Just flashed cwm touch for T-Mobile. Looks pretty nice. Its available in from rom manager or if you dont wanna pay for it do this
Download the recovery image from here http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager (tmobile Galaxy S2)
Rename it to recovery.img and place it on your sdcard(internal) so it should be at /sdcard/recovery.img
plug phone into computer and get into adb shell from terminal (must have adb working)
then type this: dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
IF you dont have adb working on your computer you can download terminal emulator from android market and do it from your phone. Same instructions as above.
place recovery.img on sdcard(/sdcard/recovery.img)
open terminal emulator and type: su (allow superuser access if it ask you)
then type: dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
make sure usb debugging is checked also.
Credit for these instructions belongs to Da_G

I wonder if its clearing cache and stuff alot better. I'm not being able to get it to stick, im flashing through ROM Manager but it still reboots into the normal CWM.
Are you flashing at the top of ROM manager our at the bottom where it says flash touch recovery?

Good point. Gotta scroll down to "flash touch recovery". All seems OK here although I haven't flashed anything .only backup and fix permissions

still not fixing permissions lol probably still not clearing cache as it should

At the top. I dont see a button that says that at the bottom. I'm using the ROM Manager preinstalled with Sky ICS. Maybe thats why?
SO you have to pay for this to flash it from Rom Manager?? when i click it says you its free for manual installation and if wanted to flash from app you have to buy it..

Same here. I think it's worth it. Fixing permission didn't work for me either but not a deal breaker. Gladly paid the 2 bucks.
I'm loving the touch recovery, my download folder gets lost about twenty folders or more below the top folder, and it takes a decade to volume rocker down to select it. Lol, this is a huge improvement. Now if we can get a red themed version for our skyrocket....

There are directions on how to reboot into CWM Recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106608 so you don't need an app to do it. In time there will be ROM's that incorporate it but CWM Recovery is also still a work in progress to get all features on par with other devices.
If you have flashed jt's cwm, you can use quickboot from the market. Works great for me.

You can try my rom.... catyrom or any of the i9000 ports...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
I currently have tried refuse 1.7, caty 1.0 & 1.5; currently running caty 1.5. I would recommend caty rom, the only thing I notice is the data sometimes cuts out and I have to restart my phone, also it shows the rom as "caty v2.0" in the "about" section of the phone, but the post says 1.5 so I am not sure what it is. But it's very simple to install and to run. Just make sure you follow directions to a T. When it says to let it reboot and sit for ten minutes actually do it. DONT FORGET TO HAVE A BACKUP IN CWM. Make sure it's rooted, I tried to root mine with Superoneclick and it didn't root properly, I had to use the odin with 3e recovery and root preset, then I was able to install roms. Good luck to you.
Yea...sorry...need to fix build prop...lol...keep forgetting to do that...and the service cutting out may just be the modem...

Are you using ROM Manager? if so, that is probably why you can't get it to work. just 3 button into recovery mode, go to backup and restore, and click backup. It should take a little while to work, and you can watch it go through all of the files as it backs them up.

Do not use rom manager!! When you transfer ron from computer make sure you send it to your 14 gb SD card and it will show up...do not flash anything or download any roms thru rom manager!

It is also helpful to create a folder on the SD card named "1 rom" so you can keep all your downloaded roms in one place and then you also don't have to scroll far with the volume keys since the folder will be at the top of the list all the time

Ok, so I doctored up the existing tar from the i577 to make it smaller and more compatiable. My goal is to get users to ICS easily and with as little issues as possible like the soft key bork. So, I created a 1-Click.
Whats included:
Stock i577 ICS boot.img and system.img.ext4
Instruction:
Download Blaze_Ics.zip to your desktop
Extract zip and start the exe
Plug phone into PC and reboot to download mode
Once the 1-click recognizes your device, click the start button and wait.
Enjoy!
Don't forget to hit the thanks and/or donate!
Thanks to vivd and the rest of the guys that discovered this!
Download v1 here:
http://www.codedgraphx.info/tka/blaze/Blaze_ICS.zip
If you have issues like the soft key bork, then reflash with my 1-click Qucik Recover and then flash Blaze_ICS starter 1-click.
If you have issues with the soft keys, then perform the dialer trick to update TouchKey Firware update.

Do not flash any kernels yet. The current ones out are GB based. Our great devs will have an ICS kernel soon. You need to flash superuser http://dl.dropbox.com/u/109143594/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip after you boot ICS first. This will give you root.

Idk what happened here, did you maybe change the pixel density of your rom? I've never encountered an app glitch like this before.
Alternatively, if you want to use a different recovery then you could install TWRP Recovery using "GooManager" in the Play Store. Just hit Menu then select Install OpenRecoveryScript to install TWRP, it's all touch and fairly simple from there. Your pre-existing backups aren't compatible from CWM though.

You would know the pixel density is changed because you have to manually change it in the build.prop. You don't need to worry about it since you didn't do it. Plus, changing pixel density would alter the way your home screen and each app is displayed so it wouldn't be just one app that looked different.
