I installed unrevoked 3 to root my phone and then downloaded Rom Manager. Rom Manager wants to install ClockworkMod Recovery, but it already got installed with unrevoked. Should I let it reinstall it? Is there any reason for me to use Rom Manager on my phone if I have unrevoked 3 rooting?
Unrevoked 3 gives you clockworkmod so you can flash a new ROM. After flashing a Rom, clockwork goes away. ROM Manager gives you access to clockwork at all times. Also, you can download and flash CM6 from it. I shouldn't even have to mention the fact that it keeps track of all your nandoid back-ups. So really, how many times will you be changing ROMs, and how many back-ups will you have? If you flash ROMs alot, keep ROM Manager. Otherwise, you might not need it.
Hope it helps ~ Pete

Clockwork does not "go away" after flashing with Unrevoked once you've flashed a ROM. It replaces stock recovery.
Yea, I actually agree because I just used Clockworkmod to flash CM6 without using RomManager at all. I even made my backup with Clockworkmod - not RomManager. I fail to see why I need RomManager at all and again I'm looking for advice as to what it does that I can't do with clockworkmod directly (backup, flash rom, unmount, etc.)
Does ROM Manager Do Me Any Good?

This reflects my opinion only:
I installed ROM manager, and yes it does have some pretty cool features that can be run from a single screen. Like you, I noticed that it immediately wanted to install clockwork Mod, the exact same version I was already running. I noticed after installing it that it also self installed multiple files and folders. My concern is purely from a security perspective. The icon for the app itself speaks volumes to me! After uninstalling it, I noticed that several files and a folder with an app called download.apk remained on the phone. Along with several other files and folders in the clockwork folder.
Personally, I would be very reluctant to make any credit card purchases or do any smartphone banking after installing this app. I re-rooted and re-flashed my ROM, including re-formatting the SD partition and extended partition, all cache, and wiped the phone to make sure I eliminated every element of ROM manager.
I have found that I can do almost everything through ClockworkMod, but I have to manually download anything I want to flash first.
Again, this reflects my opinion and preferences.

Theres nothing you can do with rom manager that you can't do manually with clockwork or terminal emulator. Clockwork just makes doing those things more convenient. I always flash roms and do nandroids via clockwork and I don't use the other features enough to make rom manager useful for me.
I only use ROM Manager for the fix permissions option.
i also think you can rename your backups with ROM Manager, but i still dont use it.
How would we do this otherwise? If i remember correctly, its not as simple as renaming the folder
It doesn't even give me the option to uninstall from the GUI. Did you have to remove it via command line or is there a better way?
Typing fix_permissions into terminal emulator will rum fix permissions.

You can mount your sd card as storage and rename then with your computer. You can also do it via astro or some other file manager on your phone.

What I do is delete the apps I don't want before I install the rom. Just unzip it, go into the apps folder and delete the apps you don't want and then rezip it all. You can do this on your computer our with astro. Otherwise you have to use cmd prompts.

Nice! If I'd have known it was that easy, I would have been doing that all along. So will this work both ways, could I just as easily add an APK that I wanted?

Yep you just paste the .apk's into the /system/app folder before you re-zip the rom. I have a couple apps that I add before I install a rom.

Does anyone know how to get the stock version of swype that came on the preinstalled 2.2.1 rom onto CM7? The only reason i dont use the beta is because the theme it has is so ugly.
If you want that one. Extract the swype apk and lib file from a rom with it in it

Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
U can download a rom like iced glacier, and you'll need root explorer. extract the the zip. The apk is in system system/ apps. The lib is in the lib folder, although i don't know the name of it. What i do is use search when in the system folder, search swype. The two will show. Then you'll have to put those on the same folders on your system
check filecrop you want wvga version

I was able to put everything in the right folders but when I tried to use swype it had the look of the old swype but no functionality. How so you flash it in recovery like the other guy did?

Check the post below. It's for the G2, but works for MT4G as well (just verified).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9503569&postcount=6
As the post suggests, put your Swype files in the same folder as ADB and you should be fine. Note that you will have to go to Settings > Language & keyboard, and manually enable Swype since it's disabled by default.
is there any free "root manager" app out there i can get for this?

