ROM Manager

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....

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?

What is all this?!?! HELP PLEASE

Hi,
This is my first ever Samsung phone, and let me just say. It very different from HTC.
-infact this isnt even my phone, its my mom's. And its laggy like crazy.
Could you guys explain some things to me,
- voodoo
- "red" cwm
- modems (im guessing radios)
- ODIN
Or even better if you guys can just walk me through on how to flash this one certain rom link
I know i sound like a noob, and i agree that i am in terms of Samsung phones.
THe phone is already rooted, and its running Stock + Root
So could you guys please help me, T_Mobile wont, but i know the helpful XDA community will.
Thanks Sooo Much in Advance!!!

Follow the link above to get cwm final. Make sure you push the files to the correct spot as mentioned in the post. After that just download icbinb and flash through cwm. Before your flash make sure your mounts are like so
Unmount cache
Mount data
Mount sdcard
Unmount system
This is how the mounts should look before you flash and before rebooting after the flash. Hope this helps ya and good luck

With cwm final (orange cwm) there is no voodoo. But once you install the Bali kernel cwm will turn red and give you another option which is voodoo. Know to dissable voodoo you just need to navigate to voodoo once in cwm(red) and make sure it is dissabled. Youll see what everyone is talking about once you get a rom with Bali kernel or just flash Bali kernel with any froyo ROM.

I appreciate all your help.
Ive tried this multiple times with multiple sd cards. Not making a difference. I will look into to this issue still.
Till then im just stuck on stock........
I dont really like Samsung anymore. This was soo much easier on HTC phones, no ODIN, no Voodoo, none of that stuff.......

im going to odin one more time, see if that helps
EDIT: Seems like it worked didnt give me any issues this time!!!!!
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH.
im going to hunt down all of your posts and "Thank" them all
But first let me let it reboot

Glad you got it. And just to give you the heads up it is rumored that kd1 has a bad system partition and has caused issues with other user myself included. I personally cant say that it is or if its just ghost in the machines but somtimes it ok and somtimes not. So I would recommend grabing the kc1 stock for Odin if you havent already.
Also if you plan on sticking with the sgs4g I would recommend checking out the sgs4g Bible in the developers section of our forum. I appreciate the thanks and happy modding

[ROM][EL30][MTD] Stock MTD+Root+Deodexed

This is just in case anyone wants a totally Stock EL30 on MTD, or if you are already on MTD and would like to see what's new but don't want to ODIN back. This is identical to the Stock+Root+Deodexed ROM I posted yesterday, except for including ShadowKernel-EL30-MTD-v3.0. Sorry, but I didn't feel like compiling a Stock MTD kernel (but I did need to test mine ).
- Auto converts you to MTD/yaffs2 if you are not already there.
- Does not wipe data if flashing from an MTD ROM.
- If you flashed before updating your modem, see this thread to avoid having to ODIN back.
EL30-MTD-Stock-Root-Deodexed.zip

yess thanks going to test it out in the morning thanks man.

You need to mount /system in CWM before you flash the hotspot.

Just flashed working great except it did wipe my data. op says it does not. Not a big deal. I have backup.

I'm on cm7
If I made a backup
Then flashed this and updated my prl
Then restored my cm7
Would that work?? Would I still have the updated prl or would it b back to what I currently have???
I know there is another flash that puts cm7 on my sd card but that seems like a very long process to untar the file and go thru the whole thing lol

You're right, I'm sorry. If you flash from a BML ROM, then it will wipe data when it converts to MTD. Otherwise, if you are already on an MTD ROM, it should not wipe data.

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.

[Q] WiFi on Genesis BETA8

I've been actively following Mr. Apocalypse with his Genesis ROM. It's masterfully done and full of great features. As I understand its still in beta, however, the WiFi worked on BETA7 and not on BETA8. Has anybody else had this issue?
EDIT: After some time of trying to connect, it gives me a "Avoided poor Internet connection" under the SSID I'm trying to connect to.

Need to tell us what you have done. Installed a custom kernel wipe or no wipe? Could've posted this in the rom section by the way, should be there in the first place.... unless your post count is to low I can't tell since I'm on my phone. If it is I apologize in advance.

Its cool man. Yeah, I'm a first time poster but long time reader. I installed Genesis BETA8 following the instructions on the page, full wipe and everything. However, I did try to use Harshs' kernel and that seems to be the problem. I wiped and reinstalled using the stock kernel and everything works like it should. I'm just wondering how some people have no issues with the kernel and I do.
Sent from my LG p999 from RIGHT BEHIND YOU!

Ya I installed it to see if I would come across the issue with stock kernel and I've nothing of the sort. Glad you got it though. Try installing a different kernel (same one maybe older though) and see if you have the issue.

With Genesis, you might have to flash Harsh kernel after and separate from the Aroma installation. If that was the only thing you've done differently, after installing stock kernel, just flash Harsh after.
