and davlik cache (under Advanced in CWM Restore). I wiped those and it booted just fine.
This was my first root / custom ROM install, that was the only real bump in the road for me.

Every ROM requires a full wipe if you want a trouble-free experience apart from the ROM bugs, especially with an alpha. An alpha ROM is not suited for newcomers so, you should've started with something basic, something stable as Overcome for example, in order to learn the basics of flashing and everything. You were lucky you didn't break anything.
Hey guys, I'm having a problem
Sorry if I'm posting this in a wrong area
Well, I'm using CyanogenMod 7.2.0 stable by Kabaldan for Milestone A853. Then I tried to install CyanogenMod 9 Nightly (from Skrilax build bot), the latest version. Everything was going well, then when I tried to boot, a screen about "Android is updating applications" appeared, and then after updating, the phone hard rebooted, back to the M logo. Then I left it booting again, and it rebooted again, though this time the update screen didn't appeared. Sometimes I get the first screen to appear, but I can't even touch the phone because it reboots before I try to do so. I tried installing CyanogenMod 10 (Skrilax nightly build bot again) and the same error happened! What is happening to my phone? I've never found anyone with this problem
Please help me! Thanks.
Did you perform a full wipe before applying CM9/10?

If by full wipe you mean the three wipe options in OpenRecovery (Dalvik, Data and Cache) then yes. I even deleted the /system folder and nothing!
UPDATE: I tried to install CM10, removed system, data and cache through ADB and dalvik cache, installed CM10 and gapps. When booting, the first screen asking for language rapidly appears, and reboots. I tried to boot again, then I rapidly touched the screen when the screen appeared, and it didn't reboot! Well, that's better, but CM10 is too lagged for daily use, that's why I want to install CM9!
I'm using CM10 from couple of days..
I get enough RAM to run apps that I daily use...check for unwanted apps that are not being used, disable it through hwa setting app. Just use it for a day .. IMO CM10 is better than CM9.
BTW I removed gtalk, maps, email, exchange service and other unwanted apps from OR...which I don't use at all..

If nothing solves your problem, you should reflash the SBFs and start all over again. I had to do this sometimes. Formatting the SDCard (after backing-up your personal data) also helps to prevent this from ocurring.
Well, never mind, I was robbed saturday. Thanks for the help folks
Sad! But it's a chance to get a better phone. Good luck!

and BPSW for 2.1.1 is needed? or optional?
It's optional.
You only have to wipe data,dalvik-cache and data (you will lose all your information, so backup everything) and to create an ext partition on your sdcard.

yeah I know, I read the dev thread but can't make replies there. I am now on CM10 from 09/24 (last 4.1.1) and considering about CM10 4.2 but I was little bit confused about BPSW. And will there be problem If I will uprgade from 2.2? Because I don't have nandroid backup of 2.1
(FYI, the current CM10 is based on Android 4.1.2.
4.2 will be the next version of Android and probably CM11 will be based on it.)
Anyway, i upgraded from 2.2 to 4.0.4 and then to 4.1.1 and now 4.1.2.
I believe you can upgrade from 2.2 to 4.1.2 without any problem.
(but always make a nandroid before upgrading)
Yes, it's perfectly possible upgrade from 2.2 Stock ROM, although it's more difficult to root it.
I did it without any problems.
Is there any difference between upgrading from 2.1 or from 2.2?

Yeah, sorry for that mistake, my fault. I upgraded from 2.2 to 4.0.4 and now I have 4.1.1. I tried to upgrade to 4.1.2 from 4.1.1 but it was laggy (10/16 and 10/17) so I restore it back to 4.1.1 which is pretty stable and I will wait to better time for this upgrade, because it is my main phone and my boss is upset when I am not available when he calls me

I've read somewhere, that one must upgrade to 2.2 because upgrading from 2.1 will cause problem with some hardware module.

Kabaldan is working on it. It seems, if the CPU's clockspeed is under 600MHz, then something is wrong with the GPU performance. (So you should consider using Performance CPU governor.)

