Hi...I flashed to darky rom with "Ficeto_JVB.zip" & "Darky V10 RC5 Final.zip" as mentioned in your step by step guide. I stucked on point 19 ("go to CWM using "long press power button,tap on "Recovery"). I couldn.t see CWM..So I switched off the phone and went to recovery mode by pressing 3 button. Finally it rebooted with darky's booting logo
1.The way I did is correct...?

2.I have seen some video regarding darky's special window animations. (like the window animating from from the corner)..Could you please tell me how to get this...?

Thanks

At the point of 19, i could not see recover..After flashing darky's rom, i can see recovery.

Hi...I found these two in darky's rom...which one is best...?

 "Darky's Resurrection Edition 10.1 (GT-I9000)"

And i found two files:-
1. Ficeto_Deodexed_JVH_I9000_ODIN.zip
2. Ficeto.Deodexed.XWJVH.v2.zip (i think this is CMW).
