How to update from a previous version of ICS333:
- Flash ICS333-2.0.1-signed.zip in CWM Recovery, without making any kind of wipe
- Flash the GAPPS
- Reboot. If you have followed these instructions, you won't have lost any data.
- If you notice, after updating, that your media (photos, music, videos...) appears twice in Music and Gallery apps, just clear "Media Storage" data (Settings -> Apps -> All -> Media Storage -> Clear data) and reboot. Then, just wait a long while (it can take even 1 hour depending on the amount of media files you have in your phone).
- Always check your IMEI after flashing. If it starts with 0049, you have lost your IMEI. If that's your case, read the installation guide for further instructions.
**************************************************************************************************
Clean Installation (if you come from other ROM)
- Follow the instructions that are available in this post: http://goo.gl/elAJv (big thanks to psyqiq)

FAQ
- I have flashed the ROM and it works OK, but I can't get signal or make/receive calls/sms. What is happening? You have lost your IMEI. You can get your IMEI back recovering your EFS backup (if you made one) or flashing a Gingrebread Stock ROM (look for one with PDA, PHONE and CSC) with Odin.
- I have flashed the ROM and I don't have Play Store. How can I install it? Before flashing, read the instructions! Download the gapps file and flash it.
- Does Facebook sync works? No, because adding Facebook sync breaks Picasa sync. The only responsible for this problem is Facebook. You can use third-party apps such as HaxSync for this purpose.
- Battery is draining fast. What is happening? Before reporting battery problems complete two charging cycles. If you still have battery problems, ask yourself how long should the battery last with your usage (we are not using an old Nokia phone with 1.0" screen) and discard that is caused by an application. And then, if you still have a draining problem, and you don't know the cause, report your problem attaching:
1) Screenshots of every battery statistics
2) BetterBatteryStats dump. You can download BetterBatteryStats in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809. To generate the dump press Menu key -> More -> Dump to File. The dump file will be generated in /sdcard, and its name starts with "BetterBatteryStats".
3) The output of the logcat (the last one better in a private message). In order to get the logcat output, you will have to enable the Logger in the Semaphore app and reboot if you hadn't enabled it before. The logcat starts from scratch each time you reboot or turn on your phone so, wait some hours before sending it.
Remember: just complaining about battery life without providing useful information doesn't help anybody and will not solve your problem. - My music, photos and videos are duplicated in Music and Gallery apps. It usually happens when you flash the ROM without wipe. To fix that, just clear "Media Storage" data (Settings -> Apps -> All -> Media Storage -> Clear data) and reboot. Then, just wait a long while (it can take even 1 hour depending on the amount of media files you have in your phone).
- Suddenly, all apps start throwing FCs. What's happening? Your /datadata partition is full. The best solution is to wipe everything and make a clean install of the ROM. Then, when you have finished installing the ROM, flash one of these fixes: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1541942, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1665742.
- Does FM Radio work? Yes, you can download Spirit FM, but do it at your own risk.
- Does HW acceleration work when playing videos? Yes, but not with stock player. There are video players in the Play Store that support HW acceleration. For instance, Dice Player.
- The LED buttons don't turn on when I have notifications. How can I enable this feature? Download BLN Control from Play Store.
- Can I use other kernels such as Devil or MNICS?Yes, just follow their installation instructions as in any other ICS ROM.
- Can I customize or remove the toggles of the notification bar? No, you can't But maybe you want to publish a MOD for ICS333?
