Hi everyone,
I've recently flashed to CM10.1 and I think it's great, I'm a big UI guy though and understand that PA offers some great UI changes.
I'm currently on CM10.1 +franco r28.
1. If I do a flash to PA, do I need to do a full wipe?
2. Does full wipe remove franco kernel?
Appreciate your help.
Yes, it is always romnded to make a full wipe, especially when coming from a different ROM.
It flashes everything, including gapps and kernel, so you'll have to flash your favourite kernel again after flashing a ROM.

1. Thumb rule - You changing ROM Full wipe to avoid trouble (and Nandroid before experimenting)
2. Full wipe will remove your kernel. PA comes with stock so if you again need franco you need to reflash it after you install ROM and GAPPS
That's amazing help, both of you, thanks.

Hey guys. I recently flashed one of faux123's kernel specific to the Virtuous Fusion version 1.1.8 rom. I now want to flash the new synergy ROM. I wanted to now if I can flash the synergy rom with faux's kernel or if I have to go back to the stock kernel? Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
Is this the kernel you're talking about? That kernel should work with the Synergy ROM, so do a full wipe (data, cache, Dalvik-Cache), flash the ROM, boot the ROM, reboot into recovery and wipe cache and Dalvik-Cache, flash the kernel, reboot, run Fix Permissions, reboot again.
Thank you so much for your time. And yes that was the rom that i was talking about.
The synergy's stock kernel is faux's 0.0.7 CFS kernel so there would be no reason to flash anything unless u want to change to 0.0.8 BFS kernel...

I have a TF101 on 3.2.1 custom OS and Kernel 2.6.36.3-g32125f7-dirty ([email protected] #92).
It's been such a long time since I went through the razorclaw setup and flashed this thing, I don't really remember what I did so I'm having to start over on knowledge so I'm hoping some of you experts can help me.
I would like to go to an ICS build, doesn't matter if its official, custom, etc. Obviously, a clean and stable custom is nice due to the lack of bloatware and I would refer to stay rooted going forward, but I don't want to deal with things like shortcut keys not functioning, wireless issues, etc .. so if its a custom rom, something 99% functional is a must. Otherwise, I'd be happy to go to stock ICS. The only reason I upgraded to a custom one in the first place was so I could overclock which I don't do anymore.
Could someone point me to something that would walk me through the following:
- Point me to a highly recommended STABLE ICS build that allows for overclocking?
- Point me to instructions on how to take my already clockworked honeycom tablet to ICS? (Do I just drop some rom on an SDCard, reboot, hold down some key combination, select to upgrade and I'm done?)
- AND .. anything else? I know sometimes you have to update radios & kernels and other stuff, and sometimes instructions get crazy complicated, so I'm hoping there's an easy instruction list somewhere?
Thanks!!
These are the two i have tried that are ICS:
Revolver 4 by Gnufabio | 4.1.1 Stable - IC411 | Jun 23 | FaceUnlock | APM
Android Revolution HD 3.4.2 | High Quality & Performance | ICS | TF101/101G
I am currently using Revolver 4 ROM and im enjoying it very much. I have also installed Guevor v22.6 kernel and im OC'ed to 1.2GHz and getting excellent battery life.
Im assuming you can just load up the ROMs on your SD card and just install them through CWM. Just make sure you do a completely wipe of your system after you do a backup.
You shoudln't have to do much!
1) download the ICS ROM you would like to use. I suggest Team EOS' latest nightly or their stable EOS 2.0 ROM, both in the development section
2) reboot to recovery
3) nandroid backup your current boot, system, and data partitions
4) wipe everything
5) flash ICS ROM
6) reboot
7) enjoy ICS

Most ROMs include a kernel. It may only be a stock kernel or the dev may have used a custom OC kernel. A different kernel can always be flashed through CWM.

Correct! Team EOS comes with its own OC kernel based on the latest source from Asus.
Hi guys,
i know that there might already be an existing thread about this but i wouldn't create one if i had found something that helps me.
Im using a Defy+ with Miui 2.3.2 and i really want to move to CM10 Jelly Bean.
I've found a really cool thread from Quarx and Epsylon about installing CM10 on a Defy+.
I already downloaded the newest release (04.09.) zip file and also the google apps and put both on my SD card.
But as it seems and as i have heard, it's not possible to move from a NON-CM version like MIUI to a CM version by going the typical steps (booting phone in recovery mode, choosing the Quarx zip file and installing it).... or am i wrong?
Can i just put firmware and google apps on my SD card and install that zip from recovery mode and everything's working well?
I didn't mention to wipe the dalvik cache here cause it's just a detail. I just wanna know if this MIUI to CM transformation is possible.
Hope you can help me, i really wanna use Quarx's CM10 cause i've heard it's amazing.
Thank you guys
is there noone who can help me with this or at least give me a link to another thread that already deals about this?
I don't think there would be any problem provided you wipe data/cache/dalvik before flashing CM.

ahhh, now i remember which problem there was with changing from MIUI to CM.
Doesnt MIUI use another kernel than Quarx's newest CM?
Unless and utill you downgraded your kernel to the froyo one, you won't have any issues. I have flashed WIUI GB version for Defy+ and for me the kernel is still the stock one.
Can anyone hep me with this? I had miui then tried to flash cm10, i followed all the steps but when booting up for first time it got stuck miui screen. I guess this means i have the wrong kernel but im not sure how to correct it

1. Flash a new kernel OR
2. Flash your stock SBF, re-root and go from there OR
3 (New option now) Flash the latest quarx JB CM10 with custom kernel included.
Hi,
I am running AOSPA 3.98 and need to install franco Kernel. In the downloads for the kernel I see separate Gapps to be flashed. So why do I need to flash the PA Gapps first and then the ones with Kernel?
I basically don't get the idea, sorry for my ignorance
Oh come on, no one?

Flash ROM (assuming you wipe first), flash gapps and then kernel.. That's it.. Oh and use jwr kernel from Franco for PA..

You can flash kernel before gapps. It doesn't matter. The ROM always goes first though.

No no, you don't have to flash a separate gapps if you have already flashed the PA Gapps. I think the gapps available for download from franco is for his own rom.
Thanks for the replies, I figured I was a total fool to consider them as mandatory to flash.
All I needed to do was flashing the zip

I have tried out, Paranoid Android, AOKP, Omni and CM 11. So far Mahdi ROM is the most stable 4.4 rom out for the G2.
He contribute so fast, and bugs are fixed very fast. The ROM got OTA updates now awesell.
Go and check it out!

Thanks for the suggestion but the thing is I am new in these advanced android stuffs. So i would prefer to choose from the renowned rom makers. So far I only found my device d802 listed in cyanogenmod and aokp's website. So which one should I choose from these two?
And i should get the latest nightly build right? (as in today's one)

I would recommend the latest SNAPSHOT cm-11-20140104-SNAPSHOT-M2-d802.zip since it's a bit more stable then the nightlys.
And if you go for nightly, always check the CM 11 Official thread before upgrading the nightlys to see if some people have any big issues.
But like i said, I would recommend you to take the latest SNAPSHOP.
Cheers!

I would recommend, take advance wipe in twrp and check: Dalvik Cache + System + Data + Cache and you will be fine!
Much better to be on the safe side and do a real cleaning before flashing a ROM.
Thanks! Will download the rom and flash it now. Hope everything goes well
