Hi All,
Is there a way to back up the ROM/firmware on the phone before upgrading?
Thanks.
but why?
you do know that your rom is not uniqe it's 100% the same thing as any other rom with the same brand and same version nr
if you don't like the rom you try out you can just flash it with the same brand / version rom you got and you're back to square one
otherwise check out the wiki for more backup info
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Himalaya
The reason why I want to back up my original ROM/XDA installation is because after reading a lot of information regarding ROMs, they all seem to be customised and bloated with stuff I don't want/need.
Ideally, I just want to be able to upgrade the OS, and not have to worry about any tweaks or other programs someone has put into their ROM.
Thanks for the link, I've had a look. I was hoping that someone would already have a ROM but as you have said, a lot of customisation by the operators.
all roms here and in the wiki I linked to are not cooked the official ones like the one you already use are available too
since 2006 I´m using Custom ROMs from this Site
meanwhile i´m not flasing only my own Mobiles ,
I was never dissapointed!
....and I think you will not Missing ANYTHING from your Original ROM
well,except you have the Time to Drink a Cup of Coffee ....while waiting
for Response of the Original Branded ROM
The only thing worthy for backup..are your own Files !!
hey guys sorry if im asking noob question here. im new to the samsung thread area. im used to x and inc.
just recently got this for my wife. been rooted. and thats it. im wanting well, shes wanting to stay on stock side but not too deep with custom rom. i was wondering if anybody had the file or link to a deoxed version of this 2.2 fascinate i could flash over? im not really familliar with dl30 or etc and i dont' know which is the recent 2.2 doexed version. any help would be great. or any rom thats close to stock and deoxed. thx again.
ps. what the heck is voodoo? are we talking about that new digital copy deal or ?
Here's a link to what you asked for:

This belongs in general. You should really use the search function.

Do all of this, except instead of flashing the ROM in that thread, flash this deodexed ROM (same one that chameleo78 linked to). http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20950916/EB0...xed-signed.zip
And Voodoo is a lagfix. Stock Galaxy S phones use the RFS file system, but if you flash a Voodoo kernel it makes the file system EXT4, which improves read and write speeds.
thx for the response guys!!! drop box if over loading so ill wait until it comes back online. thx
Hello guys, I was just wondering whether there are any themesout working for the stock ROM. I actually want to change my taskbar look without modifying the whole ROM. I have rooted my phone and installed the mik_os kernel (God bless him).
Any suggestions?
As far as i know... that involves working through odexed files and since if you change the stock color... you'll have to setup the text colors too and THAT is the real pain in the ass if you have no ideia how to do it! (like meeeeee )
Even with tutorials for unexperienced ppl it basically involves you messing with the stock rom and deodex the specific files afecting the status bar and it's texts like the Framework ALL BY HAND! too much hassle if you're a noob, like me!
Basically you can't put themes that change the system setup without "deodexing" the ROM files you have to! That means you would be, in a way, "coocking" your own rom! and therefore it would not be a "stock" rom any longer!
Easiest solution is to get a custom rom that best suits your needs and with said theme you want OR.... make a nand backup of your ROM and go learn how to change and edit the files you need to place a new theme on your ROM and... flash it!?
Last case scenario but highly improbable... get ahold of your current ROM version, the official ROM for your specific phone model and ask somebody you may know or learn it how to do it your self and after you work it out! flash it!
I think there ARE videos on youtube about it but like i said... it's NO amateur stuff believe me!
Either Way remember to always backup your current ROM in case something goes wrong you can always restaure it!
I just installed a custom rom onto my AT&T Thrive/P506 for the first time, and everything is coming up with weird graphical glitches/colors.
I've tried both the CM7 and devoid ROMs, but both are doing the same thing. The initial LG screen looks fine, but once the ROM loads I only get a weird blue/green screen. I followed the directions as stated. It appears as though a graphics driver or something is not being installed properly.
Has anyone seen this before? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I am in the same boat. Can anyone help please !!!
Btw Dangelone, what does your phone model say in About Phone.
I have the same problem to. I kept the stock rom and flashed the kernel and i got the same thing too. Im starting to think it's just the kernel that messes up the screen.
Anyone got a rom that works for the LG thrive P506? Most roms give messed up color display but functions all work.
I hope someone at least tries to make one, I can't because I have no idea where to start. I'm starting to think that the devs wouldn't even want to try since this is a lower-end Android phone and that they higher-end ones are more exciting. But for the goodwill of the community maybe there will be one good person who will attempt to make a fully functional custom rom for us LGP506 owners.
backup ur stock kernel, flash custom rom, then restore stock kernel?
Anyone know where I can find one? I see the older ones might not work with the new NT OS upgrade. I tried to look around for one but I am a bit of a novice and didnt want to brick my tab. Any advice?
ALso, I plan on using CM9 as my custom rom so one that might work with that as well? Thanks so much!
