This is gweedo767's touch recovery ported to the skyrocket/hercules. Because many people have been asking me what the difference between this one and the version that koush put out here is the difference:
This one is open source.
This one has swipe gestures (up,down,left,right)
This one has different UI settings
This one has soft keys on the bottom of the screen
This one has 2 different options of font
Here is a youtube video I made of how it works:------>VIDEO
4 ways to use recovery:
volume rockers
soft keys on bottom of screen
capacitive buttons
swipe gestures (up/down = scroll && left = back && right = select)
HOW TO INSTALL:

Test Drive:
Quote:
CWMRT5504_TEST-4.3.zip(NEW ICS BACKGROUND): -------------------> BLUE-FONT CWMRT5504_TEST-4.3.zip(NEW ICS BACKGROUND): -------------------> ROBOTO-FONT (This will not alter ANY files on your phone. It is just a test drive basically. You flash it through ClockworkMod that you have already installed and it runs over it showing you how it would be if you did install it. Once you reboot you will still have the same recovery that you had.)

Code:
- Initial release

v4.0
Code:

- fixed sd-ext and .android_secure errors in backup
v4.1
Code:
- re-arranged order of "install from internal/external sdcard" to put internal first

what is the difference between this one and the one that was posted a few weeks ago? I see this is 5.5.0.4 and the other is 5.8.1.3 so does that mean that this is older or is the other older? I am just a little confused sorry for the noob questions.

np. are you talking about the one from koush? from rom manager? so that one is all 'tap' to select. and it seems all cluttered and hard to use for me. this one has swipe gestures and soft keys on the bottom and this one is actually open source (heaven forbid koush make his open source....) which means that if there are aspects that people want changed we can go in and change them freely, which has been done already. yes, this one is a lower version but there are no real changes in the 2 builds. try this one out and see for yourself the difference and let me know if you do or do not like it (hopefully you do ) and if you dont you can easily go back to the one you had before.

have backups/restores been tested to work pretty solidly? I only read that the interface navigation had been tested.

Just a little confused...did you use the original CWM Touch from Koush's or is this (yours?) a brand new development? Nonetheless I'll try it out and see which is better for me

Thanks for posting (and developing?)
so i used the source gweedo767 made but he made it for the galaxy nexus so i ported it to work with the skyrocket/hercules. it was alot of work.
anyone who does not want to install please try out the fakeflash zip file in the OP. there is absolutely no chance of anything happening to your phone by flashing this as it is just a test flash. it will let you experience how the real install is but will not change ANY files on your phone.

This recovery does indeed charge the phone's battery. Updates to the % are driven by updates to the screen it seems - scroll a bit to refresh the battery charge reading.
