[Q] Flashing CNA 1.4 over Onecosmic 3.1

Hello! I'm thinking of flashing the latest release of Codename Android(1.4.0) on to my Samsung Galaxy S i9000, currently running OneCosmic's RC 3.1. I hace no problems with the rom but i would like mor options etc.
In the CNA thread it states that a full wipe is neccesary, but I have read in the thread that you dont have to do a data wipe if you're comming from 1.3.3. Now, my question is this, do I have to wipe data comming from OneCosmic RC 3.1? And if I have to, is Titanium Backup working properly for ICS?
Thanks!

It's better to make a full wipe.
And yes, TB works with ICS ...
So it's no problem to make a full wipe and restore apps with TB. Only a few minutes of work ...

[Q] Dark Knight V4

V4 was released today and I have the following questions:
1) Download link not working
2) Does the modem have better wifi reception
3) Are there any included launchers
Thanks

1) http://www.mediafire.com/?3d6da7j5i306v7u - That link works.
2) Test different modems and see which you get the best with, at the minute my best is JVU.
3) Probably not, check? Also you can get more from the market / on here.

2. All Dark Knight Roms got no Modem pre installed. If you got a modem, u will keep it after flashing from ur earlier installations.
3. Try Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher from market.
Dark Knight rom got an pre installed Nova Launcher and this one runs very smooth (except the sporadic rom bugs )

TV
someone can say if digital tv is working in dark knight 4?

In this case how can I flash KB3 and where can I find it?
Also would you suggest formatting to ext4 and how should I do it so that I don't lose anything?

Hey guys, i flashed V4 and now my phone is stuck at the bootanimation (i had it booting for 20 min). I did a full wipe, wiped cache, wiped dalvik and even tried to reflash. Any suggestions?
edit: i got it working after 3rd reflash

I didnot like it.....

My suggestion: wait for an update
I have tried switching from V3 to V4 yesterday. I encountered problems with Titanium and GPlay kept FCing so I returned to my backup of the stable V3.
V4 was rushed out so I´m waiting for the next update.

Did you directly flash the ROM ? In that case you may face FCs often.
Better take a nandroid backup.
wipe cache and data
flash the rom
Rebot and let the phone start
Go to recovery and then from backuo and restore -> advanced restore -> select the backup you did -> restore data
I moved from Elite V7.1 to Dark Knight 4 and dint face any such issues.

in my case titanium crashed while restoring and couldn't complete the process.I think I'll stay on gb rom all the way till a gb-stable-and-smooth- like ics rom comes out.

I did a backup of DK V3 to which I returned.
I wiped dalvic cache, data and cache and then flashed. I will try again and see what happens

I think it includes the devil kernel because I when i flashed V3 over stock ROM it changed to Devil Kernel

Stability
I can confirm that Dark Knight v.3 is much more stable than v.4.
Upgrading to v.4 I found these bugs:
1) After the first reboot I activated the wi-fi toogle and it started to switch on and off repeatedly. The system error that appears every time forces you to reboot the device.
2) Many users reported problems with titanium backup (I didn't try it)
3) Trying to move an application to USB (SD) causes a hotboot ( !!!! )
4) The new "Dark Knight" application crashes if you try (f.ex.) to install a new theme or a new battery icon ... after this crash you can no more change the battery icon from the ROM control menu.
I upgraded from Dark Knight 3, wiping everything before flashing as recommended. I made a second try upgrading from the original gingerbread 2.3.3 by Samsung (and wiping everything of course). The result was the same in both cases.

Stable DK4
If someone has flashed a stable DK V4 pls post the procedure that you have performed

Thought of going after this rom. But its better to wait for some better version in future with lesser bugs

I've tested a lot and I liked Miuiv4 and other builds of miui. But wasn't happy with the battery life. Not happy about ICS. Then I found this review:
http://bit.ly/IeL9Hi
[ROM ICS]Tiramisu+ I.C.E. A.G.E. V.1.8 I'M DIFFERENT! [ANDROID 4.0.4][CNA 2.0.0]
This ROM is the best of all that I tested. Very simple to install and modify if your not happy about a kernel or modem or launcher or fonts etcetera.

You coming from which Rom ?

I wouldn't recommend you to use MIUIv4 roms right now, but that doesn't mean you can't. I tried WEUI 4.0.4, very unstable, bad battery life and it kept rebooting for some reason. I didn't like it that much, except the UI looks fantastic. Now running CM9 and I love it

Are you on cwm 5.5? If not, that's the reason.

