HOWTO
Install instructions:
1. Install a Recovery (there are some around this forum)
2. Flash Rom
3. Flash gapps
4. Wipe (only required 1st time)
5. Flash kernel (fastboot flash boot boot.img)

Hope I'm not making a fool out of myself..
But, why are the instructions in that order?
The normal way to go is:
Flash kernel > factory/cache partition/system/dalvik cache wipe > Install the ROM > Install any .zip (fixes, addons, apps) > Reboot.
Is there any specific reason why the steps mentioned by the OP are in this order?
Thank you!

Not too sure, I have a slight feeling they messed up when writing it all down. But kernel is always first. After kernel dont boot the rom, just power on and head to recovery. Full wipe, format system, install rom, install gapps, full wipe and wipe dalvik cache, then reboot and watch the magic.

It doesn't matter, if you have recovery in previous ROM you can flash new ROM first in old reco and then flash kernel in fastboot.
May be the answer lies in here..
hmnk said:
Ok problem solved..
build.prop error means I have to use a Kernel that doesn't verify name in build.prop..
So I tried expeacer's MIUI Kernel(Extended stock kernel) and I was able to install CM10..
This info was courtesy of metalrawk
This could possibly be the reason why FXP instructed to flash the Kernel after ROM installation

Did you do a full wipe when installing? Have you tried wiping cache and dalvik and fixing permissions from recovery?

Yes, that means wiping /system, /data, /cache, /dalvik-cache, and fixing permissions in recovery.
Or better yet, download Th3Bill's Full Wipe .zip from jokers website.

I think Acvice means to select full wipe option inside aroma installer. if you do a full wipe before flashing a rom with an aroma installer it will fail because it needs a working rom as a base.

Your right, my bad... But if he was installing a new rom without Aroma; He would want to do what I mentioned.

That is what i meant. But to my knowledge, you 'can' do a full wipe before Aroma, but during the install process you would need to use the volume buttons to select options as the touchscreen won't work. It's just kindof redundant as you get the option to do a full wipe within Aroma anyway.
I use stock rom (original) I9300XXEMC2

My phone started to be slow and laggy. When I get a call it takes about three seconds to recognize the caller. I get alot of apps crash, I mean apps suddenly closes(I started to play a short video and then 3G Watchdog and PlayerPro got close).
What could be the reason for the laggs and slowleness of the phone?
Your rom has the sds fix so it might be the fix kicking in to save your phone. First try clearing cache and dalvic in recovery and fixing permissions, if still laggy then factory reset.
what does clear dalvik and catch do? do I need to backup the phone before I do this things? (I'm not talking about the reset only clear)

It clears the cache and clears the dalvik for details use Google but Dalvik is basically VM .
Backup is not relevant to either both are rebuilt on next boot .

ADVANCED.

I don't have advanced...This is the options I have:
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
apply update from cache
You need CWM recovery .
Use Philz from development .

I use rom stock and original kernel I also don't have root.
Is it possible to do it without root and without changing recovery?

If you're not de-odexed (which you won't be since you're not running a custom ROM) there's not a lot "Wiping Dalvik-Cache" will do. Dalvik-Cache is used when you have dispensed with odex.
Essentially, every app you have has an .odex file.
so:
/system/app/MMS.apk
/system/app/MMS.odex
Most custom ROMs are "de-odexed" which means they get rid of all the .odex files and replace them with dalvik-cache files.
Basically what I am saying is you don 't have any to clear.
I wrote that I use stock rom so I don't want to root my phone.
don't suggest things that can't be done or I don't want to
Anyway thatks
I didn't. I told you it's irrelevant.
All you can do is factory reset or flash official roms. Or dummy file generator.

Didn't lose anything.
Still have the problem. Now it also sometimes restart itself.
Any other solutions except root & wipe?
Factory reset .
Still a problem then a service centre is required .

Do you have recovery installed?
In a recovery, suppose twrp, there will be option named "Wipe"
In that go to "Advanced Wipe"..
Then select system,data. cache, dalvik cache and swipe to wipe!
Done.:good:
done

The same method is followed for both CWM and TWRP but dont know why it doesnot delete in your case. Coz if you are doing a advanced wipe it will surely delete boot files for sure.

Sure, you can. Just wipe everything, other than Internal Storage, the go to Install, select the Stock ROMs zip, swipe to confirm flash, when its done, wipe cache & dalvik and reboot.

Thats strange, did you flash anything else with the ROM ? Any mods etc ?
Are you sure your data, cache & system partitions are in ext4 filesystems ?
earlier i flashed blu spark kernel and converted data and cache to f2fs.
but now i installed stock recovery and flashed only stock rom nothing else.

Can you post screenshots of your data, system & cache being ext4 ?
Also, when you're flashing this ROM, dont flash anything else, Nothing at all, only this 800MB zip package.
Edit - Use TWRP for all this.
