OK....so I'm currently running Chameleon with jeboo kernel......
Just tried to do a nandroid restore from a backup compiled by PhilZ kernel. After doing the usual wipes the backup *seemed* to go through OK, but on startup I got a boot loop.....
Rebooted into (PhilZ) CWM and wiped dalvik and cache and rebooted....still boot loop. Don't want to factory reset as I'll delete all my apps and settings which kinda defeats the purpose of a nandroid.
The nandroid I tried to restore was a rooted debloated 4.1.2 firmware.....any ideas anyone?

Nandroid by default doesn't backup /preload partition, so you must include that in your nandroid backup to avoid bootloop in newer firmware versions. Especially if you are jumping around roms.

In cwm there is an option to include the /preload in our nandroid backup.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
OK...so found the option to restore preload under advanced restore....
But can't seem to find the option to create the image during backup....
Can I assume that it's backed up by default, but not restored unless the option to restore is selected?

For some reason I am getting an invalid thread id error when I am quoting you, anyway your reply, no,default nandroid doesn't include /preload, there are options like misc. Nandroid settings where we can select the option to include the /preload partition in our nandroid backup.
Edit:You will need to scroll down in cwm to see it.

Guess you will have to upgrade your cwm, I use 6.0.2.9 and it gives the option to include the /preload in misc. Nandroid settings, maybe it's given somewhere else in that version, did you try the backup and restore in the advanced menu, there we can specify every partition we want or don't want, compression..

Hey Guys
Bit of a noob here. I got two questions.
Ive just flashed VR3 but the tweaks are scarce is there a way to add more tweaks to VRtweaks?
Second Ive got Rom manager (awsome product) but I cant seem to flash cyanogenmod 7. When i direct Rom Managee to install cyannogenmod from sd it gives me the 3 options 'back up current rom' and so on and asks to boot into recovery and when i press OK nothing happens
Please help!!!

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.
Now then guys... i am thinking about rooting my phone to put jelly bean on my samsung galaxy s2 .... i was just wondering views on which is the best one to go for ( LINKS PLEASE ) and is it easy to do you know the usual questions you will have heard them before lol IM A NEWBIE !!!

Download Siyah 3.5.2.

Then use this guide.

Nevermind it says Cf-root. I flashed my Siyah kernel that way.
After that, flash any rom you want in recovery. Just do a Nandroid backup in recovery and backup apps with Titanium backup from Market!!!

Don't restore apps after flashing newer ROM, cause your phone will bootloop.
Better create text file and write names of installed apps.
Im not sure why everyone is worried about backing up there apps ive flashed about a 100 roms and never had to back them up cause if u go to the play store under my apps there always there
Infact there are apps there id forgotten about just pick which ones u want and re install .some roms auto instal them for u .make sure you have a google acc obviously!

Only if the application is on the external memory card then it's backed up there. Otherwise they'll loose the data if that's not the case.

If you restore from google play, you loose all your app settings and you will have to reconfigure each app.
Also, Google Play will not show apps installed offline (apk)
Restoring app data with third party app like titanium backup is safe if app is compatible with the target rom

in order to install a perticular custom rom , all u have to do is to follow the install instruction's of the same in there OP. and the same applies to all other roms also.
since installation instruction do vary from one custom rom to another
Jasper,you are better to read up on things so you are familiar with the processes of like rooting/kernels/roms/cwm/Odin/troubleshooting.
I understand reading 1000s of posts is tedious,but you could end up with a non working phone.

"Lol no offense" but what on earth are you talking about? Firstly he didnt mention anything about 4.2.2, He said LS8 which is 4.2.1 and HAS been officially released, doesnt make a difference whether its for another country or not.
@ OP
Reboot into cwm and wipe data/factory reset. If that doesnt help you should format emmc and sdcard or use nuke/clean scripts and then flash rom.
I think this is a general 4.1.x fault, I have a galaxy tab2 also on 4.1.1 now and it has got the same problem, every time you switch on from a full power down you have to select the default launcher again, set the stay-awake in developer options, select default music player, and any other default app if more than one is installed, was thinking of removing stock apps and replacing with the ones i want, ie remove default launcher and replace with adw-launcher in system so it is not uninstalable, etc any thoughts?
ps i tried the nuke and wipe scripts no better
only other thing is remove micro-sd
format internal storage
flash PIT,
reinstall stock from odin
but as the tab2 is also same problems i really can't see it doing any good. might go back to SLIM-BEAN rom i think
(only thing how can i port slim-bean to the tab2 as i would like the same rom on both devices this is another topic though)
Anyone know how to get rid of the annoying message that comes on whenever I enable GPS? Its so annoying to have to see that every time I turn it on. Also, I am currently rooted running the stock 4.1.1 I believe; whatever release came with the Note 2 and I am looking for a decent ROM. I dont have alot of experience and dont wanna mess up my phone.

Basically its backup all your apps and data from apps u downloaded, like facebook,twitter,etc.. the user apps, system apps, the ones that come with the rom dont ever restore causes problems rom to rom.. after u put the rom on your ext sd card..twrp, go to wipe proced to wipe data factory reset,cache,dalvik cache, install from storage the rom, flash that, then reboot... I personally purchased an app called go backup for all my backups and restore.. it only let's up backup your user apps not system apps so u can't screw up your restore, what I do is backup with go, then flash my new rom, after the new rom is up and running re downldownload go from market and restore from there, all apps are saved dont even have to log into anything again...

You won't need to wipe data if you're flashing the same ROM but yes, you should always backup. Always take a Nandroid backup before flashing ANYTHING. Also think about using Titanium backup for individual apps.
