I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that ROM Manager doesn't work with MIUI, it's a known issue. I could be wrong about that but I don't think I am. I have some excellent news for you though- Everything that you can do with ROM Manager can also be done manually through recovery! Isn't that awesome??
Yeah I know that but it was so easy. It did everything for you.

Yeah but honestly, doing it through recovery is still pretty easy and it gives you some good hands on with your EVO. The more you do yourself, the more comfortable you are with doing things, whatever those things may be. Plus, the general consensus is that Amon_RA is a better recovery and ROM Manager only works with Clockwork.

What is it that isn't working for you? It works flawlessly for me. Always has. I've never really understood all the nonsense about RM "not wiping properly" or being flawed. I have used it since day one on my EVO and I never have any issues with reboots or FC's or any of that junk. Amon is great, I used it on my G1, but Rom Manager is just too damn convenient.
I've never had any issues with RM and it is definitely working on MIUI 11.12, at least on my EVO it is. I flashed 11.12 from 11.5 via CM and just backed up 2 minutes ago.

Well there you go, I was wrong. I could have sworn that I read that it wasn't working with MIUI, maybe it was for the 10.29 release.
Anyways what I noticed with clockwork is that when you wipe the dalvik it doesn't actually do anything, it just instantly goes right back to the previous menu when you select wipe dalvik. With RA it actually takes a few seconds to wipe the dalvik which is why I dont think clockwork does it properly. I know I'm not the only person with that experience.

Actually, in Clockwork, after select "wipe dalvik", it will appear to do nothing, then a second menu will popup and you agree to wipe and all is good. As I said, I have never had a problem and I have flashed around 90% of the ROMs out for the EVO. Clockwork definitely works.
That said, there is no question that Amon-Ra is more powerful and user friendly. If ROM Manager worked with AR, I'd definitely choose it over CW. But the efficiency and convenience of RM is more valuable to me.
So to make it short my version of Miui doesn't support RM cause I think I got the 10 Something. If I get the latest it will work?

I missed that last comment of yours. But I have gone through the recovery and all that flashing myself to get where I am now. Now that RM is out I'm hooked. I use clockwork and am comfortable with it so I want to continue to use it.

I've been installing the latest Cyanogen nightly every few days, and I've noticed that even though, before flashing the latest nightly, I wipe the cache, wipe data/reset, and wipe dalvik in ClockworkMod, once the new nightly is loaded, my previous, user-selected wallpaper is still up.
Doesn't this mean something wasn't wiped properly?
That could very well be. I was having issues work clockwork mod not wiping.....so I figured out how switch too ra's recovery....no problems now.

Hmm, it looks like it's pretty simple to switch to RA in ROM Manager, maybe I'll do that before my next flash of a nightly.
ROM Manager says i won't have access to features on ROM manager if i do so though. Does anyone know if this means ANY of features, or just some of them? I'd like to be able to just hit another button inside ROM Manager to flash back to ClockworkMod if i want, instead of having to research how to flash a recovery myself (though I assume it's not that difficult).
edit: yep, it looks like it's just another button push to flash back to clockworkmod. very cool.
ok new guy here..well not that new i used the how to that toast made then did the various AmonRA-sp updates all the way up to fresh 3.0
heres the problem (so far):
1.market opens then immediately closes, though this isnt a force close...?idk?
2. my contacts are there but they arent: people isnt working it force closes on me and i i cant recover any phone numbers through google or my sdcard backup.
well those are my problems, again im running the latest Fresh rom used Amon RA and did the apps2sd(the right way)
im really at a loss here fellas, i dont know what to do but im not gonna do anything until i can get some insight into this debacle.
thanks in advance
easy answer.... do it all again
or
dont use fresh
use Evio 1.1 or 1.2
i have tried most of the popular roms and this is by far the best, including the best battery life, stability, compatability, etc.
screw the havs and crap.. i tried those and got the worst battery life EVER from those. 6 hours tops... Evio i can go 2-3 times that, true... i get far farrr better battery life out of a pseudo stock rom than i do all the custom "stuff"
just flash with another rom... fresh is unique in itself and doesnt always play nice with certain other add-on's (from what i have read)
that is why in other threads you see custom builds for people using "fresh roms"
why mess with something that is so unique it requires its own builds for certain things.
so do i have to do apps2sd again
Just wipe your cache and davlick cache
have you tried wiping your cache & dalvik-cache and flashing gapps?
no not yet....gapps? where can i find that...forgive me i dont use forums ever lol
okay tried wiping both caches....same results.
how do i flash gapps? i searched the forums and all i get is the Fresh 3.xxx thread titled GApps and no source on the file itself.

