Hey there,
I'm looking to create a custom ROM, based on a stock ROM. The only additions to the custom ROM would be the addition of a few apps in the /system/app/ folder (so they couldn't easily be deleted).
After the custom ROM is pushed to the phone, will it be the ROM that is used when a Factory Data Reset is performed?
This is all for a demo phone, so I'd like to be able to reset it back to my custom ROM every morning.
Thanks

I flashed Lollipop 5.0.1 and rooted but am now selling the device. I did a full erase in the settings which deleted user data, but I still have the custom recovery and root (SuperSu) installed, how do I fully wipe the device back to stock recovery?
Hi
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy s2 GT-I9100, I have copied over to my phone the nessessary files to flash a custom Kitkat based rom (Rom, Kitkat compatible CWM and Gapps) my question is simple, is it possible to flash the rom etc without wiping the data and factory reset etc?
Cheers
yes, it is
Rom installed but a little niggle exists
Ok
I have used CyanogenMod's brilliant online utility to install the latest KitKat rom 4.4.4, all is fine except that I have some contact details missing. I backed everything up using Kies the night before I installed KitKat, but now Kies doesn't want to connect with my phone even though I have enabled USB Debugging.
Is there any other way I can retrieve the missing contacts?
Cheers
I usually wipe.

I usually wipe before installing any ROM but to be safe just go by the instructions for the ROM.
Please ask in your respective fourm

Hi all. I'm a bit of a noob who just really started digging into custom roms and rooting this month. A friend helped me root Lollipop when I first got this phone and I've been putting off updating to marshmallow for 6 months, but learned how over the past weekend and I'm loving it! Small problem, though, and I don't know if it's even a real one, but here it is. After all is said and done flashing the XstreStoLite 3.3.1 rom and Aroma add on pack, everything works fine, but the arter97 kernel is no longer listed as the active kernel, even though in XstreStoLite's settings when presented with the overwrite kernel option I always selected No. Is there a reason this is happening? Can I just reflash the kernel now, and is it safe to do so without brick in the phone? Does this rom or any other necessary apps/root features require the custom kernel? Thanks! This was my process in getting my phone up and running:
Factory reset
Flash stock 6.0.1 with Odin
Flash arter97 recovery with Odin
Recovery mode to flash arter97 kernel and superSU
Flash XstreStoLite in recovery, factory reset
Flash aroma addon
Additional random question I had: at what point, if any, should I be flashing the custom bootloader and modem, and does a factory reset/cache wipe delete those or is it one and done? Thank you!
The bootloader and modem flashing is needed if you want to move from 5.x lollipop to 6.x marshmallow.
If you are allready on 6.x there is no need.
If you lost your custom kernel you can reflash it in twrp and after wipe cache/dalvik cache.
If you flash the corect version of kernel the is no problem of softbrick.
Flash a 6.x kernel on a 6.x rom
Hello there, when I decided that I wanted to change my ROM from the TGP ROM to my old backuped Resurrection Remix ROM I've saw that my IMEI code was unknown. I have made couple of TWRP backups of my EFS partition, but restoring it from there won't help. When I installed the TGP ROM, I also installed through the Aroma installer the new Modem and Bootloader. Could've that been the problem. Should I stay away from the ROM since it used the old Modem/Bootloader?

First thing you need to do is get your imei back or the phone is useless. Flash current stock and hope for the best.
I have never experienced this problem and I've flashed hundreds of devices. When I flash a new rom I flash as is off the developer and leave aroma options at default. Once the rom is working then I mod afterwards

I had also similar problem
I had lost my emei and baseband
I'm sure this guide will save your time and also give your imei number back
