I would like to ask at development forum, but i must have 10 post to do it, since ive ever read the forum and never had the need for asking.
so here is my question,
ive installed this mod cm72-111115.0500-Milestone2-Final-v3.0-signed
and since iam having problems iam looking for an update , and found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338183
So, am i able to update my current system to this? will i lose the information? or this is just an update?
thanks for the patient,
here is cm7 compiled for MS2 ..
Well.. Easy thing would be to make a full backup in cwm, try it, and if you have to do data wipe, jUSSR bail and restore the backup. But I'm fairly sure you only need to do cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe though, and keep data as is

Why did you link him to the same thread he linked to :s
judging from the file name of your current cm7, i believe it is defy port made by Endles7. I dont see any issue that might destroy your data if you flash the newest version from tezet (the one in your link). just need wipe cache, dalvik, and battery stat like DreadPirateDan said
Thank to all you guys, iam updating it right now.
Nice update, but its not connecting to the provider.
all other things are working well.

I am pretty sure I know the answer to this, but I am just asking to be sure. I was looking at installing the "Tiamat Xoom Rom 2.2.1 - Moray", and I noticed that it said if I was not upgrading from Hammerhead, I needed to do a factory reset prior to flashing the ROM. I am not coming from Hammerhead, so I looked up the instructions on it, and it say "Factory Reset". So it looks like I am going to have to do a factory reset either way. True?
Can I ask why the need for the factory reset? I am sure there is a simple answer I am just not seeing, but it the ROM is going to overwrite my existing setup anyway, why the need for the Reset?

If you have any changes to critical files (different from pure stock or the related Hammerhead rom), the Moray rom won't boot properly. It's worthwhile to just do the wipe data/factory reset than to try not to do it and end up looping.
Guess I didn't finish reading the instructions. It says that due to some bug fixes, a factory rest is required. Answers that question.
Opps, didn't see your post okantomi, but you said the same thing.
Next, it says powered by the Tiamat 2.1.0 Stock GPU Kernel. If I have the gpuOC already installed, to I need to switxh that first, or does that also happen with the ROM flash?

I just flashed the oc gpu kernel over the Moray 2.2.1 rom update. Seems to work fine.
So... I went ahead and switched to the Stock GPU Kernel, have performed my Titanium and Nandroid Backups, and am ready to Wipe and Flash the ROM.
I am going to do the wipe in CWM, can I then install the ROM immediatly after from within CWM with the Install from Zip option?
Thanks

So everything came up perfect. I love it, but I do have a question that has nothing to do with the ROM, if anyone doesn't mind.
Since I had to factory rest it before applying the ROM, it is attempting to download all my apps from Google. If I go into the market they all show they are waiting to download, but none has started yet. I have always noticed this on my Xoom, that unlike my X which starts downloads right away, the Xoom takes weird random amounts of time to start the downloads, even if its just one app.
Any idea why?

Here's a tip...since you backed up with Titanium, go into it and from batch, just choose restore MISSING APPS AND DATA. Don't restore system apps and/or data.
Hmmm, I think that would have required some fore thought, like putting the APK for Titanium into the the install_on_first_boot folder, cause after it rebooted, Titanium wasn't installed, and niether was a File Manger in order for me to install it, until it downloaded from the Market
Hindsight, huh!
Hi,
I am new to tablets so please bear with me
I downgraded my 3.2 A500 to 3.0.1, root it and than installed a custom ROM Thor 3.2.1 (v12) using Acer Recovery Installer.
1) I've noticed that Email (exchange + others) is gone and no way to put it back
2) Other previously installed apps like Acer Folders are gone too.
3) The tables is slower than before although people keep bragging about how fast this Rom is.
I've seen couple of posts saying that Email is lost because I didn't full wipe the tablet. What is full wipe? is it factory reset? is more than that? is a program that I have to run? I've also seen people talking about clear data + cache? What is this command?
Please advice how can I get a custom rooted ROM to be as close to the stock one?
At this point I should factory reset the tablet to get my email back or I have to start all over again?
Any idea in this myriad of terms an acronyms would be highly appreciated!

When you flash a new ROM, especially a custom ROM based on Asus, and not Acer (like the Thor ROM), you generally retain nothing after the flash, unless you'te merely upgrading from one version to the next.
Before flashing a new ROM with CWM, proper formats and wipes should be done to clean out all residuals of the previous ROMS.
Wipes menu
1) Wipe cache
2) Wipe Data, Factory reset
3) Wipe dalvik cache
4) Wipe battery stats
Mounts and storage menu
5) format system
6) format data
7) format cache
8) format flexrom
Install zip from sdcard
Choose zip file
Flash ROM
reapeat steps 1-4 (not 5-8!)
Reboot, and follow setup in your new ROM.
Some people will consider this redundant, and overkill, but rest assured that you'll not have half the problems that most people have after flashing a new ROM that don't do a proper wipe, and format.
Doing this by memory, will reboot, look at the menus again, and correct if I missed anything in a minute.
EDIT: Just rebooted into recovery, and checked. Method above is correct.
---------- Post added at 11:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 AM ----------
If you want a ROM that is close to stock as possible, hit the DEV section of this forum and choose a Stock rooted 3.2 ROM.
---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------
As to your comment about the Thor ROM being slower. I found that while the transitions were much smoother, boot up lagged and was slower than others, and shutdown took longer as well.
On the plus side, I've never gotten GPS lock so quickly in my life, nor with as many sats as I did with the Thor ROM. I had a look through the ROM, and there are many more files and folders that are Asus specific related to the GPS hardware that Acer doesn't include, thus the horrid GPS performance on the A500.
Thanks a bunch!
Just couple of question: Given the fact that I am already in the situation of having Thor ROM what do I do now?
Or on the alternative given the situation, if I choose to install a rooted stock ROM will all come back to normal?
Note: I don not try to preserve the existent data, just to get the tablet back in a good working state.

