First install recovery from here
cwm recovery is a poweful tool to backup,restore,flash roms,also helps in formatting,partitioning,wiping cache from sd card
To install custom Rom -
Now firstly download any Rom that you like
Now put it in root of your sd card
just take out the battery and reinsert it
Now hold power key and volume down key for few seconds
You will get cwm recovery now select wipe data partition,wipe cache
Now select install from sd card select the file and select yes
Wait for some time to get it install
Reboot and now your new Rom is install
to backup a rom simply select backup and restore, then select backup in cwm recovery
For info about roms,themes,developments,tricks see this thread every thing about htc explorer
explorer also has working cm9 you can try it from here
cm9.1

Or else if you want to skip all the tedium......an ideal rom would be NEXTGEN 1.2
it's better because the development is still active and no problems....no overlays and bugs.....also the tutorial is noob friendly....An ideal replacement to A BUG FREE CM9
After rooting, you get (near)complete control over your device for your warranty. You can do almost everything your device(and your experience level) can handle.
If you want to play very safe, you can just try the new root only apps in market.
If you don't like the way Sense looks, you can use UOT Kitchen to cook a custom theme for your phone.
If you want to tinker with your phone's performance, you can use a variety of scripts and flashable zips for Explorer.
If you run out of internal memory and want to extend it, you can use Link2SD.
If those tweaks don't cut your hunger to customize, you can try using new ROMs. And yes, you can use CyanogenMod 9.

1. is there any problem with cm9.1. i read that it drain in half a day even in normal use.. is that true..
2. now i have Yannou's recovery..can i flash thru that..
3. before flashing should i partition ma sd card or can we do dat after flashin?? if i should do partition which is best ext2/3/4 or fat32. now ma sd card isnt partitioned once also. so can i do before flashing then after have to move cm9.1 rom zip file to sd card.
4. i read that partition can also be done with recovery menu.. is that true. if yes. how to do that.. i read partition for s2e(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859691- here) what about link2sd.. can we partion for link2sd by(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29724634&postcount=3 ) with that can we do.. will it work for cm9.1.
5. i read instruction for for flashing cm9.1 rom. there are two different methods which one to follow.
Installation
First time installing CyanogenMod 9 to your Htc Explorer/Pico, or coming from another ROM:
- Make sure you're running a proper working ClockworkMod-Recovery
- Copy GApps and CM9 ZIPs to your SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash CM9 zip from SDCard
- Flash GApps zip from SDCard
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)
- Reboot
- Don't restore data using Titanium Backup! they might cause FC's
- Restoring Apps + Data might cause problems and is not recommended, avoid it if possible! (metioned in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29938916) or (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33608084&postcount=2897).
please help me.. waitin for ua valuble reply..
Guide
Hey there
1. The battery life depends on how you use your phone. If you’re connected to a 3G network all day while playing or watching videos, the battery won’t last that long. For casual everyday use, the battery is great. I didn’t charge it for 2 days once
2. Yes, you can flash through yannou’s recovery but it would be ideal if you flash CWM recovery since it’s recommended. If you partition your sd card, it will be automatically formatted so its best if you back up your data, partition the sd card and then copy all the files. You can partition using CWM and then install Link2sd which, when opened, it will prompt you with the file system of your sd ext. Choose ext3 and reboot. The partition itself isn’t needed for cm9.1 but you can you a2sd scripts if you’re partitioned.
3. To flash it, download the rom and gapps. Put them in the sdcard. Then boot into recovery, wipe data/factory reset, go to advanced -> wipe dalvik. Then install zip from sd card and find the rom. After you flash the rom, flash the gapps and reboot. Give it a few minutes since the first boot takes some time. And there you go

No, no, stick with yannou's! Official cwm sometimes give's mounting issues with our phone, and sometimes if you drain fully your battery you'll get in to adventure.
Yes flashing process is the same, basikly everything is the same as cwm
Install ROM Manager on your phone and the first option should be to install Clockworkmod Recovery. Follow the instructions on screen. I'd use yannou's recovery though.
Yes, the instructions are the same for yannou's recovery.
And yes, I've used cm9.1 for over 2 months. I'm using HTC sense 4.0a rom by derefas right now

Nothing serious with this matter. Almost all recovery will work with this ROM. But my opinion is use TWRP recovery, it provide lot of feature also its provide touch support and ext partition support also....

