I came from a samsung infuse where TWRP didnt integrate well with most roms. So I am partial to cwm. Should I wait till cwm or TWRP are dominated here? It seems as if TWRP is the dominate one so far. What are your thoughts on the two?

i always liked twrp purely bc of the touch interface i hated haviong to use volume keys to navigate cwm
Both are great!!!!!!

Used both for quite a while TWRP is just laid out better and thus ends up being easier to use.

I am currently running the classic CWM recovery but I am tempted to switch to 4ext Touch. I am wondering if it is worth it to make the change.
I like the idea of being able to use touch screen instead of the volume keys, but I don't know how well it works.
CWM has never caused me one issue, so I have been sticking with the "if it's not broke, don't fix it" method.
What does everyone think? Is 4ext Touch Recovery the recovery that everyone is using? Or should i stick with the classic CWM?
TWRP
I would recommend switching to TWRP (you can install it using menu->install openscript recovery in goomanager from the play store). It is touch like 4ext but has a nicer interface (imo).
I felt the same way but tried ext4 and never looked back works well with ics also.
I was the same way but I like the layout and options that 4ext has so I switched

I switched also. Bought the full version and love it. Much more user friendly then cwm and it seems to run quicker too!

Yea. It seems like it takes less time to do a backup and other things.

I'd switch, the free version is full of features, it runs quite smoothly and is faster than stock cwm. I've been using it since madmaxx came out with the touch version and I've never had a problem. Also max is an awesome dev, answers questions in hos thread all the time.

Thanks for this info . I hate having to use the volume buttons in CWM. On the Inc1 I could move around very fast with the trackpad but the Inc2 it takes more time....
Thanks for the responses. Seems like the touch recovery of choice is actually TWRP.
Now, when running the script, does it just overwrite the CWM image? So next time I manually boot recovery it will no longer be CWM?
That's how it was when I ran 4ext

I feel I have tried every ROM that our S3 section has to offer. But honestly, I think Samsung did a fantastic job on making the stock ROM. I always find myself going back to stock. But after switching back to stock I miss the simple things that are helpful. Such as a modded power menu, so that I can get into recovery. Is there anywhere where I can find this mod? Or would any devs give me something I could flash? I'm wanting to stay on LI8 (until further update). Could anyone help me with this?

I use Quick boot from the market, it has options for booting to recovery and download mode. The app doesn't show up in the power menu, but it's easy to use.

Li8 is not stock, it's a leak. Fyi.

I just purchased the GS3 and rooted it with CWM. I have used TWRP on my N7 and GS2. I want to get some opinions on which is better for the GS3 or if it matters at all.

Non is better or worse. It's what you like. I've always used CWM. But I might try TWRP. It's not hard switching so just pick one try it if you don't like it switch.

Just switched from CWM and TWRP seems to be better for now. IMO. TWRP has file manager and backup naming options. Those come in handy. Otherwise they are somewhat same

The backup naming is what i would find useful. For the file manager, its horribly sloppy and slow. i prefer aroma file manager. Its awesome.
Never tried the file manager but like the backup naming option. Think im going with TWRP for now I like the touch abilities. Thanks for the feedback

Did they ever fix the keyboard closing for no reason that has plagued for 6 months? You're typing a filename... keyboard just closes, have to start over.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
In TWRP while naming a backup. The keyboard would randomly close. Many people have complained about this in the past. It's the biggest reason I use CWM, actually.
Used CWM for galaxy tab and s 2 ; i start getting error on s 2 so i swichted to TWRP . its nice.
Idk if that was only my phone issue but on CWM sometime it used to be not responsive . specially it would be pain in back while flashing roms.
So u switched but both are awesome.

Used cwr for a while but had some minor graphical glitches on some roms, switched to twrp and have had no such issues. I have no idea if that was actually what was causing the issues though.

Yeah I used to get disabled button on cwm often with my s2. Put twrp on the s3 today works great now all I have to do is debloat alot of apps id never use

CWM was great but I think TWRP is a bit better right now with the ability to queue up zips and then clear cache after.
You can install goomanager and use the context button you can do "Install Openrecovery script" to install TWRP.
Twrp its cleaner and automatic things

I just updated my phone yesterday, and im having two issues. The main issue is the flasshing red boarder around the entire screen the appears mostly when switching apps, going home, and turning on/off. It even happens during the boot-up.
Second, my keyboard is lagging. I have all of the "feedback" features turned off and it still does it. No 3rd party boards installed. I really like the new keyboard and I wont have some third party app developers recording every keystroke.
Any ideas?

I wasn't aware there even was on OTA update to 4.1.1. Far as I knew you could only do it through Kies. Maybe try redoing it through that? Or find the stock image on here and flash it through Odin.

Check the developer options. One of them is set to update when the screen draws. Just disable anything in there you don't need.

It was due to user error.
I had strick mode on for some reason.
Glad to know it was something so little.

It was a dubuging feature turned on.
4.1 is available OTA for AT&T right now.
I dont know when it became available, but its really nice. I use adw pro launcher always on all my android devices so I dont get the full experience of 4.1. I really love what they did with the keyboard and the dropdown, but I really wish they kept the data switch there.
My battery life is not as good anymore though...
Anyway, let me know if its not available to you.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Nvmnd it didnt completely fix the problem.
It doesnt do it nearly as much, but its still there. I will redo from kies.

Well, I brought myself to removing my CM10.2 and trying the MIUI ROM. It was a very slick, very smooth ROM. I overall enjoyed it. But with it being a ROM of course it had a few minor bugs. And I did have a few dislikes. So I'm gonna list a few things I personally noticed about it. Fell free to post your thoughts and any resolutions to anything I'm gonna lay out.
PROS:
-a smooth, soft feeling touch that was full of color and a very nice setup. The was miui was set up in settings for example was on of a kind. I was not disappointed. The theme app that was there gave me full control of changing the status bar, lock screen, home screen, etc. You have full control of customization. WiFi also seemed to work just fine.
CONS:
- Sadly, my LTE didn't appear to work. I tried adjusting my setting to fix it. No avail and that kinda was frustrating. But with WiFi working it didn't pose to much of a issue. I also experienced to apps for my gallery, and I was unable to delete it because it was a system app. Some of the themes I downloaded froze my phone, causing me to remove my battery and restart my phone. I wasn't bothered by it to much, I'm rather used to having to do that with previous phone.
Over all if you like a fresh and fast ROM you will love MIUI. But with these few issues I went back to cm. As I need my LTE cause my phone is also a work phone and I need the fastest internet I can get. So feel free to post your thoughts on MIUI and any fixes. Because I would like to switch back and continue using MIUI.

LTE works you just have to select it in settings when you first flash the rom because it doesn't default on. Reason there are 2 galleries is because MIUI has its own gallery and since we have to use 4.2 camera it comes with its only gallery also hide one in a folder if you dont like one. And theme issue I've never experienced this

Thanks for the advice. Looking forward to flashing back and getting it sorted out

I love the visual development compared to all other ROM.
Looks great.. but I'm still in love with AOSP.
Right out of the box, I think MIUI looks a lot like ios . Maybe too much.
It is a great ROM though, and very user-friendly.
Could I see a screen shot of the phone? Keypad, in call. These are things people over look, but this is our phone is it not? For most if not everyone on here, the only phone they use.
