Is it bad to install new ROMs over old ones? - Droid 2 General

Hey everybody,
Just curious whether or not it's ok to install a new ROM over an old one? For instance I wanna install the new Fission and I have EPIC2.7 right now. Should I clear EPIC (don't know how so if I do could ya walk me through it?) or should I be ok just installing the new Fission ROM right over the EPIC one?

The newest version of fission is very different from Epic, and AngDroid recommends that anyone coming from a ROM prior to Fission 2.0 should SBF their D2 with the 2.3.20 full flash and then root again and install the ROM following the instructions in the Fission thread.

Ok thanks. I'll search around for how to SBF since I'm sure it's here somewhere lol... thanks for the help!

Rubix 1.9.7

Ok so Im a little new at all this. Im currently on incredibly re-engineeredv1.00 and says im on version 2.2.1. Can I just wipe and install or do I have to load
2.3.340 OTA first and then install rubix? Thanks for the help
Ok loaded and all figured out. Ok since I cant post in the other forum is it best to use the rubix overclocker or can another be used ?
Use the Rubix one
Definitely use the one it comes with. It pushes your phone to the max of your specific phone. Mine can only go to 1.2 ghz . Oh well, good luck! And enjoy rubix!
Well I tried tranquility rom and didnt like it. Once on I had a hard time getting it off LOL. The best so far are rubix or liberty. Im currently back on rubix.
best rom is apex

may be a dumb questions, but can another ROM be flashed over the updated GB ROM? for instance, if i flashed the GB ROM, can I flash MikShift over it? or will that just take me back to 2.2 with MikShift?

It will take you back to Froyo 2.2.
Mikshift is a 2.2 Sense based rom.
And This is 2.3.3 Gingerbread
Dumb question: Why not ask this in the thread dedicated to the very same topic where all the people who are actually using it are idling?

To install the 3.0 Lockscreen you need to be on MikShifted G (http://www.themikmik.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=178&t=940)
After you are on that rom and have it all set up how you like it, have Titanium Backup installed and then follow the instructions on this post (from me) (http://www.themikmik.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=11143#p11143)
Thank you aamikam for making this awesome rom....im running it now....went rite from MikShift to this one
Zach
great
It works wonderful
I love it so much
You can set up the Sense 3.0 Lockscren on just the initial leak as I have.
NM...figured it out

lol, accidently hit the "thanks" button.. ^^
Our hd2 is not a native android device and so there is also no offical cm7 rom.
Why dont you want to use hyperdroid or typhoon?
Not official, but as close at it can get. No tweaks or add-ons:

[Q] Nwe CM7 Help

Hi guys, i just installed the new version of CM7. After play with it a little i decided to flahs faux´s kernel. After that my phone is hangin on cm7 boot screen. How can i solve it?
Thanks
You can solve it by not using Faux's Kernel. If you look in the dev thread, you'll find that it's not working.
Apparently it'll be updated "soon".
faux updated his thread now btw.
I just got the new one, but same problem.... =(
I´m trying the following file Atrix-CM7-Kernel-021-ext4-1.45GHz.zip

If you're using the new CM7 release from yesterday, that is not the right one.
It should be Atrix-CM7-Kernel-stop-ext4-1.45GHz.zip.

Need advise on 3.2 ROM

Hi there,
I am new to the iconia forums but not new to android. I already have a heavily customized Xperia X10.
What I am looking for is a pre rooted stock 3.2 ROM. CWM is installed and works.
I have read so many threads but I am still not sure wich file to use.
It's a A500 with Acer_A500_4.017.07_EMEA_CUS7 ROM. The new one should work in Germany.
Can anyone help me? Many thanks in advance.
Karl
I am running taboonay 2.2 using the latest Thor kernel and am very happy. It is rock solid even overcooked.
Vache has removed most of the bloat, and but offers a kitchen to add back anything you want.
If you are looking for total stock for your locale, and someone else will need to chime in.

Have a look at the DEV section of this forum, read about each ROM, and then decide which one best meets your individual needs, and desires.
He's asking for a STOCK ROM, only that it's pre-rooted. He isn't asking for taboonay or such. Work on reading-comprehension.
well in the dev section there are some rooted stock, you will have to dig a few pages back
heres one one the second page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265847 not sure if you will get any conflict with u being in germany
if u feel adventurous taboonay has always been solid, its built of a acers' rom just adds some goodies for drive mounts and stuff(usefully for plugging in external hard drives
@ snickle
Thanks buddy. But as WereCatf pointed out, I am looking for a stock ROM. But I missed that Kitchen-thingy when I first read that thread. Seems promising. But it requires registering so I didn't look any further in to it so far.
@ kjy2010
Also Thanks to you! I glanced through the dev section. But most of the ROMs have been cleaned by creators in some way. I would like to decide myself. But as there doesn't seem to be such a ROM that I am looking for, I will probably test one or the other custom ROMs.
@ all others
Thank you!

You can always grab a completely stock ROM, install SU, and busybox before installing the ROM on your tab, and you'll have exactly what you want

Is it really that easy? OMG! My brain is so twistet that I think too complicated (more or less). I thought rooting will be gone with every update.
Thanks M8
Karl
Karl, you still have to root and install a recovery (the best method). How else are you gonna be able to flash that rooted stock rom?
Magic wishes???
If you look in the dev section, there is a post for a US based stock rom. What is important, is that it gives instructions on how to do it with your own rom.

I guess I needed to be a bit more explicit with my response. I had no idea he'd take it that way!
I have been lurking the forums for a few weeks now and I have tried a few of the rom in the
Development area. The honeylicus rom is nice just installed kjy2010 version this morning.
Very nice rom . Hope I help some
Rooted Acer_A500_7.006.03_COM_GEN1
Hi Karl.
For a European Stock Rom 3.2 with root (version Acer_A500_7.006.03_COM_GEN1) I went here :
xda
http:__forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1280457
it is available to download from here
http:__code.google.com/p/acer-a500/downloads/list
and there is even a very good tutorial in German on how to install it :
http:__www.android-hilfe.de/1703451-post1.html
I have been running it for 2 months without a glitch
Hi jodokus77,
thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if the GEN1 ROM was apllicable for german region.
What I am going to do next is to receive the OTA 3.2 Update without installing it. Guess it will be placed in the download folder. If it is not a GEN1 or GEN2 ROM, I will root it myself following the instructions in this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290318
Karl
Finally I did it as jodokus77 supposed.
Everything is working as expected.
Karl
Ok Karl,
Think some of us were a bit confused with exactly what you wanted
Close, but, no cigar (old phrase) as we say...
Glad you're happy with it!
