First of all sorry for my bad language
I've a Lg 2x (Aka Optimus Dual) temasek's UNOFFICIAL BUILD, now i saw an update from temasek. I'm asking how i can install the new room file as a simple update without losing any app/contact etc.
Well if it's possible what's the correct way to do an update of a custom Rom ?
Very thanks,
Sorry for the question but i've googled and nothing, also searched here but nothing
if its a update of the same build jus erase cache and dalvik cache and install the rom. then ur data remains untouched. but if the rom is different u need to full wipe. data will be lost. but u can sync contacts to gmail and retrieve back any time.

What does errase cache and dalvik cache do? Does the settings stay the same or do you have to set them again when you update? If it delets settings...can you update without errasing cache?
Nope...clearing cache and dalvik cache only wipes unimportant info...your settings will be there as long as you don't press factory reset...

exactly. but look for the requirements for the update. sometimes even updates may require data wipe if the dev states it.

All the above is good and true. I'd like to add that I always make a ROM backup with ROM Manager before I update my ROM. That way, if something should go wrong, I can get back to where I was before the update.

Not recommended to Samsung Galaxy Ace this ROM Manager because it bricks your device!

Dude you could just install Titanium Backup from the play store and back up all the apps and data you want to. And yeah, your device needs to be rooted. Cheers.
Hey, so I was wondering quite a long time now (and I haven't found an answer), when I am changing either Rom or just want to wipe data/cache/dalvik cache... will the scripts I installed disappear ? Do I have to reinstall them ?

If you install another ROM you'll have to reinstall them. If you are wiping,you don't have to, because you are wiping them user's data not the system data.

Yes,becuase it gets wiped when flashing a new rom.
Sent from my fingers to your face,take it or leave it.

Did You make data restore via xRecovery (or CWM)?
i found my apps Force closing aswell or malfunctioning when restoring the apps from titanium backup.
try a fresh install of the apps causing the problems .
if its apps you did not download but are auto installed try to cleane cache/dalviks cache and fixing permissons. help counter a number of problems ive had in the past!
Install different rom such as wolfxperia

Did factory reset, wiped cache and installed the ROM again... Lets see if this works out... What about the application related folders that are in my sd card already?

I've tried several ROMs on my Neo MT15i, rooted, unlocked bootloader, alliance kernel 1.5, firmware .587. Now I'm on Thilinac Ice cream pureness 14 sp1. Everything is working well..... but... Every time I reboot the phone I MUST clean cache and Dalvik cache via CWM recovery. If I don't do it , after booting several apps go force closing in loop and the phone is unusable. I've had this problem also with other ROMs like Jelly-Sandwich, any release. Tried also to format sdcard without benefit.
Thank you for help
Try clearing app data from settings!
Then,reboot

Unfortunely it doesn't work....
It afflicts every app I install as user, either in system /data, or in sdcard.
After installing a new Rom, on a clean system, I use titanium backup to re-install my apps.

I do this every time I install new ROM
I've formatted system, data, cache, everything. Than reinstalled the ROM (Ice cream Pureness 14 sp1).
when booted I didn't reinstall anything from Titanium and tried a reboot......... As usual, Gmail and Google playstore
went FC loop. GMail and Playstore are apps coming with the ROM .... Than I rebooted in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache and .... all run perfectly and smooth... The problem is still there.
Next time I'll try formatting all, reflash firmware .587, and than reinstall ROM.

Exactly. I had this problem with JellySandwich too, I tried several ROMs, but, at last, what I like more is IceCreamPureness for its balance , smothness and for very good battery life.
And how u solve this FC problem?

explained in previous post.
The problem is related to the moving of apps to sd card or in system partition. It afflicts the managment of dalvik cache

I asked about that b4 and they told me it's ok about partitioning sd card.. I was suspicious about link2sd and u confirmed that now but iam disappointing the basic reason that I root for is to move all applications on sd card

On initial setup contacts storage, setup if you try to change time zone, sync stops working as it is experiencing problems, i have continued using the rom and havent had anymore force closes so it should be ok hopefully
No such luck unfortunately market keeps coming up with an error and dolphin browser is closing randomly with no error msg
