Recovery is a bootable partition of Android operating system and where lot of repairing tools available. We can compare recovery with BIOS in computer. ClockworkMod recovery is an alternative recovery for stock Android. It can give lot of options rather than stock Android recovery. 

Installation of CWM (ClockworkMod) recovery using other tools (e.g) ADB and Fast Boot tool) seems difficulty for new kids in Android arena. CWM allows backup and restore of stock ROM. Using CWM user can update/replace stock Android and install other custom ROM like Cyanogenmod.

Permission problems with Cyanogenmod default file manager

Cyanogenmod new users have reported that file manager shows following message whenever they try  to copy or move files to another location;

"This operation requires elevated permissions. Try changing to Root Access Mode"

Solution is that install another file manager. ES File Explorer File Manager is a good application to use instead of default file manager with Cyanogenmod.

In my experience ES File manager is very smooth. An inbuilt media player is available and users can play media files without leaving the file manager.