I know that someone wrote it in dev thread for CM9 or CM10, but my battery is pretty weak, I am glad that with Juice defender it lasts for 12 hours and Performance governor is pretty aggressive to battery drain. Anyway thanks for answering my nooby questions
I see people have less chances to deal with call issues if they install CM10 through the clean way.
Please DON'T vote if you didn't install CM10 "correctly" and DON'T mention another issues here beside network related.
I think everyone has issues with CM10 no matter what....
At least one bug I got all the time: You can't make a video call in gtalk, it gets FC'ed immediately.

he's talking about calling through the cellular network, not gtalk or other issues. Please keep on topic.
I did a clean install of CM10 from the very start and had no call issues. I did experiment with an SU660 baseband before returning to V21b - and that also required a clean install. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.
The problem I see here is what do you consider a clean install? I am not so sure myself.
Is smartflashing a BB then install CM10 clean enough?
I think of my installation as clean because
1) I came from CM7 (Temasek's last kang) after a factory reset.
2) Before that, I came from NVflash of Homero's ROM to recover from a corrupted CM9 leak flash
Since the first Nightly, I didn't have the "no audio in network calls" EXCEPT once with a Viber call where the other side could not hear me. It was fixed with a reboot.
BTW, I smartflashed 1 time during the 2-3rd nightly, to match RC's BB...
Now on yesterday's Nightly, 6 November, with auto time zone working finally.

Oops sorry, I missed the "call".
Anyways, I always do a clean install, and I always get the audio bug (First nightly, and nightlies 3 and 4).
i have no problem on clean install.. wipe data partition,wipe cache,then advance wipe dalvic cache then format/system and format/cache then install zip from sd card,then wait till finish then use it more than 2 mins then reboot again to recovery then flash the gapps,then reboot.. voila i have no call issue,so far.. BTW i came from CM7 of gueste v3.7..

the problem i think like new2city posted is misconception regarding clean install (full wipe)...
i myself didnt know what full wipe was but i googled it as i needed for flashing paranoid android rom(as it was my first custom rom) n what i found was...
1) wipe data/factory reset
2) wipe cache partition
3) mounts and storage/ format cache,data and system
4) advanced/ wipe dalvik cache
i do this before every installation whenever possible..
correct me if im wrong
EDIT: oops sorry didnt read the above post properly..
Allways did clean install. First time had audio problem after a few calls. Problem was gone when i changed bb
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium
why wait for 2 minutes?, before installing gapps. every time i just install it right after the nightly install finishes
up untill nightly 05 (always with clean install) tried like 5 different basebands and still had problems, am back gueste hybrid for now or if someone actually makes a stock-like ics I'll go there cause I need stability over nice and new software and to actually be able to use the phone side of my optimus at all times . I LOVE CM but for now it's a only a hassle.
the issues with calls dont appear just after flashing a new rom..they take from some hours to a day or two to start.
i reverted to cm7 with a nandroid backup with a factory wipe and...
cm10 call bug and plugging in the charger bsod bugs showed up
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium
I continue with the problem
clean is installed, it worked perfectly after a day the problem a terrible noise.
Reinstall one baseband and followed the problem ..
Even if nothing gets fixed, thanks for this thread, now I've REALLY flashed a clean install
I formatted everything, my phone was even unbootable!!! Put the latest nightly in the external sd card and had to hold volume down to access CWM! It might be random or placebo, but the instead of the phone being a bit unresponsive at first, like the other times I flashed, it was great right from the first boot!! Even if doesn't fix the audio bug, thanks for this
Cheers!
With latest nightly of CM10 and clean instal i have more issues then before... very strange... i have baseband v20s and i am from Romania
I've got a GT-I9350, and I've been on RipperROM for a while, and I just flashed v20 onto my phone.
Now I can't receive any phone calls at all, the ringtone goes, but the screen goes black, then com.android.phone crashes.
Tried wiping my data, clearing google framework, all that, still doesn't work. I'm in desperate need of help this is killing me.
Try reflashing the rom or install your back up
Tried both, tried downloading a fresh version of RipperROM, wiped all my data, cache, dalvik, several times, fixed my permissions, and it's still crashing.

It doesn't happen if I haven't flashed JB Domination Theme btw.
In general I'm getting FC in almost every rom I flash. Really don't know why it's gone this bad. I switched from PA to RipperROM because my phone app started suddenly acting up.
Now since this post I've tried a few roms.
Flash PA -> get a crash trying to log on to google account (google framework FC)
Flash Sentinel -> ASOP Keyboard FC, can't write anything, back button doesn't work
Flash RipperROM -> I have a functional phone as long as I don't flash any themes, don't trust this to last at all
Should I go back to stock in odin and then root again?

There is a stock pre-rooted rom for odin.
Maybe try Slim Bean rom?
