I've been reading a lot about Rom manager and the opinions are varied.
Is it okay to use for flashing, or better just to use it to download ROMs and get into CWR easier and go manual from there?
How about the backup function?

I use it for backups (because it's easy to give them a custom name), and Fixing Permissions. Anything else I do from CWM after downloading on a computer. Just my style.
I don't have a need for it, I like to do everything in recovery.
I like it for downloading Roms and installing... As stated above, backups are easy to rename or delete... I also use it flash kernals that I have saved in Dropbox... Check for new Roms...
All in all I'm happy with the Rom Manager app

I have had varied results with rom manager. It's great when it works, but really frustrating when it won't. I use it for backups and flashing kernels and themes and such, but I prefer to do roms manually, just because I like to wipe the dalvic cache, something rom manager won't do.

me 5, wish there was a alternative to rom manager
It's a great app, I use it for Backup and to check out random ROM info.
That been said, other than backup, I do everything else in CWM recovery.
Thanks for all the opinions!
So far, I've use it to download a rom, make backups (love that you can give them recognizable names) and to boot into CWM. Is it somehow safer to boot into recovery after shutting down the phone?
Saving back ups are great as others have pointed out, but it is also a great way for a newbie to flashing roms to get comfortable IMO. My first few months of flashing new roms was done all through rom manager.
I used mainly to update roms since they have that list thing, saves me time and effort to manually go on xda and such sites to check if the roms have been updated. Don't see it as anything nooby, just don't feel like scrolling through ads on XDA just to see if the TSMPoolParty rom has been updated or not, when I can just check in the Rom Manager and not have to deal with any ads.
The ads prevent you from coming here? Really?
Well thankfully for me I don't run into ads on any website I go to.
If you are using Firefox you should download Noscript. Probably the best Add-on I use to date. I never look at those annoying ads or pop-ups anymore.
I love ROM manager! It is excellent for making any backup, might I suggest weekly (or more!) backups with this app. It also good for downloading and managing new and current ROMs. Installing a ROM is probably most efficiently done through Clockwork though... unfortunately the ability to wipe certain things can't be done in this app... hopefully those are planned features though, if they're even possible.
I perfer to use CWM instead of rom manager. Just seems more safe to me. I can ensure that i do a full wipe and clear cache. Sometimes Rom Manager may not do it fully and when you flash roms is craps out.
Can someone tell me if there is a difference between turning off the phone and booting into CWM, and using Rom Manager to get there?

That's what I think, too.
I'm just curious what the general consensus is out there between these two recovery modules. I've always used cwm rec until recently when I couldn't test flash ANY cm10 jb roms. I had to install twrp in order to flash them and it worked right away. It nice to have touchscreen controls but newer cwm's have that now too so I guess I just want to be sure I'm not losing anything or missing out on anything by leaving cwm rec for twrp .. and many say to switch anyways but what is the general feeling out there and what are you others using?

TWRP to me just has a better layout and mor responsive touch UI.. Havent had any problems with it so far not being able to flash or anything so...
+1 TWRP is overall smoother and easier to use IMO, and 0 issues so far flashing anything or restoring backups.
I've used CWM since it was available for the Samsung Captivate. Great program. I'm now using TWRP, and I like it better. It appears to be faster, quicker backups and allows for more options. TWRP feels more responsive than Touch CWM (and I paid for that program).
Two points to consider. Backups for each program are only able to be restored by that program. Meaning, you can't restore a CWM backup using TWRP and you can't restore a TWRP backup using CWM.
If you use TWRP v2.2.1, the INTERNAL SD card mount point is \data\media instead of extSdCard. That's really confusing for CWM users and really annoying general.
You can flash recovery zips in both CWM or TWRP.. I flash my .zips from the external card now that I'm using TWRP.....
Both great programs....:good:
My favorite part about TWRP is that you can enable compression on nandroid backups.

Yep, I too had been using cwm since my first Captivate...and have always enjoyed it but have also recently switched to TWRP and find it to be better and plan to use it now.as.my only recovery.
It is unfortunate but true that u can't restore backups from the others program so all.my old.cwm nandroid backups are basically useless now unless I reinstall cwm but that's OK moving forward I guess.
I too was a bit confused by the internal.SD card file.system location in data/media and still.don't understand it but as long as u know then its OK. So far it sounds like twrp is the future of recovery and more and more people are switching...and the touch function and extra options.are.nice.features.
The bottom line is as long as I am not missing out on something or losing some important functionality then I'm fine with the switch from cwm and.will.stay with TWRP but will never deny the popularity and usefulness of cwm and how it got me going in the whole.game of flashing and.mod'ing phones.
TWRP is by far the best recovery I have ever used. I couldn't imagine life without it now.

