Default [Recovery] Customized CWM 3.0.1.3 fake-flash with ext4 support (03/06/2011)

OK, here's the deal. This is my attempt in customizing CWM. It features several changes in comparison to one from CM source...

Changes
  • removed menu entries for updating via /sdcard/update.zip (useless for fake-flash users)
  • stripped some "No" line entries from confirmation menus
  • removed some insane size values from partitioning list
  • added some sane size values to partitioning list
  • added option to add 2nd ext partition (for some data2sd variants)
  • added block alignment to partitioning part
  • added advanced backup submenu

Plans
  • add block alignment to partitioning part
  • add advanced backup submenu
  • add some additional wipe options

Issues
  • mounting /sdcard again after unmounting not possible

Installation
Just copy this file to root of your SD card and rename it to update.zip. You can also use previous non-customized version.

Source
Source for this project is available on GitHub.

CAUTION! This is still in test phase. And your phone may explode suddenly if you're not careful enough. But in general it is pretty much safe (if you stand several feet from your phone). If you encounter any problems relevant logs are /tmp/recovery.log and /data/sdparted.log which I will need for debugging.

Well, sort of. If you go to recovery via ROM manager, you will not get CWM 3.0.0.6 and if you go to recovery from HBOOT you will not get CWM 3.0.0.6.

The only way is to go to recovery and then choose "Apply update.zip".

So, yes, it works. But it's a bit tricky.
