Hello,
I am itching to install CyanogenMod on my Nexus One, but I am holding out for 6.1 so that I can take advantage of A2SD functionality, since from what I've gathered it would make me have to totally wipe my phone twice (initially to install to 6.0 and then again once 6.1 comes out).
Is this just insanity? Will I need to wipe once the 6.1 update comes out, or will CyanogenMod 6.0 gracefully upgrade to 6.1 without forcing me to wipe again?
-You guys rock! Thanks for your help.
since you would be going from cyanogen to cyanogen you would not need to do another wipe only unless otherwise stated. if you were going from cyanogen to another developers rom then you would need to wipe.
hope this helps.

Hey. I have my SGS I9000 for some days now, and I wanna put a theme in it, so it looks nice. I've downloaded a theme, and I have no idea what to do right now. I searched for like 300 hours, but there are a thousands of tutorials and I don't know which one I should use. Can someone help me or give me a guide which shows how I can install a theme? I have SGS I9000, build 2.2
I am sure a lot of people asked this, but I just can't find the right guide.
Thanks.
First you need to root your fone then download clockwork recoverymod from the market then flash a custom rom then apply your theme or you could just root it, install clockwork then visit the rom kitchen and build your own rom and also pick your own theme. Make sure that your 3 button recovery works first!
How can i root my phone?

Read the stickies. Take an hour out of your life to read instead of posting questions that are solved by a quick search. Invest a little bit of yourself. 300 hours? More like 300 seconds

Read the stickies understand what you are doing first read the themes in themes section .
Or just be another numbty rushing to brick their phone .
jje
You need to install a custom rom before you can install a theme. Once you get the custom rom, usually each theme has instructions on how to install. Most of them just involve using ClockworkMod which may or may not be included in the custom rom. Once you ge CWM you just have to follow the instructions made by poster.
Also make sure that you can get it in to download mode or otherwise you'll have to go through extra trouble or you may have a brick. Darkyy's rom is an amazing rom so i would suggest going to get his rom first. Follow his guides and once your done that you can get whatever theme you want after that.
Good luck
Kk, ill try. Thanks

I'm new to overcome..been using it from GOLD update,to hermes,n now on icarus..I know nothing much bout rom developing,unix,linux etc etc (list goes on..) honestly I'm still trying hard to understand most of the post on the overcome thread
did days of reading on the forum thread n overcome team website before I finally have the courage to flash for the 1st time (lol)
Until today, I don't have any regrets at all! Even after flashing to the stock gingerbread rom,I felt so excited like a kid got a new toy! eventho the latest release icarus got a few issues,but I believe the devs are working at their best to give us the best overcome experience! And I do believe "the best is yet to come"
Well,I can't post at the overcome thread yet,but I really do admires their work and am very thankful for their existance ;D

I use the overcome rom for many reasons.
The most important is that it enables sip calls in gingerbread without an extra application.
Video calls in talk are also a nice feature.
For a complete list of changes look at the first post of the overcome topic.

One last question can i backup my apps from titanium backup and restore on overcome?
Sent from top of Mt. Everest using XDA App
Yes you can use Titanium backup and some form of back up is always recommended.
Performance and features definately enhanced and the support from the team and more experienced guys is great.

The easiest way to backup apps in titanium backup is to use one of the batch scripts. Just hit the menu button in the apps list and choose something like backup all user apps and data. Then you just have to save your Titanium backup folder to PC or removable SD if you intend to restock before flashing overcome, because internal SD gets wiped.
When you have installed Ocvercome, copy.TB folder back to internal SD and use TB batch script to restore all missing apps and data. I strongly advice you to buy the pro version because otherwise you have to confirm the restore of every single app. But it's worth the money for sure as after the first flash, you will get addicted to it anyway and TB will make life so much easier.

I got sick of waiting for samsung australia to release gingerbread for the gtab so i i updated to overcome icarus last nite from 2.2 and my gtab flies now, battery usage seems to be the same as far as i can tell so no complaints there.
Backed up everything with titanium, restored contacts but they wouldnt appear until i restarted the machine. Restoring SMS didnt work

I love so much AOSP Roms for our Galaxy S I9000..I have done a nandroid back-up of Galnet MIUI v4 and Cyanogenmod 7..so if i want one of two roms i have to format system/data/cache/datadata from recovery and then restore the back-up..
My question is if is there a way to manage to do a dualboot between this two (or others) Roms..??
I think if it is possible it will be a great develoment for our Galaxy S..
Maybe i'm sayng a stupid thing but i want to read your opinions about this..
Cheers
i dont think its stupid at all, this would be a great feature! I have seen this in other android devices!
I've always wondered this too.
This was done on my previous device (HTC Hero) but it was a bit of a pain. The second Rom was installed on SDcard which was slow, and was FCing constantly, etc.
Whoever's interested can have a look at the HTC Hero forum section. It was ported by Kendon (he was part of VillainROM back then, don't know now).
Hope some developpers can do this ..
If it was possible on Htc Hero with less memory and less power it could be done also on Galaxy S I9000..
But Htc Hero is Htc and Galaxy S is Samsung so..i don't know..
I'm sure this week in dev I saw a trial program to do just this, running up to 4 roms! Will hunt down link if I can! Brb

