When you flash this it gives you the option to install several recoveries, such as
CWM 5.0.2.0
CWM-Touch 5.8.1.6
CWM-Enhanced 1.1b
TWRP 2.5.0.0
All with the help of a nice UI called AROMA Installer.
Thanks to:
dread7us - CWM Enhanced
Dees_Troy - TWRP and for continuing to pump out newer recoveries for us!

I just wanted to go OT on your post here, about Aroma Installer. I just acquired an Evo 3D, by way of upgrading my wife's phone. I rooted it and the ROM I installed had Aroma Installer. It let me choose every.single.thing about the ROM I wanted: Which system apps, user apps, launchers, what phone network I was on, etc. etc. etc. It was really awesome and I was wondering if Aroma was incompatible with the Shift since I'd never seen it over here. Now I see it's not. I'll check this out if I don't end up selling my Shift!

How do we flash this? I am on CWM right now and I went in and flashed TWRP with this but when I reboot into recovery nothing has changed.

Did you check the md5sum of your download? I didn't have problems with it.
Also try pulling the recovery.log (at the end of the installer on the left it says "copy logs" ) and post that
The log says it worked but the recovery didn't change. I must be doing it wrong. I'll be able to look at it more closely at home this afternoon. Are there any special instructions on how to flash this?

I really dislike typing out ADB commands. I'm sure some of you feel the same. This program combines some of the most common tasks we perform with ADB and automates them for you.
Where is Recovery Flasher?
All the features are built into this program. I have decided to expand this program's functionality.
Features Explained
Flash ROM - Place a ROM in the 'ROM' folder renamed rom.zip. Hit enter and the zip will get flashed to your phone automatically
Flash Recovery - Will help you flash a recovery to your phone. For the Optimus V users, it will help you install all the needed drivers as well as obtain root privileges. Optimus T, S, and One phones will be able to flash a recovery.
Wipe dalvik-cache - Self explanatory .
Mount /system r/w - Allows read/write access to /system
Push ROM to SD card - Self explanatory (pushes to root of sd)
Push framework-res.apk - Pushes framework-res.apk to /framework, wipes dalvik-cache, and reboots the phone for you.
Push bootanimation.zip - Will remove boot animation and replace with one of your choice. (removes from /data/local as well as /system/media)
Reboot - Reboot
Reboot into Recovery - Obv.
Recoveries
CWMA v1.2518.4 for V and S
drellisdee's Recovery for T and One (thread with dl link will open automatically)
Recovery Instructions
- Download
- Unzip the folder somewhere (desktop is easy)
- Double click RecoveryFlasher.exe
- Choose 'flash recovery'
- Place your phone in debug mode >setting>applications>development>USB debugging
- Choose what you want to do
- Follow the prompts and hit "any" key when told
- Your phone will reboot into the recovery for you, and from there you can mount your sdcard and transfer a new ROM to flash. Or even easier, use the new "Flash ROM to phone" feature
You're responsible for your own actions Mr. Sister

FAQ
Can I use this with a different recovery?
-Yes. Any recovery can be used for the supported devices.
-To use an alternate recovery for the V or S, rename the new recovery to vrecovery.img and replace the 'vrecovery.img' included with the new one.
-For the Optimus One, the recovery needs to be named grecovery.img.
I don't understand the version numbers. Why did some numbers get skipped?
-First digit represents a huge change. Second represents new features. Third represents a bug fix
-2.3.1 = Second huge update with 3 feature revisions and one bug fix

This is a great program! I'm surprised nobody else has jumped on this. It's nice not to have to ADB the hell out of your phone.

THANKS TO HINTAY AT HIAPK.COM and ldrifta for the #1 zip, as well as ThauExodus, click "thanks"!!
Working: A lot. You tell me
Broken: Wifi(fixed in alternative version for static IP). Not all english. What else? you tell me.

