I recently rooted my phone and flashed the TWRP recovery for it as it was recommended on IRC. One of my favorite apps when I had my rooted 4G was Rom Manager. It allowed me to easily backup and flash roms whenever I pleased.
Is there something similar to that for TWRP? Rom Manager requires having Clockwork Mod recovery to use. Also what are the advantages / disadvantages if any to either recovery?

I like doing everything manually from recovery myself. The advantages of TWRP of CWM is the ease of access of certain options in the menus. I love having the wipe cache and dalvik cache as an option in the install zip menu. You can also change the theme easily. I like the backup options in the Nandroid menu and the fact that it backs up your wimax partition. There are many advantages in TWRP over CWM imo. It is designed for the Evo 3D natively and CWM is a port, so it's options are not designed for the Evo 3D. TWRP is just laid out better and you don't have to scroll through the work no 8 times just to wipe cache. Rom Manager is nice, but even when I did use CWM on my NS4G, I never, ever used the app because I just feel safer doing things manually.
All this is a matter of opinion, so it ultimately is up to you. Maybe the ultimate and best reason to shoose TWRP over CWM is because when you go into the Wipe Menu there is a roll of toilet paper in the background.
There working on something similar to rom manager
Instead of making a new thread ill go ahead and ask here. I'm currently doing a Titanium Backup of my apps / data. I'm also going to do a nandroid backup using TWRP since I've decided to dive into a rom. Are there any other recommended steps I should take before I flash? I hear talk of kernals but know nothing about them.
*Edit
To be more de specific this is the rom I plan on using.
[ROM][8-21-11][2.3.4] gbsense-e3d-deck [0.5]
I read in his thread there was only 2 kernals for 2.3.4, stock and another custom that's floating around.
Sent from my Evo 3D using XDA Premium App
If you are going to a 2.3.4 Rom I would stick with the stock kernel that comes with the Rom for now. Until HTC releases the source for the 2.3.4 kernel we won't have any custom kernels to flash. I would suggest searching here and on Google what is a Linux kernel and what benefits a custom kernel can give you in Android.
Also, if you flash an incompatible kernel it will at least break things like wifi, sms, mms and other functions of the phone and at most completely make your phone unbootable and you will have to nandroid restore.

So in other words i can just flash this Rom and i'm good to go.
Yep. The Rom's always include a kernel. If you want a custom kernel, that is a separate flash. Some Rom's include a custom kernel and some include stock kernels. I will say that I am using a Rom based off the HTC 2.3.4 update and has the stock kernel and it is actually very smooth and runs fast. I really am not sure overclocking is necessary on this phone, especially after all of the Sprint and HTC bloat are taken out. Though I can understand why people want and do overclock, but seriously benchmarks don't mean shiz to me. How the phone runs in real time use and how the battery performs are my greatest concerns.
I had the same question as the OP. It looks like i won't be using rom manager. Can you point me to a step-by-step on rom flashing using TWRP? Thanks. All google searches seem to return flashing "how to's" using CWM Rec.

curious about this too, i've searched here and googled with no luck. everything i find only explains step by step with rom manager/clockwork
i'm assuming you just enter recovery, select install zip -> choose zip to flash -> select your custom rom.zip from the list and then let it do it's thing.
just want to be sure so hopefully someone can confirm or post proper steps.

Assuming you already have S-OFF you just need this file http://www.techerrata.com/android/twrp/PG86IMG-twrp-shooter-1.0.3.zip
*Download flashable zip from the OP and rename it "PG86IMG.zip" (without the quotes)
*Place in the root of the sdcard
*Power off phone (make sure you turn off hot boot or pull the battery when it's off)
*Power on the phone holding power and volume down
*Follow the prompts to flash it
*Delete .zip (PG86IMG.zip) after booting
*Enjoy

