I was unable after searching to find a clear answer. Why is rom manager not able to flash clockwork on the g2x. Will it ever be possible or will we always have to update cw through NVflash?
An application cannot tamper with the recovery image of the device, no matter what. NVflash works with the processor directly.

If I installed CWM using NVFlash, should I still install ROM Manager from market once my phone is up and running?
I did the install after setting up the phone. There is really not much it does. If you try to check for a new nightly or ROM it always says to install the recovery. If you try to reboot to recovery, same thing. There just does not seem to be a lot of use around the application when it cannot do anything with the recovery at all.

Maybe. It does make things a bit more convienent, and doing the fake flash does not overwrite the true flash of NVFlash, or if it does just go back and flash via NV again. You can tell the difference because fake flash is orange while true flash is red.
I installed before I flashed true recovery, and the app still works. There's nothing Rom Manager does that CWM doesn't (unless you buy premium), but the app does it a bit more easily and saves you from having to navigate recovery mode.
Rom manager does not support dual core

You don't need to fake flash to use all the features. Just press menu and click manual flash override. It allows you to set your recovery in the app so it will let you use all the features.
Here is what I mean:

All of my study is in the city so my tab could get stolen one day and at home i have a younger brother who loves to play with settings etc
Is the encyption worth the hassle?
Does it break anything?
Do i have to decrypt re-encrypt every boot is it slow?
I have never had this option before but it seems like a good idea i just want to know how it plays in real world use before i do it.

The problem with having an encrypted partition is that CWM at moment can't really do anything useful to those partitions. You cannot flash, backup, or restore via CWM. This means your ability to work with custom ROMs is effectively crippled. In fact, to undo the encryption (or if you forget your password), I had to nvflash back to stock. Factory reset via CWM cannot be done since, again, the partitions are still encrypted.
If in the future, CWM is able to access the partitions like the stock recovery can, then you'd be fine.

I wouldn't touch it for now. If/When CWM allows for it (possibly ICS, as I might guess that the closed nature of HC is limiting development around encryption support?) then maybe..
Thats a good point ae hopefully with icys than can also make abit more headway with the more advanced recoverys to
Never thought about that before thanks

is there any way to just obtain root access without having to install a custom recovery? I would like to just have root on stock
I think every time you reboot the phone your recovery will be set back to stock. You have to flash CWM every time you need to use it.

This is incorrect. Once you flash a custom recovery it is there to stay unless you remove it. Now on too the real point. Why would you want to root and not have a custom recovery? The point of having root access is to be able to gain access to things you can't unrooted and top flash custom firmware, hacks, mods, etc. which you cannot do with stock recovery. Secondly why would you want to stay on stock gingerbread when there are TONS of beautiful ICS roms to run. If you really want to be stock then root and flash a deodexed stock ROM. If not try MIUI or a tweaked out ICS ROM.

This is MIUI and it's beautiful.
Anyways...If your problem is with CWM in general then flash TWRP (great UI and all touch input) as far as rooting check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17300587 there are how to videos and what not. Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9919944 for everything you need to get your phone connected to your computer (drivers, etc.) And here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21968928 for different recoveries.
Trust me, rooting and flashing custom firmware is the best thing you can do for your NS4G and is safe as long as you always follow instructions and keep a good stable nandroid backup just in case.

Its not that I am afraid to flash, I constantly flash roms but i am most comfortable with gingerbread and was wondering if i can just have it rooted without a custom recovery because I dont want to flash any other roms for the time being.

Only if you install a custom ROM. The stock ROM reflashes the stock recovery on every boot.
It can be disabled by removing or renaming /system/etc/install-recovery.sh though.

The S/W Upgrade screen shows up on my phone, I pull the USB, restart with the Vol - and Power, but i get stuck at the LG screen forever.
Go to cwm and flash a new rom
For me, it's aroudn 10 seconds to get in to CWM

Got it all sorted out, had to basically revert to stock G2X using that flash.bat method that is floating around. Worked like a charm! running Nullifier Single right now, already have CM7 RC1 on deck followed by a legit open source Kernel Faux was messing around with.
I'll use my banned IMEI G2X for ICS builds.

Here are just two flashable .zips I made for Swiftkey Flow. There is a phone one and a tablet one. Just remember, Swiftkey Flow is only in the beta stages.
How to install
1. Flash in recovery
2. Reboot

Fair enough but surely it's more effort booting in to recovery, flashing the file, and waiting for the phone to reboot than just clicking install lol

It's the same thing as going into a file manager, hitting the file you want, and then clicking install. I personally like flashing app zips as apposed to installing them manually.

Did you format the phone on accident?

I don't normally suggest toolkits but I see u looking at wugfreshs toolkit so im guessing you are half way familiar with it. Use the flash back to stock with the soft bricked section checked. You are OK just take your time and breath and read before you really mess up your phone. You obviously are getting way ahead of yourself and doing things you don't understand. That's a great way to hard brick your brand new shiny toy.

No need to panic. It is not bricked. Just flash system recovery and boot in the fast boot mode.
Just check how to upgrade to 4.4.1 thread. They have factory image for 4.4 which you can use for flashing.
