First of all,hi all,newbies here.. Bought my O2X for about a month n flashed a few custom roms..question is,i read somewhere that 'restoring data' after flashing roms can cause battery drain issue,is that mean restoring thru recovery or titanium backup? I always use titanium backup n restore app only,afraid of the batt drain issue,but it gets annoying coz i need to set up everything again.(account login,settings).

Only restore "user apps", not system data when coming from another rom.
Sometimes restoring user apps WITH data can cause problems, like batterydrain. For example when going from froyo to gingerbread.

Which means everytime we flashed new roms,we need to setup all the accounts n apps settings again,rite? I thought it can be easier. ;-P

not really, when staying on froyo rom (MCR Kitchen for example), just flash over new rom, you will keep your data ...
when flashing new baseband -> also just restore backup in CWM
when changing to CM, i would recommend using titanium or mybackup pro to restore your apps (exclude system apps in backup, cause they are different !)
but when you´re staying on CM , just flash new rom, you will keep your data !

yes !!
i came from fr14 to fr18b2 without wiping anything !
i would only wipe once when you plan to move to cm, but when you stay on MCR based roms, just reflash rom and enjoy !

Fear, BlazingDragon, they are all based on MCR, so it shouldn´t be a problem ...
just try out, in worst case, when facing a bootloop or some other problems, you can wipe anyway afterwards ...
so it´s good to have a "titanium" or "mybackuppro" backup for worst case
Ok thanks dude!

Battery make sure u using correct ril, download getril from market

Try the Ril as hd2000 says..
You can also wipe the batterystats (not for a longer batterylife but to make sure the statistics are correct)
or try another rom.. I've seen a difference between roms with batterylife...
when i tried to change the video mode than camera shows error 'unfortunately camera stopped working'.
can anyone send me proper solution...plz. plz.

Hey, when i start facebook it always takes almost 7 to 10 seconds to start.
anyone else with the same problem?
If you have bad battery life on cm9, try harch kernel. My battery life has improved alot since I flashed that kernel.

You flash the kernel in cwm as an normal rom. I wipe dalvik cache after I flash i new kernel, but I don't now if that I necessary.

Hello guys!
Coming as I come from the Nexus family, I try to be as close to the stock experience as I can. So i'd rather wait for the OTA than flash it trough Odin (not that I'm afraid, done it many times to other phones).
But I'm reading many things about the wonders of flashing from a clean ICS, which I'd rather don't do since when the OTA arrives to Spain, I'd like to say OK and update.
So what I would want to know is if it's cleaner to install JB from a clean ICS than install it from OTA and then Factory Reset.
Also, ¿should I do the factory reset in JB from the stock kernel or might still be "bricking dangerous"?
Thanks!!!
Instead of using ota use kies to update to jb and do take a backup of all your data. No it's still it's not clear if jb's stock kernel is safe for doing factory reset.. Don't take risk avoid factory reset on ics and jb stock kernel
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Ok, sorry but I've never done a kies backup before: Does it save all your app data? So that I could restore ICS app data in JB?
No it will not backup your app data. To backup the apps data you need to root your phone and install the titanium backup app from the market. From that app you can backup your all ics apps data to sd card
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Oh, I was hoping to avoid this... it seems android sometimes gives you no choice but to root your phone.
Still, I would want to know if the clean installation is the same wether I do the cleaning before or after the update...
It's always better to clean before installing a new rom.

