I used cwm,cwm touch,philz touch, twrp touch.
Now on twrp.
I just want to try all of them.
For me I think twrp is best.

I wanted to ask the question in villain roms thread but was not able to.
Anyway I have just installed the 2.4.2 rom and noticed that the cwm app which I had before is no longer there.
Is this normal?
I was using another custom rom, then used the cwm app to boot into recovery, wiped partition, cache etc before installing the villain rom.
I can still access the cwm by holding vol up, home and power, but liked being able to boot into recovery from within the phone.
I want to know if I can get the app back, and if it's normal for the villain rom to have removed it.
Thanks

Just one more question on this link with the cwm apk http://forum.xda-developers.com/misc.php?do=showattachments&t=1198334
There are two, cwm 2.00 and cwmmanager which one do I use?
No problem
Currently not using Villain, but 99.99% sure I used the cwm 2.00 apk.
Edit 100% sure now - the first link in post #813 on said thread was what I used, that's the cwm 2.00 apk.
Hi,
I didn't want to open a new thread for this,
so I'm using this thread...
Is it possible to install CWM application by taking the CMWManager.apk from a system already having it (different system having a kernel with CWM) and copying it to the system/app folder ...?
I mean, if I install a kernel with CWM (like CF-Root), copy the CWMManager.apk to my SD card, and then copy it back to any other ROM I install in the future, with any kernel, will I have the CWM app in my new system?
Will it work...?

Yes as long as you have a version of ClockworkMod recovery that is supported by the app, aka almost every sgs2 kernel apart from the CM/aosp kernels which use rom manager.

I can confirm this, I have the cwm app running on three devices, all running different software. But because I have clockwork recovery on all 3 devices, the app works fine.
And it does still work with my sgs2 running CM7.
EDIT: Its the tweakmanager app that is dependant on cf-root I think.

Interesting, i didn't think it would work so well, it's mainly that we can't use rom manager on kernels with CWM based of chainfires version of it, rather than a "stock" cwm version

I might be wrong, but I think that might be because rom manager uses a 'fake flash'.
Currently rom manager sees the backups I've made using the cwm app, and vice versa.

Nope, you need scripting to flash a whole rom, and that's what makes a zip flushable, the bloody annoying and overly complex edifying scripting.
The tar is just a zimage inside a file!

If your Optimus has a new screen (purchased the phone in or after August 2011) you need to use Xionia CWMA v1.2518.6 recovery.
I Tried Rom Manager but the Screen goes All Black, No Recovery!!!

Xionia Clockwork (CWMA v1.2518.6)
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable about this will chime-in, but it seems if you use Xionia recovery, you have to use a ROM with a Xiona kernel.
Using a ClockworkMod or ClockworkMod-based recovery is highly recommended. The semi-official IHO Recovery for the VM670 is currently at version 4.0.1.4.3. The aospCMod 3.0.2.8 and stock CWM 3.2.0.1 recoveries appear to work properly for most people as well. Those with newer (purchased in or after August 2011) or refurbished phones should use Xionia CWMA 1.2518.6 to avoid a potential black screen. Xionia recoveries sometimes create problems so it is only recommended if you will be flashing a build with Xionia kernel built in.

Hopefully this makes things easier for you, when you download the Xionia recovery flash it using this.

Here's a little tip about rom manager and flashing a recovery through it that many fail to realize until it's too late, lucky for me I got a heads up a while back when I was on the T989, once you flash a recovery via rom manager, you can only boot into that recovery using rom manager, therefore your phone has to boot to be able to use recovery, now, let's say you end up in a bootloop, how are YOU gonna get into recovery to fix your phone? Think about that, we don't have a CWM recovery.img at the moment for you to flash manually if you prefer CWM, but by all means, do as you please, we all have personal preferences and for someone that isn't s-off and isn't too comfortable with the ways of adb, etc as yet, I'd advise the simplest things for now.
Before 4ext was posted and I was on my g2 I used cwm(like everyone else). you were able to boot into recovery same as 4ext. Some had issues but I never did. Is something on this device preventing it from functioning like it did in g2?

Reply:
CWM is a recovery. PhilZ is a recovery that's based on CWM. So it's capable of pretty much everything CWM is, and more. Hence your backups should be restored without any trouble, as long as the CWM version PhilZ is based on can do it. You have one /recovery partition. You either install CWM or PhilZ or TWRP or whatevertheeff else (this is in response to "Do I still need CWM?").

Similar to concept used by user mankotialovely in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2220717
I have compiled a Cwm recovery.
This is for users having LOCKED BOOTLOADERS. When we install a custom from recovery‚ our recovery is wiped
and we have to install it again. Moreover if we get a boot loop
after installing custom rom then we have to flash official rom
again‚ root and install recovery again. To overcome these problems
I have made cwm recovery as a flashable zip. So after installing a custom
rom‚ don't reboot and flash this zip. So we have a recovery after rebooting.
Even if we get bootloop‚ we can restore phone using nandroid
backup.
So basically this is a cwm recovery which can be flashed from
Cwm itself.
Thanks to user mankotialovely

It definitely can give compatibility problems as the file are yet to be set up and boom you already flashed something new

If rom already has one then no need of it dude. I reapeat it is for custom roms in LOCKED BOOTLOADERS that don't have built in recoveries.
