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.

Interesting, i didn't think it would work so well, it's mainly that we can't use rom manager on kernels with CWM based of chainfires version of it, rather than a "stock" cwm version

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.

Yeh, you can't flash cwm from rom manager without a cwm kernel, and due to modifications made by chainfire this cwm img won't work with rom manager, so says his thread

.tar kernels can be flashed via the cwm manager App.

By the way,
Is it possible to flash a full ROM from a TAR file using this "Flash Kernel" option in CWM manager app...?
Or is it limited to kernels only?

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!

It depends on your phone model. Because you mentioned flashtool I'm assuming you have an Xperia device. You can't flash kernels from cwm.

The post above answered your question and the answer is NO.
OK and thanks.
Thank you very much for the information
Hello everybody,
Please bear with me a little and if you would like to answer, please give as much details as possible.
I have and Xperia Acro S, with unlocked boot loader running a custom rom with stock kernel 4.0.4, and I have root access, and CWM installed.
I am trying to install a cyanogen based rom, with a custom kernel obviously.
I have downloaded a zip file which contains a boot.img file.
The developer asked to flash the boot.img using flashtool first, then to flash the rom with cwm. And here's my question(s)
As I understood, this boot.img contains the kernel, do I need to use flashtool if I already have CWM installed, or would CWM install the kernel also?
And let's say i extracted the boot.img from the zip file and flashed it, wouldn't this remove CWM from the phone?
And then, should the boot.img stay inside the zip file while flashing it with CWM later? or should i remove it because CWM can't flash boot.img?
I have successfully installed cyanogen roms on nexus s, with CWM alone, and the phone booted normally, and I suppose it replaced the kernel correctly, or it didn't?
And please if you could explain what exactly this boot.img is, and how is it different from a normal kernel file inside the zip, does it also contain a recovery? you get my point.
Thanks for reading so far, and thanks in advance for any answers.
i have xperia tipo and when i go to flash vengeance kernel with flashtool says:you need to be root and e.g.
i have unlocked bootloader and rooted phone!!!!!!!!please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!(sorry for my bad english)

boot into CWM recovery. wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. apply zip from sdcard. choose zip and installing..then again choose zip from sdcard and select gapps.zip. is this the procedure you are following? I do the same everytime and faced no problems till now. you ahould have the gapps.zip of the respective rom you flash prior to it.

that is a .tar file buddy. You can't flash it thriugh recovery. you have to put your mobile into download mode , connect to pc via uab. start desktop odin, select pda and then CWMtouch.tar file and hit start. then once you see the pass, it is done.

You didn't give enough info. If you are completely stock, then no. But if you have previously flashed a custom recovery (CWR or TWRP), if you update TWRP it will root your phone.
