Before I start, I've been looking around the forums for the past 2 days and I couldn't find a definitive answer so I made and account and decided to post this
This is my first time trying to install a custom ROM. I'm trying to install the CM6 Froyo ROM and I'm a bit unsure of which version to download and how to install the hotfixes. I have xRecovery installed and a backup of the stock ROM and I'm not really sure where to go from there. If someone could give me a quick guide and explain which version to pick and how to install hotfixes I would be really grateful
I have the Mini Pro with 2.1.1.A.0.6 FW and the M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 baseband.
Thanks in advance.

This ROM is for the Mini Pro only
10. After you have your apps and data back make a new xrecovery backup and start checking overclocking, undervolting and optional fixes.
9. Reboot into xrecovery and make a backup of your new rom. Then you can start reinstalling your applications and restoring data.
8. Follow instructions in this post to adjust keyboard light and after you're done reboot again.
Keyboard Light and Automatic Display Info: Please see here
7. Reboot. First boot takes a long time. Be patient. When the new rom is up, i suggest you navigate to cm settings - performance settings - cpu settings and check max cpu frequency. If it is more than 600mhz, lower it to 600 until you finish setting up you phone. You can test higher values and undervolting later when everything is done. Reboot again.
6. Choose install custom zip, find folder with downloads and install this hotfix.
MiniCM v3.0 | [HOTFIX] Build.Prop fixed thanks to Kewie
5. Choose install custom zip, find folder with downloads and install this hotfix.
MiniCM v3.0 | [HOTFIX] Hacked Market thanks to shokmah and WLAN Hotfix thanks to bitmovel!!
4. Again choose install custom zip, find folder with downloads and install this hotfix.
MiniCM v3.0 | [HOTFIX] Incoming Call Slider fixed
3. Choose install custom zip and navigate to the folder with your downloaded zips. Install rom.
MiniCM v3.0 MD5: 670EBE1826A66645A08437F190466E2A
2. Boot into xrecovery and do a factory reset to wipe everything (data, cahce, etc)
1. Backup your apps and data with titanium bacup.
0. Download version 3 rom and hotfixes from links in the steps above. Write down the names of the files. Print out instructions from step 8.

Here is how i do it. Read from bottom up.
That was exactly what I needed thank you! I will let you know how I get on
EDIT: Also just before I begin, I have a backup of my sms + contacts etc from the stock SE Backup and Restore app. Will this work on this ROM or what are my options? (I reflashed my phone to stock FW using SEUS so everythings gone, I only have the .sbf backup on my PC)
I'll wait for a reply before I flash this ROM 'cos I don't want to have done it only to find out I have to revert to stock to get all my contacts and messages back :/ lol
EDIT: Anyone?
I don't remember if this rom has se backup&restore app installed, but i think you can download it from se website.
Edit: I haven't used it, because i always keep my contacts on sim card and i didn't need to keep messages.
If you make an xrecovery backup of your se rom before you start installing custom rom, and then find out that you can't get you contacts&messages back, you can always use that backup to come back to se rom and it will have those contacts and messages.

I read somewhere that the apk won't install since it's not an official SE ROM? :/ So I'm not sure what to do. Anyone able to confirm or disconfirm this? If not, is there any other way to back it up before I install it?

Backup contacts using the stock backup option in the 'contacts' then backup sms using the 'sms backup and restore app' from market. Then flash new rom and install the sms backup app again and hit restore. I don't know if wil work because I only have the mini not the mini pro

