Don't use 1-click toolkits. You know how to do it manually, do it manually.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] stingernwo:
Hey ive got the gliderunning n rogers stock and since it dosent seem we are going to be getting any ICS love up here i have. Acouple questions:

1) can i flash the leaked at&t rom onto an unrooted Rogers glide?

2) or can i flash at&t firmware onto the rogers to get the official update?

Thanks from a newb
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bakageta:
You can absolutely flash the leaked AT&T rom onto an unrooted Rogers glide, it's no different from installing it on an AT&T glide. If you're new to flashing in general, you can see my walkthrough here.

You should also be able to flash a stock AT&T firmware onto it and get the official update through Kies, but that seems like more effort than it's worth. I'd recommend either flashing the leak (and then clockworkmod and the keyboard backlight fix) or waiting for someone to release a version of the official 4.0.4 rom with the AT&T bloatware removed, which should happen soon.

You'll need to set your APN to match Rogers, or your MMS and internet won't work.

Original Thread:

I have a fix for the lagginess in builds from the past week and a half or so. The culprit is the surface flinger library. It is the android compositing system and some changes recently made to it are responsible for the significant lag in recent builds. Most noticeable spot is if you hit the home button if you have the notification drawer down. It becomes extremely laggy without this patch. Scrolling is also less smooth whenever multiple things on the screen are being drawn. This fixes all those issues.

Just flash this in cwm or whatever recovery you choose. Should work on all cm10 builds and cm10 based roms like paranoid android.

Apps will affect devices differently and have conflicts differently.

Hi All,

I have just received my new chinese dual sim mobile phone and I wont to back the entire system, ROM and everthing else as new. (before I tourn it in to an expensive brick).

My question is what software (for the PC running win7 64bit) and or app(s) do I need to be able to do this.

Do I need to root the phone before I can do this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJ88:
Yes you have to root it for complete backup...

Because without rooting you can't backup system files..

So first root it

Than install clockwork recovery

Than you can backup a nandroid backup(complete backup of system/Rom, data cache and android secure)...

Without rooting you will only able to backup sd card contents and installed apps..no system data

we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chunky2:
Hi AJ88, thank you for replying to my post.

I have been to the android playstore and found ROM manager and premium as well, when I typed in clockwork recovery in the popup, as I was typing in, I saw two apps one was called clockwork recovery and the other was called clockwork recovery mod, both of which sent me to the ROM manager. I take it that this is not what you are saying that I should download, if that is the case where can I get clockwork recovery from?

Thanks chunky...
