Yup, although not a dev myself, i'm very sure the framework and other system stuff won't match.. You'll end up RSD Lite'ing your phone back to stock for sure..

A bad Metamorph's unlikely to be *that* bad. Make a nandroid (boot, system, data, cache) before you try. If boot gets stuck/looped, hold volume up while powering on to reenter OpenRecovery and restore the backup.

I would think that the froyo services.jar with the white clock might not work(?)

If you have purchased a PC in the last few years, it has a portion of your harddrive partitioned off, and in that partition is software to restore your computer. It includes a menu of options, plus the windows software to allow you to rebuild your computer. Amon Ra is the same basic thing for your phone.
To see if you have it, hold the volume-up button while your phone powers up. You should get a menu (green print) with a list of options to flash an update, backup & restore, reboot, wipe, and install a zip. This is the recovery menu. You can & should make a full system backup first thing, in case you mess something up later. Then you can use this menu to install new ROMs, or restore from an old backup.
Instead of Amon Ra, you might have Clockwork recovery instead. They both pretty much do the same thing. I personally like Amon.
Oh Aright. Well that happens but I don't know which one I have ha. Thanks.

Next time I reboot ill look at mine to see how to ID it. I'm too ADHD to remember...
Sent from my ERIS using XDA App
I just looked but I can't remember it all (old age setting in).
Anyway, amon's at the bottom says something like "Build: RA v1.6.2"

It doesn't have the google apps as part of the rom.
Quoting Conap: "Please flash the googleapps for froyo after flashing rom. This google apps will fix the google goggles issue...
Google Apps Make sure you get the mdpi file."
I have axura 2.0.5, when the new rom comes out how will I go about updating to 2.0.6?

Odin back to stock then flash new rom cause I'm not sure when master is putting updates in rom manager
Still flashing , thanks to odin & tw
Thanks, do any ROMs use the OTA update?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Not that I know of but pretty soon I'm sure most of the devs will make updates available through there cause a lot of them have there own sites and are slowly pulling away from xda to an extent so it just seems that would be a natural step
Still flashing , thanks to odin & tw
I appreciate the info Will. I just downloaded 2.0.6 and I guess I will have to wait until I get home to use odin and reflash!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
You do not need to ODIN back... just flash away. You are on 2.0.5 and there were very little changes for .6.
2.1 is going to be a much bigger jump.
Regarding having his ROMs show in Rom Manager... Master and Koush are working to get it to show up. Master has submitted some things to koush on his github I believe... not certain who needs to take what action.
Should I back up current rom, or wipe data & cache before flashing 2.0.6?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Always make a backup.
The rom will wipe data automatically when you flash it.
Because of this, you should use titanium backup to save all of your apps/data so you can restore them easily.
Already titanium backed up everything. this is what the ROM Manager pops up with when I click on the axura file.

Go to clockwork recovery and try installing it that way

Ahh, you can install this way too.
If you do not have a nandroid backup then yes, check backup. No need to wipe data.
It'll reboot into recovery, backup, then flash the rom.
Most of us reboot to cwr manuallt to flash.

Only works on Froyo ROMs I believe. You could flash one or restore one, program it or activate it there, then flash back to IHO.
would recovering from clockwork on the backup den reflashing help

I don't understand what you're saying. Boot into recovery mode (power off, hold vol-down, home, & power until LG logo), then backup current ROM, wipe cache,dalvik cache, & format, & flash a stock or froyo ROM that has the "activate" feature. Reboot into the newly flashed ROM, activate or do the "##" codes. Then boot into recovery again and restore the backed up ROM & reboot into it.
When I upgraded to iho I had to back up the ogrignal froyo rom my question bein that can I restore that froyo rom from clockworkrecorvery since its really hard for me to get computer access?

yes. that is the easiest way to restore whatever backup.
you'll have to format data, cache, and dalvik cache between restoring backups of different roms.
I've been trying to get CM7 on my X2 unsuccessfully for about two hours, here's the process I took.
I saved all my stuff, and erased everything on the phone using the Android Recovery. I went back to 2.3.4 using RSDlite, then Root using Pete's Tool and installed OTA Protect. I then installed Bootstrap, installed recovery, went to recovery mode, installed CM7, and then GAPPs. Now, I wipe data, clear the cache, clear the davlik cache, and reboot. Now, this is where I just get stuck at the M Dual Core Technology Screen.
I searched the forum for answers, but I couldn't really my problem. It seems CM7 just isn't booting for me. I have tried this 2-3 times already, please help me out!
Why did you install ota protect? And make sure you are properly rooted and that the sbf worked... check your about phone screen to make sure... all I know is to sbf again and start from the beginning.
Edit: also did you install the patched bsr.apk for cm7?

I've had to sbf more thwn once to get my X2 to get up and running. I would say to try and sbf again and instal the patched CM7 BSR. If u have any other questions, u can always pm me and ill do my best to help u outout
STEEL BLUE CM9X2
SBF 2.3.4
Root phone
Install regular BSR
Flash CM and Gapps
Wipe data (not cache DATA)
Boot CM
Load BSR for CM7
You CAN NOT boot CM with regular BSR loaded , hence the wipe Data before booting.

So, i performed a nandroid backup so i wouldnt get screwed later down the road and all went well. Went to reboot now and no go, just sits on the big M. What is the problem. So many problems lately with this....
Just do a battery pull. If that doesn't work get into recovery and clear cache.
Sent from my MB870 using xda app-developers app
i did the battery pull, cleared cach and dalvick, let it sit for 10 minutes and nada from anything. Anything else i should try. If i format wipe data am i able to flash the nandroid i made
The only other things I can suggest are a data wipe or sbf. If you opt to do the sbf you may as well do the data wipe first and see if that fixes it. If so you can potentially restore the nandroid you just made without going through the hassle of sbf.

What rom are you running ? If cm9..make sure you are using the cm7 patched bootstrap recovery ...I made the mistake of not swapping to it after flashing to cm9, did a nandroid and had the exact problem....all you have to do is flash your nandroid you just made and then flash cm9 again......it will boot up again with nothing lost....but may act crazy like its running things on its own.....just shutdown and reboot and you'll be good to go.....then install the patched cm7 recovery and you'll never have the problem again.
