I don't know if you can rename the folders themselves, but you CAN rename the backup file itself. I use Root Explorer to do this. Just make sure you don't put any spaces in the new file name. You can use dashes and underscores to separate words and numbers, though.
Someone in the past said you can download mand5 to generate a new md5 sum, but I haven't tried it.
@visedmonk do u think andro zip will work it says it will let me rename then i click on that and it says change to file extension can make file unusable and i dont space any letters for instance il put cm for (cyanogenmod) rite next to the numbers havent had the balls to try it

I dunno. I've never used andro zip. Only one way to find out...
But seriously, it should work. To be safe, though, make a copy of the file you want to rename and place the copy with the unaltered name on your computer or sd card or whatever. Then you can rename the file and see if it works. If it does, great. If it doesn't, you still have the backup you need.

Don't know if you're using "nandroid" generically to refer to both the true nandroid as well as CWM but I rename CWM backup folders all the time and have never had trouble restoring them. I've done it from ROM Manager, via a file manager and also via ADB.

im talking about the folder not the actual files in the folder.
i just want to organize my roms so i can always jump between each
@suprah name it like this ex, 2011-06-16.05.57.13.....
you want...2011-06-16.05.57.13gingerbread ? rite well when i try that in andro zip it sayin it will make file unusable.... n i guess i will have to try and i always used to use rom manager and just go to manage and restore backups but its different with this phone especially cuz rom mana doesnt see cwm i guess?

Yup, that's exactly what I'm talking about. I rename the folders all the time and have no problems restoring.

alright welp as long as you rename the folder without any spaces, then there would be no problem with restoring nandroid backups
nice nice will try soon cuz yea i have like 6 backups on here n was writing the date down with a name lmao
I renamed the folder once and couldn't restore. It was making a reference to the md5 file.
What I did to fix the backup is rename the folder again but this time without spaces and then it let me restore without any problems.
Now my Nandrioids are all organized
Hope that helped

the stock rooted nandroid restore that's posted in the dev section is renamed to LG-P999-V10f. it's not the typical date format. and alot of people have used it. so the answer is ....yes.

Could be there's a coding error in the recovery code and stops parsing the directory name when it hits a space. The md5 file only references the individual files not the directory.
In general it's better to stay away from spaces in file and directory names. Back in the early days of *nix spaces were verboten and there are still some vestigial issues lurking either in the code or in the coding habits of some people. It's rare but it does happen. Hyphens, underscores, periods are all OK though.

If after you rename the folder you get an md5 error. This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714114 can help you fix it.
BE SURE AND READ THAT POST COMPLETELY
It's imperative that one not generate an md5 sum for a nandroid that is actually corrupted. That will wreak all kinds of havoc on your system.
ONLY PERFORM THE ABOVE IF YOU KNOW ITS NOT RESTORING DUE TO A NAME CHANGE
EDIT: For the record, the above commands can be performed from terminal emulator if you know what bits to leave out. Saved me a few steps.
I rename all of my nandroid backups. They are easy to get confused otherwise. The only thing I change is the year in the date, and leave the month/day alone.

Yea I downloaded the Stock Nandroid and loaded it. I renamed the folder and got a MD5 error. Now I'm not sure it if was because of the rename or because it was a bad download to begin with.
I think I still have the file on my pc and possibly find the MD5 checksum before copying it over this time.

Can I change the name of my nandroid backups?
I want to keep a few but have a hard time remembering what they are when they are displayed as a date only. I do not know enough about clockworkmod to know whether I can change the names of my backups or not .
Thanks
From ROM manager. Manage and restore backups and create backup

Yes you can change the name. Go into RomManager. Then go into Manage and Restore Backups. Choose the one you want to change and long press on it and let off. It will then give you choices, Restore-Rename-Delete. Just choose Rename. A bubble will pop up with the name highlighted. Tap and rename. They are displayed year/month/day/time . Hope that helps .
or just go into a file explorer like root explorer
got to /Sdcard>Clockworkmod>Backup>And then rename it
should work
Great thanks. I was just worried the recovery was expecting the name format to be specific or something and that changing it would bork my recoveries.
Thanks everyone.

word of advice, when renaming it, do not put spaces in the folder name or else you'll get an error when trying to restore it.

Where is my boot animation located on my SD card?
Help appreciated!
It is under /system/media/bootanimation.zip
You won't find it on your SDcard. You'll need an app like Root Explorer to access the file system.
You could also use ADB to push the files there if you're familiar with ADB.
dont have that.. i replace the ones in Bamf_Extras.. but it didnt work
Are you familiar with ADB?
honestly, no. I one click rooted. what can I do?
can i push using clockwork recovery?

