Hi everyone!
I have three questions.
1. a) The installation instruction on slimroms.net says you should do system partition wipe as well in addition to normal TWRP wipe. I used to do normal TWRP wipe only when I flashed SlimBean, and it worked (maybe not since it got bricked). Wiping system is actually necessary?
b) When you update the ROM, do you have to do full wipe again? Or can I just flash the ROM zip file after erasing cache/dalvik? I have long been curious about this since the first instruction always has this phrase: 'if you are coming from a different ROM'.
2. Is there a simpler way than using TitaniumBackup after flashing?
3. Do I need to flash updateSU zip file every time I flash the ROM?
Thank you in advance!

1.a. In TWRP > Wipe menu > You have an option to wipe the system partition so you just have to check it. Before doing this make sure that the option -rm is checked in TWRP settings.
1.b. Only wipe cache and dalvik cache for an update.
2. TB is one of the best apps to restore apps & data. You can also create a flashable zip to restore your backup.
3. Yes as long as SuperSU isn't fully implemented in the rom.

Another question:
I flashed franco on SlimKat ROM. So, do I need to do full wipe when I update the ROM?
Or can I erase cache/dalvik > flash ROM > gapps > franco > SuperSU?

No. Wipe cache and dalvik is enough for an update so "cache/dalvik > flash ROM > gapps > franco > SuperSU" is correct.
I'm not sure for SlimKat but with some ROMs you don't need to flash GApps at each update.

That's good. I don't know why formatting cache takes so long with Nexus 5. I'm always stuck at "Formatting Cache using make_ext4fs function" for a minute or two. This didn't happen with my Galaxy Nexus.

Sorry for bothering you with similar questions, but I just wanted to make sure! When I change the kernel from franco to Trinity, I erase cache/dalvik and just flash Trinity, right? Only when I want to try out another ROM, I need to full wipe? Thanks.

If you didn't modify the rom=> you can flash a custom kernel WITHOUT any wipe
If you already change the kernel => you have to dirty flash your current rom (no wipe) then flash another custom kernel
If you want to try another rom => you have to full wipe: data+cache+dalvik+system

I recently upgraded my phone from HTC Sense 3.0 to 3.5.
I did so using the following:
Code:
Energy_2.6.2012.Sensation.Sense.3.5
Now, everything is working fine except for one tiny little thing.
It reboots randomly.
Any ideas?
what the development thread for that particular ROM says? Does other users experience the same?
did you follow all instructions for flashing the ROM?

I didn't factory reset it before installing it. Do you reckon I should factory reset and reinstall?
this is what the dev recommends for his ROM, not me (of course, if the ROM you are using is the same I referred to)
a) it would help if the ROM is not buggy itself
b) if to ask me? I wipe all partitions except SD card, and it works for me (factory reset is precaution)
p.s.also be sure to have the same firmware the dev is recommending.

I'm using the older ROM.
Code:
Gingerbread 2.3.5 ROM with Sense 3.5 !
How would I know if it's the ROM that is causing it?
Partitions? I don't think there are any.
where did you get that ROM in the first place?
I tried to search for the original thread, but couldn't locate it
about partitions - what kind of recovery tool are you using - ClockWordMod?
there are several partitions you can format manually - system, dalvik, cache

I'm using clockworkmod, yes.
So, from the same thread -
General rule of thumb before flashing:
- Unless specified, you don't need to Superwipe.
- However, before flashing, boot to recovery - wipe cache. Advanced - wipe dalvik. Now flash the new NRGZ Rom.
- Problems? Goto Settings - applications - HTC Sense - Wipe Data
- Still problems? Superwipe, as explained in FAQ 10.

FAQ 10
Q10: I was on stock (or another rom from another cook) and I flashed NRGZ ROM, now I am having some problems.
A:
1. Try rebooting the Phone and see if it makes a difference.
2. Reboot into recovery and clear cache and dalvik, reboot the phone and clear data of the apps causing problem.
3. If nothing else works, “SUPERWIPE”. Beware: A superwipe/ full wipe will erase EVERYTHING on the phone. EVERYTHING! So, be sure to backup what you want.

