I'm not sure how far this warning extends as I'm new to android with this phone, but if you see the sticky at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1288112

Big red letters say not to use ROM Manager.

That said, if you open ROM manager, choose "Backup ROM". It will reboot and give you the screen with the green droid and triangle exclamation point. At that screen, press power button and it gives you the CWM Recovery menu. Use volume buttons to select "backup and restore", then home button to choose it. Then home again to pick "backup" on the next screen.

Once done you can go back to the main screen and choose to reboot from there.

Edit: Looks like PirateGhost beat me to it.

It was working fine for backup process, I am not using for rom downloads and updates. And I don't care how many times it has been stated to not use it, it was working fine for backups, and all I was asking for was if anyone can help, and clearly you can't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
so use the backup/restore feature in CWM!

problem solved!

i dont understand how hard it is to comprehend......if ROM manager is giving everyone problems, DONT USE IT. if it was working for you then it stopped, DONT USE IT

pretty cut and dry....

until there is proper implementation of ROM manager, DONT USE IT

re: rom manager

Here is a app which can replace Rom Manager until they update it to be

completely compatible with our new phones.

Download link: http://www.wuala.com/jgmoreno75/Sams....5.apk?lang=en

It does basically all functions of rom manager and many more which rom

manager cannot do. About the only thing I cannot do is to download roms.

Check it out...

Also PLEASE if you are a NOOB reading this please don't post anything pertaining to Rom Manager.

It's just a waste of time since it's not needed at all for doing anything that we do here and there is

NOTHING in Rom Manager which is a requirement for flashing, backing up, restoring, installing or

anything else having to do or pertaining to our Samsung i777 phones..

So let's all just forget that rom manager even exists for now

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wiswis:
Why would tmobile be delaying it?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Cause the mytouch Line is there flagship and they want to keep there phones stock. Idk. Who knows at this point. The sensation had source code within a month. This phones in Its almost 3rd month and we got nothing. Someone is holding it back, Im leaning toward tmobile. :shrug:

Simple

CM3 = 1.5

CM4 = 1.6

CM5 = 2.0/2.1

CM6 = 2.2

CM7 = 2.3

and since phones didn't get honeycomb, which is 3.0, we'd get 4.0, so it'd be CM9
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ChristoA1:
Since the CyanogenMod #s don't line up with the Android #s, and there's not a CM8 for Honeycomb*, I'd put good money on CM8 being ICS.

*If I'm not mistaken, Honeycomb was never open-sourced from Google?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rdrrlabs:
Is the MyTouch4g and MT4gs based on the 3g models likely to get an OS update from Tmobile? Or is the only way to expect ICS tools to go the custom rom route?

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
It's going to take a while to get official ICS . Go the custom Rom route.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] thebowers131:
Agreed!

By the time the 2.2 update for the mt3gs came out, there had already been a leaked version of the rom on xda that was EXACTLY the same...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dhkr234:
Its worst than that... CM numbers are worse than retarded.

Major version should be UPSTREAM VERSION.

CM9?

Should be versioned as android-4.0-X.cm.arch

Screw the CM version, it is MEANINGLESS.

X being the specific build number for android-4.0.

CM is not a fork, it is downstream, and those arrogant SOBs should accept it.

I got my SG2 a week ago. Initially everything worked fine even my Hosted Exchange account. I decided to wipe the phone and now during my Exchange setup I get the following error..

Unable to establish a network connection..try again with network provider's default apn

Whats odd is that everything else works fine.. MMS, Browsing the net, Market, downloading apps, IMAP and POP. I was even able to set up the Exchange account on Touch Down and Enhanced Email. This leads me to believe that there is an issue with the native email client. I've even attempted with and without Wifi...no luck with either one.

Any feedback on how I can resolve this? I want to use the native email client like I was when I first activated the device. If I can't get it to work it's going back to At&t.

Thanks guys!

Are you running a custom ROM or still 100% stock? Are you rooted? You didn't specify, and it's hard to help troubleshoot without that type of information.

