You need koushs recovery for this to work:

1) Go into recovery: turn on phone while holding down both volume buttons,.
2) Using the volume buttons to navigate, select update from zipw, camerca button selects.
3) Now you are in recovery, just select nandroid.
4) once in nandroid, click backup.

Thanks. Where does the backup go? And what do I do with it after the ROM upgrade has completed please?

Hi all,

Thanks to Paul for this custom Rom!
I've got an issue and wonder if anyone can assist.
I loaded the custom recovery image, and assume it worked fine.
Then I attempted to load this custom Rom. Downloaded the zip file, copied to my SD card (renamed to update.zip).
Restarted the device in recovery mode, then selected the update package option.
Immediately after that, my device screen goes black. I've tried it a few times, waited 15 mins, but nothing happens after that so I have to remove the battery and restart.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

It sounds like the behaviour you get after installing custom recovery image 2.0.2.0.

If so, install recovery image 1.8.1.7 again, and go into recovery mode, etc.

You're the man!  Worked like a charm. I loaded 1.8.1.7 and then loaded the custom rom. perfect, thank you!

Hi Paul, loving MCR R1.  Any news on R2?  One feature I would love is multitouch througout the rom because emulators are pretty much useless without it and I have to use my apple keyboard (not very portable), not sure if it's possible to port this onto donut though.

P.S I know this will come in the froyo update but god knows when that'll be.

Cheers

Paul, any chance of upgrading to the latest version of superuser?
It's currently sitting at 2.2.2 I installed it using recovery, but obviously having it included in the kitchen would be best.

I'm having problems with the custom ROM. It boots up to the locked home screen. But when I unlock it, I get the message that the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. The home screen in blank and unresponsive. The menu works though. I have tried with two different custom ROMs.

Restoring the 3883 or 4399 stock build works and is fine, so I have a useable Streak. Just can't use the custom ROM. Any ideas?

Many thanks

I have the exact same error, totally unusable. + ELM error, forced closing.

I own a Streak directly from Dell, unlocked. Is that the problem?

I don't want all the apps from the PB version, so where's the problem with this error?

[zwmg]

With the custom ROM it's unusable because of the Core error.

And with the Prebaked it can't sync contacts. It syncs everything fine but no contacts (currently not possible). I never had that before.

It runs much faster than the stock ROM, so I wanna keep it, but I need the Google Contacts!

I have the prebaked 3883 and syncing of google contacts works fine ( custom ROM hanged at the start up screen so loaded the prebake instead)

I used the 4399 as this was the build of my stock ROM too, and everything worked there, but it was a little slow.

I restored it, it stucked in boot mode. Now after nandroid restore and again applying update.zip, it still doesn't work.

EMList error, I can't get to login google account from data syncronisation screen. Also data somehow seems to be saved (I get prompted back to the login screen), contacts still can't sync.

And custom ROM is totally unusable here with the core error all the time.

Actually I'm very disappointed, didn't think there were so much errors in the PB ROM (and can't even use a ROM "Baked" myself).

I've finally got there.

Paul's custom ROM installed 4399 although my oem ver is 3883
Koush recover ver has to be 1.8.3.7
I'm using stock 4339 r1


I have noticed that 4399 is slower than my 3883 oem build? any particular reason why?

running 4339 the is a noticable lag on selecting home or changing pages

I still have  a problem with ROM manager, it always says recovery failure
gives three options recovery mode is broken
ROM manager doesnt reboot
Other

So I still must have somehting thats wrong

Any ideas
