It puts a custom recovery on your SD card which you can use to backup restore and flash roms, the app can be found on the market and does this all for you
The app also allows you to download roms, backup and flash right from the app so you don't have to even touch the recovery yourself
Root access is required
Would definitely recommend it works very well for me
it is a paid app...
its a free app, but theres also a premium license so you can download roms from within rom manager

Why does no one research before posting
Firstly it is a free app, you can choose to get premium
And no you can download roms within the free app, you don't need to pay for that, you only need to pay for ota custom roms and scheduled back UPS
Once rooted do you still need to have your GoldCard in the phone to use this?

No you do not, possibly if you choose to unroot your phone it may be required again
Also you can use it to install rom, theme, zip that is stored on your sd card!
Not sure if this is correct, I was reading a few posts about Rom manager, apparently if you were to save your apps/settings using the free version of rom manager the apps would not be updateable in the market. You would have to have the paid version of rom manager if you want to be able to update your apps. Is this correct

No. It's a bug that happens sometimes (same goes for Titanium). Usually, downloading any app from the Market solves it.

Thanks for your prompt replies here and in the general section too. I will give it a go sometime. Just looking for a decent boot animation first.

I think this is just about the most exhaustive list of boot animations as you'll find.
Which one do you guys prefer? Flashing with Rom manager or flash manually through recovery?
So if I'm right, with the app, I can just do everything from the app which I normally have to do manually by going to fastboot and recovery? It just automates the whole process of:
turning device off
hold vol down and power up
go into recovery
do whatever you would do in recovery

When you tap to flash a rom it asks if you want to wipe. You can also manually reboot into recovery and there is a wipe option in there.

I prefer RM. Easier to switch on the go.
Sorry for bumping this old thread.
But, I have a question.
Can Rom Manager do a FULL wipe of the system? Thus also the boot en system?

Not completely true I too have downloaded and used the free version as well and have used the menu to flash ra recovery. Try updating it in the market.
I too have rom manger downloaded but I dont get the option for using another recovery does this open up on paid version?
Make sure amon ra recovery is on your SD card
I applied ryanzas lag fix and want to remove it quickly. Will formatting my phone via settings remove it? Does this remove root because I want to keep that.

What version of his lag fix did you apply? You could just use the unlagfix option if you used the market version or the one click.
I did the original the one that required a computer. Can't get to a computer for like couple of days and wondering if I can just remove it doing that method.
Yes formatting your phone.still remove it

I believe if you download the lagfix from the market, you can uninstall it. It gives me an option to remove it.
Search for "lag fix" and you'll find it in the market.

This will only work for lagfix V1+ If I remember correctly. I had installed the one click alpha version via adb and wasn't able to uninstall using the OCLF app. I had to do a complete wipe to get rid of it. The unlagfixme didn't work for me. I installed the app to make life a lil more simple after my wipe.

Do a titanium back up of all of your apps, flash the vibrant stock firmware, or even the new leaked one found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780935
Than use titanium to restore all your stuff, and you will have successfully removed it no matter the version you had used.
I have to go back to odin? You sure the format won't work?

If you did the computer one, you can undo it the same you you applied it, by clicking the file that says "undolagfix" or something similar.
I also installed OCLF but the market version and then I undone everything... But I noticed I still have update.zip should I delete it? Did stock vibrant come with update.zip?

Any idea how long it is supposed to take? I tried to use that and after "allowing" the application from supeuser permissions, it just kinda froze for about 10 minutes, so I rebooted my phone and then i bricked and the phone stayed on a black screen after the samsung G boot screen
I downloaded and installed the nero beta 3 and now I am trying to install nero v1 from rom manager. When I click to make a backup it restarts but puts me in the android boot loader. I do not have an option for backing up. I flashed clockwork twice but still no success.
Did u click reinstall packages or something
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
That is an option in the android boot loader but I did not click that.
I believe its the Rom manager that'd having problems. I reverted back to prior update of rom manager, and it worked. Dont update the latest one in the market. If u have auto, uncheck that, so it wouldn't update your rom manager.

To get into the clockwork after u flash it click reinstall packages and it should reboot and go back to stock mode and click reinstall again and it should come with green text and its clockwork.
If that doesn't work try another idea.

Now that i've finally managed to root my SNS, what should i do now? :O
(What are some good roms, etc)
Look at all of the choices available and find the rom you like the most.
I'd personally recommend,
Lightweight and speed: oxygen
Cm7 is another cool rom
Miui is good as well.
Kernel: netarchys 1.3.7 with proton voltage condolences to undervolt and use voodoo functionality

It allows you to flash custom Roms and perform backups (restore your phone to a given point in time)

OK, now before I rooted my phone I backed up my entire phone (copy and paste to desktop), but I still lost all my apps in the app store? any way of getting these back?

Yes, but you'd have had enabled back up to your Google account before you rooted and have to enable it on the rooted phone again, then the market will try to restore all apps.
If you didn't you got to do it manually (recommend doing it via webside market for easier accessing old apps), then get Titanium Backup and save all your apps.

No. Redownload them and back it up using a backup apply. I'd recommend tianjin backup pro. It costs $6 but its worth it. It backs up ur apps/games and data along with it.
Every rom flash involving a factory reset will wipe your apps. With titanium backup pro, you can one click restore everything

Ok,
Final question is that how do i go about installing the rom? I downloaded it and transferred it to the memory card.
I go into fastboot and into recovery.
Then.?

1. Download the ROM
2. mount the phone's USB
3. put it on the root of the /sdcard/ while mounted
4. unmount
5. go into recovery
6. wipe factory settings, data cache, dalvk cache (advanced)
P.S. i'd recommend getting clockwork 4.0.0.2 from the dev forums, its a lot better. better organization on wipes
7. flash the ROM (if you're flashing CM7, you have to flash Gapps afterwards) [flash zip from sdcard]
this flash applies to any flashable zips including kernels/roms/radios... DO NOT FLASH BOOT ANIMATIONS. you put them in /system/media/ if you choose to do so
8. reboot
how do u install teh clockwork 4.0.0.2?

No? Not sure where you get "HTC Sync" from. This is a Samsung phone, not a HTC one.
Hi, is there a zip or mod that puts recovery/screen grab onto the power menu of the stock N7 Rom? I want to keep stock but also have this. Tried searching but nothing apart from how to on phone models.
