Root Hi all... Uber-noob here

can you elaborate more on this, did you build CM9, did it boot, what worked and what did not, thanks


No, I didn't attempt CM9. I'll leave that up to you. Lol. I was just tinkering around with your CM7 build trying to get my feet wet before trying anything bigger. Basically, I was teaching myself Linux, and how to develop for it.

I downloaded the ROM Toolbox (NOT Manager), and it seems to be working really well... backs up apps, moves to and from SD, etc. Kind of an all-in-one.


DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LOAD A ROM FROM IT!!!!! I use Toolbox myself for changing the build props, boot animations, and a few other things, and it's a good app, but the ROMs are not safe for our phones.

I'll remember that... I was just using it to move apps to my SD, because I downloaded A2SD and it didn't like me for some reason. So, would I use ODIN to load ROMs?

No bamachick, Odin is used to A: flash cwm or B: revert back to your original gingerbread rom (sometimes that's needed for some roms).
custom roms are generally installed by "flashing" it's corresponding .zip via cwm.

Please stop in almost every other thread advertising "your" ROM and pushing people to running it. You sound like a desperate used car salesman trying to push somebody into buying a back lot special that's dumping oil all over the parking lot.

People will download whatever they choose, and should not be subjected to somebody pushing something on them.


U rite
