Liberated FR007

I just updated my aria to the latest 2.2 liberated Rom. I installed it this morning and now just realized it said to wipe data before I installed it. But I didn't. I just plain out installed it. It seems like its running fine. But what do I do? Do I still need to wipe data or something?

If it were me, I would do a backup and wipe it then re-install, but If you are not experiencing any issues, then it does not seem like you need to. If you do encounter any issues, Then definitely do it.

No need to wipe data if you are going from a liberty to liberty, if you went to liberty to cm6 then yes you would need to wipe data..

Don't think too complicated for this, if you don't have problem, then let it be.
To tell you to wipe, is to lower the chance to have problem.
It's just same as upgrading/change of different OS of you PC.
e.g. One maybe painless from XP -> Vista without format, the other maybe turns out blue screen.

[Q] Can u switch from one rom to another

May be kinds of a noob question but, If I wanted to go from bonsai to viper to whichever other one I wanted. can I go from One to the other with no problems or do I have to flash back to stock dk28?

As long as the roms are the same version then you may switch. I.e.. 2.2 to 2.2 or 2.1 to 2.1.
All you'll want to do is clear data and cache on the flash over to remove the chances of conflict

Ok thanx, but do I have to clear factory data as well. Or can I just do dalvik cache?

No need to clear dalvik. The flash over does it alrdy. Clear the data/cache in cwm.

Getting fc's on on all roms

No need to start a second thread for this... I'll say it again, have you wiped data in between ROMs? Or what are you doing after installing the ROM if you've wiped it?

Make sure to wipe everything before installing a new ROM, then run fix permissions (advanced options in CWM recovery) from either your recovery or from ROM Manager. After reinstalling all your apps and settings, make sure to fix permissions again.

Wipe system before you install your ROM, in addition to wiping cache, dalvik, data. If you do it right it will work

Typically unnecessary, as it its generally wiped during the install process.

I like to be sure, and I haven't had any problems installing ROMs on my N7, and I've flashed pretty much every one there is, kernels too. There have been ROMs that liked to be flashed 3 times for no real reason, so I say its good practice to manually format partitions, caches etc yourself, even if it's supposed to be done on install. If I do it manually, I know that it has been done

Stock rom rooted issues

Hey guys I have recently rooted my Nexus 4 and left the stock rom on it. Now a few days later I am experiencing issues mainly with apps that change settings, like juicedefender or a cpu speed app.
I have done some research and according to juicedefender error log it shows I need to have busybox or I should have CyanogenMod.
Ok i hav 3 questions
1. Will installing busy box cause me to lose any data?
2. I know installing CyanogenMod ROM will clear all my data is there a way for me to backup need for speed and bad piggies?
3. Is there a way for me to keep my stock rom and fix these problems?

Since you're rooted all you need to do for backups is download Titanium Backup and use that to keep all of your data.

Alright im a noob at all this any idea if i should get cm nightly, stable or whatever version ? And if i go with release candidate can i change it to nightly in the future?

You will probably want to start with a stable release before jumping into a nightly. Nightly build aren't really known for stability.

To update cm all you need to do is download new rom, boot to recovery, flash rom and gapps, wipe cache, reboot. Of course this only applies if the rom base hasn't changed, which is infrequent.

If you are going to flash cm for the first time a wipe is required. Usually wipes aren't required when flashing a newer version of a Rom.
But will it wipe data automatically? No. Wiping data is an option you have to confirm in recovery.
Is that what you are asking?

Thanks thanks i will be flashing cm soon, thx so much yall. Sent a donation to mskip for making it so easy to do all this.

ART and Dalvik runtime

I see that cm 11 has to option to change from Dalvik to ART.
Any precautions or special instructions one should take before switching?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app

Basically I wouldn't do it unless you full data wipe, in fact I'd wipe everything, install cm, boot, flip the switch, wipe system and caches, flash ROM, flash gapps and cross my fingers. Seems to break every app (wiping caches no help) and essentially force me into a full data wipe / restore to get a phone back if I try without a wipe.
Hint: always nandroid, Hint: there is a Nexus 5 art to dalvik flashable zip which I knows works too. (Google the same), Hint: its been awhile since I used ART.

Well if you have newly installed the CM rom,switch to ART right after you set up the ROM initially that way the system will have less apps to convert to ART runtime but one can do it even after installing all the apps on their phone would just take longer that's all. Just be sure not to install any non ART runtime supported app cause if you do and when you reboot it will switch back to DALVIK. that's the only precaution you need to take

only one drawback i see in A.R.T. is, its not compatible with Xposed framework

ART made my old nexus 7 feel like a new device. Apps open up faster. Scrolling is overall smoother everywhere and stuttering is greatly reduced.
Haven't had any issues with it whatsoever.
And yes I did use the option in the developer settings to switch.

Any special setup, or just flip the switch on developer settings and reboot?