Okay, so my HTC Amaze is set up like this: Officially updated to ICS via OTA from Stock gingerbread. Rooted and SuperSU installed via AIO toolkit, bootloader unlocked officially, 4EXT Recovery, and S-ON on stock Sense 3.6 rom. I want to install Speed Rom 6.0, SuperSayain, or FastAmaze (I really want Speed Rom 6.0), but I'm not sure if I can with my current configuration. If I can, can someone please give me specific step by step instructions? If this includes installing something, please include a link. Also, some of the roms mentioned that I need to install a kernel and firmware from ICS. How do I do this, and can someone please tell me where to get the correct downloads. If someone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
BUMP.
Someone please answer...
As per what is said in the speed rom 6 post you only have to worry about installing the ICS stuff if you are on gingerbread. You already updated to ICS so you don't have to worry about it. I have the same config as you and I am running Speed rom 6 so I would say it will work.
As for how: download ROM zip, copy to SD card, BACKUP YOUR NAND! or you'll regret it if something goes wrong, do full wipe with 4EXT, install ROM, reboot, have fun.
Out of curiosity for my own selfish purposes, what carrier are you on?

Oh, I forgot to ask, how do I backup the NAND?
No problem, Beats audio is listed in the change log as being fixed under version 4 so I would assume yes; as far as I know Google Now is not installed but a few seconds on a Google search of "how to install Google now" will give you a guide on how to do it.
As for the Nand backup here's a guide I just found http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-perform-and-restore-a-nandroid-backup/
To add them to the stock ROM I imagine that you would need to edit the ROM itself and essentially create your own custom ROM.
By the way, for future reference, I didn't know all this until I spent the last 2 minutes on Google. It is easy information to find and probably takes more time to ask the question on here then it does to find the answer through a search.
Good luck!
Hi,
I have been using my Asus Prime for several months now without problems. I bought it from another user in May where he had installed a custom rom which I didn't like. After several days of reading I managed to revert to an Asus rom with a build number 9.4.2.21. However now that there is a new firmware for WW version, whenever I try to update, its says I have the latest update!! My Prime is still unlocked if this plays any role.
Any ideas?
If you need any further information please ask.
Thank you
Yannis
Do you know if your prime is rooted? If it is, just install Goomanager from the Play store and have it flash the TWRP Recovery. After that, you should be free to flash whatever Prime ROMs you want, just as long as you follow the instructions in the developers' threads. Personally, I would recommend AndroWook, as it is extremely stable and fast. If you're more adventurous, and willing to put up with some loss of functionality, there are a few pre-release Jelly Bean ROMs floating around as well.

It must be rooted, since I remember using CWM in order to fix it. I also found a goomanager folder in root dire However is there any way to verify that it is rooted? I like to have my Asus as close to stock rom as possible. On the other hand I wouldnt mind any speed increase... I found so far the following 9.4.2.28 roms:

As I said before, the device is unlocked and had the CWM installed.
However why not use the goomanager which seems more easy?

I would recommend using TWRP. It's a bit easier to use and seems to be more reliable than CWM.
As for the ROMs, I would still recommend AndroWook. I used Virtuous, and it's very solid, but AW is just a lot smoother and more optimized. It is a stock-based ROM as well, but there are a few more tweaks that improve the overall performance.

Those are not actually downloaded; they are ROMs that you have the option of downloading through Goomanager. You don't need to worry about deleting them. As for installing TWRP, I don't actually remember what it is that you do to get it. If you go in the Development subforum here, you can find the TWRP thread with instructions on how to install it through GM. From there, you just need to download the ROM file of your choice, do all the necessary wipes, and flash away.

In the upper right hand corner is the drop-down menu. On that menu, tap on "Install Open Recovery Script." That will install TWRP.

It's the best one I've used. Just make sure to do all your wipes, and you'll be good to go. If you don't like it, you can always do a backup and flash Virtuous.
By the way, if you're flashing a lot of ROMs (or even one ROM) you'll want Titanium Backup Pro. It's well worth the $6 it costs in the market to be able to do batch restores of apps with all their data intact.
I just unlocked mine today and I'm not sure where to go from here. Do I need an SD card? And when I reboot the Prime and see "This device is unlocked" in the top corner I press up and all I get is a black screen similar to sleep of death where you have to hold down the power for like 20 seconds to get a response. What's the deal with this?

