ROM tool box better than ROM manager? - Atrix 4G General

So i was browsing market apps yesterday and ran across ROM toolbox (formerly Liberty toolbox).
After downloading it I was amazed at how much more functionality and options it brings to the table when compared to ROM manager.
Basic Comparison:
ROM MANAGER
Flash CWM
Reboot into Recovery
Install Rom from SD Card
Download Roms and Check for Updates
Install from QR Code
Manage and Restore backups
Nandroid backup
Fix permissions
Partition Sd Card
Pro Price: $5.99
ROM TOOLBOX
Download Roms and Check for Update
Install Rom from SD Card
Manage and Create Nandroid backups
Wipe Cache Data Dalvik and battery stats
Change battery Icon and System Fonts
data and system app manager (unisntall , freeze, clear cache etc
app backup and restore
Batch apk install
Set min/ max CPU frequency
Scaling governor ( performance/powersave)
Sysctl config
Minimum free memory taskiller will keep
Zip align system and data apps
Fix permissions
Run custom scripts
Mount /system as writable
Block ads via hosts file (who doesn't like this)!
Enable disable boot animation
File manager, Change LCD density, Change VM heap size
Change wifi scan interval
More stuff that I skipped
Pro Price: $5.00
In a nut shell, its like ROM manager combined with ad free, titanium backup, set CPU, and root explorer for only $5.00
I know people around here think that ROM manager is the best thing since sliced bread but was curious to see you guys opinions on ROM toolbox.
Anyone have the pro version??

Your right...it rocks!!! It can even enable powersave on setcpu!!!

Agreed, will definitely purchase the pro version.

So you're comparing apples to oranges, I don't see the point.
ROM Manager is an application designed to flash zips, install ROMs and make full nandroid backups from inside Android using CWM recovery.
ROM Toolbox looks like a set of tools that might be useful if you're rooted or using a custom ROM.

Actually no, ROM toolbox makes nandroid backups and flashes ROMs too, only with a lot more options and functionality. So its apples to apples my friend.. Or oranges to oranges

Looking in https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox it's supposed to be able to flash ROMs too hmm

Just downloaded it, nice...
Has anyone tried Root Toolbox. There is a free and a pro version.

Looks like a great app.

Both are very useful because of total different Apps. But you could compare Absolute System Tool and Root Toolbox
Form is temporary but Class is permanent. I love Liverpool FC.

Thanks for reminding me about this. I had found it before we had the unlocked boot loader and most of the options weren't applicable yet. I am definitely going to go grab this right up.

I am glad you guys have found this useful. I will update the OP later with a side by side comparison for the non-believers..
If anyone bought the pro version I would like to know the differences between it and the the free because I am certainly contemplating buying it myself.

I downloaded it to try it out, but it turns out I'm missing busybox.
I'm rooted on stock 2.3.4, unlocked bl.
I thought the Atrix came with its own busybox installation, or am I wrong? I seem to recall something posted by designgears that it had it in its stock rom.
If not, would installing busybox from the market be safe?

I dont think stock ROM comes with busybox.
But you should be fine downloading "busybox installer" from the market. Mine is installed to /system/bin and everything works great.
The creator of ROM toolbox also has a busybox installer app. Get the one by jrummy

Either or:
https://market.android.com/details?id=stericson.busybox&feature=search_result
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.busybox.installer&feature=search_result
Both Busybox are alright to use.

Wow, toolbox is great. Im thinking about getting pro with my next paycheck. Any feedback from anyone with it would be greatly appreciated.
Mobile Glowy Atrix.

ya I have the pro.... haven't done to much with it yet cause I Do Not have my Boot Loader Unlocked so I've been cautious on what I try.. I know that Rom manager is mainly for an unlocked boot, I have backed up my apps and changed my system fonts, don't no if I can back up my rom or not..... here's a pic of my font

Are there any features included in the pro version that are not in the free version?? Just curious, but it looks like I'm going to purchase it either way.
Also, what are you waiting for???? get to unlocking that bootloader !

Its a great application and the dev is fantastic. The bad thing can't download ATRIX roms yet because it isn't supported fully.

