The touch module is inspired mostly by scanno touch recovery for Advent Vega and cleaned up and modernized with some stuff from Cannibal Open Touch Recovery. The full touch module is developed by Napstar from UtterChaos Team - Napstar touch recovery, adapted, modified and improved in some parts by me.A big THANKS to Napstar for his full touch source.
FEATURES
To be able to use Aroma File Manager, for which you can find an entry under Carliv menu in recovery, you need to go to amarullz thread and download the version 1.80 of aromafm.zip, because as BOND has discovered this version will be full touch. Rename it to aromafm.zip, make a folder named ".aromafm" (notice the dot before aroma) in clockworkmod folder on sdcard, and copy aromafm.zip in .aromafm folder. Now you can browse your phone without rebooting to Android or connecting the phone to computer.
For porting, unfortunately there are same limitations as in COT recovery - your phone resolution.
The most important thing is that you will use from now on the same folder as previous CWM Recoveries, same backups, same settings. Is very good and stable recovery.

Carliv Touch recovery v1.5 - only navigation touch menu
The new version 1.5 can be downloade from OP.
Basically is CWM 6+ with touch buttons menu. It has all functionality of CWM Recovery, and I added extra, Aroma File Manager support.
The touch module is inspired mostly by scanno touch recovery for Advent Vega, but also Napstar touch recovery, and cleaned up and modernized with some stuff from Cannibal Open Touch Recovery.
This is not a modified COT recovery. You won't find here settings or theme or some other cool stuff they created for COT recovery. For that go to COT Recovery thread. I made this recovery to keep it simple and slim, because MTK phones have a limited size recovery partition. As I said, is a CWM modded recovery with touch screen menu buttons. Also I kept the Go Back entry in menu, just in case if for some devices is not working the touch menu (brocken or something) - in that case it will be just a good CWM recovery.
Video will be added soon.

Good Job, I will try this asap...
Why don't you try to make TWRP recovery to this phone...?
I think TWRP has a better UI than CWM

The MTK6589 Phones have a recovery with size of 6.2 Mb, and if we took down reserved space from it, it will remain a recovery with 6080-6090 Kb in absolute size. Anything bigger than that won't boot. I know there are some guides on how to increase recovery size modifying scatter file, but that didn't work in my phone (I guess because this phone doesn't have a stock ROM in SPFlashTool format). And also rua1 said that modifying only scatter won't be enough.
So, why make my life complicated when I can simplify it
Nice work!
I'm now running your ported COT on my FAEA F2 and I like it a lot!
I'll be waiting for you to port this one for 1080x1920 resolution so I can try it as well!
can you share your aroma file manager 1.91?.. also i will be waiting for your hd version of this recovery.

Ok, thank you very much for the explanation, I have no experience in it, but I can understand.
So, I think Carliv Touch Recovery is the only choice if I want to use Touch version of recovery...
Will test & create video to show others how this Touch Recovery works on Blu Life Play or other MTK Devices.

Sure, but you need to port it first for phone resolution. And the "key test" doesn't work because I remaped keys for touch panel - I should correct that in next release. Or, of course, you can build it from source and repack it after to work in mtk devices.
Thanks!

Update (21-apr-2015):
This is the last batch of builds for porting. I won't do that anymore.
- new GUI theme;
- an extra version with swipe touch support;
- cleaned up the source code;
- reset battery stats option;
- wipe all - preflash option;
- removed nvram backup/restore because it can corrupt the bootloader;
-full track of changes here.
I used it as base for my touch recovery. Basically is a CWM 6.0.3.7 for jellybean and CWM 6.0.5.1 for kitkat modified by me with many extra features.
- aroma file manager menu
- rainbow mode menu
- separate power menu
- separate wipe menu
- nvram backup/restore menu
- advanced backup/restore menu
- toggle signature, toggle md5sum.
To port it follow my new guide from here
All screenshots are made with my new tool from here.
For jellybean version currently there are two lunfile paths in the world of mtk phones. This will make your USB Mass storage to work in recovery or not. Search that path in your device to see what you have.
Lunfile path 1 (old): "/sys/devices/platform/mt_usb/gadget/lun%d/file" - this can be found in many devices mt6572, mt6589, mt6589T, and other old ones.
Lunfile path 2 (new): "/sys/devices/platform/mt_usb/musb-hdrc.0/gadget/lun%d/file" - this is related to new devices mt6582, mt6592...
Find where is your path and download the image to port from correct section.
Depending of your resolution width, choose an image which contains exactly that value or one close to it, and follow the tutorial to port it.

