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?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
No need to clear dalvik. The flash over does it alrdy. Clear the data/cache in cwm.

Just wipe everything and flash rom without booting.
Without booting?

Yeah...otherwise if you boot your phone after wiping it, your settings (apn a.s.o.)
are in there.
ROOT will be set by flashing.
So I can just do it all thru recovery

Yes, but next time please ask questions like this in the thread for the rom that you want to switch to as this question did not warrant the starting of a new thread! We already have way to many threads like this cluttering up the forums!

ok sorry. So all I do is boot into recover and wipe cache then install?

For me I leave it on charge and at 100% I boot into recovery wipe cache, devlik cache, then factory reset but you may get buy without having to do factory reset since although different it still is cm 7 but if you don't factory reset and it won't boot do a factory reset then it should boot

It does support them but not as a blur rom does cm7 puts internal under mnt/emmc and I think miui best I remember is the opposite. But mods can be done to switch them.

Hi I have one doubt in upgrade.
If I installed any one ICS build after that how can I upgrade to next build without flash?
Is it possible...
Sent from my MB525 using XDA
Put the new build.zip in your sd, reboot the phone, blue light and stock recovery...
It's pretty intuitive then.
This is also similar to flash...I know this one other method? Becoz every time have to install software

So No NEED TO WIPE data and cache? Am i right?
So no need to install applications again?
Wipe cache and dalvik cache but not data, and u keep your apps.

Well... When you make a nand, backup the SD ext for that Rom. You can't keep apps when switching from sense to reloaded since, obviously, sense stuff wont work with aosp. Also, before restoring, wipe SD ext and all that stuff. Not sure if it does anything, but i always do that before banding back to a rom

What i do is,when i install a new rom,i set everything up,no tweaks and themes yet,just the settings and gmail,crap like that,i update my apps and then i nandroid everything,i even do compression,takes up less space,then i start adding tweaks,one by one,then i nand again and delete the old one,i do this procedure,until i have my rom where i want it.
When you do a nand leave the top three or whatever checked, check SD ext., and uncheck android secure. The next time you restore that nand it will be as you left it before you flash.

Backup everything except cache if you want to restore to exactly the same thing you have when you run the backup

Same here. nand a basic setup and a complete setup
If you don't back up .android make sure you have moved all apps to the phone or those apps won't work on restore. I have been told you don't need to wipe before a restore but I always do.

Well i'm not sure who told you that,but if you dont wipe before a restore,theres a possibilties of having issues from the other rom.I recommend a full wipe before anything but mods,updates or Gapps.
I have heard before that the wiping scripts are built into the restore process, though I don't know how true that is. I have never wiped before a restore and have never had the slightest problem no matter what rom I'm going to or from.

I always wipe caches and temp files on a restore. Better safe than sorry, right?
