Hi guys, I just wanna ask about Rom Toolbox and ROM Manager.
° Is it safe to install Rom toolbox to our SG Mini?
° What are the risks, since it has Rom manager included in it?
° Why is it not safe to install Rom manager for our Mini?
° What are the risks?
° What would happen if I install or do any changes using it?
I think that would be all.
Thanks

1. It is safe if u just install ROM manager, but don't flash CWM using Rom Manager.
2. Whats the risk? It'll brick your phone.
3. Just by installing it, you will do no harm. But by flashing cwm using rom manager, you have a 99.9% chance of bricking your phone. By using it to flash roms doesn't brick your phone i think, not really sure.

So I can use the other included features in ROM Toolbox? Why does rom manager brick galaxy mini by installing cwm? Just wondering but I heard someone successful installed cwm using it. He's the 1%

It bricks ur phone because cwm for galaxy mini is not in the list of supported devices. Or something along those lines

Yes I guess u can. I tried it once with my stock rom. All tlit did was to reboot into recovery then flash... Which I could have done manually too. So its kinda useless for our device

except for rom manager, i used almost every other feature of rom toolbox [pro] without a single problem
(fonts, bootanimation, backup/restore, root manager, sd boost....)
custom rom - MD Utility based on CM 7.2 nightly
handy .apk
only flashing recovery is risky nothing else

Well this definitely depends on Koush and Team Cyanogen. I think Koush knows that there is a running version now for our device and he can easily revert the name I've changed since everything is on my github account.
Did a lot of searching but still am confused.
So the only solution right now for SGS+ is to use kernel with CWR but it does not work directly with rom manager..

Depends on what you want to do with your phone, if you are fine with running stock rom, don't change it as there is no need for it.
CWM is useful when you use custom roms (both for the flash process/wipes and backups/restore), stock recovery is useful for nothing at all in that case.
So, IOW, if you don't intend on using custom roms, stick with stock recovery, if you intend on using custom roms, get CWM.
Clockwork mod recovery lets you do things like wipe factory data reset, wipe cache, battery status etc.... and can also install roms from zip files. Stock recovery can't do that. Hope I helped Also clockwork mod only works if you are rooted first I belive.
Does this mean i need to use custom rom to get cmw? Can i use cmw in stock? I dont want to flash any custom rom yet but i need cmw to flash theme? Lol

You can flash CWM and use stock but i have no idea why you would, you can't use backup or restore and you'll have no use for it what so ever.
You never need to flash a theme, you install it via market or downloaded .apk, if it's a custom theme you need a theme manager and you'll download and install themes via that manager.
You do NOT need CWM for anything you are trying to do.

You can use cwm on stock.
However, the great function isn't working on stock.
It means, even if you use cwm on stock, it has no difference with original (stock) recovery.

If you are going to use CWM anyway, might as well use custom rom...

I recommend you to try emanoN v5
It's great...
Faster than stock...

Hi! I have a question. I have the last cmw touch but i cannot do a nandroid backup of the stock rom (2.3.4) because it can't mount system and cache. It's really not possible to make a backup of the stock rom? I'm asking this because i did some modifications like removing preinstalled apps and things like this and a new flash of the rom is not the same for me...

Has been asked a couple of times already.. CWM cannot backup stock rom, only custom roms.. The only way to restore stock rom is Odin method..

If your goal is to install CWM then the easiest way to flash cwm on your phone: download latest cwm by squadzone.. place it on the root of your sdcard, not inside any folder.. boot to stock recovery.. apply update from sdcard, you should be able to see the cwm zip, choose it and confirm install.. you will have cwm once you boot again to recovery..
Sorry but what is this heimdall? Some more info plz..

Sure it will work as it has worked on me a hundred times.. the confusion before was that squad's cwm zips were not flashable in stock recovery but they are. Saved me time rather than flashing cwm 4 through odin and upgrade to latest one through cwm4..

hello,
i just purchses rom manager premium... and i want to install Clockwork recovery.. now can i install from the rom mager or i have to take it form some where else, they said in the description that i need to fallow "Samsung users: You must flash a Clockwork compatible kernel first (see XDA forums)" or what does it means?
Do not use rom manager..it does not fully support our Ace yet and it will hard brick your phone..
If you are on stock rom... just uninstal it.... it brick your phone
