I've only ever used CWM before. What exactly is TWRP and how is it better? I did hear that the new version can handle encrypted phones which sounds important to me. I use AOKP with a CMPlus kernel. Thanks

agreed with above and you can theme it
by me, for me and I love you
Ive had issues with bad restores on TWRP as well as a few others I know where force closes would randomly start happening I don't see any difference other than themeing which is nice but reliability > customization.

Better or worse depends on what you want I guess.
I use CWM 5.5.0.2 because it is extremely stable, and it is NON-touch. The touch-enabled CWM is NOT stable.
For me, having a touch-enabled recovery is silly -- I am in recovery to fix something or flash something, and I don't need a touch interface where I can accidentally touch the screen and it will do something I don't want. And I certainly do not want themes on my recovery. Hell, I don't even use themes on my ROMs...
From my point of view, the only benefits to using TWRP is the ability to decrypt data while in recovery (although I don't use encryption, so...) and compression. I can't comment on TWRP stability, as I have not used it long enough.

I did some research and TWRP looked good. I installed TWRP yesterday. I've made a backup and its very quick. I did not restore yet. I too have not had enough seat time to comment on reliability. .
I'm still confused whether or not I have to or should remove CWM apps or leave them installed? I paid for CWM touch. No biggie I spend more for a coffee at Starbucks.
Is it OK to leave both installed and to go back and forth between the two recoveries if needed? Is anyone keeping both available?
I understand the backups are not interchangeable.

Yes I would leave both back ups installed because you never know if twrp will mess up or clwmod but I highly doubt clwmod will. They are not interchangeable but clwmod can be flashed through rom manager in case your twrp fails and your not near your PC. I wouldn't use rom manager for nothing else but to flash clwmod its very unstable.

This is what I want to know and I'm hoping for a very experienced xda member to help me make my decision. I have problems making decisions when I don't have enough info or I'm not satisfied with the info I have read. I have scoured google and I have read as much as I can on the differences but there's not much on which is better. My last question is if I choose to go back to clockwmod and if I do it won't be touch is it better to flash a zip or can I count on rom manager to flash it because I won't use it to do anything else only because im a firm believer in if you can't flash manually then you shouldn't be flashing.

TWRP for now...
Had CWM for my old optimus one and install it on my S2X first when i bought it... but recently change to TWRP and it's big improvement for the GUI... No more need to flash Darkside Wipe Cache and Darkside Full WIpe... For now it's working fine, but some people says they almost brick their phone with TWRP...don't know why... i'm still little nervous with it...
In my opinion twrp is the best. The openscript support, and also the flashing of multiple zips is great.
TWRP because it is easier to use, and you can flash multiple zips.
Cwm i gotta go the safe route cause im a noob.
hey guys so my sister bought the Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 (T-Mobile one) and she is using it in canada with the wind network .. the phone is nice but that blaotware is an noying (the wifi hotspot doesnt work ...) the wifi calling and ect ... now i do have some android experiance cause i own the G Nexus and its so simple to flash roms on here now what worries me is the samsung flash coutn and ect .. if soemone doesnt mind can you tell me which rom would be best, stock-like maybe performance increased? better batt life? clean, stock, slim, no bloat? ive downloaded the tool kit, id take the time to read but i want to set it up for her tmr and i have other stuff i have to do so if someone wouldnt mind taking the time pointing me in the right direction or writing me a mini-guide thanks!
First of all before you start going crazy, you can disable almost all of the bloat by going to Application manager. Unless your sister hates Touchwiz I'd leave it as stock. On the other hand if you're certain you want to flash a rom, there is an app to reset the flash counter called triangle away. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
Development has all of the links in stickies.
She can use a launcher if she doesn't like Touchwiz.
Personally, I would not do this for her - not to be mean, but because if she can't do it and doesn't understand the risks and responsibilities of having a rooted phone, she could get into more trouble than just having bloatware.
If she wants to root, show her a guide. Answer questions. Help her find resources. But the worst thing you can do is to do everything for her. That's great if you just want to make a quick $25 from a random idiot friend/coworker - but unless you hate your sister, I'd focus on teaching her, not doing everything for her.

