Are you on Froyo . You can use manual force install : Settings/Applications -= select the app and choose move to card
Widgets andd system utilities should stay in phone memory

There are also several types of apps you can use - in market just search for apps2SD, apps 2 SD, sd manager etc

Use z4root to root - 2 secs kautim !
Flash using SUT - under 8 minutes , new rom on phone

So in 10 minutes you will have a brand new experience. However I'd suggest if you are new to Android, should spend a day or two on the stock 2.1 rom so you can appreciate the improvement and benefits better with Froyo

Refer sales link : http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1810561

I'd recommend SunGlobal as it is 1800mAH at RM 45 vs Fiorano RM 35 only 1200mAH

Need more information - what rom are you on now ? If on stock you will just have a basic stock recovery with limited features. To go to recovery - press simultaneously the camera, vol up and power switch

For fastboot - your phone can only be successfully connect with PC if you have installed the USB drivers

Please spend time read post 1 - all the guide and link to tutorial is nicely put up there
z4root is an app to root the phone

It is better to install rom manager before you flash any new rom. With rom manager you installed you can than backup your rom first. Your rom will be saved in the sd card under clockworkmod/backup folder. If you view the file contents, you will see several img files and a md5 file

You can still install rom manager after you have flash Phantom KIng rom

Actually I don't really understand your issue as you are writing in broken english

When you select restore , rom manager will show you a list of all your saved backups. These backups are usually named with a date eg 2011-03-21-xxxxx. It is a good practice after backup to rename this \backup folder for future easy reference, eg I will rename it as 20110324Phantom KIng rev2, 20110316StockEclair21 etc - it is up to you how to rename ; for me the date of backup and the rom details is sufficient

The guide and tutorial in post #1 ASSUMES that one understand some basics of Android. It is difficult to have the TS to write down a detail step by step instructions . The TS will have to assume you already know your ABC. He cannot start to write to teach you the ABC. So I suggest if you are new to Android, do some readup on basic tec terms - understand what is root, how to install apps, what is APK, what is memory, what is apps 2 SD , what is market, how to enable access to paid apps market etc etc etc
In this Android forum, look at the STICKY threads above - you can refer there for the basics

So basically your scenario is this :

First time - you install rom manager and has successfully make a backup - you have described so

Than you flash a new rom

However when you launch rom manager - you are unable to see rom manager recovery menu. What you have is actually the STOCK recovery menu which does NOT have the backup/restore choices - right ?

There is absolutley no problem to install rom manager after you have flash a new rom,. Launch it and tap first time - flash clockwork recovery . This will NEVER do anu harm to your phone.

Did you try to access recovery thro the 3 buttons. Switch off phone. Simultaneously press camera-volup-power buttons . If you still unable to see rom manager recovery , means your rom manager installation is corrupted. Uninstall it , reset and reinstall , launch, flash recovery

. However the version should be 2.5.1.8 if you have successfully latest flash recovery from rom manager

2.5.1.3 is fine and you should see the recovery menu as shown. Try uninstall and reinstall rom manager. If still cannot my only conclusion your SD card problem probably

This is obvious your phone is not being detected by PC so the SUT process fail. Just check with the phone on , connect to PC - did you see any error message at the right hand side of the bottom bar. The first time you connect, the PC will install the drivers and you will see message new hardware detected follow by PC install drivers

Added on March 28, 2011, 6:19 pmThis just shows your phone is in download mode. There will be no response at all. You have to connect to PC so that the rom can be flash on it

The first time when you run the setup.exe of SUT - did you see the installation progress bar of the phone drivers and USB drivers ?? Why don't you run the SUT setup again. After complete , with your phone on, connect it to PC - if you see successful detection - it should be alright than. If the PC fail to detect, go to Device Manager and check whether you see any YEllow colored highlights of failed detection of hardware. Select the yellowed items and choose to reinstall drivers - allow auto selection
What windows OS are you on ?? I have read that XP might have issues and you need to go through such steps. There will be no such issues with Win7

Did you read my post # 821 above

It has nothing to do with it. I still think you did not do a successful installation of SUT setup. Just run the setup,exe file. It will auto detect your windows platform

Last resort, download the android sdk - this will install generic android usb drivers. After you download it, run the program. Locate where you extracted the SDK files, execute the SDK manager

Just my 2 sens on basic economics : Everything is peg to the US$ and the ringgit is weaker than the S$. Dollar for dollar the purchasing power is stronger in Spore. A fresh graduate in Spore earns S$ 2500, similar to Msia but RM 2500. This fresh grad just need to pay say S$700 while the Msian grad needs to pay RM 2000 . This means if 10 M'sians can afford to buy, at least 20 or more Singaporeans can similarly afford

The number of smartphone users is greater in Spore mainly due to the country higher literacy and generally better education standards. Just look around you in say a typical kopitiam, how many you see using smartphones costing above RM 1500. In KL maybe 50 %, in other towns maybe 10 %. In Spore - possibly 90 % cos comparatively is cheap ???

So basically a higher sales volume can only justify a lower selling price

Sales will be purely based on POTENTIAL customer base. It does not mean a higher population means a higher customer base. Back to my analogy, Spore population is about 4 million - ask yourself how many % of it will buy a smartphone costing S$700 and above. Now ask in Msia even with 15 million - how many % will buy a smartphone costing above RM 1500. Purchasing power will depend on available disposal income. One need not to do much research , the Spore numbers will be higher than Msia . Just look at GDP - Spore 2009 GDP is US 189 billion while Msia with a bigger population is only US$193 billion - so you can see how can Msia purchasing power compete especially in high tech items

Read this article : http://www.asiaone.com/Business/News/My%2B...0626-72979.html

Spore is now rank no 7 in having the fastest growing number of millionaires - Msia is not even in the list. Topping the top-10 list was India, followed by China. Other countries in the top 10 list are Brazil, which took the third spot, followed by South Korea, Indonesia, Slovakia, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, Czech Republic and Russia. So if you are an industrilist wishing to sell expensive stuffs - will you want to sell it in Msia or Spore ??