I believe there is a free alternative to Root Explorer in Super Manager. It contains File Explorer (Root). It may allow you to copy the bootanimation.zip and mp3 file into the directory. I also am unsure if it will let you set the correct permissions on the files once they are copied. It may be something you can try.
---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------
I went ahead and installed Super Manager. It will allow you to do what you need. You'll find the permissions button on the bottom menu bar if you scroll to the right.
You dont need any apps to do it for you, the bootanimation is in system/customize/resource folder you name it the name as the one in the folder and copy over it. Most if not all the developers name it bootanimation.zip the default Verizon is named VZW_bootanimation.zip I have helped people add sound to their boot animations as well this can be edited in the system/customize/CID folder in the file default. Must be edited with notepad++ or wordpad++ its one of those look near the bottom of the file for boot animation. I have become quite good at doing this by breaking it and fixing it. Things like this need to be learned the hard way.

The correct file path is for BAMF Forever 1.0.6 is system/media/bootanimation.zip
There is also an audio file that you can replace in the same location.
I edited my CID file so it where I want it to be. I am used to default setting. Also you can copy over audio but you still need to change desc file and CID so it starts with correct animation. Should I roll my eyes back? Plus I never even said anything about BAMF forever....

I assumed you were attempting to address the original posters questions about changing his boot animation on BAMF Forever 1.0.6. I didn't understand that you were merely randomly posting about how you like to edit this and that. You can roll your eyes back now!
Is it possible to rename back ups in CWM v6.0.1.2. Had a look in the recovery setting but no options to rename. I'm using 3 ROMs to work off and it gets a little confusing with the dates , would be so much easier having named back ups ....Something like :
AOKP_02_10_2012
CM10_29_09_2012
Baked_27_09_2012
Any ideas please ? Yes I know I could try it and see for myself , but I don't want to mess about in recovery as it's a recipe for disaster.
Yeah u can name them whatever u want.
Download astro, or es file explorer. I know es you can rename them. Just fimd the clockworkmod/backup/ folder then long press and choose rename. Hope this helps!

Simple as that ? WOW do I feel stupid , just didn't want to risk losing what I had in the back ups.

This one worked for me on the Touchwiz Email ON A DEODEXed Stock ROM. (I did not create the script, I just use it )
It did not work before the deodexed rom came out but that could have been a fluke (ie not sure).
Run it the .bat file and type the following at the prompt when it says it can't find the email application:
SecEmail_J.apk
If necessary, the following is the name of the exchange apk (this shouldn't be required though)
SecExchange.apk
Hope that helps you.
_______
Another note:
After you have performed this once successfully, copy the SecEmail_J.apk and SecExchange.apk from the /system/app folder on the phone to somewhere on your computer for future use.
When you go to flash a new rom, open the .zip file and drop the .apks into the /system/app folder inside the ROM that you want to install. You won't need to run the hack script or do anything special in recovery.
As long as Touchwiz is not updated, those .apk files will be usable in place of the script. (unless you get an uneditable ROM .zip).
If Touchwiz is updated in the future, the answer would be to repeat the hack process above and then get the new versions of the .apk files for future use.
As always, I hope this helps.
Let me know if anyone has difficulty.

Glad it worked! I was going to post the actual files from my phone but they are over 8 MB and XDA has an 8MB limit.
Alright, I ADDED THE FILES FOR THE ORIGINAL STOCK ROM!!!!
I had to use 7zip to split the files.
Remove the .zip and the parenthetical at the beginning of the filenames, then highlight both and hit extract. (name them "Exchange_Bypass.7z.001" and "Exchange_Bypass.7z.002" )
ACTUALLY,
(remove_this_and_the_.zip)Exchange_Bypass.7z.001
and
(remove_this_and_the_.zip)Exchange_Bypass.7z.002
work just fine. In other words, leaving the leading parenthetical does not cause a problem.
A pain, I know. But all you have to do is take the extracted files and put them in the "/system/app" folder of the ROM you wish to flash.
Alternatively, if you want to install on your phone (not flash with a ROM), use a root file manager, overwrite the files already in /system/app on your phone, then set the permissions to "rw-r--r--" (I haven't tried this one to be honest, it might be better to use the hack to accomplish this.)

I just tested them. They worked for me so I am not sure what to do?
I updated the post above to give the exact names to use.
Exchange_Bypass.7z.001
Exchange_Bypass.7z.002
Actually, all you need to do is remove the .zip portion.
I used the zip on MDL today and had no problems.