Usually that means the recovery is bigger than the recovery partition. It happens in some devices with an unusually big kernel (I saw kernels with 4.7 Mb for a recovery at 6 Mb - not much room for ramdisk). Other thing is if you use MobileUncleTools to flash it - this doesn't work in some cases, and you need to flash it with SPFT. Remember, if you have a small partition, any recovery bigger than 5.9 Mb (you need some reserved space) will not work. You can try to shrink some images, or to replace them with blank dummy pngs, but not for stitch and buttons. These have to remain in rgb format, otherwise you have that black screen again, and the phone will reboot to system.

My device's recovery partition got 6MB. Ported recovery got 5.4MB.
I actually used MobileUncleTool to flash, then I tried to flash using SPFT.
Same issue, black screen. Need to reinsert battery to reboot.

Try to access the recovery log from temp directory (cache/recovery/last.log), after that happens. If there is nothing there, than the phone didn't even boot in recovery, otherwise you will see where it's stuck.
I think it actually didn't boot recovery.
Log's showing what I did when I was still on Stock Recovery. (Wipe data/cache)
Even the .prop values are using stock ones. (I changed adb secure, debuggable, etc in the one I ported.)
hello carliv,
is it possible to have a version 1.4 with custpack?
@carliv
Thanks for your activity.
Are this recovery compatible with most recent Mediatel ROM based on Android 4.4?

All my recoveries are compiled on cm-10.1 building environment and in theory they will work better with kernels built for android 4.2 top (in these builds are missing sepolicy files and all selinux related files), but some users report that they used it for flashing and backup lenovo kitkat (vibeUI something) and it was successfull. I can't test that, but my advice is if you have an official Android 4.4 mtk powered phone, I'm sure the recovery partition is bigger than 6Mb, and for that I would recommend you PhilZ recovery if you want to stay on CWM base, or TWRP. I made my recoveries with only one reason in mind: to be small enough to fit a recovery partition of 6Mb.
Thanks for the explanation. What's about Androdi 4.3 compatibility? Like 4.4 ?
Recovery compatibility
Android 4.2.x - OK
Android 4.3.x - ?
Android 4.4.x - ?
Note: personally I like the non touch recovery.
Do you have a link for Philz recovery for Mediatek chipset?
Thanks again.

I think it should work in Android 4.3 but I have no feedback on it. The reason is there are very few mtk devices with Android 4.3 or 4.4 (real not spoofed), and I didn't tested personally any of them.
For PhilZ recovery you can check his official thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860 , that support mtk devices nativelly, but you must compile it in cm-11 source,
or the mtk dedicated one started by my friend @yuweng here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748169
The PhilZ recovery require many times a recovery partition bigger than 6MB.
In many acses teh recovery partition is limirted to 6MB.
For this if you can create your recovery from CW11 (compatible with KK) you can sue it.

If a mtk phone gets Kitkat then I assure you the recovery and boot partition will be increased by producer in that firmware along with the new kernel. The 6Mb partition is specific to 4.1.x-4.2.2 devices. For these even my recovery, if it's built in CM11, will oversize 6 Mb because of the new modules.
gzip support
Thanks for this non-touch version! Can you update to include the gzip support as in the latest touch version? Thanks.

CWM Recovery MTK 6.0.3.7 carliv non-touch
Hi all!
I just combined some scripts to have a auto make custum recovery.
It is based on BM / michfood / yuweng / carliv work! Version 2014-06-29. See beginning of this thread.
Thank you!
usage: cwmr.bat stock-recovery.img
MTK6575 and MTK6577 tested. May work with MTK6589... (option 3 -> MTK6577)?
It is a question if fstab is matching. It is complete batch source, so you can adapt to alternate partition tabel.
Have fun!
EDIT:
What I did:
I took "old lunfile path" "normal font" file from carliv first thread, I extracted it and added to some old scripts from yuweng (I cannot find anymore to download). I tested it and made it public to all.
The latest CWM is 6.0.4.4 and Carliv release this update. Should be possible to aplly it?
Well, I am not sure about what I understand. You can use my upload and mod it any way you like. I hope to have helped to get latest CWM Recovery.
