For that reboot to recovery option activate Developer Options by going to System Setting > About Phone > Build Number and tap on Build Number 7 times.

there's a cool little trick lol awesome. And just to triple check, wipe data and dalvik before I flash right?

You always have better results with a clean install so yes, wipe both data and cache. Make sure you have the ROM and gapps on your sd card first, then wipe all three (data, cache, and dalvik cache) then flash ROM and immediately after flashing the ROM flash gapps, reboot and enjoy.

There's new official 4.2.2 gapps on goo.im

[Q] having problems someone please help.....

i flashed cm7 to my phone and it will not let me sync my gmail account to my phone, it did not come with the market app either is there something I can do about this?
Sounds like you didn't flash gapps. Download this and flash in recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik-cache only, then flash and you will be set.
You need to flash gapps (Google apps). There's a link to the flashable zip on the CM site & probably the CM7 thread as well.

Need Help with GApps for CM 10.1 Nightlies!

I have tried flashing the most recent gapps from Goo.im as well as the Gapps from Android 4.1.2. Neither are working for me. The older gapps causes constant error messages with gapps and the newest gapps does nothing when I flash it. Nothing gets installed. Help!
Tried thoose? http://rapidshare.com/files/3580601868/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip
Yeah I did. Nothing installs after I flash them. It is weird. Got them from goo im who has all of the gapps on their server in addition to pretty much any ROM you can think of.

I was having some errors and I found that a wipe data & cache was necessary. also, DO NOT select GAPPS 4.2 in the download and flash.
I did wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache before. And what did you mean by that last part?

It seems strange ... These on multi-ROM 4.2.2 worked fine for me .. Honestly I have not tried the latest CM but those gapps are recommended for cyano 10.1.x (4.2.2) .. The recovery is updated the latest version?
Yeah it is. I think I will give it a try again tomorrow with a later nightly. I can last on MMuzzy for another day or so LOL. It is a perfectly fine ROM, but after some time on practically stock, I want customization again.

with the touch beta I had several problems on various flash and for this reason I switched to twrp ... if gapps are good (MD5) the problem may be the revocery.
I have wondered about TWRP. How's it compare?

when I loaded Cyanogen 10.1 nightly, I did a wipe of data and cache and I did not select the GAPPS 4.2 because they are included in the ROM.
The latest nightly has gapps included?! Since when? The post here on xda says they don't and provides a link to gapps on goo.

I could be completely incorrect about the GAPPS being included but I'm just reporting what I did... I did NOT select the checkbox to download GAPPS 4.2 along with the 3/16 nightly that I loaded with a wipe data & cache and I have everything working including gmail, calendar, maps, nav, the new camera, etc.
using Rom Manager to download and flash...
Hmm I haven't tried through ROM manager so I might try tonight. Does it auto flash or just download the zip to your phone for you to manually flash in recovery? I usually install ROMs in recovery after wiping cache, davlik cache, and if needed, data wipe.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
So apparently using ROM Manager worked (thanks for the suggestion). What do you guys recommend for a kernel, though? I like Franco.Kernel, but after flashing it, my device does not detect my GNex dock. (Can't have it automatically do Daydream when I put it in the dock)

sorry for the late response... you probably already know that Rom Manager downloads the new ROM in the background and then prompts you to flash it along with presenting switches as to whether to wipe data and cache as well as performing a backup before flashing.
Yeah I used ROM Manager and it worked. They really have improved the app and are better now about keeping a current list of the hottest ROMs with most recent updates. Wish the wipe option had cache, dalvik cache, and data as separate options. Don't want to wipe data just to dirty flash a new nightly

Installing a different custom ROM...

Hello all,
So I'm running Scott's CleanROM AT&T SE 1.5. I want to install the latest version of CleanROM ACE onto my phone now.
This was my first custom ROM install, so I've never switched ROMs like this before. My question is do I need to do anything special to flash ACE, or can I just do it through TWRP like I did last time (from stock to CleanROM)?
Any help is appreciated!

You do it through twrp like you did before. You will need to backup anything you don't wanna lose. I use titanium backup to backup my apps, apps data and texts. You will need to clean flash coming from what you are.

Read the OP (Original Post) for the directions on how you should flash the rom. Read read read.
Clean flash means clearing all data of previous rom. You wipe cache, wipe data, and wipe dalvik in recovery.

Yes, read alot. If you are asking these kinds of questions you need to read up more. Search on here. Look on YouTube, there are plenty of videos

Download the updated cleanrom to your external sd card
Boot into recovery and do a nand backup
Wipe cache, dalvik cache, and data 3 times each (its easy if you go under "advanced" tab in wipe and it let's you select all 3 to wipe at once, then do that 3 times)
Click on install tab and navigate to the rom zip and flash away.
You shod be in familiar waters now.

Question about flashing?

I currently have cm10 on 4.1.2 but I can't seem to update to 4.2 or 4.3 I tried the update in the settings and after my phone wipes everything it just goes back to the home page of TWRP. If I try to flash it manually I can't see the zip file when I'm in recovery. Am I doing something wrong?

I've tried moving it around internal and external into different folders. Its weird it really doesn't want me to flash it. But why cant I even do it through too manager? It does the same thing where it goes to the main TWRP screen

Easiest way.
1. Make a backup of your Internal memory.
2. Update to latest recovery.
3. Copy cm and gapps into the root of your external sd.
4. Wipe data, system, internal(yes that's why the backup).
5. Search for cm and gapps. Flash it.
6. Copy all to internal again.
7. Enjoy.

Also if you have TWRP forget about ROM Manager app. It only works(when that pos does) with CWM.

I figured it out guys. My phone was a hard brick before so my boot loader is old. I had to reflash the MD4 bootloads and flashed from there

Installing Linaro 10.2

I know this shouldn't necessarily be in this section but I've already PM'd someone and asked on the original thread for help and have gotten no response yet. I understand people may be busy though too. At any rate, can anyone give and exact instructions on how to flash this ROM? They're not in the ROMs OP so...yeah, I'm lost.

Use same fresh install method listed in any of my rom threads... I'm not sure about restoring messages I never do it but system data is usually a no no if you have issues with titanium download super su update your binary with the recovery method then go into titanium preferences and click the back up folder location option and change it from sdcard0 to legacy it will ask you if you want to move your back ups say yes then restart titanium and world will be right again