SCREENSHOTS
Let me know how this goes. GINGERBREAD BASED
Need new spl/radio (of course)

Looks awesome! Do you plan on fixing all the english?
No, I don't know chinese
Note to people: phone 1/2 works on here. if anyone has any ideas for data, let me know...
Will test out :3 Is this completely MIUI? Becuase theres a lot of MIUI mods i like :3
this is not miui. It resembles MIUI and is quite speedy, if I do say so myself.
looks nice. if wifi and english were fixed it would be amazing that something like this could bee ported to our steezy old g1s
Dude give credit to Hintay, he brought it up in the Sapphire dev section...it looks like you just ripped all of it
Edit: I know you didn't rip it, just ported it, but at least let people know who started this ROM, hope no offense is taking

EDIT=At the OP are you using clockwork to flash this?
OK I think I have sorted it by signing the rom..will know in a few mins
Ok I got it to flash ok
Go here and get autosign http://www.mediafire.com/?jtjw3nmzwtj
copy the rom into the autosign folder that you just got from the link and rename the rom to update.zip
In the autosign folder you will find a sign.bat right click and run as admin then let it do it's job.
copy the new updated rom to the sdcard then follow what the OP said on how to flash
It's a nice rom thanks dude There are still some tabs in Chinese(maybe they will sort this) just need to get wifi working..anyone know how?

Here is my Version of this port.
You only need to flash the Recovery Hack (File no. 1 in iMagic by jcarrz1.zip), but only if you havn't flashed it before.
I used the Kernel and autokernel script from COS-DS.
Wifi and bluetooth seems to be working... At the first boot, everything is chinese, but click on the "gear" icon and than on the small gear icon. After that look for the A keyboard key icon, there select the first menu entry and select english. The setting menu in this rom is cool, but the launcher is crap >.<

Since it was too much of a hassle to include TWRP with every CM7 release, I decided to make a CMW flashable installer for TWRP.
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2
Team Win Recovery Project 2.1, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

When you flash a new ROM/boot.img after installing TWRP, if you do not select "Inject TWRP after install" you will go back to CWM!
It's easier to just keep the checkbox ticked (TWRP remembers if you tick it) and have TWRP re-inject itself after every ROM/boot.img flash.
Make sure you're on an MTD rom that's based on cm7 or an ICS rom
Download sgs4g-mtd-twrp-installer.zip for CM7 or sgs4g-ics-twrp-2.2.0-installer.zip for ICS
Reboot to recovery
Flash the installer.zip you downloaded
Enjoy! (After you reboot to recovery once more)
No link yet, but I will probably write a guide in the wiki on how to do it since you can build with almost no modification with how you build a CM7 boot.img

Nice work fb ill try it with the updated miui build
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA
Okay just another progress update. I just made a new build of TWRP using the Team Acid CM7 source tree and it appears to have worked fine. This means that it'll be easier to get updates out to you guys since I can build TWRP off the latest CM7/TeamAcid code.
I'll have to talk to bryan about how to integrate this into github to make it easier on other people to build. I want to share how to do this, but I need guidance first! Wait a few days and all you devs will get to play with the source for this
Great stuff as always! Congratulations on the Recognized Contributor status!
FB this is awesome! Thank You so much U just made our phones even better!
Yo FB,
Flashed over CM7 original R11. Rebooted into TWRP.
Backed up current ROM including cache and Android secures.
Flashed MIUI MTD Revenge using same steps listed for CWM only with TWRP leaving "inject TWRP" checked. ( factory reset, system format etc...all run as expected)
Boot MIUI MTD Revenge, everything is working, IMEI is fine.
Reboot to recovery from power menu, got hung up on old Team Acid logo.
Volume up/down + power into TWRP recovery, restore my previous backup. Reboot into CM7 R11, everything has been 100% restored. Hit XDA app button, leave comment.
Another great contribution man, this is very nice. The touch interface is very nice, I also think the battery % is a nice feature, along with the fact it takes you to your last folder (in my case ROMS) when you hit the install button. This even persists through reboots...very slick. Thanks man.

