What to do before updating to Oxygen - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

Hi
I currently am running the official B136.. I know.. I know.. old and buggy.. but been working good... but lately it's been freezing all the time so.. I guess its time for me to move on. I was looking into oxygen2.3.2-u8800
Now I read on some threads that you might need to upgrade to some other rom (since mine is as old as a dinosaur) to update some drivers etc.. So what else should I upgrade to before I go to oxygen?
Thanks.

[Q] Compatibility issues

Hello everyone!
Yesterday I made some tests with some roms, CM 7 and MIUI 2.5.25 and went to stock (2.3.6 GB) sometimes.
After going to MIUI again, after CM7, I started to have some issues with some apps from the market.
The ones I saw 'till now is: Eternity Warriors and Contract Killer
Is there a way to solve this? It says that my mobile isn't compatible... but it works flawless on CM7.
Thanks!
You can solve it by find the apk of the game somewhere and install it by yourself, it works. I hope it will be fixed in the rom itself soon.
Hello!
I tryed using ALL .apk versions of Eternity Warriors lol
None of them worked, dunno why. The incompatibility came from no where.
One it was working flawless and the other day not.

Ill be straight to the point.. most of us have been using cm9 which is ics 4.0.0 since august 2012,each week, well sometimes every two weeks, since they are missing weeks. Cm9 is a nightly, which means there are bugs and issues, since teh rom is not stable. However, most of the problems have been fix and I have had not had any real issues with it, I do use it day to day, till a new custom rom (based off a previous cm9 nightly release) comes out that I want to try. but the roms has come a long way since build 1.
If something went wrong? like you bricked your phone. There is two ways.. create a back up in cwm before you flash cm9... or you can used kdz, which is used to recovery your phone if your brick it or you want to upgrade or download your firmware.
Also please give me more info about your phone. Like what baseband you are using, what country etc.
Also there are some stock custom roms, which are modified version of stock (2.3.6). With features like 1000 GHz overclock,new launcher,file manager and other useful tweaks/mods

. Are you taking about using the SDMerg Mod to increased your memory? I dont have a problem with it, I can transfer video,music and images to my phone... as well as apk files.

Upgrade to the latest firmware using the Lg firmware site. Also make sure you do a back up when you install cmw, before you flash cm9. Also you might want to download the 1GHz Kernel, even if you dont plan to overclock, it will get rid of the battery bug on start up.

[Q] Imperium ROM SG S4 question, updating! (4.4.2 KK)

Hey!
New to the XDA forum, not new to Android!
I will cut to the chase and explain really fast what I need help with.
I have been using the Imperium ROM 4.4.2 KK for a few weeks now and I love it.
But as of a few days ago, Update 4.0 (up from 3.6) was released, and my phone just won't stop spamming me with "upgrade to the latest version 4.0!" . However, as far as I can tell, I have to re-download the 4.0 ROM and flash my phone entirely over again.
So, TL;DR:
I am using the Galaxy S4 Imperium 4.4.2 ROM 3.6 and I want to;
a)Upgrade to 4.0 without re-flashing my and having to re-install all apps, backup photos etc.
b)Turn off the spam notifications about updating.
Thanks in advance, sincerely

I have the same problem i was using 6.0 and now 7.0 is out can i just perform ota update or do i have to donwload the rom and flash it.....what about my apps installed in 6.0 can i just apply update from sd in recovery...i dont want to reinstall all those apps again.plz help
Guys come on. These are really basic questions.
- If you are not prepared to wipe everything from time to time, then you should stay away from custom roms.
- You can just try it yourself if it works. Make a backup and flash away. If you got problems, fully wipe and restore your backup.

[Q] CM 11 to CM 12 Help

Hello guys, I have a rooted D802 device with the November '14 Snapshot CM11 ROM. I'm totally satisfied with it, since I don't encounter random reboots and every app works flawlessy. But recently a problem has surfaced which I think is due to the ROM being outdate by this mane months. My apps don't get the latest updates, for example Messenger won't get the new "Seen" bubbles at the conversations, Sims Free Play is now crashing because it's not getting the newest patch and so on. These all aren't that important compared to my satisfaction with this ROM but they do are nuisances which annoy me.
So after a little digging, I noticed that the CM11 thread here in xda for G2, is flooded with comments about CM12 and when I checked the original site, all CM11 versions were replaced by the new CM12. Basically, what I'm asking since I'm a newb to all this, is what would be a stable nightly of CM12 for me to upgrade to? Are there still bugs(certainly, I guess) and if yes what are they? I will probably be fine with certain insignificant ones, but not big ones like the SMS App crashing or video playback not working etc.. The CM12 thread was last updated on December so this is why I am making my own thread, as I don't want to do anything wrong. Also, is a wipe necessary? Should I re-install gapps? If someone could guide me through the process I would be grateful.
Thanks in advance, George.
P.S.: If there is another solution to my aforementioned problem about the apps not updating as they should, please point it out to me since I can't think of anything else that causes this

OTA is gone on stock rom

So, i was using custom rom for a while on my phone and i decided to get back to stock so i can sell my phone later.
Problem is, it is not receiving OTA updates anymore!
I've installed V8.1.3.0.LHJMIDI from here: http://en.miui.com/download-261.html and i know there is a MIUI v8.2 update for my redmi 2 prime, but i can't find it anymore over OTA like before.
Can anyone explain what's wrong with this rom?

8.2 update is rolled back due to some issues.
Now, the latest version is 8.1.3.0 (which is also available on the MIUI downloads page).
