[Q] ClockworkMod ROM Manager

I was trying to make a backup of my current ROM/info before I installed a new kernel, but when I click "Backup current ROM", I get a pop up that says
Flash Clockworkmod Recovery
You must have CLockworkMOD Recovery Installed before continuing! Install the recovery through ROM Manager first.
I click Install and it asks me to confirm my phone model, but the closes thing that it offers to my phone model is the Samsung t-Mobil Galaxy S2. Is this the one I should use? Or is there another way I should be going about this?
Sorry for all the n00b questions, just want to make sure I do everything right incase I have to fix my phone. haha

Select t-mobile.

Yes you must choose tmobile galaxy s2. Its the same as our phone, ours is not listed. But that is what everyone who uses rom manager does

Don't choose Motorola Startac, you're phone will explode....

As mentioned, the T-Mo Clockwork mod option is the one you want. That is, unless they have added proper Skyrocket option since the last time I flash in CWM.

I just installed the Touch Recovery from Rom Manager using the Android Market in-app purchase. Updated my CWM to 5.8.1.3, from what I gather on the website, this is the T-Mobile SGS 2 version. Works fine from what I can tell/tested.

You can install the slimdroid port using CWM if you want to install the full version from Lenovo you will need to make sure you have the stock recovery installed. It is tricky but it works. Do a quick search and make sure you understand how the bootable sdcards work. The A1 is almost unbrickable but it can get scary at times as long as you have a boot sdcard you will be fine.
I have been running it for a couple of days it works well the battery drains a bit faster but much better than stock. CM7 is very nice too you can't go wrong with either one.

Good to know the other versions all worked on CWM looks like you will need to install the stock recovery before continuing.

Well, I flash someone's rom with cwm and its very unstable it doesn't have wifi , gapps, and usb mass storage but it has usb debugging, I was thinking to change the files of the recovery to cwm using adb and do a fresh install of gb, is that ok?

The first thing you are going to want to do if you want to go back to stock and that is probably best and then go from there is download the following.
http://download.lenovo.com/slates/a1/OTA/A107W0_A234_001_015_2643_US.zip
http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~grm08/ideapad/cyanogenmod/stock-a1-ramdisk-2643.zip
http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~grm08/ideapad/cwm-5.0.2.7-rev3-ideapad-a1.zip
If you have a 16gb device grab
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23471133&postcount=409
First flash CWM 5.0.2.7 (you can use the newer one later if you want to but use this one for this)
Then if you have the 16GB model flash stock-mbr.zip and reboot into CWM. (if you have a 2GB device this will hose it the device don't do it)
Then flash the ram disk followed by the 2643 OTA.
If you have an issue installing CWM grab a bootable sdcard there are instructions in the ICS threads and use that to flash CWM.
The A1 is almost unbrickable unless you have a hardware problem you should be able to get it working again.

I inatall the alimdroid but the space for install apps is very reduce and the apps can't move tp th sd card is there any form to change that?

Flash the gapps package once more. And if it dosent appear even after that, then check whether the apps are frozen.

Download the appropriate and latest Gapps for your phone and flash them through CWM the same way you flashed the ROM!

Don't double post threads u already have one in general that you're being helped in

Flash GAPPS through CWM. If it still doesn't work you might have borked something while installing the ROM.

Ensure you are using the correct gApps for the ROM you are using (CM9 and CM10 use different gApps)
Also, not all gApps packages will install all of the apps (Mine only install Search and Play Store) so you may have to download any additional appers you require yourself

I've come across this same problem with my own ROM of choice for my Optimus P509 (which I'm pretending is an Optimus One P500 since support was dropped for the P509) but it sounds to me like there is not enough storage space on your system partition. You can fix this in one of two ways that I know of: freeing up space by deleting some of the .apk packages on the ROM's system partition before flashing OR by deleting some of the .apk packages on the your gapps package.
I use 7-Zip File Manager to edit the .zip file of the ROM on my laptop to delete some of the useless apps that I never use to utilize the most of my phone's tiny internal memory capacity of 200MB.
I'll go more into detail if you think this might be your issue but the issue may be very specific to my device. I'm just an aspiring student-programmer but I'd like to help as best I can.

[Q] 2 Important questions before flashing

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?

[Q] How to install custom recovery after root?

I recently rooted my phone by using chainfire's CF-AUTO-ROOT and it has stock recovery on it. Now, I want to install a custom recovery, specifically cwm recovery. How will be able to do this? Do I have to unroot then root again? a step by step info will be appreciated. thanks

Your thread is changing direction but I can't resist commenting anyway. If your tablet is rooted, stock I don't think you will see big benefits to a custom ROM. For other tablets I use like the Kindle, Nook and N7 custom roms can make a huge difference. I'm running CM 10.? Or variants of that on those devices. My most used tablet is this 2.7 with stock ROM. If you must try another ROM, I'd suggest a sick based ROM that is deodexed with sound or visual enhancements. Also, changing to a noon, Touchwiz launcher will make big differences. GOOD LUCK!
P.S. quess what a ROMaholic might be.
