There's supposed to be an option to select an alternative image...
How about clicking File and selecting Custom Recovery... (or Ctrl + R)
Get Rom manager from market

Hey, I just started using CM7 and saw the thread about getting swype on CM7 in the developers thread, I just have no clue how to do it? I downloaded the script but I can't get it running, what software do I need and so on? All help will be appreciated..

Turn off the phone, turn it on, wait for blue led and press Vol.Down.
Select Recovery, Custom Recovery, Install zip from sdcard, Choose zip and select the Swype one.
Reboot and you're done.
Already tried that, but the install gets aborted, no idea why.. Any other ways to install it?
Installed the way listed above worked perfectly

I've read somewhere in the main CM7 topic that another way is possible...
Here you are! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14411454&postcount=5732
Got it working, I was using the attached file from the swype thread, which apparently does not have the install script. Downloaded the swype installer from the link instead at it worked like a charm!
Thanks for all your help!
Swype 3.0 (the Zip File contains Ver 2.x)
Another method is to go to the Swype Homepage (https://beta.swype.com/) Register for getting an Beta-Tester Account.
Step by Step Guide
Possible Problems:
You have an older Swype version installed (from zip)
- Just re-install or update your CM7 with the latest RC or nightly like
3) in Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065798
Now the old Swype should be gone...
Swype crashes after installing was sucessfull
- Deinstall Swype via Settings/Applications, reboot and re-install from the Swype installer.
I tried it today with the latest nightly...
okay so i dont really like sense's transition animations so i started searching for some new ones and came up with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920024
decided to share it with the G2/DZ community cause i know some of you guys dont like sense transitions either
im using virtous unity, i dont see why it woudnt work on any other rom
REMEMBER TO MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE DOING THIS just so if you want the original transitions back or if anything goes wrong or if your rom is not compatible etc
i recommend using the metamorph method, its way easier
for those who arent familiar with metamorph u can dl it for free on the market and do the following:
1-download the transition youd like from here :
https://bitly.com/bundles/haxzamatic/1?preview=1
2-place the zip in the root of the sdcard (or any other folder you want)
3-open metamorph and select Unzip/Extract new theme
4-go to the root of your sdcard or the folder you made and select the zip
metamorph will extract the zip and a new window will pop up select close (pretty much your only choice)
5- tap where it says SubTheme: framework-res.apk
Located in /system/framework/
(Requires Reboot)
your device will reboot and there you have it new transitions!!
im using the fold ones myself and they look amazing!!
awesme.thanks
nice work. thanks

I tried this action but it did not work. I also think it screwed with the backlight on my keyboard? I realize this should happen but that is only thing I can think of that would have done it. Is there any way to reverse this?

if you restored your backup its like if you never tried this on your phone, so its something you did before or it can be due to the ROM youre using

Ok so I'm new to androids completly. Was looking to root my new phone. Let me start off by saying I'm in Japan and have the HTC Evo 4G. I was attempting to use unrevoked but seem to be stuck at how to get to the hboot. I just updated to 2.3.4 and when I power off my phone then hit volume down and power button to gain access to hboot it simply turns the phone back on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Head over the the revolutionary.io site, you should be good to go. You have to use that method to root for gingerbread on the evo.
Check this thread for rooting.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218386
And turn off fast boot in settings/applications and then try to boot into hboot I think thats where it is I'm not sure I haven't been on sense in a while I'm not even sure if a stock ROM has it but look there to boot into hboot.

done
disregard this post please
Take out the battery, put it back in, hold volume down + power key for 3-5 seconds to get into bootloader. Theres a youtube video, can't remember what its called, but it shows step by step on how to root through Revolutionary. Very easy. Took me like 5 min to root

the recovery should be a PC36IMG.zip you flash that in hboot just make sure its on the root of your sdcard not in any folders then when you go to hboot it will find the update just except it.
The su apk should be a flashable zip just boot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache then go to flash zip and choose that zip and flash it then reboot.
If this is your first time in recovery before you do anything make a nandroid backup this will backup everything in case anything goes wrong you can restore the backup and your phone will be just the way it was when you made the backup.

Ok got it all figured out. To be honest you had me lost and I almost made another noob post but I got it now. Figured out the whole flash to SD card deal. I am 100% rooted now. Now for a ROM
I downloaded the synergy rom and it deleted my carrier email app. Do all roms do this?? I'll say it again here, I'm in japan so might be a little different from the states. Anybody know how I could get it back using this rom?? Or a good rom to use that won't delete this app.

What happens is when you flash a rom, its a whole new phone basically [os] so it comes packaged with its own apps, themes. What you can do is:
- go into recovery, backup your current rom
- restore your initial backup
- use / download es file explorer [free] from the market
- enable su permissions, then navigate to /system/app and copy it to your sd card
- go back to recovery, restore the synergy backup
- once booted, install the app from the sd card
or if it was backed up, open titanium backup, restore the app and data.
Thanks for the help teh roxxorz. I got the mail thing figured out. Worked with es file but didn't work to well with titanium backup. Took some trial and error to find all the files needed cuz the paste the whole folder didn't work. Having other issues finding the contacts and getting force closes, so I decided to just not use that rom. On to finding another good one that works.

So I tried miui and that didn't work as well. Couldn't get the mail to work at all on that rom. Anybody happen to be in Japan and using this phone and could suggest a good rom to use that they have their au email and contacts moved over on, and have minimal issues?

im on the one rom manager installs 6.0.1.2, and its the at&t sg3. i don't usually like to use rom manager but i couldn't get the recovery to install using terminal commands.
You may wanna try team win recovery.
Uninstall ROM manager and install goo manager. Then you open it, hit menu key and install recovery script. Reboot in recovery and try

I recommend you use the Universal Gingerbread Root method. The developer requested that it'd be taken off these forums so I'll give out an alternative link: www.galaxyyarchive.info/2012/03/tutorial-rooting-your-samsung-galaxy.html
