Just want to be able to use the Rom manager app to manage my backups. I like to organize by the name of the Rom within Rom manager. I may be wrong but going into recovery mode only allows me to see dates and time of backup.

I'm guessing u mean twrp (TeamWin recovery project). I would stick with that, but it's more of a personal preference. Just try both and see what u like best. They are easily flashable with a pc38img.zip through the bootloader.

Yes, I did mean TeamWon recovery. I see there is a way to flash in Rom manager but am unsure if it will conflict with TeamWin recovery.
Thanks!

If its the same as the evo, then it shouldn't. It just replaces the other recovery. If you don't mind doing this, you can get a file manager (like astro) and go into the folder where your backups are and rename the backups. However, I would only use letters, numbers and they default symbol that they use in the backups (usually a - or a .)

All you have to do is download rom manager and flash clockwork from that! I am running it for the same reason you are. The back ups are over a gig though...

What I do is I keep the nandroid backups in a folder on my computer. If I want to flash a recovery (which I never do unless I'm at home anyway), I just mount the SD card and copy over. I only keep one on my card saving those precious GB for other goodies.
Thanks for all ur input. Soon as I get to my PC I will hit the thanks button.

I installed pre beta 3 and then rom manager said I need to insert an sd card. I have one in so I partitioned it and that fixed it. Then I downloaded and installed gapps using cwn recovery. 4.0.1.4 I think. After that there was nothing new in my app drawer. Am I being stupid idk exactly how everything works yet. Would gapps give me market because that's all I really need.

While I have not installed cm7 on my Atrix, I know that on my nook market doesn't show until you set up your Gmail account. Have you done that yet?
Wipe user data and factory reset then they will show

Go to bootloader then recovery find install zip from SD card go into clockworkmod folder find the zip file for gapps which if I'm correct its called go inside me" or something similar and flash it that way. Sometimes when I'm installing roms for reviews that's how I have to do it

Try what I said. Go into recovery then go to install zip from SD card then find clockwork mod folder it should be in there install the zip from there if all else fails find the market apk online. I suggest 4shared just type in apk. Android market

fixed it you have to manually mount system in cwm.

Yes, you can uninstall Rom manager. But don't delete the clockworkmod folder on your sd, it holds your backups and 4ext can restore those.
And if you flashed 4ext, cwm recovery is gone.
thanks wikd,
if i remove rom manager will the folder containing those backups remain?
just a thought im going to copy all backups to my pc.

It should stay, I've flashed a lot or roms and that essentially uninstalls it, but my folder stays.
thanks again wikd,
I copied all backups and roms to my pc,ive now removed rom manager and cwm backup folder is still there.
have checked with es file explorer all seems well !
and again 4ext (free) is great.
Now you have 4ext i advise you install the 4ext updater app
It allows you to update to the latest version through the app, it's great!
Get it here
http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk
thanks 00mpollard,
ill try that.
00mpollard,
is that not what ive got installed already ie free option?
It's the free option yes
00mpollard,
can i update using this free app of 4ext??
Yeah you can
thanks 00mpollard,
could you explain how to update 4ext?

I've already installed the bootstrap recovery and it's working fine, however, I have a question about doing a nandroid backup. When I go to the backup/restore option, I only have 2 options. I believe the options are for the sdcard and the external sdcard. I'm not sure at the moment which one I chose at the time, but the backup files are as listed:
.android_secure.img, cache.img, data.img, nandroid.md5, and system.img
It seems like I'm missing a file, such as boot.img or something else and I don't want to install a custom rom for bootstrap before I know for sure. Also, in the recovery mode, I didn't see an option to nandroid restore.
Can someone explain this?
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
I back up to the external sdcard it can be removed and has more free space.
Boot strap recovery is not the full CWR and doesn't back up all the system files. (I am pretty sure)
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
I know its not the full version of CWR but I was thinking I could do a nandroid backup like normal.
I don't really want to unlock the bootloader yet as I'm in a 4G area.
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
The CWM recovery in the bootstrap is an older version and does not back up the boot.img.
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for your help guys. I may just unlock the bootloader and get a real version of CWM. I just hate to break my 4G.

You ask all the time it seems... And yes! There is the built in backup app and there is titanium backup.
And dont flash your phone to much... You will get bad sectors... Or brick it.

Yes, but it's a good practice to keep a cwm backup always before flashing.
Cwm backup means..
What n all does it backups
Sorry for noon question

sony back up - default restore and back up program of sony (included in the firmware)
titanium - back up system and data same like sony restore and back up apps, but with more options. (with free and paid app from google play), can be used to restore single file.
clockworkmod (cwm) backup - back up of system, boot and data ( these are done in recovery), can be used to restore system only or data only or boot only.
1. cwm (if you are flashing roms) - really need this back up in case of error or not booting
2. titanium if you are restoring single file or freezing apps or converting apps to system apps.

No question is Noob brother!
Cwm is short for ClockWorkMod Recovery by Koush.
After installing a custom kernel you get this recovery. When the phone boots (if you have ulbl) you get a vibe+blue led+white glowing illumination strip all at once... Hit volume up rocker once.
You'll enter cwm.
If you choose backup option from there... It backs up your system, boot, cache, data.
In case of any mistakes or something in future you can always enter cwm and choose restore to bring your phone back to the previous state.
You can go to advanced restore and choose either system/boot/cache/data or all.
Thank... if helpful...

I broke the rule and made a thread before researching thoroughly when I thought my bootloader was messed up so I've edited this post....
What does "update gift" mean?
I figured out that it happens when there is a update.zip and a PJ53IMG.zip on the sd card together but but still not sure what it means

That is really strange. Do you have any .zip files (or any other files that might confuse the bootloader) in the root folder of your SD card?
Yeah I had an update.zip from titanium backup after more refining my google search I found that I needed to get rid of the update.zip