Ok, so I've flashed the custom ROM about 10 times now trying to get backups and messages accross lol. I got it to work, but 4500 messages being imported at once was causing some serious issues so I've just decided to leave the messages and I used a vCard backup to save my contacts and import them again . I understand a lot of stuff now about various things with ROM's Thanks to both of you for your help, it has really helped me get started
Great you managed to install it! Enjoy it!
The process for new roms coming with CWMrecovery shouldn't be too different, if you ever want to try those.
Thanks! Right now I think I'll stick with this ROM for the time being I bought Launcher Pro Plus and Widget Locker as well so I'm going to have some fun customizing this Btw you wouldn't happen to know the name of a widget, it's like a digital clock drawn with like pencils or something. Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9300605&postcount=120
The clock widget?
I think that's beautiful widgets, but ask shivenjuneja, he might have customized it.
Yeah beautiful widgets checked a few screenshots and thats what it was! Also, I don't think shivenjuneja did customize it, I've seen it on a few screenshots looking like that, just no name D: lol Thanks Again!
Edit: Actually! It's weather widgets with the dirty paper skins! :O lol
Edit: Also, he must have edited or got it when it was for beautiful skins because the one now looks crap :/ bit of a waste, but thanks anyway :L
Here's what my phone looks like now
Nice! Great background! Slade has just released v4.0 of this rom that can be installed from xrecovery or cwmrecovery
I think i'll give it a try one of these days.
Thanks! I might give it a try maybe today or after these exams for the next two weeks D:

Hi all,
This is my first post and my first thread, so please don't flame at me.
Well I want to run FreeX10 BETA 4 and the Android Generic FW 2.1 at the same time. I have had a look around, and it seems like that it is possible but I'm having trouble.
If anyone wants to help me, please PM me for my MSN, or post below.

Hello -
Did you figure out how to do this?
Thanks.
What you would do is make a backup of both roms in xrecovery, and then you would just restore whichever backup you wanted to use at that time!
So can I say -
1) Root my current 2.1 Eclair
2) Install XRecovery
3) Backup current 2.1 via XRecovery
4) Install Custom ROM 2.2
5) Backup 2.2 via XRecovery
Now you have two backups and you can switch between 2.1 and 2.2 via XRecovery Restore option. Is this correct?
Thanks.

Yes, you can switch between them.. But it's not really dual boot.. Wouldn't it be a bit time consuming to do the reinstall of the fw each time you want to switch?

If if and only if 5 minutes is time consuming. Cause that's seriously about how long it takes to switch.
And also to the OP. Remember that you want both of them set up exactly how you want them and don't change it because unless you make a new backup, what you add or change in between wont stay when you restore.

Guys I need some help hopefully you can clear some questions I got.
If I do a a full system wipe with xrecovery, dalvik cache and battery stats.
Is it going to delete a previously saved backup?
cause Im trying to install froyo on my x10 and already got a full system backup of my 2.1 using xrecovery but im not sure if I got the correct steps to do it.
What Im trying to do basically is get 2 backups to switch between em when needed.
when you do a backup its storred in sdcard under /sdcard/xrecovery(recovery)/backup/<date based name>
also wiping all stat and /data /cache will clear all your ROM related data from your phone.
So basically wich steps would be the correct ones to follow in order to get 2 backups so I can switch between when needed,without bricking my phone?
you won't brick your phone
i don't know why you bother, its gonna take 5 min for each changeover, and assuming you'll make no progress in between each change, but then, no you don't need to wipe anything. Sigh, here are the steps: Just back up and then install, then back up that one, and then restore which ever you need. Also, just to make sure, your backups are located under sdcard/xrecovery/backup . So you don't screw up the md5 check, if your gonna rename it, don't put any spaces.

