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.

I will be eventually putting mine up there as well. I'm trying to do a complete overhaul for the next version of Refuse.
Yeah after a little newbie hiccups I am rocking a custom rom.

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....

I asked Koush today if he could add it...but he seemed busy with something. After looking at his twitter, I think he's still working on the Optimus series.

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?
I have wiped and tried new roms 7 times so far. i dont know what to do. every rom i try as soon as i get through setup i get a gtalk error. and then the camera still wont open. any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

yeah I had it happen when I was actually going to use my camera. I use it for my business to send high res pics, and when I can't it a BIG BIG problem. I found the camera.zip on rootzwiki and I am happy to share.
OK so I keep hearing about cwm not wiping correctly same problem existed with the evo but has anyone tried instead of dfr to actually wipe system data and all that 3x in advanced I believe jw and wtf is a flash counter
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
I have no experienced this yet, but have also heard. I used the tmo gsII backup and i haven't had any problems so far. Tried about 4 different roms with no problems even flashed a couple kernels.
As for your question 2, search is your friend. A flash counter basically tells the phone how many custom roms you have put on it. Obviously starting at 0 going up. I believe to reset the counter you need a special usb tool.
Try searching using taptalk for a year it sucks balls I did look around and figured it but wanted to make sure and USB jig doesn't work anymore apparently Sammy sure has changed LOL but this phone is nuts compared to my evo just gotta learn her quirks

I flash just like I did on my Evo...no issues
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe system
Never paid attention to the counter...its tripped when using Odin

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.
Thanks for the info

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.
Hey Guys. (THESE HAVE ONLY BEEN TESTED BY ME ON GB 2.3.6)
I have put together a collection of updater scripts for my own use. I think they will be helpful.
They are a work in progress...I may need some more testers or feedback.
I wasn't sure if these belonged in the Themes/apps or Q/A. I guess mod can move if appropriate.
If more needs come up, I can try to fix or do something else.
1. The EFS_Backup will back up your EFS into a tar file that can be restore via Odin, Heimdall or extract/copy/paste in the even you lose your EFS on a bad flash. It will be handy to have. I know it works because I tried it several times. You only need 1 or 2. It will make a file on your /SDCARD/EFS_BACKUP/
2. Clean_Wipe: This contains multiple layers of delete of old systems files, data files, cache files, dalvik files and any other left overs from a previous ROM. Hopefully flashing this before you flash a ROM will wipe all traces of previous ROM to give you a clean slate. This will not erase your SDcard or microSD card.
DO NOT FLASH THIS unless you are ready to flash a ROM or have a ROM on your SDcard. If you tried to reboot without flashing a ROM, all you will see is a pretty bright white Samsung logo.
Ideally this will eliminate the need to jumping around in CWM trying to manually erase everything.
3. Bluetooth_fix. Ideally this would restore the infuse BT function bases on UCLB3 files. Flash it. Fix permission and reboot. It seems to work for some but not others...I don't know why yet. This is tested on INFUSE NATIVE ROM only..I DONT BELIEVE THIS WILL WORK ON MIUI or CM7. I have no idea what that will do. If I get more understanding, I will make revisions if needed.
4. Wifi_Fix: After flashing some ROMs, some people have wifi issues. Dropping etc. I have suspected that it is due to left over from previous ROMs or problems with multiple writes during cache build. I'm not sure. I have not had this happened to me over some many attempts to borked it. I wrote this up as an attempt to delete the broken configuration and force a new file generation.
I tried it on mine and it does just that. However, not being broken before, I can't tell if if will fix your borked wifi connection. The current best fix is reseting your router or changing the DHCP time - which in essense, forces your phone to produce a new configuration. This may save you a walk to your router log in and changing the DHCP.
edit: (3/28/2012) This may not fix more long standing wifi issues some users are having. It may fix the log on/drop off scenario.
Again...my disclaimer is that this is for development purposes. I have tried them all...I can make no warranties on them or their safety on your phone.
I hope you can find them useful.
Feedback is welcome...good or bad...so I can learn some more.
I like the practicality this has.

Thanks..one more confirmed working.
The idea I had in the wipe script is that sometimes a complete wipe is not needed. One may want to save some data. In vagabond, I had put in complete wipes to ensure first time installation success... that got tedious after frequent set ups when I was testing. If I set up another build, no wipe will be in the ROM. The end user can decide. I thought this would be useful for others as well switching between ROMs without the hassle of navigating in cwm.
thanks qkster
the Clean Wipe is it just a faster way to wipe data/wipe cache/wipe dalvik? is it better then going odin or Heimdall?

It's faster than trying to jump around in cwm wiping everything. It will ensure a 99% clean..I'm leaving the last 1% for the idk moment. For most instances, it will suffice.
I use Heimdall or Odin only when I need to fix a boot loop, system file error, partition corruption or if I thought the problem came from using a froyo base with a gb rom.
I really like this idea. The wipe file is genius.
