So We've been Busy yet again
And we are proud to re-release This Tool.
Whats new
All New UI that uses the ActionBarSherlock framework to give full Holo theme + Action Bar to devices pre ICS
To support more phones i have had to change the way the app works. (OLD VERSIONS AVAILABLE IN ATTACHMENTS) What it does now 1 - Check your phone model and compare it to a list of supported devices. 2 - If you phone is supported you can pick any of the supported CWM versions for you phone. 3 - When you click install it will[B] download the CWM "recovery.tar" to your SD-card . 4 - Build you a "chargemon" file to match you phone. 5 - Take the charger + sh file from within the app. 6 - It then backs all the previous files up to the SD-Card and moves all the files to system as needed. 7 - if there are no problems then it is done and CWM is installed(into system)
Comming Soon
With the new app i am also able to do many new things that were not possible in it's last incarnation
(in no particular order) 1-Click De-Bloating of Stock Firmware 1-Click Enable of Init.d support for locked Bootloaders / Stock Kernels
Few more in the works too
Many more phones
My current plan is to support most Xperia devices
My current plan is to add these soon
X10, X8, Xperia S, U, P, Sola
also if there is no compatibility issues the app does not need to be updated to add phones / recoveries. I can do it all server side.
This App will work with the Sony Xperia porfolio. it will install CWM into the system partition so you can use recovery even with a locked bootloader!
Usage
Launch the Application,
Swipe Between Tabs or Pick Tabs
Let it detect your phones setup
Press Install and CWM will be installed into your system.
To access recovery simply, reboot phone and press any key on boot at the Sony Ericsson logo, when the notification LED turns Blue. or use the "reboot to recovery" button from within the app.
Recovery
Currently there are 2 recoveries that are able to be installed
2.3.* Roms

Pvy.

Introduction
This CWM recovery is for people who don't want to unlock their bootloaders risking their DRM / warranty. It is not 'true' recovery per se, since it installs in /system, but all the CWM functions should work.
Features
ADB root shell
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data / factory reset
wipe cache partition
install zip from sdcard
backup and restore
Notes to everyone
Do NOT use this recovery if you are not in Stock firmware.
No offence but Se tweaker and some other ways (doom lords touch screen enabled) CWM are already in Locked Bootloaders and Unlocked bootloaders.
No offense but you may have noticed that this in an app, it works without PC, directly from your phone.
It uses nAa files, exactly like the tools you mentioned. Only it makes it easier. Sorry about that...
So no offense, but please take some time to understand before passing judgement.
No offense.
What you are saying is wrong though so, yeah, maybe sometimes choose to do something else other than posting for the sake of posting. Take a brief walk to the park or listen to some music, to name a few.

This app requires you to know how to use your phone and thats it.
No need to get your pc talking to your phone in debug mode
this can be quite hard for some ppl especialy if you use pc's at a library or a iCafe ect. or have a PC that has broken bits. or maybe your usb port is broken. i think you get the point.
kindly point me to where these apps do this and i will be more than happy apologise.
Comments like yours are why developers leave phones and never come back. maybe keep that in mind. just saying you know.
i will not reply to any more post of this type as it is not what this forum is about! I Kindly ask that you pm me if you have any more to say so we can keep this thread clean.
