So, I got the Goomanager notification that CM 10.1 RC2 is available for my S4.
I've been using CM 10.1 RC1 since Saturday, and I quite like it. In fact, I'm only using it until a stable PAC rom is made available, and that means I've got my apps, my contacts, everything on this build.
... But I want to upgrade to RC2, and I don't want to have to re-flash and re-build everything all over again.
Is it possible to flash RC2 over RC1 and keep my apps and settings?

Going from 10.1 to 10.1 RC whatever should be ok with a dirty flash. I would make a nandroid, flash dirty and see what happens. If it doesn't work, restore your backup, if it does, you're good to go.

There are quite a few ICS Preview ROMs out there in the development subforum. But which one is the best by far? Please give me a link.
Roman's IMO, as it is constantly updated, Links are on the Development section.

Agree. The rest are just builds. Romann's is tweaked. Use the milestone 4 (not build 28) cause it changes your tab's MAC address.
i went to the development section and looked for any thread started by roman. i did not find any, can you give what's the thread name itself or a link? i see many kang there but i dunno if that is it.

You click on a build, and find your device name. Ignorance is bliss.
Hi, thanks for the information. I flashed the milestone-4 ROM as instructed. But I was stucked at the initial setup step, where it says 'Turning on Wi-Fi...'. I tried to hit the Skip button. But nothing happened. It seemed that the whole system was stucked. It's been like that for hours. Now what should I do?

For me aokp gave me glitches in the screscreen the 3/25 cm9 nightly build is running way nicer not all the from control ..
I think you can give it a soft reboot to fix it. Hopefully it shouldn't bootloop
boot into CWM, do a factory reset, clear cache.
Then go to the advanced menu and select "fix permissions". That can help a lot of bugs. If that still doesn't work, I would re-download and flash the rom again. I'm running AOKP CM9 milestone 4 on two different devices just fine.
Thank you guys. I did a hard reset and everything was OK after that.
I just flashed the AOKP Build 28 ICS ROM and so far I really like it compared to the Task V14 ROM that I previously had which random reboots.
What is the difference between roman's AOKP and KANG rom from seraphimserapis?
I'm using Kang and would love to know this also.

Best ICS ROM
Dear,
I am completely newbie for this forum, I have Galaxy Tab 10.1 (3g), I flashed with latest Cyanogenmod 4.0.3 and stuck with camera functionality.
I do not know, whether this suggested ROM works with all functionality.
Very sorry if, I posted at wrong place.
For the love of Jesus and all mankind, learn to read before you post.
It clearly says in the OP, CAMERA DOES NOT WORK, has reading become an optional skill now?
ok i get it now. aokp means android open kang project. the poster's name is romanbb and not roman. also, in this thread nothing was said in the op that camera does not work. the op is asking what is the best ics rom. anyways when i got time i will try this aokp. thanks again.

Thanks for info, and kind support.
I'm running pershoots and get random closes on flaps and a couple other apps. Also the browser will randomly stop loading pages and needs to be closed then reopened to get working again.
It installed very well but reading the aokp thread there seems to be a fair number of problems with installs that are keeping me from trying it. Are those people just dummies who don't bother tp do full wipes or do things randomly go wrong?

Good luck.

Look man, I understand this is your first ROM. Now, as you already know, we have CM9, the only changes you made are de-bloating the rom. But, we can all already do that using Titanium Backup, I'd say you gotta add something to this ROM to attract users. Don't get me wrong, you've done a great job. I mean, I can't even do what you did. But all the same, these people won't try out the ROM unless they find something new or better in it.
Looking forward to something better from you. I know you got the potential.
If it was a suggestion you wanted, if you make a CM10 ROM, I'll definitely try it!
Cheers.

