its so weird i never had this problem but i look in the app store and its not in there. i tried installing it by installing it with an apk, but everytime i try to install one it says parsing error, i just want to install a recovery because i just got root on this phone im still on stock rom.
I replied on your other thread too, but next time if you do make the mistake of asking a question in General section, don't make a thread in the Q/A, just report your own post and a mod will move it (you won't get infractions etc.)
Anyways this was my reply
Not sure, but here is the direct downloaded ROM Manager (free)

Thanks for the advice, ill admit im a noob at this,
im not used to threads like these, im more of a discussion thread person. But i replied
What version are you running of stock?
if you are running stock 2.1 try this OneClickLagFix any version even the old version works like a charm this will install the CWM on your system and then you wont need
rom manager no more as long as you dont have a 3e recovery this should work

Hey everyone,
I've already rooted my Droid Incredible, and it was an pretty simple process to do. I've browsing around these fascinate forums for a little bit as my wife wants me to root hers to get rid of a lot of the bloat, and possibly check out other Roms. I just want to make sure I'm looking at the correct guides as one says that it is basically old info, and another just seems to be old to me.
So I was just hoping someone could point me in the right direction for a guide is all as if I break her phone, I'm sure she'll Lorena Bobbit me.
Much appreciated!
u dont need to root ur phone if u want install custom rom cos most of custom rom already rooted all have to do is choose what rom u wanna flash and choose the right recovery (use Odin) for that rom and u all good

I'll need root to remove the bloatware like Skype and whatever else, right?

most rom did that for u ..
what he is saying is once you use ODIN to install clockwork recovery, all you do is flash a ROM after wiping and resetting your phone, and you have a custom rom installed. I am assuming your wife's Fassy is running the latest OTA, whichever it is....download ODIN to a PC, there are a couple guides out there that include ODIN, and the ED05 rom/PIT combo. directions are pretty straight forward as most roms have them in the first post. read up on the ROMs and decide which you would like to run, being a Cyanogen man since the OG Droid, I would recommend it...fast, good battery life...but MIUI is a really slick rom as well, a little iphone-ish as you have to have all your apps on your homescreens, but Folders help you there...and you can still have widgets...the ability to have Android widgets are one of the many reasons why iPhones will never be in my hand...
anyway, check out the instructions to unbrick and also to return to anyother rom from a CM7/MIUI build as they completely change the filesystem, so if you want to go back to Touchwiz based roms, you will need to go through ODIN again with the ED05/PIT package before installing TW roms...
enjoy and ask away, plenty of helpful people here, but always search search search, you may find your answer faster than waiting for responses on the forum!
I agree with the above, but if you only want to root the stock rom then follow this guide in link.

I was just curious if someone could point me in the right direction on what i need to do in order to install a nice theme on my phone. I have an i777 and i dont want to brink the thing since I just got it so im only being cautious. Sorry if I posted in the wrong forum im a noob.
install CWM kernel
flash rom of choosing in CWM
flash theme of choosing that works with chosen rom, in CWM
reboot
you arent going to install themes on stock, unrooted, non-cwm....its possible without CWM, but thats above your paygrade

Most themes are made for a specific firmware version or ROM. Usually, Settings > About Phone will tell you in the Build number. (Or just know what ROM you are running).
The themers in the i777 and i9100 sections are both pretty explicit in listing what firmwares their themes are compatible with.

You can flash any ROM you like, your carrier won't notice it. The only thing that may not work is the modem, but guess what? there's plenty of modems you can flash
Keep in mind that once you modify your ROM your warranty will be voided, so back it all up just in case.
If your device is I9100, then look for I9100's ROMs.

