**robert323** · 09-25-2010, 07:12 PM

i want to download cyanogen mod 6.0.0 from the rom manager but there is two kinds one says RC2 and the other just cyanogen 6.0.0 which one is better??? and is there a difference??

**Jerry Hildenbrand** · 09-25-2010, 07:16 PM

RC 2 is the last beta. Use the other one.

The differences are small, and the last beta was left in ROM manager so that when a new RC (Release Candidate) for 6.1 comes along, people can use ROM Manager to auto update from one RC to the next.

also one more question if i install this mod will it delete my apps or delete contacts or anything of that sort??????????

**Jerry Hildenbrand** · 09-25-2010, 07:27 PM

You should wipe everything (Rom Manager will ask you if you want to do this).

Use Titanium backup to back up all your apps.

For your contacts, if you're using Gmail, you'll get them back as soon as you log in on your phone again. For contacts not in gmail, you'll need to add them back -- either by hand, or by syncing them to your computer using HTC sync, then exporting your Windows/Outlook address book as a CSV file. Holler if you need help with that.

how can i backup my apps if titanium only lets 10 apps to back up?

**robert323** · 09-25-2010, 07:44 PM

nvm i got it to back up

**robert323** · 09-25-2010, 07:44 PM

so thats all i am safe to download the rom???

**Jerry Hildenbrand** · 09-25-2010, 07:50 PM

Thats it. Download and flash, then install titanium from the market and restore all your apps and settings!

If you become a nutcase like me and end up flashing everything but the sexy neighbor, I would suggest transferring your APK's to your computer. Here is what you should start off with to become familiar with adb.

This is what you can can do to make it more streamlined in the future when you understand how to push and pull files.

This way you will have a nice tidy place to store excess APK's on your computer when you fill your phone to the brim but dont want to delete them

Edit: fixed the spelling, what a maroon <intended to miss spell moron, way too many bugs bunny cartoons as a kid

Funny I was just loading some apps to my phone through ftp, we are getting closer and closer to cutting the cable.

let me start off by saying THANK YOU! I just came over from XDA and its a nightmare trying to get some help, they tell you to google search it (that didn't help at all), they tell you to search the forum (spent hours searching to no avail), I tried every method (except this one lol) and now i'm trying to flash cm6 again with a custom kernel! Wish me luck!
