Rom manager asking to install cwm when I already have it. - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have a galaxy note 2.
I rooted it and installed supersu and cwm touch 6.0.1.9
But when I installed rom manager it asks me to install cwm recovery.
Maybe because I am using the free version ?
I can't flash roms cuz I don't want normal recovery.
Please help me

It is a known bug with rom manager...It does not recognize if cwm is already installed. ... ignore it and go ahead with reboot to recovery

No i have cwm touch 6.0.1.9 touch recovery which i can boot into and use.
i myself like twrp but i think there is more support for cwm.
if there is any advantage of cwm or disadvantage of twrp, you can share.

i rebooted into recovery but i want to flash cyanogenmod.

ROM MANAGER IS NOT TO BE USED WITH SAMSUNG DEVICES.
eot

Click Menu > Manual Flash Override. Then ROM Manager will acknowledge your currently installed recovery. However, if you're using TWRP, don't use ROM Manager! Enjoy!
As for flashing CyanogenMod, download it from get.cm and Google search for gapps. Then manually flash in CWM Touch.

Ya'. I know that the bugginess and lack of S-Pen support in CM 10.1 pre-release nightlies can be a bit trying. However, once a stable build of CM 10.1 is out, I think you'll be able to overlook the lack of S-Pen support and truly enjoy it. In the past, I've always been able to. Custom ROMs are almost always a matter of preference and opinion. However, when it comes to modified "stock" ROMs versus AOSP-based ROMs, the AOSP-based ROMs are almost always better. And that's not a statement of opinion; that's a statement of fact. AOSP-based ROMs are almost always cleaner, smoother, faster, and once finalized, more stable.
So now that you have ROM Manager working with your preferred custom recovery, I suggest you play around and try out some modifications, kernels, ROMs, etc.... and once a stable build of CM 10.1 is out, give it a second try. I think you'll find it more than adequate for daily use, and quite appealing for root and power use.
I hope my post has been helpful and I wish you the best of luck in modifying your device. Always remember to backup your EFS and do a Nandroid backup before any modifications, tweaks, or kernel/ROM flashing. Take care and have a good one! Thank you!
Thanks,
Edward (Mister_Mxyzptlk)

I think s pen is one of the main features of note 2 the 'highlights'
I don't think i can simply overlook the lack of features of s pen, as i am used to it now.

Yeah. I hear ya'. If the S-Pen was actually one of the major selling points that lured you into buying the Note, and if you use the advanced S-Pen features regularly, then I guess there really isn't any way to overlook it. I love the S-Pen. However, I find that I don't miss it's advanced features quite so much when I've got a stable, smooth, and blazing fast AOSP ROM on my device. However, as you appear to be somewhat more dependant on the S-Pen's advanced features than me, it really wouldn't make sense for you to give all that up just for an AOSP ROM. However, on that note, there are some really well put together modified "stock" ROMs available in the regular development forum. They all contain full S-Pen support. One of those may be more to your liking if you're not inclined to stay completely stock. Just a suggestion. Anyway, I hope you find a ROM that's a good fit for you. I know it can be difficult; so... good luck!
Take care and have a good one man!! Later!!

[Q]Help from people who know things ;) ROM question

A friend of mine has an EVO, I do not nor have I ever used an evo before. He wanted a custom ROM installed and asked me for help. I would greatly appreciate any help offered by the community.
1. What ROM is closest to stock(If gingerbread is out for it then a gingerbread build would be nice), just tweaked/debloated/deodexed/zip aligned etc.
2. How well is CM7 running on the EVO? I have a captivate and CM7 right now is pretty unstable this is going to be his main ROM and he isnt too technical.
3. What rom has a good/easy update flow. Maybe something with rom manager where he can just click update and all is well in the world.
Thank you SO much in advance.

There are plenty of stock roms and there is a couple gingerbread floating around somewhere i believe as well so your winning on that.
Cm7 i believe is very stable rom and many people enjoy it. Not me but people really enjoy cyanogens work.

Flashing a Custom (even stock) Rom and then not wanting to update to the latest and greatest...ya....ok....NOT. Your friend will get a taste of what this is like and BOOM...hooked. The Rom I linked has a great OP in support. Enjoy the fun that you already know is gonna take hold of the phone your about to set free!
EDIT: Thought I'm sure this goes without saying, but will do anyway. Remind them......DO NOT...accept OTA updates even if they can...just sayin..lmao
CM7 or Death! I played with a lot of Sense roms for quite a while, but I determined they are nothing but bloat. CM7 is superfast, and I couldn't ask for much more in stability.
I'm Running Nightly 93 and May gapps.

