[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
did u try to clear the dalvik cache?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Kaleptik:
Yes it should :)

Also, it's not only for Lestatious.

It should let you go from ANY ROM to Any OTHER ROM.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
so u can also swap linux binarys??
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Kaleptik:
No. It seems that when clearing the cache from the recovery, it's clearing the partitioned cache.

Not the dalvik cache with all the dexes and whatnot inside. So when flashing a new ROM, it tries to read them as it's own but fails to boot.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
that was clear, since clear chache formats the cache partition, dalvik cache is on data, and so will not be touched
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Kaleptik:
I figured that out when I used my Update-ROM.bat to update from JPA to JPM and it failed. Then I added the line where it cleared the dalvik cache on /data and Voila! It worked.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] deadwood01:
How to use and how exactly it works....?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Kaleptik:
The AnyROM Booter?

First, the ROM you are flashing need to have the datafs.rfs removed using Total Commander.

Then you will need to run the AnyROM-Enabler.bat and it will reboot your phone into download mode.

Flash the ROM.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] deadwood01:
Oh k...wat an idiot I am , I thought it was like your updateROM where u put the rom u r about to flash into some folder and just run .bat and update without need of going into download mode.....:D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Kaleptik:
Not an idiot :P Just didnt read. lol
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] deadwood01:
Can something be done in the way I was thinking like flashing without odin, just updating to a diff rom without losing data just as we update from v1.2.6 to v1.7....or is it impossible....?

Reply as yes or no will suffice I really dont understand the technical terms.....:D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] heavens dragon:
finally got some time to try out your new ROM ....as always fast and stable everything running fine expect those alpha kernals using 2.2 it's seems stable and gave good battery backup whereas alpha 14 was sucking battery way too much :( thx for making such a awesome ROM :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Kaleptik:
It's possible. But the updater need to be built.

First go to download mode by clicking on the power button and choosing the download option and then just use ODIN and select onepackage and then select the "Lestatious Package - Fugumod Alpha 14" file in the kernel folder of "LestatiousROMv1.8STOCK(All-Kernels)(UPDATE-ROM.bat)". Hope i am clear enough. And after that just click on start.

I wanted to try a more stable rom and I think this one seems to be the best.. However I was very confused by looking at so many varieties of rom's in this thread. I still don't know what will suit me the most.

I downloaded the updaterom.bat all kernels and ran the update.bat file over jpm. I have chosen the BE non overclock kernel.

here are a few questions I would like to ask.

1. Will the current setup suit my requirements of a stable rom.

2. I chose to instal the stock rom. Can I instal other roms too eg htc.

3 what was meant by cleaning rom?? I selected no.

4. I chose to keep the samsung audio files but they are not working. How can I remove them??

5. The silent phone shortcut Ie the notification bar works opposite. Ie when I select it and there is a green light on it, that time it is actually turns general mode. And vice versa. Which if the theme that works perfectly on it ???.

Thanks
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Kaleptik:
Next up! Figure out the basics of it and restoring. Then trying the update.zip feature.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Kaleptik:
Yes it will.

They are themes as I have yet to upload the theme changer.

It means to take out all the useless apps (IMO)

You cannot yet. I didn't add that feature.

What do you mean by this?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] neo1691:
See when we pull down the notification bar and select the silent mode icon it acts opposite. Luke when you select it to be silent and the green fit comes on it, it actually goes to non silent mode.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] i_rnb:
it correct as per the icon .. the icon is for sound.. so when sound is on ,it is green .. when not it s not..!! :)

I'm checking custom roms right now and last version you've posted looks amazing but should I flash 1.8.5 normally in odin or should I flash any earlier version before? which one?

Could you give me any hint please? Thanks :)
