ROM manager not showing many ROMS - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
As the title says really it only shows 16 roms and i'm not sure they're all roms.
cheers

Don't use ROM Manager with SGS2, it's not compatible.

You got lucky. It's known to brick devices and bootloop them. Its up to you though if you use it or not.
As far as recommending you a rom, I would say root box, but just know posting a 'what is the best____" is against the rules, just for future reference.

Sorry mate, didn't mean what's the best I just meant what app would you use instead, or would you just flash the old fashioned way?

I would just do it the old fashioned way. You have less of a chance to mess up (if you have any idea what you're doing)

Never use Rom manager. The safest way is the old fashioned, Cwm way!

The way I would do it is to D/L the ROM from XDA put it on the root of my SD card, boot in to recovery mode, back up the current rom, clear cache, clear dalvik cache, wipe data, find the rom and install, reboot.
Sound ok?

Steps to upgrade to latest CyanogenMod

Hi: I've been enjoying using the CyanogenMod for a couple of months now and love it. Thanks to all who created it and continue to improve it.
I simply want to upgrade to the latest stable version. Here's what I "think" I need to do. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could verify the same.
1) put zipped flash onto root of SD Card
2) Backup phone using Titanium Backup
3) Power off phone and choose "recovery" shut-down option
4) Choose zipped flash from sdcard
5) Wait for flash to complete
The other options on the reboot menu include among other things: Wipe, Mounts, Other. I've read in other post that it's a good idea to wipe dalvick-cache. Should I do so - and am I missing anything else?
If there's already a thread out there that walks one through these steps, I was unable to find it - but would appreciate being pointed to the same.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Since you are just upgrading from earlier cm7 rom, you just need to wipe cache and dalvik cache, nothing else

Unless you are updating from a previous version of CM, you should always do a full wipe. Take backups of your sms, contacts, etc.

If you are goin' from froyo or other ROM you have to wipe ALL. It means Data (format system)/Cache/Dalvik Cache/BattStats . If you are goin' from earlier CM7 then wipe Cache/Dalvik cache/battstats.

I have meanrom v. 0.6, do I have to install v.0.7 or any other before installing v. 1.0 ??

Nope, you can wipe cache/dalvik and flash 1.0.
And the rom wipes the caches upon flash so you don't even really need to do that, but its a good habit to get into.

If you look on the mean rom thread, the developer of that rom has an installation posted for how to install each update. It also helps to ask questions in that thread, because you get a lot of users of that rom to answer questions like this, and it is a good community. I hope I have helped.
Figure this will be a good place to ask my question. how to i backup my launcher/layout if i want to wipe before flashing?

Little off topic but... I know you can use 'MyBackup Root' to backup your homescreens. Not something I make a habit of doing but it does work. You'll have to re add your widgets but it will restore most everything else.

You can back it up in titanium backup. It is a free app in the play store. Just back up [DESKTOP] HTC sense. If you are using a third party launcher then back up the app in titanium back up.

If you're flashing mean rom on top, all you need to do is dirty flash (no wiping) and all your apps, setup and even launcher/layout will be the same

if i may ask, why should i not make a habit of this. i just don't want to re-configure all of my launcher settings/layout.

Flashing through CWM help!! (solved)

Hi there, I just started flashing a couple months ago and all is great. When I first started flashing I used cwm to flash a ROM. I would clear data then clear cache then afterwards flash the ROM and would work flawlessly.
Now as I try to do that (trying to flash a brand new ROM), Everytime I try to cleardata or cache on cwm my phone would freeze there, therefore I couldn't properly set up my phone for a new ROM.
Any ideas or solution I can do to fix this? Greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

You will not lose anything. Unless you fubar the phone some how.
Yea I had the same issue about a month ago. The only thing that worked for me was using Odin to put me back to stock gingerbread, re flash cwm and root. Since then I've been able to flash and it fixed the cache hang up in cwm.

[Q] Method for CM10 Nightly updates

Hi all,
I've been using a nightly build of CM10 for a while now, one of the ones with the memory leak. I'd like to keep on top of the most recent nightly builds on a regular basis, but I hate the process of having to re install all my apps again, losing app data and adding all the sync accounts etc etc.
I was just wondering what process people used for updating to the most recent nightly, if there are any easy ways of doing a simple backup for everything, then just restoring it after the update.
Any information would be appreciated.
Cheers.

I disagree completely, wipe once, if at all.
Twice is completely unnecessary.
Before or after doesn't matter a sh*t as long as you do it before you boot the ROM.
(I've often not wiped anything and its been fine although I'll give best practice advice here.)
Actually with nightlies I don't wipe anything, ever, unless specifically instructed to do so by the dev (new code base or whatever)

No need in wiping anything. There's a script included in the installation for that.

Go into recovery and look for mounts and storage. Go into that and format data and cache. Come out of that and go into advanced and wipe cache there too. Reboot.
If that don't work reflash the rom and gapps. If that don't work flash stock with Odin. Standard stuff really. :thumbup:

Make sure you have the newest CWM or comparable (6.0.4.5 or higher)
Make sure you know what you are doing
Hmm.. Okay thanks for the info.
How about the SIV Series v2.05-1.ZIP?
By the way what is CWM?
