Just curious because I don't. I just really don't have a use for it. I do everything manually or through adb. At times, It seems more work than doing it manually.
I do. I am selective with what I use it for, but I do use it.
Absolutely not just my preference

I use it sometimes. I prefer to use CWM cuz I like to wipe myself instead of automating it.

I use RM mostly to flash little zip files. Touch install ROM from SD card, select the zip you wanna flash, and don't wipe anything.
Way easier than going into recovery to flash a zip.

When I try to use ROM manager it says I need to install CWM, but it already is, will it break anything if I let it install over it?
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
Nope. Rom manager likes to keep cwm current also.

The only thing I use ROM Manager for is making nandroid backups, because I like to give my backups descriptive names (usually including ROM and kernel names) in addition to the date and time. AFAIK you can't give backups customized names in clockworkmod.

No , it will not break anything , and there is an option to override that request ( some times don't work ) . usually that request comes on first use of Rom manager

As i remember Rom manager name a backup without spaces . if you named it wrong . Rom Manager will not be able to use that backup .
Personally, I think RM is a very valuable tool. For backups, installing certain zips, and quick access to see what some of the latest roms and nightlies are up to.

i agree , very useful software
i guess its just preference, but i prefer to do everything via recovery. That way i have total control. Its great that so many people love ROM manager, but i guess i'm just old school.

If you want to keep your apps download and run titanium backup. Do a full wipe and clear cache. Install your Rom and afterwards reload titanium backup and install your missing apps. I am running virus sense 4.2 and it runs great. You Shouldnt have any trouble.
Edit...
I do not use Rom manager because I prefer psfmod recovery.
Are you fully rooted with s off on the boot loader?
Before flashing any Rom make a nanroid just incase something goes wrong

I am considering flashing to virus Rom. I have a few questions first though.
I rooted with unrevoked, will I be fine?
When I flash will my apps be there if I saved them to the SD card?
Is Rom manager good to use?
Is there anything else I should know before I root.
Thanks in advance

So you are or are not rooted first you said you rooted with unrevoked then at last you ask if there is anything else you need to know before root. Moving on if you are rooted go to the market and download titanium backup use the batch option to save all your apps then after you flash new room use batch to restore all apps I'd you are not rooted you will lose your apps there are apps in the market like app monster that let you back up apps but you will lose your link to the market. Unrevoked will be fine that's whati used as long as its compatible with your phone if already rooted your good. Room manager is good if you use clockwork recovery. Its only compatible with clockwork. You should look up his to back up rsa keys very important if you want 4g. Always backup your phone before you do ANY Mods this will save you allot of heart ach. And last try not to offer money this can be bad In the end but up to you and I don't want any just want to help

Can someone explain to me the pros and cons of switching to TWRP? I want to move to TWRP because it's new and shiny but I'm afraid about the part of the backups not being compatible with each other. Is there anything I need to know before I make the jump?

It's not compatible with some programs like rom manager and titanium backup, but can be "injected" into all ROM setups. I stick with CWM because I love the way I can name my own nandroids from rom manager. That's a deal breaker for me if I can't.
I use TWRP on my Kindle because that was the method at the time. Like mentioned before you cannot rename your backups which can get really confusing. I see no need to use TWRP over CWM, and personally wouldn't use it if you had CWM already installed. It would be like taking a giant step backwards IMPO.

I use TWRP mainly because it's easier to navigate.

You can go into /sdcard/TWRP/backups/(ur serial number) and there will be a file folder that contains your backup all you have to do is rename it

Twrp is interactive, newer, a little easier to use as it is more straightforward.

If you rename a TWRP backup file TWRP will no longer have the ability to locate it. Or at least this was the case on my Kindle using the method described above.

Not compatible with MIUI V4
I flashed this recovery with MIUI v4 and went into a semi-brick. It kept saying install Aborted so I went to reboot to system and it froze on the samsung screen and even the charge screen. I also couldnt get into clockworkmod. I had to odin back to stock PLZ DONT INSTALL ON MIUI LIKE THE IDIOT I WAS You could semibrick
I am currently using ClockWorkMod Recovery 6.0.1.2. The last few times I have tried to backup a ROM, I get : Error finding an appropriate backup handler. This happens at the end of the backup after it looks like everything is okay. Does anybody know what this means and how it can be corrected? I don't like flashing new ROM's without doing a Nandroid Backup. Any help would be greatly appreciated.... Thank you!

I agree about TWRP. Boyh are great in their own right, but I prefer TWRP by a longshot! Even has a built in file manager!
Don't worry, we were all nervous our first times!!
Seriously though, only took a few min and I was hooked!
On your problem, does cwm see both int and ext sdcards?
If it comes to it, connect to pc over usb and adb pull both /system and /data. Also internal sd.
At least you'll have some sort of backup and then id suggest odin flashing stock firmware.
Good luck!

Okay, I used the toolkit to NANDROID backup, 3x 5 minutes apart to be safe. Now that I want to go back after flashing a rom that is force closing eafh restore is throwing an error from the beginning using CWM. Im wanting the stock kernel and rom.
I am aware this was probably user error, nevertheless I need a few pointers.
Thanks in advance,

First pointer post in the right section and answer use Odin to restore back to factory and possibly restart...

Yes, you can install Goo and yes it will download the current version of TWRP but touch is still flaky. I changed to CWM until TWRP is adapted to the Note 8.
Is there a legitimate reason to have a recovery right now? With what is currently available to root users as far as roms and what not I just havent seen a reason to install one yet. Plus I tried TWRP a week or so ago using goomanager and it fails to install the script.

Thats what I'm thinking at the moment. I wish to root as the tools i like to use require it (FolderMount and SetCPU), but none of the Kernels or ROMS are mature enough for me to flash and while I'd like to support testing them, I will be using the device as my diary, calendar, organiser, sketchbook and note pad, and I dont want to jeopodise my ability to use it with an unstable build.