I totally agree. I was using CWM on my Thrill and didn't get a chance to use TWRP till I got my Fire. Now I will only use TWRP. CWM is an excellent recovery but I like the features of TWRP better.

a lot of the rooting/recovery guides are suggesting to use clockwork recovery, is that just because twrp wasn't really supported back then? any issues noticed with using twrp on the sgs3?
as with all programs there is no "best" just personal preference: try one, then the other and settle on that which suits yoiur phone and needs "the best"
I tried TWRP and went back to CWM -- many others, obviously, tried and preferred TWRP
TWRP is easier & more efficient to use. Bar none.
But with that said, IMO CWM is still the better recovery for some situations. First, there is more support for CWM still.
Second, if you use a ROM's built in functionality to update itself (like AOKP has), then that requires CWM as far as I can tell.
Also keep in mind that it's easier to screw up on TWRP because it is touch-based. I've accidentally pressed buttons without meaning to. It's only a matter of time before that gets me into trouble.
I just wish CWM would remove the thousand "no" that you have to sort through before getting to a "yes". And I wish they would update it more often.
I did pay for my ClockworkMOD, btw.

Exactly the same as cwm. Except all wiping option are put together in the wipe menu, you can select multiple file to flash on after another and fix permissions is in the advanced menu.

Task and ktoonzes aokp ota updater now works with the newest twrp.
TWRP. I like its layout, and love that I can build a stack of .zips to flash. (Not sure if CWM has that feature, won't be causing me to switch over to it.)
Encrytion and backups!
The most impressive feature of TWRP hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet.. TWRP supports flashing ROM's on devices that have been fully encrypted !
Also, it allows for backup and restore of ROMs on encrypted devices that neither CWM nor CWM Touch support.

SO YOU WANT TO INSTALL CYANOGENMOD?
SO! You might be new to Motorola, or Android, or Maybe even smartphones in general! I put together this Guide/Thread to help anyone new to the RAZR M with the installation and usage of Cyanogenmod on this phone!
First of all, i just want to say thanks to Hashcode, dhacker29, and any others who helped make this a reality on the Droid Razr M
NO ONE, OTHER THEN YOU, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING YOUR PHONE INTO A PAPER-WEIGHT!! YOU ARE TO BLAME!
Before we flash, we must understand, there WILL be bugs at the beginning. most notably, Camera, WiFi and calls are a bit wonky so make sure this will work for you!
Requirements:
A rooted Droid RAZR M (either jellybean or ice cream sandwich, preferably jb ota)
The newest Safestrap.apk link (3.05.20 at the moment)
Rom of choice.
Now we have
CM10
CM10.1 Preview
AOKP alpha
The latest gapps for Jellybean Gapps
Steps for Installation:
0) Make sure you're rooted!!! This WILL NOT WORK UNLESS YOU'RE ROOTED!!!
1) Download ALL of the files above and put them in a place where you will remember, for me, i put them on the root of my SD Card.
2) Locate the Safestrap APK on the sd card using a file manager and install it.
3) Open the Safestrap application. You should get a popup from Superuser asking for permission. Allow it.
4) Next, hit the "Install Recovery" option and wait. This should only take a couple of seconds.
5) After safestrap is installed, power off the device. Once its off, power it back on. After the Motorola Splash screen, there should be a new, Safestrap screen. we're getting there!
6) On this safestrap screen, it should say "Safestrap Disabled" in red letters with the words "recovery" in the bottom left and "Continue" in the bottom right. Hit "Recovery"
7) Safestrap should boot up now. The screen will look like TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) to those that are familiar with twrp.
7.5) (OPTIONAL) Make a backup of your stock rom by pressing backup and sliding to backup.
8) Now, we must set up a Rom Slot. In the Safestrap menu, press "Boot Options" in the top left, which will have a blue outline.
9) Next, press ROM-Slot-1. System Partition and Cache Partition cannot be changed but the Data partition can. I recommend using 1 gb, unless you plan on installing a lot of apps.
10) This should take a while. After it is complete, the new Rom Slot is activated, meaning it will boot from that new slot from now on.
11) Press the home button to return back to the main screen. Now that we have a rom slot, we can install Cyanogenmod! From the main screen press "Install". It should launch and File Explorer-like UI with your SD Card already loaded. If it is on your SD Card, just scroll down until you see the rom and press it. Then slide to unlock.
12) After the rom installation is complete, we must install the Google apps (Gapps for short). When the installation is complete, hit the back button and find your Gapps package. install it like we installed Cyanogenmod. After the install, hit reboot system.
13) We are done! When you reboot, you should see the Motorola splash screen and then the safestrap screen, BUT, it will say "Safestrap Enabled" now and the picture will look different. Either wait the 10secs or press the "Continue" button on the bottom left. You should boot into Cyanogenmod
FAQ:
Q) Would you recommend installing the Cyanogenmod 10 Alpha?
A) Absolutely! Although it may not be a daily driver, its a good taste of what to come and VERY stable for a first release.
Q) Is it reversible?
A) Yes! 110%! If you want to go back to stock, but keep the CM10 on the rom slot, just go back into boot options, press the "Stock" option and hit activate. It should boot stock motorola android
Q) This is great! Who should I throw my money at?
A) Hashcode and dhacker29. They are awesome and TOTALLY deserve donations.
Q) This sucks! It made my phone come to live and eat my dog! Who do i blame?
A) Yourself. You take the responsibility for what you do to your phone. Not hashcode, dhacker or me.
If you run into errors, have questions, or any suggestions, don't be shy to post in here
Mods, I was unsure wether to post in General or Development, so if this is considered development, you can move it
Awesome guide. I have been playing with CM all day after it was released last night and loving it. However, I had trouble mounting my sdcard while attempting to install. I ended up using adb to push the zip to the new rom while in recovery and it worked like a charm. I am assuming that this might work for people without an sdcard at all. Perhaps this is worth noting? I am not quite sure, this is my first smartphone

