[Q] help with market.

OK so I have been flashing the new Roms on my phone for a long time now and recently I've noticed that the market doesn't work on the newer Roms. If I go to the market and try to download something it will just say downloadIng and will stay that way. I had to keep an old version of a Rodriguez Rom on my phone, flash back to that, update my apps and then back them up to put them on the newer Roms. Long story short, the market doesn't work for me on newer Roms. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

What new rom? You doing full wipe when going from one rom to the next?

all of them. Well the Miui Roms. Cyan is the only Rom that doesn't do it. And I do wipe. 5 times like it says. Still doesn't work.

Possibly a sign of corrupt data on the SD. Try running ScanDisc from your PC on the SD card, and fixing any errors...

Migration from GB DarkyROM to 4.2.2

Hello,
I just got Galaxy S i9000 with outdated gingerbread DarkyROM installed. I am going to update it to one of JB 4.2.2 ROM so I was wondering if anyone could recap the proper process? Here is what I plan to do:
- update recovery
- nandroid backup in recovery
- full backup with Titanium Backup
- wipe data/cache (factory reset)
- flash new ROM
Is that it? Or have I forgotten something?
I would also greatly appreciate recommendation for a nice, stable ROM. It should be as much bugless as possible since I won't be able to update it for a while.
Thanks for help!

Back up ur efs (imei)
As for which ROM that's more tricky I'd say you would be best finding a ROM you like the look of and ask people posting on the thread their opinion

[Q] Installing a ROM and Updating

Hey guys,
Sorry if this seems really noobish, but I seem be to kinda lost in all of this ROM'ing goodness.
I have read up on installing custom roms and plan on doing so but I have a couple of questions first before I take that last step (already unlocked and rooted on my One) - note: I have read through the guides but I still seem a little confused as to what exactly changes.
I notice that all tuts mention that you will lose all data on your phone. Does this include installed apps or are we just talking system files needed for the new rom? I have my phone setup already and have my apps backing up with Helium (Carbon) but this is something I seem to be a little confused with
Secondly, using something like CWM (Premium), can I update my ROM quickly and easily without losing any data?
I know that unlocking my bootloader will not get me OTA's so I am looking forward to using many of the awesome ROMs here on the site!

1) When you flash a rom, you need to do a full wipe in aroma.
Full wipe will erase all but not the sd, so your app in home, your background, your account will be erased.
2) You can upgrade your rom with CWM if is the same rom and the base isn't different.
If the base is different you have to do a full wipe.

One more
How likely is base to change for a ROM package? And if I have to flash that new ROM package instead of doing the update through CWM, am I back at square one again with my apps and data or is it just updating what it needs to?
Thanks again for the help!

Then:
Now, all the rom is based on 1.29.401.13.
When it will change (it depens from htc) and you will flash the latest update of rom, you have to do a full wipe, and you will lose all file, settings and other.
Instead, if you have to flash an update like: you're on 2.5 to 2.6, you can flash the rom with only dalvik cache and cache wipe.
But it depens, you always have to read in thread rom

I guess its not so big of a deal considering I can backup most of my apps using Helium and the rest of the apps can just be redownloaded if I keep a list. Configurations should be backed up anyways.
Thanks for the help!

If you're rooted and you will restore your app after a full wipe, i advise you titanium backup.
With this you can do a flashable zip with all your apps and data

Thanks!
I will take a look at Titanium backup and see what it can do! It would only make sense that someone would invent a way to backup all your apps and data (no matter what) to be able to restore them after a ROM update that wipes the phone completely!

Titanium backup can do this
However, only data app, not system app.
If you backupping system app too, you can have issue with new update of rom

[Q] TrickDriod Upgrade

is there anyway to upgrade TrickDriod Rom from 5.6.0 to 6.0.1 without wiping any apps or data ?!

Yes just flash without wiping the data....

Not sure how that's gonna work for you cause 6.0.1 creates another folder that your apps go in. I believe that's why he mentions backing up the sd card.

If you read in the thread, you can see that is better flash with a full wipe.
However, you can try a dirty flash.

Running a 4.2.2 ROM, can I go to a 4.1.2 ROM?

I'm running ARHD 11.0 which is a 4.2.2 ROM. I want to go to a 4.1.2 ROM to I can run a 4.1.2 kernel. Is this just as simple as flashing a 4.1.2 ROM from recovery?

You have to wipe your phone when going from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2. If you want to keep everything, just get SuperBackup or Titanium Backup and back everything up.

Thanks. I don't mind wiping my phone. I just want to know if it's straight for to go from newer ROM to older ROM.

No problem It is always better to wipe anyways going from a ROM to a different one just to make sure you don't get any errors and bugs.

Just to make sure I'm in the right page...the ROM comes with the kernel, right?

You can either install a custom ROM based on 4.1.2 (which most likely means you'll have to find an older version of a current custom ROM, like Android Revolution HD 9.x or TrickDroid 6.x) or you can download and install a RUU which will basically wipe your device and install the official, stock 4.1.2 for it which you can then root and install a kernel to.

if he just wipe data, and flash from 4.2.2. to 4.1.2, he can get the 0 folder in his internal memory (and just move everything?), can't he?
well I remember to have a little problem with my s3 when i did that, but you can try... if you have problems wipe everything including internal sd and flash again... (but of course you may need to flash thru sideload or OTG)
AND YES, the rom comes with the kernel, if you come from a HOX (for example) you dont need to flash the kernel manually, as was needed in the HOX

Thanks guys! Will try that
