If you are running a safe kernel, then:
Put the rom zip file in your external sdcard
Boot in CWM recovery
Make a nand backup (just in case)
make a full wipe (wipe data/factory reset ,wipe cache, format system, data and preload under mounts and storage)
Install zip from sdcard
That is the usual way. However, it is always good to read the rom thread for special instructions.

As it's alliance rom, you could also use the rom customizer from the play store as that is the recommended method by the dev.

Thanks you guys for the quick response...

My strong advice is:
. Read the original post of the desired rom (here)
. Once there, you'll see a list of very important links. Check them all. I'm noob too and I can assure you: it's really important for us.
- Download Alliance-ROM
- How to install the ROM
- FAQ
At last: Alliance is the ROM I use on a daily basis and couldn't be happier with it.
Go for it!

Just be sure that you're on a secure kernel, when you make the wipes.

How will i know if i have the safe kernel? I am currently running Ultimate Jellybean does it have a safe kernel already?

Yeah it has a safe kernel !!

There's nothing to worry .... Itz based on philz kernel ... So u need not worry !! Before installing any other rom just follow the usual procedure of wipe and you are good to go

why not follow the advice by dev

CM7#49

Hi guys,
pls can u tell me,what is new in #49 rel.?
I want to instal that #49,im currently at stock 2.2.2 rom.
My BB is : 1035.21_20110405
Phone is rooted and new cwm recovery installed from ROM Manager.
I wonder what works and what doesnt work in this #49.
Can i freely install this rel. or should i wait for some new rel.
Im not advanced user.
Thank you
Well, thats for you to find out with your curiosity.
Allow me to ask you. What is the difference between Android froyo and Gingerbread? Haha, huge different. Install it i believe you wouldn't regret.
As stated, video fails sometimes, but i haven't faces any fail recently... Other then that, i personally thinks its flawless.
Cheers goodluck
Thank u for reply,
i'll install it , just need to find SD card large enough to do a backup first.
Just to ask...
steps?
1.backup stock rom and data from recovery
2.clean/wipe data
3.install zip from SD card
4.wait to complete updating
5.enjoy?
am right?
One more question...
Battery life? Now my battery life is about 10h most.
Thank u
It doesn't matter an advanced user or not. And in that case, the CM7 nightly builds shouldn't be much of a problem for you. I haven't tried the CM7#49 personally, but i tried the #48 build and i found it to be pretty good. everything was working fine.

Uh...one more question...
CM7#49 contains google apps like market,mail...? or i have to install zip gapps-bg-20110613-signed.zip via recovery?
Why don't you just read the CM7 thread? Everything is written there:
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First time flashing CM 7 to your Optimus 2X (or coming from another ROM)?
1. Root your device
2. Install ROM Manager (search the market for it, no need to use the Premium version), and from there install ClockworkMod Recovery
3. Do a Nandroid backup!
4. WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
5. Install the ROM
6. Optionally install the Google Addon
Thanks for reply,i‘ll do that.

[Q] How to get the Android 4.0?

Hello,
I recently flashed my Galaxy Note with a stock rom and i got it root and also got the CWK installed. Now I want to try to install the Android 4.0.
I read the instructions and it says:
1. Make sure you're on the latest CWM
2. MAKE A NANDROID
3. wipe data/factory reset in recovery
4. flash ROM
5. flash Gapps
6. reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All i can understand is 1, 3, 4 and 6. Can anyone elaborate or give me some links to "Make a Nandroid" for example or what a "Gapps" is?
Thanks in advanced,
Alexw
You should do some searching and some reading before u try 4.0 if u are not familiar with how to do a back up u should probably leave ics alone for now it has been harder for people to get back from ics to gb then it is to get Ics on your phone in th first place and to do a back up u boot in to cwm go back and restore and choose back up not much to it and gapps are google apps which would be provided in download links in the main page of the rom or already in rom

Nandroid = backup: boot into CWMR and hit Backup and restore/Backup
gapps = Google apps

