Difference between CWM and TWRP?

On my HOX I have TWRP installed. What is the difference between CWM and TWRP? Don't they do the same thing?
Most importantly, will CWM mods work with TWRP? (like the .zip ones) Also, what about de-odexing?
Sorry for all of the questions, I'm new to android modding.

Cwm is buggy. You can use twrp for everything and it's fine.

Alright so there are no downsides to using TWRP right? On this forum all I see is CWM on every thread

CWM is the most common recovery, cause its the oldest and most known. But, you can also tell its the oldest, as the UI is... Ugly, compared to TWRP. The "slide to confirm" function on TWRP is really nice IMO.
But yeah, when they say "CWM", they just mean a custom recovery.
Also, TWRP is officially supported on our devices, which is why its recommended above CWM.

It's not 100% bug free but it is much more stable than cwm.

^That, and the TWRP tries to fix the bugs as they are presented.

Good to note too that CWM nandroids are not restorable in TWRP. So all previous backups from CWM are useless once you change.

i have CWM on my one x, if i want to change it to TWRP, how would i do that? follow instruction on TWRP web site?? http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/99

I started out using CWM but switched because I use CleanRom and Scott suggested using TWRP. I just loaded it by downloading GooManager from google play and then following the install instructions. Worked fine for me...

You can just install TWRP right on top of CWM using a flashable TWRP zip, Goo Manager, or through fastboot.

Another point, the version of cwn for the HOX is an unofficial port and thus not supported. There is an official version of twrp for the HOX, which is reason enough to switch.

CWM was never officially released for our phone. It was a port from another version and isn't perfect. My experience with twrp has not shown me a single problem or even a hiccup.

Anyone else notice clockwork now sucks! Any good options now?

simply put, for as long as i can remember all i had to do is make a full backup, it was stored on my sd, then if i made an error somewhere or flashed a rom i did not like, all i had to do was open up old faithful clockwork and do a restore and everything was fine. well the last few revisions of clockwork have screwed me!
if i do a backup, flash a new rom, make any changes etc, when i want to do a restore in clockwork, guess what? NO RESTORE FILES!
the restore data always gets marked and sent to the LOST directory.
what the hell?
anyone know of any GOOD backup and/or recovery software? i have had it with clockwork!
this is the second time i am having to raw dump an sd card then manually convert the binary back to usable files just to recover important files!
cheers,
disco

You can try CW-Enhanced [v1.1b] by Dread 7 , or TWRP 2.3.1.0 touch Recovery .

Can't go wrong with Dread7us' enhanced recovery (the first link in prboy's post above)

I like the touch interface, the way the menus are laid out. Being able to select what to back up and restore (idk if you can do that on clockwork because I haven't used it in ages lol) and queuing multiple zips to flash right after another.

With CWM you can select what to restore. But you cannot choose multiple zips to flash.

Did they fix the Sense flashing problem? I used v2 and the only way you could flash a Sense ROM was if it was under 215 MB... And believe me there isn't much Sense left @215 MB I only ever got the one to boot one on TWRP and then Dread came out with his and I have never used anything else.

he cleaned up the code and added in the superwipe feature from another recovery, i wanna say the amon-ra recovery but i cant remember. the superwipe goes up to a x5 wipe of all partitions and makes it easier to wipe before flashing new roms.
or were you asking me about twrp 2.3.1.0?

before the touchscreen felt too sensitive and it also wouldnt flash sense roms correctly. they seemed to have ironed all of that out and i think it works good now. not to mention the ability to theme it if you choose to.

I did like the theming, but wasame only able to find like three when I was using it.

Definitely would recommend Enhanced Clockwork Mod. Best recovery by far...

There's also one more recovery that you can try out if you have the chance, its called AmonRA. I can't say anything about it myself because I've never tried it, but you could give it a shot. I can also say that my favorite so far (haven't tried TWRP though, will soon) is dread's CWM enhanced recovery. Its very useful if your phone won't boot up but you can get into recovery as it let's you run terminal commands straight from there, it also has a very useful Superwipe feature which I think all recoveries should try to adopt/include.

Boot into recovery - While phone is off hold the Home, Volume Up and Power buttons until you see your recovery.
I can never seem to remember this. I always end up in "Samsung Download Mode" and panic.

I've flashed the CM build you've linked in this post, but my phone won't boot past the cycling blue CyanogenMod logo.
I've tried rebooting and waiting for periods of between 10 and 30 minutes with no different results.
Does anyone know what's wrong?

thanks for the feedback.
original post updated.

Thread needs updates!
Hey, @kilr00y, can you update with the latest modem, and bootloader? (As they appear to be needed by the latest nightlies to work) -- you posted them in another thread here.

CWM out of date!
Also, can you update the CWMs you posted here? There is a newer ODIN flashable one (and also CWM flashable one) posted by @Nardholio here. It fixes a major bug -- if we use the one linked to and flash the latest nightlies we end up with all kinds of "0/0/0/0" folders on the root of our phones!

Really? Because, 6.0.2.8 is the newest I've seen. When I install the nightly zips from CWM, it appears unmodified, and the version # stays at 6.0.2.8. So... are we talking about the same thing?
(Also, when I install the latest nightlies with the older version of CWM, CWM does not upgrade to 6.0.2.8, either. It stays at the messed up older version. That's why when I flashed like 20 different roms I ended up with twenty nested /0/ folders -- upgrading to 6.0.2.8, wiping, and re-flashing fixed all that.)
Edit:
Okay, I responded too quickly; I re-read what you wrote, @Nardholio, -- so "recovery.img" contains CWM somehow? And it has a newer version than 6.0.2.8... and is updated daily? -- Is that correct?
How do you install a "recovery.img" file? When I click on "PDA" in ODIN 3 it only knows how to open *.tar, *.md5, and *.smd. So... what does one do with a "recovery.img" file?

