Hey I was just browsing the market and decided to invest in Rom manager (used it religiously on my old Droid 1). Lo and behold we don't even have a cwm listed!
What needs to be done to have some of these roms I see on this board listed in that App?
Thanks and sorry for the noob question. (We need a Q and A board.)

You really should've looked a little as it's mentioned a billion times, BUT...
Just install CWM for the Galaxy S i9000, works perfect.

Would it be hard to add infuse to the cwm list in rom manager? So that way only infuse Rome would show up for people?

would have to work with Koush on that one. Don't see why not, we just need to get them separated... (Wouldn't be a bad idea seeing that really noobtastic people may pseudobrick their devices and need us to walk them through Odin restoral....)
I'm always one for lack of headaches. Keeps the real devs from having to field noob questions and pseudo-devs like myself with more free time to try and step up to full dev status....

I asked Koush today if he could add it...but he seemed busy with something. After looking at his twitter, I think he's still working on the Optimus series.

You would want to check all 3 if it is your first flash, that way if something goes wrong you have a backup to restore, and the other two need to check because they are cache for your original rom, not the new one.
It's worth doing the backup of your stock setup.
Wiping the data isn't necessary unless you are a stickler about starting "fresh".
Dalvik cache wipe never hurts.

If you are coming from stock, you need to wipe all. It can cause issues, i have seen it. You get lots of force close, stuff that is removed from stock would still be there, which could also cause problems. Its better to do a full wipe when going from stock to a custom rom, and when switching custom roms.
I think I made a mistake, it reboot into recovery and I guess I was to wipe data and cache then reboot into cyanogen rom, but I did not wipe data and cache, Now it froze on me. What can I do, Did I just brick my phone?

I started using the cm7 nightly's today & i'm getting different answers on which to wipe between nightly's. Cache AND Dalvick or just one of them? Some ppl are saying u only have to wipe cache, i've seen just Dalvick & i've seen both. I'd asssume both but don't want to go thru an extra step if it's unnecessary. Thanks alot guys

It really depends on what changed in the nightly. It never hurts to wipe both, but it is usually the case that the system is smart enough to just rebuild odexes for the things that have changed therefore, I'd just go with the cache. I rarely wipe anything between CM7 flashes even many builds apart, but I live on the edge.

I've never used ROM manager so I can't say, but that sounds like the way to go.
I've had bad luck w/ Rom Mgr soft-bricking my phone. I prefer CWM.
Ok, thanks alot guys! I just wanted to make sure & yea, rom manager just doesn't feel as comfortable to me as doing it manually where can see what's going on & abort & restore if i can see something not going right. Mainly i just wanted to know if it was ok to download the rom from rom manager & then do it manually from there. Thanks again fellas :')

you can instal a kernal without formatting. would be smart to clear your cache and davlik cache (won't loose your data doing this)

It's for wiping /system, /data, and /cache. It also converts system back to ext3. It works on Gingerbread also. I don't recommend it. Just manually wipe through CWM Recovery.

Is that ALL it does?
Is that really required?
Have people become so lazy that they need this?
Or am I missing something here?
Before I flash a new ROM, I always (manually through clockworkmod recovery) wipe data, system, cache, dalvik.
Or does this do something else?

Raises hand...
I "wrote" it. Yes, it is really that simple.
The truth is, of course, nothing is done in a vacuum. I was heavily inspired by BackToExt3 for the 2x by PaulOBrien. Of course, the g2x has some differences so it's not the same script, but basically does the same thing.
Yes there are other ways to do the same things, but once you have the script on your sdcard, it's the fastest way to wipe -- even for experienced users.
However, if your file systems were fully converted to ext4 (not just mounted as), and you want to flash to a bone stock rom without ext4 support, this script takes care of all the steps.
I added my thanks because it saves a lot of button pushing and possible errors when doing a lot of rom testing. It sounds like some others had bugs too which scares me. I'm also grateful for not having to do a lot of additional hunting for more info on proper cleaning for the "safest" flash.
So thanks again.

i did this on my infuse gingerbread (rooted) and once downloaded i cannot finish the setup process because email process force close's as soon as its time to use my email. what should i do?
Be sure that you follow the 4 main steps before you flash any ROM or PORT for a good flash:
On CWM (Recovery Mode screen blue or red)
1. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Wipe Cache partition
3. Advanced>Clean dalvik cache
After this steps flash your rom then:
4. Advanced/Fix Permisions.
It works for me all times.
Regards,
How will I flash then if I remove all my data including root. Everything I wipe to factory it goes back to froyo non root. Do I keep recovery for the flashing somehow? And during the whole setup like connecting to Wi-Fi it's clean works goods no lag then email force closes there has to be a reason other than me not wiping to factory.. isn't that the point of these kind of apps.. why download it if I'm gonna spend the next 4hrs trying figure out.... I'm just gonna stop here with root. The rest of it is way!!!!!!! To much lol. You guys have at it tho!!

OK but I bet u get confused and quit lol. OK I'm on gingerbread. 2.3.6 rooted blah blah blah. Lol OK now once I do the infused download threw rom manager I get to the point were it's time to put in my email and it pops up email.process failed to start force close or something to that nature. Anyway after trying this one and Ics I now have a new bootanimation which was the point of the whole deal. Lol it's a suck one but hey!!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Why are you using Rom manager? I've only heard of bricks and problems from people using it...just download a Rom you want from xda, then boot into cwm and flash from cwm recovery by following instructions from the roms thread on xda
You may also just wanna try going back to stock through Odin/heimdal to fix your email problems if you don't wanna flash a Rom
Also what is the ics download your referring to? There are multiple ice roms/ports...you need to be as specific as possible on anything and everything...I always say better more than not enough
Also...just to clarify when you are in cwm and you wipe data/factory resetit only wipes your apps and system data...recovery is in the kernel which is not wiped...so if you follow the instructions of the roms op and do all the wipes then you can still flash
Good luck hope you get it all fixed
PS...bigjoe knows what he's doing as do a lot of us here...I don't think most of us,are gonna get confused and quit...as for me I love solving problems and trouble shooting so I know I won't quit

Lol...ics/ice cream sandwhich is a version of android just like ginger bread is and froyo also is-just wanted to know the name of the Rom...like cm9 or uniporn or miui etc...
But yeah download a Rom from this site and assuming you have cwm recovery boot into it (hold power plus volume up+down, as soon as it turns off and the Samsung logo pops up release the buttons) then wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache, then install from sdcard, locate Rom and flash it.

Just wondering if anyone has fished for a good working wipe script?
I used one left on my SD from flashing an htc glacier (aka mytouch4g).
Ever since using that script before flashing roms everything has been much more.............umm let me put it this way, I'm seeing much less common sgs4g gremlins popping up.

Roms with my AROMA installer will do all your wipes for you, no questions asked. If you do a quick install, or a customized install without a /data backup you'll have a fresh install on a newly wiped phone.
OK, just wondering because I see a lot of other devices where people tell you to use a wipe script or I've even seen some that ask you to wipe all parts 3x in a row and other crazy stuff.
Maybe its just a placebo then
Thanks for the answer fb
