[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kulch:
My question is...

I have Cyanogen mod 7 on my phone atm and I want to experiment with other roms. I'm going to try MIUI

Do I have to Re flash my phone if I already have open recovery and nandroid on my phone or can i just get the Miui rom throw it on the SD card , then go to open Recovery wipe everything and install the miui and reboot the phone?

And do I also have to apply the Google apps update as well (i'd assume i have to just like cyanogen 7)

Thanks for the help!

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rrohanjs:
if ur coming from cm7 to miui u will have to wipe everything .. no need to flash gapps ..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
From ROM to ROM, all you need to do is place the ROM itself on your SD Card in OpenRecovery/updates and do a FULL WIPE (both caches and data).

For Gingerbread ROMs you need the GB Google Apps(Gapps). For Froyo ROMs (with the exception of FroyoMOD) you need to flash the Froyo Gapps.

Reboot into recovery and apply update, go from there.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rrohanjs:
for miui u dnt need to flash gapps ..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
Regardless, you can flash it nonetheless, it's gets you into a good habit of flashing Gapps with GB ROMs :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kulch:
thanks !

awesome guys really appreciate it:):):)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kulch:
Another noob question tho!

When I nandroid backup my Cyanogen mod 7 settings will it be there when i do a factory wipe and put a different rom on, and if i dont like that rom i can easily go back into open recovery, click restore and boom i got my cyanogen again?>

:D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rrohanjs:
when u do a nandroid backup u dnt backup only ur settings .. do a full backup n when u restore ur phone will back to the same state when u backed it up ..

u don't have to setup your phone again as all your settings (Google Account, Facebook, Twitter) and your personalised fonts, ringtone, wallpaper, widgets.... all get restored back.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rrohanjs:
u shud even do apps2ext ..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] knitterb:
Someone answered this, but I wanted to help be really clear. When you do a nandroid backup, it backs up the ROM, your data (save for the SDCard) and the cache. Basically, if you hork your device (which I do a lot), you can restore from the nandroid backup right from recovery (hold down the X key while powering on).

The nice thing is that you really can't mess up. Make sure to take a backup before you play, and if you don't like what you see a few hours later, you can safely fully restore and be right back where you were on the old ROM with your old data.

Cheers!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rrohanjs:
correct ..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rrohanjs:
Scenario where Nandroid backup comes in handy

Ok, so now you are on Miui ROM ver.1.5.27. You have gone thru the trouble of setting up your Google account, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

You have personalised it with your own ringtone, fonts, widgets and wallpaper.

Then u found out Miui ROM got new update today to ver.1.6.5 and you are eager to go flash it now until you forget to make Nandroid backup...thinking what could go wrong.

So u go ahead and flash this new Miui ROM ver.1.6.5 but then you found out that it drains battery life crazy or maybe this is the Chinese version.

So u decided to go back to Miui ROM ver.1.5.27.

But because you forgotten to make a Nandroid backup, you have to go thru the whole process of flashing the zip file, the Gapps and then setting up your Google account, Facebook, Twitter, etc and also setting up your personalised ringtone, wallpaper, fonts, widgets, etc.

Now... had u done a Nandroid backup of Miui ROM ver.1.5.27 before you flash a newer version, then your life would be easier because all you need to do is restore back the Nandroid backup of Miui ROM ver.1.5.27 and u don't have to setup your phone again as all your settings (Google Account, Facebook, Twitter) and your personalised fonts, ringtone, wallpaper, widgets.... all get restored back.

I have a rooted EVO running the AVA-FROYOZ3 ROM. I has to has Clockwork Version 2.5.0.7 to install this Rom because it wouldn't work with the newer version. I am going to install the OMGB Stock Gingerbread ROM. Do I have to update to clockwork 3.0.0.5 before I flash the Rom?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
I would recommend the latest cw 3.0 or amon ra 2.3. Preferably amon ra 2.3 imo.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705026

The bootloader method would be the easiest to flash amon ra but if you do kiss rom manager good bye (if you use it).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jborell3:
So if I want clockwork 3.0 I can just flash it through ROM Manager and it won't mess up my current Rom?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Correct, and it shouldn't break or mess up anything.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
I doubt it, however and as has already been suggested, you really should consider switching to amon-RA v2.3. I don't know of a rom yet that can't be flashed with it and when you run into trouble, more than likely, you will need amon-RA to get you out of it. At least that has been my experience.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jborell3:
Yea I switched to Amon-RA and all went fine. Thanks guys. Quick question. Can I restore the nandroid backups I made through Clockwork with Amon -RA?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Negative lol. Any you made with cw can't be used with amon ra and vice versa.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] adobrakic:
I got a little happy last night and tried tinkering with my SGS, and ended up causing it not to boot up. It currently just sits at the Samsung Galaxy S 4G logo screen, so now I'm just trying to go back to stock and start over.

