Tip and tricks for my CWM version:
- Did you know about our CWM that you can change menu and text colors, backgrounds? Yes you can do it by puting menu.txt into ramdisk /res/images folder by writing to menu.txt for example:
122,122,122,255,255,255
First 3 numbers is rgb color for menu and seccond 3 numbers is rgb color for text !!! - Here is some creative skins done to my HTC HD2 recovery by mlkjuggalo:
