[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!

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.

Staxx is dangerous. it crashes like crazy. Flash it but keep abyss kernel and other ROM in sd card handy just in case. Try both and share your experience. All the best.and do not restore back up in either.go ahead.

Absolutely nothing wrong. I just went looking for my movie folder on my sd card. Nothing other then this. staxx crashed suddenly. What ever brief movement I spent on staxx I enjoyed it but I couldn't dare try it again at least not until I find out what I did wrong. Have you tried to access files on sd card through ol file manger that comes with this wrong. In the recovery I tried 'report error' option and the error was some thing like PATH TO SD CARD. Any ways I am happy you are enjoying it. Hopefully I will try once my confidence in the ROM is back.

Crash in this case means my note suddenly slipped into boot animation screen of paranoid and hung there for a very long long time. I had to shut down the phone by removing battery after rebooting. .. again I was struck. ..then I rebooted to recovery installed staxx again but I never got passed the boot screen. This is what I meant when I said staxx crashed.

still under construction. as of right now you have to build it yourself, although nrvate may be releasing something depending on how stable it can become.

Hey you need to get TWRP installed and then you should be good from there. Find the TWRP forum back a page then follow the instructions there. If you have never flashed a recovery before there are really good instructions in the CWMR thread. You might try flashing CWM first if you are a noob (I used CWMR for a while and it's a great recovery too) . Basically you need to get odin, and the adb drivers for your device. Turn your device off and put it in download mode (Power button and both volumes, then release power once it vibrates). Have odin ready with your custom recovery in the PDA slot. Once your device plugged in and in d/l mode odin will recognize it (if not you did something wrong).

Depends on what you mean by stable. While most features seemed to work okay, for me video play-back was horrible. Videos skipped and lagged. Since video playback is a major thing for me it's a deal breaker as it stands. I hope it in the future it gets fixed. Other than that though.. all was good with it

[Q] Installing jelly bean on S Advance

hey guys,
i just had a couple of questions regarding the upgrade of S advance to jellybean via odin..I'll appreciate any help that i can get..
1. is there any chance that i might brick the phone during the process?
2. if i do manage to flash jb successfully on my device, do i void my warranty?
3. i have read somewhere that once jb is installed,i might face some network problems and problems in video playback. are these common?
thanks in advance guys..
Rushil

1. Very small... but yes (if you install wrong firmware, have the wrong device (i9070p), disconnect during installation)
2. No, it does not increase the binary counter.
3. No

Thanks.. Just one more thing... Do i have to reset my phone to factory settings before or after the update, if at all?

It's recomended but you can skip and do that if something goes wrong.

[Q] Is my Tab dead?

I've been running CM 10.1 on my 7310 for a couple of months - it's slow, but it does the job.
Today it started misbehaving more than usual, so I rebooted. It's spent the afternoon rebooting itself about once every five minutes - freeze and hard reboot (Samsung splash screen). I tried different versions of CM and AOKP to figure out if it was hardware or software, no change.
I wiped it and flashed CM 9 nightlies a couple of hours ago, and got the same behaviour. After some googling I found aLogrec and turned it on. As soon as it boots and tries to start recording the logcat, it hard reboots. I figure the onboard flash storage is borked - is there anything I can do? I can't even get it to boot into Recovery, it just loops forever.
I'm hoping someone out there can give me some ideas before I go out and spend on a Nexus 7..

Have you tried to see what happens if you install official ICS with Odin?

You could see if odin still recognize it and fish a stock rom. But by the sound of it I think you're sol.

Odin recognised it and has flashed the right ICS official, but it just sits on a glowing Samsung logo.

Odp: [Q] Is my Tab dead?
I will wipe all data/cache from recovery and see if that works, but I'm not so experienced and you should wait for someone with proper knowledge to give you advice But you just might give it a try

First thing I tried, but thanks for the suggestion

I flashed the 4.0.4 from here and it didn't work, so I tried the 3.2 and restored it to shipped state using Odin. After that I rooted and reinstalled CWM with Odin, and then flashed the CM 10.1 M2 build from the Development forum here the usual way (copy to SDcard, reboot recovery).

Good. I should have mentioned you have to start with gingerbread. Could have saved you a step.