3. before flashing should i partition ma sd card or can we do dat after flashing?? if i should do partition which is best ext2/3/4 or fat32. now ma sd card isnt partitioned once also. so can i do before flashing then after have to move cm9.1 ROM zip file to SD card.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
its depends upon Ur need man. If Ur going to use internal memory increasing script u must have an 2nd partition in Ur SD card. ext2/3/4 is depend upon the memory script and ROM Ur going to use..
My Suggestion:
Try m2sd script with ext4 partition its work like a charm.. but i read from some post ext4 will damage SD sooner. but perform better. i am always need performance. but i am sure that till now no damage or performance issue occurred in my SD card as well as phone.
before or after partition is ur choice when u need partition u do it. But some ROM need 2nd partition while flashing be careful on that but cm9.1 doesn't need any support from sd card

5. i read instruction for for flashing cm9.1 rom. there are two different methods which one to follow.

Both the instruction telling the same thing for u. Here is my guide as same like they stated...
1.copy Ur ROM and GAPPS zip to ur SD-card
2.wipe all the partition data,cache,system,dalvik,etc... except SD-card
3.install ROM zip then install GAPPS zip.
4.Then reboot..
5.wait until u get the home screen.. first boot take some time so be patient
6.After that leave Ur phone for a minute then once again restart Ur phone.
7. final but important click thanks to the Developer and other who help u to install the ROM successfully..
this instruction is for clean installation this will never lead Ur device to problem

thanq u all.. but i have some clarification about partiton only.. can anybody give me guide about partitons for CM9.1 . which is best, simple and error free, wheather to go partition then flashing or flashing then partition.. and plz give me guide thru recovery.. and where its pre or post flashing.. pls do needful..
edit :
im unable to figure it out abot s2e scripts, int2sd scripts.. so please tell me actually what are those and how the linked with ext2/3/4 partitioms..
Its simple if ur using recovery for partition u will lose all the data in SD card. So use mini partition wizard tool for make partition.. after or before flashing is does not matter if u going to add memory script then partition memory card... then add the rom zip then flash it..

As much as i remember, Older builds of CM9.1 had battery drain problems. It has been rectified in the latest builds (Aleast have been rectified in build 10 and 11)
I say you go for CM9.1 Build 11 by ayushrox. I am using it right now. I run my phone with extensive Music usage for 1 and half to 2 days. I have once kept my phone running without charge for 3 days. Right now as i type, i am off the charger for 12 hours, still i have 55% battery remaining, this is good for me, as i use an always on internet.
I never used CWM. I use a different recovery (i dont know its name), and i flash using it successfully.
I use Link2SD with a partition i made BEFORE the installation. I use Minitool Partition Wizard to create partitions. It is for Windows.
I always ask people to do a clean install. This would eradicate any issues in the future.

I have never used Mount2SD and int2sd
When you create a partition in your memory card, open Link2SD. Link2SD will ask you the partition type, select and tap ok. The app creates mount script by itself.
Link2SD is a 500KB app at the Play Store.

I never used Mount2SD and never will, cos link2sd works well for me.
Here is what i did:
1. Partition microSD with format ext2. (I used Minitool Partition Wizard for this. A freeware program for Windows)
2. Insert it in the phone, download Link2SD from Play Store.
3. Open Link2SD, it will prompt you to select your partition type. Select ext2.
4. Link2SD will create a mount script and ask you to restart the phone. Do so.
5. After restart, go back to Link2SD, press menu button to open menu.
6. Open "Settings". Make sure "Auto link" is ticked.
7. Exit Link2SD, do a restart.
Thats it! now whenever i install an app, Link2SD sends it to the partition automatically.
Sometimes you may get a phone memory full notification. In that case power off your phone and on it again.
EDIT: all this was done with CM9.1 previously installed.
So what are steps to install cm9.1.
Is it necessary to clear dalvik cache.

Hello .
Thanks for looking into my question.
My English is not good enough ,but i tried my best to explain my problem.
My mobile is Samsung Galaxy S GT I9003 ,and 4 month ago i installed CM9 alpha 14 ROM on my mobile.and somewhere on XDA i read to swap internal and external memory.so i did it on my mobile. and from last one month my mobile was draining too much battery so i thought to install a new ROM ( SLIM BEAN ) . and i was having mobile ODIN so i tried to install using it.while installation it was taking too long ..more then 15 minutes .so i though that mobile ODIN may be not working so i switch off my mobile in between.
and after starting it was a Samsung logo animation loop. and now i thought to install it using recovery and install from SD card..
but mobile recovery is not showing external sd card, and i have no idea how i can install it...
I also tried to install from desktop ODIN but SLIMBEAN zip have lot of files .. and i think this ROM can only be installed using External SD card..
Please help me how to install...
IF it can be installed using Desktop ODIN that would be great or if i can get path of external SD card in recovery mode..
thanks

you always have to flash a custom rom via cwm recovery NOT via odin or mobile odin!
you should try to flash pit and full kpe via desktop odin and then you have to flash ddlf2 and cf-root .
after this you can flash the rom you want via cwm recovery
