Has anyone tried the ROM Manager from the android market on G3? What does this do? I want to install a custom ROM on my G3 upgraded to 2.2 last week. Can somebody help me with detailed instructions and the best custom ROM to use.
ROM manager installs clockworkmod recovery, and the g3 doesn't have clockworkmod till now. So, no, you can't use it

Thanks, wanted to check if I can just root my G3 and continue using it as it is without installing a custom ROM. If yes, can I root using the z4root app. I have read about it but dont know if this will have any adverse impact on the phone. What will be the advantages of performing the root? Is there a better way to root my phone and will this improve the battery life? After upgrading to Froyo a week back, my battery life has dropped significantly. Have ATK installed and all the other functions are disabled but still not help
flash a custom rom^^ maybe this helps^^ they are prerooted.

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?
This topic has been covered thoroughly, I suggest you start here

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.

I would have went with CM7 since Gingerbread is newer than Eclair with many more capabilities and optimizations. It's still your choice though and if you just don't want gingerbread (for some reason), you could go with Froyo (linked in that thread) which is also newer than Eclair.

Follow the steps here: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...gingerbread-rom-on-huawei-u8120-vodafone-845/ (skip step 2 if you are going to flash a different rom).
There is any problem if I flash a different ROM?
So here is my progress:
1)I flashed my Vodafone 845 with Clockworkmod Recovery and I installed ROM manager
2)I tried to install the Roms from previous replys but no luck!After I press install the phone reboots
in install menu and then it gives me an error reboots right away!
What can I do?Thanks in advance

Try wiping data/cache partitions/dalvik cache then reflashing the rom.
I choosed this option from ROM Manager but nothing so far..
Here is the logs from ClockwordMod ROM Manager-Recovery
Ok I am really confused about this. So I just rooted my new Galaxy S II I got (the CF method using ODIN) and I was considering installing Cyanogenmod. However I changed my mind when I decided I could put a kernel on the stock instead. Now when I read thread for the kernel (as well as going to the website) it says it includes CWM touch Recovery with gesture support. Now does this mean when I flash the kernel with the recovery I got from rooting, it will also flash over the current recovery to the touch one? If I get OTA updates and apply them, will it remove the kernel and my root access? Also I am wondering has anyone had problems with this kernel?
Thanks for all the help.
Ainslie.
1) If you flash Siyah, it will overwrite/replace the current version of recovery you have, yes.
2) If you flash any stock firmware (including OTA updates), yes, of course you'll lose root. Any update will have a new stock kernel which will replace your existing kernel. If you do an update, you'll need to re-root your phone.
3) I've been using Siyah since about the 2nd week I got my phone (>8 mths) both Gingerbread & ICS and I've never had any major problems with it.
In saying that, obviously your experience with a given rom or kernel will not be exactly the same as someone else, because everyone has their phone setup differently/uses it differently.
So do a Nandroid backup in CWRecovery before you try Siyah, and if you don't like it, restore your backup. If you're going to use Siyah, I very much recommend you read the dev & discussion threads (certainly since Gokhan has been doing ICS builds at least). Any questions once you've installed it/started using it, ask them in the discussion thread (not the dev thread).
Ah cool thanks.
Also just one more questions.
When the new recovery is flashed with the ROM will the CF-ROOT custom CWM app work with it? Or will I have to download ClockworkMod from the Play Store?

Hi,
When u install siyah kernel, it includes the cwm app with the kernel. And the app is the same app you get in the cf- root kernel.
Siyah kernel is by far superior to cf-root. If you set it up right, you can get much better battery life. And it is so smooth. I would recommend that u use siyah..
Cheers

If you have siyah kernel installed, you can download an application from the play store called "extweaks"
If you open that you will find the option to under volt the cpu

Ps
And also, if you want really good battery life, go in to cwm recovery, go to "kernel specific options" and click on "battery optimised" that will set everything to get you the best battery life.

Dear reader,
I've currently been using Cyanomod for 2.3.7 Gingerbread.
My phone is rooted and everything (which took a little while )
Everything is running perfectly fine, but i would like to update my phone to android 4.0+ (whatever the lastest compatible version might be)
How should i go about this?
Do i basically uninstall everything and start from scratch or is there an easy method to quickly update my phone to android 4.
Kind Regards and Thank you for your time!
I believe the answer us first to backup your apps with titanium backup if you need them. Then go to recovery and backup your current Rom. (always be sure to do this). from recovery wipe factory reset and dalvik cache. Then install your new Rom from zip.
You cannot install an android 4.0 + over another version. Always backup and wipe.

Do i need to re-root my phone when i install a new Rom? Or should i just install it through recovery?
Rom's are pre rooted (expect stock, stock BASED roms ARE pre-rooted), once you've installed the rom through cwm, it will be rooted and ready.

If your bootloader is unlocked, you can easily flash a custom kernel (Based on ics, so it'll be compatible with ics rom) And boot into recovery, and flash a custom rom based on ics.
One last question, since i'm having trouble finding compatible roms.
Which one would any of you, recommend for me to use ?
I have a ST18i and i'd like the lastest compatible rom.
Thanks so much for the fast reponses and ofcourse the help.
Kind Regards,
Since you're using CyanogenMod 7 I would recommend you to use CyanogenMod 9.1 i.e. FXP 138 is the best in my experience.

If your finding trouble with compatible roms are you saying your getting bootloops when trying them?, because a different Android Version requires a different kernel, So if you haven't or forget to flash the kernel recommended or provided then that would possibly be where your compatibility issues lye as you will get bootloops if you don't and you are changing version. As Mikii suggested earlier.

Ahhh that must be it then.. I've been using the same kernel for quite some time now because it was quite a hassle to flash it. Different roms come with different kernels (at times). I'll have to figure out how to flash kernels again. Gonna check around the forums to see if i can find a suitable thread.
Thanks so much

The fastest way to flash a kernel is to use the program called flashtool, click on the lightening bolt, select Fastboot mode, then select kernel to flash find the kernel you want to flash and it should be done within literally 2 seconds. once Flashtool gives you the all clear, disconnect your phone from usb, restart phone, and there you go, the old kernel will be overwritten, and so will that kernel's cwm version, with the one from the new kernel.
Try FXP138

Yes, you have to revert out to 10b via kdz method, root and install twrp, then you can install an aosp Rom
That being said, the 2/1 build of cm12 is one of the most stable right now from my experience. Smooth as butter. You can pm me if you need any advice
Sent from my VK810 4G using XDA Free mobile app
Perfect. I'm very excited to have a device that can run AOSP roms once again. I might try a few of the other roms along with CM12 to see which one I like.
I'm also assuming this method will let me use custom kernels too right?
