i currently have Megatron v1 rom in my p500
i installed the custom recovery thing and installed the rom and after that i flashed mik_os kernal..
phone is working great from some time now but now i m thinking of updating to franco's as megatron is pretty outdated now + i m getting a new memory card..
so i dont know from where to start ?
pls guide me ?
Hey,
1 : Dload Rom an Kernel .
2 : create backup !!
2.5 : reboot in recovery !!
3 : clear cache , all
4 : create partition as per req
5 : toggle usb
6 : copy rom an kernel , then flash from sd !!
If I missed anything , sorry :!
So i straightaway put in the new memory card and restart into custom recovery and follow the steps u mentioned ??
Some questions/doubts i have.
As i have partioned this current memory card... what files does it hold ?? (Hope i wont face any prob after removing this card)
And should i flash the rom first or the kernal ??
And in francos topic he has menrioned that data2sd thing is not stable yet ??
So what kind of problems are we talking about and is franco's kernal and rom stable altogether ??
I dont like my fone to be stuck after eveylry 5 mins or so .... pls reply...
Nd thanks in advance..

Just put in the new card, reboot into recovery, create the ext partition (the card will be formatted afterwards), wipe everything Franco says in his first post, then toggle USB mode, connect to PC, paste the rom and kernel, exit USB mode, flash the rom, reboot. Then power off, enter custom recovery, flash the kernel, wipe caches, reboot.
Install SetCPU, set 729max - 480min with smartass and set it on boot.
Rest assured, Franco's devoid is a very stable build... you will really be amazed by your phone afterwards. If you want, afterwards you can install all sapps or just the essestial gapps (you can find links in the ROM thread - in the last 2-3 pages).
Thanks for the reply..
One ques remains abt data2sd thing (which is step 1 in his topic)
What steps shud i follow to install that ? Or is it already a part of the rom ?? If not where cn i dl it ? Is it gud ??
Nd i heard there is an altermative (apps2sd) ??
Which one do u recommend ?
Apps2sd is used in megatron rom rite ??
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
Oh, sorry... I forgot about that!
Neither app2sd nor data2sd is included in the rom, but you can easily flash them in recovery. You will need to enable them afterwards (there's a market app and also a command for the terminal emulator).
Use Darktremor's app2sd, not ungaze's data2sd (since from what I've read, it's pretty buggy with Franco's ROM&kernel).
I don't know what is used in Megatron, but you can find out all you want about app2sd here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670087.
Thanks a lot dude !

sorry i m new
done
hey one last thing
the link u gave to the app2sd topic
it says ***OUTDated*** right in the topic name
so just wanna ask should i install the latest version found here
or is that outdated version only compatible to our phones ??
I apologize, I was in a hurry and provided you with an old link...
The latest versions of Darktremor's app2sd are supported by Franco's rom, so install whichever you like from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926015.
Oh, and from what I've read, Franco also supports ext4 partitions (although I recommend having an SDHC 6 or above card).
ok
so here goes ?
1) Download rom kernal and app2sd image
2) boot in custom recovery (i have RA_thunderg-1.1.0-GNM)
3) Wipe everything (everything rite ?? all the options ?)
4) partition my new sd card (swap: 0, ext: 512, ext2-ext3, then ext3-ext4 it.)
5) Flash the app2sd image file (gonna flash the last stable build.. not latest beta)
6) after its completed straightaway flash franco.devoid rom file
7) after its completed i reboot < chk out the new rom for a moment
8) reboot into recovery again and then flash the kernal
9) Wipe cache (not sure how to do this ??)
10) install set cpu through the link u gave ?
and please afterwards how to make sure the app2sd is working as u said earlier i need to fill in a command or install an app ??
oh before wipe i will create a backup too
what kind of backup do u recommend ?? as there are 5-6 options i guess ??
and should i wipe before or after partioning my sd card ?

I think there is only one option for backup, that's nandroid backup.
Which is there in CWM.

It aso shows options like nand backup, nand+android secure, nand + ext
and then at last they say google something..
So pls suggest ?

You have amon RA, so a simple nand backup will be fine. And after that you can wipe, then partition. I installed DT apps2sd (the beta 4) after flashing the ROM and kernel and it works great. So I guess it's fine.
Lets say I don't want to flash any app2sd or d2sd on my phone and I want only the native a2sd which comes with the ROM. Do I need to create any partitions? Or can I simply skip that step?

