Hi all. I have been following this board for the past couple of weeks but this is the first time to post. I am kind of a newbie to all of this but am enjoying it so far.
My question is I have flashed the Jelly Bean rom by Maple that was the July 29th version. I wanted to reflash with the updated rom, so the camera will work, but was not sure if I have to clear everything again before flashing the new rom?
If you all could advise me I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Make a nandroid backup first. Wiping data / factory reset is usually recommended, but for updates you can usually get away with a wipe cache and dalvick cache. But if you're having freezes / force closes you should do a full wipe

Hey i want upgrade from my GB rom to ICS, but whenever i try to Flash an ICS ROM after a full clean wipe, i get alot of crashes! so i revert back to GB! is there something iam missing here? do i need to take an extra precaution before installing the ICS rom?
Mate, its still in alpha stage, not even beta. It's being careless on your behalf for not using search function. You would have known this. Come back April for a stable ICS release.

Probably forgot to wipe. It's the no.1 source of FCs after installing a rOM.

Hundreds of people have shifted to ICS, and you can see developers claiming their ROM's to be stable! thats why i chose to make a move towards ICS when the developers have released about 8 iterations of their original ROM!

Trust me, i factory wipe it twice before flashing a new ROM, that cant be an issue! and if you read the OP, my mobile is crashing, iam not getting any FC's but instead, the mobile gets stuck!
I have had my mobile turning itself off very often since I started "testing" ICS roms. I now have Westcrips 8.4 which is supposed to be one of the best ones and it turned itself off today
I think it might be because it's so cold here ATM (-24c)
I am using ics one month ago and i dont have so much force closes. Currently i use resurrection 8.4 and not bad. My advise is to wipe first data. After cache and after dalvic. Then install room and then it should work. Remeber this rooms are for modwl gt-i9100
You should factory wipe AFTER installing the new rom dude.

Wise move.
What is GB?

GingerBread.
For many "upgrading" will be a lateral shift with possible signs of regression peppered with moments of brilliance (if I die tomorrow please engrave preceding quote on my grave stone). For others it's the best thing since some genius decided to cut bread before selling it. For yet others, they'll think that it's as good of an idea of swallowing thumb tacks.
That said, I'm on CM9 (01292012 build) and have been on CM9 since late December. Gingerbread no longer stands a chance, and as usual no Samsung thank you very much.
hey guys,
so after reading the CM9 install guide, looks like I need to flash the stock ICS first. I'm currently using MIUI 2.1.7 which is still gingerbread.
I went to the stock ICS firmwares:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
But didn't see any North American or Canada firmwares, does it matter if I get the Argentina one, or can anyone direct me to a North American version.
Another question is, after I flash the stock ICS, will I still have my root and CWM?
Thanks,
eclipse

Incorrect, just flash cm9.
I can go from MIUI gingerbread, straight to the latest CM9?
So just follow the flashing instructions I guess, and skip all the other nonsense?
If you're flashing through CWM there is a long and complex process to flashing such a complicated ROM:
Step 1. Factory reset/ wipe cache/ wipe dalvik cache
Step 2. Flash CM9
EDIT: Remember to keep breathing whilst you do it, sometimes I need to focus so intently on the complex process I forget.
One more question, if I wanted to update CM9 via Rom Manager, to a newer nightly, would any data/apps/contacts be lost or reset, or is it just an update?
Nightlies are just an update, no need for a wipe.

Don't use rom manager, I've been hearing bad things about it. Just use cwm recovery. And no data would be lost, just don't data wipe / factory reset in cwm recovery

Alright cool, worked fine
thanks a lot guys!
hey all,
I am loving the CM10 builds that Chris is doing, most excellent work. One question. If I want to upgrade from one of his versions to another (e.g., Upgrade from 0.05.1 to 0.05.3) do I have to do a full factory wipe each time? Can i get by with just clearing cache and applying the update in CWM?
Any hints/tips are appreciated.
Thanks.

Just clear cache and flash the new ROM over top.
Im currently using the pacman ROM 22.2.0, not sure whether its official or not but I think I took it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253673&highlight=pac+man
and now I saw a new and official one and Ive decided to change my current ROM to this one, which is this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400382&highlight=pac+man
Right now, Im confused whether I should update my ROM as usual (don't have to wipe my data) or should I install it as a new different ROM (requires wiping of data) since the previous one isn't official or something. "not so sure about it"
:S Help me please, sorry for my bad English..
Thanks in advance.

SInce you're trying to update from JB 4.2.2 to 4.3, its better to do a full wipe before flashing the update. You can minimize any bugs or issues that way! :good:

Alright ! Thanks buddy.
Hi guys, i have this strange problem, lately ive been switching between aosp and touchwiz nearly weekly, had no problems with that. Few days ago i have flashed this new 4.4 port from arter but as my camera didnt work i wanted to go back to cyan (temasek). When i flashed it just bootlooped. I have tried wiping anything, installing 4.3 touchwiz and then temasek but nothing helped. I know i can always flash factory rom but i hope u guys have some kind of other solution.
thanks in advance
// uh wrong thread, i was quite sure i was in Q&A, please move this

Have you tried complete wiping, deleting /system /data /preload cache and delvik cache and installing a fresh rom from sammobile?
