guys who rooted using supercurio, what apps to use to backup for firmware before flashing to other ROM?

I STRONGLY suggest you readup the features of the roms you wish to flash. You will get yourself into trouble if you don't do that. Do not just jump in to flash the easy way trying to follow some rules without understanding  the features of the rom you wish to flash

The different roms in XDA has these features :

1. Some will wipe clean your phone while some will nbot
2. Some will auto root for you whiloe some will not
3. Some requires you to root it yourself after flashing using an insecure kernel method
4. Some roms required you to wipe clean ( ie factory/hard reset ) ; some will not - is optional step. But my advise is it is better to wipe clean ( hard reset ) so you start with a new plate , again is optional

I always recommend for new users, the easiest way of getting yourself started :

ROOT - easiest method use Supercurio

Rom flash - start with Litening - as using it , you learn how to use Odin. Also flashing this rom will NOT wipe your phone clean

Recovery - use Chainfire v4.0 . You will need recovery installed if you wish to do a nandroid backup and full restore of your rom. Some roms required you to flash using RECOVERY mode and not through Odin. Some roms even auto installed Chainfire recovery when you flash it

So the GOLDEN RULE is please READ the features of the rom you want to flash - check whether it use Odin or through recovery ??? Does it install recovery auto for you ?? Does the rom wipe clean your phone ??

Another GOLDEN rule :

ALWAYS ALWAYS wipe clean cache partition and in ADvanced mode - clear Dalvik cache BEFORE you flash a new rom - this will avoid reboots keep looping or phone fail to boot after flash. This also means it is in a way compulsory you install a RECOVERY first before attempting to flash a new rom. If you are lucky you could have a successful flash; if you are unlucky you will curse yourself because you want a fast way

Hi benny.

I think u'd mentioned this b4 about clearing the cache. There is this "wipe clear cache" and "dalvik cache". I believe these r two diff things am
I right?

I read it in xda forum, there r diff ways to clear these caches (i.e. Wipe clear cache via cwm recovery, dalvik cache via titanium backup pro). My question is, does cwm recovery's wipe clear cache means clearing both cache and dalvik? Normally how do u do it?

This is my main concern...I'm a sensation user, and wud like to swap to sgs...but been reading about the heat issues all over the Internet..so the real question is, does it get hot to the extend where it gets uncomfortable when making PHONE CALSS?? Like ur ears burning? Pls advice n wud love to hear ur opinions

Yes , its normal for duo core ....... Been mentioned alot of times

No shock the price slightly increase due to low in stock

regardless what method is use to root your phone for me best apps to backup and reinstall apps without hassle is titanium backup pro !

i think in CMW can clear both but it is different command/menu. wipe cache is in 1st/front menu. wipe dalvik is in advance menu...

whats your battery lifespan ? mine go down quite fast ...after adjusting the screen brightness okay a bit but still fast....

dun ever swap sensation for galaxy s2. it is just like downgrading.

1) solid and premium aluminum unibody vs. cheap flimsy plastic
2) superbly gorgeous HTC Sense and its social features vs. iOS copycat Touchwiz

surely u will regret once the hype has gone down and u get fed up of flashing and reflashing ur ROM.