Is it not possible to use a stock ROM with odin and check re-partition if I want to go back to GB?
Also I can't find a Gapps link at that topic. Can you recommend a other good Android 4 ROM?
Thanks,

hi there
just that you know so far ICS roms for galaxy note come all from a leacked ICS version who is quite unstable....so you need hard work (if you are not confident with odin) to install ICS, hard work to use it and hard work to return to Gingerbread.....when you will be fed up...
i did it and now after 2 weeks of testing on ics i returned back happily to Gingerbread....but many of the folks around even bricked their note on ICs so i recommend a lot of care prior to do any ics stuff.....
if you accept an advice....wait for ICS rom ....when a proper ics with souces will be released for our note dev will work on it and it will be ok
for now install Leomar checkrom v6 who still is gingerbread and add from kitchen their huge ICS domination theme.........you will be happy and with no big worries.....

Alright, I'll wait then. Samsung delayed the release of the ROM for the Galaxy Note to April.
leaked ics roms is lots of trouble!
just stay away from that and wait for the official version.

1. Pretty Explanatory!
2. NANDROID Backup: It backs up your CURRENT system as it is. All the settings, applications, everything is backed up! If you ever experience any problems, you can restore to this backup through CWM Recovery menu or the CWM app. I really recommend you to make a backup of your stock ROM. Always create backups!
It is pretty easy to do so too. If you have the CWM app, just open it and create a backup through the backup option. Alternatively, open CWM Recovery, scroll to backup and restore, hit backup and your backup will be created!
3. Before jumping from one ROM to another, ALWAYS perform "wipe data/factory reset". It clears everything on your phone so you won't have any problem in installing the new ROM. Also, go to advanced and perform "Wipe Dalvik Cache".
4. Search for any ROM for your note. TeamRocket ROM, RoMow ROM are some good ICS ROMs. Download them, put the .zip file to the root of your sd card and select "install zip from sd card" option in CWM Recovery AFTER you do number 3.
5. Flash GAPPS. This is just a .zip file to download all the google apps to your phone (market, etc.). Google for it! But, apart from CMX ROMs, I never needed to do this. TeamRocket, RoMow, CheckROM etc include GAPPS by default.
6. Reboot your phone through the recovery menu.
7. Enjoy! XD

Hello everyone , i have had this problem since forever , i can't get a normal google play store

2 - format system .
3- install any Gingerbread rom using odin.
4- open google play and install any app.
5- done.... you can flash any rom without problems now !

Best & simpelst is to come fresh from stock so when u encounter problems during process its easier to help so we dont have to ask what changed, when it occured (we dont know all the changes that have been made in the past) & come with solutions that"ll fix it or **** it up more & ull be more frustated. Just say the easy "factor". Plus I know in most cases it will be running without problems afterwards & ull be satisfied with x-bean or whatever rom u prefer. Just start over from "scratch" starting with flashing 3 file stock rom via odin.
Here odin & pits use 512 tick repartition: http://db.tt/yHvd2Brm
JVU rom: http://db.tt/z0WBjcFk
Flash it
When done flash
Cf root: http://db.tt/2Qre1j2k
Now u rooted go into recovery, do a full wipe (data, cache, dalvik), flash custom rom of your choice. U may have to flash custom 2 or 3 times. I recommend x-bean cuz its Running smooth & stable here. Hope u like it 2.
My tip is make a nandroid backup when custom rom is just installed & running fine. And make some more at several points of satisfaction when personalizing your rom
If you make changes afterwards & problems occure & cant fix it or find a good solution, u can just restore with the nandroid backup so u dont have to start from scratch again. It just saves u time in the future.

