I've been running on CM7 for quite some time, but would like to give AXURA a test drive for a bit. I'm curious as to how I go about this in CWM. I've used ROM Manager to do it, and chose wipe cache, which wiped the system partition, but I've never done it within CWM, which I use more often now. Any help?
Boot into cwm select wipe data factory reset then wipe cache then go to advance>wipe dalvik cache. Then you should be good to go to flash Axura directly following those steps. Remember to make a backup before you do anything. Hope this helps.

1. Download the ROM
2. Put it on the root of your SDcard
3. Boot into Clockwork Recovery (Go into ROM Manager.. boot into Recovery) or adb reboot recovery or terminal (su; reboot recovery) and so on.
4. Wipe Factory, Cache, Dalvik
5. Install zip from sdcard
6. Pick Axura
7. Reboot
Thanks. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to wipe my SD-card partition when I chose factory wipe. I just wiped and it's all good.

Wiping factory settings will wipe:
A) Applications
B) Settings
... if you're going to flash, I recommend getting a backup app such as Titanium Backup (Pro) so it would save your apps + data.
Wiping partition is "Partition SD Card" in advanced. Nothing to worry about.
There are full instructions on the first link in my signature

Yeah I got it all taken care of. I'm pretty familiar with all the programs and procedures, had my Titanium Backups, etc, but I had never actually done a system wipe from within CWM, only flashes over old builds.
And I'm ALREADY back on CM7 20 mins later, haha. Axura was cool, but I was having issues getting root access for progs, etc.
I've been having issues with force closes lately in CM7, so hopefully the full wipe will fix it.

Did you try fixing permissions in Clockwork Recovery / ROM Manager? That usually fixes Force closes.
Also, which gapps should I get? It's been a while and I lost my link.
Zephik, no I hadnt done that in about a month. I'll do that next time it happens.
Also, this is really wierd, but when I booted into a fresh install of CM7, it never said welcome to Nexus S. It simply went to the home screen without any Google account info entered.

I don't think they've updated them since january so it should be the same ones. Could be wrong though in which case I need to update my own gapps lawl

Gapps: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?cxlbp3zj1s5l92v This includes Market 2.3.4 whereas the official gapps doesn't include Market 2.3.4 and uses Market 2.3.3.
Fixing permissions is in either: A) ROM Manager
B) Clockwork Recovery (in advanced).
And it did that either because:
A) You didnt wipe factory settings
B) Didn't flash gapps. [When you flash another ROM then back to CM7.. gapps get wiped]
@Ken: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/ are official. But I linked above with a newer market. It's been updated since March 07
Thanks man.

Hi,
I am currently on CM7 RC0. When quarx releases RC1, how can I upgrade my RC0 version to it.
Also, will I lose all my apps and settings in updating?
i think it will be update.zip to flash via recovery just in case take a nandroid backup and use titanium backup to back up apps
just update it normally like RC0, without wipe data and cache.
1. BootMenu->custom recovery
2. advanced->wipe Dalvik Cache
3. wipe cache partition
4. install zip
5. reboot
use titanium backup mate..
Titanium backup free versiones willy work?

Yes,we can!
I always use this way updating cm7 nightly.
Never lose apps and settings.
but system app will change to nightly version,
And you can use "system app remover" or "Root explorer" to remove the apps you don't need.
Only "Wipe Data" will make you lose your apps and settings.
Thank you, worked like a charm. Couldn't find clear instructions anywhere else...
My understanding is that for both CM7 and CM9 the process ids the same to update nightlies...
wipe cache...wipe dalvik...install zip...wipe cache...wipe dalvik...wipe batt stat...reboot
this way we can keep the data and apps intact
anyone...please confirm if this is correct

Cm9 is a different base,i would encourage to wipe everything (data/factory reset) on cm7 and install cm9. Otherwise you may expect force closes on certain applications.

You won't lose anything. Just make a CWM backup (as a failsafe, you shouldn't need it) then flash the new version over the old version. Don't do a wipe or anything like that, just flash it. After the update is completed, clear the cache partition (from the CWM menu) and the dalvik cache (in advanced in CWM) and reboot. First reboot may take some time but after that it should be as it was before, just with all of the updates to the ROM.
Just install new ROM
I have some situation like you have, Typhoon 3.7.0 update to 3.8.0! What I did is just pull the ROM to SD card, and then enter recovery choose " install a zip from sdcard" choose your files, and install and it just all set! Your personal data will not be delete!
i just installed this ROM from MIUI, didnt do task29, installed and wipe cache and dalvik.
i like this ROM but the Cynogen settings keeps giving me FC
anyone knows how to fix it without dong a wipe clean>?
also if i have to do task29 how to backup and restore my data? sorry noob here.

