Before flashing and applying a new ROM, be sure to make a backup of your device.
Nexus S got a ton of custom ROMs available. I like MIUI .2.3.7 (more recent ones are too heavy fo the Nexus), Cyanogen is great! If you ant a solid 2.3.7 rom, have a look at Pete's Bugless Beast and Francisco Franco Nexus S kernel. Clockwork Mod proposes them via the app for free.

If I update to the newest gapps by flashing through recovery do I need to wipe anything like cache?

proper way to flash kernel

With the new Kernel from 7/05, in the [ROM][Unofficial AOKP]UNi-yuma-PoRN Build40[062912][Aroma], do we need to do a full wipe or can this be flashed over the existing Rom.
I just didn't want to lose all the other apps with the full wipe.

Kernels can be flashed over the rom without a wipe, since they don't change anything in the file system.

Just flash the cwm package, Pete.
No wipe needed.
I will give it a try.

How can I confirm if I am running Yuma? I installed the Kernel and it appears to have installed properly during the procedure but when I check "About Phone" I'm not sure what it is supposed to say.

Generally, wipe data/cache, install TW ROM of choice.
Should've done a nandroid once you rooted

Fixed :cyclops:
ive read that its best to go back to a stock ROM or back to stock before flashing from AOSP rom.
If you dont some system files will be left behind in different partitions that might give you issues.
id wipe 3x. restore a stock nandroid, then wipe again, then flash tw rom

I have a nandroid; just want to make sure I follow the best practices if I decide to go back to touchwiz. I'm in love with this "Code" rom right now so I won't go back any time soon.. .I think

Learned that extra wipes can only help not hurt. Haha good ole htc taught me that. Thunderbolt and rezound haha and I only do the system wipe when switching aosp to tw. Not tw to tw. That's a waste of time haha

i bounce back and forth all the time btween touchwiz/aosp... all i do is wipe data/factory reset 1 time then flash rom or nandroid restore.

(Q) Brick bug?

I'm rooting a friends at&t skyrocket tomorrow that is on official ics update from at&t and was wondering if that brick bug was still present.I know i might be a little late with this. I was told by a friend that it was only present on the ics leaks for this phone and just wanted to make sure now that this has official ics that i won't have any problems worrying about a brick on my hands by wiping data factory reset in cwm. Go easy on me please I was on the OG evo when all of this brick stuff happened so I never payed much attention to it
Thanks in advance

Regardless, wiping data/factory reset using cwm won't effect anything. I'm pretty sure that problem was the result of wiping in the phones settings menu (if I remember right).

Honestly, i'm not sure. I never really worried about it. Always use CWM for wiping and never had a problem with anything.
I think it happens when you try to format the internal SD card. Its an emmc bug (I think) but I don't have the bug and my i777 doesn't have it. I thought it was on the specific kernel for the i777 and the international variants.

No sense in rooting if your gonna flash aokp. Just push cwm with Odin and flash away:thumbup: you can flash without rooting as long as you have a custom recovery installed

Just follow the sticky here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398
Once you get it rooted with CWM, i'd suggest updating CWM to this version - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777970
If you're looking for the JellyBean version of AOKP, i'd really suggest this - http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34092-aokp-unofficial-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-i727-nov-04-milestone-1/
As far as flashing it, I:
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache
-mounts & storage [format /system]
-advanced [wipe dalvick cache]
-flash rom
-flash gapps
-reboot
*you can do these x2 or x3 each if you wish just to be sure everything is clear*
Hopefully some of this will help if you already don't know any of it. Any other questions, shoot me a pm if you need or i'm sure someone here can help.

i already had that version of aokp and have everything installed and in a folder im prepared . And that the same process i use on my GS3 but i use TWRP. Yea i was looking at that updated version i was gonna flash TWRP through odin for his phone but looks like CWM touch looks better on this phone then it was for my original evo and GS3
edit: do you have any kernel recommendations for this phone? I was gonna flash this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949828 but i dont have this phone so i wouldnt really know which kernel work best. He really wants to overclock so thats the only preference he wants to be able to do
Hi, I used this method for my gs2 international. Using the zip method of Cwm and it worked without problems. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28178105 The big bug is also details in the links. Good luck.