ONLY TIRAMISU V. 1.7 I.C.E. A.G.E. and later
As always:
- Of course 100% charged battery and recalibrated (4-5 charging cycles)
- ESSENTIAL Having a backup of EFS folder!
Case 1 We are already on ICS? (Any Rom, Any Version, Any 4.0 +)
1) From Recovery Making Wipe of Data - Cache - Dalvik and only Format of System
2) Install the ROM
3) Restart
Case 2 We are on GB? (Froyo, Eclair, Donuts?)
1) After Flask Stock GB
2) After Flash modded Kernel
3) Flashing a kernel ics (I put the last midnight)
4) Once installed restart the phone, it goes bootloop -> remove the battery and put it back
5) Enter in recovery and then wipe all
6) Flashing the ROM
7) Restart

Not stable...
I had installed several versions of MIUI's and I can tell you that they're not stable. At least from my experience.
My last rom is MIUI V4 ASNET. Quite good. Battery wise is just ok when 3G is off that is. Out of nowhere, it kept fc's on me. Then I rebooted the phone. It entered CWM and I wasn't able to boot the phone after that. It kept going into CWM. The only way was to reflash the rom.
Currently, just flashed stock JVU with cf-root and thinking about the next rom to try.

MIUI V4 is not stablest ICS but in MIUI v4s this one is best:

Flashing ICS 4.0.4 stock w/ touchwiz from ParanoidAndroid v.0.5

Hi guys,
I recently got a n-7000, but before I read all the threads with the issues, that you can brick it and stuff I rooted it and installed Paranoid Android v 0.5 with a CM9 on 4.0.4. Needless to say all the S-pen apps are now unavailable and what I have is a bigger S 2. I love it and all don't get me wrong, and kudos to the developer for such a great hybrid, but I'm interested in the stylus as well because for me this is a replacement of a tablet.
My baseband is N7000XXLA3
Now I want to change my version to [ROM ICS404 LR6 08-8-12]~CleaNote 5.00~stock~root~NoteCore~Salty Snake edition and I was wondering do I just flash it over? Do I go back to a stable GB? What is the best way to do it?
I apologise before hand for any tech mistakes I made as I am a noob and thank you in advance for all the help.

When you are moving from different base (CM to ICS), I recommend to flash pre rooted GB ROM first, wipe cache, delvic cache,data and then update to newer ICS based ROM using CWM. This is safest way.

Thanks a lot doctor . However, my baseband is LA3 and the cleanote uses LR6. after i revert to the stable GB KJ1 do I install an LR6 ICS or can I just flash the Cleanote software?

Go directly to flash clearnote from KJ1.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S+ Questions

A few days ago I had 2.3.6 and updated to [ROM][ICS][IMM76L] CyanogenMod 9 RC (Build 2).
I made a backup before this, with CWM6. If I want to have my original android, 2.3.6, all I have to do is to restore that backup with CWM6?
Second question: I want to install [JB][ROM][CM10]SmoothieJB™ Smooth,Stable, Fast ϟ - v2 08.12.12. The instalation tutorial says this:
Installation
• Take a full backup ( be sure to do this )
• Wipe data and cache.
• Flash Smoothie-v2.zip.
• Flash Gapps.
• Fix Permissions
• Reboot.
• Most important step : Enjoy!

This is for Ginger only or for me too?
What "Fix Permissions" means? When I installed CM9, I didn't have to do that.
And something else: What is the best ROM for this

Doesn't matter if GB,ICS or JB, all I want is to be fast, no lag. I don't care about gaming, I play sometimes small games, not GTA and games that need resources.

First Question - I don't know about this , but if you want to restore it , you need to full wipe first and then restore
Second Question - Just go the Advance panel at CWM and fix permission
Third Question - Try using CM9 by Acro or latest CM10 by Ivendor

I have CM9 by arco: [ROM][ICS][IMM76L] CyanogenMod 9 RC (Build 2)
CM10 by Ivendor is better for what I need?

For me CM9 is more stable than CM10 , but it's up to you , there many plenty ROM in the forum

Just restore it from backup with CWM6. You can do full wipe first if you want but I don't think it's necessary. The only thing I suggest you to do is do backup your existing CM9. From now you will have 2 backups: GB & CM9 just in case something goes wrong with restoring. I would not expect you to brick the phone with restoring the backup - I have done it 100 times already and nothing like this has never happened to me.

First question:
you should flash a gb rom first because on my old phone (galaxy ace) the stock samsung rom use another file system
and 3. question, i think cm10 is much smoother and more battery friendly than cm9 but just try yourself

Re: 1st question - I tested this today on my own phone. If you want to restore either GB, ICS or JB you don't need to wipe anything and you don't need to instal any roms at first. All you need to do is restore backup. It is because recovery formats partitions and wipe all data before it restores from backup.

1st question: just restore the backup without Doping anything before
2nd one: the guide is for every Rom except smoothie JB then you have to only wipe cache and dalvik cache
Fix permissions is under advanced
3rd: if you want ics try cm by arco or biohazard and the castagnait kernel 7.5 extreme uv
And if you want JB try cm10 by ivendor or aokp Jb by crybert and the actual 2.6 diablo kernel
Hope i helped
