There are two available right now! \\:D/ a cm6 port, and Gingercherry (a stock gingerbread build). I assume neopeek's cm7 port will be released in the next couple days and hopefully tiad's BLAZN too

Re: ClockworkMod Recovery [Released]
 

Just reminding everyone that this will not work on NAND as ACL made us his own recovery (which ultimately inspired neopeek to port CWM to Haret).

Also, though some of Tiad's stuff is interesting, he is not the creator of the BLAZN builds. That's yet another thing he took and claimed as his own. Every time I see NAND related content from him, it's a direct copy/paste of something ACL or I said without giving us credit for that work. I'd be very cautious of anything NAND related from him.

Re: ClockworkMod Recovery [Released]
 

Im sorry for my newbie-ness, but what does clockworkmod recovery mean. I tried to understand from the link you posted but still couldnt figure it out. Figured I'd ask here instead of starting a new post.

Re: ClockworkMod Recovery [Released]
 

CWM is the most popular recovery replacement from which you can install new system images. This is almost the same as installing a new ROM on Windows Mobile. CWM also offers other options like clearing the dalvik cache, wiping the data partition, and doing incremental updates on the system rather than replacing the whole thing. You can do things like install all of your favorite applications using an update.zip which makes it much easier to get your phone set back up after installing a new system.

I tried Gingercherry, but had a lot of force closes. Haven't tried CM6 yet. Froyo X Ginger loaded and runs very smooth, but I'm having trouble downloading apps from Marketplace (causes an Android reboot).

Re: ClockworkMod Recovery [Released]
 

Neopeek working on CWM was definitely inspired by ACL, he said so in his post.

I decided to look at tiad's site, it's a hilarious copypasta. I don't think he did anything original on that site, it's all ctrl-c ctrl-v. Our FAQ for example was just copypasta'd. As nate said, a lot of the NAND stuff was just copypasta'd. Sad really.

Anyhoo, I posted a CM7 build with ClockWorkMod. Definitely needs some lovin, going to try to give it some more ;). CWM is a spiffy way to update ROMs, but it's a little depressing on SD since rebooting goes back to WinMo :p.

Re: ClockworkMod Recovery [Released]
 

Interesting, Wish i still had my TP2 to try some of this stuff.

Just a reminder Tiad8's work is no longer welcome here.

Chat about it is fine, but lets not post his copy pasta.

I'm waiting for a CWM version of cherry pie or gingercherry; I hope there's a version of Froyo B also; these are all very smooth builds that make my Tp2 feel like a native android device.

There is going to be a Cherry pie V4 for Clockworkmod released soon.

Thanks. I saw that. I donated to the neopeek site so I was able to go to the Donators' section and there's a v3 version that neopeek uploaded; I haven't had the time to try it out yet.

Re: ClockworkMod Recovery [Released]
 

lol i didnt even know about this. Just found out about it today.

Neopeek updated Clockworkmod to Version 1.6, Fixed Market issues.

Re: ClockworkMod Recovery [Released]
 

what are the different builds i would use with CWM? do i just download normal builds or are there special CWM builds because i know we need the .zip files. Also which build would you guys suggest. I was thinking about Gingercherry V2 but the change log on neopeek says incoming calls arent working? Let me know what you guys suggest.

Thanks.

Re: ClockworkMod Recovery [Released]
 

In theory you can take any looped build's system.ext2 file and make a .zip out of it to install with CWM.

I tried to do so with FRX06 and it was a FCfest. I might've done something wrong, another individual PM'd me that he was successful, as others have been - so assuming I can get it to work, I'll update the FRX06 threads with CWM info and a .zip to install with.

Re: ClockworkMod Recovery [Released]
 

Can we use the testing kernel & ril in it to use? I really like both of them.

Re: ClockworkMod Recovery [Released]
 

I don't see why not. Just different ways to implement them. (Well, the kernel would be the same... but implementing the RIL/rootfs changes will be different.)

Re: ClockworkMod Recovery [Released]
 

Thanks for the answer~

Re: ClockworkMod Recovery [Released]
 

i havent gotten any of the builds to work properly i am using the npkboot folder and placing Wistilts kernel with the startup from neopeeks files. then i placed the update file from gingercherry on the root of the sdcard. i just get a bunch force closes and then the phone just restart to WM. anybody have a stable setup for this?

Try using the stock setup by neopeek. Use the latest version 1.6.

Re: ClockworkMod Recovery [Released]
 

i think the Wistilts kernal might be your problem. Use the one thats stock in CWM 1.6. I've gotten at least half a doze roms running very well

Re: ClockworkMod Recovery [Released]
 

Nope, I would say it's not stable.

I tried it with FRX06, and eventually it did seem to settle out - but the first few boots were FC city.

I don't really see any tangible benefits - I know neopeek listed some, but I don't really think they're worth the effort. No offense to his efforts, he obviously worked hard to get it working... but it seems like a lot of work for very little reward.

Using a GUI recovery like CWM becomes necessary with NAND, but I don't see the point on SD card installs. To each their own.

Re: ClockworkMod Recovery [Released]
 

Ya, i kinda agree. I think the main reason he did it was to make it easier for devs to make roms, but the rom development on his site sorta died about two weeks before cwm's release and hasn't picked up since. Its nice to be able to backup and restore, but less useful when there are so few roms.

Re: ClockworkMod Recovery [Released]
 

How do you install a new completely different build (example going from CherryPie to Gingerbread)? Can I just run the gingerbread zip from my SD card or do I have to completely wipe all 4 partitions somehow? I'm getting an installation stopped/aborted trying to install different builds.

Re: ClockworkMod Recovery [Released]
 

Format at least data and system. You obviously don't have to wipe the FAT32 partition, that would be bad, and cache - is pretty much useless.

It's in the menu options, can't remember the exact sequence but yea... format data and sys if you're switching builds. If you're just upgrading a build, I would imagine you can keep data and just wipe the system partition.

Re: ClockworkMod Recovery [Released]
 

can this method of preparing to load another build be confirmed?
let me get this straight,just initialize cwm wipe data and sys then load up new update zip?
i would like to try this but dont want to screw up a perfectly running build

Re: ClockworkMod Recovery [Released]
 

Well if you're switching builds, then that's exactly what you're doing - screw up a perfectly running build :p.

Seriously tho, formatting data and sys will start over. Wipe them clean. So anything from your current build will be gone, bulldozed - so you can then install a new build.

Re: ClockworkMod Recovery [Released]
 

I'm sure you already know this but, backup your current build using CWM before you clear the data and system partitions. If you don't like the new build, clear the partitions again and restore the good build. Very easy to do.

Re: ClockworkMod Recovery [Released]
 

Ah yes, I should've mentioned this. Perhaps one of the best features of CWM ;).

Thanks for the very informative responses guys, it was a bit intimidating to use cwm at first but it is a wonderful tool that I am now confident enough to explore further...thanx a mill!

Glad to hear you got it figured out.
