[Q] ART to Dalvik and Titaniun Backup - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm currently running CM11 (02-07) with ART enabled. I'm thinking of upgrading to the current nightly, but I'm not sure if I need any special steps with ART.
I will be flashing the ROM manually because I need to modify the device number, so I'll probably be doing a reset before, which will of course reset back to Dalvik and remove all my apps.
Now my quesion is, can I backup my apps and user data while in ART with Titanium, and then restore them in Dalvik? I'm thinking of keeping Dalvik so I can flash stock remote and camera.
Thanks,
Vic

Did a Titanium backup, clean install and everything is ok. ART is good, but I'm happy to be able install the remote and camera, and maybe try xposed framework.

I followed the guide. But when I flash CM it fails. Do need certain kernel or something? What am I doing wrong? Also I have the wind variant if thats important.

I flashed twrp v2.6.3.2 through flashify. I realize this isn't the most updated version of twrp for my g2 but when i flash the updated vesion (v2.6.3.4) it fails.

I would go to the thread and ask for help. Also paste the error you get when you try to flash CM11.

I noticed you are using a furnace kernel,Did you flash CM11 with stock lg kernel? If so what version of twrp did you use. I don't understand the problem because I have the dame model as you.

Again, post back at that other thread with the details of what you did and what error you are getting. The more detail you can give the more we can help.
In a nutshell, the recovery that you install will dictate what ROM will work on your device. For some of the ROMs in that thread you will need to install a kernel, but that depends. And I'm not sure what error you are getting.

I don't know abt the kernel but I am loving this rom so far. No lags, the UI is perfect fit for the screen and loving some features like DND, IR etc..,
but the only thing missing is the gapps. We need to install separately i think. Loving the Internationalized weather widget too.

I got that problem while installing ROM, i am in GPE 4.4

Ok there can be different reasons for this.
1.May be a bad download. Try downloading it again.
2.May be you did not clean flash it by wiping cache,system,data. Try wiping everything except internal storage and try again.
3.May be the recovery you are using doesn't support installing this rom. Try TWRP 2.6.3.0 I got it installed perfectly with that.
4.And finally the firmware which you are on. If it is GPE firmware then try switching to sense before flashing this. I had hell lot of problems with GPE firmware like unlocking the bootloader, installing the roms etc..,
May be these are not the reasons for your problem but just give it a try and report back

You get status 7 error only in three cases.
1.You edited the updater script in the rom
2.You did not download the rom properly.
3.Mainly you are not using the right recovery. Try using TWRP 2.6.3.0 or higher may be.

[Q] CM11 and tmo D801

I have been trying to flash CM11 to my G2(Tmo) but the problem I am running into is that no matter what tut I follow I end up with the same result. Fail. I have attached a pic of my screen if that helps. I have TWRP v2.6.3.2 installed and everything but install runs fine. The error that comes up on the install screen is "E:Error executing updater binary in zip '.........'. I am a noob to flashing/roms sorry If more information is needed just let me know.
Thanks.

To flash CM11 and most kitkat roms, you'll need to update TWRP. The most up-to-date version for the D801 (T-Mobile G2) is v2.6.3.5, which can be found in the CMB thread under G2 Android Development (T-Mobile): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568732 . The update is a flashable zip, so download it to your phone, reboot to recovery, and install it using your existing TWRP. After a reboot into recovery you should be updated, and you should be able to flash CM11.
thanks

Old CM Version on Note 3?

Can any one help me try to get cm11 on my verizon note 3. I have TWRP and Unlocked Bootloader with root running CM13 but I still want to run cm11 and when I tried to flash the rom, it gave me a updater 7 error. If you know a way to fix this please tell me.

Error 7 is typically a mismatch condition between the fingerprint of the recovery in use and the model of the phone the ROM is intended for - the ROM author puts an "assert" statement in the installer script to prevent dummies from flashing a ROM from the wrong device to a phone.
Assuming you didn't make a mistake downloading the wrong cm rom for the SM-N900V Note 3 this could be a "hlte" vs "hltevzw" issue depending on which TWRP version you have installed.
You can work around this by unpacking the ROM .zip file, deleting the offending "assert" line in the installer script, and red zipping the ROM.

Yes if you are using the hltevzw twrp then just flash the hlte generic twrp and u can flash roms that don't require the hltevzw twrp to see the right rom is version is being flashed.
One more question , i am running JasmineRom its 5.0.x CM 11 is 4.x.x Will it work? if i install it?

I don't think so but was wondering since we have an unlocked bootloader, can we downgrade to a developer 4.4.2 rom and then install the cm11?

Is it safe to upgrade to TWRP 3.0.2?

Hi there.
Is anyone here using TWRP 3.x? I'm still on 2.x, since I read of lots of problems with newer versions of the recovery on this device, but I'd like to upgrade now. Can anyone give me some feedback?
Thanks in advance
It works but as with multiple posts not with Aroma.

Try it.. It totally a new design You can revert back, if you don't like it.. By flashing the image through the new twrp itself.

If you're trying to downgrade, it means that you've flashed TWRP.
If you've flashed TWRP, it means that you already know how to flash a custom recovery.
If you already know how to flash a custom recovery, then this is EXACTLY the same thing. Just pick an older version of TWRP and flash it the exact same way you would flash any version of TWRP.
And if you don't even know how to do that, google is your friend.
