Hi guys. I just decided to use custom Roms because stock is slow. I checked some Roms and 2 interested me: CM 11 and Zaiben.
1. Could you tell me about differences between them? At the moment I have got orginal Android 4.1.2 V20B. Is it possible to flash Zaiben from V20B, I am asking because in Zaiben's thread there isn't any information about flash from v20b. There is only about flash from v20a. And I can't post in that thread yet.
2. Also what should I do before flash new Rom. Will wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition be enough?
3. And could you tell me if I want to flash new Kernel I just use install zip option? And which Kernels do you recommend guys?
Thanks in advance.

1) Zaiben is a modified stock rom, cm is a completely independent rom based on open source project.
All you need to do is have the most updated recovery and you can simply flash right away.
2) If moving to zaiben you can probably dirty flash and don't need to wipe data since it's basically the same basis
If moving to cm you will most likely need a full wipe (system, data cache and dalvik
3) Yes - you canno't ask that question
Before you do any of the above you must unlock your bootloader to install cwm or twrp recovery!
Thank you for the help And last question: If I change Kernel what do I need to wipe after this?

Flashing kernel doesn't require wiping anything.
Each kernel has it's advantages and disadvantages. You need to read through their topics and find out which one will be more suitable for your needs.
Then I will try some. Thank you for help

Hello guys!
I was wondering how should I go about flashing another ICS Rom. I am already on AOKP build 23. If I want to flash another rom do I just wipe data, cache and dalvik cache and install from SD card?
Also, to change a kernel do I just install from SD card?
Many thanks!!
its no difficult man
Just reading. No so difficult like he said.
erm, so is what i said correct?
Factory reset (which is the same as wipe) -> install from SD. Done.
Yes, you got it right. Also follow instruction for the specific rom you want to use.
If there are problems flash to stock with odin + repartition.
Restore and flash
I tried to flash slim rom from sharing rc 4.2.but failed to pass the kernel screen. Don't know what went wrong
Hi everyone,
Newbie posting here.. I've had my share of flashing Roms a few times (say 4 or 5 times) but i stuck with cm 7.2 when they released the stable mod for the i9000.
Now i see that the cm9 stable mod has been released and i definitely want to try that out however, I'm not sure on how to go about it and I don't want to do anything stupid. Don't get me wrong, i've tried reading around through different sites and forums but all the mix and match methods of flashing and installing has gotten me confused..
My main question is, how do i flash to cm9 from cm 7.2? naturally i have cwm installed and can boot into cwm recovery. Am on the XXJVK baseband with the pawitp kernel. Not sure if i have to donwload new drivers (since the base ROM is going to change)...
Do i just place the zip file for the cm9 mod in the internal sd storage? could you guys help me out and let me know if this process is correct:
1) save zip file in internal storage (both cm9 and gapps)
2) do a nandroid backup
3) boot into recovery
4) wipe data and dalvik cache
5) install the package
6) wipe data and dalvik cache
7) install gapps
8) reboot
Once it boots up, i'm assuming it'll be running cm9 already.. could you guys help me out and let me know if this procedure's correct? sorry for the noob question but i'd rather just make sure and ask you guys first.
thanks in advance guys! cheers and more power!

wipe date
wipe cache
wipe delvik cache
then flash rom nd gapps
wipe cache nd delvik cache again.. good luck..
Best and most reliable way to do this is flashing through stock rom via Odin. Then flashing kernel with CWM Recovery via Odin. And only then flash CM9 via CWM.
thanks for the quick reply guys. will try it out tonight and update this post. hope all goes well.
cheers!

and if u want u can try chimera rom from team passion.. it s combination of cm9 and AOKP.. It s stable and fast..
took me less than 10 minutes to flash to cm9 and it's as snappy as i thought it was. now to fix up everything and check if everything's okay.
so far, wifi and network signal are working fine and dandy. might just have a go at that chimera rom.

Since you are on Hydracore it is safe to wipe. But just to be sure just take a nandroid backup, by Booting in to recovery
Selecet Backup & restore--> Select Backup & do a nandroid backup Then just follow the installation procedure below
Keep both the ROM & Gapps file on your SD card
Wipe data / factory reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Go to Advanced - > Wipe Dalvik Cache
Select Install Zip from SD Card--> Select either internal card or SD card (external sd ) based on where you kept the file-->Install the zip file of the ROM
Same way Select & install the Gapps package
Go Back & wipe Cache Partion & Dalvik Cache once again
Reboot & you are Paranoid...:good:
the best advice I can just offer you is to go to the respective Paranoid Android ROM thread and post this question there. There many people there as well willing to help you. Or you can wait for someone who has PA already on their device and perhaps they can give you some nice info on how to go about installing PA on your phone.
sorry, I can't do much help on you as I'm not using JB for now.
You can flash any custom rom if you are on safe kernel, hydracore is safe and you can simply boot into cwm recovery and flash the rom zip followed by gapps.

