Thanks so much. Beats regular CWM by miles, not complaining about CWM but swapping back to it I have missed TWRP, this fills those voids.

installed it rebooted and screen kept flashing black rebooted and now its slowwww...... might be because I am running an att rom? or becsuse its 4.3?..... I'm gonna try wiping dalvik I guess



I think Wiping dalvik and cache fixed it.... still a tiny lag but its hard to tell if that was there before or not

It is, however the nice thing about this recovery is that it is customizable. Go into "PhilZ Settings" -> "GUI Preferences" the tap on "Menu Height" until the menu suits your needs. Personally i set it at 72


If it's not broken, don't fix it...I think my recovery the current one is fine....It's has big touch keys, and easy to understand...just a few boxes and get my things done!

TWRP is a very good recovery, stock cwm too. My recovery was greatly inspired from twrp to whom I give credits in my sources/thread.

However, i really do not care about your personal tastes, nor do readers probably. If you have no contributing dev posts, no need to add them here. It is the developer topic

You can open a recovery discussion on your tastes in General section.

I monitor above 70 threads to give support. So, if everyone posts what ever he likes just to talk, I keep wasting my time refreshing threads just to read useless comments.

This is directed to all, not only you.

There are rules in dev section, they are there for a reason, so follow them

Other things go in faq or general section

Just a question... what does this recovery do that twrp doesn't? Why would I want to use this recovery?
This recovery is cwm based but with twrp elements like customizability.... I find twrp often unreliable and often instillations made by twrp are often not the same quality as cwm.... Also it fails to migrate sdcard between 4.1 and 4.2+.... This for all I know doesn't have these problems

Sorry bro, you didn't post this in the Developer's section....probably you need to read the instructions and post it there. And I know many people carry the same opinion as I....Don't need to confused people with so many recovery, simple is always the best option.

Good Luck

What? ??

By the way most users like options. If you don't then stick with cwm and stop trying to discourage further development for the note. This is a development website (xda developers) the purpose of this site is for developers to share work and users are free to try it. Now I'm happy with TWRP, but another option is great and I'll probably give this a shot soon but others didn't like the options or want to try something new now

Huh? Was this thread moved recently? Because I thought it was in the developer's section:confused:.

I have been toying with Kit Kat, so I had to leave TWRP for non-touch CWM to get it to function (a known issue). If I'm not mistaken, I've flashed both 4.4 and Touchwiz 4.3 with this recovery with no issues - and I still get to have touch. I appreciate the work, philz!

Very good work... Well thought out and useful selections. It looks better too. Thanks for making this.

If possible can you make multi zip flash a bit easier by not asking to create folder under clockworkmod directory.

the idea is to have many possible sets to flash
1- ROM_CYANOGEN_X_Mods
2- ROM_CRAZY_ME_MODS

    So far I am having only one issue. I am on cm10.2 and can't flash update by using cmupdater after download. Recovery says.. Flash untrusted zip? And exits. If I boot to recovery and flash same zip..it works fine.

    Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk

    cm updater uses a non existing /sdcard/0 path
    cm fans must go into advanced and set path to /data/media
    By default, this recovery uses /data/media/0

    No thanks, it was so confusing, and so small:(

    It is, however the nice thing about this recovery is that it is customizable. Go into "PhilZ Settings" -> "GUI Preferences" the tap on "Menu Height" until the menu suits your needs. Personally i set it at 72

    All Note 2 variants updated on goo.im

    Just re-download 6.12.8
    You'll notice the much smaller size :)
