Changing from 1 custom Rom to another

[Guest Elisha82]

Hey guys...just picked up my first Android phone yesterday and so far I had installed Xian's V1 rom and then tried LCR 1.7.3 last night and then went back to Xian's rom.

So now I want to try LCR 1.8.

The question is, since I already have the stock 1.100.39 on the phone, can I just boot to recover and wipe/reset to factory and just flash/update to whatever new rom I want from SD or do I have to start from scratch again by re-flashing 1.100.39?

TIA.

No need to re-flash the stock rom.

Just go in recovery and update :(

Good to know that it does not need the 1.100.39 reflashed again.

No need to reset to factory before I run the update/flash again?

Better wipe data factory and dalvik cache before flashing a new rom

Thanks guys, everything seemed to have gone well. Using LCR 1.8 now.

you can also user nandroid to keep configurations you have done after installing rom (installed apps,contacts, etc). as someone who tries alot of roms it is a lifesaver to be able to have a stable backup to move back to and not having to re configure every time :(

which rom do u like best? 1.7, 1.8 or xian?

[Guest Elisha82]

Let's just say Xian was the fastest. You could use SET CPU to overclock up to 960mhz without flashing anything else.

But for the LCR 1.8, I can't get past the default max. I think I have to install a custom kernel or something.

I see some available for the LCR 1.7 but not sure if it will work for the 1.8.

But 1.8 seems smoother than 1.7.3 for me anyway.

Well xian was very fast when oc'd (didn't try it vanilla)... on the other hand, lcr 1.8 vanilla is very fast and smooth, and i get higher linpack scores than xian after flashing the xian 1.0 oc'd boot, although this breaks the wifi.

The custom kernels for 1.7.x will work for 1.8. I did it, nice to be able to release the full snapdragon potential.
