Now that i've finally managed to root my SNS, what should i do now? :O
(What are some good roms, etc)
Look at all of the choices available and find the rom you like the most.
I'd personally recommend,
Lightweight and speed: oxygen
Cm7 is another cool rom
Miui is good as well.
Kernel: netarchys 1.3.7 with proton voltage condolences to undervolt and use voodoo functionality

I'm a bit confused as to what I installed while I was rooting.
I installed Clockwork 3.0.2.4 but what exactly is this?

Yes, but you'd have had enabled back up to your Google account before you rooted and have to enable it on the rooted phone again, then the market will try to restore all apps.
If you didn't you got to do it manually (recommend doing it via webside market for easier accessing old apps), then get Titanium Backup and save all your apps.

No. Redownload them and back it up using a backup apply. I'd recommend tianjin backup pro. It costs $6 but its worth it. It backs up ur apps/games and data along with it.
Every rom flash involving a factory reset will wipe your apps. With titanium backup pro, you can one click restore everything

Ok,
Final question is that how do i go about installing the rom? I downloaded it and transferred it to the memory card.
I go into fastboot and into recovery.
Then.?

1. Download the ROM
2. mount the phone's USB
3. put it on the root of the /sdcard/ while mounted
4. unmount
5. go into recovery
6. wipe factory settings, data cache, dalvk cache (advanced)
P.S. i'd recommend getting clockwork 4.0.0.2 from the dev forums, its a lot better. better organization on wipes
7. flash the ROM (if you're flashing CM7, you have to flash Gapps afterwards) [flash zip from sdcard]
this flash applies to any flashable zips including kernels/roms/radios... DO NOT FLASH BOOT ANIMATIONS. you put them in /system/media/ if you choose to do so
8. reboot
how do u install teh clockwork 4.0.0.2?

It puts a custom recovery on your SD card which you can use to backup restore and flash roms, the app can be found on the market and does this all for you
The app also allows you to download roms, backup and flash right from the app so you don't have to even touch the recovery yourself
Root access is required
Would definitely recommend it works very well for me
it is a paid app...
its a free app, but theres also a premium license so you can download roms from within rom manager

Firstly it is a free app, you can choose to get premium
And no you can download roms within the free app, you don't need to pay for that, you only need to pay for ota custom roms and scheduled back UPS

Not sure if this is correct, I was reading a few posts about Rom manager, apparently if you were to save your apps/settings using the free version of rom manager the apps would not be updateable in the market. You would have to have the paid version of rom manager if you want to be able to update your apps. Is this correct

No. It's a bug that happens sometimes (same goes for Titanium). Usually, downloading any app from the Market solves it.

I think this is just about the most exhaustive list of boot animations as you'll find.
Which one do you guys prefer? Flashing with Rom manager or flash manually through recovery?
So if I'm right, with the app, I can just do everything from the app which I normally have to do manually by going to fastboot and recovery? It just automates the whole process of:
turning device off
hold vol down and power up
go into recovery
do whatever you would do in recovery

When you tap to flash a rom it asks if you want to wipe. You can also manually reboot into recovery and there is a wipe option in there.

Sorry for bumping this old thread.
But, I have a question.
Can Rom Manager do a FULL wipe of the system? Thus also the boot en system?
Sorry for the noob question here, but I have rooted my Samsung Epic 4G and I am positive I am going to install the Froyo rom. However, there's a few things I am not sure on.
1. I downloaded rom manager, but after that, what do i do? Do I install that rom onto the phone and flash the clockwork recovery? Also, do I have to download the clockwork app off of the market first?
2. I know flashing roms requires a wipe, so is there any easy way to back up all my applications and data? I have heard of titanium backup, but I am not sure how to use it.
3. Does owning a mac affect any of these steps when it comes to downloading stuff?
If anyone can explain/post a video about these questions, I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks
Edit: during the clockwork recovery app, what are the controls?
I am still quite a noob myself but I can give you a little guidance. Find a root that includes the clockworkmod (I personally used noobnls all in on root method, it was simple and self explainitory, you can even unroot first and then reroot with it), once you have the root with CWM you can then use ROM manager to flash a ROM. Download the .zip of the rom, make sure it is an epic 4g compatible ROM. Put the .zip on your sd card, then use ROM manager. I don't use it though, I just shut the phone off and boot into recovery, the text will be green if CWM is running. Do a backup, wipe to factory, wipe cache, then install .zip from sd. Locate .zip file and flash it. Reboot and you're done. If you are going to flash a froyo rom make sure you read the first post of the thread, it will usually have instructions of what else you need to flash, how to download it and where to find it. Hope this helps, please remeber that I am still a noob and might not be perfectly accurate. Good luck

Also, I forgot, the appbrain app allows you to sync all your apps so after you wipe and flash a new ROM you can dl appbrain (free from market), and then reinstall all your apps, bad thing is I have not figured out how to do it all at once, and had to install each app individually.

Yes, you can dl the rom directly onto your sd card, I boot into cwm so that I can do everything manually and make sure it gets done (its just my preference you don't have to do this). Rom manager makes it easier, you can just select flash rom frm sd card, find the .zip file, it give you the option to backup and wipe and then boots into cwm to finish. Most roms, kernels and themes that I have looked at say wipe 3 times before flashing, that is the other reason I don't use rom manager, because it only gives you the option to wipe once.