I don't quite understand your problem with Cyanogen settings, but to backup and restore just use the CWM backup. It will backup literally everything on your phone and any apps you have on your SD card. If you ONLY want to backup your app data and other data which you want to restore onto a different ROM, you can either:
1. Create a CWM backup and when restoring, go to advanced restore and restore data partition
2. Use Titanium Backup to backup apps, Super backup (I think that's what it's called at least) to backup contacts, SMS and call logs and (probably unnecessary but you might need it) APN backup & restore to backup your APN settings.

Thank you! I will try that
So I have a Droid 2 which I rooted and have run Apex RC3 on since last fall. It recently has slowed down a bit and I have wanted to try switching to CyanogenMod7, but the whole concept of downgrading and then rerooting and then finally flashing the ROM seemed quite complicated.
Is that in fact what I have to do? I'm on 2.3.3, not 2.3.4 (I know there's a problem with downgrading from that), but is it not possible to simply flash CM7 from my current situation? It seems kind of redundant to unroot my phone just to reroot it again.
Finally, I am using Titanium Backup to store some data and I have a few questions. First of all, which one of the many contacts options is the one that actually stores my contact data? I would prefer not to backup and then restore all five or six of them. In addition, if I am forced to flash back to stock and unroot, will anything happen to my backups (obviously I can't use Titanium Backup while unrooted, I mean once I finally reroot and get CM7).
Thanks in advance for any help!
Find the version of CM7 for Ginger Bread (2.3.3)
Get the zip, and GApps if necessary
Place it on the root directory so it will be easy to locate
Go into your contacts and export them to your SD Card
Boot into Recovery
Wipe Data, Wipe Cache, go to Advanced then Wipe Dalvik Cache
Go to Mounts and Storage, Format System, then Mount System
Install zip from sd card, choose zip from sd card, select and let it run (repeat for Gapps if necessary)
Reboot
Actually it is possible to install cm7 over 2.3.3 you just have to use the unofficial cm7 on rootzwiki
Sent from my Droid Incredible using xda premium
So pretty much, I can just flash any of these ROMs the same way I did Apex (in recovery, wipe the data and cache and then install .zip for ROM and gapps) so long as I'm running the right OS/have the right kernel? I noticed on rootzwiki that there is actually a version of CM9 up, could I do that the same way too?
Just some info in case it's needed:
System Version: 4.5.153.A955-continuous.Verizon.en.US
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: BP_C_01.09.13P
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-gca08d89

Yes, you can flash CM7/9, MIUI, Gummy, etc as you did before. Just make sure if you flash any actual 4.0 roms such as CM9/MIUI V4 you format and then re-mount system. There are slight differences in GB and ICS that apparently necessitate this because anyone who has skipped this step has ended up having to SBF back to GB and start over.
Perfect, thanks. One last question for now though (I'll flash later today): will the data I'm saving on Titanium Backup transfer over to an ICS rom? I'm saving my messaging data and some data for games, and I'm not sure whether they are applicable on the new OS.
As far as I know yes, that will work with TB, but you also might want to download an SMS backup app from the Play Store quickly just in case.
Just wanted to say thanks to MissionImprobable and Albinoman for their help--I'm successfully running CM9 on my Droid 2!
Just before harming my phone because of any potential ignorance, I wanna ask: If I'm on LG G2 (D802) with a rooted stock LP + TWRP v2.6.8.1 which I've installed via an app called "AutoRec". Does that imply I've KK bootloader and ready to flash the zip file of Cloudy? Also will I get app notification badges with this ROM right out of the box?
Thank you in advance!
You are safe to flash, go ahead.
Not sure about your 2nd question, sorry.
i'd suggest to update your twrp to at least 2.8.7.3 just to be on the safe side...
autorec installs an older twrp version by default
you can update twrp just by simple flashing the newer version
1. download the newer twrp for your device variant
2. enter twrp
3. flash newer twrp
4. reboot to recovery
if everything went ok, twrp will show you the newer twrp version in the top left corner
now you can flash the rom
btw app notification badges are not present in any stock based rom such as cloudy...
you can have that option by using an app like Tesla unread in combination with Nova launcher
Thanks for your inputs Andeby & 60nine!
@60nine
In fact, I flashed before I've seen your post but it's good to update the TWRP anyways. I think I've seen v3.0.0 somewhere but I'm not sure...
I've seen badges for FB so I think badges are working OK with this ROM out of the box.
I'm still teased about the "Accounts & Sync" page since it doesn't allow me to selectively choose which accounts to sync or not sync as I've seen in different screenshots that came from different skins. In LG's skin, It's either sync all or sync none which is a bad implementation in my opinion and I really wished they've addressed this in the 2 official updates they pushed to me (KK & LP) but now I don't have any faith that they 'll push any "M" update, not to mention that sync setting I'm annoyed about so I'll have to live with what I've until I get a new phone (hopefully it'll be the 5.5 inch version of the coming Nexus, if it'll have that e-sim technology :fingers-crossed
P.S. I'm not sure why LG implemented the selective sync feature in some of their older mobiles but not the recent ones!!! (as I've seen in the screenshot in this thread http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/55728/how-can-i-select-the-apps-to-sync-when-auto-sync-is-turned-on)
about selective sync
some apps allow you to turn the sync off (i.e. soundcloud that i use)
google on the other hand has the selective sync that you can turn on/off for each google feature (calendar, gmail, fitness, contacts...)
it's accesible when you enter "accounts & sync" in settings, then choose "google" and click on your google account email address...
i think that's the lollipop and per app thing, not LG specific...
about twrp version
2.8.7.3 is confirmed almost 100% stable and working with all latest roms...
latest version is 3.0.0.-4, but it's still in development (although it works just fine for me since i flashed it)
also - make sure you're using blastsgator's twrp

