[Guide] [Share] Flash any rom without flashing stock

Well I see every developer in his roms thread advises that it is preferable to flash his custom rom on stock rom to avoid bootloops due to different kernels cos that causes bootloop in most cases
And this guide includes format system so your boot. Img will be formatted and would avoid bootloop
So here is a procedure to install roms like that without flashing stock rom via odin
Disclaimer: Dont blame me if u get bootloop if u don't follow the steps correctly and if u follow correctly and get a bootloop flash stock via odin which u won't get most probably
(Confirmed working I flashed simplicity v5 on v4 and see if it works for u)

Nice
But
lol
What's the difference in it?
It's the same method we all use to flash ROMs

I guess the difference is that we clear data and cache via stock

And format system too
So we can flash roms having different kernels cos that causes bootloop in most cases
And I did get a bootloop while flashing v5 on v4 using this
So I think you all can try using the same procedure and flash custom roms

Instant wipe data is not needed. Only once in cwm wipe data is needed. Wipe data wipes the cache too. So no need of instant wipe data/cache and format data/cache

formating data cash and system is needed if u have a custom rom with a different kernel ... many roms have extra stuff like tweaked status bar (not just modded) ... so when u flash a rom normally they may chash (if stock is not flashed...) so the every step in the procedure ive given is important and needs to be followed in the exact order..
and op
i aked u to just give the purpose and link to my thread if u wanted to share and not copy paste the whole thing

The keyboard doesn't work on V20D, I flashed it through CWM and it says it flashed but when I go back into my phone there is no difference.
I formatted cache and dalvik cache before flashing the keyboard.
Same thing with the clock.

Do you mount system before flashing?

No but it doesn't matter right?
Because the flashing process do it automatically, otherwise the ROM shouldn't work.

If you have TWRP: select Wipe then Advanced Wipe, tick Dalvik Cache, System, Cache and Data then wipe.
Install the rom and enjoy!
*the first boot will take a while just be patient

If you have the C6603/C6606 model download this file https://mega.co.nz/#!bIIDHJrB!Fk1iBgtMnmprlQNT2CP6YQcTdQc845spF0UfVsInYGc (15.2 MB) and drop it into your Flashtool firmwares folder on your PC

Mine is usually fast (like 40Mbps), but I can't download it in order to upload it.
By the way, good work, I know you didn't throw in mods, or make your own, but that's what I like, completely stock, but de-odexed so we can choose what stuff to add ourselves.
Kinda-ish like my ROM, before I discontinued it (My laptop broke, and I didn't have anything else).

Could you make the recovery a separate flash? As some people like to use DooMKernel or other kernels, as opposed to this "built-in" recovery. Also, this uses TWRP; a lot of people don't like that.

Android is upgrading- Optimizing apps x of x

After upgrading to Harsh Jelly 5.2 I odexed it. Now each time I reboot this upgrading and optimization happens. It takes a long time to boot up.
I did a fresh install doing factory reset etc.
When I ran odex command I disabled zipalign options.
Anyone experienced such issues? Plz share your thoughts.
Edit - In each reboot dalvik cache is being cleared. That's why it is happening.

Did you do what I told you to try before?
And you should ask creator of that reodexing script what you should do maybe.

For those who have problems with odexing rom. Do a clean install of HarshJelly 5.2 then download the odexer tool from here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390162
Tip: Download UOS_V642_ARMEABI.zip for ARM devices like S Advance.
Flash it via recovery, reboot phone, open terminal emulator and type:
su
dexo -all
Wait until odex in done (apps will force close). When odex done reboot. If phone freezes after reboot, reboot again. For me is working, rom is odexed and smooth. No Android is upgrading message on boot.
Sorry for my bad english.
