ROM Manager - Opinions?

[Guest Involver]

I've found this app, 'ROM Manager', which supposedly handles ROM switching and backup/restores. I was wondering if anyone has tried it and what their conclusion is... Worth trying or not of interrest?

I tried it, didn't work for me. When you download it, it asks you to flash the 'Recovery ROM' which I couldnt get to work, and to top it all off, it also screwed up my Super User Permissions, meaning I had to resort to re-flashing the official HTC ROM, then re-rooting my phone from there.

My advice, stick with AMON RA's recovery, and keep all your custom roms and backups safe on your PC. Much easier and safer that way.

+1 I personally use the nandroid-mobile script to back-up/restore my rom's. Gives you a lot of power and control over them.

I have the "premium" version, but it only gives access to CyanogenMod ROM 1.0 + GoogleBits and VillainROM 4.0 beta 2 (on HTC Hero). Flashing the ClockworkMod Recovery image worked for me, but, as mentioned in previous posts, Amon RA's Recovery (1.6.2) is IMO better (ClockworkMod Recovery allows to flash from a subdirectory on the SD card, but I usually have them in root folder).

Its much faster to flash ROMS with Clockwork Recovery because its not check the update.zip..............................

but i like Amon´s Recovery more! Restoring backups is easy enough from there ;-)