I do believe you can use AndroidMate from the market.
ok, so apparently I don't know what I'm doing lol.
Sorry if this appears totally n00bish but thats what I am.
If I extract the .apk and the libswypecore.so from another Rom and place them into their respective folders on the Rom I'd like to use, (ex. placing swype.apk into the "app" folder on cm7) and then flash the Rom and start from scratch, shouldn't that work?
I actually tried it and it didn't. Am i missing something? I was hoping the answer was that obvious but it failed. Swype shows up but i get "swype package you installed is configured for another device" message and it continues to only function as a regular keyboard.
I'd prefer to avoid going through the CMD prompt on my computer again because without super detailed instructions, I really don't know how to go about doing it. So if anyone, anywhere can help me out it would be super appreciated. I checked the forums and I keep getting lost in the words.
(perhaps shouldn't have rooted my phone if I can't make it that far huh? but we all have to start somewhere I suppose)
Forgive me for making this so long winded but the more details i give up front the less back and forth messages that wing clog up forums.

MT4G stock apps on CM7
how can i get the stock apps like the message app on my CM7. i dont like the old version of it.
i have a great idea for an app to scan your titanium backup folder, and create an update.zip to restore all apps and data after a rom flash.
i have all the details worked out!
i know how to convert the tibu backups to useable restoreable data!
though its not hard.
this could easily be done through a script on pc or possibly through an app.
but i am just not a programmer, in either regard.
need experience with:
creating cwm 2 and 3 flashable zips (edify and scriptify)
possibly other scripting for editing install directory
unpacking tar zip and gz files
creating UI would be nice as well for whichever platform it ends up on pc or app
PM me for more details.
this would be a great tool!
As far as I know, each Titanium backup has 3 files - one bzip2 for the APK, one for the data, and a "properties" file, which containt the market link, app install location, backup date etc...
I think it is possible to write an extention to ClockworkMod/Amon-Ra for restoring Titanium backups. Don't count on me to do it, I don't have any experience with the Linux kernel/Android custom recoveries.
As for a desktop/dalvik application, it should be very simple to pack the backup into a flashable .zip, I'll try to do such an app soon.
Nvm ignore me...
From something awesome
May this help? I'd really like such an app!

The paid version of the app will do this for you. Also let's you decide whether the. Zip is signed or not. Hope this helps.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
i have the paid version and that zip file that it creates only reinstalls titanium backup not all your apps.
so no it doesnt help. i already have the paid version, and understand the features in full.
Thats what my nvm ignore me was about... i thought that update.zip did the apps as well.
Anyway this would be awesome for people who flash a lot of roms

Kick me while I'm down, I thought the Pro Version did that as well. The file it makes certainly looks big enough. I haven't taken a look at it. But my question is how is the update.zip, which I can't get to install, different from just reinstalling the .apks, which is how I get it working in the first place?

Good idea but I think you will run into problems if you restore from recovery... I don't think app ID's (and therefore permissions) will be correct and I don't think the apps will re-link to the market (if the id's aren't correct).
Running the fix permissions script after the restore might solve this.
But, other than selective restore, what benefit would this method have over say simply restoring the /data partition part of your nandroid backup?
Nevertheless, if you need help with updater-scripts send me a PM. If my concerns are unfounded then this is a worthwhile idea.
I post this question in Taboonay 2.2. But I think it may be more appropriate in this Q&A section. Here it goes.
I like Taboonay ROM alot. But I need Acer Sync and this ROM has it removed.
Taboonay Tools has Acer Sync. But when I use Taboonay Tools to get Acer Sync, nothing happens. I couldn't get Acer Sync installed on the tablet using Taboonay Tools. So I am now back to the Stock ROM as Acer Sync is important for me to sync with my outlook contacts and calendars.
Thus my question is, how can I install Acer Sync on to Tablet A500 after Taboonay 2.1 or 2.2 ROM has installed? I already installed Acer Sync on my PC (downloaded from Acer).
I appreciate if anyone who can help me with this. Thanks in advance.
i would say to extract the apk file from another rom who has it and instal it using file explorer instal at system/app
make sure you have su permisiion on file manager app
Thank you for your quick reply. I have tried your approach with root explorer. It won't install as it is a system application. I get installation failed error. If you have done it, can you elaborate it further in detail? Thanks.

