I was wondering if someone could clarify if dirty flashing a cm13 upgrade (nightly) you can also flash new gapps, or if based on the recommendation below that can only be done on first cm flash from stock.
Anyone ever done this or it just is not useful /should not /cannot be done?
"Note: In case you want to use any gapps, YOU MUST install the right gapps the first time that you flash a marshmallow ROM. Do not boot with an older gapps or without one and then try to install it later."
Thanks!
Yes you can flash new gapps after dirty flashing CM13. But I don't know why anyone would do that since CM13 has gapps persistence between dirty flash.
Pixel launcher as system app got me wondering about this!
Thanks!

AGREE !~:good:
do whatever , but remember,
DO NOT TURN ON THAT "UPDATE CYANOGEN RECOVERY" OPTION, which erases twrp ,
and too many ppl complain about stuck in cm recovery after ota,, remember that..
Thanks for that!
Don't even know where that is.
Will look for it!

Hey Nexus 9 users, anyone tried an Unlegacy Android build from builds.unlegacy-android.org/aosp-7.1/flounder/? They did really great work for the Galaxy Nexus with their rom and I am thinking about testing it, but before I want to ask if anyone has any experiences with this rom for flounder.

Try flashing, then reboot recovery and flash gapps.
Given that it's 7.1.1, how is it any different from stock rom? They're basically the same thing.
Hey guys, I want to switch to LOS14.1 by TheStrix, because it is now stable and bug-free.
There are some other things i want to flash too, so I just wanted to clear things up a bit.
I want to flash radon kernel, Arise sound mod, and magisk, because apparently magisk will allow me to use banking apps.
From referring to other people on the forum, i have the following:
1)Flash CM14 Firmware
2)Flash ROM
3)Flash GAPPS
4)Flash Radon Kernel
5)Reboot and setup phone
6)Flash magisk
7)Enable hide root
8)Flash Arise sound mod with arise magisk compatibility module.
So I have some questions regarding this procedure.
Do I have to flash supersu before flashing Magisk?
Is it worth it to switch data and cache to F2FS?
Do I need to switch recoveries to do this?
Is this the right order to flash the ROM and accompanying zips?
I am using the snapdragon redmi note 3 with fpc fingerprint sensor.
I have an officially unlocked bootloader.
I am currently on RR_MM official.
I would test it out myself, but i'm in college, so i don't really have time to do that.
If anyone would share their experiences or give me some pointers, it would be much appreciated.
No you must switch to RR n

Why is it a must to switch to rr n over los?
I actually don't really mind using either ROM, but I wanted to test out LOS for a while.
No its laggy too much
what i just did in the beginning was to wipe everything except the external sd card.
i would suggest to run the rom the rom first time without new kernel. i just updated my RR Nougat to todays release and wanted to flash radon just ahead, had some errors in recovery doing so. did a reboot, new rom was there but no radon. again flashing within recovery and no problems. with arise i have no clue, i dont use it
Quote from the Radon kernel v4.3 changelog, applicable to your step 4, 5 and 6.

If your rom uses magisk root, then don't flash radon immediately after rom, first boot to system once.

You might be using an outdated GApps package, as it is known to cause this issue. Try with the latest opengapps.

no need to flash it if there's nothing wrong
if there's something wrong, try to flash latest MIUI Beta firmware, you can find it in ROM section, and no need to flash it everytime you flash a new ROM, just flash it once and you're good to go
I wanted to know what's the most stable and well maintained ROM here?
All are maintained ,but havoc is good

Hey guys, I have a few questions regarding the recovery, any help is appreciated.
1>Which Recovery did you flash?
2>Can you dirty flash roms(to update the ROM from one ver. to another) in it?(Because i read that the data must be cleared after flashing any rom)
3>Which ROM and recovery are you on?
4>Are there any special methods you need to follow to flash?
Thanks in advance :good:

LineageOS 17.1

1. OrangeFox Alpha build (note the description "Alpha" - meaning it is still at a pre-release stage)
2. You must format data if changing ROMs
3. I have tried 6 Android 11 ROMs (all of them have one issue or the other), and 10 Android 10 ROMs. I will probably settle for EvoX or Corvus (Android 10, both by dungphp)
4. No. Just select ROM zip and flash, and then format data

Do you need to wipe data after dirty flashing to update a rom to a higher version?

Idk. I guess it depends on the ROM, and on what has happened between the release of the old version and the new version. If the new release of the ROM doesn't involve dramatic changes to the trees, then, perhaps formatting will not be required. You should follow the recommendations of the ROM's developer.
By the way, I said nothing about wiping data. I referred to formatting data - which is a completely different thing.

I started with the Russian twrp by wszx150 but have also used pbrp, twrp by mauronofrio (most likely to become official twrp for curtana), and I'm now using Orange Fox Alpha (admittedly for its good looks). Every version has its own strengths and weaknesses so it really depends on what you want to do.
For instance, most (or all) TWRP versions cannot decrypt data partition after you change ROMs hence format data is mandatory before you switch (from encrypted) roms.
AFAIK only lineage twrp supports adb sideload,
Pbrp, lwtrp, and the aforementioned twrp by wszx150 are basically same in terms of functionality.
Most work well for backup and restore...
Mtp file transfer doesn't work in Orange Fox (i can overlook that as it is in Alpha stage).
What I'm saying is don't try to get your mind fixed on just one. Such a Swiss Army knife doesn't exist (yet) for RN9 pro.
