ATTENTION: I have started the rollout of ClockworkMod Recovery 5 for some devices. It will have faster tar backups, and will properly preserve the filesystem type at time of backup. If CWR5 fails to flash try flashing again, that usually fixes it (bad flash). If you have any issues with CWR5, feel free to roll back to the previous version, and report the bug to me at koush@clockworkmod.com!
ROM Manager is THE MUST HAVE APP for any Android root user. (Over 3 million downloads and counting!)
* Flash your recovery to the latest and greatest ClockworkMod recovery.

* Install your favorite ROMs over the air!
Premium Version:

Why does ROM Manager ask for account permissions?
Web Connect only needs to access your Google account to connect it to your google account. It can't access any private data or passwords.
Troubleshooting:
Droid users: Stuck at the "M" logo? Flash an alternate recovery and flash back to ClockworkMod.
HTC Users: Flash recovery not working? Try fastbooting a recovery on.
Droid X/2/Pro Users: You must run the Bootstrap application first to use ROM Manager.
Samsung users: You must flash a Clockwork compatible kernel first (see XDA forums)
IF YOU ARE HAVING LICENSE ISSUES, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST VERSION OF FREE (4.0+) AND THE LATEST LICENSE (1.0.7+) INSTALLED!

ROM Manager: Easiest way to install ROM's! Must Have App!
In my opinion ROM Manager is one of the greatest apps ever created. Before i go on with this review, i want to mention that Rom Manager is only for rooted devices. ROM manager makes your life so much easier because it does everything for you from flashing ROM's to installing custom kernels, themes, and creating backups of your current ROM. Rom Manager comes in two versions: Free and Premimum($3.99). I highly recommend you guys buy the premium version, the premium version gives you a bigger ROM list and also supports OTA updates for your ROM. Rom Manager has a simple, easy to use user interface and it supports all the wonderful ROM's that are out there.
As you can see, the ROM list is huge and it is updated often. I am able to jump from ROM to ROM with ease and get all the updates with just one click. The first thing you are gonna see when open up the application is this screen:
"Flash ClockworkMod Recovery", is a custom recovery created by Koush. ClockworkMod has Nandroid, which lets you create and restore backups. Here is a great writeup on Nandroid: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Nandroid_backup. Once you flash ClockworkMod recovery, you can move on to downloading and installing your favorite roms. "Install ROM from SD Card" lets you find and install ROM's that you have downloaded straight to your phone(saved somewhere on your SD Card). The "Download ROM" option lets you download and install a ROM from Huge list of available ROM's. The "Check For ROM Updates" lets you get updates for your current ROM.
The "Backup Current ROM" lets you create a backup of your current ROM, you get to name your backup which makes it easy to find when you are trying to restore. The "Manage and Restore Backups" is mainly used to restore backups. Quick tip: latest backup is always on the bottom. Also i had Force close problems with certain apps, and the "Fix Permissions" option took care of all my problems!
In conclusion, I love the ROM Manager application. It is easy to use and makes me love my phone even more. The app can be found in the market, and i highly recommend that all you rooted users check it out!
Rating: 5/5! Must Have App!

So do i need to buy ROM Manager Premium to be able to use this option?
