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.
I've been checking out lots of custom lock rings lately...

I use it to make and manage my backups.

Okay, I was just curious because I'm thinking about giving my nephew that option. However, I don't want their to be any issues. He has a droid incredible 2 that a fixed. LOL.
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.

Couldn't you just rename a nandroid with astro or something?

Sure, but why would you do that knowing RM let's you name the backup?

Because then you wouldn't have to use Rom Manager

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.

So I am trying to copy past browser from frozen rom to urban metamorpisis how ever my computer won't let me does anone have any ideas on how to do this
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
If you have root you could copy it to your SD card with Root Explorer from the Market. Titanium Backup would let you back it up and restore the backup on another ROM.
Needs to be pushed to system\app with root explorer. Then reboot.

I tried that won't let me push it there for some odd reason

Did you hit the mount r/w button in the upper left hand corner of root explorer?

Yes I did I get to the app folder in system/app and then I clicked paste then I look to the folder and it didn't get placed
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Try deleting or renaming the old file first then copy and paste the new one. Are you using Root Explorer?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yes I am using root explorer I got it placed in current running rom in system/app and then re boot and look in app section and browser still not there try installing apk direct says app not installed

So you paste it,check it, its there, reboot and its gone?

Everyone says the kernel must support init.d for the boot animations to work, but I cannot find any information on what do I have to place in the init.d to force the kernel to load bootanimation or sanim instead of the fugly sprint animation.
rooted FF18 + .4.2 agat's kernel, I like my current setup just want to get rid of the sprint animation.
If anybody can lead me to the information it'll be much appreciated.
The new boot animation is placed in the system/media folder. Rename it to bootanimation.zip and reboot. So just download one you like and force it in to the media folder or use ROM tool box and it will put it in the system/media folder for you.

Are the permissions set right? Look at g_ding84's screen shot.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, wow that slipped my mind. Sorry about that. Match the permissions to your ROMs permissions.
Yes the permissions are set as in the picture, also, ROM Toolbox will download the file and supposedly install it but nothing happens, sprint animation still showing.
Make sure you set the install location to system/media. It may want to install data/local.
ohhh
Edit: Changed install location, still nada.
Maybe its because I only have stock FF18 and the only custom thing is I'm using agat's .4.2 ?
Let me know how it turns out
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Changed the install location, and the animation plays when I select "preview current" but when I reboot its back to sprint.
Hmm...your running agats kernel right?

You're rooted, correct? And have verified with, say, root checker?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Yes I am rooted (sfhubs FF18 rooted) and yes I'm running .4.2 agat's kernel, the only things missing from the rom are most of the Sprint crap (widgets and such) and that's it, rooted stock.

is there any way to give stock file manager root access so I can copy/paste .apk, delete some old backups I did from CWM ect.
I know there is a bunch of file managers on the GPlay but i like the smooth and simplicity of the stock one.

Does anybody have the emoji keyboard 4.2 file? I have searched and downloaded the file at least 5 different times from multiple places but whenever I go to flash the zip the installation is aborted error with the zip and I get the dead android figurine. Has this been happening to anybody else? I want the emoji 4.2 keyboard.

Have you checked the zip to seeing there's an apk inside? You may need to manually push it to /system/app and set permissions
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Just out of curiosity, do you have to be rooted and running a custom rom to use the Emoji keyboard? Also, Will this allow you to see Emoji everywhere they are use ei Twitter, instagram?
Yes the zip has an apk inside but I didn't push it to system because it also has libs and other files inside that I don't know how to install and where to put.

I don't think they've worked all the kinks out of that cam for all roms yet. Current workaround is to tap to focus before each shot, or shoot in action mode. See if that works for ya.
I am still waiting for some one to point me towards the zip file

Working fine here on my end. Very nice too. I dig it.
For those of you having trouble flashing... just extract the two .apks from the zip with a file explorer, and also the lib file... we'll make this simple and I'll tell you just copy all files to the directories indicated below:
Copy the two apks to /system/app/ directory...
Now copy the lib file to /system/lib/ directory...
Reboot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, then fix permissions.
Success.
