Having trouble installing roms and themes through rom manager

I'm trying to load a theme and or rom from inside of rom manager, the preloaded ones that you can download inside the app. I download and it asks me to backup, I do and then it boots into clockwork mod. After it does the lengthy backup process it says it installs the rom or theme and then I get back to clockwork again and I reboot. From there I'm stuck on the M logo. Battery pull and restore back to where I started. What steps am I missing here? That M logo screen is scary for as long as it stays up there......

I'd say don't use rom manager to install roms/themes, use clockworkmod instead with the bootstrapper. Rom Manager isn't very reliable with the DX

Can I still dl themes and roms through the phone itself? Or do I have to plug in and go through the computer.

yeah, you can download the roms and themes through rom manager, just apply the update.zip by booting into clockworkmod recovery manually

rom manager isn't reliable on any droid. lol.