I'm glad to hear its stable. If he is willing to give up sense and cm is stable then I might encourage him that way.
How is the battery life and do you have access to 4g speeds?

I used fresh for a long time, real nice ROM. I'm pretty sure everything was working on it at the time, don't know about now. I'm using MikG now which for me everything seems to be working, but I don't use HDMI out so i cant verify.
Yes, while Fresh ROMs have everything enabled it seems like a stock experience to me, I can't find a point in being rooted if I'm running a stock ROM. Basically I just don't understand how "Dev's" are putting up build (as of lately) and not listing the things that do not work.
+1 for Fresh (but to much of a "stock" feel for me)
I'm confused . . .
So you want a non-stock ROM that has Sense and works with all hardware but isn't too stock-like? If you want Sense but don't want a stock feel, what would you possibly like to see be different?
As to why root but maintain the user experience, the answer is simple: privileges. With root privileges available, their are several applications that can extend your device's functionality beyond what is possible without root.
For example, WiFi tether is considered an essential root-only app and allows the device to operate as a WiFi hotspot _without_ having to pay the ungodly prices carriers charge for the same service.
Another essential app is ClockworkMod/ROM Manager. ClockworkMod is a custom Recovery ROM (think of it as a Utility Partition) that most rooted Android phones use. ROM Manager is a Android app that gives you easy access to the recovery partition from within the standard Android shell. With ClockworkMod, you can create and restore _complete_ backups of your device, ROM and all installed apps, backup your WiMax keys, and even get OTA updates for certain custom ROMs.
Sans root, your device does only what your carrier says it can. With root, your device does whatever _you_ say it can.
Cheers.

Great point, I understand what you are saying about "root". It was a poor decision on my behalf to bring that into this discussion.
As far as what I'm looking for is just a simple ROM with everything working and some flashiness added in, but I want all my features to work to their full potential. On all AOSP ROMs it seems as if my camera isn't as good as the old 2.2 ROMs were. I haven't found a ROM out there that seems to take the quality pictures that the stock experience provides. I really like the 3.0 ROMs but they all have different functions that are not supported. Half of the Dev's do not even give a list of what is working and what isn't anymore. I'm just tired of trading flashiness for non working hardware, I have been in this forum for over a year and maybe it is just time I move on considering I rarely contribute.

Stock vs. Custom ROM - Need Opinions

ii've had a few phones before that i've installed custom roms on. and all these roms had bugs and made my phone behave slow and weird. i want to try a custom rom on the s3. but i dont want the same issues on it. i got some questions:
1. is stock better than custom rom for the s3?
2. are the custom roms SPECIFICALLY for the s3 bug free?
3. can you suggest which roms are the best for the s3 for battery life?
The rooms out there are great. If you want a stable Rom stick to the roms biased on ICS. I am waiting on official JB until I do a JB Rom
sent from my apple smashing s3
I haven't felt the need to flash a custom ROM, the stock ROM is just fine. One thing I did do is flash the latest Jelly Bean leak, pretty much everything works fine with it.
Often times we convince ourselves we are missing out on something, so we flash this or that rom, or hack, to try to get what we thought we might be missing, but don't see a big difference.
Your question alone shows hesitancy in doing something like flashing a custom rom. If you are worried about losing any features, or introducing some new bug, then stick with a stock rom.
But I highly recommend rooting, removing all the bloat, and at the minimum cleaning up your stock rom.

I recommend to root just for the ad blocking alone. Everything else is just a bonus.
But, the stock roms provide excellent battery life for what they are. The only reason I've rooted is so that I can flash ICS-like themes. Stock TWiz is atrocious-looking.

Ohh, cool. I'm downloading the image atm and was wondering, What's ODIN? Is that provided with the phone or do I have to dl that from somewhere?
Odin is the other part of Samsung phones that gives you full control.
I believe zedomax's video gives the link, but I will double check. There is a mobile Odin as well.

1. Define better.
2. Stock isn't bug free. But, there are ROMs with less bugs and ROMs with more. The devs will let you know in the first post.
3. AOSP and AOKP have the best battery. But, remember that the kernel you install plays a role.

Being an admitted flash addict when I switched from my vibrant to the s3 I was only going to root to get rid of bloat and install custom kernel as usual I spend way to much time flashing refreshing and tweaking what is already a great phone out of the box. So it is truly up to the individual. I will say there is great dev support and a lot of familiar faces from my previous device. Good luck in what ever you decide just make sure you do plenty of reading.

