Someone wants to buy my gf's phone but it has clockwork installed with a custom rom. Is there a way to install the original 2.2 rom without the long procedure? Is there a very stable 2.2 clockwork rom with very small modifications?
Thanks

You can install original (rooted) stock 2.3.3 ROM, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140862
I was looking at that but the replies were somewhat negative... I'll give it a try! Thanks

Shrug. You wanted stock with very little modifications. The only mods there are root + a2sd support. (Oh, and removed FB+Twitter junk).
(There is a nandroid backup of 2.2.x posted somewhere here, but I cannot find it and IMHO if you want stock ROM, it is pointless to flash 2.2.x now).

Hey all,
Been running ROMs on my Hero for a while now but I'd like to give the stock 2.1 a try and possibly stick with it until CM6 is stable. I know I can install the RUU but I don't really want to lose my recovery partition, I had to use the gold card method which was a pain in the ass.
I don't need root, I'd actually prefer to get a non-rooted completely default factory ROM if possible. How would I go about doing that or do I need to install the RUU and re-root it later if I want to? I've seen some "stock" ROMs floating around on the dev forum but all have been rooted and most seem to be running custom kernels too.
Any info or a link would be appreciated if I can keep my recovery part. Cheers
Villain Team has posted the GSM roms. There's pure stock and rooted stock.

Hi guys,
First, sorry for my English... I'm Brazilian... =x
Well... i have bought a LG P500 and i really don't know what i will do with it, because i don't understand this whole thing about custom roms, kernel, custom recovery, ...
But i'm reading some articles and i'm in a doubt... what i do?
I install a Custom ROM (like void forever 2.3.4)?
or
I install the 2.3 GB (Officil FW)?
Thanks!

what is the best? this Custom ROM or the official GB?
I'm talking about speed of the system, a fix to the touch bug and more...

void. #forevah.
LOL. "What is the best" asks for a nice flamewar. Would suggest to use the phone with stock FW for a while, perhaps just root it and continue reading.
Why?
The one advantage that I (a noob) can see, is the language (the void rom is available in PT-BR, but the official FW is available only in PT-PT... =s).
The official FW can allow me to fix the touch bug?
And what is the other advantages? It is really faster? The perfomance is better?
Thanks!

Since you're new in this I'd suggest you to take it easy atm. especially while we have ported gb, official gb, different basebands etc etc you'll get confused. Keep your current stock, root it and try to install recovery. After that you should try flashing some froyo roms or CM or andy's and you see how it goes. Baby steps

There is no touch bug on 2.3.3 stock ROM. Other than that - really, take your time and do some reading. You are asking horribly generic questions.

And I'm already doing some reading about custom firmware and this whole thing...

Hi, fellow brazilian here. I suggest you start by rooting your phone, install recovery then install franco.kernel v18cfs. It will fix the touch bug, speed up ur phone and will give you great battery life. This way youll have a tottaly bug free device.
As others said, wait a little before installing a custom rom. They all have little bugs, enjoy stock froyo for a while and keep reading the forum.

Oh, yes...
I have read about this Custom ROM! In a poll in this forum, it is winning with a good difference...
Well, can you answer three questions, please? =D
1 - This Custom is really better than Noejn's?
2 - It is available in my language? (PT-BR)
3 - How many points this custom makes in a benchmark?
Thanks!

After flashing recovery, don't forget to make a complete nandroid backup from custom recovery, before you start messing with your phone... So u can always restore your current firmware.

Erm and copy it to pc..

Root, install recovery and do a nandroid backup. Its easier to restore the stock rom using recovery, and safer too.
I can see you are eager to install gb on your device, despite our suggestion to keep your stock rom for a while. Then i suggest you flash mik's cm7, IMO the best rom out there.
Every rom based on cm7 has pt-BR, and in my experience mik's cm7 + franco.kernel + ungaze's data2sd is the fastest combo available.

