Yeah, android is an open platform, meaning anyone can take the system and put out their own device with the android OS on it. (Speaking in very loose terms).
Which basically means there are blueprints (sources) to build all the individual android components. Recovery Environment (Recover Kernel + Recovery Executable?) being one of them.
For people into this sort of stuff, it is fun/interesting to actually go, use the blueprints, and build your "own version" of all the various components. Why? Because it's fun just to see if you can.
Arayray has already built a ROM, so why not a recovery to go with it? Next maybe a kernel? Etc. Heck, one could even build a bootloader (Hboot) if they wanted, although that might be difficult as it could be rather hardware specific (and require proprietary info).
Tis the nature of android, all the tools are available, and are open for you to play with. It's also a great/fun way to learn. It's the 21st century version of building models, or RC Airplane kits, etc. Putting something together yourself, and watching it work. Can be very satisfying.

Don't think that's possible .......you have to do it via hboot on this phone

Im sure its possible, I know you can use commands in ADB like: adb shell reboot bootloader to reboot into fastboot, adb shell reboot recovery to reboot into recovery, youd just need to make the button to do the equivalent in android. (Since theirs no adb in terminal)

I have nothing to contribute...
Other than I like the troll picture.

I dont have a PS3, I had an XBOX tho.
I was the 1st one and only Xologist ever created/out there.
If you saw someone with that name is a copycat (no lie), ask them if they know xologist, 99% chance is they know me
then tell them i say hi, and that the person is a copycat! lol

Does the wipe all option wipe everything, including /system? Or is it the equivalent to the factory reset wipe option in CWrecovery?

---

You can partition from psfServiceMod recovery (it's a ps3 jailbreak recovery based on clockwork) so I'm sure arayray just needs to find the code that's used (there's bound to be info on it on the net somewhere) and implement it.

It wipes /data and /cache, no recovery wipe /system until you flash a .zip. So use "Wipe all" and then flash a rom, or choose individually which to wipe.

Hey i have a question. One of the best features i loved about Amon RA recovery was when you turned on your phone you could auto boot into recovery by holding down home key. Is that going to be a feature enabled in this recovery?
Sorry guys didn't realize post was on 1st page..
