Currently running Revolutionary and it seems to be slightly out dated... Would you guys still recommend staying with Revolutionary, or switching to TWRP or 4EXT?
Also, what is a safe way going about uninstalling the recovery and replacing it with, lets say, 4EXT?

4ext hands down. When you install 4ext it replaces the original recovery. No need to uninstall anything.

4EXT is the way to go. I haven't used TWRP, but 4EXT does everything I need it to do and does it well. I've never had a single issue installing ROMs, backing up, restoring, formatting, never had to wipe multiple times before installing anything. Everything just works.
Just flashed 4EXT via the App. Worked beautifully and everything seems to be fine. Finally away from Revolutionary although it seems to be fairly similar in functionality, just no touch.

I wish I could get 4ext without touch.
I'm afraid that if I have it in my pocket that it could somehow get into recovery and press random crap.
I'm more of the traditional recovery user, so I like having the use the volume and power buttons.
Do they have a version that isn't touch?

I think your more likely to send a text message to your local police station, informing them that you plan to blow up the white house. I wouldn't worry about it.

But would that be any better than clockwork mod recovery?
It wouldn't be hard for it to get into 4ext.
All it would have to do is light up (especially easy if I have volume wake enabled) and pull up the apps. Then if it decided to hit 4ext app, anything could go bad there.
That's just why I don't like touch. =/

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

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.

Won't boot, as in it won't power on or boot into the ROM (stock GB for me). It's the same thing that happens w/ the CWM battery issue, except my batter was not dead. How do people fix the CWM issue when their phones won't power on? The only answer I'm seeing is, "Just don't let it happen," but nothing about how to fix it once it does happen.

The phone isn't actually off. The Rezound appears to startup in a "stealth" recovery state. At least while using CWM. I'll probably test the other recoveries as well.

It loads the recovery in a certain mode that doesn't activate the screen/buttons. Cwm doesnt have this working for us. If you would like more insight, flash your roms boot image to the recovery partition and turn it off. Then plug the phone in, wait a few minutes and call it. It will ring but the phone will be non responsive to input and will get killed when you pull the cord.
Protip: don't actually do this but it does work
Hey all,
I was wondering your opinions on which recovery is ... "better." I know that's a relative word, but I'm asking for your opinions
I'm on a Rooted Thunderbolt, running ICS Liquidsmooth v1.5 MR3 -- JMOD, and currently using CWM 5.0.2.1.
I'm possibly deciding between CWM Touch (which I have not yet tried), and 4ext (also Touch). Never tried 4ext.
Thanks!

I stuck with CWM. Only reason being that I don't like touch recovery and prefer to use the phones buttons.
So in my opinion, if you want touch, go with 4ext. It's much better and more up to date, I think.

Thank you. I'll try them out, see if I like Touch.
4ext fwiw. I prefer not abusing my volume rocker and power button from using recovery. Plus I hear people have less issues with 4ext than using cwm since 4ext is more up to date.

Yeah I have had corrupted backups a lot with the CWM and with the bolt having issues with sinking power buttons and some people volume rockers wearing out. I like the touch versions it makes navigating really quick. So for me ext4 is all I use now.