No, you don't have to create any partitions in that case.

DUMMIES, FOLLOW THIS STEPS TO INSTAL MIK_OS GINGERBREAD CYANOGENMOD 7 PORT:
FIRST OF ALL GO HERE AND READ MIK's POST and thank Mik for his work!!!!!!!!!!!!
READ THE CHANGELOGS AND THE KNOWN BUGS!!!!!
Let's suppose you have Froyo on your device and want to go Gingerbread:
- you need: root, custom recovery, and rom zip from here
- boot into recovery, go to backup/restore and do a backup. For your own privet safety, you could use TitaniumBackup before booting into recovery to backup your files and settings.
- while in custom recovery, go to wipe and perform all wipes. WIPE DATA AND CACHE IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM FROYO! Go to adb shell and make a /system wipe (mount /system in recovery; adb shell rm -rf /system/*), or copy this file on sd, and flash it via cusom recovery to automatically wipe your /system data
- after the wipe, put your rom on the sd card - get the beta2 here , and flash it from custom recovery.
- wait until it boots up and set the phone up. If you're stuck on LG logo it means you didn't performe the wipes corectly, mainly the system wipe.
- you will have no google apps after the install, so go here and get them, or manually download them from market
- you now have Mik_os unofficial CyanogenMod 7 2.3.3 on you phone. Install TitaniumBackup and perform a restore if you used this metod to backup your data as i described in the second step.
Now, if you have an older version of Mik's CM7:
-boot into recovery and flash the newer version just like that. It will update the one you have on your device, and no data will be lost.
GO AGAIN TO THE OFFICIAL DEV THREAD AND RE-READ THE BUGS AND CHANGELOGS. AND AGAIN... THANK MIK FOR HIS WORK!!!!!
If you have questions about Mik's port, go to the correct thread and ask them! This is not a developer thread, it is just for info, or for those of you who are new to xda and cannot post in dev threads.
AND AGAIN, THANK MIK FOR HIS WORK, AND BUY HIM A LOLLYPOP VIA PAYPAL.
I have tried your steps but could not install this ROM. It got stuck on the boot animation. An it wasn't CM7 animation. Tried few times but without any luck. Now i am back to my old rom. atleast i did not brick my phone but i will sure give it a another try
You are probabily stuck at the lg logo. You should try to wipe the system manually, by adb or flashing the zip I linked in the original post, in the third step. I had the same problem, but this solves it.

I wasn't stuck on LG Logo. I had Megatron installed, it went through LG logo, then got stuck Megatron's Android Logo. Seems the rom was never installed properly and i have tried few times.
I have wiped everything, i have flashed from the zip you provided, and also i re-partitioned the sd card but it never worked
Did you got any errors when flashing cyanogen zip? From what you said, I think you shoul rewipe everything, part the sd 0 swap, ext 2 to ext3 and ext3 to ext 4. Make sure that you have the check for signed option in custom recovery.

I have done all of the above, may be the zip file got corrupted. Anyway, i will try again this weekend. thanks
How did you do the system wipe? You flashed the zip for wipeing or did you do it from adb shell?
I have another friend that flashed the /system wipe tool, and forgot to flash the actuall rom zip file, and had the exact simptomes as you described.

I used custom recovery, nandroid back up, then re-partition the sd card. then wiped the card, then usb toggle to copy 2 zips on to sd card. flashed debug system just in case and then flashed mik's rom. I don't know where did it go wrong.
Would have been great if someone made a step by step video and put that on youtube

Yes, I think so. Don't worry about it for the moment. if it worked for you, it will work for me too. I may have missed something that i can't remember. I will give it a try again this weekend
Although if you could give me the Partition requirements. I know the swap should be zero. But how much should i use for ext2?
Ext partiton can be how big you want, it's where a2sd puts the files and other cache info. I use 512 mb, and works flawless.
I will make a video guide in the morning, and link it in the original post.

Do I need to install that new recovery? Or is the one you posted a link to OK?
There is a new recovery that's been in the development forum for a few weeks that says it's for gingerbread.

