Hey guys!
Here's my situation : i just installed a rom on my galaxy mini, it's very smooth, stable and i like it like hell.
But, i also can see that the developper of this rom is updating it every single little minutes, there's always an update.
So my question is :
If i download the new version of the rom, put it on my sd card, and them from cwm install it (WITHOUT wipe cache data ect..)
will it update my rom wihtout any problem?
Or will it screw it?
Anyway, please help me by telling me how must i do to update properly a rom.
Thank you guys !
for better using, i prefer you to wipe and cache data

Hey, urm new to the rooting business so please bare with my newbness. (i have tried searching)
Can someone quickly run me through updating a rom..
i.e Cyans just released an update, i understand i need to download and flash. But do i need to wipe before flashing? do i need to then re-flash my theme after flashing the new rom? So, does flashing an updated rom loose you all your data?
Thanks, love you guys.
If you're going from one Google based ROM (Cyanogen, JF) then you shouldn't need to wipe. If it's a HTC based ROM, then you would need to wipe.
So go ahead and flash, you shouldn't have any problems. If you find that you get stuck in a bootloop, just boot in to recovery then wipe and reflash.
If you dont have apps2sd and you wipe, you will loose them. If they're on your ext partition they will remain there.
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.

Guys,thank u for ur reply
I have cm7 on my i5700,SGS...and i want it on O2X...
i like CM7 and i'll stay with CM7
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.

Hello. I've got mu SGS for about an year. I recently installed an ICSSGS ROM on it and I enjoy it but it's kind of sluggish. Also a "low space remaining" notification appears and I don't know how to get rid of it.
I want to ask you how I can clear the internal 6 GB on my phone and make it run smoother(can I just delete everything or are there some system files?), how I can install the Semaphore kernel and a good ICS ROM for a smooth experience and some games.
Thanks in advance!

I think you would just go to Settings - Backup & reset, select Factory data reset.
This will put your phone back into the "brand new" state when it first came out of the factory.
You'll lose all your apps, data and custom settings that you've been using.
Best thing to do now is to flash a new ICS like Slim Ics, Dark knight 5.5 or TWICS (i've tried these and they are very good roms). You can download one of these rom into .zip archive, put it into your device and flash via recovery. After that, you can flash a kernel of your choice in the same way (if it is in .zip format) or through Odin if it is in .Tar format
Factory reset means wiping all data and apps except system apps and data.that will clean your phone from all apps u installed after flashing the last rom(of cause u wipe everything when installing a new rom) this will get rid of any lag or sluggishness u are experiencing.
But first try wipe cache and dalvik in cwm.
Next download "easy cache cleaner" from play store and clean your cache.this normally solves the problem
Ps. I know the adds are annoying,but it's one of best free cleaners. To get rid of the adds download "droidwall" and check the apps that need internet/data connection and apply.it's like a firewall only the apps u allow permission have internet/data connection
Hi Seniors,
This became like a mystery for me..please help me to solve it.
Issue is like this if I install any custom or stock Gingerbread ROMS by phone works like a butter, no issue at all I can say.
But when I install any ICS or JellyBean ROM's it starts creating pain in my neck.
If I am using my phone it never restarts itself but when I lock my phone screen and keep it my pocket M finding that my phone is restarting into recovery mode itself.
Now here comes the strange part...If I play music using any music player and lock my screen it works fine,its not restarting itself ...but once I stop that music player and lock my handset screen in idle mode it goes to recovery in few secs
This only happens if I upgrade to ICS or JellyBean ROM's
One more issue...my wifi works fine If am having GingerBread install on my phone but when I install ICS/JB I cant even start it.
Have tried a lot to get it fixed....but
.....Even I want to taste ICS/JB Rom's like u guys...Please Help Your Rookie.
Thanks & Regards

Hey EwOkie,
Thanks for your courtesy mate...really appreciate it,
So here we go,
I had stock GB 2.3.6 ROM installed on my phone ;ie GT-I9000_XEU_I9000XXJW4_I9000OXAJW4_I9000XXJW4.zip,
after that I rooted my phone using CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS,
then I did factory reset,wipe cache and dalvik cashe and installed GamerzRom v11.0 which is a GB ROM,
so far no issue...wifi is working fine,phone is not at all giving me any auto restart issue...its was working like a charm,
then I found ICS_F4k_MOD_v4.0.4_I9000_r3.zip which is an ICS ROM,
I did factory reset,wipe cache and dalvik cache,the I installed ICS_F4k_MOD_v4.0.4_I9000_r3.zip using CWM Recovery console,
it was booted fine to home screen...later on I tried connecting my phone using my wifi router I found that WiFi was not switching on at all,
I locked my phone using lock button then after few secs I am finding my phone is restarting itself in recovery mode,
restarted my back to normal and again the same issue,
I ignored it,
Then I downloaded C-RoM Mix v7 Latest 4.2.1.zip in which had a wifi bug fix,
I did factory reset,wipe cache and dalvik cache,
I flashed it using clockworkmod recovery and had eactly that same issue which I had on ICS ROM,
for WIFI issue I tried flashing wififix.zip and found no resolution,
my phone went into boot loop of Samsung Logo,
then I flashed it back to original stock rom GB 2.3.6 and my phone started working like the way it should be.
This is the whole story
I moved from GB to ICS and then to JB.
Seriously brother I have no idea why its causing this weird issue...this is why I am looking for help from AndroidXperts on XDA site
Kindly help me to sort it out.
Thanks & Regards

Ok first up thanks for the info....
When doing a complete wipe before installing another rom make sure you wipe all 4 :
Data / Factory Reset
Cache Partition
Dalvik Cache
Battery Stats
Unless the Developer for the Rom States otherwise.
I know that there are a few ICS Roms that have a lot of bugs please check Info on them before Downloading
Should tell you whats working and whats notto save hassle
As I really only use GB Roms (my own preference)
Might help to try different Modems for your Romas this can help signal/network strength, where do you stay?
Yeah flashing back to 2.3.6 will work all the time as its basically stock.
No matter what Custom Rom I try I always flash JVU 2.3.6 then Root it > then the Custom Rom I want
I never just overwrite it with another Rom...
Hopefully someone with the same Rom as yourself may help as I dont want to give wrong info ....
Or Ask on the Rom site the issue your having with it
If you do need my help ... just ask

Hi EwOkie,
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I am followed everything what u just mentioned in ur reply allready...but no go
Me & my GF we both have i9000 and I have followed same installation process on both the phones...her phones works like a charm but mine is like an incomplete soul.
One more thing mate,I really dont understand this ......can you tell me what difference it makes to have JVU 2.3.6 or some other version...how exactly its works....u know what I mean to say.
No idea why we use 2.3.6 JVU with CF Root (Kernel for Recovery) we just do ,, suppose its the best to start with before flashing a Custom Rom
So your partners phone works ok and yours doesnt.. did you try using the PIT File and re-partition?
Check my signature at bottom its a HOW TO Guide incase you get lost
As I says I dont have a lot of experience with ICS or JB Roms as the ones i flashed in the past werent as stable and had some bugs in them
Thats why i stuck with GB Roms
plz help me

Currently on Ordroid 7.1.0, going to update to Ordroid 7.1.1bonce I finished downloading it.
My question ... Is a full wipe installation necessary or just a update over it would be enough since its all under the same developer?
It's kinda tiring to reset my email, wifi every few days. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
No you don't need to wipe anything at all.
