[Q] Questions regarding CM7 and MUIU

[LazerOrca]

As of right now I have flashed CM7 from this thread...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142872

1. Since when one flashes CM7, the file systems are converted to MTD... If I decided to flash MUIU, everything should still remain intact correct?

2. In the thread mentioned above, it says that I should not flash ROMs through CWM anymore after flashing CM7... What other methods of flashing ROMs can one use besides Odin? Why is this the case? and is there any other method to flash ROMs just using my mesmerize and not a computer?

3. If I were to flash MUIU, is there anyway to keep all of my apps, the accompanying data (settings, stored data, etc..) with the apps, contacts, old text messages, and so on??? Can I use this data interchangably between ROM flashes?

Thanks in advance...

As for flashing. What that means is not to use the three finger method anymore and to only use the recovery gotten to by holding power. Choosing reboot then choosing recovery.

As for MIUI what I would do is make a backup in the recovery I mentioned above. Then you can use an app like titanium backup to backup your apps before flashing MIUI. You can then flash MIUI in the same recovery mentioned above and your apps should be fine. If not. Then you can restore them with titanium backup.
Then in the event you don't like MIUI. You can go back to recovery and just restore the backup you made previous and be back on cm7

sweet...
Thank you so much for your help. I am about to give it a try.

which version of MUIU would you recommend??? I see that there are issues with WiFi.

Honestly man, I haven't tried MIUI personally. I would recommend reading through the thread and just seeing which version most people are staying with. I wish I could give ya more but without trying it myself that's the best I can tell ya.

where would I find my contacts in titanium backup if I want to restore it individually and not using batch?

 

[scarmon25]

I would use Google to back them up. I personally don't use titanium. I used the advanced restore option in CWM. But for contacts. I would let Google sync them. That way as soon as you sign in on your.phone they restore.

for the miui questions, I have used it since 6.2 and it is my favorite rom. I am currently running 1.7.29 from rootzwiki and it works great, no issues.