SuperOneClick or z4root?
And what Custom Recovery? Mik's?
Thanks again!
Please, someone!

Hey all, I've never rooted or installed a custom rom before so how do I go about it? I want to be able to overclock my Eris, so what would be a rom with a kernel that supports that? I also have android 2.1, it is still possible to root and put in a custom rom?

I recommend this thread for rooting and scrolling down the 1st post to scenario 5 and using Scary Alien's modified apk of jcase's one click root which installs amon-ra trackball optional recovery. I would then suggest doing a nandroid backup from recovery and saving a copy of that in case you need to go back to where you are and then you can install any ROM of your choice found in the Eris Dev section.
Hello so i want to load a custom rom and kernel onto my tablet but have no idea how to or which one to load!
What tools do i need?
Which rom is the best generally?
What are the risks or benefits?
I am currently rooted but stock rom froyo 2.2.2 and stock kernel.
My games are the biggest to me second is music thats what i use it for.
Thankx
1.lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+flash+a+rom+on+samsung+galaxy+player+5. Google is your friend.
2. Any rom that isn't in developement is fine. Your choice.
3. There are no risks if you do it properly. Benefits are usually listed in the rom thread.

You can try this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1579774
It's not a "custom ROM" with a lot of features and tweaks. It's based on a stock ROM (Gingerbread 2.3.6) and it's rooted, deodexed, with CWM Recovery and some other features...
For flashing instructions click on the link in the ROM's thread "Flashing Rom with Odin" where you will find a tutorial to the process...
To prevent any problem flash the right ROM for your device (International or USA version), you will only miss the SoundAlive feature that's crap in Gingerbread but games and other apps works fine.
Hope I helped and sorry for my crap english

So, I'm a pretty average custom rom user of an x10a.
I've flashed and tweaked out with several gingerbread roms, without any issues.
Recently I found about the newer 4.1.2 roms for the x10 from late December. And I was wondering, 'cause I want to update to one of those, I understand that they're flashed in the same way 2.3 roms are. But, my xRecovery is the 3.0 gingerbread ready version. So I don't know if it will work at all after I've installed one of the Jelly Bean roms.
So I'm kindly asking anybody who knows on the forum if it will still work after I flash to 4.1.2. 'Cause I'm not certain which rom of the two I found is better for me. And I want to test them both out, but of that of course I'd need xRecovery working.
In short I'm just asking for a y/n answer on will xRecovery for the Xperia x10 work after I've installed a 4.1 custom rom, or will I have to go back to stock 2.3.3 and re-root and unlock my bootloader again?
Big thanks to anybody who replies This is the first post I made here, and probably the only one I'll never need.

copy your choice of rom, ics/jb into your sd card. install the appropriate kernel via flashtool. all ics/jb kernels includes CWM so you should have no problem installing these roms granted that you have unlocked bootloader.

It can be done, but it depends on which kernel you flash.
Some kernels only contain CWM, while others contain xRecovery and CWM.
But you can always flash a kernel that has xRecovery (Like Doomkernel of ferkernel 3.6), and thus you have xRecovery.

What you must understand is that a Rom comes with some installation scripts. CWM and xRecovery will able or not to understand those scripts.
In order to be able to flash a ICS or JB rom from xRecovery it means that the rom has to been prepared to be flashed thanks to xRecovery.
The Recovery "manager" are provided with the kernels, so there shouldn't be anything to ask about xRecovery or CWM regarding Roms,
just flash the kernel that works with your rom and you'll get the correct recovery to install the ROM from.
The only exception is that on some phone, the CM10 kernel doesn't want to go into recovery before flashing CM10 Rom (happened to me when coming from stock gb), so you have to flash CM9 kernel, install CM10 rom and reflash CM10 kernel.
The question of xRecovery and CWM is more when you try to flash some libraries after the installation of the Rom.
So regarding this question, there's no ICS or JB roms (that I know of) that have a xRecovery scripts.
