And one more thing! Does it cause issues if I copy a nandroid backup to the computer just for safe-keeping, and then copy it back to the phone in the clockwork recovery folder when I need it?

nope,no issues. i do this all the time.

Thank you so much for all of the information! I am confused though about the titanium backup. Doesn't it back the system data too?

it can restore system data,but you should not. the frameworks of the stock and cm7 roms are completely different. you will be attempting to restore system data to places where there arent places,and trust me,it will cause your phone much confusion,and youll end up having to wipe and start over.

if you are restoring system data from one rom to another,very similar rom,it might be ok to restore system data,but id personally reccomend against it unless youre restoring it to the exact same rom you backed it up from.

i dont back up or restore system data,period. just apps and app data.

Thank you so much! I have CM7 working great! I couldn't have done it without you guys! THANK YOU!!!!!! Now I'm gonna try some other ROMs, and see which one I like the best. Any suggestions?

incredibly re-engineered if you like senze, and dont mind froyo

 

[hancock87]

Sweet! Is that what you else? And anyone else want to chime in? I'm looking for opinions here!

 

[scotty85]

no,i normally run cm7,i much prefer vanilla android. but incredibly re-engineered is a nice rom... pretty much the only sense rom ive ever come back to and used more then once. its been so long since ive ran most of them,that they kind of blend together just read thru the threads and look at screen shots and pick some to try.

one you should look at is liquid metal. i could only use it for a day,but it was defiantely neat and different. its a really funky UI!

Hey, I'm having issues finding md5 sums so I can check them after the download. Is there there a way to check them before download? I downloaded the new liquid metal ui and liquid light but I want to check the sums before flashing, but I can't find them........ any solutions?

 

[hancock87]

Sorry. I should be specific. I know how to check md5sum AFTER download, but what about BEFORE? How do I find those?

 

[scotty85]

the developer will need to post it. if he hasnt put it in the original post, try and search the thread for it. in worse case, you might ask on the thread for it

Ok! Thanks! How do I do a custom boot screen? And where can I find some?
