Ok so i just ordered my new HTC EVO 3D off ebay since my EVO is officially done, so my question is, after looking through the DEV section ive seen a lot of information on TWRP recovery and im wondering are there other options like with the EVO.
For instance the EVO had TWRP, Amon RA, CWM, ect..
The reason i ask is because ive had a pretty bad experience with TWRP so im reluctant to use it with this phone when i get it.
I used clockwork before I got twrp 2.0

I made a handful of code commits to TWRP at the beginning of the project.. The project was started as Amon RA announce he was "retiring" essentially from updating his recovery to work with EMMC devices.
The EVO 4G was an MTD device so Amon's recovery worked well. The EVO 3D is an EMMC device so Amon's recovery would not work.
Personally, I've had good success with CWM as it is consistent across devices and I haven't had issues with it across the handful of Android devices I've had.
Ultimately, the decision is up to you. I only use the basic features in the recovery, adb shell access from recovery mode, nandroid backup/restore and ability to process a .zip. These three basic features I use are essentially the same or at minimum very similar across the different recoveries.
Different custom recovery's will offer different features, different support and different UI/themes.
Hope that helps! Good luck!
I use clock work mod. Alot of others use Twrp but I rooted my phone with the old revolution method and I have never had any problems with cwm.
I can't get clockwork to stick for some reason. Haven't figured it out yet but twrp is awesome.
I haven't compressed the backups but it's a nice feature that saves space. And I read that 2.0 is crazy fast at backing up and restoring. Took me 1592 seconds to restore the recovery partition tonight. Long ass time.

If you want CWM to stick for good, install it from Rom Manager. I have never personally used TWRP and hear it's amazing but I doubt I'll ever switch after using CWM for years and have no reason to. /endrant

I tried twrp 2.0 didn't like it, it would quit in the middle of a wiping process and I would have to reboot into recovery again but it does have a touchscreen interface so some might find that useful. I used CWM like somebody else in this thread said it wouldn't stick I had the same problem. My favorite is twrp 1.1.1 never had any problems at all and the best part is you can flash multiple zips all at once. Oh! one more thing. I found out when using CWM wiping davlik cache would sometimes not work.
Twrp is my vote non touch version

Personally, (and I've been through this over and over, and I know that Clockworkmod is like, my freaking "button", but here I go for hopefully the last time) :
CWM has just caused problems for me (maybe not you) on EVERY SINGLE ANDROID DEVICE that I've owned.
The constant updates, (lol, 'working now'), the inherent problems restoring Nandroids from all those versions ('new update, today!'), combined with the fact that AmonRa was always worry-free for me on my OGEvo, just EXACTLY like TWRP has been for me on the 3D. I've been through all these issues w/ Koushik
and he admitted that the issues I experienced with my EVO4G were real problems, and were only recently corrected. The 'every freaking minute' connections to paypal, verifying the "pro" version purchase of Rom Manager got old quick as well.
Once again, or TL;DR:
AmonRa was always ABSOLUTELY worry-free for me, just EXACTLY like TWRP has been for me on the 3D.
*That's reason enough, for me.
(I won't comment about this anymore, I promise...)

CWM is going the way of WebOS. Yes, that makes me happy. There are far superior alternate recoveries out there. CWM has lived its life in the spotlight but the likes of TWRP and others are slamming CWM to the ground release after release, update after update. Just throwing this out there.

hrm.
I use recovery to factory reset, wipe cache, and flash roms. I'd wager that's what 95% of people use them for. What is there left to be done in recovery development that can slam another recovery to the ground, when it does the 3 things everyone uses it for?
Aside from the dead battery charging issue in CWM, the only thing I see in Amon that's handy is rebooting back to bootloader.
I'm sure I must be missing something - something I don't need, but is apparently monumental?

I saw in NilsP's rom thread that people have been working on clockwork mod recovery to see and get it working. I read that with a file copy and an advanced setting you can get backups to work. The main problem being the infamous charging bug.
Here is what is posted in that thread.
punman said:
I wasn't aware of this but when you plug the phone in, it boots what looks like a mini-recovery kernel. I suspect something with this isn't supporting the battery charge. I am going to flash back to Amon Ra and see what the differences are.
Just select "backup to external SD card" in ROM Manager Settings. You might have to enable "advanced settings" to get the option.