Do a complete wipe, format, and install a pre-rooted Stock 3.2 ROM if you want it as close to stock as possible. This is what you want if that's the case.

I didn't initially followed the instructions and I got a rooted stock ROM that seemed fine at the beginning until I've realized it doesn't have the Android Market app
However I've followed strictly the instructions and now I got it all working !!! Many thanks!

Good job, glad it all worked out for you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS POST!!
I had this problem on my rooted HTC Sensation and went mad. Rebooting, reflashing - you name it, did not work. This saved my life, and in case this happens again (dont count on it haha), i'm safe now. Thank you for posting this.
My first post on this forum goes to thanking you!
For all new to flashing make sure, you always study the directions, and do not attempt till you fully understand each step. Once you do a few flashes, it all will become easy. This is a good thread for the new comers.
Ive downloaded this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278214 but It still keeps the old Big DX Red theme I had aswell as the old wallpapers. basically I want to go to complete stock but still have CWM and Root. Anyone have any suggestions?

Here is a link where you can get instructions and all of the .img files you will need to return your xoom to stock. A little heads up, you will have to create a username (email) and password, but what you need is there.

Next time make sure you make a CWM backup of a fresh stock 3.2 rom for you dont have to bother flashing the .img files on your sd card.
Hi, this is a noob question but i was wondering if i wanted to install a new version of purity rom over my existing purity rom, would i have to factory wipe or just davik/cache wipe it? If i just davik/cache wipe would the rom not run as smoothly?
Always do clean flash to avoid issues later on. But technically there is nothing against flashing over a current rom. I just dont recommand it

just flash it right over, without wiping anything. dont forget gapps if needed. when you flash a rom, it automatically wipes the dalvik and cache, so you dont have to do it, or its just a repeated process. updates you never ever have to wipe. when flashing a new/different rom, thats when you have to wipe data/factory reset beforehand.

you have as much of a chance seeing issues after a clean flash as you see during a dirty flash. ive dirty flashed every single item on my n5 since the n5 came out, and on my n4 as well. not a single issue. the only time ive wiped my n4 in a year and a half was for the L preview.
@simms22: that is what my experience was. I always did a clean flash and no 'halp, xy app fc' or 'phone stuck on boot' once like most of the problems here om xda. So yeah @nightryder1, if you want to be a bad ass doing a dirty flash, do so. There is no right or wrong in this case. Just consider, that a 'noob' should aways learn and experience everything properly first before doing some dirty things

well, he is majorly right in one place.. being new, you should, no, have to learn how to do things the right way first. once you learn the proper procedure, and how to fix the little things that could go wrong, then you can worry less about the safety.
but anyways, there is no reason to wipe dalvik nor cache when flashing a rom, as it automatically gets wiped when you flash. the only reason that you would wipe dalvik and cache manually is when doing it without flashing anything, just for a little clean up
Hi, it's my first time posting so I do apologize if I posted this in the wrong thread.
So I recently flashed the latest CM12 Nightly Rom for my S4 I9505. But I realised I needed to restore my backup (which I did with Nandroid before I flashed the ROM). So I went to CWM Recovery, tried to restore with the backup I did.
Everything was fine until I got this : "Error while restoring /system". I thought maybe the one in the phone was corrupted so i copied the one from my PC and still i get this error.
I'm hoping someone can help me on this.
Thanks!
just follow the following steps
1. full wipe data+dalvik cache
2. copy your backup to pc
3. open nandroid.md5 in notepad
4. delete everything and save it
5. now copy the backup to sdcard and restore it.
Enjoy
Hit thanks if I helped you.

there is no issue in restoring nandroid backup of stock roms.

Don't be.
1. Reflash stock Rom via ODIN, root and custom recovery.
2. Flash Custom ROM then again. But don't restore the backup you did before.
3. Done.
I may be wrong , but I have restore nandroid backup of stock roms many times.

First, remove your Google account (no big deal, you can sign back in in a few minutes). Then, go to Settings>Apps>All> Scroll down to the G's until you get the first thing that has Google in it's name. The first one on my phone (galaxy nexus, CM) is called "Google Account Manager". Click on it and hit "Clear Data". Repeat this process for everything Google in the list. Now sign back into your Google account. You should never see that message again!

I'm trying to do as you said, but the problem is the message pops up again the moment i dismiss it, and i cant even do anything else (only able to switch the phone on and off). And I also notice that some apps are starting to crash too.. is it possible to first flash an official Stock Rom and then do a restore?
maybe or maybe not
but I will suggest u to restore it once again and then do a factory reset , maybe it will work.
restoring it after installing stock will be always an option, but can't guarantee that you will not face the com.gapps.... has stopped working error.
.
---------- Post added at 12:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 AM ----------
r u recieving this single error or there are more apps crashing
?
This error and also error messages for some of the apps that say the apps stopped working.
I'm just worried that the backup is corrupted (Praying hard that it isnt the case)
Oh btw I'm using a CWM from ROM Manager version 6.0.4.7, I did some reading and they say there's a chance that it doesnt work well with Samsung phones. Do you think I should use another?
there is one more option also, which I think may work
just download gapps package from the given link and flash it using recovery
make sure you choose the right package as per your android version
