Also, is there a specific CWM version that needs to be installed?

should work for any cwm based recovery (not the official ones, there is a check in the official ones, that allows only rommanager that feature)
and, if I say any, I mean any of the newer edify only versions (i think cwm v4+ )

there might be problems with the sdcard paths though on other devices...

Does "wipe cache" wipe the Dalvik cache as well?

wipe cache only formats the cache partition
wipe data+cache formats data and cache
dalvik cache is located in data,
going to take a look at this

Imagine how cool it would be if you always had a Nandroid that was <24 hrs old! I'm always reinstalling a 1 week old version, lol.

I was going to flash your Counter Reset zip file and at first it wouldn't. I had that cache failure error at the bottom of your Touch CWM and it just sat on the opening screen of CWM.

Wiped cache once, rebooted, tried it again and it worked great. I guess the cache error stops it from continuing.

I flashed it from the external sdcard so that works well.

I've uploaded 0.2

that adds some options, some minor gui changes

this might also make this app more likely to work with other phones (especially ones with only an external sd)

- wipe is now also "standalone"
- dalvik-cache wipe is now selectable (through the standalone)
- backup is now also standalone

the space on the backup seems unused, but I'll try to add some kind of scheduling service when I have time...

i might also need to rewrite the whole app, its getting a pain in the ass to stuff the new functionality in there ;)

I tried to use this to install the "14 toggle" update for stock ROMs. Everything seemed to work fine (phone shutdown, CWM seemed to run, phone restarted) but it didn't install in the end. I have the touch based CWM... is this GUI not compatible with the touch version of CWM?

hmmmm...
did you install from internal or external zip?

also, can you grab the following two files after you've tried that:

/cache/recovery/log
/cache/recovery/last_log

and send them to braway@gmail.com
thanks

    Android GUI for ClockworkMod Based Recoveries

    Disclaimer
    I'm not responsible for any damages to your phone. Neither am I responsible, if the phone becomes alive, runs away, dominates or kills you ;P
    Also, if you don't know how to flash this, then you probably shouldn't... just saying...

    What is this?
    This is a simple android application, which makes the most common features available in android, without having to reboot manually to recovery. (Not ALL features!)

    Latest release: 0.4 - 2012-04-22

    Changelog

    0.4 - 2012-04-22 (Download)
    - added reboot to download mode option (i717 only)
    - added backup scheduling, including optional confirm dialog to cancel in the last 10 seconds

    0.3 - 2012-04-19 (Download)
    - added reboot recovery option (if you don't have it in the shutdown menu)
    - bugfix: non i717 devices should now be able to install zips

    0.2 - 2012-04-18 (Download)
    - added "menu" infront of the sd select with
    - backup is selectable alone now
    - wipe is selectable alone now (including wipe dalvik)
    - added check for i717
    -> if it is not a i717, only "external" sdcard should be available, which "mounts" to /sdcard
    - back button now goes back, doesn't exits anymore (except from the start view)

    0.1 - 2012-04-12 (Download)
    - initial release

    Known Bugs
    - you can add folders to the install queue (doesn't make sense...)

    How to use
    - Select a zip, click on it to add it to the install queue (and repeat if wanted)
    - click on the zip again, to remove it from the queue again
    - after you've selected all zips you want to flash, click on "Install Queue"
    - long click allows you to add/remove the zip from the queue
    - clicking on apks allows you to install them (if it is enabled)
    - In the Install Queue:
    - long press allows you to remove an item
    - if more than one zip is in the queue, you can re-arrange the installation order
    - checking the backup button, allows you to create a backup before installation (to the selected device)
    - selecting the wipe mode, will wipe after the zips are installed

    Please report bugs with as much detail as possible, and preferably in a separate paragraph ;)


    If you like my work, feel free to buy me a drink :)

    0.4 is out
    - added reboot to download mode option (i717 only)
    - added backup scheduling, including optional confirm dialog to cancel in the last 10 seconds


    if you see something that is not working, directly after booting back to android,
    use root explorer or so (you need root) and get /cache/recovery/last_log
    and send it to me: braway @ gmail . com

    thanks

    small update

    - added a "reboot recovery", to reboot to recovery from android
    - fixed (hopefully) install zip for non i717 devices
    4
    So basically you can install zip file with this app, instead of with cwm in recovery?

    it will reboot to recovery, install the stuff,
    and then boot back to android

    so no more manually booting to recovery, selecting the files, and so on...
