hey vikram this is the first time I am flashing a ROM, so I hope you don't mind me asking so many questions..
So, other than doing a nandroid backup is there anything else I should do, like factor reset or wiping cache before flashing the ROM...??

Im sure Vikram or anyone else in the forum wont mind answering new questions...
For your specific question about factory reset/ wiping cache - last 5-6 posts will give you more than just an answer.
For your general question on things to do before flashing a new ROM, the golden rule is backup and that should be enough to save you. Any specific instructions will be posted by the dev while posting the new ROM.
On a personal note, after you take your first nandroid backup and flash your first ROM, restore back form your nand backup once, theres no stopping you.. you will do it a million times...

People in this form are very friendly and ready to help, so you can ask whatever the doubts you are having. Coming to your question as “sarun_biotech” told first you need to take the CWM Backup and better store it in PC for future purpose then clear cache and Dalvik cache and install the custom ROM which you are planning to install, if you are planning to install GLX-R make sure that only Auto reboot and F-Rest is checked in ODIN use the .TAR file in PDA section of ODIN.
Go through the steps in the below link before flashing

what abt all the data if I do a factory reset... i have to install them again??
and btw u said its working fine without wiping cache, Dalvik Cache and data on a 2.3.5 rom
I think I'll do the same cos even i am using the 2.3.5 stock
yes, you will lose all your apps and settings when you do a factory reset. You can use any backup app like the titanium backup app to backup and resote all your apps and settings from your current rom.
But as vikram suggested, just try a flash without any reset and see if the apps work fine. you can always do a factory reset any time.
you can directly install ROM with out clearing data, so that your data will be safe including APPS. if you face any problem just clear cache and Dalvik cache.
flashed the ROM guys..!!!
it's so damn smooth and no issues so far...
tried to flash without wiping cache, Dalvik Cache and data but it wouldn't flash and took a long time, so deleted data and wiped the cache after which flashing went smoothly...
now I'll try flashing ardatdat's kernel on this rom.
Once again thanks a ton guys.

If you have rooted your mobile take backup using titanium backup and uninstall those Apps with titanium backup, if you don't want to Root your mobile you can install Go launcher and hide the Apps.

okey okey....
again use titanium backup,
n select apps u dond use n freez them n when u need them just defrost them...
njoy !!
If your purpose is not to waste app space for those very rarely used apps, a very simple method is to put all those in a folder. I do yhis for all the apps that i acces indirecctly thru other shortcuts.

Hi Guys,
I have checked the final build of the "[ROM][I9103][ZCLA1]TheFrankenstain^MOD(Release Coming Soon)" and it works well. The keyboard issue and force close issue(about phone) has been resolved. I know its the wrong place for this post but since I am a new users I don't have access to post replies on the developer thread. Question for Frankenstain : I am not able to add google account so that I can access market please help!. Rest of the things in your MOD just works great!!.
