Help with installing MIUI 7 on VS980 - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The last time I tried MIUI 7 on my G2, everything worked well but my signal kept dropping and picking back up. Right now, I am on
Cloudy G2 3.3
Bootstack: vs980 39a
From here, what steps do I take to install MIUI 7 without any issues? I'm a huge fan of the MIUI software and have no idea how to install it
Thanks in advance!

You would flash it like you would any other rom:
1. Download the ROM.
2. Copy the file to your internal or external SD Card
3. Reboot into recovery and perform a nandroid backup (or your backup of choice)
4. In recovery, wipe data (perform a full wipe)
5. Browse to where you saved the files and Install the ROM
6. Reboot your phone & enjoy it!
You have to keep in mind that all custom/modified roms are experimental at best, so if it doesn't work as it should, you should move onto something else. Also, most of the custom roms are made around the gsm variants to if you're using the cmda variants such as vs980 and ls980 you would be better off using stock(or stock based if you must) roms. I know you want to use miui but it's simply not optimized for the vs980 so you will never get the same performance/stability.

[Q] Flashing ROMS/ Updating ROMS

I have a problem, ever since I started flashing CM 6.1 RC's I have always had to flash them with GAPPS (google apps) I keep reading all voer the forums saying that when you flash them once, when updating you wont have to select GAPPS again. Problem is if I dont select GAPPS then I don't have them on my phone. No market or everything. My first question is how can I avoid having to flash GAPPS every time the rom updates?
2nd question is after every CM update or any ROM update I loose all my apps data. All my saved game data like angry birds, slice it, even apps like handcent get reset to stock. I even use TitaniumBackup Pro to backup all apps + system data and when I restore I still get no old data? Am I selecting the wrong batch to update?
How can I update to 6.1 stable without having to re flash GAPPS and keep my old system data?
Sorry for the noobienes
are you using rom manager.

Yes I am. Thats what I use to flash the roms.
Are you selecting "wipe data and cache"? Every time you update?

No not at all. I know that would delete gapps and all previous system data.
HTC Vision S-OFF CM6.1 Rc2 Oc'd to 1.497ghZ
Just tried again, made sure I wasn't wiping or deleting anything, did the whole titanium batch backup all apps + system data. Flashed 6.1 stable, no gapps because I already have had them when I flashed rc3
Result:
Gapps are gone, all apps settings have been reset to stock, titanium did not restore system data n'or app data.
I'm stuck =( can anyone post a step by step. Tut on how to properly upgrade Cm?
HTC Vision S-OFF CM6.1 Rc3 Oc'd to 1.5ghz on Pershoots Kernel
Problem solved. If anyone else is having issues do this

1. download the stable cyanogenmod release 6.1
2. transfer the .zip to the root of your sdcard (i.e. not inside a folder)
3. boot into clockwork (recovery) using rom manager or hold power button down and choose reboot then recovery (the important thing IMHO is to install from recovery, not from inside rom manager)
4. from the main clockwork menu, select 'install .zip from sdcard', navigate to update-cm-6.1.0-vision-signed.zip and install.
5. reboot

[Q] Problem with CM RC1

I rooted my phone today, then installed Rom Manager. Using Rom Manager I tried to install Cyanogen Mod 7 RC 1. It seemed to install fine, but when it starts up it goes to the Cyanogen Mod 7 splash screen and loads for a few seconds, then restarts(not the phone, it just replays the splash screen). I backed up my previous Rom, but I don't know how to restore it. Can someone help me get CM7 working or tell me how to restore my previous rom.
EDIT: I got the standard rom recovered, so I don't really have to worry about that part anymore? But how could I get CM 7 to work if I wanted to re flash it?
Do a nandroid backup through ROM manager first off if you haven't already.
Did you do a full data/cache/dalvik cache wipe before you flashed CM7RC1?
Did you flash Gapps at the same time as the ROM?
btw the RC2 has been out for a while.
Er...no. How do I do wipe the cache data? Also, I don't even know what Gapps is. I'm quite ignorant on the subject of roms.

It really is good to do this through recovery, although if you're not comfortable with general use of recovery, I think if you flash the CM7 zip through ROM manager you can check the box for "wipe data + cache".
Gapps is "Google Apps" aka market etc. etc.. These aren't included in the ROM, and I bet you'd like to have them . The link for the latest Gapps is in the CM7 ROM thread in the dev section. Haven't used ROM manager to flash in a long time (I do it through recovery manually) but I think you can check the box to install Gapps at the same time too if you don't wanna do it manually.
Yeah, I chose to install Google Apps. But are you saying if I download the zip file for CM7 like on my pc, then transfer it to my sdcard then fflash it that way, then I should be able to wipe the cache?

