I'm trying to install the community ROM and I've seen in Adrenalyne's guide that we shouldn't use CWR 3, which is the only one I've used. I downloaded a 2.5 version and there's no TAR file. How do I install this version? I've looked several places but not having any luck.
This should help you out.

We are using Edify from now on. Every Roms/Kernels/Themes are edify compatible nowadays.

And if they aren't compatible, they haven't been updated in probably a month and are outdated.

It seemed to pop up out of nowhere when Super Clean switched to it. Now I'm seeing themes and such having to be updated to support it. Googling it just brings me to threads here discussing it, but I can't find anything introducing what it is.
It's the new update format introduced and required by CWM 3.
Does that mean a rom using edify must be flashed from CWM 3? Or is it backwards compatible?
Also, do themes with edify work on non-edify roms?
Pretty sure edify only works with 3, and 3 only works with edify.

Edify isnt a rom type. All it is is the type of scripting language that the updater script inside the flashable zips use. So if you still have cwm 2.x you'd still be able to flash stuff that uses the amend scripts. But cwm 3 is edify and edify only. But to really answer your question, as long as the flashable zip's script is written in edify it'll flash as any other would, but only with CWM 3.x

The red cwm from Jt seems to work with amend & edify as well. I upgraded to superclean 2.71 using the red cwm with no problems.
Ya from what I understand from the devs cwm 3.x is only edify while previous versions supported both.
Personally I'm still running 2.x red cwm.
Orange cwm doesn't work either. I don't trust it to do the necessary flashing that the red one can do.
Edify can work with older recoveries, but won't necessarily work, but amend will not work with CWM 3.x.
Also, why do people say that nothing works in the new cwm 3.0? I've flashed a few roms in it with no problems. Sure, stuff may be broken in it, but how is that different from green cwm?

As did I. Interestingly enough I had just flashed that new one a few days before adding 2.7.1, so maybe that's how I skipped whatever problems others are having.
When I want to flash I have to use Odin to flash a cwm.tar file. I wish the orange would work on everything!!!

I went through a couple threads and couldn't really find an answer for this. iif something says "edify only" does that mean i can NOT flash it through CWMR? Or can i? and if i cant use clockworkmod, how do i get "edify". sorry if this is a stupid Noob question
If it says edify only, it basically means that you can use it CWMR3 as well as the 3-31-11 version of CWMR. Basically, before, themers, kernelers, and devs were using the 'amend' script in their .zip flashing code for CWMR. But now, as a way to move on, devs etc and now using the new and improved 'edify' script. Hope that answers it.
Thanks

You can flash both edify and amend in the newest cwm2.5.x and edify only in cwm3.

This from Eugene:
All Scripting will be based on edify from here on ( No amend support )
When you update the zImage, and load Eugene's latest recovery, it will no longer flash other ROMs that are not built the way Eugene has done with his.
This is not a complaint, amend support has been deprecated by Google and the world is moving on. But right now I can't flash anything by EDT or TW without using ODIN to reset everything.
For dev level folks getting around this might be easy, but for a guy like me, it creates a barrier.
So my question for the devs would be, is everyone else planning on moving into edify scripts as well? Will I soon be able to flash GCR3 U7, then Bi-Winning, then Bionix without having to completely re-stock and re-root every time?
When we all move on to gingerbread ,everyone will use amend. It's dependent on the recovery. 2.2 kernels all use amend based recovery.

One way you can get around this is to flash another kernel. I think the stock voodoo kernels in supercurio's voodoo lagfix thread flash using edify but when loaded they support ammed scripts.
Also, bigertime, there is a word mistake in your first sentence. Gingerbread required edify, and you put ammed, just pointing that out so that people don't get confused.

Since Eugene has moved on to greener pastures, I removed his last kernel from my personal gc remix. I replaced the kernel with a version of cwk, replaced the edify scripts with the amend script from gc3.5, and removed the wipe file from the root of the zip, replacing it with the busybox file from gc3.5 in the root of the zip. It makes flashing back and forth to different roms less labor intensive.

Had an idea it was coming, but I'm not going to rehost his rom. The changes are simple enough, plus the specific kernel I am using was never meant to see the light of day, and I swore to its creator it never would through my hands. If you're looking for more specific directions, I can post more later when I get home. The simplest way is to open gc3.7 and gc3.5 in two different 7zip windows, and drag the scripts and busybox files as I described earlier from 3.5 to 3.7, and also the kernel of your choice into the update folder inside the zip. Lmk if you need any more help on that.

so when sg2 comes out? will the devs be using edify or ammend?? curious noob here?
great question androidawg
well, since the SGS II is using GB, and GB REQUIRES edify (no legacy ammend support) then the devs will HAVE to use edify, there isn't any other choice.

Sounds simple enough. But doesn't opening a .zip mean that it needs to be re-signed? I never understood how that works. Moving the files is easy enough.
If you're using cwm, then no resigning is required. That's part of the reason to get cwm.

Youre actually not going to unzip the archive at all. Using 7zip, open the archive (right click-7zip menu-open archive), add and remove the files at your leisure, then close the 7zip window. You can even rename the zip and it will flash without needing to sign it. The latest versions (since january to my knowledge) of cwm dont even check the signature verification. Making it just that easy.

I was looking at VillainRom and it has the Lite versions and full version. Lite is around 120ish mb smaller than full version.
Apologies if it has been covered before but by using "lite difference rom" as keywords in search wasn't much of help.
thanks.
"lite" roms will normally have extra's removed to make it as er, lightweight as possible.
In the case of VR the "lite" rom has pretty much all the samsung stuff removed, and a theme added, I think.
You can make your own "lite" rom by opening (not extracting) the VR zip in winrar, winzip, 7zp, etc and deleting apks you dont want.
If you dont extract it but remove items from the zip as is you wont even need to resign
Oh nice, thanks.
I was frustrated I installed the VR2.0 lite version instead of 2.3.0 version ( i downloaded from the wrong link)
So just wondering because I came from Cognition v1.15 rom which had ninp kernel and CWM, I installed VR 2.0 lite via CWM but looks like I lost super user
On top of that I can't find CWM app in app list. I'm guessing lite version didn't come with that.
So question is if I want to flash CF-root kernel as recommended by dev villainrom, what do I need to do now:
1. boot into CWM and install VR2.3.0
2. flash cf-root via odin
Is that correct?

yes, and then you can update the kernel to ninpo from the cwm app if you want and you will maintain root
There seems to be two lite versions out there,
1. Villainrom 2.3 Lite
2. VillainRom 2.3.0 Official Lite
Could someone please give me a link to the official lite version?
thanks
Or could I be wrong? There is only 1 lite version?

Thanks, just when I was thinking I am indeed a retard, should give up on life and go jump off a cliff.
I read that faq but like I said my question was probably a stupid one but couldn't find answer to it.
So I went on to another rom - Leomar one, its a litter easier to work around with. Thanks anyways.

is there a new version besides 2.5.1.2.
every time i install a theme it gets stuck at vibrant start up screen. i have tried different themes and it has the same result. I'm thinking it's the CWM. any ideas?
The CWR version has zero to do with it. More than likely you are trying to flash themes that are not compatible with your rom.

This is true you need to check as now with GB, and Advanced Froyo as well as standard froyo,,,, different varieties of bootloaders etc. alot of the themes are rom specific. Also,
Try booting into recovery manually by using the vol=/- method this is the best way to get into recovery anyway, if it doesn't work using that method then it never will. BUT 1st thing make sure what you flash is compatible with your Rom
i have the stock rom should i flash a different one?