I do not have odin (still not really sure what it is), but I do have CWM and I've wanted to flash this rom; but towards the end of the thread, some users say not to flash this and to use some other rom with odin instead.

Also, this rom won't even flash in CWM. It just says "installation aborted."

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] adobrakic:
I just tried flashing this with Odin, using these instructions, and I just got the bricked screen......

Can someone please help me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dbldown7:
recover a nandroid backup...

If you can't figure out Odin, but can boot into recovery, reinstall packages to get into CWM. Then you can restore to your last nandroid backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] adobrakic:
I can no longer boot into recovery or download. I'm stuck at the screen with the phone and computer with the yellow triangle in between. Odin still recognizes my phone when I plug it in (I think), but that's it. Also, I don't understand what there is to "figure out" about odin anyway. I followed the directions exactly, and the flash simply failed in Odin and when I rebooted, I got stuck at the bricked screen.

Looks like a trip to T-Mobile is in order...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
YOU DID NOT BRICK YOUR PHONE!!!!!

when i pulled the cord on my phone during download mode and odin it gave me the same screen as you

THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT ITS BRICKED

your computer will still recognize your phone and SO WILL ODIN!

that screen is basically another download mode

heres what you do:

download whitehawkx kd1 deodexed

go into download mode like you normally would and plug the phone in

you will notice that odin still recognizes your phone

in odin ONLY press the PDA option and then choose whitehawkx PDA_KD1 file

flash and wait for reset.... then BAM your phone has the new kd1 rom and its not bricked

i promise you the screen your getting doesnt mean a brick, ive seen that screen like 10 times throughout my flashing days
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] adobrakic:

Samsung sgs4g 2.2.1 stock
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
yea you need:

Odin

any sgs4g rom like whitehawkx kd1 deodexed

take your battery out, put it back in and hold both the up and down volume buttons, then while holding them down plug your phone into your computer via usb and you will enter DOWNLOAD MODE from there you open odin on your computer and click only the PDA option look for the whitehawkx pda_kd1 file you downloaded and click start

that should fix it :)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbolinao:
Hi people,

i just bought my Nexus S (I9023, S_LCD version), It is running on 2.3.4 now and I noticed there's no facebook contact sync option. I learned that google removed it (damn sh*t!)

is there any app that can do facebook contact sync? (I used SyncMyPix but I need the real contact sync not just pictures)

If there are no apps to do it, is rooting an option? I hope someone here can provide a step by step easy to follow rooting and installing ROMs coz I dont want to mess my new phone. plus im not a pro when it comes to Android modification (was able to root my x10 mini pro and installed xrecovery and JIT but thats about it. and i did them the easy way, not the hardcore manual way), so i still consider myself an amateur when it comes to this.

anyway, i hope someone here can help me. that's the only thing missing in my Nexus S, the facebook sync. and again, im using the I9023 S-LCD version, with 2.3.4 installed. Just thought I should mention that in case there are different ROM versions for specific Nexus S model.

Thanks guys!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superfloup:
You can use Contapps ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apreichner:
This post should be in the questions and answers section.

There are custom roms (modified versions of the OS) that support facebook sync. One of which is cyanogenmod. You will need to root your phone and there are many guides in the general section that tell you step by step how to do it. Most everyone here was in the same boat as you one time or another and i think we can agree that reading and searching gave the answers.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r2001uk:
Now that PS3 controllers are working in wired form on 3.1 (See here), what are the chances of us SGSII owners getting some of the action. The SGSII supports USB OTG does it not?

Or am I way off here and it's more to do with Honeycomb and therefore not possible? I don't mind using a wired controller - anything is better than on-screen controls and since we can't use the Wiimote apps, this has got to be the next best thing, surely.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FPRobber:
I think it doesn't work for two reasons:

1) 2.3 and 3.0 don't support gamecontrollers

2) The GS2 doesn't have enough power to power the DS3.

Problem 1 should go away when we get the Ice Cream update next year.

Problem 2 will probably stay forever. The DS3/Sixaxis is trying to charge itself using the USB connection. A phone simply cannot provide enough power for that. I just tried it with a PS2 to USB adapter and that worked. Obviously I couldn't test it though since I don't have Ice Cream.

[GT540 Optimus General] JackG256:
You DO NOT have to root the GT540 to install Custom ROMs. You will need to flash a "Fastboot ROM" to install Recovery and Custom ROMs. There are plenty of guides here and on MoDaCo on how to flash custom ROMs. If a guide tells you to root your phone before flashing a ROM, don't. You don't have to.

Hope it helps,

[GT540 Optimus General] dmcb123:
well that changes things :) thank you so much, all the other phones i have messed with needed root before you could flashh roms so i assumed it was the same here :P thanks again :D
[GT540 Optimus General] JackG256:
No problems mate, It's just the GT540 differs from the rest in this case. I still stick to my views and think every phone should have an unlockable or already unlocked bootloader, Where no flash or w/e is necessary lol
