This is a custom recovery based on Cyanogen's recovery source with a lot of things added by me. The purpose of this recovery is to avoid using adb by accessing all features directly from the menu.

All source code is available at github.

This recovery is for the HTC Nexus One only, if you have a :
- HTC Dream/G1 you should go here.
- HTC Magic/MT3G you should go here.
- HTC Hero you should go here.
- HTC Sprint Hero you should go here.
- HTC Eris you should go here.
- HTC Tattoo you should go here.

Important notes

• Always check recovery.log before posting your issues!
  You can do this by doing :
  • "cat /tmp/recovery.log" OR "cat /cache/recovery/log" right after you had the issue.
  • Use the "move log to sd" option in the "others" menu right after you had the issue. This will move the log to /sdcard/recovery.log so you can easily open it with a text editor.

Who doesn't want a 1Ghz processor to play with?

how is this possible if the nexus one didnt even come out yet?? lol

damn you are fast amon...i hope to have the phone asap

Amon_RA: I love this dude in a manly way. This guy is quick!

Keep up the good work amon, looking forward to flashing this asap.

i'm so psyched that the devs are jumping on the N1 so quick. I foresee lots of good dev work ahead for this apparently awesome phone. can't wait to see what comes of it.
