Introduction
Hey guys, welcome to my new project. I've been working to port swipe gestured cwm recovery for the past week. It's working good now so I've thought of sharing it :)

How to Use
  • swipe up/down to change selection
  • swipe left to go back
  • swipe right to execute selected menu

For users having touch issue
Those who have touch problems can use the soft key button.
  • back button is UP
  • menu button is DOWN
  • home button is SELECT
  • for going back, you can use camera focus button

Installation:
Note : For Rooted & Unlocked Bootloader Only
Note : For 4.4 ROM (should work on older version of android upto 4.1). I only tested with AOSX. So please provide feedback

1) Download the latest zip file.
2) Extract it in a folder and place your current rom's boot.img inside that folder. (it must be named boot.img)
3) Connect your phone with PC. (adb must be working)
4) Open your command line and cd to that folder
5) For linux users, type
Code: 
chmod 755 run_me.sh
./run_me.sh

For windows users, type
Code: 
run_me.bat

new boot.img file will be created in the current directory named new_boot.img. Power off your phone and flash the boot image.
Code: 
fastboot flash boot new_boot.img

To ROM makers

if you include it in your ROM, please give proper credits.Thanks.

F.A.Q

If you encounter error like "cmdline out of range" in the terminal, then after executing run_me; type this in the terminal
Code: 
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp/boot/
kernel_make zImage initrd.gz cmdline boot.img
then copy the boot.img to your desktop and flash it.

ok.. stupid question mayde.. i get the "cmdline out of range" error and after executing run_me I type the commands and finally I get tha message "target file boot.img is patched succesfully, enjoy new kernel" but where is this boot.img stored so I can grab it and flash it? I am searching my androd folders and can not locate it.. probably I have not understand it or what..?

EDIT: ok. the problem was that folders were not mounted as writable and were not visible.
anyway. thank you!

we use volume down to enter recovery !!!!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

not even with volume down works.
here is what I do. after extracting boot.img, I flash it via flashtool and fastboot mode and it gives me the "OK' sign. I power on device and on SONY logo I keep pressing volume down, enters for a second in recovery and restarts again to boot normally cause it can not enter recovery.
I think I am gonna give it up..

After sony logo, led bar will light up with red, yellow, green light. Then it'll vibrate and pressing volume button will trigger recovery. If not, then you have done something wrong. Follow instruction properly, use command line not flashtool. Also this is mainly for kitkat roms, I don't know if it'll work properly on previous android versions.