As always nice work. A CWM flashable. You really are to kind. And congrats on the RC status as well. You deserve it.
Congrats FB on RC! Awesome work. I thought that it would be coming soon.
TWRP is excellent. It is very user friendly and this flashable works wonders. I never thought a recovery could be so exciting!
On a side note, and sorry if this is not the place for it, but I have noticed it takes much longer to fix permissions with TWRP. Is this an isolated issue or is it just a result of TWRP?
Awesome work and thanks again for taking the time to help make the SGS4G even more amazing!

Hmm. I'm sure the script to fix permissions is bigger than cwm's. For cwm it's just a shell script that runs a bunch of chmod's, I'm not sure what twrp uses but I'll poke around in the source and ramdisk

I noticed that it took longer but figured it was because they wanted to make sure it covered all bases.
Here's the TWRP fix_permissions.sh

Here's the CWM one:

I'm trying to put the ics ui in, but it's not working. I put the ui.zip in the twrp folder, but the ui is the same

I'm pretty sure it's because you didn't put it in the right directory. I followed the instructions.
I don't have a theme folder in the twrp folder though. Do i justmake a new folder and name it theme?

Okay I made an update to this. The main change is that twrp now no longer extracts the installation zip into /tmp before installing it. Roms that were bigger than /tmp wouldn't flash correctly, but the new build fixes this.
You should grab it from the link in the OP.
Hi to all Alcatel one touch 995 lovers.
Again, it might kill your dog, destroy the universe or even worse..
Here is a new toy to play with :
TWRP recovery
Team Win Recovery Project 2.3, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind.
It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash.
The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able.
You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

NOTE
This has been tested (backup/restore/install) only with 4.1 roms (CM10, PAC..), please feedback for other roms
Before flashing Google Apps or any fix, please go first to Mount, then mount system_app.
Always use a battery with enough power before doing recovery things.. you might brick your phone otherwise.
Review of the 2.2 version here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2VlpVKj1eI
download to give a try, but still WIP
CHANGELOG :
29/01/2013
Removing download link, not working for the custpack partition
28/01/2013 :
Addition of Mount option and wipe option for /system/app partition
You must mount /system/app to flash anything but a rom (gapps or paranoid-addon)
Initial release :
This build uses libtar instead of busybox's tar via a system / command line type setup. We've been testing and developing libtar privately for a couple months now (mostly thanks to bigbiff) and given the trouble that the DNA has been having with crashing during backup, we've decided to roll out a build of our libtar code for you guys. dsb9938 tested an earlier version of this and found that it was much more reliable. We call it a beta because we haven't fully finished testing it on a wider variety of devices, but we believe that it's very close to ready and I don't think you guys will run into any issues. The logging on this build is extensive. If you run into a problem with backup or restore, please go to Advanced -> Copy Log and then get us the recovery.log from your /sdcard so that we can take a look. You must do this *before* you reboot TWRP or the log file will be gone. Thanks.
THANKS
BIG thanks to Dees_Troy - donate to him !!
Downloaded and flashed.
I'll test it for a bit and then let you know how it went.
Once again, Good work!
Sweet Ben. You sneaky devil. You know me, I'm on it like white on rice. :good:
That don't look right. lol I'm calling your work sweet, not you.
Oh, me sad...I'm not your sweet Ben anymore ?
Re: [RECOVERY][OT-995] TWRP 2.4.0 recovery - by BENETNATH
LOL!! Fool! Gonna go flash this recovery.
EDIT: nice work guys! That has got to be the best thing I've seen for this phone since you started modifying PAC Ben. I'm going to backup this rom then try restoring my PAC backup. I saw a setting in the Orange online backup for this recovery also. I'll try that out as well. I'll let you know how it all goes later or tomorrow. Thanks man. I gotta talk to the ole lady about letting me into the bank account. I'm banned cause guitars and things have a way of following me home.

