Hello,
I flashed one of the CM 10.1 that I found on CM website, and then I flashed GAPPS, but the version I downloaded has some bugs, so I want to choose a different CM version, but I don't know how to. I mean, what will happen with GAPPS? Do I need to follow same procedure as for installing CM for the first time i.e flashing CM, and then flashing GAPPS again?
Also, I have non-touch CWM recovery and I downloaded the touch version from CWM website, but I'm not sure how to do it, is it done with regular Odin via PC , or with something called "Mobile Odin"?
If you want to flash a newer nightly, you can either perform a clean flash or dirty flash. Clean flashing means you wile your data and flash cm along with Google apps again and start fresh. Dirty flashing means you just wipe your cache and dalvik cache and flash cm on top of the old cm which allows you to keep your data. Research both and decide what you prefer.
As for cwm, simply flash the new touch version in cwm and it'll overwrite the old cwm nontouch.

Thanks, I have last question regarding flashing new rom:
I flashed CM, but then I separately flashed GAPPS, so I dont know if GAPPS will be removed when installing new rom, or do I need to manually remove GAPPS before flashing new rom?
I hope you understand what I'm trying to ask :silly:
If you're dirty flashing, you don't need to reflash Google apps. However, if you're clean flashing then you are wiping everything so you'll need to reflash Google apps.
You don't need to remove it or anything before flashing the new rom. If you feel more comfortable flashing it, you can because it'll just overwrite your old Google apps.

Rooted p-5100 10 inch tab2 and flashed cm9 and love it but now need to try cm10
1-how to transfere from cm9 to cm10 ?
2-we need to flash cwm 6.01.0 right?
3-we flash cwm via oden or cwm 5?
4-we need to flash a different version of gapps right ?
5-do we need factory reset and cashes erase if transfere from cm9 to cm10?
Mohamed Selim
while flashing the latest cwm(from a zip is fine) and factory restoring before changing to a different major version is recommended, it isn't always necessary.
for me going from cm9 to cm10 it was no problem to stay on an older recovery, and keeping my data.
but if you experience problems after updating it's best to do a factory restore, and it never hurts to have a more recent recovery.
as you mentioned you do need JB google apps.
and while wiping cache is often recommended after flashing a new rom, it's usually not necessary unless you experience problems.
if you choose to keep your data and cache you shouldn't expect support from developers here though.
Hello,
I recently installed custom Jellywiz rom on my Verizon S3.
My question is if I have new custom rom versions or if I want to switch to a different rom, do I always have to go back to stock firmware and then install the custom rom or can I directly flash over my existing custom rom ?

New custom rom versions: Unless otherwise stated by the developer you can go ahead and just dirty flash right on top of the current one, but if you experience issues then i'd wipe data and cache and do a clean install.
Switching to a different rom: ALWAYS do a clean install (wipe data, and cache), i can't urge how important that is, while you may not have any issues whatsoever, you definitely could encounter issues because each developer may have different changes, and you don't want stuff to mix and match.

Thanks. So just flashing over existing rom after wiping data and cache will work. Will do that. I do not want to go back to stock rom always as that is time consuming.

You can flash stock roms in CWM, but be careful if they don't include a kernel. If you go from AOSP to Stock, you might get a boot loop unless you also flash a stock compatible kernel, and vice versa. Boot loop is easily recoverable of course, but it will scare new users

Hi All,
I have posted this on the GooManager thread but there hasn't been much activity there recently so asking here as well. Noob question on GooManager...I have the AOKP rom installed on my Sensation and GooManager notifies me of updates to my ROM every now and then. I just want to know if updating my ROM build with GooManager will reset all my custom ROM settings and preferences or will they all be preserved? I'd like to keep my ROM up to date but if it means spending all the time again to setup my preferences and icons/widgets/home screens etc. then I'd rather stick with what I have.
TIA!
I'd recommend to use GooManager only to download the newest ROM and flash it from recovery.
I asume you're using AOKP Swagger from frankenstine, the same I use.
I just download the update from GooManager, boot to recovery, flash ROM, gapps and 4.2 stuff and are ready to go.
All my settings are their after updating - only AdAway needs a reconfiguration and a reboot (and I need to set my alarm clock since I'm overwriting that). Basically you keep all your settings except those you made to the kernel.
Regards

Oh perfect, yes indeed I am using that exact ROM.
OK so when I boot to recovery, I shouldn't do any wiping? Just simply flash the new file? Will the updated gapps package be in the download I get from GooManager?