The re-installation is complete. Now we play the waiting game and see if it's shutting down.
Well it's been about an hour now and it has not shut down yet.
Seems like it worked!
Okay, now this is just ****ing weird. It didn't restart itself in like forever. And then when I went to bed it instantly restarted itself.
Now, I've restored the phone 3 or 4 times(I've had several restore points). But it's still restarting randomly.
I'm just really confused right now.
At this moment my phone is not currently on any new ROM.
I have now reinstalled my phone with ics. It's been running now for 12 hours without restarting. So I'm guessing It's fixed.
Just make sure you wipe everything before flashing

Thanks only a question: in practice that rom is the same of the stock with root permission? Or there are more function? I'm interested because i don't know rom stable as the stock (I mean with 4.1.2 or 4.1.1); I always read that are not stable yet (ex. cyanogen 10) and so I never tried one....

If you want to re-flash official's factory image, you have to unlock bootloader first,
also grab Android SDK from here: http://d.android.com/sdk/index.html, then unzip and add platform-tools's position to PATH
Did you unlock NS yet? If no, you can reference to CM's wiki:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Nexus_S:_Full_Update_Guide#Unlocking_the_Bootloader
Note: this will wipe all the data including sdcard.
Here are mac/linux's quick step:
Download official factory image from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#sojujzo54k, then unzip it.
Boot into the bootloader.
Open terminal, and move into the unzipped folder, then type: sh ./flash-all.sh (default flash-all will wipe user data with -w)
Done.

I have few doubts regarding installation and operating CM9. Currently, I'm on JaggyROM 3.
Q1.
- Copy GApps and CM9 ZIPs to your SDCard
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I need 20120429.zip for CM9 #8, right?
Q2.
- Flash CM9 zip from SDCard
- Flash GApps zip from SDCard
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is this actual order of steps? Cause afaik, we have to first do the reset/wipe & then apply update. And in which order should I apply the CM9 & GApps? or any order is OK?
Q3.
- 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!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is THE most important question. How should I restore data?
Will it be OK if I installed ONLY APPS first with help of an installer and then used Titanium to restore data?
Can't wait to install this wonderful ROM.
Thanks.
I used this steps without a problem.
1. Download and copy rom to sdcard
2. Boot/Reboot into CWM
3. Backup your existing ROM (just in case)
4. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
5. Goto mounts/storage, mount cache, data, system
6. Format boot, cache, data, system, advanced menu dalvik
7. Install zip from sdcard, choose zip from sdcard, choose "cm-9-20121102-UNOFFICIAL-pico.zip"
8. Wait for it to install, when finished reboot, wait until on homescreen, leave to settle for afew minutes then reboot again
9. Flash gapp
Those are instructions for installing a clean stock cyanogen rom.
-from liverpool-fan
and this is the CM9#8 filename cm-9-20121004-UNOFFICIAL-pico.zip
Actually, I am confused about GApp file name.
And should I install apps in two steps? First only apps and then the app data?

Hi and thanks for all the help and pre-thanks for any help on this. I am just a TAD paranoid from a previous flash.
I have been running CM10.1 20130330 and gapps 20130301 for 2 plus weeks now. It was pretty stable until I restored Talkback from my Titanium backup from the GB backup and then said, I am not blind and tried to remove it with TBU and it wouldn't install. Everything works ok with some warnings that::gmail, gaaps, email, TBU, etc have guit working, I press on and things work.
I want to flash the CM.1 20130416 and gapps 20121212.
Following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776129 Scott's directions for coming from JB 4.1 I would need to do a Factory reset?
CWM: Wipe Cache / Factory Reset Note: You should be fine without this step, but it is HIGHLY recommended as it makes certain all bugs are wiped clean. (Should be fine???)
Install ROM: Scroll down for downloads
Install OC kernel [Optional]: Scroll down for downloads (not using)
Install Gapps: Here (the latest for JB 4.2.1 - 12/12/12) - Working swipe! ---- Here (the latest for JB 4.1.2) - New GAPPs 10/11/2012
CWM: Wipe Cache Partition
CWM: Advanced/Wipe Dalvik Cache
Reboot
TWO questions:
1. Factry reset removes all my programs doesn't it (?) and I would need to re-install again, right? or restore from Titanium BU? or CWM Blue Restore?
2. I am reading about the nightlies and do you guys wipe everything every time or what?
I am getting the hang of it and enjoying basically a new phone and really don't want to go back to stock with this if I can avoid it.

