Hello everyone , now I know that there might be a topic on this, but im incredibly paranoid and I need an answer to my question . I have rooted, unlocked the bootloader installed RomRacers recovery and installed faux123's kernel (enhanced 1ghz no OC ) and I'm international (England specifically tmobile). I would like to know if I can install alien.

This is posted in the Q&A section for the ROM:
"I'm not on AT&T and this ROM is completely broken!
This ROM is not yet designed for international compatibility. Please wait for future updates or attempt an install with a proper international kernel."
Now, from what I understand, you will need to pull the AT&T kernel from the build and replace with the international kernel prior to flashing.
So, in essence you can flash it, but not AS IS when you download it.
Don't install Alien. Its old, outdated, buggy, and there are many better ROMs that are being constantly updated and work with international.

personally I didn't think alien was buggy at all, but there are plenty of other newer roms out there. I'm currently on the current CM7 weekly , and have no issues.

Yeah, Alien isnt buggy, its very stable. Just an older ROM.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
It is possible to use alien unfortunately I am far from home and can not upload you my costume alien rom for international but you should be able to search for how to change kernel in ROM and make your own build but alien is far outdated I suggest either darksides rom (very stable very fast and very user friendly) or a cm7 build I personally liked the darkside with 1.3 oc cpu
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
thanks everyone!
and by the way, i flashed Alien, it was REALLY buggy, so i flashed Darkside
Or why don't you try WetDreams. This is his new ROM based on 2.3.6 instead of 2.3.5 on DarkSide.

By really buggy, what do you mean? Alien was one of the most widely used, and best ROM's when it was released. What was not working properly with it?
Also, you should give SUPEROSR a try. It's my daily driver right now, and has been the smoothest of all the ROM's for me.
I mean buggy because when I clicked settings, It didn't show. Manage apps, CRASH! it did not work well. And also just wanted to ask, if I download wet dream, do ihave to wipe cache dalvik cache and full wipe my phone? They are by the same dev right? (Same question For superosr )

It really depends on the ROM. You dont HAVE to wipe for most of them - HOWEVER - You'll have a much cleaner install if you backup all your apps (not system data/apps - NEVER do that) using Titanium Backup, and wipe everything afterwards. I use fastboot to wipe everything before a ROM install.
fastboot erase data
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase preinstall
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
Then boot into recovery and install your ROM (should have already placed it on your internal SD before wiping)
This eliminates most problems with a ROM install before they happen.
Since you've unlock the bootloader you can install any rom

Another good Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398819 even the ee ver with the normal 1gh is ultra fast and it works so smooth and I get a 4 day battery per charge with regular use (txt msg,lil music and even a bit of gaming) highly recommended to anyone who wants a fast stable Rom.wither you want battery or a performance / battery balance or even if you want something for benchmarking

As this is an mtd rom, you should be fine flashing this over CM7 in recovery. You may be able to get away with just wiping cache/dalvik, but you may need to wipe data, unsure about that. Probably best to wipe all 3.
Great job on this build. This rom is ridiculously fast and I usually replace Launcher2 with any new rom install, but this version is so smooth I may just keep it.

I definitely agree with you usually I wipe data. I notice less issues when I wipe data. I know people just don't want to reinstall their apps but if you got a backup with titanium it takes like five minutes to reinstall apps.

if you don't have it down to quickly rebuild your phone from scratch, what have you been doing all this time flashing roms? titanium backup all apps and app settings and restore after you set the phone back up, takes 10 minutes!
Is the glitch kernal compatible with this?

if you have unlocked BL you should be able to flash any rom. as long as the rom image contains all contents you should be able to just flash it.
to go to stock 2.3.4 use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163342&page=1
it wont update your BL though - if you want to do that I think you'd have to sbf a pudding, but I'm not sure.
So the alien rom and cherry one can b flashed to my phone even thou im running on 4.1.26

Use a custom recovery to run a nandroid backup. I like CWM and you can flash it using rom manager. Im still running stock rom because I don't think the custom roms are good enough but you have to decide what you prefer. Try them both.
Jim, your best bet would be to flash CWM recovery by following these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
Once you've done that you can flash to any rom you choose. The recovery installed by ROM manager, from my understanding, isn't a FULL recovery suite.
I personally like Nav's work on the cherry series.
One other thing you might want to keep in mind with most of these new rom's is what radio you're using AND whether or not you have an international phone.
There is a good post about it here:

when you've backed up with TB, just re-install TB and all your stuff should still be there to restore. it stores it on the SD card.
Hi: I've been enjoying using the CyanogenMod for a couple of months now and love it. Thanks to all who created it and continue to improve it.
I simply want to upgrade to the latest stable version. Here's what I "think" I need to do. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could verify the same.
1) put zipped flash onto root of SD Card
2) Backup phone using Titanium Backup
3) Power off phone and choose "recovery" shut-down option
4) Choose zipped flash from sdcard
5) Wait for flash to complete
The other options on the reboot menu include among other things: Wipe, Mounts, Other. I've read in other post that it's a good idea to wipe dalvick-cache. Should I do so - and am I missing anything else?
If there's already a thread out there that walks one through these steps, I was unable to find it - but would appreciate being pointed to the same.
Thanks in advance for your help.

If you are goin' from froyo or other ROM you have to wipe ALL. It means Data (format system)/Cache/Dalvik Cache/BattStats . If you are goin' from earlier CM7 then wipe Cache/Dalvik cache/battstats.

unless things have changed in the last 2 days, you shouldnt be flashing any other kernels yet on CM7. you havent specified which kernel you were trying to flash, but you should be using the one that came with CM7 for now.

Actually, fluax has a 1.3 kernal for the cm7 rom. another thing, the rom comes with his 1.1oc kernal. so yes you can flash it, i can give you a link to the kernal if you want, and to flash a kernal you need to be sure its meant for that rom or it wont boot, if it is then just clear catch, some say dalvec or something in advanced but i didnt do that when i flashed the 1.3 for alien.
Yup the 1.3 was the one I was trying to flash.. I'm pretty sure I'd have to check. And I wiped only the cache a couple times, and also both cache and delvik. Does it usually take a lot longer on first boot?

The kernel that comes with the ROM has bug fixes that aren't included in the 1.3 GHz kernel. It's not suggested that you flash over it.

Flashed The Gapps and Rebooted... it stayed on the Motorola logo with Unlocked on the top for a whole day... i really want to switch to the MIUI Rom.... what am i doing wrong?
miui uses an installer that requires a rom to be installed on the phone. you wiped the system. don't wipe anything before installing. you can do that in the installer.
there are three files to flash. base, options then themes. it's a great rom. you'll enjoy it.

Why don't you flash a rom that you can flash from CWM and then flash MIUI?
You could reinstall CM7 or AOKP.
Once installed run the MIUI installer (without wiping anything before starting the installer), and then install Gapps. You should then be good to go.
Also, I think you should spend some more time reading about what you're doing. It seems that you may be on the edge of not knowing what you're doing. I'd suggest (at a minimum) the first 3 posts in the MIUI thread should be understood in detail before doing this again.

I'm not sure. I run AOKP. I think if you've got jokers revision 3 of CWM that you're fine.
I'm on 5.0.2.7-photon3. I think you're one release newer, but make sure it's joker's version and you should be alright.
