1. Suggest use CF root kernel to root.
2. Yes you will have cwm.
*
thanks.. just remembered this 2..

3. After i flash to Check Rom, will the kernel change to follow Check rom or it will remain as the one i used to root?

4. Where to get kernels?

Added on November 22, 2011, 5:54 pmand also.. do i have to find a specific version of the kernels to match KI2? or any one wll do?

kernel will follow those kernel that use in the checkrom
but you can change to other kernel after flashing checkrom

oh so any kernels we use.. will be overwritten by the kernels used when we flash custom rom?

titanium creates a backup of those files in your SD card (or if u dont have an SD card in the internal memory) its in the folder called Titanium Back Up. Transfer those files to PC. Wipe device. Reinstall titanium (with root of cuz) and put those files back to device, restore, wala

contacts i sync with google account and its automatically downloaded again everytime i change phone/ flash rom

thanks a lot.. silly question here, but how do i sync contacts with google? I'm kinda confused with this.

In your contacts tab, press menu, you will see a merge with google function. If your contacts are sync with google they will have a "g" at the side.

Added on November 22, 2011, 7:40 pm
What is your current rom version? The 2.3.6 we know is for malaysian official G version rom. It will differ from country to country.

Example, malaysian non G is still 2.3.3 while other countries non-G is up to 2.3.5
*
oh so its that? i did it before and it messed up my contacts. and then i read from someone's post that we have to merge them just once then ok edi rite?

the thing is.. if i merge those in my phone with the ones with a G sign, how do i sync the remaining ones in my phone with no G sign?

I did that a long time ago on my HD2 so not really remember. Yes it mess up my contacts and i have to sort it all out, merge, delete extras, etc. until i only got google contacts left. Nothing in phone / sim contacts (deleted all). So after that just sync with google when i change phone or flash new rom. New contacts i auto set as google contact only.

alright i will try it afterwards after i flash to check.. thanks so much for ur help. smile.gif

hi, im interested to flash my current Sensation Rom, Speedmod to Checkrom Revolution HD v3.1.1.
I have downloaded the zip file, it consist of data folder, META-INF folder, sdcard folder, system folder,
flash_image, modem.bin, and zImage.

Do you think I should extract it out or just copy it and paste into my phone and use CMW flash it directly?

TQ

its the 2nd one isnt it? but get more advice first. I'm not really a pro at this.. Stil a flashing virgin. tongue.gif
