Just tested, seems to be working fine. Great job using the joypad and A/B buttons for control. Strangely the home button also moves selection up.

Rooting and backup have just become easier! :victory:

That's because HOME always had a default action. I didn't replace those, but I may in the future.

Will this play nice with OTA system updates?
It should, but I intend to verify this soon. I *may* modify it a bit so that any "automatic" updates require you to accept them instead of just silently updating, for those who root their devices and such, and don't want an OTA to blast it without being near a computer.

We NEED OTA RootKeeper to update to support 4.3... Then that wouldn't be a problem! haha. That restored root on my Prime MANY TIMES.

Actually, it'd be trivial to modify CWM to maintain itself during an OTA (by preventing the flashing of the recovery partition) as well as to re-inject root on the device after the OTA.

Hello will you be releasing a stock recovery as well? Just in case we want to go back =)

I see you factory images only have boot & system at the moment.

Thanks
