It’s better to delete previous backup and create a new one. 6 doesn’t have backward compatibility, as it has a different format. It can still restore from older backup I guess, but that backup will not benefit from the de-duplicate feature of 6.

Thank goodness they finally fixed this. I can now read the menu and don’t have to deal with severe overshooting with all that hassle.

Thank you very much!

Why can’t I find the upgrade in clockwork mod. Can someone tell me where to look for it ? I have never upgraded before I’ve always kept the original now I am ready

you might want to try GooManager, which is kinda like a more basic ROM Manager, but it works very nicely with TWRP (and it’s totally free)

my personal favorite features are: *many* fewer bugs than most ROMs out there (i would never call anything bugless, but it’s about as close as you can get) , smooth, good battery life, stock experience, no bloat/cruft

Excellent. That explains it perfectly and makes a hell of a lot more sense than the wasteful way it was done in the past.

Thank you very much for posting this. The quotes from that post should be added to this article (or at least linked). It’s a *huge* change over how things used to be done.

i just switched to GooManager and TWRP, and am really happy for now (TWRP is a really great recovery), but I’m always willing to switch to the next great thing

ROM Manager has pretty much been useless since I got my Gnex. It doesn’t have a lot of the most popular ROMs like Liquidsmooth and half of them don’t update very quickly (or at all). And they want me to pay for the Touch Recovery? I already paid for the app! I hope they add more ROMs soon because so far it’s been wasted money.

The one you can install straight from Rom Manager is not touch. It gives you the option to pay/donate to get it though.
However, if you go to his website you can download the touch version for free and use adb to push it to your phone.

Why so good? I’m still on JellyBelly. Can you give a few of yourfav features?

I’ve always had better luck queuing up zips in ROM Manager (have to enable “advanced” mode). Doing it in TWRP, if you hit the wrong file halfway through…you gotta redo the entire queue. Hate that…

…maybe my fingers are just too big.