You don't need odin 'If you have any previous cwm/recovery flashable zips.'
Simply replace the recovery.img from that old flashable recovery with one of latest from the nightly jenkins builds.
Then flash withing recovery.
(For every nightly you will see a 'recovery.img' file - download one of the latest, these are nightly cwm recovery builds.)
This was the method prescribed to me by lbcoder & nard when I was trying to upgrade my cwm from 6.0.2.8 to a more recent recovery (6.0.3.3)
Worked a treat.
Tip: once flashed in recovery, goto advanced and 'reboot into recovery' to ensure the flash worked and you do indeed have a new recovery (keep a note of the build number displayed in recovery at the top of the recovery screen.)
Very easy, enjoy :thumbup:

[RECOVERY] New CWM Recovery v6.0.4.8 for LG-P500 (CM11, CM10+) ROM flashable)

Hey guys... I just thought to post this new CWM Recovery v6.0.4.6 which support SELinux for device like LG-P500 (arm v6).
UPDATE: New recovery can flash all CM 10+ ROMs and CM 11.
This recovery has RAINBOW theme, Wana try press vol+ vol- button and then continuous press vol- and reclick back button. Enjoy KITKAT 4.4.2 and other CM 10+ ROMs on this CWM 6.0.4.6 recovery.
Update December 26, 2013:
recovery and format of sdext
Update Jan 16, 2014
Flash all CM10+ and CM11 ROMs
Backup restore problem solved (Linking Dexes and showing "zero' system space after boot)
___________________________________
Please 'HIT THANKS' if this really help you, Thanks meter encourage developer to work more enthusiastically

Very nice recovery. Did the trick for KitKat ROM.
Note however bug I found:
While previous 5.0.2.7 would fail to backup sd-ext, this one succeeds in doing so. Great.
However when restoring, sd-ext fails trying to format the (ext4) partition.
Word to wise: Backup sd-ext to PC before experimenting.
Note the 5.0.2.7, after a factory reset, left me with this partition unwritable so rather have it fail than bashup

could we ask one for P505?
thanks

Just copy the assert statement(first lines in updater script) from kitkat roms to the rom you want to flash and everything should be fine.

Firstly I would like to thanks for your excellent work of this CWM Recovery As you suggested on the Android 4.3 thread I did install this recovery, flashed cm-11-UNOFFICIAL-20131216 with no error :good:, and kitkat booted on my p500 eventually :victory: :beer: , as reported by others.
Brief review for Recovery
Bit laggy compare to v5.0.2.7, can not backup and restore sd-ext. (failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2. Error while formatting /sd-ext). It's the culprit kitkat failed to mount sdcard?
Request:
It"ll get 5 stars for touch version as v5.0.2.7 by vivekkalady. NotOnlyEyes provided touch (well, actually not fully touch from my opinion) version 6.0.4.5 but an error occur while flashing cm-11.
Anyway, thanks for the great works

Firstly I would like to thanks for your excellent work of this CWM Recovery As you suggested on the Android 4.3 thread I did install this recovery, flashed cm-11-UNOFFICIAL-20131216 with no error :good:, and kitkat booted on my p500 eventually :victory: :beer: , as reported by others.
Brief review for Recovery
Bit laggy compare to v5.0.2.7, can not backup and restore sd-ext. (failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2. Error while formatting /sd-ext). It's the culprit kitkat failed to mount sdcard?
Request:
It"ll get 5 stars for touch version as v5.0.2.7 by vivekkalady. NotOnlyEyes provided touch (well, actually not fully touch from my opinion) version 6.0.4.5 but an error occur while flashing cm-11.
Anyway, thanks for the great works

Seems only laggy to get first menu, a couple of other places. Can live with that.
The failure to format is its own error, I believe. Saw commits about a fix.
The other error is that clearing Dalvik Cache also kills link2sd's on sd-ext. At least, this should be a option.
Generally, touch versions are more problematic, sometimes do not fit screen, etc. Better off as we are.

New Update: SDEXTRestore fixed :highfive:

Update December 26, 2013:
recovery and format of sdext

CM is having a new fstab layout for a number of devices. One of these changes include a by-name partition support (instead of say mmcblk0p33 called as "system"). you need this recovery to flash CM from today, and probably all 4.4.2 ROMs soon
That's the major change...other than that: adb fixes (big issue for me while trying to pull kmesg logs for Sense 6 building :fingers-crossed, LED fixes, dual core support, fix of backup and restoration of encrypted backups

I haven't tried. I know adb works now though so I can guess that mass storage will too

Tried flashing, then tried booting both versions directly from fastboot and neither will completely boot for me. All I get is a flashing TWRP splash.

I guess I could try that. I'm fairly certain I've got the latest firmware and hboot, but its worth a shot

I did what Jose mentioned in the Pacman Kitkat thread as the fix to this--"Note: If after installing the recovery, it will not pass the screen TWRP
Restart and boot normally (system), then with any file manager to delete this "/sdcard/TWRP/.twrps"
It worked for me, and I had the same flashing TWRP screen issue as you.

It is for me, you could try uninstalling the currently installed driver on windows and reinstall it.

I tried to uninstall and re-install the drivers but no luck for me to enable USB mounting in TWRP 2.7.0.8

Go back, one page.

I flashed this today and now my internal SD card doesn't mount. I'd be grateful for any assistance.

All you needed to do was read the last few posts in this thread for suggestions on what to do.

I flashed mine with Flash GUI Image. It worked flawlessly and TWRP is super smooth and stable. I couldn't use fastboot because my phone can't be recognized by my PC.

I'm sorry timmaaa, I'm not sure what you mean. When I use a file explorer on my phone, it says my internal storage sd card is unmounted.
