Just rooted, Custom Rom installation method?

Hi,
I'm currently on stock ICS & just rooted my Note.
Now how do I go about installing a custom rom?
I've got my eye on KingDroid Notemania Edition
If someone could tell me the steps required I'd be very grateful

K1LLER HORNET, to flash a rom, the best advice is to read the DEV's thread. The instructions are always there. But, I can tell you the following, don't try to flash anything from a ICS kernel, you might hardbrick your device. Flash a safe GB kernel such as abyss kernel (or revert to stock GB rom) and then do flash the rom. But now again, don't do anything at all until you have read the dev's instructions....hope it helps...

hope this link will guide you to flash any rom in safe way

Thanks for the replies guys.
I've read through a whole load of threads & seen a bunch of tutorials but it's all pretty confusing when you're a novice at this.
So far I've rooted the device & confirmed root via the root checking app on the Play Store.
Now if I understand the steps correctly, to install a rom (from my stock rom) I need to:
1) Boot into stock recovery: Vol up + pwr + home
2) Install Abyss
3) Wipe data, cache, davik
4) Install rom
5) Reboot recovery?
Finished.
If someone could let me know if this is correct or fix the errors that's be great.
Cheers

Yep, that is correct, you can also install a Kernel with odin mobile or PC if the files are .tar format, but the last one will raise the binary counter and get the yellow triangle. Make sure that u abyss kernel is flashed before doing the wipe you do so by rebooting recovery after flashing abyss...once the Rom is installed just reboot...

Excellent.
Thanks for all the help. Much appreciated.
Will get started in the morning
# I assume I have to reinstall all my apps again?

when you install Abyss kennel 4.2 make sure after install dont reboot the phone,just put back in to recovery or it wont work and next follow step 2,3,4 and have fun with your new rom.:laugh:

i think kingdroid rom are full rom.So you just flash the rom and make sure do nandroid backup before do anything

and you can using Titianium bakup to backup your app and reinstall again or just go to play store and download again.(if you have google account they will restore your app again when you sign in at 1st time you done

1) boot into stock recovery
2) install abyss
3)* reboot recovery (go in advanced and choose reboot recovery|
4)* now you first must see abyss note boot screenn to be sure you are on a safe kernel, if you dont see abyss boot screen dont do a full wipe. (if you dont see that boot screen it is better for you to ask question why? what? what now? before do any wiping!)
5) if everything is fine now you do a full wipe
6) install rom
7) reboot system
you have a video tutorial in kingdroid section, how to install kingdroid. watch it! and ask a question if you dont understand somethig, there is no need to hurry, be carefull

In future if you keep changing ROMS, if you are in CM9 based kernels or Roms, do not flash other ICS ROMs just via Abyss kernel, instead go back to GB and start over again.

Abyss kernel help
Hi,
I am on checkrom notehd v6 now..and wanna put abyss kernel...it is adviced? i mean do ppl usually get okay enough performance with this combo? My usage is very moderate and i need good battery backup...
anyway main reason is that i wanna be ready to do more modding and ive heard abyss is the safest kernel, so if abyss works well then ill just put it on now and be done with it
this is the method i know -
1. Open mobile ODIN
2. point 'kernel' to the z_image file of abyss thats copied into the card..
3. flash firmware..
Is this the right way to go?
Thanks in advance

I believe CheckROM NoteHD V6 is based on GB, so it is safe to flash Abyss kernel on it. Your steps are fine too.

GT_N7000_SweetROM_V5_base_LSF

Hi,
I've just downloaded the latest ROM "GT_N7000_SweetROM_V5_base_LSF" for my Samsung Note GT-N7000. http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote/roms/SweetJB/GT_N7000_SweetROM_V5_base_LSF.ziphttp://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote/roms/SweetJB/GT_N7000_SweetROM_V5_base_LSF.zip Could anyone tell me how to install this ROM? Do I have to unzip this RAR-file first? And if so, what then? Could I make use of the program Odin3.
I still am quite new at this and I am always a bit uncertain when upgrading my phone. Again, I really could do with some good advice from one of you guys.
Thanks again!
Robert.