Yea rom manager is just a GUI to get to recovery and honestly is pretty worthless on alot of phones, it causes more problems than its worth really. The old school manual way using amon RA or one of its variants is tried and true and always reliable. CWM on the Evo doesn't always wipe properly which leads to serious issues, I prefer to go down my wipe list and hit everything 3x on a clean install, and 1-2x for cache and dalvik for an upgrade where I dont need to wipe data etc, oh yeah just don't wipe your SDCARD option or it will be blank after and you better hope you got a backup on ur PC, I did that once when I was hungover and half asleep

I am kind of new to this and it this has been frustrating me all day. I had CM7 on my HTC Evo 4G for a while and it started to run slow so I decided I needed something new (other then a new phone). So I tried MiUi (latest version) and I loved it. Ran smooth and was quick. I installed my titanium backup and it was not getting root permission. I tried installing busybox (wouldnt install) and i also installs CWM and Super User. Nothing helped. Someone had told me I needed a Kernel. So I went and tried a couple. I tried the Mason Kernel and the phone would just give me a blank screen. The only kernels that worked were Tiamat Kernels, the SBC ones lagged heavily straight off the bat, the other 2 did not lag at first but after a few minutes it started to lag heavily as well. Then afterwards MiUi would not respond. What am I doing wrong? Honestly I just want to restore my apps with titanium back up and have it get root rights. What do I do?

I've been using TWRP 2.2 since it came out and have never had any problems with it. I was having problems with CWM and since I switched I have yet to have any complaints.
Give it a shot and let us know.
Is your question which one is more reliable which i think is more of a personal thing depending on your needs or loyalties where as is TWRP 2.2 reliable. Now I am not sure where and what circumstances 2.1 TWRP may have bricked a phone but since we are running 2.2 there is nothing to worry about. For as long as it has been out if there were any issues you would of heard of them by now. Try them both and you figure out which one better suits your needs
I used to use CWRM ( tried the latest touch and non-touch ) because I was familiar with it and the brick reports scared me, but I used to have a lot of issues after flashing ROMs and restoring texts, even though I did everything right.
Finally said screw it, and tried TWRP 2.2 - my issues are now mostly gone. And queuing up zips and a file manager are niice. So yea, my vote's on TWRP.
Russian smashed across the interwebz from my Galaxy SII.
The reason people were getting bricked on older versions of TWRP is due to user error. Once you wiped the system and ROM, the phone is "blank." People were then clicking the "reboot system" option without flashing a new ROM. As such, the phone couldn't boot. New version does not allow that option.
TWRP is the best in my opinion as it has several features like zip queueing (queue all of your zips at once ex: ROM, Gapps, etc...) and an onscreen keyboard for naming backups.
Only thing I don't like about TWRP is no "wipe battery stats". Other than that, TWRP is nifty but I still use darkside wipes out of habit from CWM.

Per Google themselves, wiping battery stats is not necessary and does nothing. Any perceived benefit is purely placebo.

I put CWM on my phone because it's what came with the CM9.1 ROM that I originally flashed.
After switching to a different rom such as Jedi Knight or JMT9, I found TWRP 2 to work wonders for what I need and the way I want info to be displayed. I found that with the touchscreen functions it's much easier to navigate recovery, though CWM has touchscreen functions now as well.
I prefer TWRP. It wipes everything completely clean, no need to flash TDJ's superwipe. It is also more reliable than CWM imo.

I know they say wiping battery stats does nothing but so many swear by it that at this stage you might as well let them just go for it.
OP - It looks like TWRP has won in your poll, now that you have asked the question what will you do with this info?
I've tried both... never really had issues... One thing Im finding is that alot of MMS/SMS/Call Log etc. recovery tools will not work with a CWM 6 nandroid backup... Managed to get them out with Titanium Backup though, so not a problem
After switching from CWM, I've never had an issue with TWRP 2.2 so far.
But, if you decide to use CWM, I'd like to suggest: CWM 5.0.27non-touch + Darkside scripts.
TWRP is preferred
I use TWRP because of the UI and reliability. Never had an issue with it.
In some threads, OP request that you use a certain recovery whether its CWM (certain version) or TWRP so I usually keep different recoveries saved to my sd card just in case.
Plus TWRP looks better.
Go with TWRP, you will be for sure to not need those Darkside Wipes. (Reliable)
on CWM you may have to use them, depending on version (Questionable)
