Hi
I was wondering if theres a way to switch between cyangen and a stock rom, i want to try out cyangen but it doesnt seem to have enough of the features i regularly use but at the same time i would like to use it for roms only so i can use my ps3 controller with it.
- Going to another ROM from CM7?
You can go back and forth freely between CM7 and other ROMs via ROM Manager or ClockworkMod recovery as the file systems are the same and nandroid backup/restore works to go between ROMs.
That's what it says in the first post of cyanogenmod rom

I know you can do a nandroid backup but i was thinking more along the lines of running it off the sd card or somehow partitioning the system partition so you have 2 of them there. If i did the nandroid way, i would have to keep a large portion reserved for the backup and i would have to do it every time i wanted to play a game which would ruin the life of the flash memory and it would be a pain generally. I saw on All About Android there was an app called boot manager but i dont know if that will work on the SGS II

There is some experimentation with that at the moment, apparently it kinda works, i know there is a thread about it.
Search for boot manager sgs2 or sgs2 dual boot and it should be there.

Think the thread is in themes and apps section, just to narrow it down. Look for multiboot as search term.

thanks found it instantly with that info, Looks like nobody properly tried to get it working and its a paid app so i dont really wanna buy it and find out it doesnt work... Although i guess everyone is in the same boat... I'll see what people do.
Can someone say to me how can i replace an app with update.zip??
I want to replace the music app that is on the phone with another kind of music app... how can i do it?
in this case, you need to forget about update.zip
1. root your phone
2. get a file explorer. like root explorer or astro
3.a. find the .apk file that relates to the app you want to uninstall OR
3.b. use titanium backup to freeze or remove the app
4. install the new one
Which app are you trying to uninstall? and are you sure it's safe to uninstall it?
hope this helps
Sorry, but i know that is possible to do.
In fact, during the first installation of CM7 for the Galaxy GIO, there were a lot of apps, and then the developers released an update (update.zip). When i flashed this zip, the old apps has unistalled and there were new different apps. So?
while updating if u wipe data(factory reset) then all your previous apps will be gone. mostly in updates u need to wipe just cache and dalvik. so the apps will stay. you can use titanium backup to backup your apps + app data and restore them after updating

I'm still confused as to whether u have root and what phone your using ??
(I'm assuming your using the GIO?)
If u have already done what u wanted to do, how did u do it?

i always back mine up on the internal sd card andhave a rom in there just in case..others may do it differently, but there are many options recovery allows you to download from pc via usb... but its better to always have a back up on your internal card in my opinion.. because in some cases you can lose access to the external sd card..just my opinion..just remember to take your time and read/follow instructions VERY carefully!!!:laugh:
sd card
if you dont have room on internal sd card..then yes get an external sd card(you should always have one) and move some stuff over like media..etc

You might be misunderstanding on the sd card, you have an internal sd the phones drive, this is where I put my ROMs to flash. The external sd that you can put into the phone is or can be your backup, I use an external meaning I can remove it, this is where I put my backups of items.
I only use the built in drive internal sd for storage of my ROMs to flash. There are lots of video on this subject, just do a youtube search on the subject.
While we are at it, if you are on a computer check my links in my signature, I have a {General information and Helpful Tips} section for some good reading and the GNote Super page also for all your flashing needs. And you can PM me or just keeping posting lots of good folks around that will help.

Honestly, you need to use the search function. Read everything you can. If you have to ask if you're wrong, you're wrong about something. I know you don't like to hear this, and I also know you don't want to ruin your device. If you don't take the time to read and research, you won't understand the Rom that you flash anyways thus leading to more questions from you that can be solved by searching and you will only annoy the developers and ruin things for everyone because you developed bad habits of wanting things dropped in your lap. No one is here to hold your hand through the process when there's a wealth of information at your fingertips. All of the people that have accomplished flashing their phones have done so without a thread like this begging for a walkthrough. With all due respect, follow the rules because nobody is responsible for damage to your phone, but yourself.
Finally got the rom installed and working...just restoring my apps and data....but it's asking for permissions to install apps for each app...I'm using titanium backup app...thanks a lot u guys...(who ever helped)

I wasn't asking them to thank me. I was reminding them to thank those who helped them. You would know that if you read as per the forum rules. You know what else is part of the forum rules? Using the thanks button. Imagine that. Perhaps you should spend less time trolling me and spend more time watching the Official XDA Welcome video. Seems like you still need it. I'll link it for you so you don't have to search. Don't forget to use the thanks button!

for starters look in the development section and follow each and every instruction to the T.
1.4.3 is annoying to work with from what I hear. You should've just rooted it and installed a custom rom. You wouldn't be dealing with this in the first place...

1.4.3 is pretty easy to root. I had no problems with it at all.
Of course the only thing I did with it was root, install CWM Recovery, and put CM9 on it.

Hello people,
So I had rooted my phone, installed cwm recovery and then installed this custom ROM BouDzDroid v.2 for GT-S5830i on my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i.
Installed from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2061547
I had also created a Titanium backup in case i felt like going back to any of the stock applications.
So the ROM is really cool and all but i lost a major application which i almost can't do without, SWYPE.
So i restored using my titanium backup but its not working properly, this message keeps showing, "process com.swype.android.inputmethod has stopped unexpectedly". I tried going to cwm and fixing permissions but it still doesn't work.
I really want Swype back. Can you guys tell me what to do? Like can someone make a Swype patch for this that i can install on this ROM?

You should have asked this question in BouDzDroid's thread or in Question and Answer section... Now you know for the next time
Anyway, for your question, you can try a 3rd-party app like SwiftKey or TouchPal Keyboard for swipe keyboard function - they use less space than stock Swype.apk

that's because, if a keyboard is not in the internal memory, you have to set it as your keyboard every time, anyway if you want you can move it to your sd card with Link2SD.

I wouldn't recommend move keyboards, launchers to link2SD, when I had swype in my SD took years to show up than in the internal.

ok i had similar problem like yours. heres the solution.
Swype app may should be in System not in Internal or Sd, and you must add LIB files to System if you want that to be working otherwise it always will be force closing.
1.Change extension of Swype.apk to Swype.zip
2.Open that archive and extract LIB files which have .so
3.change Swype.zip to Swype.apk
4.Move Swype.apk to System/App
5.Move Extracted Lib Files to System/Lib
6.Reboot and Enjoy