No need to unzip the file. it needs to be flashed using CWM recovery

Thank you for your swift reply.
My phone is rooted and therefor I think I have CWM installed. Also, I earlier installed the RAR-file: N7000XXLSZ_N7000XENLS4_XEN, I think I can remember that it was also done with the CWM recovery; It went all smoothly. I know that I didn't have to wipe my phone and/or reset it into factory settings at that time. Is that still the same with this installation? Because I found this video on the internet http://www.cursed4eva.com/multi-window-galaxy-note/, which seems to say otherwise, and now I'm having second thoughts. Are you known to a video that would make it more clearly for me in how to act?
I hope to hear from you soon again.
Thank you,
Robert.

Hi,
I just read these instructions, but I still have so many doubts that I could really do with some extra help. I am sorry, that I sound like a real amateur but that's because I really am in this matter.
Like i said, earlier (a few weeks ago), I've eventually (after so many of my questions having answered by you guys) succesfully rooted my phone by installing the RAR-file: CWM-SuperSU-v0.87. I also succesfully installed the Dutch ROM version: N7000XXLSZ_N7000XENLS4_XEN and I also had to install the RAR-file: PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSZ-OXA-4.88.2-signed.
Now, reading your instructions in the link that you gave me:
1) Make a backup of your current ROM
2) Download Sweet ROM Team V5 and Philz JB Kernel and place on sd or external sd card (remember where you put it)
3) Boot cwm recovery
4) Flash any Philz JB Kernel (after 3.1 cwm) - available here
5) Reboot Recovery
6) Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik (IMPORTANT)
7) Mounts Storage and Format System, Format Data AND Format PreLoad (IMPORTANT)
8) Flash Sweet ROM Team V5 JB
9) Wait until it says Reboot then Reboot phone. First install will take some time as it is building cache
could I not "just start" from point 5, or would that just not work? I still have the the RAR-file: PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSZ-OXA-4.88.2-signed installed on my ExternalSD-card and I've also placed the SweetRom on my ExternalSD-card...
Am I correct to presume I am losing all my data following this procedure?
Could you please link me to a video where I can watch the whole installation process as my guide?
Thank you again!
Robert,
Netherlands.

Fist take backup of apps , contacts, sms , call logs etc, Then Do follow instruction below
1) Reboot Recovery
2) Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik (IMPORTANT)
3) Mounts Storage and Format System, Format Data AND Format PreLoad (IMPORTANT)
4) Flash Sweet ROM Team V5 JB
5) Wait until it says Reboot then Reboot phone. First install will take some time as it is building cache

[Q] Galaxy note N7000 root fail...HELP!!!

Im a total novice when it comes to rooting. i did manage to root my N7000, but after a few hours my phone became quite muggy...i rebooted it and on reboot it said "upgrading".
Since then it has been unusable, i did the volume up/home/power button and tried a wipe data....phone still wont respond well. keyboard doesn't work, cant get a signal, and its generally so groggy, its pretty much unusable. i managed a factory reset with phone switched on, still no better.
any help would be massively appriciated

Relax mate! Am guessing a simple flashing of the stock firmware will solve ur issue.

Ok ..
First of all if you have properly rooted your android device with (clockwordmod recovery) or any other recoveries etc you need to have a Rom to flash it through this recovery
It is recommend that you must have safe kernel before flashing any ROM. Please download any of CM10.1 ROM from the link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789397
Now Get the ROM for your appropriate device from the link below. Select the device and download the ROM. Use any Stable or Nightly version.
http://www.cyanogenmod.org/
Next thing you need to download Google Apps package called GAPPS. Its latest version corresponding to CM10.1 android version 4.2.2 is on the top of the screen. (20130301) using link below
http://goo.im/gapps
Put all the files to micro SD Card. Since your operating system is not working so you may have to take out SD card and put these downloaded zip files to SD card using jacket or your laptop SD card slot.
Now Switch ON your android device to Recovery Mode by Holding Volume Up+ Power and Home Button together
Do following:-
Wipe data/Factory reset.
Wipe Cache.
Wipe Delvik Cache in Advanced Options ..
Fix permissions.
then go to your SD card and flash all these files in order
Flash the Kernel first and after flashing Reboot Your Recovery.
Now Flash
1. CM 10.1
2. GAPPS
Reboot .. n enjoy your new rooted phone
If you still face difficulty let me know ..

