Hello everyone,
For the first time since I rooted my Panache, I want to flash a new ROM.
I'm using cyanogenmod right now and I want to flash Virtuous Affinity.
I know I must do a full wipe but do I need to erase or format my sdcard as well?
Can I use Titanium backup to reinstall my application and their settings without issues? (AOSP => SENSE)
Thanks!

not unless you want to
SDcard wipe is not required to flash a new rom...
and yes, you CAN use titanium backup.
hit thanks if i'ved help!
Thanks saranhai!
I was not sure and the results I got using Google was all about partitioning the sdcard.
Now, let's flash this phone :-D

Hi Guys,
I am very much happy with the custom ROM.. only thing (infact 2 things) i need is to OverClock and App2Sd.
Yesterday, i successfully Rooted my Wildfire.
Now what needs to be done..
Am very new to android..nly few weeks back i got my wildfire..
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Magesh
Guys, after some reading, i think i need to patch HCDR Jacob's kernel to the phone for OC. So, i jus need to put the zip and "install from zip" from clockwork mod???
This is the first time i am doing this.. so i need your guidance..
Thats right, what rom you using ? I have read that its unstable on wildpuzzle rom , for apps2sd you need an ext partition on ur sdcard and flash darktremmors apps2sd and run a2sd reinstall in your terminal app
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
That is correct. Do a nandroid backup first. Install setCPU when you're done and you'll be able to OC
@UtmostMick0 ,,, i just want to OC in Stock Rom itslef.. Is it possible to use App2Sd in stock rom was my another question???
Should b able to, as long as ur phone is rooted flash HCDR Jacobs kernal, install setcpu and u should b good. As 4 apps2sd if you have partioned ur sdcard just flash Darktremmors a2sd, reboot, open a terminal app and type "a2sd reinstall" and wait 4 reboot. Should b like 120+mb internal storage free

thanks,, i decided to go to CM .. i successfully installed CM also.. so nw i have both of them..
I don't know if it's the same, but..
I don't know if it's the same, but I used Rom Mangers built in partition tool to create a 512MB partition on my Desire. It just rebooted and I had loads of free space. I am running SuperVillain which has apps2sd+ support built in.
I'm looking at Wildfire for my wife, and I know two people who have them already.
Could someone please supply the download for a2sd, I want to flash it to my current ROM.
Use the search function, lolz, it's on XDA somewhere

So I just want to make sure that I understand this as i really dont want to loose all the things i have accomplished since I got android.
I use this backup.
Then just reflash the new rom.
Then how do i recall the apps etc? Thank again!

copy your sd card files over to pc which includes all your backup of titanium onit, once you have flashed rom, formatted sd etc and new rom is installed get titanium backup back off the market copy your sd files back and then restore but if you are changing roms completely and not doing an update id recommend just doing a back up of your apps because if you restore over your existing settings it may corrupt the rom (NOT TO SURE NOT TRIED IT MYSELF)
Very thanks for all good roms & answers.can you help me too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16145088#post16145088
Well I want to try a CM7 rom over the sense I've been using. I guess I'll just try the backup and see what happens. Should I use titanium or nandroid?

hello...
Iam running miui 1.7.22. and looking to update to miui 1.8.5.
been search a litle around and are still litle unsecure on how to do this.
Do i just boot into aMAGLDR and go into boot ad sd and pick the rom from the SD card and install ?
just like i did when first installed miui 1.7.22.
Or have i forgoten some steps i need to do?
thanks for all the help ...
Yup that is ok
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
if you don't use clockworkmod it's ok. if you use cwm go into the recovery and chose install zip from sd.
And just btw you can back up your data using MIUI backup first, then restore everything when you have updated your ROM. If you're using CMR I believe you can just update the ROM without losing your data, but that depends on which MIUI ROM (I think the stock one can only be flashed using magdlr, so if you're using a SD version it must be from the forums?) you're using and it's better to check the individual threads for that particular ROM.
oh i forgot to say that.
Iam not running from sdcard. iam using [ROM] HTC HD2 Leo MIUI.us Presents MIUI 1.8.5 Fastest Version Yet Pure English [AOSP]

tried a clean install ? wipe cache/data/dalvik cache from cwm. Never restore data, only apps when you install a new rom.
ive done that. problem still exists...please help
Do a real clean, install.
Task 29
Flash magldr
Flash cwm with right partition
Flash rom and wipe everything before.
Make sure if the rom uses a sd ext partition. If so make sure it's big enough 1gb should be the best.

No you can use only. The normal a2sd.
You would just need one in your sd card.

i hear you man but i want a fast 3d rom and this is the fastest ive seen. thats why i didnt go with 1.7. could anything else be the problem
You can try to overclock your ROM but it won´t make your phone/freezes better ...sry
wtf do i have a penguin telling me he knows my ip address n service provider?..btw whats causing my sense to crash. after i download an app or return to home screen it loads for a minute
Your rom has less free ram and kills the launcher.

i hate to keep bugging you but how do i fix this?
You could Flash another cwm Partition.
Or you install a Task Killer app and let it kill all apps except the important ones to you every 15mins etc

which task killer app would you suggest

Hi guys,
I am quite new in flashing ROM's on android devices and I have doubts regarding the following:
If I backup all apps and data installed on the actual ROM, can I restore them after I flash another ROM? Especially if I go from a Sense 3.0 to a Sense 3.5 ROM...
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
I think its ok to restore the apps but not the data. This is what I do (with titanium) and have never noticed a problem.

do you know if Titanium helps to backup/restore contacts and SMS as well?
market search titanium backup
but problem backup android 2.3.x
restore 4.03 ????
failure
If ure trying to back up and restore data, u should try using "mybackup root" in the market. U can back up ur text messages then restore it in any rom( cm7/cm9/sense). Ive been using that since I bought this phone.
Oh and u can backup other stuff with that app as well.

I always restore apps and data and have never had a problem. What you should not do is restore system apps. Everything else is fine
thanks guys for your feedback