Just logged on to report the same. Play store is not included in the install and no auto install of PS apps. But the rest of my account seems to be restored. I tried to manually install PS, but only get force close. I'm back on PAC BTW.
But it's a very nice recovery. You keep spoiling me man.
Almost forgot. I tried gapps minimal and official signed as well as multi pack++. Same for all.
Sent from my OT-995 using xda premium
Yep, gapps is a no go. They only flashed when i pasted the contents of GAPPS minimal into the rom but still i cannot log into google account.
on a sidenote, i cannot log into my account in the normal account either so maybe there is a problem with google?
Anyway backup and restore worked like a charm and pretty much everithing else too.
Only a glitch to report, the text lines go out of the screen, about 5 or 6 chars.
So ok. I fixed my problem with my google account.
I can confirm that pasting the minimal gapps content into the rom and flashing in one zip they work really good, flashing the rom and then gapps they don't work.
Good To know
Sadly, i can't release a merged ROM with gapps
I am trying To fix that but miss time again...

Yep, i know gapps can't be included in the rom but until you have time it is a good workaround.
It is a really good recovery.
did someone take time to test some of the functions, as adb sideload or just adb connection ? i had no time to test that part.

I never used that functions in any recovery.
can you try to add a mount call to /system/app in the script of gapps ?
in the updater-script located in \META-INF\com\google\android
just below the
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
paste
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system/app");

that should do the trick too
Re: [RECOVERY][OT-995] TWRP 2.4.0 recovery - by BENETNATH
Just did a backup and really roamed the recovery. Truly beautiful. I love all the functions.
About themes. Where to get and how to install?
Sent from my OT-995 using xda premium
that should work

look after 480x800 2.x theme
New release with mount option for /system/app
that must be ticked before flashing gapps
Hi guys,
Have you ever installed a mod without making a backup before? Did the mod break your system or was not working the way you expected? The only way to recover the system to the previous state was to restore an old backup and loose all new data.
Thanks to my mod, this won't happen again! I present to you "I Don't Want You!".
It means NO NEED TO ALWAYS MAKE BACKUP BEFORE INSTALLING A MOD!
How it works?
It creates update.zip containing apps changed by mod in comparison to stock system and deleting files added by the mod to our system.
What it does?
-creates update.zip
-signs the zip
-Additionally: pulls /system from the device (using adb) (you need to do that once before installing mods instead of unpacking system manually form FTF/.zip file)
Requirements:
-Windows
-.NET Framework 4.5 or higher
-files installed/changed by mod (the content of mod's .zip file without META-INF)
-Recovery installed on your Android device
-Rooted android device
-Java
Compatibility:
Every device and every Android build!
It does not fully support mods with AROMA Installer
Currently It works only with mods influencing /system.

This looks handy. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully I'll be able to test it in the next few days after switching roms.
Looks really handy...been looking for this
Too soon to ask for, but I will stick around for a Linux version to come out
Cheers till then.
Happy Holidays

Update.zip made by my tool should work on all recoverys using edify language. Please provide me an example of flashable zip for your recovery and I will check.
If It comes to porting the tool for linux, I need help in that matter as far as I am not using Linux and I haven't made any program for that system yet. Of course I will provide source code. Please contact me via PM. However you can try opening the tool with Wine. The ADB wont work but you can copy your /system manually and provide path to it in program.

Great job man!
Would you mind to put up kind of a noob tutorial with a brief description/explanation of what each option would exactly do?
...dont need to explain what the option "EXIT" will do though! Lol

Crashed
Looks like it copied /system but then failed at the last minute
Like jshare, crashed in last minute!
crashes during cleaning up process.....maybe add code to kill ADB and restart it before cleaning
@Vagelis1608
It should work
@ChazzMatt
Of course it doesn't! Currently it works only with /system mods.
@RMarques
The only options you need is:
1. For pulling system from your phone
2. To make update.zip (all other options are included in this one)
@jshare @Limac @Manvindar
Yeah, I forgot to add line for killing "adb" process in latest version, because I slightly rearranged whole code. I will upload fixed version in 10 min
UPDATE
I have uploaded fixed version!
