I see many other people using 4EXT recovery over anything.
I find a touch recovery somewhat gimmicky and not very advantageous over Regular clockworkmod.
I prefer the look of clockworkmod over the bronze/grey theme of 4EXT.
I see the only advantage of 4EXT is interactive install but ClockworkMod works with aroma vs. Yes/No interactivity.
I feel that 95% of Sensation users only use 4ext and I don't understand why having touch in a recovery is such a "breakthrough".
I feel this might be in the wrong section. Please move to general if needed.
mainly because you can choose which kernel to install, whether you wanna stay on stock or OC'd, that way you dont need to install it afterwards (it saves time) and also install other stuff like bravia engine or anything the developer includes..

Heres the thing:
You can do the same thing on clockworkmod.
The rom however, must have an AROMA installer.
InsertCoin is an example of a rom with AROMA.
I use the 4ext because of the touch screen... I don't want to use the volume button too much cause its too fragile.... I flash a lot of things and make backups, I don't want my volume button to get worn out or damage... And I'm not sure how stable CWM touchscreen is

I guess touch is more intuitive (scroll + press) rather than hitting buttons to reach the desired potion & then hitting another button to select.
Each one to his own.
I used CWM for over a year on the Desire, then switched to 4EXT there and continue to use it on Sensation. The touch input is definitely not a 'gimmick', it's just so much easier to touch your way around the menu screens than use the vol rocker. Isn't that sort of obvious?

People use touch recoveries because it makes life easier. If using the volume rocker and power button to navigate your €600 retail phone with a giant touchscreen makes you feel superior, keep on rockin.
I don't see how anybody can find using the volume rocker and power button at all comfortable with this device. It was a little more comfortable using CWM when I had the SGS4G, but 4ext is much better with the Sensation. That, along with the fact that most of us do a ton of flashing, the volume buttons are just too weak. Wo glad my brother showed me 4ext.

I told my friend to get CWM 5.8.0.9 Touch. CWM all the way

For me EXT4 Touch, find it very simple and straight forward to use
I feel like it is a very good feature. I feel like I can do what I need to do faster. Progress is always good. 4ext Touch is still growing and the custom themes are cool too. Being able to choose all those options during install is an amazing thing though. You should give it a try

Well it depends (the charging while off issue). I use the blue revolutionary and have no prob with it, never did on cwm 4.0.1.5 either. There's also the new cwm 5.sum and that it restores/backs up much faster and confirmed to charge while off.
So I guess now its a personal preference on which one u wanna use
Sent by my feau gee
CWM 5.0.0.1 works great, but so did the blue 4.0.1.4, I agree, it is personal choice.
I would go with your standard clockwork mod. It is compatible with almost every ROM out there. I use the yellow(orange) clockwork mod but I believe the blue one works the same. Happy Hacking!
I had a G2 before I had the mytouch 4g slide and I used to be able to change to the next song holding down the Up volume button. I can't do that with the slide, my slide is root and is running the Virtuous rom. Anyone know anything about it?
-thanks
Was your G2 also running Virtuous?
I think (not 100% sure) but the volume up/down music control is a feature that must be implemented into the ROM itself, ie. CM7/MIUI. Sense 3.0 doesn't have that built-in I believe.

Hey there everyone
There's a new recovery out for the Inspire that isn't CWM and I think you might want to give it a try. If you used to be a Droid user, you might remember this:
check it out here
It's tons faster than what clockwork mod recovery is (but can still flash your cwm backups!) and you can use your capacitive buttons at the bottom of your phone to navigate!
Plus changing the colors is a snap - built in utility for it! Only thing that doesn't work consistently is touch screen scrolling.
Go ahead and give it a try (if you're brave enough, I am not, nor is RZR liable for any damages, but you all already knew that =p). Definitely worth the shot.

Thanks, fixed in edit

If you didn't make it then you should not be posting it. Sense this is a link to another thread this is not development and ill move it to general
Not a problem, thanks mod.
Also, I can't every use anything in cwm but my volume rocker and power button. I love being able to use the capacitive ones. Much easier for me
I flashed existz ics build a few days ago, it's running great. IM not sure if my question corresponds to that change, so... I now the option to flash CWM touch from within the app... I used a touch recovery before (not long ago) but it was too new to trust.
Do you prefer the touch version or the volume button controlled version?

I flashed the touch recovery yesterday and tested a bit....It works great and found no bugs so far, I guess the touch version is more confortable than the volume rocker one. However I think 4ext is still ahead the CWM...
4ext touch recovery is perfect. I have been using and testing it since before it was beta.
I got your 10 char right here

I prefer touch, honestly. I like to save my volume rocker from excessive mashing and my thumb loves me for it too.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
I haven't used either yet (don't change ROMs a lot) but with all the threads I've seen about people's volume buttons breaking, either touch recovery has to be better than the old ones.
I have been using it for a week now and works great although the 4ext touch is still ahead. Not using the volume rocker is awesome.

Post#1- Introduction:
This is the navigation bar which google earlier announced alongside honeycomb and came with the ics based galaxy nexus.Now this is the era of touchscreens not hardware and capacitive buttons!?come on people grow up!
Down here is a picture comparing nexus 4 to s3.
This will work on android 4.0 and above android versions and this bar takes up only 0.3 inch of the screen!
It is a three button bar-back,home and multitasking.

Afaik sak was asking for a kernel with bln sypport to port from (along with the lights.so lib from the same device ) so as to enable its support I guess. Once done in the kernel we need to download an app too to actually implement it. Correct me if I am wrong

Just cover them with black ink and if you like nexus 4 it doesn't mean everybody does so don't force it
And I can disable the capacitive buttons btw
I am using the nexus buttons.
I changed DPI to 140 to make it look a bit normal.
I still prefer capacitive though.

2. Make changes
