clockwork mod.
if i want ot recover i neaver wipe davlik or any cache
just restore backup....so its gud if we forget 2 do
i suggest 2 use clockwork mod....we can even use rom manager
Different recoveries cater to different needs. If you want good ext4 support and rom manager integration then use cwm. If you don't care for either of these points(or feel that rom manager is risky) then use amonRa. But keep in mind some roms don't support some recoveries. And for that matter switching between recoveries is a piece of cake thanks to ciaox's flashable zips.

this the first time i'm using Rom Manager Premium and I'v just got an update saying there's a new update for my Progect V rom.
basically every time there's a new version of this rom, i'm doing a clean install which erases all my data.
how basically Rom Manager updates roms? is it doing a clean install or just installing on top? and is it a safe way to update?
EDIT: another question, will it erase all my data while updating?
thanks.
Well i dont use project V rom on rom manager premium, but i do use cm7 nightlies on rom manager premium. On cm7 when u get a update they ask u 3 things:
back up rom
wipe dalvik
wipe data
so download it and see, it probably goes through the same steps of cm7.
is it overall a safer way of flashing roms than using CWN recovery?

There's a difference between the CM7 nightlies and the Samsung roms that are for the galaxy s. A wiping rom vs non wiping is up to the rom maintainer, and there really isn't a way around it.
Get titanium backup pro (the paid version as it allows batch backing up and restoring) and backup your user apps, then you're good to go no matter what type of rom it is.

OK might be silly question but I thought I'd ask, on my dhd to install circle batt mod etc I had to be rooted but since sgs2 has a lovely recovery built in can I use this to flash themes or mods without being rooted? Obviously not roms just mods in .zip format
Anyone?

To install mods of any kind you need to be rooted.
Also a root-kernel comming with CWM recovery instead of the stock one makes many things more easy or even possible at all.
Hey guys I am new to android, and I need some questions answered before I go and start modding/flashing roms. Thanks in advance!! So here they are:
My questions.
1: okay cool, so I've successfully rooted my gio. Awesome, but now I would like to flash cyanogen mod 7.2 or the beta cyanogen 9, but I need clockwork recovery mod. In order to do this i need to place it on the root of my sd card. But how do I properly partition it?
2. I also need to install clockwork recovery mod before I flash a new Rom for my gio. In the thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421650). It mentions something about the ext4 partition and rfs roms. I think it said if I don't have it I have to apply the patch. I am not sure what those mean nor which apply to me. (I am using stock gingerbread 2.3.4)
3. I am interested in overclocking and changing cpu settings for speed and good battery. But I have heard that it may not be supported by stock kernels. So if I do flash cm7 or cm9, does it automatically flash its own kernel that allows that to be done? And if it does, will it be built in so I can do it from settings, or do I have to download the application from Google play?

1. take the app rom manager, the free version from the play store, grant su when asked and install the CWM recovery..
2. never heard of??
3. i think there is already a customer kernel installed, if not, just download one from youre devices xda side and for overclocking you can use the Rom Toolbox or the normal cyanogenmod settings
have fun and dont forget to thank
Thanks alot! So I do not need a special Version of clockwork recovery? Like the one from this thread? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421650). Sorry for the dumb questions, I just dont want to brick it! And i also looked at the rom manager desciption and it says i need a clockwork compatible kernel first?
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
link for the official clockwockmod recovery.. just go down the list until you find samsung galaxy gio and yes i think if you install the recovery via rom manager their shouldnt be any problem
.. the link you wrote is another recovery.. which one is better, id dont know got a nexus no gio
Hi,
I installed CM 7.2.0-RC3
I would like to play around with some other ROMs
My questions are:
1) Any recommendations for some good ROMs? Specially ICS ROMs
2) Should I follow the exact same process as I did with CM (I used ROM Manager and ticked all the boxes - clear dalvik, clear something else etc)
3) I noticed that nandroid does not generate a single zip like flashing ROMs. How do I restore and why would I used this option if I can just re-flash ROM?
Thanks!!!

1. Joker's ICS ROM, Neutrino CM7 ROM, and NottachTrix4G GB ROM
2. Don't use ROM manager to flash ROMS, use a recovery ROM racers ect..
3. For nandroid, I personal do this. I do a backup of a ROM. And when I want to flash the ROM I flash the ROM itself, no Gapps or anything and then I restore the ROM with the nandroid backup.
Hope I answered your questions alright.

I would agree with #1 and #2.
For #3 I would recommend a nandroid backup, then verify the backup before you reboot to make sure it is good. No need IMO to flash the original ROM when restoring from a nandroid. Much more important to do a full wipe first, then just flash your nandroid backup.

ROM Manager is fine as long as you have good experience with your recovery image. It exists for a reason.

AOKP is also a really good ROM. You should check it out.

Well, if ROM manager does the job I think I will use it. I'm assuming it's simply building a script that does everything that's needed.
I really don't have any experience with recovery
As for backups, I think I will simply use Titanium for my Apps and Data. Everything else I need is backed up on Google so I should be fine
Thanks everyone!!!
OK, download gapps from:
http://www.jokersax.com/developer-pages/jokersax/cm9-gapps/
and aokp from http://d-h.st/e7A
Are these ok?
Can I simply go ahead and install through ROM Manager?
Gapps from here
http://goo.im/gapps
*Edit*
Actually I think that AOKP zip comes with gapps as an option in it.
And it doesn't matter if you use ROM manager or not.

Well.... Actually nandroid backup is better than titanium or other things in case you got softbrick after flashing.

So I keep seeing people posting "flash with CWM" CWM is what I have always used on my devices and when we unlocked the N2 it had TWRP on it. So my question is, does it make a difference one or the other? I was thinking of flashing over to CWM but have been enjoying what has been there since I unlocked.
Thanks guys!
sent from my unlocked and overclocked Note 2
Imo cwm is way more reliable, I've never had issues in the 5 years I've been on android and used cwm. I've heard of problems with twrp from time to time, it's up to you though. Some roms can only be flashed through cwm though.
tappin from a paranoid Note II
In the past I had serious issues with CWM and/or Rom Manager. Rom Manager often would not really load CWM when it said it did and CWM would not install roms/kernels. However, that was a few years ago and I've not used it since. I've never had an issue with TWRP and I believe that since their update a few days ago it will flash the AOSP roms too.
They will both do the job.
CWM Now..
I always used TWRP on my Thunderbolt. But now I'm back to CWM on the Note 2 so I can flash ROM's that TWRP doesn't play well with.
Is TWRP, Titanium?

Team Win Recovery Project.
And OP: its a matter of preference ASWELL AS some roms do not play well one. If you are a new user to the overall custom rom scene, I suggest sticking to TWRP. Otherwise if there is a rom that piques your interest use CWM.
I believe you also have the option of swapping between the 2 on the fly, because both are available in zips.
Cwm:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35396518
Just flash from your current recovery and you will be able to use it upon next reboot into recovery. Be it known that CWM doesnt play with exFat SD cards so that is a known issue.
And if you decide you like TWRP better and wany to go back:

That thread should link you to twrp website to get the zip to flash back to twrp.

I think it's all personal preference, I used to use twrp religiously until cwm touch.... I could have the reliability of cwm but with the touch functions of twrp.. No Brainer.

So even when people say flash with CWM like on some of the AOSP ROMs TWRP will work the same?

Some times it will. Sometimes it won't. Don't want to be too reductionist and say its 50/50 but its usually better to stick to what the instructions say unless someone in th3 thread can confirm it works for the other
