Hey Guys
Bit of a noob here. I got two questions.
Ive just flashed VR3 but the tweaks are scarce is there a way to add more tweaks to VRtweaks?
Second Ive got Rom manager (awsome product) but I cant seem to flash cyanogenmod 7. When i direct Rom Managee to install cyannogenmod from sd it gives me the 3 options 'back up current rom' and so on and asks to boot into recovery and when i press OK nothing happens
Please help!!!

Thank you but when i go into cwm and i navigate to the sd card and select it nothing happens maybe there is a problem with my sd card
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Sd card as instructed or external sd card ???
Is CWM 3e or the required 4
jje
If flashing from cwm remember to flash it twice as per instructions from cm7 thread.
I went from villain to cm7 with no issues. Currently testing it and so far its very decent and fast!

NO 4e = Clockwork mod required to flash custom roms .
Guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125282
Clockworkmod is a 'custom recovery' made by xda member koush. Every phone had a recovery partition designed so that if the user messes up a ROM installation, they can recover their phone. CWM is a modified recovery installed into the recovery partition that allows advanced control over ROM recovery, installation and much more.
Features of CWM include:
- NANDroid Backup, This allows you to completely back up your existing ROM with all its files, data and apps
- Restore Backup, Restores a previous backup (obviously...)
- ROM installation, Allows you to install a ROM contained inside a flashable .zip file
- Wipe data/Factory reset, completely erases all of your data contacts, apps etc, leaving your phone 'as new'
Amongst others...
Thanks guys you have been a major help, I got cyanogenmod working and for me personly it KICKS VILLAINS ASS

Use ROM manager only for updating CM7 version once you're using CM7. WHen you flash an AOSP ROM for the first time it is better to do it manually via CWM with a full wipe.

So I'm really new to custom ROMs and recoveries, and I have a few questions. I already flashed ClockworkMod, but if I want to get rid of it, is deleting the update.zip all I have to do? And if I were to make a backup and then flash a custom ROM, but decided to go back to my recovery, it would be exactly like it was before flashing the custom ROM, correct? I think that's about it, thanks for taking the time to read and answer.
First flash the correct kernel (2.1 or 2.2 ) of the one used for your backup. Then restore. Then delete update.zip
After that it will be how you had it

I think in this case doing you would also need to reset the phone and do a cache wipe as well then reboot and it would see as stock
So how would I get my hands on the stock kernel and flash it?

From your phones browser download the kernel. Once in recovery locate the kernal on your INTERNAL sd card and flash it like you would a rom. Hope that helps

So if im coming from GingerBlur V4.5, how exactly would i do this? Would i open this up and click "Flash CWM recovery" and go from there? Im just curious if this will wipe my phone and reinstall Gingerblur (if i choose), or just another ROM i have stored, or do you have to get the ROMs from the app?
And are all ROMs compatible? Or do they have to be compatible w/ this version of CWM? Sorry for the newb questions...

I think the CWM it installs is for unlocked phones only. So you'd have to unlock your phone first, I believe, in order to flash ROM Manager's CWM.
As for installing all ROMs, it's CWM. So it should be able to install anything. After all, the ROMs are really just pre-boot install scripts, for the most part. The free version of ROM manager has the option to install zips from the internal SD only (as per comments in this thread). It also lists a subset of ROMs, but it looks like it throws an error right now.
cant fastboot flash recovery partition after Rom mngr recovery install
tried to flash back to tenfars recovery after flashing cwm thru rom manager..failed. should i reflash pudding and then try..? or...?
If you install recovery through ROM Manager, the full wipe option does not actually wipe anything. You can still do a wipe by utilizing the -w command via moto-fastboot then install via recovery.

-tried..failed. both ways fastboot and moto-fastboot..
I wanted to ask the question in villain roms thread but was not able to.
Anyway I have just installed the 2.4.2 rom and noticed that the cwm app which I had before is no longer there.
Is this normal?
I was using another custom rom, then used the cwm app to boot into recovery, wiped partition, cache etc before installing the villain rom.
I can still access the cwm by holding vol up, home and power, but liked being able to boot into recovery from within the phone.
I want to know if I can get the app back, and if it's normal for the villain rom to have removed it.
Thanks

Just one more question on this link with the cwm apk http://forum.xda-developers.com/misc.php?do=showattachments&t=1198334
There are two, cwm 2.00 and cwmmanager which one do I use?
No problem
Currently not using Villain, but 99.99% sure I used the cwm 2.00 apk.
Edit 100% sure now - the first link in post #813 on said thread was what I used, that's the cwm 2.00 apk.
Hi,
I didn't want to open a new thread for this,
so I'm using this thread...
Is it possible to install CWM application by taking the CMWManager.apk from a system already having it (different system having a kernel with CWM) and copying it to the system/app folder ...?
I mean, if I install a kernel with CWM (like CF-Root), copy the CWMManager.apk to my SD card, and then copy it back to any other ROM I install in the future, with any kernel, will I have the CWM app in my new system?
Will it work...?

Yes as long as you have a version of ClockworkMod recovery that is supported by the app, aka almost every sgs2 kernel apart from the CM/aosp kernels which use rom manager.

I can confirm this, I have the cwm app running on three devices, all running different software. But because I have clockwork recovery on all 3 devices, the app works fine.
And it does still work with my sgs2 running CM7.
EDIT: Its the tweakmanager app that is dependant on cf-root I think.

I might be wrong, but I think that might be because rom manager uses a 'fake flash'.
Currently rom manager sees the backups I've made using the cwm app, and vice versa.

Nope, you need scripting to flash a whole rom, and that's what makes a zip flushable, the bloody annoying and overly complex edifying scripting.
The tar is just a zimage inside a file!

if you do, I think it may also wipe your sd card so you need to have the Rom on the external sd card, and have the internal one backed up on pc
Most ROM downloads in zip format should flash through cwm and most tar through Odin, however, as previously stated, read installation instructions to be sure.
You also may want to checkout the TWRP recovery, much more efficient IMO
