Before flashing and applying a new ROM, be sure to make a backup of your device.
Nexus S got a ton of custom ROMs available. I like MIUI .2.3.7 (more recent ones are too heavy fo the Nexus), Cyanogen is great! If you ant a solid 2.3.7 rom, have a look at Pete's Bugless Beast and Francisco Franco Nexus S kernel. Clockwork Mod proposes them via the app for free.

Just a quick question but an important one. Is it safe and that easy to update my CM10 just through:
Options -> About Phone -> CyanogenMod updates?
Do I need to know something else?
Thank you for reading in advance!

Ah ok... So there should be no problem updating from one nightly to another.
But to be safe make a nandroid backup before updating. Personally I never used the updater. Just downlod the nightly the usual way (or use the updater to download the rom) and flash it in recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik prior to that.
MrBerni
I do not need to factory reset, right?
And I need to do is install the zip from sd card and that's all? No gapps installing?

No need for factory reset as long as there are no problems afterwards. So make a nandroid to be on the safe side.
GApps will be backuped and restored during the update process so no need to reflash them. Again: As long as there are no problems with it afterwards.
So just downlod the rom, boot to recovery, make nandroid backup, wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flash rom.

first things first. I'm a noob. HAHA. but i'm willing to learn.
I recently rooted my phone by using chainfire's CF-AUTO-ROOT and it has stock recovery on it. Now, I want to install a custom recovery, specifically cwm recovery. How will be able to do this? Do I have to unroot then root again? a step by step info will be appreciated. thanks
First of all find a cwm file for ur device specific to the model u have on google. Flash it with Odin n u will have the recovery.

done finding cwm file that's compatible with my tab
Flashing? not really that well with android terms yet. after clicking "pda" then selecting the cwm file, should I click start? is that what you meant by flashing?
I appreciate your help.
Yeah first go to download mode holding power and volume down button and select the file in the PDA section n just click on start. And wait till pass. appears on the Odin screen. That's it.

I also would like to install cm 10.2. is it stable? I tried searching and I found pac rom and if i'm not mistaken 3 custom roms are installed into 1 rom.
I also would like to ask if it is really necessary to wipe all data before installing a new rom? and if so, would apps like titanium backup pro would be able to backup every single app or information that is in my tab/
Yeah u have to wipe cache and dalvik cache. 10.2 nighties r stable. No issues with me.

Your thread is changing direction but I can't resist commenting anyway. If your tablet is rooted, stock I don't think you will see big benefits to a custom ROM. For other tablets I use like the Kindle, Nook and N7 custom roms can make a huge difference. I'm running CM 10.? Or variants of that on those devices. My most used tablet is this 2.7 with stock ROM. If you must try another ROM, I'd suggest a sick based ROM that is deodexed with sound or visual enhancements. Also, changing to a noon, Touchwiz launcher will make big differences. GOOD LUCK!
P.S. quess what a ROMaholic might be.

Hello, I'm Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 SM-T311 owner. My device currently running on CM11 unofficial builds. What I want to ask now are:
1.) I found a new cm11 updated build, so I downloaded it and wanted to flash it. Must I do a factory reset/wipe data again before flashing it?
2.) Do I have to reflash the GApps again?
Any answers will be appreciated :good:

You don't need to factory reset but it is advised to do so but do wipe cache and dalvik
You need to flash the gapps again
But, I won't lose the other installed apps right?

i can't tell you, normal is is setting that up instantly after fresh installation
So, i'm now using Hells core kernel, and i want to revert it back to stock kernel, because it seems doesn't have doze
So, what i'm gonna do is just fastboot flash boot.img right?
No need to wipe dalvik, cache and data right?
Sorry for such a noob question
