[Q] ROM Manager Alternative

ROM Manager probably doesn't support the galaxy R yet, Any alternatives???

clockworkmod recovery with cwm.apk available in android dev section is much much better option than rom manager.

unknownzd's kernels have new 5.xx cwm but it has bug of not detecting external sd card, u can find it in dev section, if u wanna use that recovery with other kernels just extract recovery.img file and replace it with ur recovery.

V4 is outdated. I recommend you to use v6. You can examine backups with that too, you just need to set the backup format to tar. dsixda's kitchen can handle it.

U can flash any ROM u want, unless the ROM owner explicitly specifies a different kernel.

I experienced that some special ROMs aren't working with siyah, but the popular ones like CM, AOKP, PA and MIUI will be compatible.

Any rom you flash will have a kernel packaged with the rom so you don't have to worry about compatibility with the initial flash. Should you decide on a different kernel with that rom then you check for compatibility between desired kernel amd rom

[Q] Help me to install CWM samsung s/sgh-t959v

Hi i am a big noob jejej i need help to install clockmod recovery on samsung galaxy s/sgh-t959v I have read the wiki of sgh-t959v
and i wanna install this ROM RemICS - UX ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766959 )
but I can not install clockmod recovery ( CWM 5.x Flashing via Recoveries (For CWM 5.x and above) )
I tried with the app .ROM Manager but the Samsung Galaxy s/sgh-t959v not supported. :crying::crying:
Would greatly appreciate if someone helps me to install this ROM on my phone Samsung Galaxy S/SGH-T959V
Sorry for my bad English

You need to flash one of the two kernels listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V/Kernels via SGS Kernel Flasher which you can download for free in the play store. Then you will have to flash cyanogenmod 9 found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730954. After flashing the gingerbread kernel and then flashing the cm9 ROM, you will be able to flash the ROM you want. Follow the instructions on the threads according to the kernel or ROM. The Wiki is always the best way for answers.