Simple port request

Ok guys, before I get flamed for not doing it myself I gotta say that my build system is down ATM. This is a simple thing to do, I just don't have the resources to do it. If anyone would be willing to port this for Toro, that would be AWESOME. It's a new recovery.

Its just another recovery since the unique features of it will not be open sourced by the dev.
What features of it intrigue you the most? I mean I spend all of ten minutes a week in recovery. I have no need for anything else in recovery other than what I currently have.

For me, CWM is ok, but it lacks the spice of TWRP. On the other hand, TWRP is like a cheap ass Android phone. It works, but completely ruins the experience. This is like CWM on steroids. If you read the OP it says 99% of it is open, just not the touch code like CWM. I feel that this is what I have personally been missing in a recovery.

I don't quite understand what the "spice of TWRP" and the "experience" of Android in a recovery are. To me, the two recoveries do the same thing; the only reason I use TWRP is that it is touch, and I have had bad experiences with broken buttons from overuse. So I need to agree with pirateghost; I don't see the appeal.

Its just another recovery since the unique features of it will not be open sourced by the dev.
What features of it intrigue you the most? I mean I spend all of ten minutes a week in recovery. I have no need for anything else in recovery other than what I currently have.

Missing Features from github source:
- all gui options, include touch code
- name the backup folder with current ROM name
- custom zip install menu (Free Browse Mode + custom startup folder)
- Create Update.zip from current ROM or from pre-existing backups
- misc nandroid settings menu (but /preload is included by default and I added option to toggle compression under backup format menu)
Please, do not ask for touch source, I will never share it, release it public or make it commercial...

I see. Didn't read that.

I don't quite understand what the "spice of TWRP" and the "experience" of Android in a recovery are. To me, the two recoveries do the same thing; the only reason I use TWRP is that it is touch, and I have had bad experiences with broken buttons from overuse. So I need to agree with pirateghost; I don't see the appeal.

Yeah I do, but I never got around to trying it since TWRP works anyway. Like I said, my recovery doesn't really matter to me as long as it works. Does it have any special advantages?
Got my build system up and running finally. Working on syncing some source now then I'll get this going probably tomorrow or so. If anyone is interested just let me know and I'll get it posted in the dev section

Compared to non touch ? Not really, I've started using it because I wanted to save the button wear, but since 4.1.2 I'm not seeing the recovery much anyway (using stock Google image). I tried TWRP, but went back quickly, since I was more familiar with CWM and didn't want to waste time relearning/trying something that I wasn't aware of how it all works when needed.
As for regarding recovery "features" some would probably want working radio in it and use it as a phone ...
Any word on this?

Any word on what? At this time the only useful aspect of this is the standard recovery features we already have with 2 other recoveries. Since he won't open source the only bits that make it unique it seems like a waste of time.

Looks like Phil just posted it in the Toro section! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281571
TWRP to me is pretty horrible. CWM is simple and it works. Ive used it from the start and never had any problems. also the latest version of CWM supports Toro (obviously) and is also touch. Not sure why the OP wants this one to be honest.

My Dads nexus 7

First. I hate doing this. I know there is no one best ROM for everyone. But I need a quick answers for tmr morning. But its not a open question. I am looking for a couple things
My 60yo dad wants me to root and put a new ROM on his device
1. Must be stable
2 perform at least as well as stock ROM. No beta or buggy roms
3. Does not need crazy options to customize.
4. Aosp browser, he needs flash for his stoner pot websites.
Have to have all of those
* cm looks like a contender because its over air updatable.
Anyways. You guys are smart and my dad is a bit of a technophobe. So keep that in mind, i have first gen n7 so I know nothing about this device.
Thank you for your charity an opinions!
He won't care about kernels or root apps. We just need to future proof it now and get flash working.
Thank you thank you thank you, please don't flame me. I know that everyone will have a different opinion on best ROM. But this is not a general best ROM question. Need an old man ROM.

try out Minimus http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2388599
and use the gapps from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
with this rom
very stable and no bells and whistles like roms with many addons
I would simply flash a Stock based ROM, custom kernel and remove some Bloatware, install an Adblocker I guess your Dad wouldn´t spend his time with some benchmarks ? I use a customized Stock based ROM myself and don´t miss any features since I use my tablet more productive :cyclops:

Considering his interests, I really recommend keeping him on a stock ROM. Any other ROM will have irritation points I don't think you will want to deal with.
