I'm still rusty in the android world coming from years of iphone. I just flashed rev.3 and the beans rom i have previously flashed are all gone. Could I flash bean's rom on top of rev.3?

there are no custom roms in the sense other phones currently have. right now each flash is basically it's own version of the OS and overwrites what was previously there.
so potentially is there a way to move files from bean's rom the asop theme to Adam's package?

No easy way, you're better off just flashing back to Beans build.

Once we have the bootloader unlocked (I read there is an announcement tomorrow regarding it) we will be able to backup and restore prior ROM's and builds etc. That will make life far more interesting.
There's really no reason to run Adam's unless you are needing the utilities that are included.

I'd give out a shot if I were you. I flashed beans over stock and it kept all my son's and apps. I'm guessing that's what your going for

Your apps stayed because you didn't 'wipe' data while flashing. This is known as a 'dirty' flash. For simple ROMS that are mostly stock it's usually not a problem.
As ROMS become more customized dirty flashing starts to cause problems, especially when going to different versions. You end up with FCs.

Hi, This question arises after much research and several kernel/rom combination attempts failing.
I have been having problems with the rooting/ROM flashing on several i777 lately. Obviously there are so many different ROMs and kernels. Mostly the ROMs I try are call "ROOTED STOCK ROMS" and custom kernels.
One observation I would really like to express is that NOTHING created by the dev. "ZEDOMAX" has EVER worked for me.!!!! Wiping/formatting, nothing. I have had problems ranging from non-booting to booting and running but overheating and rapid battery drain.
Also, seems as though this phone has lost the battle against age, in that all the custom dev. seems to be more than a year old, except for the UCMD8 that just came out. I also can't get that one to work. I reverted to ICS 4.0.3 mistakenly believing that the format/wipe step was safe unlike the 4.0.4 version which everyone warns against. Now I see that that is a problem for 4.0.3 as well, so I went with rooting 2.3.4 and tried to install GALAXSIMUNLOCK. It just won't install!!!
What to do now? This is exhausting.!!!
Interestingly, These phones still show LOTS of demand in the market whereas, The BEAUTIFULL pebble blue S3 with a brand new LCD/FRAME I have just sits there, no interest in it at all???
Any opinions would be GREATLY appreciated. Maybe 2.3.4 is too old for GALAXSIMUNLOCK???
Thanks

Apparently GB 2.3.4 is too old. I flashed a stock 4.0.4 ICS. Rooted, unlocked and updated to UCMD8. All is good!!!!
I also can't get UCMD8 rooted(cooked) rom to install for some reason it always turns out STOCK!!! very strange.

Cooked is essentially stock. You won't notice much difference in the way it looks. But there are differences. It has AJK kernel instead of stock kernel, has root and busybox, is deodexed and has been debloated. You can check on any of those things to see if they are there. Boot into recovery, try a root application, use a root file explorer to look into the root files, etc.
Make sure you data factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik in cwm recovery. Reboot in to recovery and flash the cooked rom again. Make sure the rom download was not corrupt.

Just wanted to thank the framaroot developer. I was able to use the first exploit, "Sam" on my wife's AT&T SGH-I777 GSII running 4.0.4. Now, onto a custom ROM!
Well, I think I downloaded the wrong rom and flashed the wrong file. Here is what I downloaded and flashed:

For whatever reason, I thought it would work. In my brilliance, I didn't perform a backup. I still have access to TWRP, so what do I do? Also, does 4.3 exist for the Verizon flavor that is Google Play edition?
Thats for the i9505 international version. Theres some 4.3 ports in the dev section. Since you didnt make a backup of stock youll have to odin back to stock and start over. All the odin images are in the dev section as well.

Did you think it would work because of the "guide" on how to run other carrier's ROMs?
And no one else I know is working on Google Edition 4.3. Mine's not done yet and I've been to focused on 4.2.2's build recently. I'll get back to it eventually.
As far as a fix:
Install another ROM. If you are desperate for SOMETHING 4.3, then install cyanogenmod 10.2(either of the 2 unofficial builds)

Thanks gents. The only reason I'm itching for 4.3 is access to Bluetooth LE for my Fitbit. I used Cyanogenmod for a minute on 4.2 and it was amazing, but BT LE brought me back to stock. It lately started doing that Google Services using 70%+ of the battery, so I started hunting for a 4.3 rom.. in the wrong forum. WOOPS.
I'll probably go back stock until I can get 4.3 rom that has everything working.

