You update it by flashing the new ROM over the top of it when the foxhound Dev releases it. Exactly the same way as you did initially when first installing Foxhound.
Go to recovery
install zip from sd card (or wherever you downloaded it to)
Flash zip.
As long as you dont format data then you will not lose you apps etc.
Fix permissions is under "Advanced" in ClockwordMod recovery. It "fixes" the read/write/execute permissions of apps to make them compatible with the system.

But when i click the fixed permission it stuck... i wonder why.. i left it for about 5 mins n nothing happen..

I had that once. Just reboot the device let it boot fully. Everything will be ok.

It can take up to 10 mins to fix permissions, just be patient

Please help!!!

Thank you but when i go into cwm and i navigate to the sd card and select it nothing happens maybe there is a problem with my sd card
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Sd card as instructed or external sd card ???
Is CWM 3e or the required 4
jje
If flashing from cwm remember to flash it twice as per instructions from cm7 thread.
I went from villain to cm7 with no issues. Currently testing it and so far its very decent and fast!

NO 4e = Clockwork mod required to flash custom roms .
Guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125282
Clockworkmod is a 'custom recovery' made by xda member koush. Every phone had a recovery partition designed so that if the user messes up a ROM installation, they can recover their phone. CWM is a modified recovery installed into the recovery partition that allows advanced control over ROM recovery, installation and much more.
Features of CWM include:
- NANDroid Backup, This allows you to completely back up your existing ROM with all its files, data and apps
- Restore Backup, Restores a previous backup (obviously...)
- ROM installation, Allows you to install a ROM contained inside a flashable .zip file
- Wipe data/Factory reset, completely erases all of your data contacts, apps etc, leaving your phone 'as new'
Amongst others...
Thanks guys you have been a major help, I got cyanogenmod working and for me personly it KICKS VILLAINS ASS

Use ROM manager only for updating CM7 version once you're using CM7. WHen you flash an AOSP ROM for the first time it is better to do it manually via CWM with a full wipe.

Rom manager not working

My rom manager is not updating, saying some signature error. Right now I am on sensation rom using KI3 kernel.
Can anybody assist and also when I slide on my lock screen to unlock my camera starts automatically.
Please help, this is my first time at rooting.

Signature error due to the missing of zImage. Flash the zImage from your Rooted kernel, via CWM.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Can I flash another kernel over this kernel directly using odin and then installs a new custom rom
Also how many times can I do like this, will it harm my phone.
Sorry but this is my first android phone and I m new to this.
Thx in advance.

What do you need rom manager for? The sensation rom already comes the speedmod kernel which has cwm recovery, boot into recovery if you want to install other roms, don't bother with rom manager. You can flash all day long.
I noticed today that the data connection on my phone is not working the way it used to before I flashed the rom. Any particular reason or remedy for this.
No wonder have a better battery performance

Omega installation problems

Hello guy im having some issues installing omega v12 to my gs3 my phone is GT-I9300 model and rooted, I downloaded the room to my internal sdcard and install it via cwm, the installation secced every time but when it reboot it gets stuck at samsung logo and returns to recovery, whats wrong with my phone? or what am I doing wrong?
Anyone pls.!!!!!:crying::crying::crying::crying:
Have you wiped it before flashing the Rom e.g. factory reset wiped cache and delvik cache also they flashing it twice straight after each other
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
There should be no need to install it twice in a row. Try what was first suggested.. when in recovery, wipe data/ factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash ROM... reboot.
Did you make a nandroid backup before flashing?

Bummer. Yeah flash another ROM if you have it on your SD card.. try to boot into something. If it was a bad DL of the omega rom it shouldn't flash, and the fact that your getting successful is weird
Next step is maybe pushing a files onto your phone via ADB and try to flash again. You got recovery so your not too bad off

Why multiple same question posts why not ask in the ARHD question and answers thread .
Repeat the usual answer is one the download is bad or two the user fails to follow instructions are 99% of install faults.

About the instruction im 100% sure that ive done them in right way. But the problem is that im recieving the same error in omega.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
So, go through step by step what you do. It's easier to suggest fixes if we have all info instead of single line comments...
You said it's rooted, Are you using a Samsung rom with an exfat sd card or a CM rom with an exfat card, Is the card formatted fat32?
What steps do you do when you flash a rom, internal sd card or external?
Clean install or dirty?

boot into CWM recovery. wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. apply zip from sdcard. choose zip and installing..then again choose zip from sdcard and select gapps.zip. is this the procedure you are following? I do the same everytime and faced no problems till now. you ahould have the gapps.zip of the respective rom you flash prior to it.

sorry for the n00b like manor
that is a .tar file buddy. You can't flash it thriugh recovery. you have to put your mobile into download mode , connect to pc via uab. start desktop odin, select pda and then CWMtouch.tar file and hit start. then once you see the pass, it is done.
