Probably a not so smart question, but is this universal (all ginger bread roms)?

It has worked with every Gingerbread ROM I have used on my phone, which is all of them, except for Audiophile series, but it would work no doubt.

You screwed up my marriage and sex life. I hate you. AHAHA.

The fix perms script. I'm assuming that replaces the one in cwm, and is ran from cwm recovery?

Nah its intended to be used via a terminal emulator while the phone is running. Original script is on XDA somewhere.

Stock question

Im currently running tsugi rom. And ive been wondering if i can get stock look on it (basically everything). Is there a flashable cwm zip somewhere? Ive looked for it but i havent found it. If anyone knows, please post link to download or the link to the thread with download link. Thanks .

Either use xborder's stock ROM, or EaglesBlood stock ROM. Both have the stock GB look.

Im asking if i can get the stock look on tsugi.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

I gave you his those two options because there's no way to get the stock look on Tsugi unless you know how to do it yourself, or use the UOT kitchen.

Couldnt i just flash a stock framework-res.apk from either those roms? Or is the g2x more complicated?

You might mess up stuff. Tsugi's framework is different from stock. He added the toggle widgets that you see and probably did other changes as well. So it might be trickier than that. Do you not wanna leave Tsugi?
Because there's other alternatives to the stock ROM.

Id be willing to flash weapon g2x as ive used whitehawks roms on other phones too and they're flawless. But maybe ill try eaglesblood once he updates. Thanks for your help!

The first step comes from googling the topic: how to make custom rom.
have you tried this yet?
there are several hits from google, including youtube vids.
You can also read the older threads in the dev section.
You can also hang out in chat rooms and irc...you're more likely to get more help there.

I have looked at Google and you tube but all I found was for Linux or Mac OS and I haven't seen any older posts that helped

have you broken down a rom yet?

Working on it now actually
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

You have to build in Linux since android is a Unix based system. You can tear apart a stock, or leaked rom in windows and mod it, and/or theme it. But, to straight build a rom, HAS to be done in Linux, ie(Linux mint, Ubuntu) .

Make sure you have USB debugging checked under apps/development, that's one cause for superoneclick freezing if I remember right.

Install the pre-rooted rom listed in the dev section. Really is no use in rooting when Samsung lets use flash the phone with custom roms via odin.

Bhundven's One-Clicks in the Dev section are excellent. All are based on KJ6 and two are already rooted.

Most of the ROMs in the dev section are rooted. What ROM are you currently running?
EDIT: It says above you are on GB 2.3.6. If you are - SuperOneClick V2.3.3 will work. Go to this thread, read the OP - all of it - hell watch the video if you need to, then go here and download the current version. And lastly be patient while it is running.
You can also read this thread for EASY ways to flash kernels once rooted and get on custom ROMs.
I encourage you to READ THE WIKI BEFORE DOING ANYTHING TO YOUR PHONE!

[Q] ROM Manager

So I've been trying to find why ROM manager should not be used with this device and I just see that I shouldn't. I came from a MyTouch 4G where that or 4EXT were standard.
What symptoms does ROM manager cause?
I've noticed that any ROM I try to flash that doesn't use aroma installer fails at checking the update package. Is this one and how do I avoid it?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium HD app

Rom manager does not support our device so any recovery you flash is going to result in a bricked phone. It's just that simple. Even after installing the correct custom recovery, stay away from it because you won't find any compatible roms either. Not to mention that in order to flash a rom with rom mangler you first have to flash a recovery so it knows which roms to look for.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

I have ROM manager on my phone already. Hasn't seemed to brick it yet. I just can't flash ROMs through it unless they are packaged with aroma. But wiping works fine.

How are you using it at all? Doesn't it prompt you to install a recovery?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

He will learn.....soon to be a statistic,wanting to know how to unbrick his phone.

I'm more than prepared to fix a brick.
It flashes through the market app fine using the i9000(?) option. I can then reboot into recovery fine and flash/wipe/mount just fine. Though the model mismatch might also be causing the issue where I can't flash anything not packaged with aroma.

Your lucky flashing that recovery should have soft bricked your phone. This is not the i9000. That's the galaxy s international version of the phone. Then there's the t959 vibrant. And the t959w for wind Mobile. Which are all slightly different. Like i said really lucky. Sooner or later it's likely to burn you.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

I know this isn't the I9000. Perhaps I should consider dusting off my coding knowledge and make a compatible recovery.
This phone is so much different than my old HTC glacier... -_-

We have cwm recoveries for the phone they just don't flash thru Rom Manager.

Given that CyanogenMod is dumping ROM Manager, it seems like energy could be better put elsewhere.
