[Q] How to back up the ROM

Hi I'm a new Android phone user.
I have used SuperOneClick to root my 2X, so that I can use Droidwall. Everything looks fine.
But I see people suggesting it's better to always backup the original ROM, but I don't know how to do it. I have downloaded ROM Manager from the market, but it seems not supporting 2X yet, is it? Any alternatives?

Get custom recovery ClockWork Mod, which there are links to under 2x Development. With that you can take a full NANDroid backup which basically backs up everything.

Thank you!
But I am still not clear. Do you mean using ROM Manager? I tried "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" and it shows only "Advent Vega" and "Elocity A7" to choose.
If you don't mind, please tell me step by step..

Many thanks!

Hello, I've followed that thread and installed CWM Recovery, that's great!
But I want to ask some more questions. I chose the EXT3 batch file. Could I actually choose EXT4? Will my filesystem be automatically converted to EXT4?
And, is there a newer version than the 3.0.1.4-beta3? I see another thread about the battery status bar mod which mentioned about R3 and R4 versions..
Thanks

The R3/R4 for the battery mod IS NOT related to CWM. Its related to the Rom developed by Paul for the LG 2x which is presently on R4.

Questions on applying themes

Okay I switched from an iPhone to Android because I love alot about the android platform, but something I REALLY loved is the way that I saw black notification bars. I got an optimus v and realize the notification bar is white...I have it rooted and metamorph installed, what themes can I use without screwing up my phone? Also, I can't make an nandroid backup because my phone is not listed in ROM Manager.

Do you have a custom recovery installed? And for the black status bar install AOSP CM7 rom or use uto kitchen to get black status bar on Froyo.
Rom Manager doesn't support the Optimus V. So I wouldn't bother using it it could put your phone into a boot loop.

Thanks for responding. I made a custom status bar with uot kitchen but have a question, is it possible to install it with a rooted, stock rom? And How do you make a backup of the optimus v without clockwork?

You might find more specific (to your phone) info here.

Uto has to be flashed in recovery use xionia recovery . Or use rom tools to push it to the phone. To make a backup install xionia and choose backup and restore then choose backup. If your still on stock recovery I'd suggest downloading and installing a custom recovery. Clockwork only works with cm7 when flashing custom roms. Xionia works with all custom roms. But if you want to stay with the stock rom and make a nandroid backup go with xionia using rom tools. Hope that helped.

Thanks, do you recommend me flashing a certain rom? If so, which one? Does it have everything working such as receiving MMS?

I'm using AOSP CM7 2.3.4 gingerbread port the only thing not working on it is Bluetooth and an alarm clock glitch. The alarm clock glitch is fixable. I don't use either so it doesn't bother me. If you want a good 2.2 froyo rom that has everything working I'd suggest either Harmonia or Bumblebee over at android central. I like AOSP because of the theme Chooser for cm7. There are plenty of mdpi themes for cm7 for our phones.If you decide to use aosp go to romrepo.com download the flash image which is clockwork. Download the latest release of aosp and download the Google app zip. All 3 roms are stable and fast and have the ability to move apps to SD overclocking and more. Just depends on what you want and use honestly. If you have any problems feel free to pm me ill try to help as much as I can.

Hello welcome to the first ever Synyster rom. This is going to be complete 100% dinc stock that i will create from a nandroid back up (im getting a refurbished one today) It will be posted tonight so if anyone wants to be alpha testers PM me or simply comment. Also, if you want to be a tester, i would rather you have a good understanding of rom development. This is so that if you run across a problem you could fix it for me since i know little about this. If you are able to fix something and do it succssfully i will update the post and give you credit for what you did.

nice name.

While I love your enthusiasm, Stock+ is a good stock ROM. There's also several other releases of the OTA on here. If you were to develop another stock ROM for this community, it really wouldn't be a very big contribution.

A community built ROM is kind of a cool idea though.

yea but theres times when im looking for a pure stock rom for it and i can never find it. I love stock plus its great but i have 2 primary reasons for this: giving people a pure stock rom, and giving people a pure stock rom to use as a base. also i plan to do this for several other devices thatll be the point of the synyster stock rom series is to give different phones absolute stock if needed.

why thank you sir xD

Why build from a nandroid when the ruu and otas are available? That makes no sense to me personally.

Might I suggest using the latest OTA? A nandroid backup isn't necessarily the best base for a rom.
If you do end up going the way of a nandroid backup, only use the system and boot images. The data and cache partitions will be created on first boot.
I would also suggest making a /data/app folder in your rom zip for bloat/market apps, so the user can uninstall them easier.

cause im originally making this for normal use like any other rom im just allowing people to use it as a base if they so choose. also alot of people that are new to making roms dont know how to use otas or the ruu so using this would be a great way for them to start out

If you want a stock ROM just use the OTA.
Let me google that for you.