Since you are already having some fc issues from restoring I would recommend
1) Factory reset
2) Go to Mounts and storage
3) Format system
4) Format data
5) Format cache
6) Flash ROM, flash G-apps(either for 4.2.2 is fine)
7) Wipe dalvic
8) Reboot
Once you have done this either let playstore re-install apps, or install manually. Do NOT restore data

Use the Jan 16 version. As with any playing around, do a backup before flashing cm-11. If you need to do any sdcard partitioning, do it on the old version as these functions are not in this new version.

Yes, you flash the new recovery with the old recovery first. Reboot to new recovery. Remember to wipe user data/factory reset along with wiping Dalvik cache and formatting system from the mounts and storage item. Then install your CM11 ROM.

I would hope that the update.zip you are referring to is a flashable recovery. From the link posted it is. It's the newest recovery with support for KitKat ROMs. Flash this like you would flash anything else. IE; Install zip from sdcard. Then go to 'Advanced' and choose reboot recovery. This will reboot you in to the new recovery you just flashed.
From there do "Wipe data/factory reset" and then go to "Advanced" again and select "Wipe Dalvik cache". Go back to CWM main menu and then select "Mounts and storage". From there only select "Format /system". Back to CWM main menu. Select 'Install zip from sdcard'. If the ROM is on your external SD, which it should be, then choose "install from external sd". Confirm the installation and wait for it to install. Back to CWM main menu and choose reboot system. Voila!
Now I don't wanna seem harsh, but there are countless threads that explain how to flash a ROM/zip. XDA enforces using their search function to help prevent multiple threads of roughly the same content from being created. So in the future, please use the Search function before creating a new thread.

Good man, I'll try it
But after that I'll update I can install the cm7 if I wanted?
Clockwork 6.0 only flash cm10~cm11. If you like to install anothrer version, like cm9 or cm7 you have to flash first rhe clockwork 5.0. And then rwboot recovery and then flash zip. So, once you have downloaded the flashable zip for clock 5.0 and the wanted rom you have to do
1- Copy clock 5 and rom to sd card.
2- Reboot recovery
3- Flash clock 5
4- Reboot recovery
5- flash wanted rom under the rom instructions.
6- Enjoy

I cannot say if CM11 supports Hebrew or not, sorry. However, in order to install CM11 you need the newest recovery 6.0.4.6 as you've already figured out. That recovery, 6.0.4.6, will allow you to swap between CM10.2 and CM11 with no issues. To go back to older Android versions you will need to revert back to your older CWM first.
Clock 5.0 is capable of flash:
-CM7
-CM9
-CM10
-CM10.1
-CM10.2
Clock 6.0 is capable of flashing:
-CM10
-CM10.1
-CM10.2
-CM11
Hope it helps you.

If you don't plan on having a GMail account attached to the device, have no need for the Play Store and some others, then no, don't flash GAPPs. Though I suspect you'll find that you will want/need to.
There is no safe way to increase the internal memory, as in change partition sizes, of these devices.

Sorry, no Skype for me. Yes you can downgrade CWM but I wouldn't advise it unless you are going to go back to an older version of Android.

I would make a backup of my current ROM with my current recovery before proceeding. After that it sounds like you've got the steps figured out

The backup statement I made was just a precaution. It's better to be safe than sorry.
I don't understand why you want to install CM11 and then downgrade your recovery. That makes no sense to me. Any flashable zips that need installed will also need the same recovery. CM11 added some new and reworked commands to the scripting language used to install flashable zips thru recovery. That's why you need to upgrade recoveries.