I downloaded matted blue theme earlier today and installed. I didn't like it. So after that I downloaded and installed the steel blue theme which I don't even know if that one is working right because the icons aren't different. Anyways I downloaded and installed the theme and didn't uninstall the matted blue theme because I wasn't sure how to.....now my Gmail wont load it keeps force closing and for some reason there is 2 text message apps that neither can't be uninstalled and I am getting double the texts at once....does anyone have any ideas to help please. I tried going into the removable drive via USB to computer and just deleting the folder that in boot menu I tried to update.zip and it said it was looking for drive e: and couldn't find anything....I am lost and fairly annoyed please help.
Deders *****es!!!!!!!
Why dont you reflash a SBF?
Use the un-theme CWM (found in the apps theme forum) zip. Or the deodexed CWM zip (found in the Dev forum). Some themes, such as MattedBlues, include themed apps, which won't be overwritten if the new theme doesn't include them. A tip to theme users: always check whats included inside the zip and backup your files. I personally did a complete backup after deodexing and before installing any themes so I'll never have to reflash an sbf.
I hate to say this but I don't know how to do that
Did a back up earlier today and am running it now well see what happens
im running back up now, can I ask you how to do that?
I hate to say this but even if you can swim you should first test the water.
I assume you know how to use the CWM zips since you've already flashed themes. I also assume you are deodexed since those themes applied correctly.
The deodex zip is the same as GladiAtrix or GingerBlur only minus the themes, they both convert an odex system to a deodex system.
Flashing the deodexed CWM will return you to a "fresh" system. The un-theme CWM is the same thing but it only resores the files themers go after. I would first try the un-theme CWM as the full deodex CWM may cause a few easily recoverable issues, such as unroot.
So my suggestion is flash this CWM first to return you to "stock". Then flash the theme of your choosing.
Good luck.
Hey thank you so much I did a restore, for a lil bit there I wasn't able to get into the boot loader. I appreciate it alot though I prolly will use that theme unloader quite a bit
ouch dude this was A VERY EASY FIX... all you had to do was go to manage apps click on gmail and clear data that fixes gmail. then just use titanium backup and uninstall one of the messaging apps(i specifically uninstalled "messaging 2.2.1")...
P.S. Nottach maybe you can add this bit of info in your post for the theme
Thnx a lot that was a huge help. I just got done backing everything up with TB....that really is a awesome app. And for the thread post idea thank you twice sir. May I ask what u replaced your messaging app. With ? And you didn't cause any instability in ur system hy deleting that message 2.2.1.? Since I'm guessing you removed the one that came with the rom. Thnx again.
Deders *****es!!!!!!!
I've had no preblems or instability issues since you're still left with a messaging app
Oh, well since I did a restore on my phone I have only the one message app. 2.2.1. Crazy stuff for real
Deders *****es!!!!!!!
So to clarify, the un theme cwm will work with the 2.1.1 ?

Pretty simple question, i want to upgrade to the latest build by mik. Will this basically wipe everything that isnt on my SD card ? i.e. everything on my desktop, all my settings, all my apps etc.
thanks.
Yes, you will have to wipe everything...
If you want, you can backup your data with apps like "Titanium Backup" or something like those...
U will lost all ur settings,sms,contacts,apps..nd u will lost ur data in sd bcoz u hv to do partition for aps2sd..Its recommrnded to do backup of all ur apps,contacts,sms,nandroid before flashing
oh ok. so ill install apps2sd, move all my apps across, backup contacts and what i can with titanium , flash.
what is this google sync business with contacts ??
so i just flashed to the latest, and its booted back in, and everything is still on my desktop ? like nothing got erased.
i did a full batch titanium backup. did it automatically restore everthing ? even my desktop settings ?? im lost

Haha so luckily you got me and my patience on your thread lol and you questions are simple yeah but not short to answer!
For your question, yes! flashing any rom will exactly wipe EVERYTHING on your phone.
BUT IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM OLDER VERSIONS OF MIK'S 2.3 ROM, it will NOT wipe anything except your google/facebook accounts information.
By the way, for the manual action of "wiping", it depends what android version you are at.
If you are using Froyo 2.2 NOW, yes wipe everything on the list of your custom recovery.
If you are using Gingerbread 2.3 NOW, then you dont have to wipe anything except [cache] and [dalvik cache]. <- You must wipe these two!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I dont get what you mean by "install apps2sd". But whatever you shouldn't do that before flashing a rom. If you mean the Non-froyo App2SD+ (What the hell is non-froyo a2sd?), you should flash it AFTER you have flashed the rom in order to let it activate in the new rom.
Yes. backup all the things with titanium is necessary.
For the google contacts syncing. It is a service provided by Google and it is for you to sync the contacts between your Gmail and your phone. So you can view all your contacts anywhere. You can sync your contacts to gmail and then after rom flashing, the contacts are gone. Simply login back to gmail with the newly flashed rom and then click auto-sync. All of your contacts will be back after a couple of minutes.
But remember one extra point, its sort of a new feature in gingerbread but BE SURE TO UNTICK THE OPTION OF "BACKUP MY DATA ETC TO MY GOOGLE ACCOUNT" after you login your gmail with android 2.3. Why? It actually doesn't backup your data (well for me, i couldnt see it anywhere) but DUPLICATES YOUR MESSAGES WITH NO REASON!

IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM ANDROID 2.2 FROYO
NO. After you flash, every single thing will be GONE COMPLETELY. You will have to perform a titanium batch restore to get everything back in order.
IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM ANDROID 2.3 GINGERBREAD (older versions of mik's rom)
Then Yes everything is still on your "desktop" (I think you meant launcher) and ALL SETTINGS WILL REMAIN. However in some cases, home screen widgets will have problems and you will have to place them again. Information in widgets (such as your city for weather widgets, your to-do-list widgets) are NOT BE ABLE TO BACK UP USING TITANIUM OR ANY OTHER METHODS. So make sure you have written down what you have wrote in your widgets!
And finally if you have missed or made mistakes in any step, dont panic! You can always restore your phone back with KDZ UPDATER (Picture guide in this link)!
And when you are using mik's rom, and you would like to have a try on franco.Kernel which provides excellent performance, dont forget to discuss them in the thread The fantastic combination of mik_os' CM7 and franco.Kernel!!
Hope I was clear enough and if any parts of my post have helped you, dont forget to hit the thanks button at the bottom of my post
Good luck! Happy playing with mik's roms!
Thanks alot, makes it clearer.
I will definitely put francos kernel on, the phone still could do with some imporvement in performance.
next thing i need to learn about is the launcher. is it essentially just the UI ?

erm for the launcher its totally simple - ur phone can have multiple launchers, but you usually only use one. and they gives you the app drawer and some screens for you to place your shortcuts and widgets. how are they? what are their performances? differ on different launchers. they all can simple be found on the market, and after installation you will be able to choose the one you want to use, by clicking the home button.
ADW launcher and Launcher Pro being the most famous ones and you may try GO Launcher as some people are using and appreciating it too.
new users if i have given some help you know what to do and happy androiding.

## be very careful, some of the folders contain very important things from your previous activities.
1. Your download folder contains all your downloads from your browser
2. Your whatsapp folder contains your chat history
Etc.
Before you wipe your internal SD, I'll advise you to backup the ones you feel are important.

Great, I erased my sd card and problem solved, flashed gapps and got everything ...
Some questions which have nothing to do with this:
1) How can i get touch recovery ? just open up rom manager and tap "flash clockwork mod recovery touch"? or is there another better way to do this ?
2) Is there any way so that when i get a SMS or a missed call, something will notify me on the screen that i have a new sms or missed call ? (i had this on stock ics, but when i flashed cm9 it just dissappeared.). Reason i need this: Sometimes i dont hear my ringtone and it is kind of annoying to have to unlock and bring down the notification bar just to check if i have something new.

1. Never use ROM manager on your phone. In fact, Disable or Remove the app at once. It is a very risky app, which has led to brick on many Galaxy S2 already.
# If you want touch recovery, you can flash Siyah kernel, Dorimanx kernel or Dream kernel. they all come with touch recovery.
2. Use a third party launcher. The default launcher (Trebuchet) lack this feature.
Holo launcher HD, Apex launcher Nova launcher, Go launcher EX, etc all have this function implemented

1) cant i just download the cwm touch from here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager and just flash it through my current non-touch CWM ?
2) I thought such a simple feature was integrated onto the rom but ok, i'll try those options.
oh and is there anyway to go back to my stock ics keyboard ? the buttons and letters are kind of small on cm9.
thanks
Thanks

You may use that. It should work fine but I must tell you that I've never used that method before. I always use custom kernels
2.a. that's because the launcher in development by the CM team.
b. If you are looking for Samsung keyboard, You can't have. Sorry about that but there are better keyboard apps in the market with some of them having the option to change the theme to the Samsung keyboard style.
