You can ask Hydracore to add my touch recovery too...your touch gui is the reason i want to use the recovery
while i do understand your point in not releasing the source, any chance you could help and and it to another kernel?
the hydra kernel is a fit for all roms and your recovery would add a lot to it in my view
while i know im asking a bit much but i would love to see the recovery on other kernel and not just stock as i use AOSP based roms and not SAMY roms
But I know he doesn't like touch... However, my new touch code is really much more mature and stable. Errors are really very hard while scrolling (I never could induce one despite vicious scrolling gestures).
So, ask him to look at it again maybe he changes his mind.
If I have time later, once done with new devices, I would look at CM10/AOKP kernels (please remind me by a request in few weeks)
Also, if hydracore author allows it, I could look at his kernel
Keep in mind also that my recovery currently doesn't support multi-boot