Hi there,
Dual booting is kinda possible.
First one is to have very slims roms so you can install both on the nand and select one using a modded recovery.
Second one is to use redbend_ua script that will backup the current running rom, and then install another one and run it. The operation takes between 5 to 10 min depending on the rom and thats the only possibility to switch from 2.2.1 to 2.3 and vice-verca without having to flash bootloaders as redbend can flash bootloaders.
Also using redbend can be tricky as it can dump and write on partition but if it fail at flashing bootloaders you will be bricked.
Bricked phones can still be recovered using j-tag or 301k resitor.
Here is an attempt by z4ziggy:
http://z4ziggy.wordpress.com/2010/09/15/rom-flashing-using-redbend_ua/
The script in this page does not work but it can be improved.
You should check with him and some good dev like supercurio or codeworkx.
Also before applying any scripts, post it here and ask other people to see if it seems correct.
Happy flashing.
quick edit:
Be sure to dump the whole rom and restore the whole image even empty bml as it may have an importance.
We have to ask to developpers..
Not really, try to make a script that dump some bml, then try to restore them is it works then your good to go further.
Finally when you have a working script use tegrak kernel sources to include a "boot selection" as he did.
(on tegrak at phone boot you can enter recovery using the "home" button, change that to run the script so if you wait it boots normally, if you push "home" it dump the current rom and restore another one to boot on it)
Editing again:
If you use 2.2.1 bootloaders only, you can symlink an rom.img at boot and boot on it, it is easier but it is also pretty slow. (see nexus S rom port by supercurio)
This looks amazing

It is a really cool App, installing the roms takes some time, but switching between them is quick and easy.

OMFGodddddd!!!!!!!! Yes!!!!! This is like legalizing drugs for flasher addicts!!
EDIT: bought it, and playing with it right now
edit: I like it alot, set the newer cm7 as my phone rom, and installed vicious miui in slot 1 just to play around with, its pretty fun, this makes me a flash a holic x5 or is that 4
Is this a must?
really cool app but this thread belongs in the themes & apps section
Playing around with this now, thx for the post. Never would have thought this would have been remotely possible ..therefore I never looked for anything like it via market lol.
cool app, but, how does it work?
is it automating the flashing process?
is it changing the boot.ini to make my phone look for the other os install on the sd card?
am I flashing like mad going in between roms?
I find these questions need to be answered first before I install this.
the way I understand it is
1.main rom i flashed on my phone internal memory+(kernel)
(on SD)
{
rom2+(kernel)
rom3+(kernel)
rom4+(kernel)
rom5+(kernel)
}
and the app works by flashing an update.zip that changes where the phone looks to boot.
Am I correct in my understanding?
EDIT:

Useful answers
1. Will this also work if you have a froyo rom and gb rom that you are switching between?
Yes u can install whatever roms u want to whatever slots gb roms froyo roms whatever makes u happy they're all completely separate it's like having 5 different phones basically
**** remember your radios folks we have mr1 and mr2 some roms need separate radios so if you use the app and swap, you wont have any data untill you flash a new one through hboot.
2. Are you saying that when you flash between roms, the app will auto wipe data, cache and dalvik?
The app creates imgs into the slots when u install a fresh rom to a slot u should check all the check boxes to wipe data cache and system but it doesn't wipe the data cache and system on ur phone just the slots data cache and system the app doesn't touch any of ur data on ur phone just makes it's own in the sdcard
3. Let's say I have Chevy's Froyo rom and his SS GB rom on there. If I flash from GB to froyo, then back to GB. Will I have to restore apps?
No each slot is saved all of it's data stays there nothing is ever wiped again just like having five phones basically all of ur slots are completely separate all of ur data is separate and saved nothing is lost
it aint workin right for me. I tried doing an install from the sdcard and it is telling me i dont have enough space. but i have 1.37 gb free!
This app is kick a**! I know one of the devs that made this app back from my D1 days (he was co-creator of one of the best D1 ROM's IMO) and he is an amazing dev! I was lucky enough to test this app and it is def worth the $$ if you're a person that can't decide on 1 ROM or you just like to try all the latest and greatest ROM's that drop.

So my question is...does it run the ROM from the SD card?
If so...how is the speed/lag once the ROM is booted up?
I like the idea of having different ROMs to test, but I'm wondering how much time you'd be saving if it takes that long to install a ROM initially.
A lot of these Devs have nightlys or almost nightlys....
Very interesting...
looks pretty retarded to me... right up there with rom manager. i cant wait to see how it effs things up for some beginner noobie
not all roms work,you may get FCs during setup... yeah looks pretty amazing.
think ill stick to manually wiping and restoring my nandroids after i get them set up.

That's what has kept me from purchasing it. It's been in the market for a few days now but if the rom runs off the sdcard it could cause issues.

On initial setup do you need to reinstall your current rom?

Yes, it runs from the sdcard. Lag is minimal if you let the kernel settle when you boot one up. On my thunderbolt I don't really notice any lag and i don't even overclock.
