Sorry for my english try to understand
What Android version are you using?
1. If you're running a jelly bean rom and you wanna change the rom, you will have to factory reset (meaning all your apps will be gone). Most (If not all) jelly bean roms require that. Im not sure about Gingerbread.
2. To backup your phone so you could restore it later you need CMW. If you have it installed all you need to do is boot into it, select backup and restore and then choose backup and if later you wanna go back to your previous android rom you can click restore. you can also choose to back your android up to an sd card by choosing Backup to external storage (or whatever its called).
3. Good roms are: Gamerzrom, Cyanogenmod 10.1 (or you can choose 10.2 if you want Jelly bean 4.3), Slimbean
4. Usually installing roms is fast and simple and can take up to 5 minutes if you know what youre doing.

You should try mackay rom. It is very stable, smooth and you get 395mb ram.

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.

I have cm7 on my i5700,SGS...and i want it on O2X...

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.

HI ALL. first about my phone.
OPTIMUS 2X Canadian
Android version: 2.2.2
Kernel version:2.6.32.9
Baseband version:1035.21_20110823
Builder number:FRG83G
LGE Version LGP990hN-V21B
its rooted and have latest CMW on it.
now the question!
this is my primary phone that im using every day to wake up to navigate with gps to go to internet on wifi and 3g. camera everething!
so what rom i can put on it without changing baseband and so on. is there rom that can put on sd card and flash it?
You can flash CyanogenMod 7 ROMs or Official stock Gingerbread based ROMs, whatever you want. Baseband works with every ROM.
Concerning the procedure, you should rather read several howto in Dev section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037751
To root if not done, you can use Superoneclick as you are on Froyo.

Yes like any other ROM... I think you mean ROM that won't replace your Baseband? Every ROM that is not clearly intended to be flashed with nvflash or smartflash will do it: Thanatos, Topogigi, Djdroid, CM7, and so on are all in CWM format.
wanted to install the rom. but before wanted to make a back up of my system! now when im doing backup from CWM its backing it up to the internal memory! not to the sdcard! is it normal?
from where you flash the CWM?? from rom manager or from rusty?
i flash the CWM from rusty and choose for external sd-card. every time i backup my system it always backup to external SD card
I'm doing power button +volume down. then selekting back up to external sdcard. but it saves it to internal
just did one more time backup. its processing and generating everething but when it comes to back up to sd_ext it shows no sd_ext found skiping the process.
the card is instaled and have about 7GB free spase, the CWM sees it as i instaled camera mod from there before.

I think I will give up after this answer. Don't bother about sd-ext it isn't used in O2X, and has nothing to do with sdcard.
Read again and again and again first post in Rusty! thread about his CWM version and you'll perhaps understand how to flash it to have external sdcard used....

As i understand from your earlier message, your device is already rooted. Why dont you try installing the ROM manager from the android market and then in the ROM manager settings you can choose to backup in the Ext SD card or the internal one.
goto settings-use external storage-click and then power down your device. Start with CWM-Power + Vol down key...now you have the backup stored in Ext SD card.
Hope this answers your question...Thanks...

Try the Topo 2 SP3 ROM with HorsePower SR1 Kernel. It has some LG stuff though...but, it is very stable with all the goodies of GB 2.3.4. I used a few ROMs and settled on this cause of the stability and battery performance. There are a few themes for this ROM to customize.....although there are a few more ROMs in the dev section.
You have to flash and check ROMs if you have the time and information...if you want to have more information...maybe you can PM me. I can help you.
Thanks
My rule of thumb would be:
If you want stability, stick with stock. If you want bleeding edge, use an AOSP rom.

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 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

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?

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
first , the ( APPS ) homepage of the store doesn't update it self meaning that it gives me recommendations once and forever
2nd , i can't access the homepage of the market by clicking the top left google play store icon ( it's just not clickable ) , iam running the latest triamislim rom on ICS and i have the latest GAPPS installed :s
i have had this problem on JB as well , i tried marketunlocker / market enabler . but they don't seem to do much but show me the payed apps
Try this steps :
1- go to CWM and >> wipe data/cache/dalvik ;;;
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"
Hello guys!
I am running my S5830 with a 2.3.6 rooted stock ROM and would like to give a try to Jelly Bean. The problem is that I don't want to completely start from scratch if something goes wrong with Jelly Bean or I don't like it.
How I can fully backup the ROM, settings, and all the rest so that I can restore my current working system if I have to? I am using Link2SD in an external ext2 partition and am planning to save my current card and use a different one with Jelly Bean.
Also, what's currently the recommended Jelly Bean ROM to use with this phone?
Thank you very much for your help!
Cirruz
Use cwm recovery and do a backup. Remember: read the sticky threads.
Reboot into cwm recovery...go to backup and restore...choose restore...
This will backup each and everything minute settings that your phone is currently running with...including the links2sd...if ur a guy who flashes new roms very often,always keep a backup of a stable rom...u never know when u might end up with boot loops on a new rom...
Since ur new here,I should let u know that most of the questions have already been asked...I know searching can be a tough job...I remember when I was new here and dint know where to look...but ul get used to finding stuff...but do search before making a new thread...
