Can Someone Customize it to be able to go through folders to flash zips instead of having to drop everything on the root of my sd card it's looks really unorganized and I always forget to put the zip on the root of my sd after wiping everything then trying to flash something. I wouldn't mind donating for that and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person that wouldn't mind donating for that being put in there.
The first recovery agent i had, clockwork or whatever, it let me go through folders. I'm not sure why the more recent version doesn't let you.

Yeah and also can anyone enable loop devices in it because I think it is one of the reasons why the dualboot doesnt work.

You would have to go to Amon_RA and talk to him. i believe i heard he was busy for a while. Maybe check with him on updating RA from 1.8.0 to something like 1.8.1. We defiantly need it!

Clockworkmod is for the noobies once first after rooting and using rom manager....unless you have RA, you wont wipe data nor dalvik or even battery stats correctly with clockwork. Clockwork needs a major overhaul. Clockwork and RA are two totally different recoveris. RA's feature is for there to not be so much clutter. so its scans /sdcard just for roms.

right clockwork has a ton of issues. i agree that it needs to be updated....or that someone needs to come along and try to combine both RA recovery style and clockworks style into one recovery....except do it right! (not halfassing it) but still......clockwork is always good for searching those folders. RA is good for wiping and stability and outrageously good for the nand backups!
First, amon recovery has its own thread and this request has been asked many times before.
Second, amon has the ability to mount the sdcard to your pc while in recovery. Honestly if you are doing any kind of flashing on your phone (besides nands) you really should be near a pc the whole time.
Last, if you read the amon thread, amon himself said that writing recoveries is a hobby and not his profession. Make your request be known in his thread and be patient although this request has been made many times like I said even by me. But when you realize how valuable the usb ms toggle option is (along with apps like astro, root explorer, etc) you will eventually get into the habit of triple checking your steps prior to flashing anything.

For the folder issues, I just use ASTRO file manager to move the file I want to flash to the root of my SD. It's not hard, and can be done in a few seconds.
I see that a lot of the "experienced" android users prefer Amon_Ra recovery over Clockwork. I have to say that I personally have used Clockwork with no problems what so ever. Even a chicken**** noob like myself can use ROM manager w/o a problem. I never had a problems backing up my current ROM, restoring it or downloading and installing a totally new ROM.

Make sure you have at least one amonra nand backup squirelled away though. Clockwork doesn't back up the wimax image or rsa keys. Amonra does.

Ah damn... I'm really wanting one, I'm currently on a G1 right now and have been using Amon_Ra's recovery ever since I rooted it. I'm planning on upgrading to a G2 next week and I would like to use a recovery that I'm familiar with. I don't have nothing against the Clockwork Recovery but I just don't like the layout, I prefer Amon_Ra's.
I used to use amon ra also and it would be cool to see it for the g2. But it's not like clockwork is broken or anything and I don't hate using it.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard somewhere that Amon_RA wasn't making recoveries anymore.
Sent from my HTC Vision
Talked to Amon awhile ago and he told me that he doesn't own a G2 and its hard to make a recovery for a phone he doesn't own haha. Which is true haha. But he never stated that he will never make one. So there is hope, but very little of it. I too went straight from a G1 using nothing but Amon RA recovery to the G2 using clockwork. It wasn't a bad transition, but then again....I do miss Amon RA!

I miss being able to use console in recovery, but I'm just about the only one that uses that lol. Also the power off option is missing. Everything else is the same, just in a different position.
A console is the only thing that would make clockwork better.

That and the ability to transfer files to the SD card from the PC while in recovery. Not too mention the ability to format the sdcard the way Amon_RA does it, where you choose your own sizes and partition layouts. Amon_RA is just simpler and more familiar.

You can transfer files, it's under the advanced tab. Also, I totally forgot about sd card formating. It has been so long since I've used my G1 that I forgot the reason I used Ra over clockwork.

Honestly, the "no console" thing isn't even that big of a deal. ADB is a suitable workaround, just mount /system and /data as needed.

How does the Clockwork Recovery partition the SD card? I've only used the Clockwork Recovery once and I took it off after five minutes because I didn't really like it, it just "felt" different, it was weird. Can you not partition the SD card or something?