There are some issues with the custom ROMs and Exchange lately, I read somewhere a theory that it may be the way they've set up the APN's.

[Android Apps and Games] febycv:
Firefox is finally getting flash support. Now the latest nightly build of firefox 10.0a1 offers Flash support...

Support for the plugin landed in the nightly builds a few days ago - meaning you can try it yourself, right now.

If you want to experience the magic of flash on Firefox, you can try out the latest trunk build.

If the desktop version is any indication, the stable version will be launching around January 31, 2012.

Download the apk here. A word of warning though, it crashes. A lot.
[Android Apps and Games] Jays2Kings:
You didn't post a link.

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/nightly/latest-mobile-trunk/

Doesn't really matter though, because when it's enabled (flash) it will freeze and crash.

The stable version with flash is reported to be released with Firefox 10, which is expected on January 31, 2012.

Welp, that's quite a ways away.

No surprise on the crashing, given how often I have to kill 'plugin container' on the desktop thanks to flash ...

I've been trying to enable it for days now. I can't find out how. Someone please help!!!

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------

I figured it out!!! I didn't have Flash enabled on the default browser. Here is what I did (the whole story). First of all I'm using a Galaxy S II (not sure if that matters). I didn't have Flash enabled on the default browser, and I also had the stable version of FF, FF beta, along with the Nightly, so the first thing I did was a web search, and only one post I found in countless results directed users who have the beta version to uninstall that first. Well not wanting to spend all day trying I uninstalled the stable, beta, and nightly. Then I reinstalled nightly only. No Flash. Hmmm. I went on a hunch, and opened the stock browser not knowing if that mattered if Flash needed to be enabled, and I didn't know if I had it enabled, so I checked, and nope, it wasn't enabled. I enabled Flash, reopened FF nightly, and now all websites with video show the flash player by default. So in closing there is no option to enable Flash in Firefox. You just need it enable in the default browser first. Oh and of course you need Flash Player from the Market first, but that should be a given. I hope this saves someone time on trying to figure it out.

---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 PM ----------

Oh, and just for those who would like to know, it runs very well, and very stable in nightly 11.0a1. I'm happy enough that I made Nightly my default. Enjoy.
[Android Apps and Games] pierro78:
Flash is enabled in the default browser but not working in ff 11 nightly here ... glad it's working for you though :)

(when I'll have time I'll deinstall and reinstall it to see if that solves my issue ...)
[Android Apps and Games] joojoobee666:
Problem here was slightly different as flash was already enabled in the default browser. I had to clear data fir Nightly, presumably due to upgrading from Nightly time and again. After that it began working. I clearly still has a ways to go, especially since the change over to native UI from XUL, but I'm glad to finally see flash support (just as it's dying).
[Continuum General] verizonless:
I love my Continuum.

But... it is so much "noisier" than all other Android phones that I tried!

By "noisier", I mean constant bombardment of the system log by all the applications that run there and, most annoyingly, random interruption by unsolicited notifications, messages, RSS, etc.

This gets in the way of certain applications that I run in the foreground, so I tried an application called "Android Assistant" to help kill unneeded applications/services on boot. It doesn't help, as the system seems not to allow killing certain processes.

Is there a Continuum ROM that's cleaner than the latest ec07?

Is there a CyanogenMod ROM for the Continuum?

Frankly, I prefer keeping the existing ROM and only install a Market application that kills on boot all the the applications that I don't need (e.g. Market, Gmail, Corporate Email, etc.), but is there such an application that really works?

Thanks!
[Continuum General] ciscogee:
Titaniumbackup or a root tool to uninstall bloat / apps u don't use. That's short of setting up a kitchen and cooking ur own rom.

[Continuum General] Penguinrocker:
Thats what Im talking about when are we going to get Cyanogen to make us a rom
[Continuum General] verizonless:
Good memory!

