Hey!
Is it possible to have viper4android on stock rom? I may have messed up backing up the ta partition so I would like to know if I could run rooted audiomods on stock rom. Basically I tried backing up ta partition on android 8 but the camera wouldn't work and then I flashed android 9 and now my camera works but the stock equalizer doesn't... I don't know if there is a way to get the equalizer back or not...

Hey guys. I had rooted my Nexus One without unlocking the bootloader using the 1-click root application. I have managed to successfully use Cyanogen roms in the past. I am currently running eViL's NXSense v1.26.
I want to now revert back to the stock Froyo Rom, install all the latest updates which have been done after Froyo 2.2 & be ready eventually for Gingerbread . My question is how I can safely revert back to the stock Froyo rom & still be rooted?
I have Rom Manager installed and I am currently using clockwork recovery. I believe that there is an option in Rom manager to flash the stock Froyo rom. Is this the best option to select? Also I have an ext 3 partition of 512 MB. Do I have to format my card to delete the partition ?
I would really appreciate if someone can post a step by step procedure regarding what needs to be done

Thanks for the link mate. I would still like to know since my Nexus is rooted, if I revert back to the stock rom will I lose the root? Also if I revert back to stock Froyo 2.2, will I get the OTA updates which have been released after that? Finally what about the ext 3 partition? Do I keep it or do I have to delete the partition and how I delete it if it is not required?
Hey guys. Can anyone please look into my questions? I want to switch back to the stock rom while still maintaining my root.
you will lose root on a completely stock (untouched) ROM, no matter the version. But you can always root back through various methods if needed. Rooting does not prevent you from getting OTA updates.
If you go to Froyo 2.2, you MIGHT have to manually update to 2.2.1 (FRG83) depending on if Google made the update available again (it was taken off for some reason...) but you WILL get future updates (such as the new FRG83D)
As for the ext partition, I do not think it's useful, unless you are planning to use apps2ext which requires root I believe. Don't take my word for granted, I don't know much about this.
Thank you replying mate. As mentioned earlier, rom manager does have an option of going back to the stock Froyo rom. I have a2sd enabled. So how do I go back to the stock Froyo rom. Do I have to format my sdcard to delete the ext 3 partition?
Hey guys. I managed to download & install Nexus One FRF91 stock rooted image using rom manager. I have also managed to restore my applications using Titanium backup. I can see all my root applications are working fine & I can also see the superuser app.
Now when I go to Settings--> About phone--> System updates, it gives me a message that my system is currently up to date. Is this because I am rooted? As mentioned earlier I rooted using the 1-click root & so my bootloader is still locked. How do I move on from FRF91 to the remaining Froyo updates while still maintaining my root?
Also when I connect my phone to my PC & use Minitool Partition Wizard, it shows me my ext 3 partition & the swap space. Since I am not using a2sd, how do I regain this space while still maintaining other files? Can I just delete these 2 things using Minitool Partition Wizard?
I would really appreciate some help here folks
Ok Mods I have finally updated to FRG83D without unlocking my bootloader Also I do not have to delete my a2sd partition now. So please delete this thread. Thank you to everyone who attempted to answer my queries.
Hello, im new here and i have searched the forums and looked in google of how to revert to stock. If i understand correctly,having CM 7.1 i need to:
-Revert to EXT3?
-Download stock ROM?
-Use smartflash tool to instal stock ROM?
The reason i want to flash to stock is because CM camera video performance is getting worse and worse and i need it.
Yes. Those are the right steps to install stock rom.
thank you,i hope i dont brick my phone
The only person that can brick your phone is you. This is just a forum not a work place and we didn't sell bricks.

You can skip step 1. You don't need to revert to ext3 if you're going to smartflash, only if you're going to restore a backup or install a ROM via CWM.
I have made a backup from CwM before install CM7
Can i apply the backup again to the stock rom?
I did this but first I had to do backtoext3 (thanks for Paul obrien) and then flashed my backup. I'd obviously say do a backup of your current rom before you do anything!
I used to installing ICS based Roms in my previous SGS-I9000 and when I needed to revert back to Gingerbread custom rom, I had to use PC odin to do that, since just Nandroid restore will not work.
Is the same thing valid for Galaxy Note?
I am currently in rocket rom and like to try out CyanogenMod 9 experimental Build but wondering if I will be able to simply restore my current rom without the hastle of using Odin. Please advise if you try this already.
Look like no stable CyanogenMod 9 for Galaxy Note for now....
Well it's pretty stable. Bluetooth, Camera and MTP are not working.
But it's possible to restore it to gingerbread with nandroid restore.
I tried it and everything works.
hehehhee i installed ics 4.0 around 6 times and to revert back all you need is just a nandroid backup go in recovery and restore your backup thats it no nothing hope this answers your problem
enjoy

I know this is the wrong thread but since cm9 thread is closed, do you have an HDMI adapter for your Galaxy Note? If so could you tell me if it works on CM9?
Yes, you can restore your NAND backup without any problems. I've done it myself.
A while back I rooted my Xperia ZR, backed up the TA partition, and flashed CM10.
To my regret, the camera performances aren't nearly as good as with the stock Xperia camera app.
So I was wondering if I could somehow restore the camera app, so I can use it alongside Cyanogenmod.
After googling a lot, the only solution I could find was to restore the TA partition.
Is this possible after flashing a different ROM?
Or does anyone know another solution?
Thanks in advance

Flash 4.4 CM and flash this CAMERA ADDON : - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672765
I'm on CM11 now with Android 4.4.4
Tried standard camera first: rubbish
Tried Google Camera next: rubbish
Tried Focal camera: rubbish
Next, I tried to install the ported Xperia Z2 camera: couldn't even open app, just errors
I'm starting to think it's the hardware that sucks.
When taking a picture of a newspaper or a book page (using any camera app on 13MP), you can't even read the letters, too blurry..
Does anyone know what may cause it?
Thanks
Hi all!
I've mostly used CM11, but it never really felt super polished. Now with CM12 the UI is much better, but since it's fairly beta there are more little irritations. Since I've never really used the stock firmware I thought I'd give that a try instead to have all of the original features work.
Just to be clear; would I simply use FlashTool in Flash Mode to flash the correct .ftf file? Is there a way to keep all my apps and data? (I'll take a backup to be sure in any case.)
Also, is there a way to use Privacy Guard or something equivalent with the stock firmware?
Thanks for the help
Ya according to me i tested most of lollipop roms but they are still in very early beta so i flashed stock ftf then restored ta and i am back to stock and as for privacy guard there are xposed modules and many apps for the same...
Thanks for the reply! Xposed seems very useful so I'll be sure to check it out.
What do you mean with "restored ta"?

I don't have the backup of my phone before unlocking anymore... Will I miss having them? I don't consume DRM'ed media.
Its about turning on Sony's bionz chip which reduces noise from camera other than that i dont think it will effet you in any ways...so just flash your stock ftf and you are good to go...
where is the official cm 12 thread for z1 ? link please
