Is there a touch CWM available for our SGS II's? I know there's one for the international version at least. How hard would it be to get/port to our phones?
I'm not sure if a touch recovery would be practical but it would definitelybe cool

At this point there is no touch recovery available for our phone for ICS. There was at least one release of siyah kernel for gingerbread that had touch recovery included. I don't see touch recovery being added relatively soon but it is a possibility for the future. If we end up getting a port of the siyah ICS kernel it will come with touch recovery.

Maybe you know something I don't but if that has something to with ROM Manager it is NOT good to be used on our phone. There is a reason why it says to not use ROM manager in the FAQ thread. There are 2 main kernels for our phone that are for gingerbread, Entropy's DD and Siyah kernel. Only the latest Siyah kernel had touch recovery. As for ICS there is Fenny's kernel which doesn't have touch, Entropy's kernel which also doesn't have touch, and the CM9 official kernel that does not have touch. ROM manager's recovery does not work with our phone since it is part of the kernel.

Idk you may be right but its not a full kernel if you go to the site its just a little cwm flash able package and its a website its not directly from the from manager app

It looks like me and patriot are both right.. if you flash it it works and you boot into touch cwm.. but after you turn your phone on and boot back into recovery its normal cwm.. so it works but it doesent fully work lol

This. Siyah 2.6.14.
from what i've read, the Siyah does indeed some with them!
ROM manager is usually advised to stay away from, but in the latest CM builds, it works beautifully
Works

I went ahead and gave this a shot, and all seems to be working well. Right now I've tested it on both the CM9 Kernel (AOKP 4.0.4) and Entropy’s #202 (Ultimatum 2.0 Beta 3). Basically all you need to do is download this zip and boot into CWM, when you flash the zip it knows how to handle it and instantly reboots itself into the touch version. The interface is the same but I have to admit having touch instead of mashing buttons is pretty slick. I imagine the reference to the "not sticking" is because you're flashing other ROM's, which will already have a version of CWM injected (probably non-touch) and you'll have to go flash this over it.
Edit: I should note that you want to be careful doing this, because if you mess it up you no longer have a way to restore a backup or install a new zip until you start over by flashing from ODIN or the like.

So I've never flashed this device before, and I got it today but I'd like a custom ROM flashed to it.
Could someone point me to the following:
-A working ODIN link for this device
-A custom ROM (GB) that has all working features (camera, etc) and is built for the INTL 5.0 version (I've been looking at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465144)
-A guide for getting CWM recovery.
Cheers.
This thread has all the info you are looking for.

I personally have used the Eryigit rom you linked and it works fine.
Have fun.
I would stay away from Cyanogen and its variations right now if you want everything to work. CM7 has issues with wifi (and other stuff) and CM9 has no HW Acceleration -kernel issues.
Pretty much any rom based on stock is a safe bet.

Check in the custom kernel section and download the kernel according to your device.
Look in the thread cvcduty posted in the custom kernel section. The kernels have CWM packaged with them. You'll need Odin to flash them. If you search the forums you'll probably find a link for Odin... or google it
Make sure you use the rigth kernel for your specific device. The 5" and 4" are different and there are two versions of the 5". Not sure if there is more than one version of the 4" or not.

Thanks mate, that's what I wasn't sure about. If I happen to flash the wrong kernel I can overwrite it with the correct one as usual, correct? and it's Odin3 v1.3 I need, isn't it?
All sounds right to me. Even with a bad kernel you'll have download mode to fall back on.

Thanks, just flashed it and got a boot loop.
Edit: Could be because I flashed a GB kernel while still on froyo, I best revert to stock kernel and do a KIES update first
Edit2: Tried to go stock but still a boot loop -_-
This has gone, extremely well...

I just downloaded Odin 1.3 and flashed Entrophy's DD as we discussed. No issues on my device - as i anticipated because this is how I did mine initially. Which model do you have? Another question, did you try to boot into CWM after you flashed the kernel (VolUp + Power). If you can get into CWM then your good to flash whatever ROM you want, even if the Stock ROM is boot-looping.

I just installed this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1579774
It's a rooted stock GB ROM with a custom kernel. Supports both USA and International devices.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720457
Check out this thread again. It has most of the ROMs listed as "Stock Based" or "CM Based". I'm running GB.XXKPH.WT-0.4.0 for Galaxy Player 5.0 Intl & US and it seems to be a good one. Several people like Eryigit-GB-2.3.
On another note, I'm actually trying to continue ambrice's development on CM7 but can't get my build to boot.
Hey there!
So I've read a bit lately on rooting my S2 and what not (as I decided to give it a go), and after flashing CWM Touch to my S2 I loved it and found it so much easier to install ZIP's and what not. However, on boot it disappeared, then to find that it was only a temporary Flash and when I rebooted the phone, it simply reverted back to the normal CWM.
Now before asking me to use Google or search for a thread, by god I did that. And after looking for almost 2 hours, I found nothing that gave me a definite answer whether it was possible or not. And so this is why I'm creating a thread.
So is it possible to flash CWM touch on my S2 permanently (like other phones have), or do I have to stick with the volume/power button edition.
Thanks everyone! And thanks in advance.
The recovery, it's part of the kernel so which ever version of ClockworkMod the kernel shipped with that will always be there. If you really want touch recovery, you can flash Siyah Kernel and you'll be rooted and have its touch recovery.

