Backing up Froyo ROMS - Captivate General

I've searched this topic without success so I'm sorry if this has already been answered.
Im running the leaked ji6 and want to try dg's aosp rom. I really like my current setup and want to back up my ROM in case I want to go back. I have never tried to create a backup using rom manager when running 2.1 so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but I'm not able to create a backup. Does rom manager work with 2.2?

Edits made, gotta prep my phone (running MIUI at the moment, need to disable lagfix, etc...) I'll get it uploaded once I confirm everything works the way it should!
EDIT: Tested 3G (market, phone calls, downloaded a couple apps...) so far everything seems to be working PERFECTLY. Uploading now, will make new post with link when it's done.
HERE is the "ported" Fascinate community rom. Enjoy!
EDIT: after running for a few hours, the phone has froze at the lock screen a couple times. Both with usb connected. Not sure what might cause that, but otherwise this rom seems to work great.
Thanks will give try
I have been running this for about a day "as is" for fascinate. Tue only prob im having is that texting doesn't work. That's it. Im on ec10 radio btw.
I want to also add I have lagfix enabled.
So the download u posted is already edited for the mes? You kick jazz. I was going to edit it myself this evening.

It is my understanding, that u need to flash the ec01 radio. This has solved the same problem others have had in this area. As long as u are on a fascinate rom.

Ya id agree. Will do so when I get home tonight.
Is it required to revert back entirely to stock before flashing the radio? Or is just the stock kernal ok?

I am already running EC01 radio, with this community_rom_final-MESMERIZE.zip file I should be able to just flash it....correct?
I did not see in the original post on the Fascinate forum what was working and what was not working...any information?

Yep. Wipe dalvik/cache/ data got best results though

Thanks, flashing now from SC 2.9.2.
Edit: Everything working so far, just setting things up...great ROM so far, I will report back.
Yes, you really should be running the ec01 radio for this rom (or any other fascinate rom for that matter). The zip I linked you to previously is for v1 of this rom, and it already has the necessary edits to run on the mesmerize.
The fascinate devs have released a patch to v1.1, I took the liberty of editing it and uploading it. So, without further ado, here it is. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OM06DBRH
Feel free to ask any questions, ill do what I can to help (im not a developer by any means)
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Cool, any data wipes needed for this flash?
Edit: Wiped dalvik and flashed...no issues. This ROM is fast without modifying anything in Voltage Control....more to come.
Great work guys! Thanks for filling this request!
so this rom is replacing the super clean rom? I'm not around regularly and not really sure. I'm having issues with the PnP right now and wanted to try something else. what is all in this rom? I'm on the EC10 radio so this probably wont work, right?
I just want something simple and works.
from what others have said, it will work on the EC10 radio, but mms/sms and maybe some other wireless services won't work properly if at all. I'm not a dev, so I don't really know the mechanics of how or why it has to run on the EC01 radio (aside from the simple fact that a fascinate rom needs to be paired with a fascinate radio).
And yes, I would strongly suggest a full wipe, but I think that depends also on what rom you're coming from. I switched to this rom from the MIUI, which is purely AOSP and then some... nothing touchwiz whatsoever. So I wiped everything. All of the ZIP files I've uploaded are to be flashed through Clockworkmod Recovery, aka "red recovery".
BTW, I've seen in various situations a lot of people have had issues restoring Titanium Backup apps & data, as well as other items. I personally use MyBackup Root, it works quite well (I used it to restore all my apps and data from MIUI).
I don't know if this rom is officially replacing the superclean rom, but it essentially has. All of the fascinate devs have washed their hands of the superclean rom, and this one is a big group-effort. Take it as you wish.

[Q] DSP Manager on G2x?

Yes, i know what the search button is, sucks on ALL forums, including this one.
With that said, is the a flashable DSPManager.zip made for the G2x? because I fell in love with stock 2.3.3 but love DSPManager for the bass boost on my old Aria
Anyone have it or a link? because the one i flashed on my sensation won't work on my g2x :/
Yes, it works on any 2.3.3+ rom. Will not engage on Froyo roms. You can pull it from cm7 or any other rom that includes it. I've seen links flying around for it in some threads and yes a search should find it for you. Start in themes and apps or development.
Thank you! By the way it gives me "Status 0" error when I flash the dspmanager.zip through clockworkmod..

By the way, stock 2.3.3 through the LG Updater.

