So i made my first nandroid backup when preparing to install galnet ics miui which ive been enjoying for some weeks now but im really starting to notice the difference in battery life between this and the gsinfused rom i came from.
My question is can i safely restore a gsinfused nandroid backup without problems? Im not sure if red or blue cwm factors in somehow too. Do i wipe partitions before a restore? Can i safely switch between miui and gsinfused (aosp based and samsung based roms) with ease?
Many thanks

To be on a safer side:
1. Copy GSInfused ROM to sd card
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Do a factory wipe
4. Clear out dalvik cache
5. Install GS Infused ROM
6. Boot up
7. Reboot into recovery
8. Restore your nandroid backup
Can you give the link to the GS Infused rom you are talking about? I am unable to find anything under GSInfused (able to find only infused versions).

Yeah to confirm what diablo said, I don't think a nandroid backup in CWM 2.x will restore the ROM image so you'd need to flash the ROM before you restore.

Oops. I think I searched for infused and gsinfused, instead of infuse.

I downloaded Wanteds ROM and it keeps rebooting automatically when it gets to the home screen. Am i doing something wrong?
I would try booting into open recovery & wiping the dalvik-cache & the cache partition.

I know youve helped out a lot already, but do you think you could list the steps on flashing wanteds rom just so I know I did it right? Id really appreciate it.
I will nandroid restore all then wipe the dalvik cache twice & do the wipe data / factory reset twice & reboot. If it doesn't work the first time I would try the whole process over again.

And you would put the wanted rom folder in the nandroid folder where the dexters folder is on the sd card right? And also if I had Dexters version already, would I have to do anything different when flashing wanted's rom or just restore over it?

Yes the rom would go in the nandroid/openrecovery folder on the sdcard & no there is not a difference in the procedure from one ROM to another.

Hi,
I just flash ARHD 4.1.6 w/ Bricked v1.5 and everything is working great. I just have a few questions I hope could be answered.
1) I would like to put the advanced power menu and CRT animation mod on the phone. Are either of these able to be flashed with the 4.1.6 ROM? The second post in the ARHD thread says they are for 3.6 only.
2) I had a bunch of apps installed to my SD and now they no longer appear in the app menu (I still see their data on the SD Card). Does this happen on every rom flash, or just when I use Super Wipe.
3) Is there a way to reinstall the apps which are already on my SD Card?
4) I made a nandriod backup with CWM a long time ago to use as a fall back. The ARHD installation put ext4 on my phone in its place. Am I able to use the CWM backup with ext4 should I need to?
Thanks for your help!
1. There should bee a section off add ons for 4.x ROMs
2. Why are they on the SD card?
3. Reinstall from the Market
4. Doesn't matter, it'll work regardless

Hi,
In answer to your questions:
1) Here is the thread for the CRT animation:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18478212&postcount=25006
Here is the one for the APM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18411950&postcount=24612
2) Flashing superwipe erase all user data, if you didn't do a Titanium backup, you will need to install them again from the market.
3) I don't think there is a way to reinstall without Titanium.
4) Yes, you should be able to restore the CWM backup with ext4, I have done it and it works fine.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!!
Flashed both and they work great.
I read about the titainium backup in the newb guides and totally forgot about it. Silly beginers mistake.
Thanks I'm looking for this one too
I am gonna be changing rom soon and I have a question about this. In recovery do I choose "apply update.zip" or "choose zip from SDcard"?
Secondly can this method even be used on the nexus S? All my apps will NOT be able to install on just the 1GB data partition and I have alot of apps moved to SD. So how will the zip update method deal with this situation where all apps cant be installed without moving some to SD?
wipe
Choose "choose zip from SDcard" and select your zip file in USB memory.
A full wipe is highly recommended before flashing. But you will lost all your app and need to reinstall after.
If you don't wipe, your app will be always here after flashing but it's risky.

Thanks now can you tell me if the zip file will flash if its bigger than 1GB meaning it can't all go in the data partition?

