Can I install a custom ROM on my S5 without having to reset all data and apps on phone? Like just a straight flash?

After Gingerbread, will Sprint users be able to install custom ROMs that are currently available? Seems like I read someone was working on CM7 also.

I thought that "roms" also had whatever version of the os that it was based on in the rom. Am I getting this confused with the kernel?
Say you take a stock rom and add and subtract and tweak everything to your liking. How it's done I don't know but you make that into a flashable zip and there's your rom.
You would need to root again because you will lose that with the update. Unless you have root, you cant install custom roms.

I knew that, but I'm just not sure if I'm stuck on stock Gingerbread or still able to load a custom ROM that's currently available (without doing the EA24 flash)

Yes you can, but i assume that u r rooted, so the best way is to flash abyss kernel using mobile odin or CWM. just to be 100% safe, and perform a full wipe, then install whatever u want, u may also format system partition to get 100% clean install

Hi guys,
Now I had no problems flashing a custom ROM on my HTC Desire but my Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 is causing me a huge headache
I would like to flash Jelly Bean but I'm struggling.
My Note is rooted and I have purchased Mobile Odin off the Play store, using Mobile Odin has not resulted in a successfull flash, yet. lol
What's even more confusing is that the kernel version on my Note has changed but no visible settings can be seen.
Your help is very much appreciated.
Thanks
Stefan
1. How are you flashing in mobile Odin?
2. What rom are you trying to flash?
3. What exactly happens?
4. Are you sure you have full root (DL an app from play store to check)?

nice one..
what rom are you from.. if you have root then install ClockWorkMod and flash Safe kernel such as Speedmod 3-15 and Hydracore,, after flashing safe kernel go to Advance>reboot recovery and flash Custom Rom.

Is ClockWorkMod safe with Samsung Note on ICS?
Depends which kernel, you need a non stock kernel to be completely safe.

What is the difference between a ROM and a Kernel? Sounding like a complete newbie here

Rom is the platform itself, Kernel governs all the hardware. Simply put

Rom flash usually includes kernel, then flash required kernel after.

Ok I think I understand.
What ROM would you recommend for tge Samsung Galaxy Note N7000?
Appreciate your help.
You obviously really need to do some reading before flashing anything. Start with the stickies.

Will that unroot it too? Or do I not need to unroot to get OTAs and Kies compatibility?

If you flash stock rom, it will unroot and remove cwm also.

Hmm, and I can use Odin to flash a stock ROM over cm10? I've never used Odin before, why cant I just flash the stock ROM over cwm?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
because stock roms doesn't come in the form of cwm installable zips.
Thanks for the advice so far guys, just a few more things:
do I need to go back to a GB rom before flashing a stock ICS ROM via Odin?
I saw in this thread that says it's optional: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
And just to make sure, if I do flash back to a stock ICS ROM via Odin, it will overwrite my current kernal/root right?

You can flash straight to ics but remember you'll then be on unsafe kernel. Do wipes before flashing.
Yes, flashing stock will overwrite kernel.