Hmm I hoped that wasn't the case.
But isn't there a way to use ODIN3 to flash the kernel with a custom recovery, such as the CWM touch?
Sorry if that sounds stupid, I just am new to all this.
Not sure if you are allowed to bump this or not, but I just did.
Really want to know if it is possible to flash CWM touch on the kernal guys!

Thanks for the reply.
And I do have the CWM touch zip in my internalSD but there isn't and point flashing it if everytime I reboot the phone and it goes back to the stock kernel.
I just want to know if there is a method possible to flash CWM touch into the kernel, and make it permanent, or at least fine a .tar version of it so I can flash it using odin
Once again I'll bump this.
Does no one have a solution at all?

Edited. Sorry, I re-read the thread. As already stated, you'll need to flash a kernel that has the version of recovery you want. If you want a different version of recovery with a specific kernel, you'll need to start making your own kernels.

Why don't you just look at the kernels in the development section, specifically for one with touch recovery? You could have found all the available options and tried them out by now.
Or are you just being lazy?

No I'm not lazy, sorry if I came across that way. I am usually one to simply find something on my own, but for this I simply cannot.
I've looked and cannot find what I asked for in the OP, and am still looking and found nothing. So I simply asked a question to make sure that there isn't a possibility that it can be done.
Anyway it doesn't seem possible at the moment, so I guess I'll wait.
I'm not a developer but I know from previous roms I've used that there is a touch version of CWM. I'm on wanamlite ICS 12.2 which doesn't use the touch based version. I'm wondering if I can flash a CWM touch version over this existing one on a Phenomenal 5.5 Medium kernel?
No. Recovery is baked into the kernel. Any recovery you flash independently of the kernel will only persist until you reboot. Then it's gone & you're back to whatever recovery is supplied with the kernel.
If you really want touch recovery (why people get barred up over this I have no idea. I mean, how much time per week does one spend in recovery flashing/backing/up restoring...All of 20 minutes ?), use a kernel which has it.
Never knew that it was a part of the kernel, thanks!
If you want touch recovery, flash Siyah kernel.

I have flashed paranoidandroid 3.15 on my galaxy s3 a couple weeks ago, aside the occasional screen that win't turn on I haven't had any problem, but I set my mind on flashing a new kernel in order to be able to change thez governor. I tried to flash air kernel on, I did exactly what I was told: Boot into recovery, clear cache/delvik, installed kernel from sd card, and rebooted. But after the phone being rebooted, I still had the stock kernel.
My question is, why did this happen, and how do I fix it?
All help is appreciated

Well, I don't really know either of them, I don't mind stock, but I want to change things, sometimes it just isn't up for the task, or uses up battery when I would rather it didn't, without even knowing what they do, and looking around, I found the perseus kernel, I would like some opinions on the kernel, I would be very grateful if you told me if it fits me, if it's compatible with ParanoidAndroid, and finally if you have a better suggestion for a kernel.

Dear all,
The official latest CWM release for i9100 is v5.8.3.1 (see www.clockworkmod.com). Is there an official (or fully working version) of CWM 6.0.3.x for the i9100? For e.g. T-Mobile there is a release available. Can I use this as well?
for now, I can also flash Philz kernel to get CWM v6.0.3.2, but I first want to have a separate CWM version installed. Thanks for help.

I'm also trying to install/flash latest cwm without being part of any kernel / mod. Did you have any luck with that?
Philz IS stock kernel.....no tweaks, no mods......other than CWM and root.......afaik.....if you want a (cwm + root) stock phone, philz will give you that.......
My Wife says I'm a phone geek.....
I'd have to agree.....
I don't see why I should install a kernel, even stock, when only recovery partition needs changing. In most phones there are flashable files through adb, or similar ways, to install cwm. Will it work through rom manager app?
I'm not sure about just CWM on its own. It probably does exist. Just needed to jump in quick.... DO NOT use ROM manager on an i9100. Sure-fire way to screw things up /brick.
Ps. Keith is right, the only thing different about PhilZ kernel is recovery and it's rooted. Nothing else is changed.
Sent from a galaxy far, far away
And when you add the fact that it can be flashed using the stock recovery.........
It doesn't get any easier, safer or straightforward than that. No disrespect intended, but I can't see the problem with doing it this way.......
My Wife says I'm a phone geek.....
I'd have to agree.....
You really are trying to make this as difficult as possible for yourself, aren't you ?
Take the good advice you've been given; particularly the bit about staying away from Rom Manager unless you want to find out why you don't use it with the SGS2 the hard way.
Will do that... however, I'll try to make a flashable zip (with stock recovery) of latest cwm alone, and will report back... just in case someone wants it in the future.
