Going from microlabs rom to another rom

i did a hardspl and i am using microlabs newest rom and despite what everyone else says its really glitchy and has frozen up soo many times on me and i wanna just use ivanmmj's justme clean rom and install touchflo 2d (if there is even a way to do that). anyway do i need to go back to an orginal tmobile rom or can i just flash another rom over the microlab one? sorry i just dont wanna brick my fone

You can flash over it. Just remember: JustMe requires that you flash through an SD card formatted as FAT32.
Also, installing TouchFLO2D is possible on ANY ROM. (TouchFLO2D itself is VERY buggy, though.)
On a different note: You may get a warning from the MOD for posting this here. Please remember that the Development subforum is to talk about Developing ROMs. Normally, you'd want to post in one of the other Herald subforums.

thx alot but also under the subforum has a description that says rom issues as well as rom development thats why i posted here, sorry if its in the wrong place and again thx for the help

hehe I always thought about stating that but never did

Cyanogenmod - Nexus One ?

OK so I've been waiting patiently for my Nexus One and it's finally here. So far I've rooted (uber easy) and installed RA-nexus-v1.5.3 and then installed Modaco's custom rom.
Here's my question?
How do I install the Cyanogenmod on my nexus one? Do I need "makin' bacon" ?
I tried installing the latest stable version 4.2.13 but it didn't work because it's not for Nexus One, right?
I'm 100% virgin when it comes to using a smartphone....I've always used the cheapest most basic pos I could find but my last one just broke and I couldn't resist this phone since I'm a heavy GV user. Please forgive the ignorance and thanks in advance

Your obviously a virgin to forums and how to use them as well. The search button is your friend..

Either install Cyans add-on or leave Modaco's

I wasn't sure if I needed it or not? Total n00b until about an hour ago but I'm sure with snappy remarks and quick retorts I'll learn real quick
Thanks!

Well you are a noob to all this so the first thing you need to do before you ever flash anything is read up on how everything works. There is no cyanogen rom for the nexus one yet. Before you flash anything always do a backup beforehand. Roms are not interchangeable so don't ever try and flash a rom that's for another device. Read the informative thread in the development section, all the information you need is there so read read and read again, that's the best advice I can give you. Also before posting make sure you are posting in the correct section, this should have been posted in the development section not here.

[FAQ][READ THIS] POLL IS UPDATED! come and vote again ;)

Hi all! i wanted to start a FAQ thread because im sick of seeing/reading threads like "what is best custom ROM? please help", "need OC help, please help!" and other very useless threads. i come acrcoss these kind of threads almost every day :/ thats why i want to make this thread to minimize the amount of useless threads
red = question color
green = answer color
@please make this thread sticky so it will always remain at the top
FAQ
1.) what ROM is best/stable/battery saver/fastest?
this is the MOST asked question of all time and short answer is: test every available ROM! everybody has their opinion and it is just stupid to make this kind of thread because most likely it is going to end up like this:
user24 says: InDroid is the best use that!
user25 says: lestatious is the best use that!
user26 says: no use kyrillos, its the best!
so DONT post threads like that!
2.) best filesystems to use?
most of the people say its:
stl6 ext4
stl7 ext4
stl8 ext2
3.) what is the best stock ROM?
almost everybody recommends JPM
4.) is there going to be official 2.3?
most likely NO!
5.) im from another SG forum and id like to flash SG3 ROM, can i do it? we have very similar specs
you can do it but it wont work!
6.) OMG, help me, kies wont recognize my phone and i cant revert back to official firmware!
Kies wont recognize your phone if its rooted, if you have flashed a custom ROM or if you have flashed unofficial samsung ROM!, so you need to find out what is the official firmware in your country then find that firmware on www.samfirmware.com and flash it via odin
7.) is it dangerous to flash a custom ROM?
Most likely no but remember you are flashing on your own and the risks are still there no matter what
8.) How to root android 2.2 FROYO?
use super1clickRoot, z4root wont work on 2.2!
9.) how do i know if my phone is hard bricked?
you CANT enter recovery, download (using 3 button (power+vol down+home button)) or boot the phone
10.) my phone CAN enter download mode but cant boot, is it soft brick?
yes it is! just flash another ROM and everything should be ok
ill add more FAQ´s later but now i got other things to do oh and also you can suggest different kind of questions and answers you want me to add
also tell me what you think of this thread

ill add links here
- www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i5800.htm for official and un official firmwares
- http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i5800_galaxy_3-3395.php full SG3 specs

then i reply to that thread with CAPS on and say: !READ FAQ BEFORE POSTING! and if they are blind and cant read my text ill PM mod to delete it

4.) is there going to be official 2.3?
most likely NO!
samsung customer service germany told me yes lol
but is still to be confirmed by other users ^^
anyway I don't understand why people get so mad because of such threads, if you hate them, just ignore them. no one forces you to read or even answer
I don't understand why people can't just use the search option as well. as they would geht their answer faster.
but hey, you're on the internet, not everyone's as smart as you. there are stupid users everywhere

when i get confirmation that we will have 2.3 i will update it but now its most likely a no also im not mad im just stunned because there are mny threads like this and that but nobody even cares to search for them and then they spam the forum... this SHOULD decrease haree's job on this forum, he has many, many other forums that he is in charge and with this thread i hope that his job will become easier and the forums will be cleaner
and because there are some lazy guys who cant/wont use the search tool this will most likely answer thse answers

The search tool is useless, if you get even a work wrong you have to wait 30secs and search again which is kinda pretty lame. So this thread is useful, thanks jazux.

