Root super clean 2.2

1) yes, make sure everything is backed up, contacts too
2) yes, push EB01 radio with odin
3) wipe data and cache a few times before flashing sc 2.2
4) flash superclean, the red voodoo (if you choose to do voodoo) cwr is included in this rom
5) make a back up in red cwr
6) make sure everything is running well before loading a theme on there. I would definitely back up before any theme because sometimes they cause issues.

Good luck!

 

Anyone know, can you do a SC2.2 upgrade over the SC2.1 without a wipe?

 

yes...just make sure to not flash a nonvoodoo version over a voodoo versoin

 

Righto...I could see bad things happening there

 

Yeah went from from 2.0 to 2.2 just awhile ago. Great reminder by nitsuj17 as well since prior to 2.0 there was no voodoo option now that there are two make sure you do the same to the same. [Not a terrible thing if you accidently throw voodoo over non of course. But non over voodoo = . Although even that can be undone via adrynalyne's mighty all in one odin] But make like easier and keep voodoo to voodoo or non to non

 

2.2 is awesome, but only downside is the google search is back to white again instead of having a black option....but of course, the power button camera makes it all worth it alone

 

Most themes change the Google search widget to make the main theme

 

So what happens if you do nonvoodoo over a voodoo? Can you just push the original DI01 package to the phone through odin and start over? Just asking I am heading into voodoo land in a few minutes.

 

Yeah I have the superdark theme, but it had the white google in it too, so I was using the black google in SC....but it is a minor thing

 

Yeah the di01. Odin file fixes all even voodoo screwups ....occasionally reflashing a voodoo kernel after mistakenly flashing rfs over voodoo fixes it...but its not always going to work

 

So that brings up a point...does lots of flashing of different ROM's and Kernels and themes leave behind garbage ever on the phone...is it a good practice to do a full odin di01 stock unroot restore and then re root and so forth to clear that up every once in a while..or does the reset and flash usually clean it up pretty good?

 

I personally have never cleared or wiped anything I just flash over the old stuff and it works. I hate setting up my phone. I haven't wiped anything from DI01 to SC2.2. I have went back and done a restore a few times. If it will make it faster then I'll do it but I won't want to

 

Often you can get away without wiping data when upgrading...still its the best practice to wipe when upgrading and a good idea between roms..but when going to aosp its not an option...you have to wipe data and cache

 

Just a FYI ... I just ran a quadrant benchmark to see what the numbers are (I know that they don't mean much) but I got a 1419 on Superclean 2.2 with no cache/data wipe.

 

I wiped cache and data numerous times before flashing 2.2 Voodoo from 2.1 Voodoo, and it came out very buggy so I wiped and restored my previous backup. I am assuming I need to flash 2.2 twice. Is this normal? (And should I wipe/flash it, reboot, then wipe/flash it again - or wipe/flash/flash, reboot?)

 

I just wiped cache and dalvik cache and did a install of 2.2 right on top of 2.1 and then flashed my superdark theme on top of it again and had no issues at all

 

Thats what I'm gonna do tomorrow. My first flash of eb01 superclean keeps freezing up on me. It was happening on dl30 also . Both times I wiped data/cache too...like 3 times. Maybe this will help? I dunno. If not, I might just odin back to di01 and start fresh.

 

I do like the camera mod thats a part of the sc2.2

 

I sort of like it but it's not ideal. It doesn't take the picture until you release the button, which is the same problem as using the screen. A lot of photographers press the shutter and don't release until the picture is taken to combat camera shake and blurry photos.

 

Stupid question here, but if its not "technically" good to put voodoo over non voodoo, then how do you jump yourself to voodoo???

you have to get there somehow, right?

 

It's fine, but the first boot with the robot voice would freak you out if you didn't expect it. And if you panicked and pulled the battery well...

 

Copy that NOsquid.

 

I wish I could have the robot voice instead of that chick that does the gps. I think it is pretty cool.
