Clockworkmod 5.0.2.x

Hi so anyway my name is Randy and I mod android OS phones.
So today I'll be talking about one of the most crucial tools that most android (if not all) have
And best of all, it doesn't require rooting (for the scared people who dare not root)
Although if you use it it's probably to install some root.zip

So anyways, clockworkmod is a boothack that allows you to change the NAND of your phone (the /system partition)
And it's damn useful because it's fast, it's simple (relatively), it does quite a lot of things
so what are the things you can do with it anyways

Well........
install zips (whatever the developer gives you, like Overclocking, Overvolt, custom kernels/ROMs etc)
backup/restore your /system, and your /data
factory reset (note: this isn't actually like a reset to however you got your phone, it just wipes the /data partition)
partition sd-ext (ext2,3,4) honestly i don't know what this does because a) I've only two android phones, the X8 and the Galaxy Mini II, both of which doesn't have any kernel that actually utilises it well. Actually the X8 does, but you need to unlock the bootloader (more on that in some other post next time) and I don't have two jump-pins.
wipe dalvik-cache

we shall see how this is used in the next post!
Which shall be rooting, which you usually (except for pre-rooted AOSP phones) need to do if you want to do anything useful with your phone other than texting your girlfriend and playing temple run 2.
