Since the new MIUI just came out, can we backup from CM7 and flash the MIUI with no problems with it being the same partition? I really eant to try out the MIUI rom.

I am currently on the SS-10 Miui rom for the vibrant. I was wondering if I am able to back my current state and flash a 2.2 Froyo rom without any problems. If I were to backup both, would I be able to go between each backups without any hiccups? Thank you.
Miui comes with a back up app made specifically for backing up miui.
And to answer your main question ....absolutely NOT....wont happen,can't do it.
But you can try what you like....I see odin in your near future
When coming from MIUI you have to odin back to stock before flashing a froyo rom. And restoring backups between those two aren't possible anyways because rom manager backups don't include the kernel or the modem.

thank youu
alright, I have a friend with a vibrant and i have rooted her phone so that i could make a NAND for her. i want to flash a rom for her and i have decided on either CM7 or MIUI and i'm leaning more towards MIUI so i was wondering which of the Vibrant MIUIs is the best. I've seen quite a few in the Bible but can't really decipher much of a difference between each of them and even the official MIUI. so any sugestions?
I'm also open to suggestion for any other roms. And if you flash from a Froyo to GB rom, do you have to ODIN bootloaders?
in my experience miui lithium 4 seems to work the best cause battery life is better than most gb roms and is smooth and stable with tons of customization. You don`t really need gb bootloaders (i never flashed them cause if you screw up then your phone will be brickd)
hope that helped

Is there an ODINable GB stock rom with the bootloaders?

i don`t think there is but don`t take my word for it
I wouldn't mess with bootloaders on your female friends phone without her permission, as that's one of the very few ways you can completely kill a phone.
Anyway, if CM7 and MIUI are your popular choices, fear not. Only ROMs based on i9000 International Galaxy S leaks require Gingerbread bootloaders. MIUI and CM7 are built from the ground up.
Since this phone is going to a girl, I would definitely go with MIUI. The theming available will blow her mind.
There are 4 different MIUI variants for the Vibrant. The stock MIUI for the Vibrant, the stable Revamped SS version, the more experimental Lithium version (same creator as SS. Lithium is the ROM where he tests things), and finally there is the stock MIUI with the Enhancer Mod flashed over it.
If you want the least fuss + features, I recommend using the SS version. All the good tweaks, and very stable.
Thanks for the advice. Is stared out on a Vibrant but never flashed anything custom to it and then i got fthe SGS4G where you need the correct bootloaders to access recovery so i wasnt sure if it was the same for the Vibrant. When i flash MIUI, can i do a CWM data restore or should i just use Titanium Backup, etc. to backup and restore through that?

When you first flash MIUI, it'll install the stock MIUI kernel which should give you ClockWorkMod 5, with all the toys normally associated with ClockWorkMod. The only catch is that MIUI as well as CM7 will change your file system to yaffs2, so the only way to return to a non MIUI/CM7 ROM is to ODIN back to stock. You can't restore a Froyo backup because the backup uses the wrong file system and you'll get boot loops.
Anyway, to answer your question, yes. You can backup files and apps the same as with any other ROM using Titanium manager or an equivalent program. MIUI even has it's own backup called MIUI backup that is often recommended over Titanium Backup by developers.
Oh, but of course don't restore any system apps you picked up from earlier ROMs. That'll royally screw up MIUI. Just 3rd party apps.
if I restore my phone back to stock via my nandroid backup, will it go back to 2.3.4? knowing this would greatly help me, because I'd like to flash the newest CM7 RC1, right now I have RC0
A nandroid does not change the kernal.

As I recall if you are on cm7 rc0 you can flash cm7 rc1 over it, just as you can flash cm9 over cm7 rc1. And all btw are based on the 2.3.4 kernel. Now if you flash a rom that uses the 2.3.5 kernel and you want to get back to the 2.3.4 or vice-a-versa it's sbf time.
And if I got it wrong its because of old age or medication or something...lol as with any major changes your planning for your phone educate yourself first.

hmm, it says 2.3.7 in "about phone"
however, it was 2.3.4 before I got cm7
is it 2.3.7? or is that just what it says?
thanks for any help you all can provide
If your on cm7dx2 rc0 you can flash cm7dx2 rc1 over it with no problems. Just make sure to reflash gapps and your good. Also the 2.3.7 thing is just from the build prop edit if you are on cm7dx2 you are on actual 2.3.4 kernel.

thanks everyone, I was able to update it with no problem
I just rooted my DX2, i intended to use rom manager to flash/backup my roms but that was not working. So i downloaded bootstrap (the little green arrow icon) and used that to make a backup of my stock system and then used titanium backup to backup all my apps.
What i wanted to know is when i finally install a new rom and do a data wipe how do i recover everything if it starts me with a clean phone? do i just reinstall titanium and bootstrap and will SU still be installed?
Also can you point me to a good guide on installing CM9 to my DX2?
Thank you,
Jake
A couple of things. What system version are you on? 2.3.4 or 2.3.5? Also Rom Manager doesnt work for us (as you know now.) Are you using the BSR from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318083 ?
When you install a ROM yes you reinstall the BSR (but if you are going on CM7-9-10 then you need the CM7 patched BSR once on the ROM.) and then Redownload Titanium Backup. All your backups are stored on your external card so a wipe doesnt get rid of them. Once titanium is loaded back up it will find them.
A rom comes rooted so SU and everything is part of the package. Install instructions for ROMS are on the original page of the ROMS. Just note that if you are on 2.3.5 the only ROM that will work for you is Eclipse. All the other ROMs are 2.3.4 based.

I am on 2.3.5, is eclipse a good rom?
Thanks,

Eclipse is a very stable and clean ROM. I used it for a long time. CM7 is also stable and a.lot.more customizable but you will need to SBF to 2.3.4 to get on it. Both eclipse and CM7 are gingerbread roms. Cm9, MIUI, AOKP Paranoid Android are ICS and CM10 is jellybean.

Thanks for recommending Eclipse, its a really awesome ROM. At some point i plan to SBF to 2.3.4 for CM10, but for now Eclipse is better than stock.
Thank you,

:laugh:
Eclipse is rock solid. CM10 will get more stable eventually.

Hi all,
It is my first post.
I used Bionix-V FishmanMod ROM for more than a year.
I wanted to upgrade to CM10.1. So, I flashed CM7.2, made a nandroid backup and flashed CM10.1.
The CM10.1 drains my battery.
I want to test the CM7.2 ROM.
How to downgrade to CM7.2 without Odin to stock? I read (at Defy forum) that need to change file extension to ext3.
Should I do this on Vibrant too?
Can I just restore the CM7.2 backup?
Thanks
try flashing a cm7 kernel before restoring your cm7.2, if that doesnt work you may have to use odin.
