Why not use one of the official or cooked ROM's?
Or you can use this to easily dump a rom ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=238945

[Q] Rom update without losing apps except Lestatious?

I´m using Lestatious Rom.
I like it, but I want to try another custom rom.
The good thing with Lestatious: I can update without losing my apps and preferences.
Is there another custom rom which has this ability? (I know that titanium backup exists, but I don´t like it - it failed to often for a complete backup/restore).

Instead of posting a new thread you could have just seen the update method of custom rom of ur choice...well there is none except lestatious....

S4 (4.2.2) is it leaked to S3 ??

Hi All:
This is my first time here, I've been looking for a Rom for my S3 which can make it more similar to S4 with all its featuers.
I flashed many Rom and most of them has the 4.2.2 update but it has the nexus touch which I didnt like on my S3.
Any recommendations for a good Rom which is stable and have no issues..
Thanks in advance

The only answer I can give you is: Take a look in the developers forum. If you see something you like, try it. Maybe go for a rom with a stock (Samsung/TouchWiz) look, since that's what you're used to from the stock ROM. Actually, I'd start off by rooting your phone(you've already done that, since you've flashed a lot of ROMs), and remove all the bloatware you never use from stock ROM. Maybe replace a few of the stock apps with better alternatives. This makes the phone faster, and frees up memory.
You can also freeze apps, if you're not comfortable with removing them from the stock ROM. This thread discusses which apps are safe to freeze/remove. The OP links to this document showing a spreadsheet of apps that are safe/not safe to freeze/remove.
If you're not familiar with the term "freezing apps", you should do a forum search(or just Google) Titanium Backup. It's a feature LOADED (you guessed it...) backup-app, which allows you to freeze apps if you don't want to uninstall them completely. In short, it "disables" the app, removing it from the drawer, but keeping it installed. You can easily unfreeze the apps if you need them to work for you again.
Hope this helped you on you way. The world of custom ROMs is huge, so you're guaranteed to find somehing you like.
Regards,
Kombian

Thanks a lot for all the information that you've shared with me, I am still not familiar with many things in rooting which I might need your help with that.
The first thing, what you guys mean by Stock Rom? does it mean the original android framework that was not modified yet?
2nd: how to remove all the bloatware? and what do you mean by bloatware?
3rd: is it bad for the handset to be flashed again and again with many different ROMs? I always follow the steps which the developers mention in flashing any new ROM, so is there any right ways to do that without damaging my phone?
for now these are all the doubts that I have about rooting, but I might come up with many points in the future,
I hope you guys can help me in getting more knowledge about it, and thanks a lot for your precious time that you are giving me
Thanks again

[HELP] apps disapeared and external memory was deleted

Hello guys, it has been several times that I had problems with my device.
Some forced closing advices often appeared on the screen and I was not able to use most of the apps of my phone. Turned off the device and then turned on, lots of apps disapeared and the external memory was completely deleted (apps, photos, mp3s and so on).
Recently, some google error advices appeared on my phone and later all gapps (Play included) disapeared.
I always tried to restore the device flashing stock ROM.
This situation is exasperating me and I would like to know the reasons of it and how to solve it. Can anybody help me? Thank you!
My device is a Galaxy Fit with stock flashed ROM, rooted (Superuser). External memory (16GB MicroSD card) was partitioned using CWM (flashed) in two portions: ext2 (2048M) and fat32. Partition was made to use Link2SD app and save most of internal memory. I also installed AdAway (non Play app) to hide banners.
Thanks again and see you soon!

Did u use cwm 5.0.2.7 (by tjstyles)? If yes, then for ur info. it creates ext4 partition, not ext2. Also, pls. mention baseband version of ur stock rom & ur country/region.

Thank you for answering me.
No, I did not. I downloaded CWM from the web and I do not remember where. Actually, I do not think that my CWM could have the same particularity (unknown till now) that tjstyles one has, because Link2SD never accepted ext4 partition (it automatically used ext2).
S5670DDKT1 and Italy, Europe.
Thank you and see you soon...

S5670DDKT1 is of India. For Italy I found this S5670XWKTO.
Its extremely dangerous if u flashed wrong stuff that's not made for our phone. Here's the right recovery which u need to start with : Clockworkmod recovery for Galaxy Fit GT-S5670.:sly:
Note: Flash this recovery after flashing stock 2.3.6 firmware & follow the procedure properly
Good Luck!:thumbup:
U can also search our XDA Galaxy Fit forum for right stuff
Hope this helps...!!

Thank ahmetakin and Galaxy_Rohit for answering me! You gave me important information and helped me a lot.
I recently flashed a new stock ROM (DDKT3), rooted and flashed CWM, following guide and dowloading files from these sites:

http://www.droidthunder.com/root-install-clockworkmod-recovery-cwm-samsung-galaxy-fit-gt-s5670/
My phone seems to work pretty well. Are those links (and contained stuff) appropiate for my device? Otherwise, have I to follow guide and download and use stuff from links you gave me?:

When you told me that DDKT3 rom (for India only) could be dangerous for my phone, I immediately flashed the rom suitable for my country that you suggested to me (S5670XWKTO).

Ok, thank you!
Surfing on internet I found rooting and CWM files more appropriate for my rom. At the moment, my device seems to work pretty well and very stable.
I think that my problem was solved and I learned new things about my device thanks to this forum and its users!

No dude!! Not in that sense. I meant about those stuff which are not made at all for our device(Galaxy Fit) &/or if u r not sure whether the files u r using are suitable for our FIT.
Since DDKT3, XWKTO..etc. are Galaxy Fit firmwares(with different country/region), so ur phone will work fine with any of these firmwares. But ensure that they are made for this phone(Galaxy Fit) only.
& its even better to have a firmware that suits ur country/region. So u made the correct choice bro!!:thumbup:

Absolutely right. And the only difference between the firmwares of two different countries is, I suppose, the language support..
@magiuster Glad we could be of help! Happy flashing! :good:

[Completed] Conserving data from MIUI to AOSP? (Redmi Note3 Pro)

I'd like to flash from MIUI8 to the official CyanogenMod release but I would like to avoid the hassle of reinstalling and setting everything up for the fifth time, but since it's MIUI>AOSP, a clean wipe is necessary.
Is there any way to preserve only installed app data/etc while flashing ROMs, or restore it once I'm on CM13?

Hello,
No there is no such way unless you use Titanium Backup or any similar backup and restore app.

How would I use Titanium Backup to do that? Do I need premium?