Yeah. The sd card is mounted pretty strangely in safestrap. I think it may be why hashcode was working out a few bugs. I'll fix up the guide in the am

Alright. This is definitely a good guide though! Keep up the good work.
The SD card is located as /external_SD/ in recovery, you can choose internal or external bubble but either way keep going up directories, until you get to the root, then locate the /external_SD folder
Also I suggest putting this link in op
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/10/16/droid-razr-hd-razr-m-and-atrix-hd-all-rooted/
So people can have the proper tools with which too root with or else safe strap and cm are pointless
And I have a thread in dev section with extra stuff and tips for making cm10 faster check it out maybe merge some of the links or info here?

I saw the directory, but it wasn't mounting. I have a feeling it has to do with my sdcard however. It's a pretty old card.

Are you still using the stock ROM? Flashing to the stock is disabled atm.
what paul said ^.
if you really want to flash something, try making a backup, setting up a rom slot, and restoring to the rom slot. that'll allow flashing, idk if itll work though.

To All,
First Time poster....
I've been recently flashing new custom roms, and have settled down [for now] with The People's Rom (TPR). I've flash the rom and have to say its pretty stable even OC'ing it. I am however STILL having problems getting Adobe flash to work with it.
I have installed browsers (i.e., Dolphin HD, & Chrome) and have also attempted to use the stock browser and I can not get flash to work.
Here's what I am doing:
First, I prefer to use Dolphin HD, and in the past with either the stock rom or other custom roms, I install an older version of Dolphin HD (8.51 apk version) that allows me to actually turn on flash, then I install an older of version of flash labeled "install_flash_player_ics.apk) and adobe.air (verision 3.0.0.408). This has always worked. Unfortunately with this rom, I can't for the live of me get it to work properly, I have googled and googled and have attempted different version of both flash and air and STILL no joy!
I have attempted the same process above and used Chrome and the stock browser and not can not get it to work.
As a side note, when I flashed roms, I do a full clean install and follow these steps:
Wipe Data/Factory reset x3
Wipe Cache x 3
Wipe Dalvic Cache x3
Format System
Format Data
Format Cache
Wipe Dalvic Cache
---
Install ROM
Wipe Cache & Dalvic Cache
Install Kernel (Optional)
Wipe Cache & Dalvic Cache --- (Dont need to do this if your not installing a different kernel)
Install GAPPS
Wipe Cache & Dalvic Cache
Fix Permissions
Reboot
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Is there something I am missing?
Thanks,
Your using TPR you said? Which uses Aroma installer. During the aroma installer it gives you a choice to install your kernel of choice, it also gives you the option to install flash. It's part of the system apps. Now this is a TW rom which includes all gapps. Why on earth are you flashing kernels and gapps?
By the way questions and help request go in Q&A section. This thread will probably be moved.

Yes I am using TPR. When I used the Aroma installer, I selected the Ktoonsez kernel when I was given the choice. I dont' recall the flash option though.....
As for your comments about flashing GAPPS/Kernels, those are optional steps (as I indicated in my OP)...so in this case, I did NOT do those steps.
Should I reflash the rom again?

