-Advenced>> Reboot into recovery
-Flash rom nuke script
-flash kitkat ROM
-flash gapps
-reboot system now

You need to search because this information is easily found by doing same. And you also need to use a descriptive thread title. Why ? Because they're the forum rules.

[Q] Can you delete ZIPs containing ROM or KERNEL info aftr flashing?

Hi,
As the title says i was wondering if you could delete ROM or KERNEL ZIPs after flashing the ROM or Kernel. I mean i could use it to install the same ROM again or i could just backup it from CWM. I am asking because those ZIPs take alot om memory and it would be a relief if i could get rid of them.
(i flashed ROM and Kernel through CWM in internal SD)
Thanx,
Warden

Yes of course. After flashing the ZIP you can delete it. Make sure to make a copy in your PC though in case you need to flash it again. Cheers.
i have them already on my computer, because i tranferred it from computer to internal SD

I think these are the best steps:
1) First make sure that Clockworkmod Recovery in installed. If no then first go install clockworkmod recovery on Samsung galaxy S3
2) Download the CM10.2 & GApps zip from above link.
3) Place those zip on to your SD CARD.
4) Boot into CWM Recovery mode.
5) Select Install Zip from sd card >
6)Choose zip from sdcard.
7) Now first install the CM10.2 zip from sdcard.
8) Then install GApps zip from sdcard.
9) Now back to Main recovery menu & select Wips data/factory reset. (MUST)
10) Select Reboot
or you coud just download an app for installing cyanogenmod from their web page

[Q] Need help installing NeatROM for the first time

Hi everybody! This is my first time posting here and first time trying to install a custom rom. I've been running stock 4.1.2 for 3 years but the phone lately got very slow and battery has been draining very fast so i decided to reinstall everything. I decided to try a custom rom as it will be missing all the bloatware and after reading about different custom roms decided to go for NeatROM based on 4.4.
Ive read some guides on how to install it and was confident how to do it but the more i read the more confused i got.
I would be very greatfull if someone can give me step by step instructions with links to the correct files.
My phone is:
Gt-I9100
Android versio 4.1.2
Baseband version I9100XXMS2
Kernel version 3.0.31-1211311 , [email protected]#3, Smp preempt thu may 16 10:05:20 kst 2013
Build number jzo54k.I9100xwlsw
What I have done so far is:
- done a backup with Kies before i changed anything
- rooted the phone using a file CWM-superSU-v0.97.zip by putting on ext SD card and booting in recovery
-installed Titanium Backup and did a backup with it
I'm confused with what to do next. This is where I need your help. I read many user comments on different websites that their phone got bricked and i do not want to do that, that's why i want to clarify all the steps.
I read i should install PhilZ CWM recovery and found this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...lz-cwm6-stock-kernel-cwm6-root-exfat-t1877270
Should i chose file << 03.06.2013 - PhilZ-cwm6 v5.06.1 with CWM 6.0.3.2 based recovery >> for xwlsw
Should i install it using Odin method or by copying to ext sd card?
What is that "no yellow triangle" thing about?
Then should i follow instructions on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ivatives/rom-i9100-aosp-neatrom-v5-8-t2603169
Installation with Full wipe:
-Download KitKat CWM Recovery and save zip to internal SDcard
-Download AOSP NeatROM and save zip to internal SDcard
-Download Google Apps and save zip to internal SDcard
-Boot into CWM or PhilZ Recovery (Volume up + Home + Power)
-DO A DATA WIPE / Clean to install a new ROM
-Go to Advance and Select Wipe dalvik cache
-Go to Mounts and storage, select Format system, Format preload
-Select Install zip from SD card
-Flash KitKat CWM Recovery
-Reboot RECOVERY
-Flash NeatROM
-Flash Google Apps (optional)
-Reboot your device
Will be able to copy the contacts, sms etc from the Kies backup once NeatRom is installed? Should i use titanium backup? Before insatlling the rom it says to do a Nandroid backup? Is that done in recovery mode when Philz CWM has been installed?
i would appreciate if you can list all the steps and most importantly links to correct files.

Hi Lomisz
First of all consider that after 3 years you battery couldd be near its end of life, could not be a firmware related problem (after nearly 2 years my battery cannot last one day any more, I'm going to change it).
Actually I'm happily running NeatRom v6.4 which is 4.1.2 based.
If You want to install 4.4 NeatRom version you have to follow the instructions on the thread (normally NeatRom instructions are well written).
FORGOT to use Keys to restore any data! My advice is to use always Titanium Backup, I've always been able to restore SMS, phone contacts (which usually I keep on my Gmail Phonebook), settings, Wifi, and applications.
If You're running a rooted firmware with recovery I suggest you to perform a nandroid Backup from recovery in order to be able to do a full restore in case of failure.
Thanks for the help. managed to install it last night and everything is working.
One more question, if I want to try some other custom roms which are not based on kitkat then do I need to flash a different CWM recover than the KitKat compatible one that I used so far?

No
And a little suggestion: in case you have kitkat cwm as flashable zip on your storage, leave it there, cause it helped me out often since I'm flashing stuff.
Sometimes flashing something will show an error or elsewhat, but using this cwm version helped me out most of the time till now

Well, if it is Stock, then it should be the original 20D kernel. The OP did not say otherwise.

Entirely clear,
but one thing I am not clear (in general) about the internal SD memory: moving from KitKat to Lollipop ROM by using TWRP recovery should I format the internal SD (or delete all content manually)?
In generally, I didn't understand if there's an incompatibility of data applications residues coming from KitKat that might annoy Lollipop.
Thanks in advance

/system format means your Android system is removed
/data format means your apps are erased
/cache format means.. pretty much what it says
That's all what you need for a new ROM. It's called a "clean flash"
A dirty flash would be the above, but without formatting /data. This retains the installed apps and their settings, but it might upset the new system and cause incompatibilities. It's not a recommended move.
But now, if, for some reason (like selling your phone), you'd like to "FULLY wipe" the phone
/data/media fully wipes your visible folders (not system ones, but the one where apps stores data files, photos, images, music etc)
So wiping Data is mandatory? No way to keep the apps, when coming from an older stock rom 10l?
Download link? I tried all links but only ads become in my screen...

Yes, always do when between different Android or ROM versions. Dirty flashing usually only works without issues when upgrading from a ROM version (example) 4.0 to 4.1 etc. But going from Kitkat to Lollipop it is required or the phone may not boot at all. There are obviously plenty of tools to help with backup/restore of apps+settings, but time spent on fresh install well spent compared to fixing issues or doing it all over again later.
Please anyone who downloaded this rom upload the kernel
Hi i have a few questions about this rom
1-is it necessary to install a 4.4.2 rom and then flash this rom or i can clean flash this rom over android HD 4.0 rom that i have right now ?
2-is this rom smooth or it has lags ?
3-how much screen time do u get with this rom?
Thanks in advance
