I wanted to ask the question in villain roms thread but was not able to.
Anyway I have just installed the 2.4.2 rom and noticed that the cwm app which I had before is no longer there.
Is this normal?
I was using another custom rom, then used the cwm app to boot into recovery, wiped partition, cache etc before installing the villain rom.
I can still access the cwm by holding vol up, home and power, but liked being able to boot into recovery from within the phone.
I want to know if I can get the app back, and if it's normal for the villain rom to have removed it.
Thanks

Just one more question on this link with the cwm apk http://forum.xda-developers.com/misc.php?do=showattachments&t=1198334
There are two, cwm 2.00 and cwmmanager which one do I use?
No problem
Currently not using Villain, but 99.99% sure I used the cwm 2.00 apk.
Edit 100% sure now - the first link in post #813 on said thread was what I used, that's the cwm 2.00 apk.
Hi,
I didn't want to open a new thread for this,
so I'm using this thread...
Is it possible to install CWM application by taking the CMWManager.apk from a system already having it (different system having a kernel with CWM) and copying it to the system/app folder ...?
I mean, if I install a kernel with CWM (like CF-Root), copy the CWMManager.apk to my SD card, and then copy it back to any other ROM I install in the future, with any kernel, will I have the CWM app in my new system?
Will it work...?

Yes as long as you have a version of ClockworkMod recovery that is supported by the app, aka almost every sgs2 kernel apart from the CM/aosp kernels which use rom manager.

I can confirm this, I have the cwm app running on three devices, all running different software. But because I have clockwork recovery on all 3 devices, the app works fine.
And it does still work with my sgs2 running CM7.
EDIT: Its the tweakmanager app that is dependant on cf-root I think.

Interesting, i didn't think it would work so well, it's mainly that we can't use rom manager on kernels with CWM based of chainfires version of it, rather than a "stock" cwm version

I might be wrong, but I think that might be because rom manager uses a 'fake flash'.
Currently rom manager sees the backups I've made using the cwm app, and vice versa.

Yeh, you can't flash cwm from rom manager without a cwm kernel, and due to modifications made by chainfire this cwm img won't work with rom manager, so says his thread

Is it possible to flash a .TAR/.MD5 kernel files (usualy used for Odin) by using CWM option "Flash Kernel" ...?
If not, what's the difference between CWM "Flash Kernel" and "Flash Update" if they both flash ZIP files...?

.tar kernels can be flashed via the cwm manager App.
Flash kernel let's you flash tar files and zimages.

By the way,
Is it possible to flash a full ROM from a TAR file using this "Flash Kernel" option in CWM manager app...?
Or is it limited to kernels only?

Nope, you need scripting to flash a whole rom, and that's what makes a zip flushable, the bloody annoying and overly complex edifying scripting.
The tar is just a zimage inside a file!

I have been using CyanogenMod-7.1.0-RC1-Cooper-KANG for more than 1 week now. I had created a Back-Up of the stock rom before flashing the CM7 with Clockwork Mod. Today I tried to restore the original stock rom directly. I did it with the same Clockwork Mod. It showed that it restored successfully, but when I clicked Reboot Phone, it did reboot but stuck at the screen "Galaxy Ace -Samsung".
What shall I do to get rid of this? Can I flash "CyanogenMod-7.1.0-RC1-Cooper-KANG" with the help of ODIN directly into the phone? Please help

dude if you need CM then flash it as you installed it [recovery mode zip update]...
and if you want stock rom then get it from samfirmware and flash it using odin.
Greetings XDA-World.
Well, Firstly, id like to mention that today is my first day as a registered member of xda. And Yeah, im just 15 so you can call me a noob or inexperienced, i dont mind.
Well Anyway, before i flashed CyanogenMod 7.2 RCO by vo-1, I took two backups of the original stock firmware, one using CWM 4.0.0.9 and the other using CWM 5.0.2.6. However, i decided to go back on stock using the backups but failed, and my Ace is stuck on bootloops. If someone could help me get these backups to work, i would be really grateful.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Admins im sorry ive posted in the wrong place or wrong method ot whatsoever, im a newbie]
Thanks,
UsmanJ

You cannot restore Stock ROM's backups using CWM. If your stock rom was on ext4 filesystem then it could have been possible. But, I think you made a backup of a stock ROM and not a custom ROM based on Stock ROM. Lol, a bit confusing but you cant restore that backup as far as my experience says.

Thanks brother. Yes, i could guess that because most custom rom format the system partition as ext4 because it occupies less place. Isnt it possible that we format the System partition in a way tht is supports the initial backup?
Sorry if im too newb.

Ney. Cuz the original backup was taken on a rfs filesystem. You can try one thing. Flash stock rom via odin, root your ace, install ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.6 and then try restoring that backup. Not really sure if this will help but there's no harm in trying

I'm looking at installing cronomod unofficial script to free up internal memory.currently using link2sd and have 3gb ext 3 partition on 32gb card. I have razodroid 2.5 with the September version of Rafael kernel that came with it. I can see the ext 3 partition on root explorer. Cwm won't let me mount it to follow the instructions on the modified chronomod thread.I used the version of cwm on the thread.I looked on the net and there were no answers relating to acei.

Its the kernel. Someone on the unofficial cronomod thread suggested using a kernel with cwm in it. Ace cream has one in it. In addition you need to set the sd-ext as primary I also forgot to do that in one of my many reformats trying to get this going

Just noticed this post. You've probably got it sorted by now but thought I would answer in case you hadn't.
Take a backup of your razodroid with cwm.
If you flash ace cream 1.3 it will give you a rafael kernel with built in cwm. The cwm in the latest rafael kernel (or hell lock kernel's version) won't recognise my sd-ext either.
The version in acecream 1.3 recognised my sd-ext and I then restored the backup which doesn't touch the kernel but would replace razodroid for you.

You must have partitioned sdcard for sd-ext
