Well, I'm on rooted stock, and I want to be able to install the original task switcher instead of using the HTC one as well as other things that involve being deodexed. So my question is how do I deodex? Is it easier for me to just go ahead and install a stock, deodexed ROM or is there a flashable zip that does it for me?
I'm not sure where to go from here on this since I was using a Galaxy Nexus and didn't have to really worry about this stuff since I could just easily flash a package or get a new ROM without having to worry about really anything at all.
Thanks!
Anything?

Thanks for that, but the thing is, I currently can't backup/restore everything. I was just wondering if there's a flashable zip to take care of it.
Say I do flash that ROM over top of my current stock rooted ROM, what will happen? Anything dreadful?

If you can flash a ROM, why can't you backup your current one?

I rooted my Vibrant and then performed a ROM backup using ROM manager. My question is, if I wanted to try a different ROM, will I have any issues flashing back to stock if I need to? I want to be able to flash back to stock and still get OTAs if I want to sell the phone sometime down the road.
thanks

Shrug. You wanted stock with very little modifications. The only mods there are root + a2sd support. (Oh, and removed FB+Twitter junk).
(There is a nandroid backup of 2.2.x posted somewhere here, but I cannot find it and IMHO if you want stock ROM, it is pointless to flash 2.2.x now).
Looking to try out the newest leak. I'm looking for it in cwm form. Would like completely stock other than root.
Does this exist?

It is Extremely stable. Why not just download it, use Odin to put it on your Note, then use Odin to Root your Note? That is what I did and things work fine. Just be sure to save anything you would like to keep because it will be gone afterwards. It is recommended to remove the memory card but it didn't delete anything off mine.

Sorry I wasn't following that part of the situation. I would say either look up on Google for a way to do it, or use someone else's computer. I live in Ohio haha you could use mine if you were not far from Ashtabula lmao
The safest and most stable way is to download the .exe on the computer and run it. Download the cwm .tar file. Then use odin to run the .tar file to get cwm. Download the superuser .zip file and drag it into your microSD card. Then get in to recovery and do a backup to see if it works. If so, from recovery menu, flash the superuser .zip file from your microSD. Bam, ICS UCLE2 stock rooted. Remove bloat and get Apex launcher and its smoot sailing and stable.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
I'm just surprised nobody has made a cwm version yet. Ever other leak had one.

Thanks but way too customized. However FJ mentioned that the base in the third post of his thread is basically stock so I'm trying to download now but it keeps crashing.
What makes you think they're way to customized? Just flash his 1st release without the fj mod.

Have you read the feature list? Hell one of them has the SGS3 launcher and apps instead of the ones from the Note.
I'm downloading the one from the third post which is what I think you're talking about.
Lol. I think that's the only one rom. Apex launcher is by default, but you can use the stock touchwiz. Its as close as you're gonna get if you want a cwm zip. Can't hurt to try it out. Just make a backup of your stock rom and give it a try. You won't regret it. Any ics rom blows gb out of the water. If you don't like it, you can be back to stock in 10 minutes.
Sent from Galaxy Note
Well I flashed it but it's missing Touchwiz Launcher which I actually wanted since I like it's widgets. Sigh. Time to borrow a friend's computer and get the ODIN leak.
You have to either flash it seperately or use tools in settings to install it. Tools are there only if you flashed the latest rom or flashed fj mod. If you flashed the 1st le2 rom then just flash the fj mod. It doesn't change anything. It just gives you the ability to add a few things....including touchwiz.

in short, CM7 is based off Gingerbread and CM9 is based off ICS. If you want ICS, flash CM9 or one of the other roms in the dev section(s).

You need to read around a LOT more.
First off, don't use ROM Manager on a Galaxy S2.
Second, no, there is no version of 4.0.3 for CM7 because cm7 itself is 2.3.7. What you want is CyanogenMod 9.
EDIT: Ninja'd! That took me much longer to type than I thought it did. :S
Has anyone mentioned to you that you need cm9 for ics?

You can use TB to backup apps and data. Just remember when you're restoring apps on your new rom, DO NOT restore system apps/data. It will royally screw things up. The best course of action would be to manually select which games/apps to restore with data. The rest of your apps you should just redownload from the Play Store.
As for ROM Manager, it can just mess things up on this phone. You don't need it though...you can do everything you need to do with CWM Recovery or Mobile Odin.

@matt,
I thought ROM Manager still works perfectly for any CyanogenMod ROM, CM7 or CM9. It's just highly recommended NOT to use with any other ROM that not-CM.
@OP, I strongly suggest you spend much more time reading and make sure you understand the whole process of making the CM9 on your device. In fact, it will save you more time than just keep flashing it, bricking it and hunting for help.

If you already have a kernel with ClockworkMod, you don't need to worry about flashing one before flashing CM9.
Here is what you need to do:
1. Nandroid backup.
2. Download latest CM9 and GAPPS
3. Do a full wipe in ClockworkMod
4. Flash CM9 in ClockworkMod
5. Flash GAPPS in ClockworkMod

you know what ROM manager is?
ITS A GUI INTERFACE FOR CWM
you can boot into CWM directly and do anything that ROM manager can do except download the rom....
we have stickies outlining all this stuff already, not sure why thats a totally new concept for folks these days
After reading over lots and lots of threads, I finally got up the courage to root my phone.
I followed these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746181
I flashed the "Kernel + Modem + Cache + Rooted UCLE5 System Package" using Odin, downloaded Mobile Odin, and then flashed the safe Siyah 4.3.3 kernel w/o mic swap to avoid bricking due to the eMMc bug. Everything seems to be working fine. I have Superuser, Mobile Odin, and CWM Recovery.
My question is what are my ROM choices and how do I go about installing them?
I'f I'm reading the instructions correctly in the thread with the rooting instructions, I only have the three options for kernels in that thread and I MUST use a w/o mic swap version.
On the Siyah thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592228, the only ROMs listed that work with w/o mic swap Siyah are Criskelo and UCLD3. Are these my only choices for ROM?
Are these the proper files for Criskelo?
Criskelo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500891&highlight=criskelo
I can't seem to find the files for UCLD3.
To be clear, I was coming from a stock i777 with stock ICS and UCLE5. I'm now running 4.0.3, I777UCLE5, 3.1.0-rc8-Siyah-v4.3.3-nomswap ([email protected]).
Thanks for any help. I've searched and read a ton, but I just can't make sense of it all.

it means that if you use an ALTERNATE kernel, which a lot of people like to do, then you must abide by those guidelines. all roms come packaged with a 'recommended' kernel....just flash one and you will see.

Would going to SHOStock3 require a wipe? I understand that upgrading to new versions of an existing ROM usually does not, but since this is a different ROM it seems like it would require the full wipe.
What is the easiest way to retain as many of my settings, etc... as possible when doing full wipes? I have Titanium Backup already. Is there another program that will help me retain more?

Once you get accustomed to it, flashing with a full wipe isn't too bad. Make a nandroid backup in case you decide to go back. And I would recommend you buy the full version of titanium back up to get the batch features, and support the developer. It is probably the most important app for those that flash regularly.
I can fully wipe and flash and have everything back up and running the exact same way it was in like 10 minutes. But I like the chance to start fresh