The link i posted goes to another thread that explains some basic stuff. Including the recovery. But i didn't find any problems using different versions of custom recovery. So go for which one you like more, as long as it can backup your system
1. go in recovery mode
2. wipe everything
3. then go to others
4. mount/system
5. flash the system zip
6. flash the rom zip
7. reboot
it worked for me. hope it helps
Ruwin buddy, you will be happy to know that i am using Mik's rom. I still don't know what went wrong last time. If some thing that i had done differently, that would not upgrading ext3 to ext4.
Thanks buddy for the support and the tips
Thank you very much!!! Will try this today.
Is it possible to get the SMS widget back? The simple one from Market sucks...
Do I need to partition the SD-card?? The directions made no mention of this.
how to enable 3G mode only in this rom ?
Good work, very useful.
Hi after spending a huge time I finally did it and got into recovery and made backup.
Of also made a titanium backup.
Obviously my mem card has backup folders should I save them?
How I mean is there any particular way?
After the answer to above then comes the next problem.
I just need to download the zip file of the custom rom and then just flash directly.
then one more thing
assuming that now I'm in a custom firmware and wanna switch back to the default is it easy?
How do I do the custom recovery? Of the default obviously.:-D
Thanks in advance.

Since ur done with recovery n backup,make sure u have the thunderg Custom recovery,clockwork isn't supported my majority of the roms u find here
Save the backup files from the sdcard to ur PC to be safe
Next just download a custom rom that suits ur need,copy it ur sdcard,boot into the recovery with the 3 button combo and just flash the zip from there
All instruction can be found in individual rom threads
Now,going back to the stock rom,its simple and easy
Just download the LG original firware and flash it with KDZ Updater
No warranty will be void so just chill play arnd with ur phone....
Thanks dude +1 for you.

And what about the titanium backup? Any use to store it?
I mean I thought that I could go back to the same state using all these and I mean the exact state as now.
if I have to flash with a new rom even if its default only then what it the use of back up that I just did if I won't be using it at all.?

truely make a backup in recovery its worth mentioning which recovery u r using as thunderg 1.2.1 cannot restore so use 1.2 or lower-clockwork is better but it doesnt support installing all rom at this point of time but its better than thunderg.once u get support from all rom its worth installing clockwork.
now the main part
boot into recovery
make a backup of current rom and transfer it to pc
Wipe data/factory reset.
3. Wipe Cache.
4. Wipe sd-ext.
5. Format /system.
6.make partition swap 0 ,ext 512(convert ext 2 to ext 3 ,ext 3 to ext 4- class 4 sd card minimum required for ext4)
7.Select usb ms-toogle |copy the rom image to sd card
6. Intall zip from sd card.|Flash CM7.(if using cm7)
7. Reboot.
8. Done.
hope it was helpful.more tweaks and market zip is provided in differnt rom thread choose accordingly whatever u need.
ENJOY
if u get a bootloop just flash the zip file provided in mik rom for bootloop and then wipe again and flash the rom
AS FAR AS TITANIUM BACKUP IS CONCERNED ONCE U INSTALL THAT IN UR NEW ROM U GET TO RESTORE ALL APLLICATION U HAVE BACKUP EARLIER.JUST MAKE SURE U HAVE SAVED THE BACKUP FILE IN PC AND TRANSFER IT BACK AGAIN.AND IF U WANT TO GET BACK TO ORIGINAL JUST RESTORE THE BACKUP U CREATED EARLIER BEFORE FLASHING NEW ROM.

thunderg recovery is the old preocess of flashing file which sometimes leads to bootloop or unsupportive to some tweaks and add on as it is unable to run the scrip porperly hence clockwork is considered better which handles everything smoothly as it the latest way of flashing zip and files.
But i would suggest to use thunderg as for now as all rom developed here are not suppoting clockwork so once it gets updated u can flash the clockworkmode and yeah finally it does support cm7.
i just hope that clockwork gets some updates like it is in hd2 forum solving some minor issue
Clockworkmod doesnt support many ROMs because the ROMs are using the old Amend scripts. Even google has stopped supporting Amend from Android 1.6.
If you want the old roms to work with clockworkmod, you can use the amed to edify tool to make it compatible with clockworkmod.