NilsP said:
OK here is where I am as memories come back.
If you select backup to external and set progress off it does not actually turn off progress unless you copy the hideprogress file from internal to external. The bad part is the backup hangs if you don't copy the file.
When you select install ROM from SD Card it shows what is on the internal card to select not the external.
I have not tried a restore yet but I remember if you do it from RM it deletes the boot (kernel) but can't restore it due to s-on. Gonna test that in a minute.
EDIT: Backup and restore worked fine after copying the hideprogress file
EDIT: Just had to select internal from the menu when selecting install ROM from SD Card in RM

Yep. I recovered my original GB after using an early CleanROM ICSE ROM. I think I used Scott's CleanFlash tool to flash back the correct kernel for GB.
All my recoveries have backed up flawlessly since, but I am currently only running stock rooted. Haven't tried recovering any ICS backups.

And since I bought ROM Manager while using my DInc I'd prefer to use CWM. It's a reasonable, personal choice and I've never let my batteries fully discharge, so never had charging issues.
And I don't avoid full discharge because I use CWM, I avoid full discharge because it's actually bad for the batteries.

I think I mentioned earlier that I had no issues charging. But I am also not saying that Amon Ra is bad. Just that I have a preference and that I know how to handle/avoid the pitfalls.
Interestingly, there were many in the DInc threads who didn't like CWM or ROM Manager, but no one there made snarky comments about personal choice... (not talking about you, snowride)
I think any CWM thread will just devolve like a Sense thread will. At least in the Rezound forums.

TWRP isnt a bad recovery, I ve had no issues with it, But as you said, SmelkusMod has so many cool features and is extremely reliable. Only thing is, Smelkus is pretty picky about which device he developes for. As far as the original dev for AmonRa (damnit I always forget that dudes name,No disrespect intended) opefully he might be coming up with something for us. As I said, I dont have any issues with TWRP its just Im more accustomed to AmonRa and its nice to have alternatives.

TWRP isnt a bad recovery, I ve had no issues with it, But as you said, SmelkusMod has so many cool features and is extremely reliable. Only thing is, Smelkus is pretty picky about which device he developes for. As far as the original dev for AmonRa (damnit I always forget that dudes name,No disrespect intended) hopefully he might be coming up with something for us. As I said, I dont have any issues with TWRP its just Im more accustomed to AmonRa and its nice to have alternatives.

Lol, his name is AmonRa
Trying to remember what was so great about AmonRa. From what I remember it was just a prettier CWM. Somehow I must've missed these other variations of it but from my memory it was pretty basic when compared to TWRP. Maybe I didn't stick around with the OG EVO long enough. Hopped ship soon as 3D was released then left that for E4GT.

Yeah, same here why was AmonRa so awesome? I remember everyone said that, but I had nothing to compare it to. TWRP seems way more advanced to me in terms of being "pretty", plus the touch interface with the sliding to confirm is awesome. What are these awesome features of AmonRa?

Ra just worked. CWM was buggy as hell on the OG.
I've had to reinstall TWRP a few times already on this device because it would just reboot itself when trying to restore a nandroid or flash a ROM

Interesting. I've had no issues with TWRP through a lot of flashing and restoring.
But yeah, working is a nice feature, haha. I can see why people liked that about AmonRa.

If you ever used the latest version of AmonRA you would see why we want it for this phone, it looked great has just as many features as TWRP and never fails... Ahhh damn it nostalgia is a b**ch lol

Smelkus has combo wipes built into it like superwipe and dalvik cache & cache wipes.
The ability to auto reboot after a nandroid backup/restore is nice too
The original twrp (before touch interface) was based off armon and almost exactly the same.

True, But a dude name Smelkus(Smelkus Mod) Took the AmonRa to a whole other level. SmelkusMod 4.3 was an awesome piece. And for those who stated That AmonRa JUST WORKED. +1 that was exactly it It just works, no issues on bugs no fussin around with ****. it just works.
Just got on rootswiki and left Smelkus a message asking if he might consider deving a recovery for our device,,,Keep your fingers crossed...
