[Q] 4ext touch or cwm touch?

hello everybody I'm currently using clockwork mod touch but I keep hearing loads of people talking about 4ext and was wondering what is better in terms of backing up and restoring?

Earlier used ROM Manager - Now I use 4EXT (classic version, now touch) 5 months - think 4EXT's more rapidly growing (often updated & themed))) - no problems when using it

cheers oleg I'm gonna give 4ext ago coz it does sound alot better especially because of the theme capabilities and I did read somewhere that it has a md5 checker which sounds neat also

Checking "where" may be choosen -inApp -inRecoveryMode
very comfortable using
batch flashing
for ex - in one step (no touching the screen in Recovery Mode ))))
save backup of the current rom
wipe (if flash an other custom ROM) or not wipe (if update current by newer ROM)
flash ROM (checking MD5)
flash titanium backup
flash Gaps (for example)
autoreboot or stay in recovery
etc.

its definitely got more options and seems to be abit quicker at backing up but haven't tried the restore yet so can't comment on that but I do like it better than cwm because of all the extra options and us now my recovery and can't wait for the update already so I can test some themes out

yeah agreed. I switch to cwm touch yesterday and not really liking it. I think it's a bit quicker than 4ext touch (probably due to lack of animations) but the scrolling is horrible and there's not many options. I also like all the small features of 4ext like telling you how long the backup took.

4ext why?- 3ext convert in 4ext (cash and system)

4ext ofcourse, it has so many options ,,most importantly changing the file system without losing any data,, in addition to themes and stuff, not that u need them but its there

I used to use CWM, then I updated to another ROM and it magically changed to 4EXT touch lol... Not sure how, but I like 4EXT a lot more. For me it's nicer to look at then CWM.

4ext has more advanced features than cwm secondly it is much faster and more reliable thirdly ext3 can be easily changed to ext4 format, which I can't find in cwm

4ext is the one. User friendly, with the right options. What more can you ask for?

Suggestions for "Error mounting /sdcard"?
Rooted my TF101 and have the rogue/cwm recovery installed. I tried a Nandroid backup, but it anything to do with the SD card gives the above error.
I have a microSD in the tablet, too.

}
you can go into recovery mode by pressig ( volume up + power button)
To move between the options of the recovery, use the volume up/down buttons to navigate, and power button to select any option.
TO FLASH A ROM/MOD THROUGH RECOVERY:
go to install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard> click on the rom of mod you want to flash/install.(remember to clear data,cache,dalvic-- read it below)
TO MAKE A BACKUP AND RESTORE:
The major feature of recovery is to backup your rom, so that if something unusual happens to your device(softbrick), you can go to recovery, and mend it.
Go to backup and restore, click on backup, to create a backup and click on restore to restore the backup image. Backup file takes about 500 mb of space(it varies with devices).
Make sure that your device is 30% charged, before carrying out these operations, as the process may take time.
before flashing a rom, do these wipes
1. wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache partition
3. advanced > wipe dalvic cache
If you dont do these, you me end up in a bootloop. in other words, your device will not start.
after completion, click on reboot system now.
at last, as you read in every post, i am not responsible for any bricked device.

Great guide

Overview
This is a fake flash flashable zip version of OUDHS Recovery version 1.0.3.6 for the Motorola Droid (This is not compatible with the Motorola Milestone). I compiled this more as a proof of concept just to see if I could get the latest version (At the time I compiled it) of OUDHS touch recovery to work on the Motorola Droid.

Note: This is a fakeflash recovery zip meaning once you flash it in your current custom recovery you will be taken to OUDHS Recovery but when you reboot your device it will revert to your regular custom recovery you have installed (A permanent flashable image can't be made because when you compile the latest version of OUDHS Recovery it compiles the image file in EXT4 where the Motorola Droid uses YAFFS2).

It is based on CWM and is perfectly compatible with it. The big difference from version 1.5 is the full touch module. In this version I used Napstar-xda's full touch module as base. The navigation it is posible by touching the menu item. In long display menu (as choose zip from sdcard) for scroll page down Swipe Right and for scroll page up Swipe Left. For Go Back also Swipe Left. The Go Back menu item is disabled because of the semibutton that announce there is more to see if Scroll Down -
Go Back function is possible with Swipe Left, as I said. If the Swipe doesn't work (usually if your phone is multitouch bat has only 2 points of touch), use volume buttons Down for Scroll down, Up for Scroll up, and the back capacitive button of the phone for Go Back.
A big change is the integration of compressed backups, tar gzip, ported from CWM cm-11.0 branch. Apart from that, it is based on my non-touch modified CWM recovery, with some changes and small improvements.

Changelog by Master Carliv​
Version 2.5 update (29.06.2014):
- cleaned up the source code
- removed "wipe all" option from wipe menu (too many users wiped their system and blamed me); if you need to wipe system, use "format system" from "mounts/storage"
- rearanged menu order in root menu to restore CWM order
- added a "nvram backup/restore" menu in "carliv" section: the nvram partition will be backed up in clockworkmod/backup folder as nvram.img. This will help if you lose IMEI and other communication features. It will work only if you have the nvram partition of size 0x500000 (check your scatter) and if you have the nvram defined as /dev/nvram path in recovery.fstab. If the nvram partition is damaged (as in flashing an oversized recovery) this will not help you, and you need SPFlashTools to reflash with format your phone official firmware, and after that flash this recovery, boot in recovery and restore nvram.
- some other small changes.
