Default Great app for those that have recovery...

So if you've installed recovery, you probably have realized that timing is everything on going into recovery. It can be a down right pain in the butt to get that key combo working. To make matters worse, you go to plug it into USB so you can run ADB in recovery, and the phone starts booting itself! Then comes the battery pulling so you can ensure that it will actually take your key holding. Any of you that use recovery a lot know what I'm talking about.

I discovered a solution for this called "Quick Boot." You can get it here: https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result (it's free for regular version)

If you're already booted and want to go into recovery, fire up this puppy, select "recovery," and before you know it, you're there.

This has the added benefit of not asking you to hit the confirm wipe in order to get into recovery!

I know it's a minor thing to address a minor pet peeve, but I'm just throwing it out there as I found it really convenient.

does this change the shutdown menu to like that in CM7? I ran CM7 on my Eris before I got my Revo and I loved the shutdown menu!

Its somewhat like CM7's menu. When you click it a menu opens with similar options as CM7 ie.. reboot, recovery, power off. Hope that helps?

I'm running Revolt 1.3 and it has the recovery option in the power button. Still an awesome ap for those running stock rooted without the power button option.