Hey whats up guys?
so......Im not really new here guys, But i am new to APP2SD....i partitioned my card for the KINGDOM ROM which turned out to be really cool. Everything went GREAT with the partition, I followed VIRUS direction to the "T".......now i deleted all my old backups because i was told that some files may be corrupt and what not, so i made 2 backups of the B3 ROM from virus.....to try to make a long story short, when i restore one or the other of the backups i have, the APPS that required ROOT, tells me they cant find ROOT>....and believe me...im ROOTED LOL.....im not that lost.....i was even given a command for TE......"app2sd--cachesd"......and the PERMISSION WERE DEINED ACCROSS THE BOARD......now i can get to the titanium backup's =main screen and it shows i have APP2SD= 1.91mb........so im guess the app2sd isnt installing the apps onto my SDcard...im not sure if i have to move every app to my SDcard myself...not sure if that the issues....but to me something sounds wrong....ya know, ive deleted all the apps and re-installed them....i even installed them from amazon...NO GO....so if i RE-Flash, the apps will work...cause i setup my phone with TB.....but its after when i RESTORE my backup, that everything goes screwy...ohh and i am backing up SDtext.....and wiping it if i flash another ROM or restore a differnet backup.......Cant really find any info on anyne having this same problem....This is the first time im actually making my first thread so go easy on me LOL......thanks alots guys...I really appreciate it...
EDIT:.....ohh and all my apps sometimes show up in SU and they are allowed.....and SU is updated

I'm not sure I quite follow you, but, if you have the time, try this: after you've gotten your rom setup how you like it, reboot into recovery. Hopefully, you're using amon RA v2.3 as your recovery. If so, go to the wipe menu and wipe the cache & dalvik. After that, go to the backup/restore menu and, in addition to what is already selected to be backed up, select sdext and .android.secure. now create the backup and afterwards, reboot. Now to test it out, for back into recovery, wipe EVERYTHING in the wipe menu EXCEPT the SD card and then go to the backup/restore menu and restore the backup you just made. If using amon RA, the name of the backup *should* have a BSDEA beginning or something to that extent. Afterwards, reboot. Your system *should* restore back to the way it was without any problems.

It will be automatically activated if whichever Rom you are flashing had it cooked into it
If it's not cooked into the ROM, then it must be activated ( by flashing the script via recovery, i think....) Sorry, in kinda new to aa2sd too

Hey guys,
I have scoured the forums and the web for answers, but have found none. I have everything normally displayed on ClockWorkMod EXCEPT the "nandroid" option. Can anyone shed some light on this?! I have been loyally updating ClockWorkMod but each comes with no "nandroid" option!
I am currently running MIUI 1.9.2 with a Savaged-Zen kernel along with vipermod and Supercharger V6. There is a thread similar to this, only it is in the "Vibrant General" forum and it ends abruptly. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901818
It's not called nandroid. You just go into the recovery and select up backup/restore and then backup.
That's what I've been doing for, like, forever, but was nandroid discontinued or something?
It's still a nandroid backup, it's just not called that in the menu.
Backup - Nandroid
Started out with that backup, but quickly moved to Armon-RA, I have had no issues and all the features work without issue. Most all rom’s that are posted have users that are using the Clockwork, a standard recommendation is to move to Armon-RA. Might be a little pain in the neck to switch, but I don’t think you would want to go back.

It's still a nandroid back up, whether it's clockwork or Amon Ra recovery.
The backups are in a folder called clockworkmod on the sd card.
Thanks for all your answers!
Sorry, avwheeler but I am not switching to Amon Ra.
If your using rom mansger you can backup from there, they don't call it a nandroid but it is. Btw, amon_ra is a much better recovery.in terms of features and stability!

Try backing up contents of sd card onto computer. Then format aka erase sd card using phone and then copy contents from computer back to sd card. I had same problem and that is what worked for me.
I have a feeling it will be fine but I just want to ask and be sure amon ra is compatible with Rom manager right?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
No, rom manager will not work with amon_ra recovery. You have to have cwm recovery for it to work.
You don't need ROM Manager anyhow, except to fix permissions and even that you can do with Amon Ra and with terminal.
I just wanna be able to flash easier is their an equivalent for ra?

OK, well ROM Manager may make flashing easier, but there is no end to the posts on here from people who had problems using it.

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've been rooted for a little over a month, and I already got to deal with corrupt backups using CWM. Luckily, I had an Amon RA backup on a different SDCARD...needless to say it saved the day.
I haven't gone back to CWM since.

Yea I had CWM for about a week until I had a rom install cause issues and when I went to restore my backup it was all fubar so I switched to amon RA and never looked back, especially after reading about alot of issues with cwm having the same problems as me back then, I decided it wasn't worth my hassle

i wason CWM for almost a month since being rooted and ira noticed some issues that you mentioned and read a general concensus that Amon-ra is better so i have tried it and i really like it. though the Wipe option has A LOT more options then CWM did so what all do you wipe other then cache and davilk and when going to a new rom or big update user data to get the best results?? thanks still learning

2.3 is the latest from Amon Ra, g though there is 3.11 that is an off shoot of his work.

The ra 3.11 version is actually "the best of both worlds" of recoveries. Supports ra and cwm backups & edify and amend scripting. Fyi for those that don't know.

You can uninstall it, but features like backup and restore are propriety of rm.
It's not a big deal, just something that was convenient. I've done without it for a little bit...there is a thread dedicated to this topic.