Don't know, the way I have it is I used Titanium to back it up from a 2.3.4 rom and then when I went to 2.3.3 I just restored it and it works.
Xboarder posted a zip here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15935476&postcount=91
You might try getting it from EB2.3.3 since it's stock in the rom.
As a last resort you can install EB2.3.3 and then use titanium to back it up and then install a new rom and restore.
It installed, but the EQ makes it sound weird and the bass boost doesnt boost
Anyway i can rip it from Trigger and work like it did when i had Trigger flashed?

[Req] flashable eh09 themes for stock ROM

Title says it. On eh09 ROM want to find flashable themes or links to them. Anyone know of any?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Wont be able too. Sorry. The ROM generally has be deodexed in order for a theme to work. Stock ROMs aren't in a state that can be themed. If you want to have a theme I would suggest finding a stock deodexed ROM that has themes for it.
This is based on how things have always been. To the best of my knowledge it is still the case.
You've been a lot of help man. I'm super3devo from rootzwiki. I've had problems on other tons with my radio not being recognized. I found a version from.August of cm7 fixed for eh09. I'm worried of I flash it I may lose radio again. Currently I'm on stock eh09 rooted per your flashable zip that u linked to in another thread. Then I have red cwm. I have a decent voodoo kernel that's been good on battery. Just trying to talk myself into flashing cm7. Question though if I flash cm7 and things go bad can I restore a nandroid of eh09 or will the ext4 conversion break that? Leaving me with a need for a full odin repartition and flash back to eh09?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Well the CM7 for EH09 works just fine. And honestly its not too much different than the CM7.1 as far as features go. But if you want to stay on something that is fully functional try out Resurrection or Awesome Sauce. Both are Touchwiz based and have everything working. I personally love the resurrection ROM and would be running it now if I didn't like CM7 so much.
---------- Post added at 04:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:00 AM ----------
Also anytime you flash any sort of MTD ROM you generally have to Odin back to stock. What I would do is make a backup of you're current ROM. Then if you want to go back Odin back to DI14 with repartition checked. Then Odin EH09 without repartition checked. Then you could restore your backup.
Are u thinking like me that any ROM dependant on the eh09 radio would work?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Yeah. I don't see a reason why it wouldn't since that's the radio you have the best luck with.
Currently downloading eh09 heinz57. The one with tw4.5 and all that. Then ill use tks kernel. Wish me luck LOL. Hope I don't kill the radio again, ill have to wait till tomorrow when I have a chance to get to a computer with odin and all my files on it. Hopeing it goes well and works.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
well no matter what rom u flash you'll have to flash the EH09 update first to get the newest radio and boot, but once u do that the sky is the limit...I used to use heinz57 and liked it a lot but a couple months i switched to using MIUI and haven't looked back since...if you like the speed of cm but want some of the mods like heinz has u should head on over to www.miui.us and check it out, i can't say enough good things about it.

[Q] Help! PLease!

I rooted my skyrocket and flashed CM7 Alpha Version 3 ROM.
I wasn't able to receive calls, or txt messages.
Also, does anyone know if I can uninstall ADW.Launcher From CM7? I want a pure google based ROM. I like Pure google, but dont wanna slap down the price for a unlocked nexus...
Can anyone guide me in the right direction?
Flash the new version alpha 4 with da_g new cm7 v4 kernel and that should solve your problem
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I had to flash DaG's kernel even with the latest update to CM7. My WiFi wasn't working before I did.
You will also need to restore backed up APN settings for data and LTE to work. I tried entering them manually (as outlined in the OP for the ROM) and it didn't work.
There isn't a vanilla Android ROM for this phone yet, at least not to my knowledge. You could try making one I suppose, but that is no easy task (nor is it risk-free!).
Good luck!

[Q] Does pre-installed Swype APK work on CM7/9 ROMS?

I'm just asking because since rooting and trying out CM7 and EB 2.3.7 last fall I have been using the Swype beta as mentioned.
Now that I've learned a bit more about how these devices and their ROMS work, I was just curious if anyone knows if the preinstalled Swype will work on a CM7-based ROM.
The reason I ask is that I'm getting sick of the bar for word suggestions in the Swype beta always staying there even after you've selected a word. I have all word-suggestion related settings disabled but it doesn't go away and the original version didn't leave it up.
Guess worst-case I could just use Titanium backup to backup and delete the beta, then pull the original version off my first backup of the OTA 2.3.3 update ROM and install it on EB 2.3.7 right?
not sure if the original will work but ive been using swype from here.. V5 beta not for galaxy nexus... some pretty cool ones and ive had no problems with it.

Theres a swipe restore apk out there that will install the original Swipe as long as you have your original backup on your phone

Yes, you just need the original .apk and the libSwypeCore.so file