Heya,
I have been trying to get pdroid running on Indie's Omega rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663656), but as yet have been unable to. Currently using Omega v11 but have been trying since v9.
The latest method I have been trying is by using the Auto-Patcher by mateorod and pastime (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1719408). Every different type I have tried comes back with 'error: failed framework.patch'.
So, the main question is, has anyone gotten Pdroid running on Omega rom or a stock S3 deodexed, rooted, rom and if so what patcher/script etc did you use?
Uptil now I have been using LBE but from everything I have read I would be remiss not to use pdroid instead.
I know I could switch to Aokp, CM etc, however I really like Omega rom and would prefer sticking to it if I can.
As this is my first post I hope it is in the right place, if this is not the case I apologise and please feel free to delete or move it as is fitting.
Thankyou in advance!
EDIT: Really? No one has tried putting pdroid on an omega/sammy rom?? Or am I missing something (ie a better alternative, it's not possible, etc)

Hmmm, PDroid hasn't been updated for a while and it was having problems with the latest ROMs in my old (faithful) Galaxy Mini, so maybe when a Universal Patcher comes out as promised by the developer we may be lucky. That is probably my most missed app. BTW, there were other patchers that are meant to continue on pdroid's so I guess you can try them, I haven't myself because I know very little about developing or creating ROMs, etc. I'm barely able to flash after reading the instructions about 32 times.
Unfortunately from what i understood that great tool of autopatchrr is working only on cms aosp and aokp.
We have to hope period owner will throw out a specific version of it for ics jb ...
Thought this thread got buried without a reply. New version of the autopatcher is out, is looking closer to working on non aosp/aokp roms. (if not already?)
The alternative I have been using is LBE security, not the market one as that isn't JB supported.
The english translation of the latest versions are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422479
Still buggy but overall works well.
LBE is a security problem

LBE is a closed source product. Devs are not responding. The app has complete root access.
=> BIG Security ISSUE
If you really go for security I would use this. Just answer for yourself:
Do you trust the manufacturer of LBE in a way that you open the complete phone for any access for them just to stop a couple of applications accessing your contacts? (just as an example ...)
Finally Noxious Ninja was able to run PDroid on Galaxy S3 with Stock ROM and TouchWiz!
But it's for the Verizon Version.
I hope with this the biggest obstacle is overcome. Maybe here is somebody able to make it analog for the International Version (I9300) and Omega Rom?

Awesome news, nicely spotted. Hopefully it wouldn't take too much to do it for the international. If I knew enough I would give it a go myself.
Been a long time coming.
Ninja didnt share the most important thing. How he managed to run the patcher on that ROM.
Maybe it would be already possible to create the patch.., we need to know how he achieve this. I was already writing in there

Hello guys! I want to ask you guys some questions. First of all what is ''NIGHTLY'' and ''STABLE'' means?
For example i donwloaded the CM. Should i download all Nightly 1, Nightly 2, Nightly 3...? Or just can i download the last one?
And my final question. What is ''MileStone'' and ''Release Candidate'' means? Thank you so much! (sorry for my weak english. I hope i can tell u guys my problems.)
Some other questions on this topic.
You guys know Honami MoonWalker ROM. Some users says V6 is not that stable than V5.5. Most of them says V5.5 is better than V.6.
I search a lot but where can i find the V5.5?
Nightly means a build in an early stage of development.
MileStone was a CM 10.2 version released before Release Candidate. In general, MileStone means a big progress.
Stable stands for CyanogenMod here 10.2, which has been fully fixed recently. By saying fully fixed, I mean the source, not the build for our device.Always be sure to download the latest build, you don't need the ones released before.
So, STABLE > MILESTONE > (BETA) > (ALPHA) > NIGHTLY
Be sure to make a backup of your data before doing anything. Ensure your bootloader is unlocked, then flash a kernel with recovery. Once you are there, you need to wipe system, data and cache partitions so there are no leftovers from the previous rom and everything works fine.