In the Dev section, there's a stickied thread with videos on how to do all of this. Please go and watch them.
You need to know, that since you've unlocked your prime, you've completely VOIDED ALL WARRANTY. I only say that because if you're asking what to do, then you're very much a noob and maybe you should have read more before you started screwing around.
Now that's done.
The first thing I recommend doing is rooting your device. You need a PC to do it.
Use this method to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706588
Once you've rooted your device, go to the Google Play Store and install GooManager, it is free.
In goo manager, you want to go into the menu, and click Install OpenRecoveryScript. That will install TWRP, which will allow you to install other ROMs and will change that 'black screen' you mentioned into something useful.
Again, please go watch those videos. I recommend installing Andrwook first, it's a modified version of stock and works great. Also, be sure to go through the NVFLASH thread and do that when you feel comfortable with a more dangerous mod that can save your ass down the line.
Hi again,
Androwook installed just fine. First i wiped the cache and delvik cache and then just flashed the rom. I did it twice since i also tested the minimum and typical installations of Androowook. However i am impressed that all my docs are there and so is my game progress. Is there something i should but didn't wipe?

By the way i backed up the previous rom with twrp. Is that ok?
Well, if you're not experiencing problems, you're probably fine, but it is strongly recommended that you do a factory reset before flashing a new ROM.

Use goomanger to install TWRP. CWM is not fully compatible with the Prime at the moment for some reason, and you'll have issues.
Keep getting install failed /system and /data. No os found
what ROM are you trying to install? how did you install TWRP?
by the way, the way it works on this phone is that the recovery is packaged with a kernel. whatever the kernel has, you're stuck with. unless you flash a kernel that has an alternative recovery (example: one of hhp's Devil TWRP kernels) you can't just flash a recovery. so maybe you have a bad flash if you tried doing that.
Also you need to quit spamming every spot in the fascinate fourms.
there are only maybe a dozen of us real active, we can read your posts.
I've explained over and over the process,
Keep on reading, reading and then read some more.
Very thankful for all the help

