So recently I've flashed Euphoria and its included gapps from bpear96.
But that's given me issues with updating Play Games, constant error -505
After looking around the given solution was to flash Gapps 5.1, but I can't seem to flash TKs pack over.
Is there a possible way to wipe just gapps and relflash them? Or wipe gapps and system but keeping data and apps I've downloaded?

Yup. You could just wipe the /system partition (to get rid of the old gapps's addon.d scripts and stuff) and reflash your ROM and gapps. If that doesn't cure your problem, I'm afraid your only option is a clean wipe (backup with Titanium Backup, or make a Nandroid and restore with Nandroid Manager)

I am running Eagles Blood CM9. If I switch over to EGB AOSP will the "Backup and Reset" --> "Backup my data" and "Automatic Restore" features that are included in CM9 be available in AOSP?
I guess I am wondering if I have to reinstall apps manually or not?
Thanks,

When switching ROMs like that you should: ** In CWM
(You must do this so no bugs are created.)
1. Wipe data
2. Wipe cache and dalvik cache
3. Install rom
4. Install latest GApps(4/29/12)
This will wipe all your apps, which you will have to reinstall by going to the Play Store>Menu>My apps>swipe over, and there it will have all your apps. You'll have to do that if the play store doesn't automatically start downloading them. But, if you use titanium backup, you can try that, but I've read that it causes problems.
Lastly, you can dirty flash(don't wipe data, only cache and dalvik cache), but this will most likely cause bugs that aren't because of the rom. So, from coming from the Eaglsblood ICS to their AOSP ics build, do the first instructions to be safe.

I have had no problems with Titanium Backup. The only thing is that you must make sure to backup apps right before you flash.
Hi all,
I'm new to this forum. Nice meeting you all.
Wanted to get your advice and thoughts on best practices of flashing roms and tweaks.
I'm using S3 and flashed foxhound rom. However, with each update, I'm not sure what's the best practice to upgrade the rom.
Right now I think this is the path I'm taken:
1. Download the latest rom
2. Use Titanium backup to backup just the apps (not system data), backup nova launcher settings
3. Go into Aroma installer
4. Wipe data, wipe cache and dalvik cache
5. Flash rom
6. Reboot
7. Fix permission
8. Restore and sign into services
What about the other mods and tweaks?
Do you just flash them if you want them as well?
Is there a backup option where you can restore the state of the phone without restoring the old data in the new OS or is that not possible?
Thanks
I'm on Build 2, and for installation of Build 3, they say:
How to install SlimBean 4.2.2 build 3
For Most Users:
Download 4.2.2 from here
Addons from here
!recommended! Full wipe, and manual format /system
Flash device 4.2.2 AND the addons you want, reboot
For advanced Users:
Download 4.2.2 from here
Addons from here
wipe cache and dalvic
Flash device 4.2.2 AND the addons you want, reboot
From another 4.2.2 ROM
Reboot to recovery
Full wipe, and manual format /system
Flash ROM zip
Addons from here
Reboot
But how about the previous Build ?
For Build1 -> Build2, I didn't wipe or anything else. It went good. But I don't know if that's the proper way to do it. (I met some gmail crashes since, related ?)
(Sorry for my bad english, and for the possible wrong choice of category, I can't post in the dev section because I'm new to XDA's forums)
Thanks !:fingers-crossed:
A dirty flash should be fine since many aosp roms have an updater script. I never wipe whenever I'm coming from a previous build of the same rom. just follow the instructions for advance users. If you run into any problems then follow instructions for most users.
i would go with the " For Most Users " option as most users would be coming from build 2 or build 2.5 .. i also would recommend a full wipe , even though its not required i have found to have the best experience & fastest speed on my device by backing up and doing a full wipe so as to have a fresh install on the device.
I'd recommend a clean install because you don't want any problems after a dirty flash
Thanks for you replies !
By doing a full wipe I'll lose all my apps and their data. So if I use (my common way these days) Carbon for this, for "copying" apps and data, even if I did a full wipe, that's not a fresh and clean install at the end , isn't it ?

Just use free version of titanium backup so when u reinstall the apps the data will be put back.
Just make sure u backup the Google stuff before u wipe and flash.

To answer your question, restoring your data would not be considered clean, but if it works, it works.

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.
Thanks for an awesome Forum

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

I will do this now, but when I go into the Advanced Menu, I am assuming CWM Blue, I only see repartition and not format. I also do not see system as an option. Am I missing something? I am searching threads for answers now. Thanks.

Thanks a million.
Up and running and Google Play is automatically reinstalling all my apps at present. Very nice as this has never happened in prior rom flashes.

Glad to hear it's working for you
I just flashed Lineage OS on my OPO. Y was previously running stock, rooted CyanogenOS.
After flashing, I accidentally booted the system (before flashing Gapps). I rebooted into recovery, and once there I tried flashing Gapps. However, I got a message (not an error in red font) saying I haven't enough space in my system partition.
Any idea on how to fix this? I already tried wiping dav/cache/system and flashing LOS again, no dice. Also I deleted several Gbs from the file manager.
E: The error was #70, and I was using Nano Gapps.
Try nano or pico gapps.

Use a lower size gapps or aroma gapps so that you can choose required apps to install.
Also,flash rom+gapps together because of changes from MM you can't reboot to system and then flash gapps,that will give you fc's..
However if you anytime forget to flash Gapps(always case with me ),and say you setup everything and you don't want to do it all over again,you can just take a nandroid backup of your current rom and then restore it again and then flash gapps and reboot.
Hope this helps.

Thanks! I'll try with the pico one, although I'm concerned I might be missing something? Can I flash the aroma package using TWRP?

Yes you can,just make sure you don't select too much apps as you'll again see errors.
Lately ROM's zips are getting bigger, the system partition is not. Fotunatly OpenGapps zipps are modular through a .txt config file easily editable. Have a look here.
You can place the gapps-config file in /sdcard/Open-GApps/gapps-config.txt
