Oy, I gotta be a newb....
I've been using CWM for a looong time, then I switched to TWRP. It seems to work slightly faster, but I was wondering...is TWRP better overall for our partitioning, or does CWM do a decent enough job? I like the feature in TWRP, but I hear theat CMW Touch can do everything the samw way...
Any thoughts?
Looks to me CM lacks features and is slower than twrp but twrp has many features and is faster.
Twrp also saves more recovery space and has the ability to name backups and restore specific functions.
Still, I stick with cwm as I am more likely to use.
Its a matter of opinion. Everyone has a different opinion. Like SomCom said. TWRP has more features than CWM. That features you see in CWM is in TWRP. You can also theme TWRP. Don't know if you can do that in CWM though.. in my opinion TWRP has a better UI. Looks more holo.

Ok, I'll stick with CMW for now, but will upgrade to TWRP for future experimentation...
BTW, did you say you have CARBON ROM on your Blaze? Link Me, link me! Does it work with Wi-Fi?

Its in the Dev section. There's two versions. One is SomComs which is built from source. Mine is a dirty port.. And no. WiFi is not working on either of them.

It will all be based on preference... But I love twrp I currently have 2.5 on my lg Optimus g and I have had no problems with it ever.

Interesting... I've wondered about the differences as well. Been happy with CWM (currently using the touch version) but I like the idea of being able to label my backups in TWRP. I might have to give it a go.
If love TWRP's interface so far but I've found one minor downfall... it doesn't add a reboot option on the power menu like CWM did. The "reboot into recovery" option. Everything else is great. The ability to customize the options, name your backups, scroll down the list of files, etc... very nice.
EDIT: I'm an idiot. I forgot the reboot options don't pop up until after you select Reboot from the power menu. Duh! :screwy:

Hey everyone I've been flashing different ROMs trying to fox this problem but nothing seems to help. My phone gets the black screen and random reboots probably every 20 mins or so. Its pissing me off bad! Wiped everything possible 3x before I flash any ROM jb/ics and even dark side wipe 3x too and nothing helps. It still does it. I'm almost to the point of throwing this thing against the wall and using some pos go phone lol. Can someone please help me! Thanks

Without knowing what ROM you're using no one can help you. Random reboots still happen in Jellybean but they aren't every 20 minutes. Download the stable CM9 for your phone and try installing that. If you still get random reboots you have either a defective phone (not likely) or you're doing something wrong.
I'm on orthus one and it happens to me one literally every ROM I try including the stable cm9. Idk what I'd be doing wrong. I'm on sk8s latest recovery if that helps. Should I just odin back to stock and go from there?

What was your original ROM? Are you coming straight from stock ICS to the customized ROMs or are you coming from an older android version?

Make sure you're on a higher version of CWM or get on TWRP, the recovery may have had a lot to do with it
Cheers, hope it works.

I'm running Liquid rc1 v2 myself - it's buttah smooth! Check out TWRP recovery - it's a must for flashaholics. You can download the goo manager from playstore and install the recovery or flashable version available in dev section. Try it and you'll be hooked.
Hey everyone, I've been having my second brick dilemma over the past 24 hours. It seems that the latest version available via ROM Manager hasn't been installing correctly for Optimus One users (I've seen multiple cases). I'm very weary in trying to install CWM through RM again, and I want to know what the latest stable version you guys have is. Either that, or a recovery similar to CWM and can install CM10 again for me.
CWM 5.0.2.0, I have been using it for ten months without a single issue.

Alright. Do you know where I can find the recovery image? I don't trust ROM Manager to install it, as that's the one that was being installed when my phone bricked.

There's a list of flashable recovery zips in the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523050
To install, just flash them using your current recovery.

Seeing as how I have the Optimus T (Basically the One with the old BB, new one doesn't allow networking as far as I can tell), would Touch work with it? I updated via ROM this time and now have 5.0.2.0 installed. :highfive:
Stable recovery
TOUCH RECOVERY of CWM 5.0.2.7 by vivekalady is the most stable . you can get it in the forum.or u may try twrp recovery.

Thanks. As I'm using the Optimus T with an upgraded Base Band, I'll hold off on the Touch version for now, but I'll definitely keep it in mind and try it later. There's really no part of this forum dedicated to the T, because it has a weird resemblance to the One but isn't like it in all ways.
first things first. I'm a noob. HAHA. but i'm willing to learn.
I recently rooted my phone by using chainfire's CF-AUTO-ROOT and it has stock recovery on it. Now, I want to install a custom recovery, specifically cwm recovery. How will be able to do this? Do I have to unroot then root again? a step by step info will be appreciated. thanks
First of all find a cwm file for ur device specific to the model u have on google. Flash it with Odin n u will have the recovery.

Flashing? not really that well with android terms yet. after clicking "pda" then selecting the cwm file, should I click start? is that what you meant by flashing?
I appreciate your help.
Yeah first go to download mode holding power and volume down button and select the file in the PDA section n just click on start. And wait till pass. appears on the Odin screen. That's it.

I also would like to install cm 10.2. is it stable? I tried searching and I found pac rom and if i'm not mistaken 3 custom roms are installed into 1 rom.
I also would like to ask if it is really necessary to wipe all data before installing a new rom? and if so, would apps like titanium backup pro would be able to backup every single app or information that is in my tab/

Your thread is changing direction but I can't resist commenting anyway. If your tablet is rooted, stock I don't think you will see big benefits to a custom ROM. For other tablets I use like the Kindle, Nook and N7 custom roms can make a huge difference. I'm running CM 10.? Or variants of that on those devices. My most used tablet is this 2.7 with stock ROM. If you must try another ROM, I'd suggest a sick based ROM that is deodexed with sound or visual enhancements. Also, changing to a noon, Touchwiz launcher will make big differences. GOOD LUCK!
P.S. quess what a ROMaholic might be.

Hi all. N00b question but id like to know if CWM and TWRP are the same. I am currently using i9500 and TWRP have a official release while CWM does not.

I'm able to install several 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 based ROMs, but I've tried 3 different 4.4 based ROMs and they all failed. Anything I should know about TWRP flashing 4.4 ROM to D2VZW SGS3? I used Casual to root and unlock. I've jumped around to different kernels but back at stock. I tried a few 4.4 and 4.3 kernels when trying to install kitkat roms but that didn't matter either, still got a FAIL in TWRP. I wiped dalvik, cache and data, and even system, abd a few times more than once. Any ideas?
