Sorry if I'm being harsh here, but judging by your post count, you've been posting around on XDA for a while. Do you not know how to search? There's plenty of threads out there.

If you used Odin and flashed a kernel that has cwm then yes you can flash from that cwm recovery.
Check the development section for drhonks kernels thread and odin KJ1 with Voodoo and CWM. Its rooted, and will have CWM for you.
As for which ROM is best...
No.
Its pretty much impossible to answer that question. We have a few really good ROMs and its all personal preference. I would personally suggest trying out SimplySimple, INCINB, Octane or Valhalla.
Its a toss up, theyre all great.

Where can I find a Backup ?

Hi there,
I received my Sensation a week ago and I rooted it + S Off.
I now that it avoids the warranty and I'd like to know If i had to go to TMobile or use my Warranty, how to put back the Stock Rom ? With Tmobile BootLogo etc.. ?
Thanks for help
By restoring your nandroid backup thru recovery! This is something you should have researched before even rooting your device. Suprised you didn't brick your device! Did you even create a backup of your stock ROM before you flashed a custom ROM?

Well you can flash the stock ruu...and if need be u can get s-on per same guide u got s-off...so i suggest u make that dev section ur best friend, all the threads and guides u need r there
Edit: oh yeah, as dude above said, u can also just restore the nand before u got root

Do you know where I can find it ? The Stock Tmobile Rom ?
How the hell did u not do a backup, seems ur new to this kinda stuff and that guide specifically said u to back up before doin perm root and all that. Bt like I said, go to the dev section and look for the stock roms thread, and READ READ READ

What is this rom manager you speak of? I've never heard of a working rom manager for this device. Does rom manager work? Perhaps the answer is posted here somewhere?

No. Not yet.

For GB, just flash (oden/heimdall/heimdall one-click) any gb kernel in the dev forum and you should get CWM (unless the kernel is a fully stock kernel, like the first one in my one-click collection).
A little lecture could help you. This has been answered like 100 times a day.
Use latestodin, flash ravers kj6 odin rom (yes, you have to be in dl mode and rom file goes in pda and i think you need to decompress the .zip file so u use the .tar) and after that just flash drhonk kj1 kernel so you can get root and cwm. Then you can flash gb roms without problem.
Theres a big post saying that Rom Manaher doesnt work wotj raver.
actualy rom manager has a Galaxy s 4G setting now so yes it does work

Actually when i got Rom Manager i had a setting for Galaxy S 4G so im guessing the answer is yes.

No. "NO" means "no".
If you don't believe me. Go ahead. Flash it, then wonder why you can't flash anything from it or do anything with it.
Everyone who has told you that it doesn't work is trying to save you time and headache.

Also, tehgyb gave you all the good links (thanks man!)
Instead of insisting on using rom mangler, you should listen and read.
If all you want is clockwork mod + root + gb, just heimdall one-click my kj6 kernel and stock rom... The link that says: Download SMS KJ6 Kernel Stock Rom with Bootloaders
After you run that, you can flash roms with CWM (not rom manager) as you wish, and you will always have root with that kernel.
It doesnt work man..

How were you flashing?
Did you see any errors?
Did you read the OP?

I think he meant that ROM Manager doesn't work.
I don't get why people don't read stickies around here. I guess it's second nature if you've been on other forums before, but it's still no excuse. -.-

t989 to skyrocket conversion

Just wondering....if anyone is using this. Can u flash a att kernel after u flash the conversion. The stock kernel stinks. Slow. no BLN support. Thanks
Udon't really need that conversion kit. Just flash the t989 rom u want in cwm and flash the kernel u like best right after, then reboot. faux 010m is my favourite, then reboot. As a precaution though, make sure you read all the threads kn flashing in the dev section before u brick ur phone
The kit merely contains a stock at&t SR /boot and a gps.conf file. Nothing special.

Might b a stupid question but is there any way to flash a 989 rom and use the kernel with it instead of flashing a 727 kernel? Or is that brick city? Kernels always scared me
Shouldn't brick but you will have unique screen orientation till you flash a kernel that's made for your device like what was just linked on the page before this

Already did. Its OK. Flashed beastmod ex 5.0. Not as fast as it probably should b because of the difference in kernel. Was just curious what would happen if I tried to run it the way it comes. Thanks
Yeah, beastmod looks nice, but u be able to get LTE, or even 4g, without a t989 radio

If you are already flashing things in CWM, flashing a kernel is cake, like my name says. Just honestly, flash the ROM, wipe the caches, flash the kernel and do a jig. If anything goes wrong you'll still be able to boot back into CWM and re-flash something else. As long as you aren't using ODIN to flash a boot / kernel you have nothing to worry about.

ROM] SKYICS 4.2E-17(ULCE2) 6/18/12 Help

I just have a quick question. Im on rogers and I was wondering which radio would I flash(uxfl3 im assuming)? And the add-ons, would i flash them through odin like i would a recovery tar? And would that radio work on all roms? I aslo flashed a recovery file to return to stock GB but it was by this guy k0nan or something but i heard it trips a flash counter or something. What does that do and there is this thing called flashcounter reset.zip or something and would i flash that like an add on or something?

once u know what ur r doing and r stumped at a certain problem, believe me we can tell by how u post a question, post in the q&a forum
this post is just a copy paste from another post i wrote to a n00b

No once you have recovery.
I have never "rooted" my phone. Just flash a recovery and flash away. (yes I know the custom roms come with root, thats how I root samsung phones)