I only wipe dalvik & cache after each update.
I can't say something about what GooManager downloads as "gapps", I use some I downloaded some weeks ago + some old version of 4.2 stuff. I might need to update my flash-setup too

Thanks lolmachine, for the benefit of anyone who might have the same question as me the following worked:
- Downloaded latest build of my AOKP Rom via GooManager
- Downloaded latest gapps package for my ROM via GooManager
- Boot to Recovery
- Flash new ROM file and then gapps package
- Restart.
My only question is, I didn't wipe davlik and cache so should I, and what difference does it make if I don't?
I used Goo the other day to flash, ummm, bugger, can't remember if it was an update or a new rom.
Oh now I remember, the latest one was an update to Bruce's Rom. I do believe when I tapped flash rom it booted to recovery (the one it installs) and I may have had to select "Install" from there, don't think so though. Either way, I used Goo to handle the install.
I didn't do a wipe. From what I've picked up, wiping is a good way to cover your butt. So if you're having issues and didn't wipe, you go back and do it all again with a wipe. Doing the wipe to start with means you can eliminate those types of issues from the start.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong (which I probably am )
Hi there, I also received an update to my ROM via Goo Manager. It is CyanogenMod 10.1 by Albinoman887 for my HTC Sensation XE. I am using the EXT4 bootloader. I just installed it a few nights ago so I am completely new to rooting. My question is that there is no option to wipe dalvik cach. EXT4 just says wipe cache, wipe data and wipe system. Does wipe cache wipe dalvik cache as well. Also do I need to re-flash gapps as well after updating and will this wipe my gmail accounts etc?
Thanks,
Adam

You want to select "wipe dalvik+cache" option when you flash an update.
There's no need to flash gapps after a ROM update.

Simple.
Go to recovery.
For s-on you must enable smartflash.
Do a nandroid backup.
Dirty flash the update (meaning flash over the previous rom without wiping).
Dirty flash gapps (signed only).
Wipe cache + dalvik.
Reboot.
If it can't boot/run properly then you can just restore the backup or do a clean flash.
First off I'm not experienced in any way, got my Sensation unlocked, rootet and installed Sultanxda's 4.4.2 ROM for sensation. I'm on S-On, too, if anyone wonders.
Updating didnt affect my apps as far as I can tell. Everything seems to be the way as before and everything seems to be working.
What I did was download the ROM manually since the download with goomanager didn't work. I downloaded gapps as backup because I didnt have the zip on my SD, just in case anything would go wrong.
You only need to boot into recovery, with S-On make sure smartflashing or something like that is on, select the zip, flash it and then select wipe cache +dalvik.
It's pretty much what AndroidSupporter318 wrote, just wanted to give feedback and say what I did in detail in case anyone was still wondering.

I guaranted 4EXT Recovery for this type of problem. U don't need to boot into recovery and work with 4ext is very simple.
So I dirty flash upgraded LiquidSmooth to the latest. I noticed everything went well, I wiped cache/dalvik and booted up. My google contacts were gone along with my whole account. I re-flashed and installed gapps afterwards. Did I do something wrong? Or is this the process usually?

Are your. Apps like play store still there? If they are then just re add google account or just reflashed gapps, better safe then sorry
I've never used that ROM, but the general answer to your question is no. Only flash gapps when starting from nothing.

It was weird. I booted up without a google account. No google apps or anything. So I just reflashed Gapps. I didn't have the option to add an account for Google.
That happened to me once or twice. No issues from flashing gapps though.

I've dirty flashed 3 different ROMs multiple times (usually wipe data), and each time gapps were still there. The only issue I've run into was an older market bug so I re-flashed the latest gapps.
All wrong answers, always re flash your gapps when flashing an aosp rom regardless if it's a new install or a dirty update. When dirty flashing your gapps should not be there anymore, if they are they are ghost remnants of the old build. Your data for your gapps will remain on a dirty flash so you need not worry about setting things up again.

