How do I switch to another ROM using CWM or ROM manager. I am using CM7 and would like to explore other ROMs. Need HELP tnx

You tend to find the first post of each Rom thread will give you detailed flashing instructions.

Firstly here's a video demonstrating how to flash a rom:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVwiiSStuSQ
Installation Instructions:
BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!!
Download the rom zip (don't rename it!)
Put the downloaded zip file on your internal sdcard
Reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery (don't do this from rom manager, it won't work)
Might need to wipe data and cache and dalvik cache (read the devs instructions)
Select Install zip from sdcard
Select Browse for zip on sdcard
Select the zip file you put on your sdcard above
(Let it flash)
and next time search for the threads instead of creating a new one, because the admins will most probably delete it lol.
Reboot, Enjoy!
Thanks thanks!

First install his rom then connect your phone to your computer and mount. Then put the rom in the internel SD card the one without avatar. Don't rename the file. Then boot into recovery and reinstall packages twice. Then you will be in clockwork wipe factory reset and cache. Then go to install zip from SD card, then choose zip from SD card and find the rom. Don't forget to backup your apparently.

What is the point of making a backup? I mean, you can always go to stock using odin and the JFD tar and pit.
Is backup just to save all your personal files, pics, music, etc?

I have heard this over and over. I only have one question that I could not find anywhere. Do you need to rename the "Ginger_Clone_Final_R2.zip" to update.zip? Everytime I reboot into recovery and try and get ti to install, I get the same message over and over; something to the effect of package not found. Thanks

you don't rename it. maybe your choosing the update zip from sd. it should be choose zip file from sd card then you choose the custom rom you're flashing.

Yea, thanks. I thought that was what I am supposed to do. I don't have that option though. When I reboot into recovery (through ROM Manager or on my own) I only have the STOCK recovery options. For some reason, the Clockworkmod options are not showing up. I noticed this about a month ago. I will have to try and figure that out first. Thanks again.

Have you flashed clockwork recovery from rom manager? If so, when you get into stock recovery just hit reinstall packages to get to cwm. You may have to do that twice to get it to work. If it still doesnt work try reflashing cwm from rom manager.

I had been doing everything right. I had to roll back to CWM version 2.5 (I think it is about 3 or 4 versions earlier than the current one). No wonder they have been making so many updates over the past few days. Well at any rate, I wanted to ensure I wasn't doing anything wrong. i have done it before, but for whatever reason (now known to be CWM) it just wasn't working. I got it fixed and now have 2.3. I will install my apps including Titanium Backup and report any problems. I hope there are none; from what it sounds like, I will probably not have any, but only time will tell. Thanks for posting and confirming that I was not losing my mind.

Does Gtalk also force close? If so, go to the q AND a thread and download the .zip in the link the "Notices" section. Flash it in ClockworkMod, not ROM Manager, just as you would flash a ROM. Reboot, give it 2 tries and it should work fine... Assuming the problem is what I think it is.
So I finally got it installed on my Atrix and the first thing I notice is that there is no Market....
Why???
Why is it missing? and where can I get it?
Read the OP on the CM7 thread. It'll tell you what u need to do.

As mentioned, it is in the post giving instructions, though I'll clarify cause some people may not realize that the market is included in it - but.....
download the google apps through ROM Manager. It's in there.
Which one do I download?! I downloaded the two new ones and I still don't have the market.....

why didnt you follow the instructions and flash the one from ROM manager?
I did but then I got a message saying that there is an Error and I need to prove that Rom Manager Exists. So what the heck do I do? This is getting really annoying.
Flash gapps through cwm.
When in cwm manually mount data before you flash. That should fix it.

How?
Sorry for sounding dumb.
Power off your phone.
Then go to recovery MANUALLY NOT THROUGH ROM manager. Go to mounts and storage.select mount data then flash the .zip

Get Google Apps:
There are no Google Apps bundled with CM ROMs, because Google asked Cyanogen to remove copyrighted apps. After flashing the rom, don't forget to flash Google Addon package if you want it. ROM Manager will allow you to flash it if you just go into it and after flashing the ClockworkMod recovery for Motorola Atrix, choose Download ROMs, and pick Google Apps.
Or download and push the gapps zip for CM7 from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Gapps#Google_Apps to the sdcard and flash it via ClockworkMod recovery. <---------------On CM7 OP! read!
download gapps zip... provided there ^^^^.....put it in sdcard or internal...boot into CWM ..."install zip of sdcard"....choose either..external/internal..flash...done.

Wow i'm an idiot. I forgot about the standard method of flashing. Thanks for slapping me for that one.
how to enable a2sd on stock gingerbread rom(S5830DXKT5)??????
please help!!!!
flash cfroot kernel, download a2sd flashable zip, boot into recovery, mount systen and data, flash the zip file, open market and install a2sdgui.
Sent from your phone
First, you have to flash cf root kernel from Ketut.
After that, flash the a2sd script from Darketremor via Cwm. Don't forget to mount system and data before.
Reboot, the phone should reboot 2 or 3 times, no worries, it's normal!
After that, download a2sdgui from market and enable all the options you need.
And it should work!

Boot into cwm (vol up and home and power). Select full wipe/factory reset, wipe cache partition, go to advanced wipe dalvik cache, then select install custom zip and find its location on sd then aroma installs what u want (choose custom installation). Also yeah this info is in like the 2nd or 3rd post of omega thread but was feeling generous

Hey man, Follow these steps to the Safest way possible:
1-Backup your files or data to Pc/Make a Nandroid Backup IF you want to switch to ur actual Rom.
2-Reboot into recovery mode using CWM ClockWorkMod Manager.
3- in recovery mode choose install zip from Sdcard
4-hover into the Omega Rom which you downloaded and choose it/press Yes and flash it.
If you have any issues with OMEGA rom like force closings or bugs try to wipedata/factory reset and wipe cache and Dalvik cache.
Hope this helped !!
Thanks bro!
