[Q] RECOVERY battle...

Hey guys I'm torn between "CWM" & "TWRP"
I've always used CMW, never tried TWRP
I would just like some of your guy's different OPINION'S on the Two RECOVERIES
Any PROS?
Any CONS?
Thanks Guys
Michael :highfive:

They are both good at doing the same thing. It is personal preference really.

CWM. It allows you to disable stock recovery and keep root when you OTA update through it. That alone is more than enough for me. The only downside is the UI is terrible.

I love the UI of CWM, TWRP looks so sloppy and unprofessional in my opinion.

No big difference if you have a gs3 but if you have an htc that has no s-off then twrp is way better cuz allows you to flash kernels via recovery while if yiu had cwm installed you would need to flash kernel manually by connecting your htc tk the computer and having it in bootloader mode.

Go to dev section. Go to TWRP 2.3.3.0 thread. Download the .zip file in the OP. Flash it when you are in CWM.
You did the impossible and now you will always go into TWRP.

Go here

Hey hey hey yuyuyuyu1 why not thank cricketAC he gave you the same answer as LoopDogg... that aint right! His answer is 100% correct only thing he did not do is hold your hand with a link. No disrespect to LoopDogg at all.
A little research and reading and in any recovery thread would of given you the answer and too me its so much more gratifying when you figure stuff out for yourself and honestly going from one recovery to another is as simple if not simpler than flashing a rom. Remember though you can not restore from another recovery...

I'm planning to replace CWR with TWRP and ROM Manager with GooManager. After I install GooManager and TWRP, will I need to manually delete the backups made by CWR (blobs etc.)?

Yes, if you want space on your internal storage (or wherever you're storing them). Better off deleting them because they're not compatible anyways.
Just delete the clockwork folder in your internal storage or SD card.

So is Twrp actually the better recovery to use as apposed to cwm?

I've personally found TWRP to be more consistent than CWM's touch interface... (use it on ~ 3 devices a this point... T989, T999, and hp touchpad..)
Works pretty well...

It's all up to preference honestly. I haven't had any issues with all the available recoveries but I prefer CWM 5.0.2.7 because of the Darkside scripts. (They were made specifically for CWM 5.0.2.7, but also work with TWRP last time I checked.) Never had an issue with the recovery and all the ROMs I've flashed have all worked perfectly well.

Good advice re: deleting CWM
I tried to flash a CWM recovery (not realizing it was a CWM recovery) with TWRP, and it was a mess.
I agree re: figuring it out for yourself. (I de-bricked my KF2 yesterday, thanks to a Xubuntu - Adb tutorial.)
You guys are lifesavers for Noobs like me.

Sure Here it is : http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=16046#files

Its a problem with the updated touch drivers from base 3.16 and higher up.
Twrp has a working touch one but the ums is broken. Only the philz recovery is fully working as of yet ..... afaik
The only thing is that ums takes a long time to mount. In my case around 40 seconds. That's all.
Ow and i also sent you a link by pm

Thanks

No matter.
Edit: for the cwm, search on google "temporary cwm for galaxy ace2".

And also the fact about Rom Manger: it bricks your phone
It need a link with a good and stable CWM

Ok,thanks, managed to finally root. But what's the thing with CWM temporary? Do I have to install it every time I want to use it?

Yep. But if you install cyanogen or some other custom rom you will have permanent one.

Cwm or philz recovery

Has anyone started or thought developing one of these recoveries? I'd be happy to test them out

Do you have a problem with twrp? It's the preferred recovery for HTC in my experience and certainly has far more development behind it over here.
