Threw together a dirty zip to overwrite the CM recovery inside the boot.img of each nightly for personal use until someone makes a persistent TWRP recovery. Figured others might be interested. I only threw the zip together, nothing else. The TWRP build is not mine nor is the boot.img used for the install.

*Flash the boot.img here first: [Broken, working on a fix]

*Once flashed, reboot into recovery and install the CM nightly zip, then (before rebooting) install my zip here: [Broken, working on a fix]
This will reflash the boot.img with TWRP

If you forget to flash this before rebooting, just follow the above steps again.

A great app to automate all this and to make sure you don't forget to flash the second zip is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cyandelta&hl=en You must move the CM Reinstall.zip into the cyandelta folder on your internal storage. Then add it via the apps settings (TWRP must be installed first)

Update: Broken on the latest nightly. Will have fix out today.
