[Q] Rom and flashing material

I am generally new (noob) if you will to dev for androids. I am rooted, over clocked, add free and other thing but what I haven't tried yet is getting new roms, kernels, etc. I would like to learn these functions so I can upgrade my phone. Does anyone have and material, websites, etc. on flashing or installing different roms that I.can look over to learn about the process and how to do it exactly? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I can't imagine how your over clocked if u haven't flashed a different kernel. Anyways look around the general section, you may have to dig alittle but all the info your looking for is here.

You can use stock kernel and overclock at the same time.

I finally tried it last night but I.got stuck in a loop I believe.. I tried flashing thriller.. lucky I installed cwm recovery and had backed up my last phone. When I flash a.new Rom do I have to return the phone to factory settings? The tutorial I was using was for the old version on cwm recovery and didn't translate to the new one so I basically had to make an educated guess.

This is exactly what I did. I installed cwm recovery. I.backed up my phone. I downloaded the thriller zip. Connected my.phone to computer and cut and pasted the thriller zip folder onto my SD card. I booted in cwm recovery. And clicked install from SD I found the thriller Rom and downloaded it. Once it was done I clicked re booted normally and when I did this it only showed a bunch of colors coming.g together into and x and did that for 10 minutes until I booted into cwm recovery again and restored from my latest back up. Anything I did wrong or didn't do? Any help would be appreciated.

Not quite sure what your asking but yes if i was you when you flash a knew rom do three wipes, factory,cache,davik. if you dont it could cause boot issues.

Extremely unnecessary wipes.
Factory reset does these three things.
Wipes /data
Wipes /cache
Wiping dalvik-cache is useless in a factory reset as "dalvik-cache" is stored in "/data".

OK so from your experience am I doing it right except for the factory wipe? Or are the wipes unnecessary? Thanks for the print responses too!
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app

Its important to know what version software your running. I believe the thriller rom only works on android software version 2.2 aka froyo. If your phone is running 2.3 gingerbread that would be the reason why the rom didn't work. Check in settings>aboutthisphone>androidversion to see which software you've got. I'm relatively new to all this also but I hope I helped

I'd suggest always doing a wipe when going from ROM to ROM.
This is how I do my wipes.
NANDROID current ROM
Flash new ROM
If I even see one force close, I factory reset.

@lestat.. but when I do wipe it.. doesn't it wipe the SD card too? Like when I hit factory settings does it clear SD as well?

I'm not sure on that as I always use ClockworkMod to factory reset.
It doesn't touch your SDcard.

You'll have to try the ROMs for yourself. I can't say for myself as a dev.

I personally like thrill seeker. The original developer had to give up on it because he's been busy, but another dev (Bdadd34) has picked it up and is continuing to work on it. I like it because its stable and very simple to flash and I don't have to flash to a different baseband (which I've never tried). Also from reading on here for a while I know lestat's acidhazard rom is a favorite among most not only for the thrill here in the US, but also for a lot O3D users. His is a rom kitchen so you pretty much build the rom with features you want. its still a little over my head but lestat has a great reputation on here for being super helpful. I'm sure he'd explain it much better or just check out his website which I'm sure a link is in the post for his rom.

I'm using Dark's acidhazard rom with acura's beast 1.3 extreme low voltage kernel. I have no complaints and the support from dark is incredible. I'm on v20p too and I haven't experienced any ghost calls yet. *knocks on wood* I would definitely recommend acid hazard..

I tried to flash thrill seeker to it but it put my phone in a loop so I don't know what's going on.. I don't think I know enough yet. Any suggestions. Play by play would be nice.

there is no way to fix the stock ROM (N7000DDLPA) ?

Please help me...... still i am suffering from this issue.

What i believe is U need hard reset, but on ICS it is not advisable
So first take backup
Flash GB
WIpe cahe n data
Reflash ICS
Restore application backup.

I did the same few weeks ago for some other reason so again. ...
There is no any other option dear?
Or what if I re-flash the same Rom by pc-odin? Advise please.....

Thanks Ketan ji, i am also facing this problem.i do believe that your suggested solution is working & fixing the issue.But my concern is that what is causing this issue? I mean is it ICS or the clipboard function and or keyboard or cache? What is it & how can we detect it & can fix it for good while being on stock rom.

let just started having this problem out of the blue on my sgsIII.
Only a hard reset fixed it since I am not rooted
What could be causing this?
I think Google Chrome may be the issue

Black screen of death and nandroid backup hangs

Hi,
Currently I am using Criskelo's ICS V11.2 LRK with speedmod kernel just flashed 3 days ago.But in these 3 days,i had 2 screen of deaths.I tested by calling my own number and the phone is still on,but black screen.So i had to pull out battery and reinsert them and reboot.The SOD happened randomly.
So I would like to change kernel to NoteCore and see if it helps with the SOD.But I was doing a nandroid backup first in case but it always hangs halfway.Tried twice,one to internal SD,the other to external SD,but it will hang after a while.
So now I am afraid of doing anything else and would like to ask how am i going to go forward.Initially i am thinking of either flashing kernel zip in CWM or in aroma installer but i am afraid it might hang like the backup process.As this is my first time using aroma installer apart from flashing the ROM, can i ask if aroma installer has the likelihood of hanging just like my CWM hung?
Thanks!

Can i flash any ROM since i am on speedmod kernel already which is deemed safe?Any chance of flashing ROM and it hangs halfway?:crying:

why don't you do a more safe way. downgrade to GB and start over again from scratch.

You can use " triangle away" to reset binary count and remove yellow triangle.

Hi there,
I managed to flash back to rooted GB then to stock ICS,afterwards to custom ICS.
Big thanks to you for pointing it out that it's was partial root problem which enable me to find the cause.
Btw,since i go from stock ICS to custom ICS,changing ROMs should not have any root problems already right?

[Q] Please someone help me with SMS app problem

i guys, today i am using ICS 4.0.3(Claro BR) on my Note, the official firmware, rooted but never flashed any ROM(Don't wanna wipe) and this morning i was trying to install some modded SMS apps(I was really angry with automatic conversion to MMS on long texts). I used CWM and flashed an app without backing up the old one, the app doesn't work and i can't get the original back. Can someone please help me?

I would be very grateful if someone with the stock ROM post their MMS.apk so i can try to i install it.

You have a few options while on the road.
1. Download a third party MMS app from play store.
2. Reflash your ROM using mobile Odin
3. Download the 4.0.3 ROM. Extract the necessary file using root explorer. Place it in /system/app and set proper permissions.
Other things you can do too...but sounds like those would be easiest for you

Maybe you want to heed the following advice: Always make a Nand backup before you alter system apps/ files. If you have a Nand backup you can always restore your rom like it was before you did the modifications.

Yeah in es, you can locate the /system/app folder in the tar file.
Locate the appropriate file.
Copy it to your /system/app.
Next step is crucial- set proper permissions. Just do it the same as all other other files.
If you have problems you can always dirty flash the ROM
NOTE TO YOU AS A NEW USER. KNOW THAT STOCK ICS 4.0 KERNELS ARE UNSAFE AND IF YOU DO A FACTORY RESET YOU MAY KILL YOUR NEW PHONE. Please read the stickies on brick bug and you can install philz kernel to avoid issues.

If you havent got cwm, flash a cwm recovery image (with a new kernel... Dunno what system files u removed so...) using odin or heimdall.
Next: flash the rom of your likings after a full wipe.
After all that: BACKUP (using cwm).