Start a poll let users decide the best rom(though there is no best rom, its just + and - from each other)

true but now i have created poll (will make it public in a minute ) and it has 29 ROMs and 29 options... i looked trough every page on dev section and listed every ROM that is not closed/dead and with dl link available

not all new roms last long you know..
I'm sure after the rom tutorial was out many new roms came up but lasted for less time..(no specific names please!)
So it wont matter much..
But if a new rom was really awesome and worth the entry in the poll haree could add a option(maybe) or could restart the poll with new option(definitely, this can be done by a mod)
Edit: Nice,jazux you looked for 29! Roms.

yep it took some time but why not? now hopefully we dont need to see any more "what is best custom ROM?" threads

I like all the custom roms
custom rom's are what makes our phone better enough to use

my question is "why MARCELLUSBE is still not a recognized developer"...now i know he's too humble and says all these LABELS doesn't bother him...but a little more recognition is necessary..I'm just sayin

[Q] want to install cm rom

hi all i have samsung captivate i897 from at&t but i am living in india i have stock android 2.2 firmware can anyone give me step by step guide to install cm on my phone my phone build is something like UCKJ1

whats wrong with the instructions that Cyanogenmod thread gives?

i am unable to understand those explanation i dont know if cyanogenmod is for froyo or gingerbread i am also not familiar with heimdall i often use odin so if anybody can give me instruction it will be very helpfull to me as i have said that i am in india so i dont want to brick my device

if it is your first rom DONT flash CM.READ and KNOW what you are doing before doing something BIG...
moving to cm will change your partitioning table. if you dont know what that means you shouldnt do it yet.
READ. LEARN. SEARCH READ MORE!!!
CM isnt 'for' froyo or gingerbread.
it REPLACES froyo or gingerbread (it doesnt matter what you are on now)
Learn, flash something NOT cm7 or miui. then learn more then flash CM
there are many how to flash guides. I know i wrote the newest one. it is stickied.
read the new user guide in my sig. learn what stickies are, then find the stickies and read them.

Go to mobiletechvideos.com or watch josh youtube videos on flashing cm keep watching read and get a usb download jig before you do anything it will save you if you [email protected]# up

i have flashed cm before on my galaxy mini but i am new to samsung captivate and i dont want to brick my device thats why i am asking for tutorial
you people have made captvate thread worse you do ot give answer to the people just ask question in replies go to galaxy mini general forum and see there how people are helping each other not asking question in bul**** question in replies
can any one give me tutorial here
sorry if i was too rude

The Cyanogenmod wiki has a full install guide. If I was on the computer I would link it for you, but it shouldn't be hard to find
Sent from my lightning fast Glitched 1.3Ghz CM7 i897 Captivate

like just said above the miui has an install guide on their website. if you cant follow those instructions dont flash.
Go to captivate Developement section > Find Miui thread > Click the link to go to thier site;s install instructions. DONE.
why would we RE-Write the guide just for you?

[Q] How can I go back to custom rom for official ics update?

I have the samsung skyrocket for att and was wondering how i can flash the stock rom and will i be able to get the official ota update? i currently have the skyics update from sean. and i did not make a backup because i didnt know much about rooting when i first flashed a rom

you gotta read and search my friend. Questions go in Q&A btw. XDA isn't going to spoon feed you, the info to get back to stock is all over the place. if you got to a custom rom, I'm confident you can flash odin back to stock

Moved to Q&A. I'm almost sure this might be covered somewhere else but at least have it in the correct forum
Cheers

This is your actual question. By now you may know Xda organizes those answers in the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket Android Development forum section. Look for the pushpin icons at the top of the list of threads. they are your "stickies", like an FAQ.
Remember OTA updates, when offered, do not mix with custom recoveries like CWM. You will need to flash a stock recovery.

read, read more, read the stickies, i read alot b4 i even attempted to flash, at least a few hundred posts and using the search button.
all problems and solutions have been posted, as u r a n00b all u have todo is invest time into reading alot of posts, because of ur post we all know u havent even bothered to read the stickies, espicially read the one w/n00b's in the title, thats y they r there. .
once u know what ur r doing and r stumped at a certain problem, believe me we can tell by how u post a question, post in the q&a forum
this post is just a copy paste from another post i wrote to a n00b
but anyway read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398 , its a post i started for ur situation, u would have found many by doing a simple search
