Has anyone come across a compatable version of amon ra's recovery yet. Clockwork is godd but I like amon ra better?
From my understanding... Amon Ra is no longer being developed for any platform... but that statement is based off something a heard a month or so back... so take it as you will...
Never say never. The source code is out there and plenty of people like the Amon_Ra recovery including myself. Heck if I can up to speed I may take a crack at it myself although I still have a lot to learn before I feel confident enough to work on that one. I am sure there are folks who are willing and able to take it on. Just give it time.
Ya I really wish AR recovery would come to are vibrants, only time will tell.
I feel that Amon's recovery was the best, I hope someone ports that to this phone
don't they all do the same thing?
I may put up a ubuntu VM for this. Im on a mac. So it makes it hard to use the rom kitchen and do things.
but, anyone on linux could port this. using the tools.
Love AR on my MT3G can't wait to get my Vibrant so would really love it if I could use the sameish recovery.

Have it on my g1. Quick, simple and convenient.

I have Amon Ra Carebear Recovery on my MT3G Fender
I think we should hold him at gun point.
I'll be straight up honest here. I freaking BOUGHT clockwork mod recovery and it NEVER worked on my G1. So, yeah. Hate clockwork and very worried about having to use it as the sole recovery...

why the hell would you buy it? its free.
This is my first Android phone, and CWM Recovery has been working flawlessly for me.
I should research what AR recovery is
Nice way of reviving a thread from 2+ months ago....
And clockwork can be bought for premium features + supporting the dev

I bought as well.
A bunch of the Android community has this idea in their heads that everything should be for free.
If I feel a dev deserves it for their app, I'll buy.
Back on topic tho... On my G1 I also always used AR recovery and loved it way more than the Clockwork I have to use now on my Vibrant. Tho I have to say that I've not experianced anything bad with it, I just was use to AR and loved it back in my G1 days

Is there anyone working on getting amon ra's recovery working on the epic?

We have Clockwork. What does Amon Ra do that's different?

I would love to see amon ra on the epic, I had it on my hero and I like it so much more than clockwork.

I'm the same way! Clockwork Recovery is fine and all, and it gets the job done well enough. But I'm only using it because its the only option available.
I swore by Amon_RA back with my Nexus. I LOVED the fact that people made themed/different colored versions of Amon_RA and it was just better formatted/layout/buttons then Clockwork.
I, too, would love an RA-Recovery as it is so much cleaner than clockwork.
Anyone know what would actually be involved in making this happen? I'm guessing a version from another Galaxy S would be a good start?
I know NOTHING about making this work...just curious if their is any kind of update? Devs anyone working on this? God I hope so

This has been answered a hundred times. We, over at ACS, initially attempted to make this happen. The port was above us as our devices are so different than any htc device. It essentially has to be rebuilt from source. We even attempted to get the creator involved in order to help. The problem we have is he lives in europe. Obviously with the epic being cdma, there is a problem. The device is not accessible to him. Amon_ra is more than likely not going to happen.
That's to bad too. Amon Ra is so much better then clockwork. But at least you guys tried. Thanks ACS
Nice 6 month old zombie thread.
Just wondering when we might expect an Amon_RA recovery image for the MT4G?
I know Clockwork is out there but I've used Amon on my N1 and loved it.
He was asked about a recovery for the G2 an said it would be soon. I expect the MT4G will follow inevitably...I too prefer Amon RA over Clockwork.
def i havent heard him say anything yet but he does do great work

what do you mean?
the only thing i really dislike about clockwork is the NO NO NO NO NO NO NO YES NO NO NO NO NO thing.... i guess it is good so people dont mistaking do something by accident but when im personally working in recovery im always extremely careful in the first place so its pointless for me

I feel the exact same way! Thats the one draw back for me. But its so minor, we can get over it easily lol hopefully Amon_Ra will happen for us on these MT4G soon enough.
Definitely my favorite recovery. I still have the blue Care Bear one on my G1 lol
for kicks and giggles.
Please post question in Q&A section. Thank you
i'm hoping this recovery comes out soon.
Can anyone try to get Amon_RA going for Epic 4G? We need something better than Clockworkmod. Sometimes, I have to wipe 3x to get a proper wipe of the base system. I can provide hosting for the files for who ever wants to do this port.
Attention Amon
+1 for Amon RA Recovery. Its always been a staple of this thing we do. I do like clockworks data restore feature and i bet Amon has cooked something up wich is similar.

You might wanna try asking Forcytos. He did some really nice work on the recovery image for the Moment, which seemed to have more features and a better reputation than Clockwork.
Send Bart a message and ask him to. We have contacted him numerous times and he just is not interested in the Galaxy Line "german" I Even offered to send him an Epic to work on still no go. But as I said put some pressure on him show him people really want it and maybe he will actually listen. But as it stands he has stated several times NO!
Somene needs to port it to all the Galaxy S devices.

Once it gets done for one the others will be easy.Its getting it done for that first one that will be hard.
We can expect Amon_Ra recovery pretty soon, He got his Nexus S yesterday, and today he tweeted:
Ugh, I'm using a Samsung phone and I actually like it... Handing over Nexus One to gf.

This is after he bashed it since it was announced.
I prefer his recoveries over ClockworkMOD.
Mind to share your personal opinion why you like Amon_ra?
I am new to this recovery thingie, so I might learn something here.

It really is just preference, they both do the same thing
Not really a fan of Amon_ra because of his history with cyanogen.
I prefer Amon_Ra's recovery as well. It does just boil down to preference, though.
what history??
A reason i prefer Amon-Ra is because if you have Rom Manager installed and then CW recovery sometimes spontaneously RM will download and install a ROM you dont want
cant wait soon as the recovery comes I will root my phone

I just rooted w/Captain_Throwback - Unrevoked version, and everything checks out.
I am now interested in trying out the various ROM's out there, and was just wondering am I just restricted to the ClockWorkMod development, or can I venture out into the unknown/related to ClockWorkMod development choices...???
Cwm is just one recovery. I personally use amon ra. Most roms are signed and can be flashed with both. Just a matter of preference really.

Yeah your right Amon Ra, seems to be a better Recovery. It also gives you a lot more abilities while in HBoot, Thanks...! I will keep an eye out for signed ROM's, again thanks for the advice.

Signed or not doesn't matter with amonra. You can flash both. Its cwm that needed signed roms. Although that might have changed in the last two years since I've used cwm lol.

At OP, you said you used captain throwback method and unrevoked. I'm surprised captains method didn't include amonRA out of the box,...I know he strongly advises amon,... as do pretty much all of us on the Evo forum.
As to what you can flash, like THREESTRIPEBAND said, you can flash any rom in the Evo forum. I know I've looked at Sammy forums and was a bit confused because the rom title would specify it's a CWM ROM or Odin ROM, which I don't understand what your recovery has to do with your ROM, but it ain't like that here. (Maybe it's a kernel or signature issue when dealing with sammys ? )
Anyhow, you got tons of choices here. Happy flashing.

It does'nt matter if a rom or any other zipped file is signed or not,when you want to install it,the reason for signing is a digital signature a developer puts on his developement,so noone can edit it and say its theirs.

Oh, it does include and recommend RA recovery. However, if you don't follow my tip to have unrevoked install RA recovery, then you end up with CWM. I guess people don't like my tips .
