sorry wher is the right section?
Read how it works to flash a rom, and then u can choose any1 you like 90% of them are flashed the same way.
MAKE SURE TO GET THE 3 BUTTON FIX FIRST!!!!!
with that it is REALLLYYY hard to brick your phone.....

For me it was a case of trying a darky's rom, realising how it all worked, THEN using the kitchen, I cooked roms with the features I liked and flashed them, tested them for looks etc and then decided that a stock rom with a nice theme was my way, I am now learning to make my own packages up
Try the one you selected, if it stinks, then flash another
I store ALL my contacts in google, then I have no issue with contacts, as soon as am happy, I sign in and down they come
I have tested and used titanium and mybackup for the apps, but end up installing from new each time as I change my mind
U can also look at mine.
before you proceed, you shoud know how to fix things when they are in the worst case scenario.

Agree that's the whole key to flashing roms understand what you are doing Read the stickies and FAQs . Read the instructions with the rom .
Dont flash until you know your path to recovery .
Have a read of a number posts if multiple help i broke my phone posts all use the same rom developer then for a newbie it makes sense to steer clear of that rom .
Its not hard the hard part comes from not bothering to read .
Suggest build your own at the rom kitchen .

ok so there is a problem in that rom any advice then?
Did you install Darky's with the WIPE option? Also, in Clockwork Mod Recovery have you cleaned the cache? Maybe also try a "factory reset"?
hi i re installed the flash and its all workng now many thanks to you all///
If you haven't flashed a rom before then I'd suggest
this how-to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7152078#post7152078
Then for use this brilliant guide for installing Doc's:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926399
Edit: I see you got Darky's flashed, congrats
Go to market and buy rom manager. at top of app select your phone,next.press download rom select
insanity 6.0, download it,now you'll be asked to backup and wipe select both and ok,now wait for phone to reboot,when rebooted long press on/off button,select recorvery,scroll to backup and restore,select restore data,ONLY data.press yes.done.
Flying rom and and all previous settings and apps.

U are right there, Darky has also great tutorials on his tread. But, dont do anything without working 3 button combo and backed up of your /rfs. And read, read and.... read.

not sure how far along you are with your G1.. i assume its rooted haha but the best sense rom i've used to date would have to be zachattack052 & xillius200's 2.1&1.5HERO: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670414
but with this rom you need to have the latest radio and hboot: 2.22.28.25, 1.33.0013d. this rom has most of the latest features and all those sense widgets we all love so much. If anyone knows of a better rom i would love to try it but as of now thats the best i know of. also if you need help flashing it DO ask questions before trying something you are unsure of.. because there's always that possibility of bricking your beloved G1. and we dont want that now do we..? haha feel free to ask me anything you need..

uhhhmmm im not sure why that would be but i did notice some of the roms dont come with gmail on it so you may have to download the actual gmail app... if not than try reflashing.. because i didnt have that issue.. not sure if it is a huge difference but i also had the 28.25 radio not the 27.08.. also i know it sounds dumb but you actually do have to wait like 10 minutes after the service provider pops up when you first flash.. i recomend following the steps on the rom link exact!! but i know my google services worked when i had it so maybe jus try a reflash if its still not working... sorry for your trouble.. im gonna re flash the rom now so i can see if i find anything...

it should be 2.1 if im not mistaken... my friend just got the 4g evo and this rom can almost do everything that phone does... almost.. lol it's just the G1 is older and slower so you must be careful on how many widgets you use and jus keep an eye out for your basic memory drains.. i reccomend apps2sd

haha yeah i tried that one too and the animations for the clock widget are messed up lol in all honesty the G1 is gonna run hard with all the goodies your looking for so you might have to give up some of those features for it to run smooth... other than that i would use the zx2.1 possibly the best i used so far that has all the eye candy... but i recomend the one i posted earlier bcuz it will run a lil smoother without all the newer stuff like market and photo apk. jus my opinion..

Hello,
i have a simple wuestion: How can i make my stock froyo os (it's odexed) to an stock froyo deodexed. Because i would like to make anything on the theme of it. Best is if it is an update or anything else where my data where don't delete. But post things where all delete, too.
I hope you cna help me
Thanks and Greetings
If you do not wish to install any of the available HTC Sense Froyo ROM's, your best option would be to cook one yourself using the DSIXDA Android Kitchen. Just load the Stock ROM, and, you can just de-odex it and flash it as a normal ROM.
Link here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
And I dont think its possible to do this without losing data. Obviously, you can take a backup of apps using a backup app and restore it later.
thanks for the link. but sorry. It's my first custimation in this part. Rom and so on i know. But how i use the Android Kitchen?
There is no .exe or something else
Read the 3rd post completely and carefully. It can get a bit intimidating setting the kitchen up , but, it works fine.

Hi I am new to android. I decided to install CyanogenMod on my Indian sgy rooted and had stock rom with Touchwiz and android 2.3.6. So I got some instructions from here . Then I downloaded the file of around 120MB.I booted into recovery mode. I selected update from SD card and then selected CWM.zip I got from XDA thread. It entered the CWM and then I selected Format system, Clear cache and clear Dalvik cache. Then I selected the update from SD card and then selected the CM zip file of 120MB I had in my phone. It installed and then it showed no errors. After conformation I rebooted the phone. It showed Samsung Galaxy Y and then turned black with no Samsung logo. I thought it was doing something and then after 3 minutes I touched the screen it began to draw circles wherever I touched. I thought I bricked the phone. After two minutes I turned it off and then again got into recovery mode and then to CWM mode and got my phone back with Nandroid backup I had.
Was the phone installing and I interrupted it by touching it?
Is there any error on my installation steps?
Kindly reply me how to install this CM and tell me if you get the same and give me the link you used for installing CM
Apologies for poor english if you find any.
you installed cm9
to use cm9 you need to install whitexp kernel else you will have the track pad which you experienced
you should also know cm9 is not stable in this device - no network wifi data etc - all it does is boot

Thank you. Could you please guide me through any other ROM or thread that could
help me to install another rom. I am not asking for a best ROM. I am just asking a more
appropriate ROM that I could use as galaxy y is not officially supported by Cyanogenmod.
Also the developer of mod said to install kernel if I restore nandroid backup using CWM will I get stock kernel back.
please don't mistake me that I am asking the best rom.

no you will not get stock kernel back by restoring nandroid backup
to go back to stock rom/kernel you need to flash stock rom firmware via odin
This is because the kernels that support cm will format your system to ext - stock kernel does not support ext so your phone will not boot so you need to flash stock rom via odin to go back to stock
all roms including stock based cm7 and aosp are found in the dev section - read the op - full instructions are given there - if you flash a cm7 or aosp rom you will need to flash percys kernel first and reboot to recovery and format system data cache to remove mount errors
choose one that works best for you

Hello
Well, I had to drop the constant flashing rom addiction because of some trouble that took all my time, but I'm back at it at least for some days and I'm looking for the newest UI/UX but I like it stock or very close to it so I can try change where I like. I've installed Aryamod, DarkLord and Darkwolf and I've found too much "bloat" that I'd prefer to have the option to not install. Is there any developer opting for a more stock route that I should follow his work?
For me, I prefer to root a stock ROM and use titanium backup to remove apps and bloatware.
Pick your rom and delete what you don't want out of the zip then flash it .

Yea I can try and do that, but won't that cause problems then on settings and stuff since some options have dedicated place in settings? Also, there is stuff I can't relate due to the name the apk has compared to the service it provides.
