I think samsung should really decide and say whether they want us to upgrade our handsets via Kies or via Odin !! We are getting a new firmware almost every month to use with Odin rather than Kies which offers a new firmware once in 6 or even more months...I come from SII and i was begging Kies to give me a new firmware :p
Odin wasn't meant for consumers. It's their internal tool
As for firmwares, they're usually released based on region and these are not "official" if your device isn't from the intended target

schaggo mentioned that he restored his data partition with nandroid after flashing this wipe ROM and it's working fine for him.
I was about to bring this up again, people don't seem to read through threads at all. Do nandroid backup, flash, restore nandroid data partition. done. It's working well since well, when did I flash? Too long ago, thats for sure :D

does the ever root option work on LA1 kernel?
Yes, this one works always, on any ROM to come (in the near future).

you need to flash a cfroot kernel
Or any other custom kernel for that matter. AbyssNote as well as FM also include the custom recovery.

I tried that, but at Nandroid restore i get a message saying "something mismatch", i cant remeber well the wording of that message, but it did'nt work. I had to use mybackup which is not a clean restore solution.

Please explain how you manage to restore with Nandroid your datas from old to LA1 ROM? Which CWM version?

I lost about that, what do u mean?
When I change the LCD density to for example 160 within KL7 and KL8 then when opening the dialer to dial the number to make a phone call it will Force Close
This problem was not with the KK9 whatever the density of the LCD is

Had the MD5 mismatch problem when trying to restore from CWM recovery, then I used CWM App and it worked fine...

Since installing LA1 (and restoring "data" through CWM app, I know, not good!) I have lost Picasa integration in Gallery, I tried clearing Data for the app, but it still only sees internal pics...any idea to make it work again please? Thanks.

Unfortunatey I can't help u, never done a density changement (I won't even know how to)


---------------------------------------------------------------------

Given that I already flashed LA1 with mobile odin but using the CF-root kernel of the KL7 (because LA1's was missing at the time), can I now simply flash the CF-root kernel of the LA1 via mobile odin? If yes, will it trigger a full wipe (or is it recommended)?
