Why another recovery?
Current recoveries for the Optimus V have some built in support for automatic installation of OTA and update packages.
This has never been utilized by ROM developers for the OV, and I hope to change that
by making the process a little less scary for everyone.
Together with the BacksideUpdater, you can now quickly and effortlessly install ROM updates!
(ROM Developers see second post)
What's different?
--For manual usage by rebooting into recovery, I've added the ability to wipe cache and dalvik cache together.
(will be adding option to format boot+system+data as well)
--I've also added an option to verify a backup, use it after manually making a backup check the md5sums (sd-ext is a pain).
--For automatic installation, I've added the ability to wipe cache and dalvik cache together, and enabled
the text-gui during the auto-install process so you can see what is happening.
--There are also options for full-wipe/format+auto-install, and installing any ROM or theme zip file (even ICS).
--Based off IHO recovery source, with fix for UMS (Universal Mass Storage), so you can mount your sdcard in recovery
--Home key is the select now, no more messing with that two-stage camera key (always worried it would break)
--And of course I made it Green

Trouble Shooting
If you have any problems using either the recovery or BacksideUpdater,
Please post here. If you had an issue with recovery, please attach this file:
/cache/recovery/last_log
In some cases, the recovery boot-command-block is picky about being written to.
If an auto-install fails on the first attempt, please try one more time before posting.
If you get a signature error, please post the build date you were attempting to install,
where you downloaded it from, it's md5sum, and last_log.