This. Always reflash gapps after dirty flashing a rom.
I personally clean flash 99% of the time, it prevents so many problems.
check updater-script
maybe the ROM had a line of script to delete factory data...
Some ROMs have that line in their "updater-script" file...I remember flashing an ICS rom that did that..:/
If yes...then you will have to flash gapps again..Check the file(if possible) before dirty flashing the next time..:good:
But as a thumb-rule...always flash gapps after flashing AOSP/AOKP etc. ROMs..
Hope this helps..Don't forget to hit thanks!
Is it OK to just flash the new GApps without reflashing the ROM or doing anything else?
Edit: wrong post
I need help stuck in error message.
Phone: Verizon Galaxy S3 Sch-i535
Ok Heres what it did
(Phone already rooted)
I Downloaded and Flashed a Custom Rom from goo. manager (Samsung Galaxy S III (Verizon) CyanogenMod - d2vzw / cm-10.1.2-d2vzw.zip) and The gapps that came along with it.
Also downloaded Ez unlock to unlock my boot loader. (unlocked the boot loader)
Phone was successfully flashed with the new CyanogenMod, everything booted up fine. But when the phone starts to setup, i get an error message saying: Unfortunately, the process com.process.gapps has stopped.
i click ok and it keeps popping up.
Also between that error message I get another error message saying: Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has Stopped.
Can't access any part of the phone. Just stuck in the error message loop.
I do however have access to the recovery mode options that let you Install, wipe backup restore, mount, settings, advanced, reboot.
PLEASE HELP
You flashed the wrong gapps. Just boot into recovery, wipe, flash only the rom, then find the correct gapps, download them, boot back into recovery, flash new gapps, reboot system and you should be good to go.:good:
Don't flash roms in goo manager. Learn to do it the right way.
What is the correct gapps for rootbox 4.x and why is flashing gapps necessary? Should the wipes be done before the gapps or after?
I had the same problem as hesbordofallofus and managed to get back into TWRP and flash my old 4.1.1 rom. I'd like to check out a 4.2.2 or 4.3 vanilla rom. Clean rom 5.5.1 works well but uses battery up fast.

and what is "The right way" ? i only used goo manager because i have a mac and it's a little bit more difficult to flash a samsung Device with a macbook pro.
The problem with goo manager is that, obviously there's a chance you're going to flash the wrong gapps. I don't use clockwork mod recovery because when I rooted my phone with CASUAL it installed TWRP. But, I assume they both work the same way. When you flash files from recovery, you have to manually download the rom and gapps packages from their respective servers so as long as you've done the reading and the quadruple checking, you will flash the correct files for YOU'RE phone. Learning how to boot into recovery manually, using the three button combo is a very important part of flashing roms. And getting comfortable moving around in whatever recovery you're using makes it less likely that you will make a fatal mistake.
I probably spend an hour or two reading in my phones' forum everyday. I want to make sure I understand how to do what I'm doing properly and have a plan for when things go wrong. So read, read, read!!!!!

the gapps package is necessary because the package is a set of apps like the Play Store, Gmail, and other google apps. You can't sign into you're Google account without Gaaps. The process is always this:
1: wipe Data+ Cache
2. Install ROM (updater-script in ROM zip wipes system for u)
3. Flash PROPER GAAPS
4. Reboot
Remember "System" is essentially your Operating system. So don't wipe that manually unless you have a nandroid or a ROM zip as a backup. There is really no need to wipe system manually in Recovery because a the updater-script in a ROM zip always erases system for u. Just worry about formatting data manually before flashing ROM. Also remember when you flash a Gaaps package it gets installed to your system partition NOT Data. Just some info for you. Remember if you don't know how to do something ASK!! nobody is stupid here and no questions are dumb. If it keeps you from bricking your device then ask. Also READ READ READ! Always make sure you know what you r flashing and that it is meant for your device. The last thing you want to do is to flash a kernel or ROM made for a different version of ur device.

I'm not sure what you mean by manually formatting data. I'm also not really sure what you mean when you say don't manually wipe. My personal opinion is, when in doubt follow the dev's instructions. So for instance, when I decided on PACMAN, I went to the dev's page, scrolled down to the links to the downloads, grabbed that, then used link to the gapps, grabbed those, and usually right under the links, there's a brief set of directions for installing the rom/gapps. I always just do what they say. It's become a routine for me to research, pick a rom, grab the files, make as sure as humanly possible I've got them correct, make a fresh nandroid, then proceed.
When I say manually wipe I mean going into the wipe menu in recovery and choosing wipe data etc

"The last thing you want to do is to flash a kernel or ROM made for a different version of ur device." Done that!
So the reason I couldn't get all my apps (I could see them) or get into playstore, log onto google find my contacts, etc. is that I didn't flash the gapps. BIG QUESTION: how do I know which gapps to flash? (BTW I dropped back to cleanrom 5.5.1 and it works fine but I can't send texts. I receive but can't send.) If I could I'd give it a rest and do my real work.
Usually the dev posts the Gaaps package you need in the OP if their thread or on their site.
