In which version of CWM did they lock it down? It works fine in thor's 1.7, and in hbwelches version that was built for the A200 (can't remember which version he based it on).

It also works on fine on my Sprint Epic Touch 4G using a custom built CWM (not from ROM Manager). I created a test script myself and it ran fine. That was based on 5.0.2.4 I believe. I have 5.0.2.8 installed now, i'll try it again with that one and see.

extendedcommand support really isn't much more than looking for the file and executing it like any edify script. package_extract type commands shouldn't be allowed, since it's not part of a package, but things like ui_print, format, run_program, install_zip, set_permission, symlink, etc.. shouldn't be too hard to do.

I've been trying to find more info on how Open Recovery Script works. To see if i can use that.

If you find some interesting documentation/websites, would you mind sharing them here?

Although i would prefer normal extendedcommand support in twrp because seen the comments on review.cyanogenmod there is no change open recovery script will get merger to cwm. Besides that, if I understood it correctly, extendedcommand is not limited at all to rommanager. Kouch just changed his licence statement in the code to stipulate that.

If anyone has used the beta2.99 from the OP, I'd love some feedback. Any problems? Working fine? Please be specific. Thanks.

I just tried it, works fine although i had to read the op here again to realize i needed to put the recovery image in the correct directory. A small embedded browser would be nice. Or at least a help function/about under the overflow menu.
I used it to flash thor 1.7 cwm over twrp, without auto reboot to recovery. I have used the free market function only once before so i can't really tell you the differences/improvements.

Acer A500 btw.

I forgot to this mention in the OP. To install a recovery that's not automatically downloaded by the app, you place it in the root of your external sdcard and name it "recovery.img" (just like the old version). HOWEVER, if you don't have an external sdcard, then it looks in /sdcard/.AcerRecoveryInstaller instead.

I'm going to work on this more for beta2 and have it able to use multiple custom images. So you can have one or more additional recovery images instead of just "recovery.img"

I guess it's possible, for whatever reason, the sdcard didn't mount that one time. If that happens again, please PM me the file located at /cache/recovery/last_log after it boots back into android.

Thanks!
