Im scared to flash a new rom

i have the google ion and im quite happy with its stock rom but all the roms you guys have out here look oh so tempting. So here are my questions
1. Can i back up my google ion rom?
2. Does the ion already have root?
3. If i cant back it up, is there an official stock rom that i can use?
thanks guys

oh man
i should leave it as it is ... i mean... don´t do anything

why ????????????
why ???????????? are you telling him to leave it ?
Look if your going to do it you will do it dont worry about messing your deviice up it makes you learn how to fix it , i came from htc elf to magic and know nothing about the magics spl roms etc and i knew i would make a mistake somewere along the line which is fine and good as im forced to learn on how to fix it .
Sure enough i flashed it and it got stuck on 2nd boot but after playing and playing i fixed it and understand a lot more about my device so dont be scared mate learn . !!! you have support here just ask and you will be helped asap . enjoy learning happy flashing !

I also have a Google Ion and I have tried at least 3 different ROM's. I currently use the custom Ion ROM.
1. Yes you can backup your current ROM/images using Nandroid.
2. No it does not have root
3. I don't know for sure.

thanks man i appreciate the support so i went ahead and flashed the hero rom optimized ..and man the rosie was ..pretty..but laggy..so i disable the rosie ui and went back to the original everything was good but the internet browser was awful..it lagged and i cant zoom..but the htc camera is a god send..the original was awful in low lighting..this one its great..but thanks guys for replying

I almost did the same thing as you
Got my Magic last week,.. couldn't stand the vodafone splash, wanted to change it (but was a bit scared..)
After 2,3 days on a weekend, I rooted my Magic and started to experiment with ROMs. I tested Hero (also found it too laggy even after "tweak"), Rogers G2 and now nk02's ION. I also changed the splash screen so now I am kind of happy with my Magic..
But i must addmit (after seeing those cool Hero shots) I wish there would be a fast, nice and clean Hero rom (i dont need Rosie, i would just like calendar, contacts, dialer, camera,..) I have a feeling it might come soon ,,

try this rom;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524229
It has the new camera & dialer... not calendar or contacts though. Also has a few other things too.
I've tried most now, and for me this is the best so far, for me anyway.

New xperia x10i owner, some questions...

Hello guys^^ I have used iphone for 3 years, but yesterday I bought a sony xperia x10i. It has installed the version 1.6 of android. Now, I want to install an unofficial rom (for froyo or gingerbread) but I do not know what have I to do...
How do I install app2sd?
How do I install custom themes? Can you post me some basilar tutorials, please ?

Nothing ?

There's a lot. This link should help to point you in the right direction.
I'd recommended upgrading to the latest 2.1 first, root it with the software in the X10 forum, and then you can install xrecovery and have your pick of rom you would like to run. most of them still have issues with camera but there are a couple that are based on 2.1 that have everything working well. I think dualtouch (came out yesterday) has been incorporated, if not, there are a couple tutotorials to get dualtouch on your os.

The official GB HTC ROM still needs some work it seems on drivers side.
Let us hope for the further DHD GB leaks from HTC

Very Stable ROM. I have been using your ROMs from my HD2 times, always liked them. This one after 24 hours of usage is running very stable and fast. Thanks Kumar

Hello, "skr_xd" I was looking in forums and find out Kumar's Android ROM nice to see you here I used your WM ROM's.
My story is pretty the same as yours I also was WM user and ROM tester and I had HD2 (just for 4 months) but when I started to use Android on it I understand that I need better phone so here we meet again. Both with same device.
I wish you good luck to create ROM's for DHD and I'm also new to Android ROM's so if you wold like to work together with me please PM me. Maybe we can make something interesting together.

Noob to O3D needing help please

Hi all. I've got my O3D coming tomorrow and want to root it and install a different rom but not sure what to go for. I've had a look around and I'm interested in the ThiaiZO3D rom along with the v6 supercharger. I've currently got a hannspree hannspad tablet which I've modded with CWM and custom rom so I'm familiar with android and Modding. My current phone at the moment is the Nokia N900 which I've also modded. Ive also had a play with my mate O3D and loved it which is the reason i bought one. Here's a few questions I would like answering please.
1) what rom is best in terms of reliability, fast and responsive?
2) will installing the tegra software work fine with a custom rom like ThiaiZO3D for example?
3) is the camera mod in the development section worth installing, also is it installed via CWM?
That's all for now.
Thank you very much. Ashley.

I think the Thiai Rom is currently good choise but.i try to test king 3d. He release v2.2 this week and i think its a great alternately to Thiai Rom.
Sorry for bad English
send from 3rd Dimension with LG Optimus 3D

1) Think ThiaiZ with V6 is the way to go. If you want to have new kernel go for Koala or King. But for me it seems ThiaiZ stock runs smoother.
2) Sorry didn't try
3) Yes and yes. Look the amazing comparison pics in its thread.

I just installed ThiaiZ yesterday and also used the v6 script but cant actually notice any difference. Swiping between screens has a little 'judder' as it scrolls, I haven't actually tried any games but overall performance seems the same.
I haven't had the phone crash yet like I did on the stock ROM; but time will tell.

seems like thaiz rom, is one of the most stable one in this forum since it is stock based. But im not upgrading to 1.5.3 anytime soon, cuz i love my stock browser too much . i think it gets the job done, simple and easy to use. might upgrade if thaiz decided to put the browser in again

[Q] Samsung galaxy s i9000 noob asking

Hello xda forum! I am new and totally NOOB! I recently bought a galaxy s i9000 from a little research in the forum I decided that I have to root it because I am already having a lot of problems.. I am having now the original firmware from samsung(updated via kies) and I am in version 2.3.3 (basebend version I9000XXJVO and kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVI-CL210427 [email protected] #2 ...I have no idea what are those things!!! and build number GINGERBREAD.XWJVI) I want to root it on Ice cream sandwich! It look so cool and fast. but I have no idea how and which rom to choose because I saw 3-4 different in the forum.
So...
1. I want to learn how to root and what do I need.
2. I want your opinions on the ics roms (suggest me whats the best)
3. Is everyone have the same problem with the battery!?
4. If I done this and then I want to take the rom out is it possible?
I really thanks you for your time! and sorry if I created a same post..
more info about my phone (found them with a code):
GT-i9000HKDEUR
PDA I9000XWJVI
PHONE I9000 XXJVO
CSC I9000 XXJV9
Thanks again for everything!!!

1)To root your Galaxy S you can use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 quick and easy.
2) I personally have not used the ICS roms for SGS but this one seems to be the most stable one around http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398223
3) Battery issues plagued me when I got my SGS as well, I would suggest getting something like Juice Defender off the market it can greatly help out battery life
4) Yes it is possible to go back to stock firmware all you need to do is flash back the stock firmware which you can find through Google.

1)to root my galaxy I used a modded kernel like cf root or semaphore which give you the root permissions and cwm
2)i never tried a ics rom because i'll try one of them when they will become stable, i don't like beta/alpha roms
3)battery isn't very very good...i can arrive till 8 pm normally, but if i start playing, wifi, music...in 4 hours battery is ko
4)yes if you want to take the rom out, you can flash a stock firmware/rom
hope it helps
then tell me how it has gone

thanks guys for your answers..I will think about doing it..and if I have any other question I will ask you...really thanks from your help

I use and still testing the stock ICS and i have to say that you MUST not install it in my experience so far in a week it have some issues. I am a noob too but learning, and this is a very versatil phone to use and manage. Meanwhile i sugest to upgrade to oldEr versions of GINGERBREAD
