Root Rom manager app questions.

[zx12richard]

I've been rooted for a while but I'm afraid to try new rom because I don't know how to install. I have rom manager which roms our best to try and how do I install one?? And if I do try 1 and it doesn't work how do I put my phone back the way it was? Thanks all the help is appreciated some of us just don't have a natural figure it out skills.

First I would not even worry with rom manager

What recovery do you have?

As far as best ROMs depends on what you like I think The most popular is MikG a lot of people around here like it. Check out the ROMs and Kernels sticky up top.

You always always always want to do a Nandroid before doing anything to your phone. A nandroid will return your phone back to the condition it was in before you changed ROMs. NOTE THIS IS SOFTWARE ONLY. If something happends to your hardware a Nandroid probably wont be of help.

Also you will want to backup your phone with Titanium Backup. Just when doing a Restore from Titanium backup on a new rom never ever restore System DATA. You may restore user app data.

Read the flash guide in my sig it will explain the process

first off happy xmas and have a merry new year, welcome to the forums!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i agree with argedion, never use rom manager. it is way to buggy and causes more issues then they are worth. do everything in recovery. also i would ditch clockwork mod recovery as well and switch to amon ra.

please read the http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...ooting-dummies-guide-gingerbread-edition.html. it has sections on how to switch recoveries and then how to flash roms. it also has argedion's very thorough guide to flash roms properly.

also please feel free to ask questions if you have them.
