Guys I have the samsung galaxy fit. I am new to rooting. And for installing roms I tried rom manager. When I clicked on flash clockworkmod on the top, it asked me to select my phone. My phone was not in that list. What do I do now?? Is there any custom way to do it??

Don't use ROM manager.. it'll brick your phone.
For flashing.. use "FITDroid" ROM vishwanath ptl.
Have any of you guys used it?? I just want to make sure that nothing goes wrong. If possible can anyone make a video on the full procedure so that it will be easier for others?? Thank you.

Is there any problem with frequent flashing of roms?
I mean,does switching from one rom to another every week or in a weekly manner cause any damage to the phone ?

I flashed roms more than 100 times and no problems till now
since it's noob questions about roms i have a couple of doubts that's been stopping me from trying Creed 3.3
after flashing the new rom i have to reinstall and reconfigure all the apps right?
do i have to manually remove the one installed on the sd card?
can i create a backup image to restore the phone as it is now?
thanks in advance if someone will answer these silly questions

Yes you should backup all your apps before a new rom. For that you should use titanium backup application(keep the apk file of it app in ur sd card). Backup all your apps using the batch backup option in the app. Then after installing new rom just install titanium backup app and restore all your apps. And about contacts,copy all your contacts to sim.
nice thanks!
didn't know i could restore the apps on a different rom
now i'll try to find a way to do a complete backup of gingerbread to restore in case i want to revert to the original rom
You can backup entire gb stock rom, as an "image", using pratyush's modded version of cwm5...

No problem at all....
Also i flashed roms thrice a day....not to worry much....just flash it....

Hi, recently I've installed a rom,
and now I have 2.5 gb less than before in the sd-card.
When I install a rom, where does it put it ?
I have less space now and it's bothered me :X
(I removed the zip file of the rom from the sd-card).
Ohh and I installed TWRP, but replaced it with CWM. Maybe the TWRP is still on my sd-card and take space?
Was gona tell u how to do it but just saw ur name so am not telling u annoy many people on this forum one big person troxx

If i'm not mistaken, there should be a CWM recovery to resize your cache partition. Of course, your device should be rooted.

Could be your nandroid backup. Or just repartition through recovery. Make sure to backup first.

you SHOULD know that when you are using cwm recovery, you are tamping with your device, and if it goes wrong it could or could not be fixed.
read the forum for instructions, or just google it

I think that the rom took more space, because it has some more stuff than the stock rom
I'm on leeedroid v2.1 and didn't loose any space from when I was on stock strange.... Try leedroids Rom when he gets the update

@LalyGirl, The ROM should be in the system partition. If you have Titanium backup it should tell you the break down of of internal storage, sdcard ect..
or get "Quick System Info" app.
As for recovery, if you flashed CWM it is written to the recovery partition so it will overwrite the TWRP you had.

Before I start I would like to thank you in advance for dedicating your time to help me here (assuming that you did).I couldn't find the answers on the forums even though I searched.
1. Is there any way to backup my 2.2.1 froyo rom along with the kernel and baseband and EVERYTHING to make sure that if I take it back for repairs they can't accuse me of anything?
2. I have P500H and not the normal P500 mentioned in these forums, is there any risk of brick by flashing another rom designed for P500? And if it does work, will all of my cellular connectivity (RIL, calls, sms, 3G) keep working?

Having used Odin and kdz I can say that KDZ is *RISKY*
It is maybe equivalent to Odin by the reference to the work they both do

Don't use ROM manager on LGp500

I don't like *any* of the Jenkins builds as they are pathetically slow for me even on fresh installations
According to me you should either try Oxygen ICS or Rashed97's CM10
Remember the above ROMs are of my personal preference
And if you are inclined to use Jenkins build *try* them

Do remember trimming the ROM before flashing gapps and then thanking my post otherwise you may get possible bootloop
And flash the oldBB fix after flashing the ROM (search it)
