i downloaded ngage_me's clockwork recovery img. how to flash this recovery ?

should i use Recovery flasher app ? or i can do this in ROM manager itself ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] droidax33:
@krishna

is it enough if i type these in terminal ?

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/name-of-recovery.img

or did i miss any steps ? :confused::confused::confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spyki007:
give it a try....

i tried with that app but everytime i flashed and rebooted my phone recovery doesn't work even my phone dosent boot up.....

it installed perfectly when i flashed it with android downloader.....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ngage_me:
Just to let u know... ext3 partition created for link2sd will not work with link2sd cauz... link2sd mount tht partition as /sdext2 where as clockwork searches for /sd-ext..

I can fix that but it require time and effort.. where as if we get froyo it comes app2sd by default :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ngage_me:

I downloded sebastians rco.mngr, n insialled clckwrkmdrec zip. but. doesn't flashing,i didnt connnected to pc,is it nessessary connect to pc for install n flash clockwrk/custum rec.?clockwrk/custumrec.saying "installed recovery unknown"..(widoutpc)

what to do?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sbacham:
ther was i hadseen "recovery"on my screen with som options "reboot","nondroidback.n restore","flashzip"but no one can't working,say"Oops somthing problem...."
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ngage_me:
extract .img file from the zip put it in folder and then use rom manager to flash the recovery.. it will flash it successfully but since it CW recovery it will say unknow or not recognized recovery.

Then hold home+power button u'll see a new recovery (check this b4 and after flashing to see the difference)

@krishna_nirvana-for the budget you mentioned i guess the optimus one still remains the best choice considering the official gingerbread update is out for it ,but do consider stretching your budget a little bit more and thinking about offerings from huawei

@droidax33-no friend you dont need to install these themes as apps,Instead you need to first install the custom recovery for micromax andro(posted on first page) and then download the theme files and then copy those <name of theme>.zip file to the root of the sd card and then boot your phone to recovery and then select the option called flash zip file .That will give your phone the new theme

and no you dont need to install all your apps again after installing the theme

@er.davinder-the andro a70 is a good phone considering the price range but you know what ,after the experience with a60 it feels futile .go for some other brand

@aayush89-the cyanogen team is a modding and rom development team that has been producing some of the best hardware optimised roms for different phones .they have so many extra features on their rom builds that the overhauled experience makes android usage a whole together different one.And the cyanogen team mods are also worked upon by other individual devs to enhance or change the features and look.I hope that helps your doubt

guys-updated the first page with the new posted theme as well .Ngage -keep up the good work buddy.(i miss my andro :( )

friend if u are using cybrom then it automatically installs apps on sd not in phone memory, so acc to me it might be your memory card space is full and also if it not worked try format your phone from recovery, then wipe cache and dalvik cache.

and also can anyone please teach me something about android...

things which ate my brain are

custom recovery, stock recovery, clockworkmode, reebootmenu, what does framewrork.apk do?, what is custom rom? svprm rom, cybrom, rom manager, how does clockwork mod recovery helpful what does it do? recovery.img, densitytheme, nandroid backup, ARM9 installation Custom recovery Beta, and also pls do tell me whats