And data. it is extremely paramount (imho) that you wipe all of your data/cache/dalvik before flashing to ensure you get a good quality install.
Also, make sure you have the latest CWM recovery installed via ROM manager (assuming that you do already). Its 3.0.0.5 .
Like I said ROM manager can do this, but for nightlies/RC I just do it through recovery and make sure it gets done right.

[Q] Which custom recovery are you using?

Which Custom Recovery are you using? and why?

I just realized that CWM has a problem on Nexus 7. Can't delete old backups!! You can't delete files in the CWM backup folder thru file explorer, terminal with SU or ADB. For that, and so many other performance reasons, I dropped CWM faster than drunk girl in stilettos. TWRP is what I use on my Galaxy S2 and I just love it. You can queue up several zips for install in order, like: 1) TDJ cache wipe, 2) install ROM, 3) install Gapps, 4) TDJ cache wipe again. then, come back 2 minutes later, and you're ready to reboot. ALso, TWRP has a file manager in recovery, so you can actually delete those annoying backup folders that CWM won't even let you delete. TWRP FTW.
I also notice that TWRP has the nice backup options for "System/Boot/Data" backup only. So I can clean backup my rom without all those apps(which is HUGE)
guess I'll need to put back TWRP in my Nexus 7 again.
TWRP. I tried the latest CWM but even the touch version is not that good for me. Also the De duplication backup of CWM is just not quite right in my opinion. In my experience, leaving thousand files in the sd card is causing performance problems compared to just few large files.

If I flash Clockworkmod Recovery in Rom Manager and then Reboot into Recovery from Rom Manager, I go right to cwm recovery. I have tested making and deleting nandroid backups there and it works just fine. My backups consist of a folder containing 5 files including an md5 checksum so I don't know what people are talking about with 'thousands of files'. I think the people criticizing CWM don't know how to use it. I just make sure I flash Clockworkmod Recovery in Rom Manager before I Reboot into Recovery. Works every time. I don't use the Touch version, just plain old Rom Manager v5.0.2.1 and CWM 6.0.1.0.
I had installed CWM first, but now I changed to TWRP and I like it much more. With an USB-stick connected you have the possibility to backup / restore ROMs from there directly, which makes much more sense than backing up to internal memory. Also the other options provided for install / backup / restore are well done. Really nice work!

TWRP
Big icon easy to use.
CWM, in all honesty, I unlocked and rooted and have never gone back into recovery. Because this is the first device I've ever owned where I didn't feel the need to flash a ROM yet! ( key word,YET) I use my Galaxy S 2 for my flashing addiction.

happened to me yesterday lol.
1. try USB OTG in TWRP and put your ROM there
2. adb sideload in TWRP then push ROM
3. back to stock (it won't wipe the sd card, at least I have D802)
Yeah, reflashing a kdz fresh clean base to restart from 0 is the best in your case !

[Q] Need help with installing a recorvery, and installing roms. Sprint LG G2.

I recently rooted my Sprint LG G2. I'm a new to the whole installing a ROM's on my phone.
Is there any threads that go through the step by step process of installing ROMs?
Also, do I need a "recovery"? Or do these come with the ROMs?
Thanks to all that answer!

Download freegee from play store to install a recovery. I just rooted my G2 yesterday. I have a ROM ready to install but still researching the proper procedures to flash. I'll post back when i find it.
From a PA post:
Download ROMS from NEW DOWNLOADS
make sure you are on the latest TWRP (there are issues with CWM - u may try unofficial CWM)
1. DOWNLOAD YOUR ROM
2. DOWNLOAD THE LATEST PA 4.4 GAPPS PACKAGE - always check/use up to date Gapps unless otherwise noted
http://goo.gl/mYKmfL - - RECOMMEND mini modular PA Gapps latest
http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/gapps
Wipe Fresh Clean Install (you all know the procedure)
3. COMPLETE CLEAN WIPE - *includes system*
4. FLASH ROM & GAPPS
5. WIPE CACHE & DALVIK
5. RUN INITIAL SETUP & REBOOT
Let boot take as much time as needed. This will help avoid boot issues.
From what I'm reading, essentially the SD card is partitioned. So apparently when formatting system the rest of storage remains intact. Download ROM (and GAPPS if needed) and just move onto SD card. Go from there.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here...
