Hey guys, I'm kinda new to the Forum and figured I'll just post my question here.
I'm running a nightly of AICP 7.0 on my Nexus 5. I previously ran Lollipop but discovered that it drained a lot more battery than KK so I switched back. Now I want to try the Cataclysm Lollipop ROM, but I don't want to install all my apps again or wipe my current ROM. Is it possible to just sideload the Cataclysm ROM over my existing AICP ROM via TWRP Sideload function? If not, you guys have any clue how to do this? The main reason I want to sideload and/or install without losing my apps is because I want the Google Cards and Google Now to work for me which it doesn't in Lollipop. I previously ran KK and sideloaded the Lollipop image and that left me with all my apps and Google Now as it is and everything was good (expect for the battery drain and camera FC on Lollipop)
Any help on this would be much appreciated

sideloading in twrp means to put the file on your phone via adb. what you want to do is dirty flash. first, make a nandroid backup in your recovery(in case dirty flashing doesnt go well, then you can restore your old rom). then download and flash the other rom in your recovery(su and gapps also). by dirty flashing, you dont lose data. if your dirty flash didnt go well, you can restore your nandroid backup.

I'm running latest L preview (rooted, custom kernel), multiROM.
1. I flashed LRX21O flashable (NOT this one , can't find that one ) as a secondary ROM . It booted up properly etc but it didn't give me any option to restore my previous apps. I tried doing factory reset, reflashed. It didn't help. Is there any way to force it?
2. How do I upgrade my recovery from android L without using pc? (flashify doesn't work on L so I can't flash .img files without PC)?
3. Is it neccesary to flash new radios?
3.1. How do I flash radios if I want to keep my multiROM and L preview as my primary ROM until I move everything to 5.0 final (I am planning to have both ROMs on my phone for a few days until everything is really configured because I don't like it when I find something missing on my new ROM that I just had on a ROM that I just deleted)?
(I have quite fast internet so it is not a problem to download these flashable zips)
Thank you for your time
Hi everyone
I have a nexus 5 running on stock rom (5.0.1) & I want to install the latest nightly CM12 ROM.
I just wanna know if, after that, I'll be able to restore my apps & data from a backup I already did with TWRP custom recovery?
Thanks
It should work as far as I know. You just have to restore the data partition
Hello,
I keep trying to update to the latest nightly to get cyanogenmod 12 on XT1302. However they don't work. I get weird scan lines, even during the boot logo and animation. Everything is slow and unstable. During installation it always says root access possibly lost, fix, yes or no. Thankfully I have a working backup, but it's stuck on an old 2014 cm 11 snapshot and I want to upgrade
I suspect there is a problem with gapps since I get incessant "X app has stopped working error" messages and it's always a google service. However I do not know what the procedure is. I downloaded the cm12 gapps and flashed them after flashing the nightly as said in faq but it doesn't seem to work. Sometimes even Trebuchet stops working, making the phone totally unusable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :good:
Are you running with a lollipop bootloader? I think the latest CM12 requires it.

I've been googling this and I think you have correctly identified the issue. If I install the lollipop bootloader, will I be able to go back to my cm11 backup in case of an emergency?
Just to confirm, to update the bootloader, you have to flash the brazil lollipop rom and it should work?
If you unzip the stock ROM, the bootloader is the motoboot.img file.
I don't think you need to flash everything, just the bootloader file. If that doesn't allow you to use CM12, you may have to restore your CM11 nandroid and then flash CM12.
Hi XDA community,
I updated my One+ one to OS Oxygen lollipop (succesfully) by loading the zip file from the TWRP menu, but I prefer the 4.4.4 version (main reason is battery life), so before reinstalling the original CM11, I decided to 'clean' a little bit my phone.
I think I wipe too many things (like system, data, sdcard...) (erfff, I know, I'm stupid and make a big mistake, but that's not the point !)
Now, I have a nice phone, without any OS.
Question is :
How can I copy a new ROM zip into the phone storage to install it from TWRP ? (the only way I know to inxtall a ROM)
Or maybe I'm totally wrong and I need to do something else, but what ?
I'm not a total noob, but I'm really stuck with a OSless phone and don't really know what to search.
Can someone point me to the correct direction ?!
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Since last ROM you used was based on Android Lollipop, you can flash any Android Lollipop based ROM without any issues by just pushing the ROM.zip along with GApps.zip in the internal storage.
If you want to rollback to any Android KitKat based ROM, you need to flash CM11S firmware first before flashing any Android KitKat based ROM otherwise you'll end up bricking the device.
And if you happen to flash Android KitKat based ROM first and then suddenly changed your mind to upgrade to latest Android Lollipop based ROM, then recommendation is to first flash any CM12 nightly and then flash any Android Lollipop based ROM.
Thanks Mister for your answer :angel:
My pb was more about how can I copy the ROM on my phone, but anyway, I found a solution with the USB-OtG :good:
I copy the CM11 rom on the OtG key, plug it on my phone, and from the TWRP menu, I successfully mount the 'otg-usb', so I can browse the additional usb key plugged on my 1+1, and select the correct zip file.
By the way, many thanks for your explanation and direction on how I can upgrade/downgrade my device without brick it !
Long life to XDA
Hi I am currently on the canadian note 4. I am having some difficulty with cyanogenmod 12.1 lately so I wanted to move to CMRemix for better stability. The Installation guide ask the bootloader and the modem to be updated, I am doing that by reverting to an up to date stock rom and then installing CMRemix (Odin did not want flash for some reason.)
What I understand from the bootloader is that it is like the BIOS on a PC. Can my not up to date bootloader be causing the bug on CM 12.1? I am having the bluetooth crash bug and an overall slow system. CM also does not seem to work to well with spotify.
I am not an expert but I have been running custom rom for 3 years on my note 4 and note 2.
Thanks

Odin didn't want to flash the stock ROM???
Flash a stock ROM with Odin. Then flash a custom recovery like TWRP. Then do an advanced wipe and wipe cache delvik, system, data. The bluetooth could be unstable on CM12. You can look for a stable ROM and flash that if you're looking for everything to work flawlessly

I tried flashing the modem and bootloader, not the entire firmware. I ended up installing the stock firmware in the end. I am doing the updates now and will install CMRemix shortly after
I always go stock before I flash a new ROM. Best way unless directed otherwise
