thats right mate and theis fellow put htis in dev instead of q N a
he is right
this is a dev zone go to this link and google
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567610
and go to his wiki it will tell you how if you have the g1 from google is is all ready root
wow ! This is a record ! 20 mins and no one has bashed the starter of this thread? Lmao !
Its all good though man.. just read up on ROOT, SPLS and Requirements.. if you read the guide on how to root your phone, you SHOULD be up and running the latest cyanogen mod rom within the next half an hour.. be sure to READ the directions carefully.. and if your not sure about something, scroll through some of the posts in the thread.. 9 xs out of 10 someone has asked your question, and has received an answer... if there are too many pages to read, like let's say maybe 40 or more, jus go to google, and search for your problem.. this site plus some others may pop up and offer you some help.. good luck and welcome to the community !

If your post has a question mark in it, you most likely need to post your thread in the Q&A Section
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
granted, you did not use any question marks, but had you used correct punctuation, there would be.
Consider the parts of a rom you want to change. THEN look for answers or tutorials regarding those individual pieces. There is no one quide for creating a rom, but the tons of threads with tutorials for individual components that make up a rom will ultimately guide you to everything you could want to do.
i can't remember the exact name for it right now, but there was a thread about this a while back about starting to mess around with making roms. also there is a thread about unpacking and re-packing boot images which will probably some system understanding as well. I personally do not know how to go about making a rom from scratch, but i think they may have something about how to compile the source here or here. its worth a read anyways i guess.
people on here are dicks and hate to see someone wanting to learn something. like really hate it, with a passion.
being insulted from the guy that released a rom and didn't even know that it had to be signed (tested how)
Moved. Enough flaming.
It's like saying how do I build my computer from scratch. What do you really want? A how to guide that somehow already knows which type of ROM you want to cook, what you are planning to do with it, and teaches you how to use linux, java, and android all at the same time?

All wrong sectionry aside, you didn't find a thread or a guide because there isn't one.. It's something you'll kind of figure out when you're ready. It sounds like I'm being a total elitist d*ck, but I'm not. Knowing how to create a rom from scratch is a culmination of knowledge and research over a long time. If someone posted a step-by-step guide it still wouldn't tell you what you need to know.
thanks for the ACTUAL helpful comments guys i'll take a browse thru forums bit more for the stuff i wanna change\edit learn

First off, this isn't even the right spot. Move to the Q&A section.
Second, use the SEARCH button.
I'm sure this has been answered several times.
wrong section
this question has been answered a million times if you just search
im in a good mood from beer so all i will say is this:
if you are rooted you dont even need to activate with most roms (and you can do it when you have wifi access)
next time, QUESTIONS GO IN THE QnA SECTION....cmon...is it really THAT difficuly?
just noticed from your signature that you are the idiot who asked us to magically improve your signal the other night
STOP POSTING IN THE WRONG BLOODY SECTION

I vote they should, they make some of the best threads... But because they also have the stupidest questions to post a thread you have to answer an Android related question. Something a SEARCH would tell you. You know it reads the subject/post looks it up and tells them to answer their own question
a bit like ubuntu forums and the way they make you answer like "what is one plus four" to get results? but android related...

I think it would work. Like this thread, how to setup with out sim. The question would be
"If you don't have a sim card, how can you setup your phone?"
looks like we have jacked this thread....

So i have a question, and maybe its a quick answer, but when you are upgrading mods, is it best to do a complete wipe, and upgrade? Or is it better to just stack the builds? Thanks for the answers ahead of time!

What part of the 'Questions & Answers' section don't you understand?
Also read the requirements for each rom.
I knew i was i was gonna get flamed for posting in this section. My apologies, i was not aware of the Q/A section. I feel better about doing a complete wipe and doing a fresh install. I keep reading about these recovery imgs, i have one, that was created with Flashrec(Cyan 1.4) what is the .img of? Can you just replace that .img, if it was imaged while it while on the stock .img? I'm curious because if so you should be able go back and forth with ease in theory right?

I do recommend using Amon_ra's though. It has every option in a nice menu to choose from. Just follow the instructions and you should be good.

ok, you made a mistake....a mistake we see atleast 3 times a day
most of us who have been here for more than a few months are sick fed up of people not using a little bit of sense
if people would search, read rules and post in the right bloody section, we would be much more accommodating
my signature says it all.....
Which one should I be using?
I am still using the original Amon RA Recovery 1.5 that I loaded when I first rooted my Hero from Regaw's thread.
I'm currently running CM6 Extreme Blue, and I have seen the option in my ROM manager to flash Clockwork Recovery so I could use ROM Manager to download ROM's.
So, my question is, which is better, Amon or Clockwork? Is it easy to revert back to Amon from Clockwork if I don't care for it?
Thanks.
Its all preference I would think. Its easy to change the recovery so try it for a while then change back if you don't like it or try the Unofficial Amon_RA 1.7, GodSpeed Recovery Darchstar Edition, or GodSpeed Recovery ToAsTcfh Edition available at Darchs Website.
Just to let you know you should be posting questions at the Hero CDMA Q&A section not on the Development section.
clockwork

I love how this thread is almost underneath the stickied one that clearly says "PLEASE POST "Questions" and "Non ROM developement" THEADS IN THE CORRECT FORUMS".
Clockwork Mod is insanely better. It has more advanced features than Amon_RA, such as mounting individual partitions in Recovery mode, and flashing unsigned zip files.

agreed people on this site wonder why i always post in threads saying that. my response is...READ THE RULES!
Can you use clockwork to mount your flash as a USB device on a computer? (know Amon RA does that)...

Yes you can, as well as individual partitions such as /system, /data /cache, etc.

Sorry about posting in the wrong forum. Didn't mean to break the rules, I wasn't trying to be stupid, just made a mistake. I was posting while at work, and was writing the post between inputing my different orders that I have to work. I was writing the post during the downtimes, and just happened to be in the wrong forum. Didn't do it on purpose. Certainly didn't mean to ruffle the feathers of so many people.

LOL you're so funny. I asked for moderator status because I frequent XDA multiple times per day. It's not fair to developers that their threads are pushed back pages because of people asking noob questions in the DEVELOPMENT section instead of the Q&A section. It's even worse that no one reads up on what they're actually doing to their phone anymore before they do it. God forbid they use the search button on XDA or Google. /end rage
Ironic considering almost all the threads you've started are questions. Perhaps you need to sharpen up on your Googling skills, as well.
You know what else pushes back development threads? People bickering over stupid stuff, getting way off topic, and not letting a thread die.
Now don't have a flame war, don't like what somebody says? Ignore them, or tell a moderator and let them handle it. It takes 2 to have a war
When thread has been answered, posting that it's in the wrong place just bumps it.
If this has been answered, let it die. Stop before real moderators have to get involved k?
Ok so here's a question relating to this thread. I've used both amonRA and clockwork. I do appreciate the advanced features of clockwork, but I noticed the other day it takes about 4 times as long to back up the exact same rom, even though it makes the same size of backup. Anyone have a clue as to why this would be?

some of the later Amon RA are overclocked

That's due to that fact that the 1.7 ra is overclocked, and therefore much faster
Personally I would stick with an OC amonRA over Clockwork if you're just going to be doing your basic nandroid backups/restores, flashing signed zips you get off of XDA, and mounting the SD card on occasion.
It covers your basic needs and it does it faster. Plus, who wouldn't want darch's or toast's avatar on their recovery