If you haven't found it yet, go to Application manager swipe over to the right until you get to all, and click on and then disable anything that looks like bloat.
You can also use titanium backup or rom toolbox to freeze bloat apps. But I wouldn't root and flash rom for her because she can break her phone if she would start going in places she shouldn't. Explain her the dangers of rooting and flashing, show her what she can do and what not with rooted phone. Explain which apps should be granted su permissions and which not. Teach her basics of advanced Android phone use and if she decides to go with it then flash rom and maybe we will have new member to xda family
As to the rom, if she decides to go with it, I recommend FrostyJB. But don't rush with flashing it, my own sister almost broke my rooted sgs vibrant when she was using it because she had no idea what she was doing. So teach her first then flash for her

You guys are a bit exaggerating, I installed a rom on my sisters g2x and all she has to do is not mess with super user app. Someone who doesn't know about rooting wouldn't install a rooting app meaning won't have to mess with apps that gives you permissions. It's a big responsibility but not so much if someone is planning to stay on one rom forever. Heck I even showed her how to get into recovery and clear cache, fix permissions keep in mind she's far from being android literate. So as long as he explains the Basics she will be fine.

For me, CWM is ok, but it lacks the spice of TWRP. On the other hand, TWRP is like a cheap ass Android phone. It works, but completely ruins the experience. This is like CWM on steroids. If you read the OP it says 99% of it is open, just not the touch code like CWM. I feel that this is what I have personally been missing in a recovery.

I don't quite understand what the "spice of TWRP" and the "experience" of Android in a recovery are. To me, the two recoveries do the same thing; the only reason I use TWRP is that it is touch, and I have had bad experiences with broken buttons from overuse. So I need to agree with pirateghost; I don't see the appeal.

Compared to non touch ? Not really, I've started using it because I wanted to save the button wear, but since 4.1.2 I'm not seeing the recovery much anyway (using stock Google image). I tried TWRP, but went back quickly, since I was more familiar with CWM and didn't want to waste time relearning/trying something that I wasn't aware of how it all works when needed.
As for regarding recovery "features" some would probably want working radio in it and use it as a phone ...

Cwm is rock solid. Twrp has bugs(backup/restore especially) and lacks dev support.

Wow. Didn't expect these comments. Here's my 2 cents. I started with cwm on my DX, then got touch cwm, then started to do aosp on all my phones really started with the gnex. Once I got my gnex ran aosp ever since. Have 3 s3,s as well. Twrp all the way. Never had issues and last checked it was faster. But then again. I haven't used cwm in years

I prefer TWRP, used to use CWM and it never failed me, so I will not complain, it's a preference. My bigger question would be, how would I move a file in recovery to another recovery if I wanted to have a few recovery options? Example, have the original backup on OUDHS and then switch to TWRP, how do you move that file? Sorry, not trying to hijack, but this thread seems like a good place for this kind of a question.
Had alot issues with twrp restoring nands, I went to cwm on my s3.
Twrp it points to backups that get put into the "0 "partition instead of the way it used to let u restore from external sd...in my opinion the multiple user partitions that now get created in custom recovery since jellbean is a huge headache. .. ive lost plenty of backups.. and no thanks to flashing cm10, downgrading to move all info back to internal storage is a train wreck ... I hate the way it is all set up now ..
Twrp benefit is its touch based and u can name your backups.
Cwm seems better but not as pretty.

Easiest way, save a backup with each recovery, that way, when the need arises to switch recoveries, you have it saved.

Ohh no, it's nothing to do with my APN settings; it's the area which I live. I'm on AT&T service, and within about a 20 mile radius of my home I'm on EDGEand spotty 3G. My home internet is only 2Mbps down/ .25 up, so that's out too. It's just a case of bad location.
But thanks anyway!

