Hi, I need some help here.
I come from LeoMar Revolution 2.6 and I want to migrate to CheckROM Revolution.
My question is, can I do that without full wipe all of my data ?
I figure since LeoMar is one of the maker, I don't have to full wipe it.
Do you really have to full wipe it or can I do that by just flashing it with CheckROM Revolution ?
Thx for answering.

Yeah, I strongly recommend you to full wipe! Just use titanium backup, shouldn't be a big deal. Anyway, what you CAN do is backup your system settings with the kitchen app, you should ask in that thread though.

Okay then.
Well, if it doesn't have to be full wiped it's easier right ? LOL.
I can't post in the thread cause I (sadly) just have two post including this and the minimum post is ten if I want to post there.
So, I asked here.
Thank you very much for answering.

This may be a somewhat noobish question, but...
Can I update directly to WB TW V4 from 3.6.0 without full wipe data??
I ask based on Wolf's post, since it says does not wipe data.
thanks in advance
Hi,
as far as I know it should be possible. I did it from 3.9 and it worked perfectly and all data still there.

If Wolf said it doesn't wipe data, why are you asking?
But to answer your question again, it does not wipe data and yes you can flash v4 right over v3.6....but like always, make a back up of your apps/data/contacts just in case.
Ok. So here's the deal. I downloaded and installed a ROM that gave me an ICS look a like. I flashed the ROM and when i booted up, i was greeted with a message telling me my status bar wasnt functioning. I'm not looking to fix this, i'm looking to get my old stuff back. I have everything i had backed up in Titanium backup and on my external SD card. I went to restore and it just started loading my old stuff back onto the phone with the theme still there. I tried a factory reset, but it's still there... I want this corruptive theme gone. It's this one:

If anyone can help me, please do. This is awful. Also, i tried using Nandroid in Rom Manager, but it was telling me it was missing signatures of sorts or something. I'm not sure exactly. How do i get my old stuff back?! Please help!
Too easy...
Anyways, if all you did was flash what you linked without have Shostock Rom installed then you did wrong.
What Rom are you currently running?

Personally I would flash ShoStock (if you want that theme and a better rom) OR try flashing UCCK6 on top of what you have.
Themes you find in that section are mostly meant for custom Roms, not official AT&T.

First definition answers the op question...http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=op
And as LilChris already said you need to do a lot more reading, take the time to understand what your doing before flashing things. The theme is not meant for stock.
As for the list of roms....you download the one you want, if the theme is your main concern then download ShoStock. If not, then pick one you like.

I would suggest installing ShoStock since its a decent ROM based on stock. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache before flashing. It can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353513
Nandroid, nandroid, NANDROID!!!
Next time you have a working phone, do a nandroid backup. Then if you screw things up but can still get to recovery, you can always go back to your happy place.

U need to perform a full wipe and flash the ROM. Don't worry about the kernel because each ROM cones packaged with a kernel.

You will lose all your apps and personal settings because you need to do a full wipe. You have to back up your apps with titanium backup and restore them after you install shostock3.

the others have covered the method. just wanted to add that if you restore from Titanium Backup and have issues with the ROM, the restored apps may be why. If you like what it has to offer, try a full wipe and reinstall apps from scratch before giving up.
Nandroid backup first!!
smsbackup + Titanium Backup = win.
Backup your launcher too if you can.

I like to use the old version of GO Backup. It's perfect and handles everything nicely.

Hey guys,
I wanted to ask if its possible to get a custom Kernel and rooting my international S3 without losing all my apps?
I just dont wanna use Titanium since it would take forever since i've got alot of apps etc.
I've rooted and put a custom rom on another phone a few years ago and i still remember this would delete all your content as you install a new rom,
and i would like to ask if i can avoid that?
Best regards,
DrLuigi

rooting and installing a kernel does not wipe data and you also do not have to wipe it
even flashing a rom does not wipe data, except you choose to wipe it (which is recommend if you change android versions)
CF auto root, guide on how to use it in general forum, stickies. It won't wipe your phone.
Please search before starting new threads.
Do you guys perhaps know a good kernel that can go along with the stock rom that should be safe to not wipe my whole phone?
I know you shouldnt ask for the best rom and such, But this is a specific question.
Thanks for the help.

there are so many: devil, boeffla, googy_max are just some examples I know which work with the stock rom and they are all great (the other ones i have maybe forgotten as well), just try them out and choose the one that suits you best.
and don't be scared: they won't wipe your data