Install or update TWRP with Goomanager if you're on an old recovery. Just click install openrecoveryscript, that easy.
Stock TW KitKat: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2721118
There are lots of improvements in JB and KK, as well as a couple fixable "issues" (e.g. sd card).
You can sell it to me and then I will give you my phone, that would be the best thing for the world.
Definitely gonna keep my MDK bootloader. The funny thing that's making me want to change is the App to SD card feature in the updates.
I'll make the switch from CWM to TWRP and give stock TW KK a shot. Are there any GS5 ROMs for us? I feel so out of it lol.
I've been flashing since the OG Droid and had close to 10 rooted phones but after getting my GS4 and having everything working perfect(including the mods, I.e. WiFi Ap), I just left it

I'd use Flashify from the Play Store to update to a new recovery. Using Goo or ROM Manager can lead to possibly having to Odin back to stock and start fresh... Couldn't tell you exactly why but it's happened to a few of us including me.
Also... Go for a ROM like C ROM, Mahdi, or Liquid Smooth... Ditch TW

I too have MDK so.... :highfive:! I am running Hyperdrive RLS 15 and it runs flawless. Loads of extra features if you like that sort of stuff. I used the Ktoonz Kernel with it so it comes with the KTweaker App for complete control over the kernel. Loads of battery life. Its 4.3 but if you want 4.4 then wait about a week or so and Sbreen94 will have it released (atleast that is his current time frame).
I rooted the phone, but know nothing about ROMS or if I even need one?
I rooted the phone so I can remove the bloatware & I was hoping for faster speeds out of the device as well.
Is there a ROM that the community generally considers the fastest/lightest stable ROM out there?
IMHO I've tried em all...
stock rooted OC5 update is the best
everything works.

I plan to do a factory reset & then root the phone (I rooted a Galaxy Note 2 once, but I never installed a custom ROM before).
So when I "flash" that OC5 ROM, will it just be a de-bloated stock Samsung Note 3 ROM on the latest Loliupop update?
All the S-Pen & camera features of the phone will be intact?
Am I correct or is that a much more customized ROM?

That's not a "flashable" rom in terms of using a custom recovery to do so, that is a tar that you use with odin and your phone in download mode. I would read some of the q&a threads in regards to updating from nk4 to oc5.

I'm on stock rooted lollipop right now, with Nova Launcher. I love it.
there is a fellow putting together a stock rooted deodex that works with Xposed over in the gen chat sect, and that's going to be great, should be released soon.
I'm not a fan of theming at all, and IMHO the more changes a person makes in a ROM, the more features ported and crammed in there, the buggier it tends to be... and that's not always true either, just my experience.

Hey guys! I'm using a Galaxy Note with a Bell board (was originally AT&T but that bricked because at the time I thought flashing an N7000 ROM would work, D'oh!) and I want to upgrade to a Jelly Bean Rom. I'm using Blackstar XI, a 4.0.4 ROM, and I'm looking for a lightweight JB rom. It can lack stylus/pen support, I found myself not using that feature as much as I thought I would.
Would I run into any issues using a QuincyATT Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 ROM, considering it's a Bell note board? Would I need to unlock my SIM first? And I recall there being a trick with Notepad++ I needed to do in order to make it work, even on my AT&T board.
I just have an issue with heavy RAM usage at boot and I can't even run some apps, since I know touchwiz is stupid.
Anyone willing to help me get it running on my note? Any help would be appreciated!

If you like blackstar, I would just flash Blackstar Blackjelly after doing a backup. It's what I've been running as my go-to on my Telus note. The other jb's are great too, but cm comes with the odd small bug like echo on speaker phone. Most of the customizations make them worth trying though.

I'm assuming you have an unlocked bootloader already since you are running cm. Just be sure to have latest cm recovery or gimmeitorilltell's twrp (although other versions work with Jellybean, if you try kitkat or lollipop you'll have problems). Make sure you are flashing a quincyatt rom.
I have been using SGH-I717ATT-UCMD3-Modem with great success for a radio. Your mileage may vary.
If you get no signal, before blaming the rom, first check your mobile networks access point names and settings to be sure they match your carrier. (A good idea is to take a couple screenshots of your settings now before you flash any new roms as there are quite a few numbers involved)

Good news! I tried the CM10.1.3 ROM and it worked well minus two small gripes:
1. Occasional freeze/hang on lock screen, causing it to reboot
2. Random artifacting/crashes during video playback/browsing through gallery
I'm gonna say this is the best performing ROM I've tried so far, but I'm going to give BlackJelly a try! I'll keep you posted. Just figured I'd give Cyanogenmod a proper shot now that I know how to install ROMs!
