The Clockworkmod recovery is working on our X8 now

The package script for CWM recovery is different from xRecovery, don't try to flash xRecovery script with CWM recovery, errors might occur
If you want to create update.zip for CWM recovery, please go to here.
Use the attached update-binary which is modified and tested to work correctly with this recovery.

If is possible you can copy part of chargemon script to other chargemon of custom Rom and overwrite xrecovery script. So your custom zips will work with custom rom.
