[Q] Recovery Support

[duffieldj1]

I was wondering if support for Xionia Custom Recovery was dying and if I need to update to Cannibal Open Touch v1.1 to be able to flash new roms, because I noticed that Kraven had to make a special zip for his latest CM9 Alpha to be able to flash it on that recovery... The only reason that I haven't upgraded was because that recovery uses touch controls and I prefer to not have a recovery with touch controls, so is there an updated recovery like Cannibal Open Touch v1.1 that doesn't have the touch feature?

You can use the volume and menu keys to navigate on Cannibal like you do on Xionia

Exactly! The touch controls are only in addition to the hardware button navigation, not instead of.

I'll still support xionia in my builds. I finally sorted out the assert problems. I was busy making it compatible with Cannibal, and forgot to check if xionia was still working.

Yeah, but still I might drop my phone and then the touch controls might click wipe all data

Unlikely because it requires several clicks

It would be a one in a million shot to accidentally hit "wipe data/factory reset" and then scroll itself to the "yes" on the next screen and then hit confirm.

Oh... I forgot about that... In that case I might upgrade Lol Thanks

Also,COT is not like some other touch recoveries where there are buttons on every part of the screen for different actions as if it were an app drawer. Touching on the text options does nothing; the only part of the screen that is touch responsive is where the Honeycomb icons are at the bottom. Further, Drew has added confirm dialogs for the stuff that really packs a wallop.

If you drop your phone while in recovery, your biggest worry will be finding the battery and hoping nothing is broken. :-\