You need to extract:
Acersync.apk
Acersync.odex
Acersynchelper.apk
Acersynchelper.odex
from a ROM that has it.
If I was doing it, I'd extract those files from system/app from a stock 3.2 ROM, and inject them into your ROM prior to installing it. That may get you where you need to be.

I did what you said I think:
1) Use root explorer to copy
Acersync.apk
Acersync.odex
Acersynchelper.apk
Acersynchelper.odex
from Stock ROM system/app folder to a external SD card
2) Get in ClockWorkMod and did Wipe Data/factory reset , Cache and dalvik before I installed Taboonay ROM (with updates to 2.2)
3) Use root explorer to copy the above 4 files from SD card to system/app
4) Change the permissions to include user's rights (all three)
5) click install
Then I get installation failed error.
If you get it work, please share with me how you did it. Thank you.

It's labelled ventana32_recovery.img.
I don't know what happened but yesterday, I couldn't even browse the Files folder to view other files.
Thanks for reposting the Nandroid backups!
Yes, you've located the right one if you've got a US tablet.
The gps.conf is modified from the original file that shipped on tablet. This causes updates to fail.
CWM will cause OTA2 to fail during update. My apologies about GPS.conf, I missed that. It is a simple thing to fix.
Also, there are OTA builds that don't require the original files and recovery here in XDA.
I downloaded the 0075_US file. I am looking to replace a couple of system/app files (mainly PinyinIME.apk) as I deleted them before without a backup.

Download the archive and open it with winrar. You will find system.ext4.tar. Open it inside winrar and it will extract it. In the app directory you will find all system apps.
Copy PinyinIME.apk and the odex to your device /system/app and do :
chmod 644 /system/app/PinyinIME.*

Built on: 1838CTO 32GB US Thinkpad Tablet with Gobi 3000 WWAN. No internet connection made during boot. No account information entered. Superuser pre-activated.
You should update to the latest CWM Recovery port, i.e. VENTANA RECOVERY from http://everyrandom.com/files/files.php
BACK-UP YOUR OWN THINKPAD FIRST USING CWR
- and report your experiences afterwards!
UNZIP the folder to /clockworkmod/backup/ on EXTERNAL SD-CARD
Use CWR after a full power down, choose backup/restore, choose restore, choose the backup folder
There are TWO options currently:
NO BLOATWARE 0089 / OTA2.5 -- 350MB zip
No-Bloat 0089/OTA2.5 US Rooted Nandroid - NEW LINK
NO BLOATWARE 0075 / OTA1 -- 330MB zip
NO Bloat 0075 US Rooted Nandroid ZIPPED

pwstein,
Finally got down to restoring your Nandroid backup to my TPT.
However, I kept getting the MD5 checksum mismatch error.
Am downloading again to try and see if it makes any difference.
Do I need to preserve the folder name 0089_US_no-bloat_rooted?

Reloaded the 0089 package but ended up with the same MD5 mismatch error.
Tried this method to recreate the nandroid.md5 but my TPT does not have md5sum even though busybox is already installed.
Anyone has a clue what I can do to overcome this?

Off the top of my head, and I apologize if you have made this apparent elsewhere, are you using a US (or UK) firmware Tablet?

I'm using a US TPT.
Do you think the CWR versions we're using matters?
I've since upgraded the CWR to the version you recommended & so I'm wondering if this is a factor.

I don't know about the different CWM Recovery. I wish I did.
After you have extracted the zip, the folder can be renamed but it should be placed within the backup folder, like:
EXTERNAL SD-CARD ROOT/clockworkmod/backup/0089_US_no-bloat_rooted/**files**
