The beauty of getting into more advanced functions of Android is being able to install custom ROMs that improve upon the the base of Google’s operating system. Thanks to the hard work of people at places such as XDA and Roots Wiki, the rest of us can flash to our hearts context.
However, problems arise when flashing one ROM that is completely different from the last or even when only updating the current ROM that you’re running. From freezing to force closing, failing to wipe your data correctly can prevent you from enjoying your new ROM. None of us want that.

Below are instructions to help ensure that you flash your ROM correctly.
While On Your Current ROM
– Use Titanium Backup to backup ALL apps & data
– Create a nandroid backup using either ROM manager or through system recovery
In Recovery Menu
– Boot into recovery and perform these operations:
* factory rest
* wipe cache
* advanced -> wipe dalvik cache
* mount/unmount -> format system
– format boot
– Flash a ROM
– Flash gapps
– Wipe dalvik cache
– Flash a kernel (ex. matr1x kernel).
Setting up the New ROM
– Sign in and let your apps restore
– Reboot your phone
– Use Titanium Backup to restore the remaining apps that didn’t auto install
– Use Titanium Backup to restore all the data for all of your installed apps
DO NOT RESTORE THE SYSTEM DATA (titanium highlights those in red).
Enjoy your ROM 🙂

[..YouTube..] Did you already put CyanogenMod on there? If not then download that and there should be an app built in called “theme chooser.” Just pick whatever color you’d like 🙂 There’re more colors in the Android Market too.

[..YouTube..] Maybe it was doing a full wipe/factory reset in the beginning? You know how rooting goes…lol. Have you tried switching the governor to “on demand” or “smartass” (in the perfromance > cpu settings?). I’m pretty sure that’s the only thing I changed.

[..YouTube..] Oooh I remember something else! Go into the cyanogenmod settings and there should be a display setting that lets you choose how dim the screen gets (I thiiiiiink it’s in the performance settings but not sure). Play with that and your screen won’t do the green thing anymore, for sure! I believe any option after the 4th one from the top will work.
