So I don't know about everyone else here, but I personally do not care for CWM as a recovery, If possible I would love to see Ra Recovery on this bad boy.
If any devs are interested in taking on the project, here's the source for RA:
https://github.com/AmonRA/RA-Recovery
And the source for TWRP (which I wouldn't mind seeing either):

All the old epic devs used clockwork.... I don't see it changing

Was the clockwork recovery image built specifically for this or is it the same one used for the mytouch/g1/nexus ect?
Wondering just because I prefer to use Amonra's Recovery on my G1 and the Mytouch regular I have.
So basically wanted to know if I could use this on the Mytouch Slide too.
Wondering before I flash and accidentally brick it for doing something before making sure others think it is okay.
You actually CANNOT flash a new recovery, the only known method for changing the recovery is through the ENG-BUILD. Amon Ra's were built specifically for each device though.
I guess it would be POSSIBLE in THEORY to boot another recovery the same way we boot Clockwork, but you'd have to ask Eugene that.
Hi friends!
Please, can anyone tell me what recovery image is the most advanced by now for HTC Desire (HBOOT .83). I mean which recovery is pimped with all that useful features that exist right now. Thank you.
Sorry to create this topic, but can't find...
I would like this question answering too.
I've always preferred the AmonRA recovery port personally, though some people will recommend ClockworkMod as well. Both can be flashed permanently through unrevoked so there's no need to keep a zip file on the SD card all the time. Why not try both of them out and decide for yourself? They're both pretty equal
Unrevoked : http://unrevoked.com/recovery/ (installs ClockworkMod recovery by default but you can choose what you want before plugging the phone in)
AmonRA recovery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=721792
I've also seen some recoveries with PSFreedom built in but I guess that's only useful if you've got a PS3.
Moved to Q&A. Please do not post question threads in the Development forum.

Thanks for your reply!
You know, actually, I already used RA and Clockworkmod.
Right now I prefer RA, cause Clockwork's doesn't have proper implementation to work with ext-file system. So... it's seems to me that RA is more complex.
Clockwork does a bit more when used with ROM Manager I think. All depends on if you want to do things within Android or the old skool way
On my Hero, I had Amon Ra recovery flashed on my phone and it had a background. Specifically a Care Bear (LOL).
I was wondering if this is possible on the current CWM recovery?
I only ask because it looks a bit, well, boring.
amon ra released evo recovery yesterday, i've been whining at him for ages to provide on for dhd hopefully we will get amon ra soon

Ah brilliant. Nice to see a familiar face round here Mike BTW. You need to shout at Nathan and the other guys from VillainRom. It'd be nice to see a ROM from them.
I put 3.0.0.8 on my phone to try out cm7 but I now want to go back to my deodexed froyo based rom and stuck in boot loops. can someone please direct me to a 2.0.5.0 (or something in that range) clockwork recovery.
Rom Manager only goes back to 3.0.0.5...What good is that?
http://www.dougpiston.com should have a 2.5 Inc recovery.

Just helping out the OP here, but it's http://www.dougpiston.com/
Thanks soooo much guys back up and running but the only 2+ version I found was 2.5.1.2 which works but takes like 10+ minutes to do a nandroid restore. (Just googled and see others said the same for 2.5.1.1 & 2.5.1.2)
If anyone knows where I can get another 2+ version (like 2.5.0.5) I would be greatly appreciative.
Surprised Koush doesnt have a database of all the old clockwork recoveries.
He does. I unfortunately forgot to bookmark the link! Keep searching though, its out there.
Well after searching for about 45 minutes I finally found a 2.5.0.5 clockwork recovery hosted on some obscure site.
I can't tell you how dissapointeed I am right now in clockwork/Kosh.
First off how do you not give the user a warning that updating clockwork will lead to many basic roms you have saved not restoring correctly?
Second is any version of clockwork recovery should be able to backup/restore any rom.
Third how do you not make older clockwork recoveries easily available to the user? Rom Manger only lets you revert back to 3.0.0.5...Are you kidding? What good will that do most people with a non cm7 or gingerbread type rom? Even searching all of Koch site and his Gitrub I could not find any old clockwork recoveries anywhere.
Just a bad job all around on this one.
Oops, sorry. Swype thought I meant poison instead of piston lol... I tried!

My first question is, why does the Incredible need two recoveries? When I came from my other phone, Amon Ra was far superior to CWM and it appears the same with the Incredible, so why do the Devs design everything to work with CWM? Next question is what's the difference? They both are suppose to do wipes,flashes,backups,restores etc etc..so why would one work when dealing with certain ROMs and the other would not?

It dosen't need two, but choice is good.
There isnt much difference. Cwm is easier to navigate, and has a few more options than amon. Also cwm is needed for rom manager which is a pretty popular app.
Both amon and cwm should work with all roms or mods, but since most devs use cwm when building their mods and roms they sugest you use it too because that way they know it should work since thats their setup. I know the fresh roms for the evo require amon ra for their updater app.
Actually CWM is prevalent over AmonRa on the Incredible...that's why devs design for that. AmonRa is there, yes, but CWM is what (at least as far as I know, I could be wrong, I don't speak for anyone but myself) most people use. Just look at signatures. Most say their recovery is CWM 3.x or 5.x.
I see what you're saying. I never had luck with Rom Manager, and I did use CWM for a while but to me Amon Ra has more options and is way faster. I would think for noobs that CWM would be better. When I first rooted my first phone I used the crap out of Rom Manager lol. Now I don't use that app. Thanks for the input though.
