Guys,
Can anyone tell me if there is any possibility to flash the Custom ROM like Cynam 7 after flashing kernel. I had flashed the franco v15 kernel on my LG optimus without changing the ROM. Now I want to change the custom ROM and wanted to flash Cynma7 as prepared by mik.
One more question, I read it somewhere that to flash the custom ROM, you need to wipe our cache and other things, prepare partitions on SD card etc but I didnt find this information when I was reading the thread of Cynam 7 prepared by mik.
Can anyone help me?
Can somebody please reply to my query.

If you flash custom rom your old kernel will be replaced with kernel in the rom. Than you can flash any kernel to change it. The procedures to flash mik rom is simple its same Like you flashed kernel no need to partition if not planning to use any type of apps2sd things. Just take nandroid backup from recovery,format /system (for same flash),and wipe all (you will loose all data), and flash.

First get the rom on your SD card, flash baseband.52 and install the rom normally with recovery, nothing special is requires for flashing the kernal it is done automaticly. If you need help on how to flash use my guide from my sig

So that kernel is already inside and i need just to flash it using baseband .52 ?
You flash the baseband with the flashtool and the rom with recovery. The kernal is included yes. Read through my guide, it explains all about how to flash roms and basebands.

I really don't have a clue if that would work or not cos J's kernal is for 2.3 and wolfbreaks rom is 2.2. You could always just try it out to see if it works just make sure you back up up wit recovery first and if worst comes to worst flash with the flash tool and redo your set up.

Well my question is basically how can I flash a different ROM without always starting from 1.26 and use gladroot then update and update again then the updated ROM or a new ROM?
thanks

Once you've installed a rom using CWM you can just use CWM to flash a different rom.
If you want to be a little more cautious, you could use CWM to create a back up before flashing a rom. Then you can just restore to the back up and then flash the new rom.
So I wipe first then install the new ROM or can I just install from sd?
Thanks

I created a backup before flashing a rom so I restore to that backup and then flash the new rom.
I think you could skip that step and just flash the new rom right over the old rom, but I prefer to stay safe and flash after restoring.
Great thanks

The above post says it all....I would also suggest you to try out mik's CM7 b6.5, it's nearly complete in all respects besides a few bugs...
I use devoid.franco with franco.kerner v13. If you want this ROM I advise you to use AmonRA Recovery.
i m on clockmod recover now how can i do AmonRA Recovery on my device plz help me
u don't need AmonRa. just boot into the recovery by going on terminal
su
reboot recovery
i too have clockwork 3.1 recovery right now... which is better? AmonRa or Clockwork? and can u flash a new recovery from the recovery or do u have to do some adb stuff? Not sure how flashing a different recovery works
ROM
I'm currently using devoid franco & his kernels. It is minimal & I get a decent battery life
Finally I have decided to go with devoid.Franco.
Thank you all guys for suggestions.

Okay so I'm new to the whole flashing thing. Two noobish questions.
It's it recommended to be on the same firmware as the custom rom I'm installing....
Also is it better to flash the custom rom via the pc or to flash using the android way via external sd?

1. No, but it could be that you need the corresponding modem. But this depends.
2. Does not matter.
I would use cf-root if I were you and then after you rooted, make a backup in the recovery. That is the most important rule, backups
1. Modems are csc right?
2. Okay cheers
Also: can you recommend a good stable first custom rom that provides good battery and maybe assist me in flashing it?

Custom roms are now flashable via CWM from SD card you cannot flash from external sd card .
Sample custom rom with instructions easy install and works .

Okay, so I am on the very first firmware build Wkdd. Would you recommend I flash to stock Wkf1? Root then install the custom rom?

KF4 now and i would personally follow the link i gave as its just been updated to KF4 .
Basics are to flash the file for root via Odin as per post 3 .
You then have Clockwork Mod recovery to allow backup of rom and flashing from sd card .
Copy the rom to your sd card boot into recovery and flash .

Flashing from a custom ROM usually does no harm. Provided you flash it properly with proper data clearance. And in some cases you have to flash the stock rom before you can continue to flash the new ROM. If you have not taken a backup of your stock ROM, you can download your stock ROM from your device forom.

Most of the times you can flash like this when you want a new rom. Delete /cache /data /system (you can also wipe /dalvik cache from your recovery then flash the zip file and google apps and what ever you want to flash from recovery. Hope it helps. Good luck!
It doesn't matter if you're a custom ROM. You can download a new custom ROM and go to the recovery and do the 3 wipes (factory reset, cache partition, dalvik cache) and just install. Make sure you make a nandroid backup before wiping and doing anything!
Is it must to be on stock rom when developer of custom rom says " be on stock rom is advisable"...

Nope. I never do that! But be sure to clear all data and so on. It is completely fine if you are on a stock based ROM.