Yes you need to factory reset when coming from another rom that is not aosp based, i.e stock gb/ics.

I think you need to read instructions to the point before carrying them out. I had posted you the method for installation of PA which so far as I know is the correct one coming from any non AOSP based ROM. Pls. do follow the instructions. In case you are in doubt just ask for a reconfirmation.
Also any ROM developer will have the instructions posted in the OP thread, which you should definitely follow.
As others have told you, do a full wipe coming from a non AOSP based ROM..
By the Way if your problem is solved just change the OP title to Solved..
In regards to doing a full wipe: When doing the same process a couple of weeks back, coming from a stock ICS rom to PA i read you need to do a full wipe.
google brought me to this page: http://checkrom.com/threads/full-wipe-the-correct-way.432/
do you guys consider wipe/factory reset to be sufficient or is it a good idea to do this manual format of the /system/ /data/ and /cache/ partitions as per the above guide?
I was in a bit of doubt on that one at the time, so i did it anyway to be on the safe side and it all worked fine.
Paranoid android
Hey :laugh:
Someone can tell me what's the difference between the Paranoid rom from Imilka (PARANOIDANDROID 2.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797698) and the Paranoid rom from Utacka (PARANOIDANDROID 2.15 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871713)????
To be sure
OK, just to be sure I want to make everything straight... So if a have Hydracore kernel and a non-AOSP rom (for example ClassicRom V5) I can flash ParanoidAndroid? Even without AOSP rom? Just having Hydracore kernel and non-AOSP rom I can install ParanoidAndroid safely? I just have to do a Full wipe, then flash paranoid, flash Gapps, wipe cache and dalvik and reboot and thats it? Thanks in advance for the answer

Hi Everyone!
I want to go back to Stock 2.3.6 rom from CyanogenMod 7.2, it is the official from vo-1.
What should I do ?
Simply flash a stock rom via Odin ? Is it need to be full package rom or one package is good too?
Do I have to do a full wipe before or after flashing?
It would be good to have a step by step answer.
Thanks!

One package is enaugh.
Flash any stock rom via ODIN
After flash is finish, go in recovery and hit wipe data/ wipe cache (without it u will have bootloop).
Thats it

I think if you are flashing with ODIN, just go into Download mode, without wiping. If after flashing with ODIN you get caught in a boot loop, go to recovery and wipe factory reset. Hope it helped.

First upgrade your device to Gingerbread using Odin, follow this guide
hubix's guide
Then root your device and install CWM (custom recovery) in order to flash custom roms, doing backups, flash mods ... here you'll find all
Usefull Thread with lots of info and FAQ
Finally choose the rom you want and follow the dev's instructions to flash the selected rom

The latest fw it's from Vietnam?? umm
There's no problem, but I suggest you to flash an European fw in order to avoid signal/coverage troubles because of each fw includes a modem from a different area. For me the Spanish KTM is the best

Here is the link on how to install stock rom using odin along with all firmwares and drivers (check the "Preparations" section),
Flash stock rom on Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 using odin
You can find all the necessary details for flashing as well as all the firmwares in this link. If your PC cannot recognize the phone, its usually the drivers. Once installed, go to recovery mode and do a wipe data/ factory reset & wipe cache (otherwise bootloop might occur). Then restart. Now you have successfully flashed the stock rom. Here is the link for rooting and installing CWM 5 on Samsung Galaxy Ace (just install these zip from the recovery mode),
How To Root and Unroot Samsung Galaxy Ace?
CWM 5.0.2.6 fix for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830
You can use the single firmware installation. No need to download files like boot, pda, etc separately. Also you can download the firmware near to your region. Hope I Helped

Before you do any of these things, make sure to backup you apps. Go to CWM and do "Wipe data/ factory reset" and "Wipe Cache partition". Also go to Mount and Storage> Format /system. Finally Advanced> "Wipe Dalvik Cache" and "Wipe Battery Stat". Now reinstall the rom again. It might solve the issue. As for the stable custom rom, you can always go with CM 7 i.e. Android 2.3.7 based roms. CM 7 based roms are much stable than CM 9, CM 10 and CM 11 roms. As per xda rules, I cannot suggest you the best rom. But here is list of all roms for our Ace. You can flash this yourself to decide which is the best. Here is the link,

Once you have installed the stock rom, go to recovery mode and do a wipe data/ factory reset & wipe cache (otherwise bootloop might occur).
i did but still same problem

after flasing a stock rom via Odin, do wipe factory/reset and wipe cache in order to avoid the bootloop, but with CM10.x ROMS NEVER DO WIPES (data factory/reset) OR YOU'LL BREAK THE BOOT!!
