[Q] CM9 Kang ROM - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I'd like to give it a try, can it be updated through CWM or manually only?

CWM works fine

I have CWM on my stock phone now, why isn't the CM9 Kang ROM listed?

You have to manually download it.

Just to be clear:
I will have to manually download the CM9 kang zip and manually flash it with CWM
But after that, can I simply use CWM to download new updates to flash?
What about when CM9 is actually released, will can I simply flash over the Kang or will have to 'start from scratch'?

I think you are a bit confused. You could use premium version of rom manager to download roms and then flash from your sdcard in CWM.
Or you can download the rom onto your computer, copy to phone and flash from CWM. You can't use CWM to download roms.

I always have with my Nook Color. I have the free ROM Manager on it. I can list all the ROMs available for it, download what I want and when it's done downloading, reboot directly into CWM to flash the update.
Or are CWM and ROM Manager separate entities?

Ah yeah, that's not what you said originally i think. Yeah you cans till do that. I don't do it that way but you can.
Rom manager is the app on your phone, CWM is the recovery you boot into. You can't download roms from the CWM recovery but you can from rom manager and do it as you have described.

OK, so once I have CM9 Kang running, can I use ROM Manager to download updates?
And once CM9 is released can I just update to the official version?

CWM Recovery using old version?

The hacked kernel with CWM recovery posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268037
Seems to be from build EB30, but my phone came with build EG30. Why the difference, and is EB30 safe to use?

All current versions of CWM are a little iffy. We won't have total stability until we get an official build that's flashable via ROManager.
Ahh, so it is a known bug that the one from rom manager doesn't work? It seems to reboot into the stock samsung recovery to install itself, and that obviously refuses to install the image because it isn't signed. Isn't the ROM manager supposed to replace the stock recovery with CWM recovery and reboot into that instead?

Yeah, ROM Manager doesn't support the E4GT yet. Some of the devs have managed to compile custom versions of CWM for us to use but with no integration with ROM Manager.
To answer your first question I think EB30 was just a typo. it is supposed to be EG30.

Install goo manager from the market. Once you open it and grant superuser permissions, hit menu and choose install openrecoveryscript. It'll download and install the latest twrp recovery. You should have no issues then.

[Q] How do I flash CWM over TWRP? Rom manager not an option

Hi,
I have a Bell Galaxy S3 that has TWRP installed right now, but for some reason, only about 1/4 ROMS I try to flash on it lately, doesn't work. I would like to give CWM a try again, but I can't seem to find a way to flash it back. ROM manager doesn't give me the option and I can't find an up to date flashable TWRP or ODIN .tar file.

CWM will replace TWRP.
6.0.4.5 is the latest CWM and is needed to flash 4.4.2 ROMs.

I'm in a similar position with TWRP already installed but ROM manager gives me the option to flash CWM. If I use ROM manager will it still replace TWRP? I'm assuming it does, but I wanted to double check first.
PS I'm running an LG Optimius 4X HD, but a Google search for my question brought up this thread, which saves me starting my own.

I would not use Rom Manager. I would download a flashable zip made for your phone and flash it from TWRP. Alternatively, you could install it via adb/fastboot.

Thanks for the suggestion - is that done just by putting the zip onto the phone and using the "install" function in TWRP, just like flashing ROMs?

Yes. Personally, I used the latest release of Philz Touch which is based on CWM. There is a version that can be flashed via a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) and a tar version that can be flashed in the PDA section of desktop Odin.

The official download off the CWM website is a .img - will that work or do I need to compress it to a .zip? Thanks for your help, especially given I don't really belong on your section of the forum!

I believe you can flash the img via fastboot.

You can't flash roms using the stock recovery, only custom recoveries allow it... you'll need to install a custom recovery to install any custom roms

Not for flashing custom roms.... that's inky for .tar not .zip files... if you want a custom Rom you will have to install a custom recovery, no way around it

Either one is fine, but imo, twrp is much nice and the recent update has made it even better... you can download goo manager and install it from there.. just download goo manager from play store and hit the menu button and choose install open script recovery.. then boot straight into recovery and install the Rom of your choice... ( I say boot straight into recovery because I don't know how you rooted your phone and Samsung has a script that reinstalls the stock recovery when you reboot, so make sure you have a rim downloaded and ready to go before installing the recovery)

Nice! Thanks so much for ur help!

Is there a CMW rom I can flash?

When I, originally, rooted my phone I used CWM. It seemed to work okay and I was able to try a few ROMs. However, most of the posts regarding ROMs suggest to use TWRP. So, I flashed TWRP. Now, I can only get one ROM (Validus) to work BUT none of the Gapps ROMS work at all. So, I can't download anything from the play store. I want to try CWM again but where do I find a CWM Rom so I can flash over TWRP? Is there a way. I can live with Validus OS but I NEED Gapps. Please help!

Try older/newer versions of TWRP, the newest or older versions are not always the most compatible with ROMs out there. Hope you can make it work!
If it doesn't work, you can download ClockworkMod ROM Manager app ( Found Here )and try to install CWM recovery from that

I tried flashing an older version of TWRP but it just loads the newest version. Can TWRP run apks? If so, how? Is there a primer on how to do this?

No, the apk I linked is for you to install normally and run it normally. From what I understand is that you successfully installed Validus ROM but can't download any apps because you do not have gapps. If you download this apk file and install it with Validus already running, you can open the ROM manager app. What this does is that it allows you to flash CWM recovery without the need to download .zip files and flashing them.
