GPL Compliant Recovery - Beta1 available

---

Post removed no more work planned I don't need the aggravation.

Just downloaded. Will install in a minute.

I guess I will be the noob first. What is the gpl? And what is the difference in the2? And how do I install this, do I just flash it? Or do I unroot then install?

research.

It is flashed like a rom no special preparations should be necessary like I said this is a test release don't go bricking your device

Many thanks! Hope to see some of the features in thor's recovery ported to a GPL compliant recovery (mainly OC and ability to see internal & external

I thought I understood this stuff but maybe I don't. CWM is just recovery, and doesn't run on a kernel, no? I have CWM installed and can flash any kernel, yes?

Every recovery has a kernel in it. It needs that to work properly. The kernel inside of it though can be different then the one you use with Android.

Seems to work perfectly. Thanks!

Hm, this recovery looks good. I've got an Acer 501, so I'm going to test it as soon as I copy it over. Hopefully it doesn't brick! :P

Haha as long as you wont be using your 3g radio in recovery you'll do fine blazingwolf reports that the nandroid features are broken so be aware of that
