Which recovery do you guys like best? I'm from the HTC Droid Eris/ Rezound line so I'm used to Amon Ra. Loved it. A lot of wipe options. Now on the DNA I'm using Clockwork. It's alright, just seems limited. What about you guys?
Clockwork. Only because TWRP has issues with Aroma

Twrp clockwork is ancient and slow.

Cwm doesn't wipe properly. Twrp definitely has way more options. People using cwm(typically) have difficulty flashing sense roms when coming from Aosp because it doesn't wipe the data partition enough. Definitely get twrp.

TWRP is a lot faster at making/restoring backups. I tend to avoid Aroma roms/kernels, but the ones I have tried (Viper and Beastmode) both worked fine with TWRP. I also prefer the interface.

AmonRa is basically a fork from and old version of CWM.

I use cwm touch, and found out today that yes it still has charging issues. When I used amon ra I thought I had problems with it, but looking back I don't think that was the issue.
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 want to dual boot on my rezound. However, what Im unsure about is if it is possible to do if the two roms require different kernels. For example if I ran a Gb rom which needs a gb kernel, and then tried to dual boot with a ics rom that needs a ics kernel. Is this possible?
I too am wondering this. I was gonna make a nand of a GB Rom and one of an ICS Rom and switch between them
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
I think it can be done. I am actually working on it now.
At first I was like "Uh..why would you want to do that?" but then thinking of how many times I have reinstalled BAMF (4) and tried new ROMS on top of that (4)....
That's a nice idea. I don't see it happening. But a nice idea all the same.

I am sure it can be done... Just won't be easy
Would the nand idea work since the amon recovery allows you to backup the kernel as well? Just as long as you wipe data when switching between the nands?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
The reason I wanted to do it was because I wanted to be able to toy with the sense 4 roms that are unstable, without having to wipe data install the rom then have to switch back and redo my whole setup since they aren't stable. If we had dual booting the wiping data and resetting can be avoided and I can continue to check the sense 4 roms with ease.

No that's not true. It installs a completely separate rom in a partion on your sdcard and you can boot between them. Has nothing to do with profiles.

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.

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.
