1.Hi why does one say get litening and stay away from villain for beginner? If they way to root for.both are the same than why does one say that that the latter are not for begginner?
2.how about cyanogenmod7 compared to litening?
3.there are many version of litening which are for which or the bigger the number the latest it is?
4. i understand that in order to backup the rom i need a clockworkmod;
-what is clockworkmod image?
-do i need an sdcard to backup and image gile of my current os before flash a new os?
1. Villain rom you must root first to get cwm, before you flash the rom from recovery. Furthermore, vilain included some tweak which may confuses new users. For litening, a beginner just need to flash zip file directly from Odin. It will auto root for you.
2. Benny advises that as a starter, litening rom is easier to flash. Just get Odin and flash. CM7 is built on android open source project which is completely diffirent from Samsung based built, which mean you must know which app, kernel does not work with CM7. As quoted from xda forum, " if you don't know what you are doing, stay away from it". You may want to read a lot before you flash cm7 but not very tough once you understand.
3. Get the latest, I think still version 5.0
4. Yes please get a SD card. Using cwm to backup will go to externel SD card.
