CWM Recovery being replaced by Stock

**jtateo** · 02-08-2012, 09:05 PM

I have the cwm recovery installed, but when i go into rom manager and go to reboot into recovery it goes back to the stock recovery. how do i get the CWM recovery to stick?

1. Install Root Explorer from the market and delete /system/reboot-from-recovery.p – *Mount as R/W first*
2. Go back into ROM Manager and flash recovery again.
3. Enjoy a permanent CWM Recovery.

I've been on Codename Android and am very happy with it's customizability. I haven't tried it, but I see a lot of people posting good things about AOKP as well.

GummyNEx 0.7.6/ Imolean 1.90 / Android 4.0.4 radios Working well for me. Battery Life on the Imsolean1,90 is good.

Codename Android here too. Love it.

Codename Android is what I just switched to, it's awesome.

I got Codename Android up and running, I had never done custom roms with my previous droids... i was missing out!

I've been using codename. Would like to try Bugless Beast at some point, but I never seem to get around to it.

I used AOKP , the AOKP Milestone 3 was the last version I used of it .
I am using CodeName Android 1.3.3 currently . They are both great Roms .
There are some differences but few I recommend trying them both out .
Then pick which you prefer its kinda tough tho ,,,to choose which one between those two

Edit:
I used Pete's Bugless Beast as well but was a few versions ago no complaints with the actual smoothness of it.
It's a stock looking Rom,just not as much customizations to it ,but stable.
I also used a modified version of Pete's Bugless Beast called Bugless Beast Remix by McD but he hasnt updated it since 1/20
