Right off the assembly line
Hi All,

I've been running Mik's CM7 port for quite some time now, I want to upgrade to 6.5.8 I have a few doubts regarding it.

1)Do i have to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache? or just the 2 caches would suffice? I'm currently running francisco's 19.4 kernel, so just confused about what to wipe. I don't mind wiping everything. as i've backed up most of my data.
2)I'm using Link2SD and i've stored many apps in the ext4 partition of my microsd card, How do i back up the apps stored in the card, I use titanium, but will it restore the apps to the ext4 partition? or do i install Link2SD and do the linking again?
3)I'm using amon_ra's Thunderg custom recovery, should i change to clockwork? If i have to, then how to i remove amon_ra's custom recovery and replace it with Clockwork recovery?

Hope i was clear enough in describing my questions.

Cleaning both the cache should suffice but better clean data. After flashing 6.5.8 if you want you can flash any kernel again without any problem.

2)I'm using Link2SD and i've stored many apps in the ext4 partition of my microsd card, How do i back up the apps stored in the card, I use titanium, but will it restore the apps to the ext4 partition? or do i install Link2SD and do the linking again?

No idea. Wait for others to respond, as I don't use these stuffs.

3)I'm using amon_ra's Thunderg custom recovery, should i change to clockwork? If i have to, then how to i remove amon_ra's custom recovery and replace it with Clockwork recovery?

Nope, you don't need to change your recovery. Flash it using Amon_RA.

Hope i was clear enough in describing my questions.

Thanks for clearing the doubts :) I'll wait for others regarding the Link2SD part...

The reason why i asked about Clockwork recovery is because Mik's instruction on updating the newest google apps is via clockwork, is there a way to do it via amon_ra thunderG?

@nj_gamer Generally people use CWM, and for newbies installing it is most easier, as it can be installed automatically using ROM Manager without any need to adb and all.

So generally dev's over XDA refer to CWM.

or switch to TWRP recovery. flash it using amonra recovery.

Bro... I am also on Amonra...

Do this...

Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache... Then Flash Mik 6.5.8 again and then wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache again...

Reboot device to Android... It will be unstable without GAPPS... mine was also very unstable...

Again enter Recovery. Flash the latest GAPPS update from Amonra itself... -- *goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip

Clear cache and Dalvik cache and reboot to Android again...

That way your phone would become stable. Without GAPPS, it is unstable... Also, don't forget to flash Franco's latest kernel or fserve's spinoff of it...

All the best...

Cheers!

always use nandroid backup or at least use titanium backup.

about the stuck in CM logo, read this:
If you get bootloop or stuck at LG logo do next:
Sometimes Recovery can't format /system so you need to clear /system manually. You can do it with this zip (flash as always in recovery), or in mounts menu (clockworkmod recovery only), or with adb:
1. Mount /system in recovery.
2. adb shell rm -rf /system/*
You get 1 error. This is ok.

but even i have faced same problem before (don't remember which version it was, etc) but flashing the patch didn't help.
