[Q] Updating Cyanogenmod11 - General Questions and Answers

I've recently rooted my HTC One X and installed Cyanogenmod's latest nightly
I want to keep updating it as much as possible, but I don't want to do a clean install and lose all of my apps, media, etc.
Is there anyway to do this? It might be a super stupid question but I'm new to this so please help to explain
Thanks in advance

[Q] Need advice wheter to flash custom rom or still on stock?

Dear user,
I would like to see your advice whether should I flash a cutom rom like NOS_v2.0.0_X920E or to still run stock?
My device is HTC X920e with unlocked bootloader, S-ON rooted and TWRP installed.
Are there any advantages to go for custom rom? I know i'm running and there are some chines app installed even we delete it removed it using other advance apk or ultimate backup.etc, but after restart the phone, thos will be auto installed which is very annoying.
But maybe you can help bring some more reasons why we should still on stock or custom one.
Thank in advance and feel that in HTC butterfly's forum seem silent and not more developers like to pay much here.
Fell very lonely here
Edited: decided to flash right a way. running custom rom now...
phone's really not that famous to devs out there. so far I've used the NOS ROM and nothing else. not much to choose from, that is. but the ROM's running great for a daily driver.

[Q] htc one s (ville) bootloop on kitkat roms

Hey guys,
since I didn'T find anything on this topic I'm going to ask you.
Currently I'm using the s4 version of the htc one s (ville), running on CM 10.2.
Everytime I try to install a KitKat rom, doesn't matter if it's CM, PA, Carbon-rom... my phone gets stuck on a bootloop.
Any ideas why that is?? HAven't really read that this is a common problem.
Thanks for your help ;D
And yes I did fully wipe the phone before I installed the new rom, since that's a common issue on the nexus 4

Sounds like you're using a outdated custom recovery. Flashing latest TWRP should solve your problem.
TWRP 2.8.0.1
thx for your help i will definitly try it i'll post my result
...
i just tried it with the recources i had but couldn't do a full wipe since i had no backup but as far as I know that doesn't cause the problem of a bootloop? so still have bootloop with updated TWRP
Same goes for the full wipe still set on a bootloop

[Q] First time installing a custom ROM

Hello,
I have never installed any ROMs on my Android phone, since I lost my old one I got a new one the S2 Plus. My question is can anyone help me install a stable kitkat? I understand that I have to root the device, don't I?
Also anyone mind explaining what all the CMW's and Cyanogenmods are?
Cheers,

[Q] Help - Stuck in TWRP 2.5

Hi, I'm pretty new to android flashing etc but a while ago I installed CromiX with TWRP 2.5 recovery.
I'm now looking to upgrade to Lollipop as I've seen some people manage it. To do this though I've found I'll have to upgrade TWRP to the latest version. Can anyone give me any guidance on this because I'm seriously struggling and everyone's using apps that aren't available any more.
How do I go about upgrading TWRP on my TF300T (for noobs)?
I'd happily skype someone if they were kind enough to help me through it quicker.
Thanks a lot guys.

Best Lollipop (5.1.1) rom for daily driver?

Hi guys, i'm looking for a lollipop rom to suit my daily needs -- i'm currently using marshmallow but i need to downgrade due to some application compatibility problems.. can anyone recommend me any?
also, do i need to downgrade my radio/bootloader/etc for this? thanks
What's wrong with stock 5.1.1? If you're moving between major revisions, the recommendations that I've seen constantly are to do a full wipe and reinstall, so you'd be taking a risk if you try to install piecemeal, with components from different versions of the ROM. I'd say do a backup of your essential data and then a full refresh.

Euphoria has some great features and is buttery smooth. I downgraded from 6.0 to it. I don't think you need to downgrade anything, just full wipe and flash. Might need to unmount \system if you get an error. Heres the link to the download.

This is and has been my daily driver for a long time, you could also opt for the official Euphoria ROM I think that's on google circles though.
thanks for the heads up .. will look into euphoria