The ZIP restore method sent me into a bootloop. Wiped data again and restored the normal way and no issues then.

The biggest zip I've flashed was 350MB large... 1GB seems to be curious...
What zip file you want to flash?

I don't think it works with large collections of apps/information. I tried this method before and it would fail unexpectedly. I don't remember how big the Titanium update.zip was for me but after flashing the new ROM, gapps, the Titanium update.zip didn't work for me. I had to re-install Titanium and restore in AOKP/Android.
I am trying to flash Carbon 1.6 onto my Verizon GS3 but don't really know how and would prefer not to soft brick...again. I am backed up, rooted with unlocked bootloader. How do I go about flashing the ROM (Carbon or any others)? I have CWM touch recovery installed.

If you've done a nandroid in recovery, just download the rom like the above user suggests and follow the rom instructions in the respective thread. Typically, you would need to
1) boot into recovery and wipe System and Factory Reset (maybe Format data, whichever does not wipe internal sd)
2) install the zip from internal or external sd card
Its a fairly simple process. Just make sure your contacts are synced to Gmail before you flash a rom.

I downloaded the ROM, but it was only ~150mb, no where near big enough to be a complete ROM, thought maybe I was missing something.

150mb sounds about right, remember that it's an AOSP ROM, which includes much less than a TW ROM. If you're still sketch about it, check the md5 you have with the one on goo.im to see if they match.

This is very true. Most AOSP roms are around 150MB. TW based roms can be over 1GB, but are usually around 700-900MB.
All you have to do is:
1. Save it to your SD card in, say, "download."
2. Reboot into CWM
3. Select Wipe data/factory reset ==> Yes, wipe data ==> Mounts & Storage ==> Format /system ==> Yes, format system ==> Wipe Cache ==> Yes, wipe cache ==> Advanced ==> Wipe Dalvik ==> Yes, wipe dalvik
4. Select Install zip from SD card==> Choose zip from SD card ==> "Browse to, and select your zip" ==> Install zip ==> Yes, Install zip
5. Once complete, flash Gapps in the same manner, following step 4, reboot, enjoy.
P.S. If you want to flash a custom kernel, you do it just the same as you did the rom and the gapps, following step 4. You can flash the kernel before OR after the gapps, but it MUST be done AFTER the rom.
Yesterday I started with trying to load a new Custom Rom for the 1st time on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5110.
I used Odin to root it and also to program the Clockworkmod Recovery 6.0.1.1. That worked fine.
Now I see that it's better to work with TWRP, but I don't know how to remove the CWM.
Is there any manual or something to do that?
Or can someone give me a working manual which include a custom ROM an also the Gapps etc. that I can load using Clockworkmod Recovery?
So, what I need is: A manual how to program a custom ROM onto my Galaxy Tab2 P5110 and I also need to know which Custom Rom will work.
Thanks in advance.

You can install twrp using odin just like you did for cwm. To install a rom download the zip, boot into twrp, wipe system data cache and dalvik cache, select Install and browse to the rom zip. Any rom you find in the tab 2 forum that is for espressowifi should work on your device.

Yes you can overwrite cwm. Just put the rom somewhere you can find it from the twrp menu (internal storage or sd card). Also I forgot to mention that if you want play store you will have to flash a gapps package after flashing the rom.

Now I have the newest TWRP Recovery. It's a very nice GUI, but do I need to wipe system data cache and dalvik cache? Or can I just select "Install" and then select the right custom ROM?

When switching from a rom to another you ahould first wipe system data etc. Otherwise you will probably have problems like bootloop and apps crashing. The thread in the link you posted explains how to root a device (that is to add a few files extra in the rom you are using).

It all worked out fine. I used this one: lineage-13.0-20180128-nightly-espressowifi-signed.zip
And for the Google Apps: open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20180201.zip
Thanks for your help and maybe till next time with a different tablet. I also have a Samsung Tab E 9,6, but that's my back-up tablet in case the Tab 2 dies...