OK, I reflashed the TPR rom and NO WHERE did it give an option to select flash. Aroma stepped me through the install and gave me options to (1) select kernel, (2) type of launcher, and (3) install ALL apps or custom apps. With regards to the last option (3). I chose ALL apps, but just to confirm, I went into the custom apps selection drop down and it did NOT show Adobe flash as an option at all. I went ahead with the 'All' option, booted into OS and logged into google account as required and immediately launched the stock browser and attempted to load serveral flash enabled websites (like espn for example). Browser said flash was NOT installed.
I am running the latest version 3.15 of the TPR rom and I did not see the option you previously mentioned. I am I missing something? Flash NOT installed on my phone!!!
Thx

As for a bad download....I got the file via a link right here in the developer's section of this website for this rom. Do you have a verified link that you know works? If so, would you be so kind as to provide that to me?
Thanks,

No, not a bad download as in from the incorrect place. A bad download as in a corrupt file, which happens more often than you would think.
Try downloading the file again (from that same link) and check the md5sum of it against what dev-host provides. (Check the guide in my sig for how to check md5sums)

Ok just for you I went through the whole flash process, if you look clearly in this picture there's a choice for Adobe Flash Player.

Hey I am not sure what version of the rom you are using but I have the 3.15 version and I've validated its md5sum figures AFTER re-downloading the rom again from this website.
I do not have that option.....check out my video!

I've re-checked the md4sums again....all checks out with both the OPs original posting numbers and the hosting files website I was linked to.
BTW, I use an easier Windows GUI interface app called WinMD5.
Check it out @: http://www.winmd5.com/

I believe you were almost there in your video... You went to the "Customize my install" option, but stopped at the Google Apps... I believe if you select one of the google apps and then click next, it'll get you to the "Additional Apps" page that edfunkycold showed you. I can't tell from your video, but it looks like you just clicked back from the Google Apps section. I'm downloading the ROM right now to verify (30 minutes left, slow internet here at work), but that's how it was on 3.14 (the latest version I have on my SD card).

Man, if that's the case....that sure is a really really funky way to offer additional optional apps to install. NONE of the directions I've read about the installation process give you that information.....I would have NEVER figured that out if that is the case!
I will wait for you to d/l and run your install and let know if that is the case. If you notice in my video, when I select the custom apps to install, the only apps available to me are the GApps. I attempt to scroll down....I get nothing. I attempt to scroll left-to-right....I get nothing....
BTW, in the video you saw, I clicked back and installed ALL apps...so you would think Flash would be install correct???? Well each of the 4 times, I've installed and used ANY browser, various sites tell me Flash is NOT installed!
Maybe you will have some luck!

You mean within the custom menu with the GApps listing? There is no next button there...that sub-menu is limited to only GApps relates .apks. The only way to get out of that sub-meu is to hit the back page...
Are you certain that by selecting the GApps apks, that it will send you to an additional menu?
Regardless, If I selected install ALL apps, it SHOULD of installed flash....but it doesn't work!!!
Thx

Good job. Thanks.
A have request though... for the front hardware keys press actions...
Right now:
HOME - acts as ENTER which duplicates POWER key and ENTER virtual key;
MENU - moves selection down which duplicates VOLUME DOWN key and virtual key;
To many duplicate keys/actions...
Can you change them to act more natural, like:
HOME - go to main recovery screen;
MENU - show/hide log;
Also, don't know if it's possible to turn on the touch keys light..
Nice to see your work here. Thanks for sharing!
Subscribed. Nice to see this being developed for the Note3. I was using your recovery on my Note2.
So glad to see this here for our device.

Yes, I've restored a million backups on philz no issue. And the includes one backup made with twrp. Twrp is the recovery with issues. If you want the brickloop restore zip just to have on your SD card I have it. That's a good just in case kinda deal I keep. But I've only had it once and it was twrp. That's a sketchy ass recovery imo
This is some to notch stuff here. Out of curiosity, I tried backing up to external sdcard and it took close to 30 minutes. Then tried twrp, took only 5 minutes. Flashed cwm 6.0.4.5 (not philz touch) same 5 minute result.
Not *****ing or anything, just wanted you to know.
Is there a way to increase write speed to external?

Aroma file manager http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25911428
Download at the bottom of the 2nd post, rename "aromafm.zip", and place it in sdcard/clockworkmod/aromafm. Then the aroma file manager option under "philz settings" will work.
It wasn't automatically included in the recovery when I flashed, so in case others are missing it as well
