This guide is for both experienced & new users.
If you're coming from a Froyo (Android 2.2) or Gingerbread (2.3) ROM, follow these steps;
Have your phone rooted with CWM
Make a NANDROID backup & Titanium backup & backup anything you need or find important on a PC
Download the latest cm-9-20120702-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd.zip & DarkyROM v11.0 Black Edition [Android 4.0.4 ICS]
Put both ROMs on your INTERNAL SD card
Enter Recovery by switching off the phone, and holding the 3 button combo (VOL UP + Home + POWER)
Once in recovery, flash the latest CM9 (nightly)
As it's trying to flash, it will get into a bootloop - so re-enter recovery (by either holding: VOL UP + HOME + POWER, until it reboots, OR by pulling the battery, then entering it)
Once back in CWM, re-flash CM9 - however this time it will not bootloop, and fully install
Reboot phone
Once the phone has booted into CM9 (give it a good 5mins to boot) - Re-enter recovery, by holding the power button, which will then give you the option to go straight into recovery via the extended power menu on CM9
In CWM Recovery "wipe data / factory reset" and "wipe cache" and in "advanced" wipe dalvik-cache"
Go to "Mounts and storage" and mount all availaible partitions (like /sdcard) -> Don't worry if you can't mount "emmc", it's just the external sd-card
Flash DarkyROM v11.0 Black Edition
Reboot (give it again 5mins to boot)
Enjoy!
If you're coming from any other ICS ROM (or upgrading from DarkyROM v11.0), follow these steps;
Go to the CWM Recovery (Press Volume Up + Home + Power when phone is switched off)
and "wipe cache" and "advanced >> wipe dalvik-cache"
Go to "Mounts and storage" and mount all availaible partitions (like /sdcard)
Don't worry if you can't mount "emmc", it's just the external sd-card
Flash DarkyROM v11.0 Black Edition
Reboot