TMO S4 on AT&T service... I jump around between the two, whatever peaks my interest I read/reply.
I prefer TWRP. I've never had a problem with it, very reliable. In my experience, it is very well supported and updated frequently. Not to say CWM is bad, it always worked for me as well.
TWRP for me!
I recently used rumrunner to gain s-off and root and I flashed CWM recovery. I have read different posts stating CWM is flaky on the One, and I've also read posts saying TWRP is flaky. Can anyone clear this up?
I've used TWRP on almost every device I've had and have never had an issue with it. I'm currently using TWRP with no issues.

I used TWRP and had no problems. I'm a noob at all this and I couldn't have asked for it to have been easier.

Cwm is flaky period not just on the one. Twrp has been the only real choice for years.

I have had nothing but good luck with CWM myself.

TWRP and Story time
I'm currently using TWRP with no issues, and never had any, starting way back on the OG Evo.
I do remember installing clockwork on the old school T-Mobile G1 (Dream) and I didn't have any issues. Koush spearheaded the recovery project for us, he will always have that title of being the 'first' with his clockworkmod's. (a tip of the hat to Koush)
Reminds me a little of this story I learned a while back. I heard it was true too...
The importance of a beginning in anything isn't always about that first product or creation in the project. The importance is whether the original design and goal is met at the end and/or in the end product. I.E. Adam.
He was the first to be created of humanity but the original purpose for his creation did not meet all of the requirements of his Creator. Instead of scrapping the original product and starting anew, there was a plan to restore and rectify on the original project, or as i like to call it, the original "storyline".
The similarity of this story to the OP takes a turn here. Where as Koush didn't fully rectify his original product (Clockworkmod) and make a better one, the Creator of humanity did indeed follow up on His promise to begin in the restoration of the original design of His story: the "Second Adam".
One was born from the dust of the earth (ie 'first' Adam; the other birthed from the Spirit of God in Heaven ('Second' Adam).
The first Adam was born perfect but ultimately failed in its original design and purpose. But alas, One had come, the Second Adam, who did not fall or fail, but came, conquered ,and was victorious in all that man was suppose to represent and so so much more...
I use cwm just because I like it better, I've had no issues so far with it. Once 4ext is available I'll be using that, best I've used to date.

Truthfully I was CWM all day every phone no matter what.
I wouldn't even give TWRP a chance, once I did though, I never looked back, haven't been back on CWM since either.
I do have a gripe with a menu set up. Nothing major and enough for me to change. I highly suggest TWRP.
I like TWRP more. Better UI, navigation and features. That said, I use CWM. After experiencing bugs and instability with TWRP on the S4, I returned to the recovery that has never failed me, CWM.

I use TWRP and have no complaints. Never did with CWM either. The winner for me is TWRP though, because I like being able to add multiple zip files to flash at once instead of flashing them one at-a-time with CWM, not a big deal but saves some time.
I would love to see 4ext make a comeback. Best recovery ever.

I just actually received an email from max about 4ext for the One. In short - the framework of his recovery needs an overhall to work with the larger resolutions, multi-cores, etc. He has a lot of work ahead of him so if he does try to revamp it for the One it will be some time. But I would switch from TWRP to 4ext in a heartbeat...handsdown the best.

I used cwm with the original droid and it worked fine but when newer phones came out I noticed issues like on my dinc and bolt I had backups that was corrupted and I wasn't happy and moved to twrp and never had an issue since. I did move to 4ext with the bolt and that must say was the best over all. I miss 4ext when I got rid of the bolt but hope it comes to the one soon. It was so user friendly.
I've used CWM on my HP tablet, installed on a few other phones. Honestly, I've never given TWRP a chance. Is there anything I'm missing by not using it. I guess I'm just more used to the look and feel of CWM
