I want to flash a new rom (probably Mik_os' 6.3)
Can I do it WITHOUT partitioning my sd card? I DO NOT want to run a2sd, apps2sd, data2sd or anything else.
Cheers

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.

yep, you don't need to partition, and the ROM is compatible with cwm.
Sweet, thanks guys... about to flash now

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.

there is no flash iamge attached with it.

make a backup using recovery it will work as for now i never had any probs so never required to restore my backup as far as application is concerned i make a backup using titanium backup-open titanium backup-click menu button on phone-select batch and backup all your external appl and games in one click. As far as your contacts is concerned i normally enter into contacts-select menu-import/export-select export to sd card .this will create a .vcf file in ur sd card.
So just copy the .vcf file and titanium backup file to your pc this way u will have all your contacts and appl in ur pc backup incase if u format ur card u can just copy back the backup to sd card again. and if u dont format your sd card then u just have all ur backup intact in your card which u can restore after flashing a new rom.
hope it helped you
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..
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
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.

sorry i m new

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.

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.
Hi, I know lots of people ask how to run a2sd on a Stock rom, and I know it's not possible.
But what I want is as close to stock as possible, just a Stock rom but with just enough changed to run a2sd.
Well, I have got my stock S5830i 2.3.6 in Cygwin Kitchen, rooted, busybox and runparts.
I flash it, root works, the initd folder is there, the sd card has an ext2 partition.
But as soon as I flash dta2sd or mod the initrc it wont boot.
If i try mount2sd the script fails as the ext partition wont mount.
When turning a stock rom to a custom rom, what bit do I need to edit to enable the sd-ext to mount ???
The devs do a great job with fancy custom roms but a lot of us just want standard with a a2sd, any help appreciated.
Thanks,
M

Sent from my Ace-i running Touchwiz-Ressorruction V7
Hi, i'm new in this so i just need answers for couple of questions.
1. Can I flash new ROM from phone storage or does it have to be from SD card?
2. If i flash from SD, will new ROM be installed on phone storage or SD card?
3. When i do that, will all my data be deleted from previous ROM?
4. When i flash ROM do i need to again root my phone and install titanium backup?
5. what Custom ROM's are really good? your suggestions
1. Can I flash new ROM from phone storage or does it have to be from SD card?
depending on what kind of custom recovery you are using, you can install it from internal phone storage and sd card. Use philz touch recovery to have both storages available for you to choose roms from
2. If i flash from SD, will new ROM be installed on phone storage or SD card?
if performing a clean flash all data from phone would be lost as the primary step itself is to wipe data. Data on external sd card remains intact as long as you dont format it from recovery
3. When i do that, will all my data be deleted from previous ROM?
all data would be lost when you do a data wipe and devs take no responsibility for any loss wrt to your phone or data and so their piece of advice before you flash ANY rom or mod is to : Back up Back up and Back up. Use titanium backup to retain apps and a nandroid backup from recovery to be on safe side and stay away from after effects of a bad rom flash.
4. When i flash ROM do i need to again root my phone and install titanium backup?
rooting phone again is not required after installing custom roms since they already have the SU binaries included when the rom is cooked. Installation of Titanium back up after every rom Installation is must cuz itz an app on your phone memory
5. what Custom ROM's are really good?
again depends on what you like to see on your phone. If you like having the stock look on your phone and still enjoy benefits of using a rooted custom rom go for roms based on sammy firmwares. If you want to go a step ahead and have a nexusish look on your phone and be more open source go for CM and AOSP roms
thats not all. XDA has a lot of threads about flashing roms and recoveries. Do a lot of reading and proceed carefully at your own risk before playing with your phone.
Cheers
Well its so easy..
1- yup you can..
2- no it will be installed on te phone..
3- most of the roms are rooted.. but you can instal supersu.zip to root it or update the root panery, and you mostly will not lose the costem recovery..but some romes offer to download custom recoverys..
4- i think temask's unofficial cm11 is good.. and you can install omega touchwiz rom..:good:
