I've tried Kenneth's alien Rom and was having issues with both the dialer app and the camera app - both were not installed I even tried flashing the stock cam and the d3 cam, neither did the trick. Fed up with that I installed Navalynt's Cherry pi rom and now the dialer works(whew!) but the camera app is still not appearing in the app drawer... I've already tried flashing both the stock cam and the d3 cam both did nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I haven't had this at all... are you doing wipes before you install? After install are you restoring from a back up? Maybe that back up is the issue but every rom I have had none of those issues

Well, I think the problem was that I was doing wipes with Rom manager and not Tenfar's CWM... I'm gonna install Tenfar's and see if that works for me.
Definitely use tenfars I should have mentioned that rom managers recovery for artist does not seem to work as well

Any pointers on how to install fastboot? I used the auto bootloader unlock and didn't have to install fastboot.
Fastboot is not something you need to install its already on the phone... as far as your computer goes its just a file you have in a directory that you access via commandline

I think there is something wrong with the ROM... I installed it and had problems with the camera/camcorder apps, using both tenfars cwm and ROM managers cwm (* wiping with both). I uninstalled/reinstalled many times and eventually got it working. then my webtop was missing.... so i installed the webtop again and reloaded a backup I made of the alien build 3 with functioning camera app and it was gone again!! any ideas on this?
Edit- new build # 4 has fixes... I rebooted my stock backup with functioning stock camera/camcorder and loaded ROM. rebooted in recovery using both tenfar and ROM manager.. still no camera or camcorder.
Don't use Rom Manager for recovery. It doesn't wipe properly.
Use the recovery here:

They seem to be the same, but they are not. Also, do not update CWM with Rom Manager.

I think I figured it out. I was wiping but not rebooting recovery. its working now. not sure how they are different to be honest with you aside from color rendering, they access the same android recovery mode, no? I have both because I have my backups from ROM manager and tenfars because everyone claims works better.

You do not need to ODIN back... just flash away. You are on 2.0.5 and there were very little changes for .6.
2.1 is going to be a much bigger jump.
Regarding having his ROMs show in Rom Manager... Master and Koush are working to get it to show up. Master has submitted some things to koush on his github I believe... not certain who needs to take what action.
Should I back up current rom, or wipe data & cache before flashing 2.0.6?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Always make a backup.
The rom will wipe data automatically when you flash it.
Because of this, you should use titanium backup to save all of your apps/data so you can restore them easily.
Already titanium backed up everything. this is what the ROM Manager pops up with when I click on the axura file.

If you do not have a nandroid backup then yes, check backup. No need to wipe data.
It'll reboot into recovery, backup, then flash the rom.
Most of us reboot to cwr manuallt to flash.
I wanna use the download feature on the rom manager app, but whenever I select "download rom" from within the rom maager app, it says I must install the cwm recovery. The thing is, I'm already using it, I guess the app just doesn't recognize that. Is it safe for me to continue and install the recovery (considering I'm already running it) or should I not, and forget about the app and the download feature altogether?

Which devs? Not the ones on the SGS2 forums here. I believe every single one of them has advised AGAINST using Rom Manager to install anything. Use CWM recovery directly on the phone. Many people have reported problems trying to use RM. And since you are having a problem with it yourself....
Only very recently over the past day or so has ROM Manager become usable. CM7 is one of the ones that the dev is recommending to use it but up until just recently, it's been highly suggested to avoid using it at all costs.
I believe you can -download- roms off of RomManager. However, installing CWM from RomManager is not recommended, because it will cause an invalid signature error. Still flash CWM using the kernel found in the dev section.

Taken from the OP:
atinm said:
- First time flashing CM 7 to your Galaxy S2 (or coming from another ROM)?
Make sure you're running a rooted device.
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693)
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) - do it for real.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
Optionally install the Google Addon (through ROMManager is easiest)
- Upgrading from earlier CM7?
ROM Manager method:
Install ROMManager Premium.
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Pick Samsung AT&T Galaxy S2.
Choose Download ROMs.
Pick the CyanogenMod Nightlies.
Check the Google Apps addon.
Check Backup current ROM!
Check wipe cache, dalvik cache.
Let ROMManager finish the installation.
Q: How do I go back to a Samsung stock ROM?
A: Just use ClockworkMod or ROM Manager backup/restore facility to go back and forth between stock (or any other ROM) and CM7.
Q: Can I use ROM Manager to install or back up this ROM?
A: Yes.

Phonic, not sure who your refering to when ypu say "every single dev".. there are only a couple.for SGSII- designgears for Cog and Atin for CM, and he already recommended RM so that leaves designgears as "every single dev" and I never said I was having an problem. I also mentioned in my post that CM7 was the only ROM that was available in RM for SGSII. As far as the other comment saying RM shouldn't be used for Galaxy s I guess I dont understand why. I've used it a lot before for CM7 and MiUi.. and now there are more ROMs available (SGSI)
Guys I wouldn't have posted this unless I knew for sure ROM Manager worked and has been used and also mentioned as a method to flashing. Its not fair to the developer for users to go around saying something doesn't work or is highly advised against using when that's not the case at all.

I agree with what he said. I used rom manager to flash cwm after rooting and messed up my cwm. I had to reinstall stock rom and root again to fix it. since then I've read the development section not to use the rom manager.

Right now it looks like the best way to get CWM on your phone is by flashing a kernel with it. Check the Development section. Should be near the top!

Is it possible to flash CWM from rom manager for the Photon and if so which model do you select??
I had the bootstrap on my phone which was from the x2, but I'm not sure if CWM will be the same or if Atrix would be better or if I'm barking up the wrong tree lol.
Basically I flashed a theme and now I have no settings so I can't setup my BT, WiFi, or even install an app on my sd card because I can't change any settings. And I can't flash a new rom/theme without the settings.
EDIT: So I flashed the Atrix recovery from rom manager since a google search said you could and then flash another. Once I did and tried to boot into recovery it said "failed to boot 2"
Do a factory reset through bootstrap. Happened to my buddy last night after applying a theme, he had no settings.
I restored the bootstrap by using titanium backup when I hit that snag last night
Or if you have an backup, you can take the settings app from it and place it in the system apps
LMAO, and why I didn't think of that I have no idea. I've had mybackup pro since I had my Evo over a year ago and use it religiously, until now that is lmao. I just backed it up before I flashed the new theme and didn't even think of that, good looking out guys thanks.
EDIT: Anyone know of another way to flash CWM without using ADB or SDK??
EDIT no. 2: installing from backup didnt work, it prompts me to go to settings because install from unknown sources is blocked and when I try to go to it I get a Force Close.
Is it possible to just put the settings.apk in the right folder with root explorer or something of that naturr?

Why can't you factory reset, and then flash the latest stock build using rsd lite? You should have everything there. Just back your apps up in titanium and restore each one after.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Even doing factory reset using ##786# I couldn't get it to detect in rsdlite using rsd mode on my photon. I found out my rsdlite was an old version and I had a hell of a time finding the newer version (even the links I found on here were broken links) Once I got that I flashed the current sbf, then went about the pudding unlock steps and got it all done.
Hello fellow Touchpad enthusiasts,
I happened to see TWRP has a version 2.4 available to us - http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/tenderloin
I saw it posted in other device forums, but not ours so thought I'd share the news.
About all I can tell you is it installed without any major problems. Nothing else tested other than boot into it and reboot to CM 10. I just moved ver 2.3 and copy/renamed 2.4 into same directory. Only problem encountered was old ver permissions were messed up so had to mess around before I was able to move the old ver. That and I reset permission on new ver to match - forget what I modeled it after - the other recovery uImage since I have them both installed.
As always ymmv.

I read about incompatibility problems between TWRP 2.4.3.0 and TouchPad.
But does anybody know what about the new twrp-2.4.4.0-tenderloin?
Please fulfill:

Above is false. You should use ...
... TWRP with GooManager and ...
... CWM with ROM ToolBox!
I will stick with CWM. Seems stable enough, it works as it should, and I don't mind to scroll through using my volume rocker.

I updated to 2.4.4 but haven't tested yet, but lots of people were having issues on the Nexus 4 on 2.4.3.0 and after the update nobody has any problems. I know the touchpad is a different animal but i bet it works now. No way I'm ever going back to cwm. Twrp has the best setup & all the right features.
Everytime I tried to flash a zip for a bug fix (headphone detection glitch, etc) it would fail in TWRP. Every time. So I went back to CWM. Goomanager is completely unreliable in regards to finding rom updates, etc.

Are you using the latest version? Twrp is working perfectly for me.
Update:
I take my message back. I backed up, did a factory reset, restored my backup, & everything is there except it twrp didn't restore my app data nor my system settings data.
Update:
I just flashed shumash's new build with success. So flashing in twrp is now working fine for me. Going to have to investigate why my restore didn't fully work on my previous post.
Is anybody else using the latest Twrp?

So, I've been on 10.1 for a while, and ever since, I can not Reboot to Recovery using normal options.
The only way I can get in to recovery is to open Rom Manager, flash recovery, then reboot recovery from INSIDE rom manager.
No other way works.
It's kind of annoying. I decided today to flash back to stock using ODIN and start fresh again.
From stock, I install CM7. I can reboot to recovery using CM7 no problem.
From CM7, I install CM10.1 nightly (the latest), and after the phone finally gets in to 10.1, I can no longer reboot to recovery from the reboot menu.
I have to install Rom Manager, then flash recovery from it, then reboot from it.
I have to do this process EVERY time I want to reboot recovery.
Any other way I try, it just reboots normally and not in to recovery.
What gives? Anyone else with this problem?
Thanks.
I just tried to use Terminal Emulator and that fails as well.

It just reboots normal.