Did the problems also occure in GB? Or did it start when u were on jb? Either way try JVU like i mentioned in previous post, see if it makes a difference in gb. & maybe the gapps u flashed werent suitable for the jb rom u chose. X-bean has it included by the way.
About x-bean I would give it a try. Experiences are just opinions. There are always complains about every rom. But for me I dont have problems multitasking, battery life i can manage a working day, average i think between 4 or 5 hours screen on time at lowest brightness. When I go 2 sleep & wake up (mostly 8 hours) battery draining between a 2/5 %. I keep wifi on.
My settings LiveOc 120, big mem 404, ondemand ui, noop/sio, rasd 1024. Still satisfied Running smooth & stable
But at the end its on u to try it out.just flash a couple different roms, experience it & make a choice. The beauty of it is, if u dont like (anymore) flash another one till u find ur "dreamgirl"

New to ICS and got some issues

Yesterday I just changed from GB (Django Manouche 1.7.1 Spica with OC) to ICS rom from harsh & tonyp (ICS Lite install) and everything goes smooth, fluid and fast, but two problems came.
1) Now my O2x don't see my external Micro SD.
2) I got the call bug present, starting from today, yesterday everything in the calls was fine.
So how many got this problems and how did you get it solve? My major problem is that I'm complete noob in this flashing and modding stuff, my habilities goes only to boot in recovery and install a zip file and nothing else, for that the why I choosed the lite version.
it's time for you to change your rom, i recommended u this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2007968 and follow carefully the instruction of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986097 there u go..

sir! do you also know how to set the sdcard as main, not internal memory, using your recommended rom! im not satified on enternal as main, i need some memory for my data games,,, please help
I will try that solution vEget7, I only hope don't brick the phone in the process.
as long as you backup your data, the guide vEget7 states can be used to Unbrick your phone,
i would recommend Topo's rom, since its based on Stefans Rom with a better Kernel, its solid and stable.
also since Topo have finished Coding for O2x, he has passed on his Skills to Carburano, And His DJM rom is just as stable and smooth.
you can get it here.

Can't Install Roms HELP PLEASE! Huawei U9000 Problems!

Hi I am new to this "romming" business. For my u9000 I installed UtterChaos kernel .32. Most to the roms require .35 kernel. And when I try to install SUT LR 1.8 it never works with windows 8 64 bit. I do have CWM Recovery, and I do have superuser permissions. But for some reason when I try to flash a different kernel like CK Kernel Lebay edition, the whole device gets stuck at boot. Yes I have wiped data, cache and davlik. before doing so. I had to then remove the batteries and put them back to start the phone in download mode to replace the boot image from a back up then go do a CWM restore. And I have tried doing factory resets but the UC kernel boot wont change.
Bottom line is, I AM LOST and I will be using this phone for a long time and I can use a way out of this and I need to find a very fast and stable rom with all working features.
What I have:
- .32 kernel
- UtterChaos kernel
- Custom SU
- CWM Recovery
What I need (please help):
- To get rid of UC kernel (boot, etc...)
- .35 kernel (if possible)
- SUT LR for Windows 8 64bit (if possible)
- A really good rom for heavy gaming, performance, stability, something other than GB (preferably JB or ICS)
I may be asking for too much, and sorry if I am, but I can use some help with this phone right about now.
Thanks in advance!
My answer
You can get 35.7 kernel here, depending on what rom you wish to use. Just flash it along with your preferred rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919097&highlight=kernel
For the rom, it really depends on your preference, because the performance is mostly the same between all the JB roms, smooth enough if you don't install lots of apps that stay in the background. Currently, I'm using the XperienceXperia JB rom. It's about as good as the other JB roms, just with Xperia stuff. Also, make sure that you don't put too much load on it, because it might freeze. No kind of software would be able to magically turn our phone into a gaming powerhouse, because it has an old, outdated gpu to start with. So, don't think about running games like Asphalt 8, because it probably wouldn't run.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2479460
I'm not aware of a Win8 x64 compatible SUT LR, but I don't think you'd need it for anything besides flashing stock roms.
By the way, what rom are you using now? If you flash a cm10 (JB) designed kernel to a GB rom, it would definitely cause problems.
Sorry for the long reply, I don't know how to make it simpler.
THANKS
Hi thanks very much I am using the stock rom. Thank you sir :good:
And I suppose for any rom I flash the corresponding kernel first before I flash a rom?

I'm not sure about the order myself, but I usually flash the rom first, then the kernel. I do this everytime I want to flash a rom, and I've never had any problems. Have you tried flashing one of the JB roms for this device? If you haven't tried, remember to wipe data and cache before flashing the rom, and backup your current rom just in case something goes wrong.
