How to backup original ROM?

Hi.
I am currently own a Samsung Omnia and I am planning to flash with custom Win6.5 ROM.
Before I do that I would like to backup my original ROM just in case anything happen I able to revert back as what I had right now.
My questions:
1) Is there any ROM Dump application available to do so for my original ROM backup?
2) Edit: There is NO better ROM. You need to test and read the feedback and decide for yourself
I know my questions are somewhere in the forum but there are thousands of them I hope someone kind enough to help me over here. Thanks in advance.

Hi Ameet,
Thanks for editing my thread.
I am not expert like u which I able to identify which custom rom is stable or good for my phone by reading through thousands of thread over the forum. To me, all look the same and I do not know where to start. I know there is not prefect ROM available for every phone or everyone but I do highlighted as I am using Samsung Omnia and I hope someone using the same phone as me able to advise me that this ROM is much better or that ROM is for HTC and so on.
This is the reason i post this thread as I need help from someone expert like u to guide ppl like me, maybe you can just highlight a keywords that I need to search.
I thought the main reason of this forum to guide newbie for better understand on their phone or applications and has fun with it.
I am sorry if I duplicated this thread with same questions somewhere in the forum.

If you want to flash a rom, read this guide. As for which rom is best for, everyone has different tastes, you have lite roms, and full roms (lots of apps included), then you have wm6.1 or wm6.5 as well as different versions of manila. Best advice would be scan first post of each thread and see which appeals to you then try a few out and make your own conclusion
Any future help on flashing should be posted in guide thread
Plenty of people have asked same question and get same result. Research, read & trial.
Can I also remind you to read the forum rules before creating new thread.

Need a little Clarifiction

Hi all,
I was wondering for a while now, I followed the Unlckr guide on how to root my HTC Hero, but I didn't really get when the rooting stopped and the cooked ROM began.
So, breaking it down: -
What is the Cyanogen Recovery Image for? Is that just so we can enable the custom ROMs?
Putting in the new ROM, does that then mean my phone is then rooted? If I put in another Stock ROM (as I still haven't found a Donut update for Hero anywhere yet), will it be unrooted again?
What does Rooted mean anyway?
Many thanks if you can answer any or all these questions, I'm eager to know what I actually did

Take it no one knows or cares to clarify?

You might have better luck if you post this in the Q&A section. However, I reckon you'll find the answers you're looking for if you use the search.

lazy ex-htc-magic guy here

Hi all,
Can someone recommend me the most stable rom which means no lagging or not hanging? or there is none?
I came from HTC Magic so I am familiar with the versions, flashing but in this thread I am totally new although I have flashed xtreme rom
Xtreme rom is quite fast compare to the shipped rom.(but it is still hang time to time) My HD2 is from singapore, telco is starhub.
This is the first time I am on winmo phone and now quite upset about the shipped os.
but but i am lucky to be here to try faster and more stable roms.
So pls someone suggest me which rom should I go for it and all the roms are compatible with my phone? How and where to check the compatible?
This is the way I installed rom, pls correct if i'm wrong.
flash hspl
flash radio
do task 29
flash the rom
reset
do some other fixes if necessary
Thanks a lot.
You guys rock.
ps. Admin, pls delete it if I shouldn't start a new thread. Thanks.

Sorry for quick answer
go to HD2 ROM Development
click view to ascending so u can see most view and click post to see max post from there you can find which rom is using by most people.
if you are more lazy then come here i would flash your phone for you!!!

Hi Thihaz,
Best thing to do, as mentioned above, is to look through the first few posts of each rom and see which ones feel like they will deliver what you are looking for then try them out.
Please read ALL of the tutorial threads, hints and tips, and especially the rom chefs advice BEFORE jumping in.
Good luck with it. Closing this as we don't do "best rom" type threads but I wanted to help you out.
If you need more help on this matter feel free to pm me.
Cheers
WB
PS: Never start a thread by telling people you are feeling lazy. You will get zero help that way.

Here is the thread you want to read.
Fair Warning: A moderator is most likely gonna get on here after me and tell you to:
Read the posts at the top of each thread labeled "Sticky", since they contain the same information I just gave you.
When you have a question, it doesn't matter if you think it's "newbie" or "old-school", either way try to do a search for the terms first before you post a question.
Almost every chef has a "Tutorial" or "How to install" link somewhere in the first three posts of their release threads. Most of those probably point to the same place I pointed to
If you have problems with a specific ROM, try replying to that ROM's thread. You are more likely to get help without lectures there
And welcome to xda

lol... sorry I did read the post but most of the wording is totally alien for me ... Alot of the acronyms I dont know ... Once again sorry ...
But I can do all the regular stuff like doing a update on software etc, etc... but re-flashing my HD2 is totally something new to me ...
