I would try Sapphire but honestly, the amount of work put into the BB, I can't. I would lose all of it. Bye Bye custom Dialer (by gflam) bye bye all the work to the framework.apk, services.jar, contacts.apk and phone.apk

Just can't do it man.

ohhh so the one i downloaded was for 2.1 gotcha! thats why there was an error.... but i heard of Sapphire v1.0 so i think im just going to stick with that

Have at it. If I wasn't running BB I would be running Sapphire. That's obviously my opinion though.

Messing up my lunch schedule..lol Oh well, probably inadvertantly saving me money on food at the Reds game tonight.

Saving money is always good! i went to the padres and pirates game and spent nothing even on the tickets! and almost got a HR ball!! i wanted to egt one for my wife! but i didnt want to ruin my hat! lmao, i also thought of running on the field just cuz we were so close!

How would you lose all of it when you assuredly have a backup of it?

Yeah my tickets were free but I can't stay away from Skyline (Cincinnati Restaurant) or beer. Plus the kids are going. Hello hot dogs, cotton candy, ice cream, juice, peanuts.. whatever..

Let me rephrase, In order to use another ROM, I would have to redo all of that in order to get it to work with that ROM. I could always go back to BB and reinstall the theme, my updated frame, services, dialer etc..

I have backups on SP, CLockWOrld, Home Comp and work comp.

Maybe when 4g comes out and there is a Moto phone unlockable. Then I would take the time to merge all of the png files and change the frame etc...

ok new problem well same as before, i downloaded it and i clicked backup current rom and clear stuff, BUT it wouldnt mount to the SD card, so do i have to download again?? or is it on my SD card do you think?

Wouldn't need to do a backup I wouldn't think since you already did one before and didn't change anything. I don't use ROM Manager to get my ROM's, themes, etc.. so I am about to learn something as well.

Flash in SPRecovery and follow the instructions in the link in my signature. ROM Manager doesn't play nicely with FroYo at the moment, and Easy Root is not only made with stolen code, it doesn't do the best jobs at rooting phones, leading to further issues.

OK I'm not going to learn something...lol I use SP Recovery.

He didn't use Easy root I don't think. He didn't even root the phone, someone else did.

Have you already made a backup with RM? If so, you don't need to check that box, just wipe data/cache.

And you don't need to D/L it again. Probably the best way to go about this, because you need to install the ROM zip file and the gapps zip file now, is to select "reboot into recovery" in RM

You wouldn't have to reload any of the theme or customized framework, services, or dialers.....
I do understand about having to customize a new ROM, but it's worth it to have a couple ROMs customized to swap back and forth with.

alright well my dumb a$$ deleted something so i have to do another backup, and doenload it again, haha! i told you im learning though!

Wait, so when you go into RM and select Manage Backups it's not there?

 

[Ryank10909]

New backup being created now, then redownloading, and ill clear and tell you how it went! so far i havent had too many problems doing this, it seems simple on the RM right now.