If you are using the kitchen to build your ROMs you are better off using the rom.zip file found in the RUU or one of the other bases already posted on here. There are like 5 or them already. I personally would never use any ROM built off a nandroid even my own. That said I have made my own stock ROMs before using the kitchen and found its best to just use wildstangs gingerbread base which has been cleaned up removing all the Sprint stuff out of it. Saves the time of going in and editing the build.prop file yourself.
To extract the rom.zip file start the RUU and once at the first main screen click Start>Run and type %temp% now, find the newest folder and in there will be a ZIP file called Rom.
Wildstangs base:

Few questions, CWM Backup, Custom Stock, Gingerbread...

Hi All,
Slowly getting use to my Note, and totally loving it... Yes, I have joined this party very late... But trust me, this device is PREMIUM compared to my last phone... So enjoying all what it has to offer...
However....
1) Is there a way to check your backups in CWM?? Just did a backup of what has taken me 2x days to finely tune the ROM.. only to find it failed an MD5 check and so wont restore.... - POINTLESS backup
2) Is there any official Samsung Stock Roms (UK pref / International) that are converted/flashable via CWM?? (Dont mind if they are GB, ICS or JB) I will of course be using Philz Kernel if its ICS based....
3) Are there any CLEAN Gingerbread roms available, either based off official Samsung GB or if there was a clean CM7 build...??
Other than that, I think most things are cool with the N7000
Thank you, Lister

1. Yes go to clockwork mod folder on SD card
2. Yes search for stock DEODEXED ROM
3. Yes search. No cm7 ever though. There is a thread that lists all roms.

Hi AndroidSlave,
Thank you for your prompt answer(s).... Indeed it certainly was helpful for No2)
1:
However, not sure what you mean by going to the folder in CWM?? I was in CWM and started the backup, watched a bit of TV and came back to find the phone had rebooted, didnt tell me if it was successful or not, just ready to use phone again. Would of been nice if CWM had failed for it stay on that screen and show an error. I have since wiped the phone and now the backup is useless... All the files are there, and all 1.2Gb of data is present in seperate files. Not sure if I can flash them one at a time, although not a great way to restore...
2:
Brilliant, thank you... I had no idea that a DEODEXED rom was what I was after, and is indeed a Stock... I have got XXLSZ, is this the latest best one for this????
3:
I did find that thread already, but a lot of the Roms in there are tweaked and not clean/pure.... I wondered if there was a STOCK (DEODEXED) Gingerbread Rom that can be flashed in CWM, or if there was ever a build of CM7 for the N7000 note... As far I can see there is no CM7, which surprises me as the phone shipped with Gingerbread and the phone itself was considered premium at the time, so would of thought the CM team would of done one...??
But yeah, thank you for your help...
When installing a GB rom (beit Stock or AOSP) do I need to use a custom Kernel then, and if so, who???
Thanks, Lister

sorry i misunderstood what you were asking. CWM should NOT automatically reboot, so to me that means you had an unsuccessful backup. It should at the end say something like backup complete... also, regarding a million files in blob folders for CWM, that is not the best format. in backup settings, change the format to "tar" not "dup"

if you want the info, search for the difference b/t deodexed and odexed on google, its interesting..
But yeah LSZ is a little old (almost a year now).
I would go with something XXLT4, LT5, LT6, LT9, or LTA (in order of newest, but there have been no major changes since LT4, so LT4 is fine), if you can find one. be sure to always include /preload in your full wipe procedure when flashing stock roms.
Another option is to just flash a FULL stock ROM, then Flash PhilZ (PC Odin or Mobile Odin) - but beware using odin and not have all the knowledge puts you in the DANGER ZONE of killing your phone with the brick bug

to Install GB via flashable zip, you can flash via Mobile Odin or CWM - or if the thread has special install instructions, follow those
this search string gets a few results

As for CM7, they just never did it... CM9 was first.
Also, I know you're looking for stock stuff right now, but CM10.2 is a MAJOR upgrade from CM7. The official CM10.2 nightlies are pretty amazing.
But thats all opinion, the stock has a lot of cool features and benefits... just not for me (i used to love it, but its too bloated and slow)

a little [HELP] a simple question.

I´ve been using 6.0 roms. But i want to test a 5.1. I know for it to work i have to flash a kernel. (like kryptonian kernel)
The question. If i want to come back to 6.0. What kernel should i use? I am new and i read a lot of things but i dont understand well ( AND I AM BRAZILIAN)
thanks guys!!

You have to back up current kernel and after you do whatever you want restore it.!!!!!

Backup your current rom in TWRP 3.0 including system data and boot.
Try whatever you want and when you are done with it restore backup to get your current rom.