Take a nandroid backup before you install a custom ROM its a must !
Go through the custom rom's page and they will have their requirements posted.
I have installed andyt's [ROM] Gingerbread-2.3.4-rc2 @2011-05-22-21.00+GMT0 without partitioning sdcard. It worked and is working without any problem .. but have to install your custom apps u installled. and most of the non useful applicationos installed with the stock rom won't b available here ... if you want to use it ... then try Root Unistaller or My backup and backup the APK files and later install on your custom ROM.
@andy
[ROM] Gingerbread-2.3.4-rc2 @2011-05-22-21.00+GMT0
this ROM has sorted out my data connection problems with provider Uninor (India) on the stock ROM i tried but not worked.. now on your ROM is working with the same APN settings... Don't know what underlies.. But thanks to andy for his Hard work !
I have all my apps backed up with titanium, my APNs withAPN Backup & Restore, etc.
I'm just hoping I can run mik_os' ROM without patitioning and I dont want to read thru 400+ pages to find out.
Cheers
BTW, I'll be using clockworkmod recovery to install the ROM
If you're not gonna use app2sd or data2sd then you don't need the ext partition.

if u just have a clean 6.3 rom then al ur data would go into the internal storage.! and titanium restores all apps.! I've been using it since i flashed my 1st custom rom.. never lost my contacts n apps since then ! so works well for me
and if anything goes wrong u always have thee nandroid restore
You should also format /system and /data for clean install.

first time i install cm10.1 nightly on s2 i9100, there was no prob...then flashed pacman rom ..was a little glitchy and slow.
So moved on to paranoid android..this is where the prob started... it keeps on bootlooping :?
Right now flashed stock 4.1.2 via odin and rooted with siyah kernel s2 v6 0.5b ..works fine
but if i flash any custom ROM it bootloops ,even with the prior cm10.1 that i had..
checked xda , did a lot of work but still stuck at square one..{wiping this , wiping that}
only thing i can find fault with is in recovery when wiping data says
Format/sdcard/.android_secure ..fail
skip Format
Format completed
when trying to intsall from sdcard it says
E:/ cannot mount..
tried different cwm recovery .. all with the same findings..
so please help me.. its boring to be stuck with stock ROM..
i am a doctor ..i tried but couldnt follow running SDK and commands ..so please keep it simple
or if possible publish a video.. bcause iam not the only one with this predicament...during my research i found a lot android users with the same problems..
Thanks

Thank you..ammar but as i have already said my phone works but with the stock rom...i end up bootlooping only when iinstall custom ROM
n the solution given in that thread 1. is to flash a stock rom.. 2. flashing villain rom but the download links are not working..
i think it has do with fail to format .androidsecure thing but what do i know?
again thanx..

also backup all ur internal memory data to a pc and then format your Internal memory from within the rom
You could try using a couple of wipe scripts by a guy called hawkerpaul....I think they're called 'romwipe' and 'kernelwipe'.......
Use the XDA search function....should be easy enough to find.
It may be that there are some 'leftovers' following the usual wipes (cache, dalvik and data) that are causing conflicts with your fresh installs.....
The above mentioned scripts perform a more in depth wipe....might help.....

i have tried that GS2ROM wipe and nuke scripts already, with no luck ... yes that runs bigger wipe but it still fail to format sdcard .andoidsecure
i think it has do with renaming of the sdcard{silly doubt when recovery states sdcard , it doesnt refer to extsd right?} from sdcard to sdcard0 while installing CM10.1,,
if i could safely erase that {.andoidsecure}, probably things will back to normal .. anyone know how to
oh iam not able to use install from sdcard option in recovery(formerly before flashing any ROM i was able to..i hav to install from "internal memory"
Again iam grabbin at random bcause i want to go bac to custom ROMs. .if any of sounds untechi ..let me remind u i am just , what do they call it.. a noob and i do apologise...

i can find folder .androidsecure in extsd card and that erasing that doesnt solve the problem.. there must be another copy
iam not able to find .androidsecure in sdcard {internal}..with neither ES explorer nor Root explorer..
i dont know if this helps but i tried to intall that int2ext mod once but it didnt take ..installation aborted in recovery..i cant really remember if this was before or after i started havin the bootloop problem...Most likely after ...when i was running stock rom
There those are all the cards ...someone please solve the puzzle...
hey i can install custom roms again
1.formatted extsd and usb storage{after making back up of course} in storage setting in ROM
2.in recovery : Mount emmc
Mount sdcard
wipe user data
Flash the custom ROM
and it didnt go into bootloop ...hurrah
Running CM10.1 on i9100...
thanks guys..