Rom toolbox is great but what is the one thing you need for flashing roms... Let's see uh RECOVERY, which rom toolbox doesn't give you so it really is comparing apples to oranges
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

It's more like comparing the features that utilizes "Recovery" because you don't need Rom Manager to get recovery either. Actually, the fine people here at XDA had a working recovery before Rom Manager's CWM was working on the Atrix.
The beautiful part about this is we all can make our own choices.

Stock 2.1 build.prop fingerprint

I have a rooted Aria running a stripped down stock rom. Unfortunately, this has some unwanted side effects on the android market. Does anyone have the factory fingerprint lines from the boot.prop file?
Mine is:
ro.build.fingerprint=cingular_us/htc_liberty/liberty/liberty:2.1-update1/ERE27/1.25.502.12_192055:user/release-keys
ro.product.version=1.25.502.12
This is from the rock-stock HTC rom from htc.com:
ro.build.fingerprint=cingular_us/htc_liberty/liberty/liberty:2.1-update1/ERE27/179042:user/release-keys
ro.product.version=1.25.502.2
I have one (I assume you meant build.prop) from Liberated Aria r012 that works fine in the market:
ro.build.fingerprint=cingular_us/htc_liberty/liberty/liberty:2.1-update1/ERE27/179042:user/release-keys
ro.product.version=Liberated Aria R012 (US)
If you don't like that, there is another thread in this forum where Attn1 has posted the stock roms that you can unzip and get that file.
Yes thank you, that's what I needed. It looks like the liberated rom I am running has an update to fix this issue for me, r012. Which is good because I couldnt get any of my apps to mount /system in r/w mode. Unfortunately, new rom don't seem to fix this for me, still can't see square on the market... Must be something to do with the date wipe requirement. Need to find out how that works.

You need to wipe market data. You can use Titanium backup. You can mount /system r/w from recovery only.
bkmo, your the man (twice, once for the other post! ! Downloaded the free version of titanium, selected the market app for backup, deleted all data and it worked like a charm! Excellent advice, none of the other methods were working for me!
Hurray!
Using the following instructions and the old Aria fingerprint from here I was able download protected apps from the market again. I did need to reboot my Aria into recovery mode to move the build.prop file and clear the Market app cache before it worked though.
http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...ected-app-market-fix-tutorial-build-prop.html
Someone should make an app for this (and that would remove it when its finally fixed for real), just like the Eris Market Fix app.

Daily Briefing lost after upgrading from Bionix-V 1.2.1 to 1.3.1

I currently have Bionix-V 1.2.1 + Overstock 1.4 on my phone. When I use the camera shooting a picture, I don't get the picture on screen as it used to, and sometimes the phone either freezes or automatically reboots . Does this occur to anyone? What could be the source of the problem, the ROM or the kernel?
Another question is that, if I upgrade my ROM from Bionix-V 1.2.1 to 1.3.1, would I be able to retrieve the login information such as passwords for accounts such as Gmail (presumably from the Titanium backup)?
Thanks in advance.
I recommend flashing the new Bionix. I never have a problem with my camera. In the camera setting go under review and check off and put it onto on. That will give you a review of each pic you take. As long as you download it right and flash it right, don’t disable voodoo, there shouldn't be any problems. As far as TB only restore apps plus data. Don't restore system apps cause it will mess with your system. It will not save your passwords but as soon as you flash it just go into accounts and sync and put your info in and you should be good to go. If you want a theme I highly recommend Scarlet Leftovers with Flip animations. It makes your Vibrant look badass.

I think it is the overstock kernel. I had problems with the camera when Bionix v 1.3.1 was first released because Sombionix included the overstock kernel with it. He has since changed it back to KB1, which I reflashed and have had no problems at all. Just my thoughts. Good luck.
Daily Briefing lost!
I have tried upgrading to both Gingerbread and TouchWiz editions of Bionix-V 1.3.1, but I can't find Daily Briefing any more!
1) Is it because I forgot to back up my previous launcher?
2) Does Daily Briefing only work with TouchWiz? Or it also works with others like Launcher Pro?
3) Where can I retrieve Daily Briefing?
Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem, I am only using the Bionix-V 1.3.1, no overstock. I just checked their website and downloaded the Samsung Widgets that you have to download if you want to have the widgets. You also must use the touchwiz version.
But I looked into the zip file and I didn't see the Daily briefing, no wonder why we don't have it. It kinda sucks I think that and program monitor were the only useful widgets by Samsung.
Edit: I found out that the app is called infoalarm.apk and I tried to install one version but it didn't install.
If you are not on the touchwiz version you can download the touchwiz launcher from sgs tools then pull any of the Samsung apps from an older rom and place them in the system/app folder on your phone using root explorer.