Okay so the froyo rom doesn't require a wipe which is nice. Last question, do I need to have the usb plugged into my device as well as a computer? Thanks so much!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
For a froyo rom I am not sure, everything that I read said youj need to use odin to flash the dk17 modem and pit, I haven't done that, but you will need a computer and usb to do that. I'm not sure about the rest, a look at the first post of the various froyo roms should tell you how to do that, I think the viper rom had some good details if I remember. Take a look there in the developers forum and see what you find, let me know how it all turns out

I found a really easy way to flash the new recovery. My fastboot didnt seem to have an option for a terminal so I thought of this genius yet n00b way. Here are the steps.
Steps:
1. Install clockworkmod from market.
2. Flash Clockworkmod recovery from Rom Manager.
3. Navigate to clockworkmod/download/koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries (or where ever your recovery was downloaded to. This can be done in File Manager, Astro, or Androzip.
4. Mine was "recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-vision.img". Rename it to "recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-visionXXX.img" or something obviously different.
5. Download clockworkmod 3.0 from hereish:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893933
6. Move your recovery.img to clockworkmod/download/koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries and name it recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-vision.img
7. Go into ROM Manager and Flash Clockworkmod recovery, it will say its still 2.5.1.3 when your done. Reboot into recovery and you'll be welcomed by a new orange 3.0
More than likely i could have done it much easier but it just kinda clicked and i didn't wanna bother with fastboot as it feels clunky on the G2.

For some reason flashing recovery from fastboot hangs everytime on my phone. This way is good but I did it in terminal. I actually had to flash a cyanogen rom to get the fastboot command, this method would have saved that step.

Just follow the instructions carefully and you will be fine.
Its not that hard really,
1. Root your device
2. Install Acer Recovery Installer from Market
3. Install the Clockwork image IN THE Acer Recovery Installer
4. Download the wished custom rom and place it in your EXTERNAL SD CARD
5. Enter Acer Recovery Installey either via the App itself which has the option 'enter recovery' or turn off your device and press Power and Volume - together until the recovery appears or the text in the upper left corner.
6. Once in recovery use the volume and power buttons to navigate. First highlight and press Wipe data/factory reset and then do the the same for Wipe Cache Partition.
7. Navigate to Install zip from External SD Card, enter and navigate to the zip file and press enter (power button is enter)
And thats it. Here is a video of clockwork and how to do it

Here's a question that I asked back when I was using Virtuous Galaxy and definitely applies with Virtuous Xoom: Is it possible to successfully use the Motorola Xoom recovery found in Rom Manager?

I've done it a few times and it backs up everything, apps and settings and all. It makes it really easy to revert to a previous setup if you don't like the rom you just installed.

DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR TABLET!
The A500 uses a checksum to validate its ROM. This checksum must be recalculated when you flash and we use the "itsmagic" program to do it. Only the A500 custom version of Clockwork Mod runs that automatically. If you flash with anything else, and itsmagic isn't run, you'll have an expensive tea tray.
After researching for many weeks on how to root my Kindle Fire, I finally became a noob and rooted my first device. Thanks to all the awesome devs on this site to make that possible.
The next thing I want to do is start flashing some different ROMs to see what my Fire can really do.
After I flash a ROM, do I install data from a previous backup or do I have to start from scratch each time I install a new ROM?
If someone could help shed some light on switching between ROMs (I will be using TWRP) or point me to a thread that might cover this topic I would appreciate it very much. Thanks for your help.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App (XDA app keeps FC on my Fire after I log in!)
Depends on what data you are talking about.
General when switching between roms I follow a procedure.
1.Back up current apps with titanium backup.
2.Back up launcher settings with whichever launcher I'm using.
3.Boot into recovery.
4.Factory wipe - dalvik,cache,data,batt,rotation.
5.Flash rom.
6.Boot rom.
7.Restore apps from titanium.
8.Restore launcher settings.
Hope this helps!
Thanks! I am backing up my apps and system data with TB right now.
So is the backup I do within TWRP a ROM backup that has nothing to do with apps or data?

I just started using TB because it can reliably/easily move apps to SD - freed up LOTS of device memory. Though Apps2SD ran on my rooted stock Fire, it wouldn't give me the option to move them.. In fact, when installing and running Apps2SD, it never requested superuser rights.
I believe I have all the files in the right place to install CM7 barebones. I was wondering, if I wanted to go back to my stock rooted ROM if it was just as easy as installing the backup I created with TWRP. Guess I could unroot and remove TWRP and start from scratch but I am hoping not to go that route.
I think bob posted this same question in another thread but I thought I would ask here too to see if we could get more answers.
Thanks for all your help.

would never ever flash the original stock rom (besides if returning the kf) cause you loose fff,twrp and root
furthermore there is a higher risk to brick
would instead recommend to flash one of the prerooted stock roms if you want to go back to stock:

I am still a little confused. What is the purpose of doing a backup within TWRP?
I just want to be prepared before I install my first ROM.
