[Q] Any luck with Rom Manager? - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

Now that we have a CWM image that works with the Flyer, has anyone started working with @koush to get our CWM image on the Rom Manager list?
I would like to be able to use Rom Manager, but it requires CWM to be installed by the app.

Honestly I think he should support multiple recoveries. Why only cwm?

Express/Flyer Rom Manager Workaround
I have the View (Express) and I used a little workaround until its recovery is listed. I copied and edited the .settings file from my 3d's clockworkmod directory changing the detected_device from "shooter" to "express". Then, I overwrote the original .settings file in my View's clockworkmod directory with the edited one, rebooted and Rom Manager recognizes recovery and allows me to peform all functions except Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. I've pasted the contents of that file below and I've also included a zipped copy. Try changing "express" to "flyer" and see how it goes.
{"paypal_transaction_id":"","is_clockworkmod":true ,"current_recovery_version":"3.0.0.5","detected_de vice":"express","flash_recovery":"","readonly_reco very":false,"recovery_timestamp":1312091378056,"re boot_recovery":""}

Awesome mate!
Could you patch that also for the flyer, then I could add the patched version to my rom? (I have so many things to do..)
That would be great

Works great with my Flyer 3G/Wifi. I just started a backup using Rom Manager - Very nice.
I used your .settings file and modified "express" to read "flyer" as you suggested. I simply replaced the existing .settings file in /sdcard/clockworkmod with the new one attached.
Cheers!

strange as i have just installed rom manager onto my flyer and clicked reboot into recovery and it did this just fine, no work around needed.
is this needed for backing up etc as i already did this in the recovery menu not via rom manager

You may or may not need it, but it's fixed these problems for some: When selecting "Download ROM", "Check for ROM Updates", "Install from QR Code", "Manage and Restore Backups", "Backup Current ROM", "Partition SD Card", or "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" most people encounter the error "You must have ClockworkMod Recovery installed before continuing! Install the recovery through ROM Manager first". When "Install ROM from SD Card" is selected a warning is displayed "Flashing an update package on a recovery other than ClockworkMod Recovery may not work properly. Proceed?

Yeah it restarts to recovery fine but in Tom manager it didn't allow to backup or manage until I changed settings

In ROM Manager, press menu, then 'manual flash override'