1. You can use any I9100 rom if its a UK phone. Just dont try and flash a I9100x rom.
2. See #1.
Please dont make your next questions be silly ones like "how do I root my phone" or "how do I flash a rom", These questions have obviously already been asked/answered already and also covered in sticky topics/guides.
All you need to do is reboot into download mode, flash Siyah kernel, wipe data and then flash whatever rom you choose via recovery.
Ok, cool, many thx guys... & yeah i've backed up my data & efs all ready..
Now i'm gonna go rom crazy for a bit.
lol TheATHEiST.. i was gonna ask just those Q's and ask whats the best rom ?. joke.. i've been reading up on how to do. phone is rooted via the easy not needing an insecure kernel method. gonna try Siyah & a duel boot.
Peace

Good luck.
Don't go bricking now.
Thx G
I have another Q if anyone knows: i'm currently trying out duel boot, but tried one and it wouldn't work and am looking for others to try but not sure if they are comparable or not with duel boot.. so heres my question
The backup i made from the recovery in CWM before trying any ROMS, is it a ROM or just a backup like a ROM ? if i try another rom without duel booting and dont like it or it messes up will my backup put phone EXACTLY back how it was ?
Thx

It's a back up, you can't dual boot a back up. It's just sitting there for a....rainy day.
What ROMs are you trying? what kernel are you using?
Some kernels don't support dual boot, as well as some kernels don't support certain ROMs (like JB leak).
Go ahead and do some research on this matter, you got a lot of material to go around.

Hi again, i must have not been clear in what i meant. (i did edit my previous post to make it clearer but it said i have to wait 5 mins cus i'm a new member.. despite being registered for over 1 yr. my edit must have failed)
i know a backup cant dual boot, what i was asking is; the backup i make in CWM "before" attempting to mess with any ROMs, is it in its itself a ROM ? (or just a none zipped backup).. i was also asking after trying a ROM, if i didn't like it or it messed up my phone would the original backup i make put my phone back EXACTLY as it was ?
In the past few hrs i've tried to dual boot using the Siyah kernel..
1 SuperNexus 2.0 rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076650 stuck on boot saying com.adroid stopped working (or something)
2. SlimBean ROM,, same error
3. Resurrection Remix rom.. it asked which kernel & modem i wanted to install so i aborted.
Due the these errors thats why i asked the above question, that IF i go ahead & try a ROM on its own without dual booting, will my backup put phone how it is now using the backup i made in CWM if things go wrong ?
Thx again for anyhelp
I still would like to try & dual boot but i may leave that for another time & just try a straight rom.
Peace
Another Q, is there a thread that lists all\most or a lot of ROM's, searching is killing me.. and as XDA is sooooooooooo bit i know a thread with them all could be right under my nose.
Thx

Lol, that was some snappy typing.
If things goes south, yes, everything goes back the way it was by the time you backed it up.
What kernel are you using again? Here, have a look.
Thx
I'm using the Siyah kernel.....
Yeah i used the guides linked from that thread but i only tried the 1st method (didn't work) ... now i know my back up is good i think ill go ahead & try the 2nd method.
Thx again G
Good luck man.
Hi
Sorry if the post does not go here.
My question is simple. Im looking to install CM in my galaxy S2 through the Cyanogen Installer. My question is, if I install it with the official installer (which Ive read it should install CM 10.1.3) can I later update it to CM11 thorugh the updater without doing anything else?
Thanks in advanced
Having never used it I can't be sure.....
But one thing i DO know is that CM11 needs a different version of CWM to that needed by CM10.1 to install....
I would be surprised if CM Installer takes care of this for you.....
My wife says I'm a phone geek....She's probably right
Heheheh thats good to be a phone geek.
Ive read that the CM11 uses the new CWM thats why I doubted if the updater could work. But didnt know if the installer when install everything uses already the new CWM. Maybe someone already tried that.
Im using the stock 4.1 for now, but wanted to try the CM11 I really like the new features.
Thanks in advanced
Anyone have a link and instructions to flash from nc5 custom rom to lollipop do I have to change kernel or modem I been reading for ever seems all links are toasted had to wipe and Odin this rom is so stable not one force close need to get my flash on guys what do I need to do I miss the galaxy s2 epic touch was nice so many roms and things to do now can't even get cm 10 . On my note no data guys I could use some help here
First off please use punctuation, it'll make it easy for people to help you. However, what I did was a Odin flash back to stock NK4 then took the OTA for OC5. Did another Odin flash to get TWRP. After that I flashed SU. Then some debloating.
Now I did see some where I think in the General section or Q&A section about flashing OC5 via custom recovery but personally haven't tried it yet.
Please excuse me I'm mobile I wanted to provide link to point you where you need to be.
Or search. Even a little. Saw a thread titled...any guesses? lol accepting bricks as donations. Jk
Thanks! Sorry been a long game time since I've posted or needded help
