I thought (that's probably why I'm here) that installing a rom with add-ons in Rom Manager, if I checked the box next to the add on it installed them for me...? I was wrong I take it? But I can't find any of the add ons I checked? Anyone got some instructions for me?

A lot of people here don't use rom manager. I can suggest flashing the addons u want via recovery to get what u want. Its pretty much manually doing what rom manager does. Ull find the addons for each different rom in their respective threads in the dev section
I started off using ROM manager after I first rooted. After one update of CM, the gapps package didn't download correctly, and I had to figure out how to flash manually. After doing so, and reading about some problems with CWM that Amon Ra didn't have, I changed to AR and stopped using ROM manager completely. It is easier to just flash things manually

Well the SPL/Radio dosent matter on the Sapphire so just do it all through rom manager, PS Get That from the market for free
Can you give me a link for the zip files I need as well as some directions on how to update to latest cyanogen rom.
Thanks
Dude I said, download Rom Manager from the market, then flash clockworkmod recovery from rom manager, then download CM6 from the Download Rom section of rom manager

Thanks. One more question. After I install cm6, should I install the google apps? For some reason every time i try and install the updated google maps with the directions people have provided on the internet it seems to not work. Thanks for your patience, obviously I am new to this and am trying to learn so I don't have to ask these kind of questions anymore

No Problem. Good luck bro. You are a braver man than me to try this. I have thought about making my own Rom because every one I try I like some things but not everything. I would be cool to combine features or implement features from other Rom's and take out the things you don't like and have one happy Rom that you created and use designed especially for you! Anyway, let me know the results and how difficult it is and maybe I'll give it a shot.
Alternatively, you can use apps like System App Remover to remove apps though you would have to remove each app individually...
or you could just open the zip file with any zip application and remove the files you want and then flash
ZIP
after unzipping and removing apps does the zip need to be signed before flashing or will it be ok ?

Hi is there somewhere a guide how to flash the ROMs and any list of available ROMs?
Can you advice, recommend some particular ROM?
Hi first of all you have created 2 new threads when you could of created one and asked both questions.
Im assuming that you are rooted looking at your other thread. You need to make sure you have clockworkmod recovery installed, if you haven't the easiest way to do get it is to download ROM manager from the market. Load the app and at the top it will say flash clockworkmod recovery. click on this and this will install CWM recovery for you.
ROM manager is a great tool that les you down load and install ROM's from within the app.
The ROM's available in ROM manager are as follows I'm not going to go in to to much detail, I recommend you have a good read through the dev section about the different ROM's that are available.
CyanogenMod: Is the one of the most popular ROM's available, it is pretty much stock with a few awesome tweaks.
Virtuous: A custom Sense based ROM
MIUI: a really unique ROM that looks more like the iPhone UI, some people love it offers a lot of eye candy and some cool built in features.
There are lots of other ROM's available in the DEV section.
You can download the above ROM's directly from ROM manager and install them really easily just by following the pop ups. Or you can download ROM's from the the DEV forum and place on to your sdcard. Here is a step by step guide.
1, Download your chosen ROM to your sdcard.
2, Reboot in to recovery, select this option from within ROM manager.
3, You will now be in CWM recovery, select back up and restore then backup, this is really important and you should do this before flashing anything. it will enable you to restore you phone to a previous problem free state if you ever mess anything up.
4, Select wipe data, you should do this whenever flashing different types of rom, for example if you are running MIUI and want to switch to virtuous you need to wipe data.
5, Wipe cache, all ways do this regardless of what you are flashing.
6, Head to advance, and wipe dalvik cache.
7, Now time to flash your ROM,
8, Select install zip from sdcard.
9, choose zip from sdcard
10, Navigate to your ROM and select it for flashing.
11, Once complete reboot your phone and you should be running a custom ROM.
It will be worth investing in an app such as titanium backup, this will allow you to back up all your apps and settings, when you install a ROM for the first time and you have to wipe data you will lose everything you have installed and all you settings, Titanium Backup will allow you to restore your apps and setting once you installed a new ROM.
If you want a recommendation for a ROM my personal preference is CM7.
With regards to your other thread, don't worry to much about not having a back up there are guides available for unrooting and going back to stock if you ever need to, not that you will want to after trying custom ROM's
Hope this helps, good luck
Thanks a lot for your reply ,this is exactly what I was looking for now a little calm down

Are you Rooted/S-Off? That's the first requirement.
They should be in case I have proceeded according one of the guides successfully.
However I will check if s-off in bootload but where I can check if rootrd?

I have just done it, it works pretty well.
Superuser still the same problem. However maybe I forget to mention it but I've already installed it. It was installed automatically during I was rooting my phone using adb command. Now I just wanted to update it and the problem appears as I described in one of the previous posts herein.
Maybe it is not necessary to update it but I am curious why this problem occurs.

You have helped already sufficiently a lot.
Now I ma trying to flash the ROM and as the first one I've chosen CM7
Before I'll do it pls confirm if I'm thinking the right way.
First I'll do backup all my apps (also titanium, Superuser and Rom manager need it? I suppose Yes, or somehow they backup automatically?) Maybe better question is what should be backuped, I am asking because on the list in titanium there are also apps like clock which are delivered with the software. You know after flashing a new Rom and restoring all aps I'd like to avoid overwriting them by the backuped ones.
The second is after apps backup I need to move created file from my phone into my PC,right? The same after system backup by clockworkmod recovery?

With titanium you just want to back up user apps and data (apps you have downloaded and installed). You can choose to back up system apps but you don't want to restore them after flashing the new rom.
You don't need to copy back up files to your pc, your memory card will not get wiped during the flashing process.

Ok i was able to extract the images from calks rom using apk manager but really dont know what to do from here well enough to try it. what would i need to do next to get the images in the unnamed file?

idk i extracted both and i cant seem to tell the difference however when i am using the roms i thought there was. who knows...
bump... I'd also like to know how to change my battery indicator. I want to have a numeric percentage up there. i don't want to install an app that adds a separate indicator either. My phone is rooted, and I'm hoping I can do it without installing a custom rom.
Gentlemen, all you have to do is download ROM Toolbox. Once installed, go to interface, then icon changer, there you can choose from a large variety of icons to replace the battery icon.

Awesome, thanks. I checked it out, and it gives a warning that not all the battery icons will work with all phones, due to different increments. Anyone know if the ones with 1% increments will work with the Epic 4G Touch?
It also says that I should do a nandroid backup first, so I'm gonna figure that out before I try out the icon change. The first "how to" that I read for doing a nandroid backup says that I need to install ClockworkMod Recovery, and to do that, "In ROM Manager, tap ‘Flash ClockworkMod Recovery’". I can't find any mention of ClockworkMod Recovery in ROM Manager. I'll look for an alternate way to install CM Recovery, but I thought I'd mention it in case I'm missing something in ROM Manager.

That's basically stock but with XXKTK right? Don't exactly know what that means, but mine is the same but is CWM flashable and works on EXT4, and is pre-rooted with certain tweaks that improve performance.

Nope! Just like regular stock, only better. Sometimes though when you press the home button and you were doing a bunch of stuff it'll take a moment for your homescreen icons and widgets to show, but I think that's just the device and not the ROM. Keep in mind though that it really is just like regular stock; you'll still have the Samsung Apps bloatware and the author had to delete Swype and Maps to make room for CWM application, but if you really want them Maps is available in the Play Store and you get the Swype apk easily for free.