I actually took a look at TIB and the task of deciding which application or service to uninstall looks daunting. :confused::eek:

This is especially scary when I am prompted by the following warning when I try to uninstall via TIB:

How do I know up front which system packages I can uninstall? For example, if I uninstall Gmail, will the Market stop working?

For example, I uninstalled a few applications that I don't need and now I am getting periodic "Force close" messages for the following:

hiddenmenu - com.android.hiddenmenu

Messaging - com.android.mms

What is "hiddenmenu"?

I am attaching a text file listing all currently installed APKs. If you could provide tips which ones must absolutely remain on the phone, that would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

If anyone is able....and willing to help, I'd be most grateful.

I know there are many pages in the forum and the net that touch on this, but as one post puts it, almost too many.j

that is the least of the problems. I am a total newbie and get so confused.

When I originally rooted my phone it was with help from someone, now a friend, who I found on YouTube. I always saw confusing ways to root, where you can't miss ONE character. Somehow, don't ask me, feel free to tell me, we rooted with hardly any of that . Some character typing was done, but a lot was using programs, ROM managers, etc.. and hitting buttons.

So it was Rooted and I had no problems flashing ROMS

Now selling. I was gonna sell with MIUI...as I advertised. It was recommended by someone on here to put the factory firmware on .

1. That means flash the original MyTouch 4g firmware/UI/whatever?? ...or does it mean unroot

2. If it means the former, I found one site it gave me this file PD15IMG can I just flash that. It led me to believe I can. It won't be unrooted but it would be the original ROM

3. Or should I unroot. Is anyone willing to walk me thru some steps on here, maybe thru PM...I just get so confused by this stuff because it talks about s=on or ???

4. Lastly, this gent recommended I flash that OR reflash whatever I am gonna send, then Factory wipe. I thought reflashing WAS factory resetting.

Can you tell me how to factory reset AFTER I flash a ROM

LIke I said, I have searched and did find some of this in different places but in jargon I don't understand

So please if you could answer any one or all of the above Id be grateful. If you like I can paypal you 5-10 dollars or a few more if we spend time on it.

Sincerely

Much thanks to the 3 of u. It may be a non issue...as I am not hearing back.from the buyer and it was advertised to be sold with MIUI with pics and he may have liked the iPhone 'look' In answer to your questions I was helped by Mack on YouTube to root. I do t k ow which way. I DO know it was the easy way....it involved very little typing and worrying about messing up a character

I have only used ROM Manager and CWM within that. When I reboot I see the option for bootloader. Is it 'dangerous?'

This is what I am gonna do tell me if correct

Take that last link. Hook up to Computerput in root of SD card. Hit restart except dont hit normal

or recovery...hit bootloader...it will restart...maybe hit yes or enter when asked

-only if he gets back to me today if not tomorrow is the 5 th day since he bought it and I have a 4 day turnaround so I will mail as advertised. He has 0 points, sales or purchases on EBay

-for some reason I am getting no email notification for xda when I select it.

-I get some keys that dont type occasionally it may have started with MIUI. could that be beccause of it. Someone on here, a senior told me as good as MIUI is it is unstable

-regardless of which I flash/leave on. How about the factory research tying. Thought that was just the reflashimg. For MIUI I JUST hit wipe data in recovery right after flashing and restart. I guessed that because I did that once by mistake and it restarted with MIUI there

I appreciate all your help and patience here. For all of you I can't give u more than thanks for hopefully getting me thru this. I dont think its my lack of intelligence that can't do it. Its my anxiety, health situation and lack of fundage to be able to brick a phone. No mas for me :)

That same gent told me that he thinks in HTC phones that once u flash a ROM he thinks u lose ROOT?

I hope to hear back and have a good day

[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
No, it is not dangerous. The last link is the RUU (PD15IMG) of the stock ROM. And your steps are good to go. Go into bootloader and let it do its thing.

Flashing rooted ROM's will not make you lose root. You only lose root flashing an unrooted ROM, such as a stock ROM.