I will use Phantom kernel with CyanogenMod 10.2. LINK There is 2 options. 1-) MileStone 2-) Release Candidate. Which one should i download. In kernel's page dev says i can use that kernel on CM or stock based roms. Can i really?
Or should i use GNU kernel with CM 10.2 LINK. (Man i really appreciate your patience. If i were you i would kill my self for this stu**d questions )
The Phantom kernel is meant for CM 10 roms based on Android 4.1.2. In each CM release you download there is a kernel that is installed automatically when flashing the rom. Of course, you need any kernel with recovery to be able to flash the rom. Release Candidate is newer than MileStone, the builds are listed in chronological order in the thread. Also, when you will be updating your rom to the latest release, don't forget to wipe cache and dalvik cache. If something is not working properly after the update, it means you should try wiping data too, but be careful because that's where all your apps are located.
To be honest, trial and error is the best way of learning stuff, if you have a backup of course.
I can recommend you a really nice app called "Nandroid Manager". It lets you restore apps and their data from backups made in recovery. Keep in mind that it doesn't support CM 10.2's inbuilt Superuser app so you will need to download SuperSU from Play store to be able to use it.

Hello, I now have a SGS2 9100P with 4.1.2 stock ROM rooted with PhilZ CWM based recovery.
I would like to upgrade it to KitKat 4.4 and I found out 3 candidates:
CM11
SlimSaber
OmniRom
I don't want any special feature, I would only like to have the plain Android with GApps and a good CPU/battery performance, but I need all the HW feature active (such as front camera, NFC, tethering...).
I would also like to be sure I can get back to current ROM just restoring my current Nandroid backup.
Which one would you suggest and why?
Any other candidate?
Thank you very much!
[EDIT]
Important: this is not about what's the best ROM, I'm only asking which one of those will allow me what I asked.

Hey...i'm from SlimSaber thread...
So....my suggestion and why.
Kitkat is immature as of now....afaik...and yes...I did test Slimkat Sabered ....but...if yoj don't need features.....you could go for it with couple of common #blame Samsung issues and such....I really don't know about NFC or any workaround to get it working...or if it works....so....the best I can suggest is....close this thread and go for a reading trip over the threads and look at responses by users....you don't even need to ask anything....a lot is going on and peeps keep posting this n' that....just read man....and you'll become enlightened man:good:
Beam-ed through your pineal gland via//Android 4.3.1//
Thanks for your answer, but keeping pace with those three threads is impossible by a human beeing!
I thought those few questions were quick ones for ones who knows the three ROMs listed.
If they three all can be completely reverted with a nandroid restore, I could test them all.

Hi,
I'm also from slim.
In order to resume a little bit, with slim or any aosp based rom:
-Mali drivers, are not from original Samsung source,
-fm radio is absent but you can use an App called spirit FM to have a workaround.
-HDMI output trough micro USB is not available, due to, again lack of drivers from Samsung.
NFC, is not in the slim rom (i don't know other roms), but there is a patch that you can flash (Google xda i9100 NFC) and with slim rom for i9100 + NFC patch, NFC will work, afaik.
Slimkat is still in beta phase, that is to say, most of the great slim enhancements are not still ported due to slim team is working to recode in order to have a real slimkat code rather than adding just the enhancements. That is what makes slim different from others.
Finally, nandroid. you come from stock rom, with philz recovery and you make nandroid.
To flash slimkat, (I don't know other roms) first you must flash a kitkat compatible recovery, and then reboot in recovery to flash slimkat.
IN order to go back from slimkat, from slimkat recovery you should flash first Philz kernel/recovery flashed and used to make nandroid, reboot to recovery and then restore nandroid.

I know telling you try them all is not helping. But that's actually true.
Personally I love SlimSaberKat of @fusionjack.
Anything HW goes smoothly...
NFC is an /p feature so I don't think is implemented in slimkat. I think if you look around you can find how to add it.
Nandroid works
however please note that 4.4 is very different and some apps MAY NOT BE SUPPORTED YET. They will need to be upgraded to new infrastructure but depends on app's developer, not the ROM.
Back to kill button doesn't work... That's all. If you use nav bar you can use that back button and works just fine. I have a task manager and does great job.
Be careful that you have to install first the KitKat recovery then reboot in it and from that install the ROM.
Personally, I like slimkat for DPI, features, smoothness, ART working great, helpful devs, etc...
I suggest (and it will take just a couple of hours) flash first slimkat then any other ROM... You'll return to it finally.
However, note that any KK is still work in progress so don't expect that you flash one last version and you're set for life.
