What is the best recovery? I know most rooms use revolutionary but what are the peeks of the other ones and why not stick with clock work? I tried figuring it out but don't know.

devs are using more 4ext cause it gives you options to install engines and what not
4EXT has a great UI and is really easy to use.

I've been a clockwork fan for a while, but it took all of 12 seconds to make me happy that I switched to 4EXT. It's REALLY easy to use.
It also shows battery % and the time in recovery. If something is taking a while that can be really handy to know that your battery is running down before you start a flash process. It's no fun is the battery dies in the middle.

What are engines? And what is this 4ext touch thing I hear about? Can you use the touch screen in the recovery? That would be great.
Btw thanks to everyone who replied. I was considering switching but wasn't sure if I should.

I think engines as in the Sony Bravia one? So basically Devs can give you the option while flashing, to select many options and add-ons, for example I just flashed InsertCoin 4.4.1 and halfway through it asked if I wanted to have a 1.5ghz overclock or add BeatsAudio. And Yes, it is touch screen making it a lot easier, as you can imagine!

Thank you to everyone, you guys helped alot. I was skeptical at first but Im gonna give 4ext a try.
4EXT is the best, I use the 4EXT Touch!
4EXT is compatible with clockworkmod, btw. You can restore any backups using 4EXT that were made with clockworkmod, and roms that work with clockworkmod will work with 4EXT. 4EXT is actually based upon the clockworkmod code base.

Do no use the power button to select anything. Use the track pad, like you'd be selecting something in the phone, while it's up and running.
Try using ext4 recovery.

Please guys, this isn't about CWR or Ext4. This is a different issue..... The [OP] is pressing the power button to select his options. Where the track pad is needed.
Off topic but why use ext4 over CWM?

ext4 gives more options and more info about your phone, but overall, they're pretty much the same...
oh yeah, and ext4 can support themes as well...
In cwm, use trackpad to select things. I think you're using the power button.

I was using the power button
Well that was kinda noobish
I didn't know you had u use the track pad...while we are at it, whats ext4? like how is it different from clockwork?
Another ?
Majorly off topic here but, what would u guys suggest for a ROM...DARKSIDE?

4ext gives more options, and shows more info in recovery, like what rom you're running, and battery %
also, it supports themes which is nice
on a side note: i would recommend RCMix3D. it's GOOD
Iam using cwm recovery and i read that someone want to change from cwm to 4ext .what is the differnce between both of them ? does 4ext better than cwm ?
NO difference both do the same thing I think that 4ext has more updates and looks more user friendly but you can just change the theme
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA
4ext was originally based on cwm source code but has since been heavily amended and greatly improved, it was first to have touch only recovery and in my opinion is better, for this device in gets updated more often
Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium
Yeah I'm a big fan of 4ext touch. Previously used cwm. If recovery is something you hardly use I wouldn't recommend the upgrade, but obviously if you use recovery a lot I'd recommend the switch
Sent from my Desire Saga using xda premium
Think of 4EXT as an upgrade of CWM with more (new) features. And now has support for touch. All those asides the fact that it gets regular (read as "frequent") updates. I used to be a CWM loyalist but I really don't remember when the lines of loyalty got eroded *grins*.
yes am using recovery alot so how do i upgrade to 4ext what is the best wat to do it or any guide ?

Anybody know any good tweaks or mods for toolkits that I can add? Give me suggestions and links would be awesome!
So far I was told to add:
- Beats Audio Hack
Anything else you guys find or know of, I'll add to my list!
I say give a try at dolby sound its quite better then beats every rom has it and its just adding too much bass when not needed ..
Dolby offers more clear and louder sound

You can also add the 4EXT Recovery. And you could add te ability to flash kernels with the toolkit.

Oh sorry I had not noticed that may bad. But I do have another idea. Just out of curiosity are you referring to the boot into recovery option. Cause I was thinking more along the lines of flashing kernels, splash screens, and boot animations via fastboot but with a one click style.

I can add commands to flash splash screen and boot animations. It's possible. I want mods / tweaks like debloaters, improve speed, hack to make the device have a new feature. Whatever the case may be lol.

Does the rom boot? If so just use the 4ext app to flash a new theme. That should overwrite whatever is corrupted. If that doesn't work reflash the recovery entirely. You can do that from the app too.
If that doesnt work comeback with a more detailed description of exactly what you get.
