Guest nabby21 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Hi, so up until now, I've been installing all my roms via the clockwork mod method. The problem is, I keep encountering little bugs and force close problems etc, and I hear CWM method is dated. I briefly read there are new, more improved/efficient ways of putting roms on, and was wondering with anyone can help me out on how to do it? I am currently running cyanogen 9, and its a bit problematic, so whats the latest stable rom, and the best way to install it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest george109 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Have you tried TWRP? (Team Win Recovery). Also did you install CM with full wipes? (So, you went into mounts and storage in CWM and formatted everything) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kyan31 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 TWRP is great, I use it as my daily recovery and it has served me well. It has a nice GUI, theme support, it has a built in file manager, and everything you would expect from CWM recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nabby21 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Hi George, yea Im quite a noob, but what I remember doing was wiping current rom from the CWM menu, then wiping all the davilke cache etc then installing the new rom from zip. So how do I go about putting a new rom on via TWRP method? Is it easier and cleaner? Also could you recommend me a nice stable rom, Cheers and thanks for the response guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it reboots you will have TWRP. It's that easy! :D Also it is a lot easier, as instead of having to use volume buttons, it is full touch, and it is almost like an android app! .

Guest nabby21 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I also recall someone recommending another user to use "GooManager" app to install roms. Dyou know much about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent had much experience with TWRP, so I can't really help you with it. Sorry :( I only use CWM as I never really use the recovery much, as I have been on Electra almost since it came out.

Guest nabby21 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Thanks. I decided to go for the Baidu3stable rom. And I used the TWRP method. Am I correct in selecting wipe, then installing the rom from zip and rebooting, and thats it? Because as soon I'm on the setup screen once the phone powers on, i get the message, "unfortunately setup wizard has stopped" Giving me the options to report etc. This doesnt look promising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nabby21 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Now every time I go onto google play, I get "application stopped". What has gone wrong? Can somebody please help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest george109 Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) You could try flashing GAPPS again... Edited June 9, 2013 by george109 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