Guys!!
i always appreciate the roms our developers make for us to enjoy our phone all the way more...but i know that JB and sumtimes even GB,not like JB but still lags/hangs/gets stuck..i mean i like the interface and all, of custom roms, but even the stock roms lag, and also in the end its about making calls and using watsapp, well atleast for me...!!!
So,
i wanted to know, is there any direct way install JB on my phone (like the nandroid restore) and as per my comfort, switch back to GB without the need do restoring everything (like we always have to do a factory reset and install all the apps again and restore every data again),
like can i use the nandroid restore to restore back to gb???
another thing is, suppose if i have a nandroid backup of my stock rom, and then i installed slim jb or galaxperia on my phone and want to shift back to stock...can i do the nand restore from cwm/twrp without thinking for a second (i.e. after doing the factory reset)???
From JB custom roms to JB stock, yes. If you have made nandroid backup, you can just restore. From JB to GB I don't think you can. You need to follow the downgrade procedures.
Thnx..and is there a way to get all my apps and data like they were before i installed a new rom
For eg: i have slim jb and want to shift to galaxperia...how can i without loosing the data and apps ( or without fact.reset)...i know i can use titanium but is there any other way of not even deleting them in the 1st place
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app
Well the reason for factory reset is to avoid any complications when switching roms..you can try flashing roms without factory reset but maybe there will be some problems. Therefore it is recommended to do so. As for backup, other that titanium you can just backup data using twrp but I prefer titanium
Guys thanks for the help..appreciate it!!
One more favor please...im currently on DDLK2 indian GB and im thinking of shifting to OmegaRomX by shaan....now i have made a backup of my stock rom using Twrp (system 552mb & data 826mb)..now as the procedure says i will factory reset before rebooting to Omega rom...
I want to ask, is it possible if i restore JUST my Data from backup, on Omegarom...i mean will i get all my apps and their data as it was...and i wont need to download it all again...
Will it work?will it cause any trouble??

Guys, gr8 news by sammy....maybe its old but i found it now...they have released jb (I9070ODDULP8) in india...does that mean its stable???
i am currently on GB...n seriously bored with this phone...are there any lags in using apps and mailnly opening the calling app...in short is it available for daily use!!!
or should i go for the latest russian version released, as russia was the first where jb was released and so i was thinking maybe it would be more stable!!!
you should go for the Indian firmware..it's very good.. battery life is awesome and practically no lags..

Hello everyone, plesase share your expierience of using stock 20x firmware.
I'm using it for over a month and Im tired of homescreen lags, after installing apps, after browsing web, after playng games.
The homescreen lags enormously.
I even tride to rollback on 4.0.3, but ICS misses some features that I used to use on 4.1.2. So, I back on 20A.
I hate homescreen lags!
Share your opinions, please
Have you done a factory reset after update?

I did factory data reset from phone menu (not hard reset). Is it enough?
No..Do a hard reset,wipe cache,wipe data and try no to backup anything but contacts rather install apps one by one!(its a boring proces but just to be sure because some apps dont work he same on ICS and JB so you might encounter problems)

Yes it lags I noticed this on stock 20a after doing something and presing home button, the browsing throught home screens, there is a lag any way
After update you MUST do a hard reset! If you do that there will be no lagg... So just do a hard reset and you`ll be fine..

It seems it is lag free now. It restored all apps from my google account and during installs it wasn't freezy. After I install flipbourd it lagged a bit, but after gaming homesgreen appeared immediatly, it is really better than it was before.
Could lag spikes in games also occur when updating without a reset?

Just for the record, and hoping this may help others,
I upgraded to Euro Open V20A when it came out, at the beginning of april. Did the factory reset/data wipe from the recovery menu, but DID NOT clear the dalvik-cache at that time. The upgrade worked fine but homescreen was extremely laggy.
Now, almost two months later, I tried clearing the dalvik-cache to see if that made any improvement (did not perform a factory reset/data wipe this time, only cleared dalvik-cache); I've been using the phone for two full days afterwards, and it really feels like a completely different device! The homescreen has not lagged once since clearing the cache. Of course, I didn't lose anything (apps, data, configuration) this time.
So, from my experience, after installing the upgrade you absolutely *must* wipe all contents of the phone, including the dalvik-cache. But if you didn't, and like me, did a data wipe but not the dalvik-cache, you can do it afterwards with no bad consequences and still fix the homescreen lagginess. Feels like a new, great phone to me!
Best regards!