Thanks for the suggestion! I followed your instruction, installed TouchWiz Launcher, put InfoAlarm.apk and InfoAlarm.odex under /system/app/, then went in the directory with Root Explore and tried to install it, but the installation still failed. Did I do something wrong?
Being that they are system apps you just use root explorer to move them to the system/app folder. You do not need to install them. Just make sure you have it set to read write. Once they have been moved to the system/app folder just reboot and the widgets should work. Also make sure you pulled the apps from a deodex rom.

Thanks again for the help! I have the files like this, but it still doesn't work:
-rw-rw-rw- shell shell 6956979 2010-10-25 12:09 InfoAlarm.apk
-rw-rw-rw- shell shell 439256 2010-10-25 12:09 InfoAlarm.odex
I tried to change them to
-rw-r--r-- root root
but could not do it because of a complaint: Unable to chmod InfoAlarm.apk: Read-only file system
You need to use a deodex not the odex apk file. You can download it here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A5TSE252
Also try using Root Explorer or su file manager from the market. They may cost a couple of bucks but are very handy apps to have.
I just now did it using the apk file I uploaded and it worked for me.

After struggling in pushing the file to /system/app/ with adb for quite a while, finally I made it work! I really love Daily Briefing, and I'm so happy to see it back! It seems working under Launcher Pro too. HUGE thanks to you, dude! Really appreciate your kindness...
Just have had my first smartphone for a month now, and have learned/achieved the following: rooted, flashing ROMs and kernels, unlocked, etc. Not bad, I guess.
Glad you got it to work and glad you are enjoying the Vibrant... I love this phone and I am still learning new stuff every day. lol

Acer Recovery Installer v2.0

The latest version of Acer Recovery Installer is now available on the Android Market (once the market lets it through anyway) and can also be downloaded here for those that can't access the market. It is recommended you install the market version, so that you get update notifications via market when a new version is available.
This version DOES NOT include thor's latest clockwork recovery image, due to GPL violations. However, it will recognize them (1.4, 1.41 and 1.42) if installed. All new features of Acer Recovery Installer will work with CWM rev 1.3.4 (included) and higher. If you want to use thor's latest version, keep a copy of his recovery.img in the root of your Micro-SD and use the "Custom" option in ARI to install it.
New Premium Features!
Backup/Restore - This will let you initiate a Nandroid Backup or Restore procedure without having to manually boot into recovery. It will see all your previous Nandroid backups, whether they are on your Micro-SD or USB drive, and let you selse which partitions to restore. The tablet will then automatically reboot to ClockworkMod recovery to do the backup or restore process, then reboot back to normal mode.
Download/Install ROMs - This feature will allow you to download the various ROMs from the internet and initiate the install process. You have the option of having it autotically run a nandroid backup and/or wipe date before installing the selected ROM. Again, the tablet will reboot into ClockworkMod recovery to do the work.
Note about XooM based ROMs. XooM ROMs do not let an apps write directly to the Micro-SD card due to a premission restriction. So when the Download/Install ROMs module tries to download the ROM List or a ROM File on a XooM based ROM, it must download it to your /mnt/sdcard/download folder and then move it to the proper place on the Micro-SD card, which is in a folder called "ROMs". All other ROMs download directly to the ROMs folder of your Micro-SD.
Note about Virtuous ROMs. The author has not given me permission to mirror his ROMs on a server that can handle direct hot-linking. Therefore, the Virtuous ROMs could not be included in this release. If he gives me permission, or provides a way to direct hot-link to his ROMs, then I will include them.