there are a few radios for the fascinate. the gingerbread radios are EH03 (the one you have right now from the official VZW OTA, i use this one and am ok with it), EC09 (from an old gingerbread leak, some people prefer this radio over the others). i know there's other radios but the only older one you should probably use is ED05 from an old Froyo OTA.
thanks. this upgrade help alot though. have to test yuoube app.also was having issue with that too.
Hi guys,
I'm new here. I didn't root my S3 yet, but I want to do it and install new rom. But first I would need your help with Rom choosing, as I'm completely blind in this matter
The thing is, I would prefer a ROM which let me choose which application I want to install on my phone and which not - check/uncheck option. This rom should be FAST and stable.
As I have no experience at all, I would like to ask you which ROM will be the best for me? Btw, it would be great if I can choose language (Polish).
Hope you will help me
Regards,
Karol
edit: sorry for typo in the topic, impossible to change it now
Hi, I am in the same boat. Stock standard international S3, but extremely slow. Ram usage on startup is 700mb.
Which rom would you guys suggest that is both stable (no bugs), and fast (using much less ram).
This is my everyday phone, I take a lot of photos, especially the camera should be functioning perfectly.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Edit: Last time I rooted and played around with these things were about 3-4 years ago with my Sony X10 mini. I am slowly getting back into it, reading up on the latest rooting apps etc.
@errolpl: Search in development subforum for 'aroma installer'. Usually these ROMs offer only system apps to choose. 3rd party user apps you'll have to install by your own. You can edit the header with edit-function.
@demozzracy: If you want full camera suport, I recommend NCS-ROM: based on last JB-firmware, but brilliant debloated. So slim, fast, battery friendly and all hardware working. I'm testing many LP-ROMs, but they are primarily newer, hardly better (for S3).
@rp158: Thank you!
I was extremely new just a few weeks back as well. I must say that my attempts on finding a solution for my slow S3 has been a rather hard and bumpy road.
To help you save some time, here is what I've gathered so far:
Last time I flashed phone firmware, a couple of years ago, it required a PC, a cable and some funky software.
Then when I flashed my S3 for the first time, about a year ago, I started out with Cyanogenmod and used their app+cable installer. I think this is still the easiest way to root the phone, and get started with custom roms. Even if you plan to use some other rom than Cyanogenmod.
When the phone is rooted you can install TWRP, simply done via an app on the appstore. TWRP is recovery firmware that can stay on the phone, even though you flash new roms. (The phone is divided into several separate sections, bootloader, recovery, actual system, and data area.... I don't even know much about it yet.) The important part is that it is extremely easy to flash new roms using this tool, and a micro SD-card.
Simply drop the rom zip file onto the card and flash them. (For some roms you need to flash some "GAPPS" as well. These are the google apps, like the play store etc. If you don't flash them you can't really use the phone for much.)
This is where the real problems start. Finding the right ROM.
The S3 is old, and only supported up to Jelly Bean for my 1GB international version, or Kitkat if you have one of the 2gb versions.
This has not stopped developers in providing both Kitkat and Lollipop to any version of the S3. However... as eager they are to provide the newest coolest features, just as lazy do they seem to be with their testing. (Sorry guys, but someone has to say it.)
So I've gone through some roms now... none of them really good.
The first Official Cyanogenmod I flashed half a year ago. I used this for almost a year.. but the camera would crash constantly, and the phone was not able to display video. For example movieclips on facebook.
Second ROM: Cyanogenmod has also stopped developing for the S3, so a few weeks back I switched to some unofficial version. It seemed to work... camera and video was ok, and everything had the nice Lollipop feel to it.
However MMS did not work. I could receive one and send one, next ones would require a reboot for them to work. The problem was brought up in the ROM Q/A tread, but the answer from the developer was: Sorry I don't use MMS so I don't really see a problem.
Third: Onto some next rom. This one was tagged STABLE. It was far from it. In fact it was even easier to discover that this rom had the same MMS problem. Because the message app would crash immediately when trying to send one.
4th attemt was the same rom, but a different kernel... still the same problem.
5th rom was Blisspop... Wau, this was beautiful! Cool webpage, Cool animations.... it was just too bad that the site is dead, and that the rom can't even run for 24 hours without the android keyboard crashing 25 times or so. Also Blisspop has OTA updates... the only problem is that it constantly says that there is a new version for the S3.. but the download fails. Apparently some bad change to the website caused this, and apparently this problem has been going on for 3 months without anyone bothering to fix it.
6th was Archidroid. The second to top ROM for the S3. It looks cool, and has many features... but just as other Lollipop ROMs, sending MMS's without error is not one of them....
I've really tried everything. People always says that the MMS problems are due to APN's not being set up correctly, doing some reboots etc.... but trust me... I've set them up so many times you wouldn't belive it.
7th. After reading this thread and rp158's recommendation of NCS-ROM I'm now running that one. Without a single thing being set up, I was able to send and receive MMS's right away.
However... now I'm stuck back at the ugly kitkat look, and Touch wiz.
tl;dr;
So what do I want to say with all this?
Get root and TWRP and start playing around with ROMs
Lollipop does not look like an option for the S3, at least not right now
Don't let yourself be fooled by nice webpages or [STABLE]-tags, or comments that say: "I've been running this since yesterday.. it's 100% stable!"
Timusius thanks a lot for that post.
Puts things in perspective.
As I said in my post, I am ok with the KitKat look, as long as it is stable, I am always on call at work, and cant afford constant phone crashes.
I am going to try the root/twrp to NCS rom in the next couple of days
@Timusius thank you for your post. You help me a lot!

perform a full data wipe means "Factory reset"?
How to flash rom? It's included in the recovery mode?
How to flash SuperSU?

yeah this means doing a "Factory reset", must be done throught Recovery mode, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache.
Put ROM on your SD card, then enter Recovery Mode by pressing Home + Volume UP + Power buttons and ull have smth like:
Install Zip -> Choose Zip from /Storage/Sdcard (External SDcard) , Search for ur ROM file and start flashing :X
Flash the SuperSu .zip file same way as flashing ROM.