Thanks for all the info. I'm just not sure about the last line you said about using Blastsgator's twrp. Is this some person's name who modified twrp? I installed my twrp via autorec because the twrp manager app didn't work for me for some reason so I'm not sure how to update twrp other than installing a newer version of autorec (if there's such one) that will update the twrp for me i guess

blastagator is the developer - autorec uses his twrp (although the older version)

xda thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/twrp-twrp-2-8-0-0-kernel-f2fs-tools-t2898705
to update twrp
- simply flash newer version via twrp itself
- reboot to recovery (not to system)
- check if the newer version is displayed in the top left corner
- continue with your flashing or whatever you want
also, make sure you download the proper variant of twrp which suits your model (i.e. d802)

Just one more question: In the TWRP manager, Install, I have options to select these:
Backup: No
Wipe Data
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik
For the last 3 wipes, are they talking about wiping the old recovery itself if I wanna wipe it before installing a newer TWRP version? Is it the same for backup (i.e. if I wanna backup the older TWRP version)? I"m a little worried that these options have something to do with the ROM itself (system) I'm currently on!
What I'm planning to do is to leave these options unchecked & add the zip file I downloaded from the internet, then hit "Flash Now" OR it's best to wipe the old recovery first before installing the newer one? (similar to clean flashing a newer ROM).

i'd stongly advise you to use flashing directly from the recovery itself - not from twrp manager...
to do that:
1. copy your rom zip to the sd card (internal memory) somewhere - i.e. in the root of it
2. reboot to recovery (twrp)
3. choose wipe > advanced wipe
4. select wipe for system, cache & dalvik (DO NOT select internal memory because it will wipe your internal SD card where you've put the new rom zip)
- you can also choose "data" if you want a full clean install (just make a backup of your data - to your PC or something)
5. go to recovery homepage and select "install"
6. choose the rom zip from your internal memory
7. press install/flash
8. aroma installer of the Cloudy3.3 rom should pop up - follow the instructions
9. choose your device variant (in your case it's d802 if i remember well)
10. choose those additional options to your liking (no need for removing LG cover app for xposed to work properly - it's been fixed in xposed itself since then)
11. when the rom installs - you can reboot your device
first boot will take some time - sometimes you'll see just a LG logo and flashing leds for as long as 5 minutes until the "android is upgrading" screen popup appears...
good luck...

wipes explanation
- wipe system - wipes the old system partition (i.e. old rom files you had)
- wipe dalvik - wipes the dalvik cache for apps
- wipe cache - wipes the system cache
- wipe internal memory - wipes the devices sd card where all your private files are (if you wipe that one - you will lose your images, music, etc. - and there is no way to get them back after you do this)
- wipe data - wipes the personal data (contacts, phone log, messages,...)
most common wipes are
- system, dalvik & cache (when you want to keep your personal data & files)
- system, dalvik, cache, data (when you want a completely clean install)
- system, dalvik, cache, data, internal memory (same as above, but do that ONLY if you're installing your new rom from usb/otg stick, not from internal memory)

but I've cloudy3.3 already installed and everything in it have been set up (settings, software...et) and I'm pretty satisfied with it as it is much more useful than original stock ROM. What I'm talking about is updating the recovery manager itself (TWRP) from the older version I have (2.8.6.1) to the newer version (2.8.7.3). I assume that it's possible to update to the newer one without any harm to the system currently installed. Right?

oh, sorry then...
then just do this

2. reboot to recovery
3. press install
4. choose the new 2.8.7.3. zip
5. press install/flash
6. after the flash is over - choose "reboot to recovery/twrp" to see if everything went ok
7. if everything went ok - reboot to rom
no need for any wipes