Thank you very much. I was astounded at how easy and convenient you've made things. I think we all know how to do this manually but it's wonderful to not have to.
One question, do i need to do something to be able to use the premium features? I couldn't find a premium version of the app or anything.
It's included in v2.0. Make sure you have CWM installed, then the prem buttons will be enabled. You can bypass purchasing while until the beta period is over on Aug 26th.

That's the strange thing. I've got 1.3.4 installed off acer recovery installer v2.0. Tested by backing up. But the premium feature buttons are still greyed out.

Ahh.. what is the message immediately below the buttons? If it's not recognizing cwm, you probably don't have busybox installed. You can install "busybox installer" from the market and use that to install the latest busybox version, or... tommorrow I'll make an update that will fix the problem.
Thanks for the feedback!

Awesome app.This type of work should be rewarded. Pay the man people.upgrade to Prem.so to keepbgetting more features
Thanks.

I found a lot more busybox dependencies when adding new features last night. v2.1 will come out in a couple of days and all the busybox dependencies will be removed.
It will also have stock roms in the list with an option to add root access to it on the fly.

Great additions to the app. One question tho, under the stock roms the option "Disable Stock Recovery Overwrite?" if this is checked, does this mean it will leave CWM alone?

yep.. normally, stock roms will overwrite the recovery on boot-up. Having that checked will turn off the execute bit on the install-recovery.sh script, preventing it from overwriting CWM.
V2.2 is available. Has on option to install itself on top of any selected roms. Also added some new roms.

Are you on a stock ROM, or one of the custom ROMs? if Custom, which one? Do you have your google account registerd on your tablet and connected to the internet?
PM me with your google account address and I'll check to see if there's something pending.

ROM toolbox

Has anyone tried ROM toolbox yet? It has a lot of common tools like a file manager, app manager, font installer, and boot animation changer (not compatible with inc).
I've been having some problems with titanium lately and I was thinking of using this to do backups. It also has a setting for ap2sd location which I was thinking I could use to move my sd apps to emmc.
What do you guys think?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I've had this app for a few weeks and it's been working great for me. It has just about anything you could ever need for your rooted phone, although I have not yet used it to create backups yet. Everything else works fine and it has some great boot animations
Its pretty cool and getting better. However to use most of the features you have to go pro for $5.00, and i just cant justify spending that much for things i can do manually my self for free.

and U R gonna share that ..... when ? LOL
I just mixed together the first test now. Right now it's a HUGE rom Taking up 281MB of System Space, and I'm having problems with Titanium Backup not seeing the system as rooted, even if Super User is giving it permission. I'm still a very new rookie at cooking a ROM.
I do want to thank earthbound, his Seppuku MTD TW Kernel is awesome!
Now I need to make this quick microwave batch of EL30 Gingerbread taste like oven fresh.
Well if you do manage to get a stock MTD version of EL30 working I'm sure many people here would love to get in on it.
We are all anxious to see it. Good luck nailing it all down.

OK, so I'm deleting some of the programs I don't like out of the stock programs to take out some fat. I'm also going to try taking Titanium Backup out of the system apps to see if that helps with it's root issue. Android terminal emulator is switching ok to the proper SU # prompt when I command SU in the terminal.
Update for those curious
I was able to get the size of the ROM down to about 235MB System, far better then it was.
As for the root issue, I realized that it's not the fault of Titanium Backup, but all my root programs could not recognize successful rooting (Set CPU, ES File Explorer, etc) and my version of SU kept reporting an outdated version (2.xx versus the 3.07 I have on my EI22 ROM), which is strange because I used the same Super User apk file from my EI22 ROM.
Sadly, I don't know enough about the intricacies of the root settings between Kernel, and ROM Versions to be able to solve the issues. I suspect there was something to do with my use of Earthbound's EI22 Kernel with the EL30 ROM Files, but I can't find the problem.
By what I saw from late night testing, there were two problems:
The root issues
GPS Lock Issues (Couldn't try changing the permissions because I didn't have root permissions.
I apologize for my failures at fixing the problems for a good release.
Come back when it is using the el30 kernel. The old convert process still works...