P.S
Although i haven't reached the 'recovery mode' part yet, i can tell you that the only options are:
reboot system now
apply update for external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
the delvik cache & fix permissions are not options
Adam

Here ur options
Two options with you
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Download clockword mod recovery from here.
Again I recommend using Chasmado Kernel and it will automatically install safe recovery files. TWRC or CMD Recovery

Nexus 4 Camera Reboot

Work in progress(Rev1) Fix for the Nexus 4 Camera Reboot Issue
Hi guys, i did post this in the forum of the nexus 4 reboot issue but I thought it might of been better to make a new post for this. If you are having reboot issue due to the camera I'd say continue reading and install the port down below.(This was my first port, so it may be buggy)
Okay so this should be a complete port but im not sure how well it will run because its using the nexus 4 jelly bean 4.2.2 camera components. I'm NOT sure if this build is stable after the port but its worth giving it a try.
Install of .zip! (Back up every things! Will wipe all data!)
Warning, By installing this file means I'm not responsible for any damage that MAY happen.
1. Download zip from my dropbox(link down below)
2. Back up data!
3. Must have an unlocked bootloader, root and custom recovery!
4. After you have done step 1-3 you may now begin by entering into the recovery
5. Depending on the recovery you are using, find wipe cache partition and wipe
6. Now find wipe dalvik cache, and wipe
7. You should see an option that say "wipe data partition" this will delete EVERYTHING on your phone so BACKUP. And wipe that partition as well
8. Repeat step 5-6 to make sure you are not going to have problems
9. Go to install zip, then install zip from sdcard, and from there go to /0 partition and find the zip you downloaded from my dropbox.
10. Now you can install the zip and then repeat step 5-6 again.
11. That is everything! you should be able to boot in to android 4.4.4 setup screen and the camera should be fix.
If you are not able to boot into the screen either because of a boot loop go to googles website download android 4.2.2 stock and the nexus tool kit found on the xda forums, and restore using that with the box checked "softbricked, Bootloop" and then search for the file download from google and continue.
Please leave a reply if something is wrong or the port did not work! I'll try my best to help fix it!

This isn't the right place for a FIX, this must go on General or apps thread.

I think that this is not a FIX, it should be a stock KitKat rom with the camera driver from 4.2.2

Flashing other roms than Andro X doesn't work

I just updated my bootloader and whenever i try to flash a rom, the booting process takes forever until i wipe my phone myself. But when i flash Andro X rom than it takes max. 3min to boot and then it works.
But i want another rom, how do i fix this?

Do you mean that when u flash lollipop based rom it gets bootloop? if yes then first flash stock lollipop firmware and then try flashing other rom. I mostly wipe my internal storage when going from Kitkat to lollipop it works for me.

Well Firstly Explain your problem clearly (I didnt quite understand it)
OK so here's my solution from what I understood..
1. Restore your stock rom Backup from recovery. Boot it once.
2. Now clean flash (Wipe System, Data , Cache, Dalvik cache) a lollipop based Rom (preferably try to clean flash cm 12.1 build)
3. Dont flash Gapps. First see if your phone boots up properly.
4. Configure data and reboot to recovery and flash Gapps.
If you dont have a Stock backup, Then download Stock Firmware images from gregor's thread and install via fastboot. Then follow from step2.
Hope this helps you.

Use easy installer first and get stock lollipop then u can simply root and install recovery then try roms?

My problem is that when i try to flash roms like CM12, Blisspop it doesn't stop booting, it was taking more than an hour so i shutdown my phone and when i flashed Andro X the booting took around 3mins.
So can anyone explain in easy steps how to fix this?

OK now I understand what your problem is. Give me your full specs (like which Model and and stuff). But if you follow what I said above it might fix your problem.

are you fully wiping cache and userdata (factory reset) because this is most common problem moving between Roms that causes bootloops and why I include factory reset in my easy installer.
you can only dirty flash when going up (upgrading) the same rom - changing roms or downgrading nearly always causes bootloop / hang.
