[Q&A] Unofficial [BeanStalk], [DirtyUnicorns] 4.3 - Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G

So I've noticed a lot of posts in the development thread that are general questions instead of relating to the Development of the two ROM's. So please, ask in this thread your questions related to BeanStalk and DirtyUnicorns. Hopefully we can help each other out to make these two incredible ROM's better and not clog up the development forum.

What if you're running a different provider than T-Mobile? Like family mobile, Solavei, etc. Would you still download and flash the t989 radio? Or what. Please help

Factory reset/data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik. Go into mounts and storage and format data, cache, and system. Every now and again I'll format sdcard 0, but not every time. If you do this, make sure the rom is saved on external card, because if you do format sdcard 0 and the rom is saved there, you won't have a rom to flash. Flash ROM and gapps, you're good! I also suggest going to the blaze Bible and getting Blackhole. It's a beast when wiping for a clean install!

ROM Manager

Hey I was just browsing the market and decided to invest in Rom manager (used it religiously on my old Droid 1). Lo and behold we don't even have a cwm listed!
What needs to be done to have some of these roms I see on this board listed in that App?
Thanks and sorry for the noob question. (We need a Q and A board.)

You really should've looked a little as it's mentioned a billion times, BUT...
Just install CWM for the Galaxy S i9000, works perfect.

I will be eventually putting mine up there as well. I'm trying to do a complete overhaul for the next version of Refuse.
Yeah after a little newbie hiccups I am rocking a custom rom.

Would it be hard to add infuse to the cwm list in rom manager? So that way only infuse Rome would show up for people?

would have to work with Koush on that one. Don't see why not, we just need to get them separated... (Wouldn't be a bad idea seeing that really noobtastic people may pseudobrick their devices and need us to walk them through Odin restoral....)
I'm always one for lack of headaches. Keeps the real devs from having to field noob questions and pseudo-devs like myself with more free time to try and step up to full dev status....

I asked Koush today if he could add it...but he seemed busy with something. After looking at his twitter, I think he's still working on the Optimus series.

You would want to check all 3 if it is your first flash, that way if something goes wrong you have a backup to restore, and the other two need to check because they are cache for your original rom, not the new one.
It's worth doing the backup of your stock setup.
Wiping the data isn't necessary unless you are a stickler about starting "fresh".
Dalvik cache wipe never hurts.

If you are coming from stock, you need to wipe all. It can cause issues, i have seen it. You get lots of force close, stuff that is removed from stock would still be there, which could also cause problems. Its better to do a full wipe when going from stock to a custom rom, and when switching custom roms.
I think I made a mistake, it reboot into recovery and I guess I was to wipe data and cache then reboot into cyanogen rom, but I did not wipe data and cache, Now it froze on me. What can I do, Did I just brick my phone?

I'm getting conflicting answers.

I started using the cm7 nightly's today & i'm getting different answers on which to wipe between nightly's. Cache AND Dalvick or just one of them? Some ppl are saying u only have to wipe cache, i've seen just Dalvick & i've seen both. I'd asssume both but don't want to go thru an extra step if it's unnecessary. Thanks alot guys

Oh & is rom manager really safe to use? Can't i just use rom manager for the download & go into recovery manually & do it there? Thanks againe

It really depends on what changed in the nightly. It never hurts to wipe both, but it is usually the case that the system is smart enough to just rebuild odexes for the things that have changed therefore, I'd just go with the cache. I rarely wipe anything between CM7 flashes even many builds apart, but I live on the edge.

I've never used ROM manager so I can't say, but that sounds like the way to go.
I've had bad luck w/ Rom Mgr soft-bricking my phone. I prefer CWM.
Ok, thanks alot guys! I just wanted to make sure & yea, rom manager just doesn't feel as comfortable to me as doing it manually where can see what's going on & abort & restore if i can see something not going right. Mainly i just wanted to know if it was ok to download the rom from rom manager & then do it manually from there. Thanks again fellas :')

[Q] upgrading

ive been rooting my phones for the past couple of months now and recently been trying quite a bit of different roms and kernals, but i have a question if anyone does not mind answering for me. When doin a upgrade on on a certain rom would you recommend to always wipe: data, cache and dalvik cahce....thank you in advance for the help
It is recommended to do a full wipe, dalvik cache if you going from one type of Rom to another. Ex. from CM to Muiu, if you just trying to tests different version of same rom, full wipe is not necessary, but still recommended.
thanx for the help really appreciated....

ICS working rom help

Hello everyone i m glad to be here and this is my first post. Ok i have tried out many roms and seems CM9 from team acid work weel except wireless (wifi). I m now 2.3.6 and baseband is t959vuvtj6 any help to get wifi working?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
go to recovery
wipe cache
advanced - wipe dalvik cache
advanced - fix permissions
reboot system
and try again
if it didn't help, you can try flashing another modem - on ics we use the padded modems (you will find them here)
I tried to flash another modem but the baseband didnt change. Someone else have eveything working? sgs4g+cm9 unofficial?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
CM9 works just fine for WiFi. It is only the T-Mobile WiFi Calling feature that does not work on any ICS ROM for the SGS4G.
Changing the modem has nothing to do with the Wifi driver. It sounds like a bad flash or the way data was restored.
I'd read the Q&A thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729121 and post any unanswered questions there.

You might start by taking the advice he mentioned quoted above.

Dirty vs Clean

I know this is simple stuff, and I probably already know the answer, but there's no specific thread on it that I could find by searching.
What's the difference between a clean flash and a dirty flash? Just wiping the data, dalvik and cache?
I'm new to flashing on the S3. Thanks
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Yeah a clean flash just means you wipe data in addition to wiping cache and dalvik. While you only wipe cache and dalvik in dirty flashes. You're usually guaranteed not to have issues with clean flashes but you lose your app data.

I always clean= wipe data
That's what I thought, but just wanted to make sure it wasn't some extra step I didn't know about. Many thanks
Format data and wipe system is what is needed for a clean wipe (plus caches)
