hi everybody
first sorry for my bad english,i'm italian!
i've installed the cyanogen mod music edition, and i0ve added it some apps and something really useful; i've also deleted some annoying things and crappy.
i want to share this custom rom with you.
the rom comes with a zip package that has to be flashed with Clockwork mod recovery.
i don't know hot to made a zip from my rom, but i made a backup from the clockwork mod recovery menu.
is possible if you have clockwork mod installed to try my rom easily from the menu...
finnally: do i have to share the rom as a zip file or as clockwork mod backup??? Advantages and disadvantages???
thanks in advance!
u will have to share the rom as a zip file so it can be flashed from cwm

I am very confused.
I have a Motorola Droid on STOCK 2.1 which I would like to root and install a froyo custom ROM. I have read so many guides / articles / posts on the doing so. I have stumbled upon "Guide to Rooting Android 2.1 On A Motorola Droid" at droidlife.com. My question is the following:
The guide says I should flash/install SPRecovery using RSDLite first. This will help me install a rooted ROM. But towards the bottom of the guide I am also told to install ROM Manager to install other custom ROM's. I have read that installing ROM Manager will "disable" the SPRecovery. Is this okay?
Should I use SPRecovery to install the very first rooted ROM onto the phone and then use ROM Manager to install ANY other ROMs thereafter. After I install a rooted ROM (using SPRecovery) will I never use it again after I install ROM Manager. Thanks.
On my wife's Droid, I followed the guide and used SPRecovery to install the original rooted ROM. Then, I put ROM Manager on there to start trying out different ROMs. I haven't used SP since the original flash. You still can flash ROMs with SP, but ROM Manager makes it much easier, especially when you become a flashin' fool, lol. With the SP, you have to rename every ROM you put on there to "update.zip," and they can become difficult to keep track of.
RomManager will ask you to install clockwork. This is fine as it will give you the option to instal SP again if you want.
Honestly I do not know the difference between the two and just let Rom Manager do the work for me.
thank you very much...much clearer...
So it seems i should use SPR to install the first rooted ROM and then go with ROM Manager's Clockwork Recovery to handle any future ROMS thereafter. Please let me know if I misunderstood. Thanks.
That's pretty much the best idea, I flashed sprecovery through terminal then after I installed a custom rom switched to rom manager and clockworkmod recovery. Clockworkmod is a little easier to use if you need to flash manually which I mostly do and has some more features that sprecovery doesn't. The main one being for sprecovery you have to rename all zips to update.zip and keep it in root of sdcard. With clockwork I created a directory with subdirectories for roms themes kernels and etc. You can choose to install a zip in clockwork and navigate to where its stored. A little neater, as well both have backup which is always recommended. The reason for using clockwork is mine has issues with mounting sdcard and system when I choose to flash from rom manager. It reboots to recovery and does it automatically which mine has issues with( can't figure out why) but through recovery its self its convenient. Mostly the only time I have to rename a zip to install is for baseband updates.

Hi Guys.
Basically i have recently got a SGS and have rooted it using Z4 and also have the OCLF lag fix.
But what i really want to know is what the safest and easiest way to make a custom recovery image. Also if someone could explain breifly/simply exactly what it means for when i install a custom ROM.
I have seen this http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-a-rom-or-app-from-zip-file-to-android-device-from-recovery/, but then also saw somewhere on these forums that clockwork mod recovery ist too great or something to that effect, sorr i cannot find a link to it.
cheers in advance guys

Bump, i did a search and couldnt find anything like i wanted to know.
can someone please help?

You can install Rom Manager and do a complete backup of your ROM including apps and all info.
All you need is Clockwork Recovery and Rom Manager. I have used it and it is very simple to use.
You can also use Nandroid, but I have never used it so I can't say anything about it.
Here is a small tutorial...
The phone needs to be rooted for this to work.
1) Any 2.2 non custom rom has 3e recovery , ClockworkMod only works with 2e recovery. You will have to flash a different Kernel with Odin to get it back. Check out this thread for info...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756
2) Install ROM Manager
3) In Rom Manager, click on "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
4) Click on "Backup Current ROM"
5) Name the file anything you want.
6) Your phone will recoot into recovery and backup the ROM.
7) When finished, reboot the phone.
8) Transfer the backup to your computer for safe keeping.

thats great, just what i was after, thanks.

does anyone have any advice on the nandroid backup version as i am running 2.2 so clockworkmod as said above wont work....
thanks

Hello,
Could anyone tell me how to change a xrecovery package like a rom or module to a CWM package, which could be flashed ?
yeah sure just search and you'll find it and install zip from x recovery
or you can have dual recovery check the multiboot thread

Hi im using [XXBLL5-V8] Ripper Rom with Perseus Kernel and 23 toggles .. i tried to install the Moto theme and the Alexander one but they don't change anything .. i tried to install a theme for multi-window but that don't change anything either .. what i`m doing wrong ?
1) installed the rom with factory restore and format sistem and wipe all
2) install Perseus kernel
3) make rom little with apk from updateme
4) install 23 toggles
5) install alexander theme ( no change )
6) install moto theme (no change )
7) install theme for multi window (no change )
What recovery are you using. The themes are VR Themes and are not compatible with TWRP recovery but should work for CWM recovery. If you are using CWM is there free space on the internal storage as the zip has to extract the files and mod them on the storage and then sends puts them into the system. If you have an external sd you could try to move the theme zip file from the internal storage to external and see that lets you flash it
will this work on a GT93005t
Thanks
Simon
i9305T, yes.
I using TWRP recovery so this is the culprit , will the touch CWM work ? I really don't like the normal one with the volume keys and all :crying:
If you want a touch CWM then I recommend using Philz.
Check this thread out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091223

Will the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995320&page=129 work with your rom , i want the normal icons and the mod for transparent bar and notification .. cant make it work
Do we have a custom SystemUI that we can flash so the mods for 23 toggles and Drop Down Mods will work ,or do they have to be made specific for the 9305 ?
The Motomoto theme say it install a new bootanimation , but i have the original animation still

hey saw your situation and thought i had a very similar one that could be note worthy. i have been using pandariam for awhile now and absolutely love it. thats besides the fact, i had followed his instrutions on installing the cwm recovery 5.5 because of everyone having problems with the touch versions. now whenever the 5.7 release came out i just recently updated to TWRP which cause all themes that were availiable in his pacage to prove unworkable. i had tried probably about 7-8 times before backdating to CWM recovery 5.5 until the kinks are worked out. the touch is nice and user friendly but not when ever it doesnt work with the user's wishes. hope this helped a little and if u run into a problem connecting to your pc or flashing back to cwm 5.5 PM me because i ran into a data network hiccup and a one whenever i tried to flash back to the older version.
