I personally never liked CWM. Always loved Amon Ra's.
I prefer 4EXT because it has more options.

4ext all the way
And no you can't have 2 different recoveries you could have both apps installed and just flash cwm or 4 ext and then flash the other and switch that way

yeah.. that's what i meant lol
Cwm. Does what is for and is simple. Less prone to **** **** up. Ext4 is too complicated in my opinion.

4EXT is very useful in 1 thing - it shows the partition sizes and free space. SUPER-useful.
In all the other aspects I don't care what to use, as long as both support the faster TAR backup.
(damn, I haven't been to recovery in ages... since VU 2.37 came out).
4EXT. More functional (switching back and forth on file systems) automatically adds ROM name on backups, and is themeable.
and the paid app is awesome.

I'm using MIUI.us, and its Updater works well with 4ext, while with CMW works only with ROM Manager. I switched to 4ext then.
I tried also the "touch" version, it works for me though I don't use it frequently.
4ext...
I double 4ext.
Yes, it has many features, and it is not necessary to use all of them.
However, some of them are really nice like the native ability to check md5sums, verify if there is storage space etc.
And the touch version- good bye to the volume up/down and power buttons It is something completely different, and makes it fun to flash things.
Flashing cwm/4ext back and forth is not a problem- I accidentally flashed cwm a couple of times via rom manager without noticing, flashed back 4ext.
4ext for the "wipe 'em all" option.
4ext, yes cwmr is polished more, but 4ext though has some new exciting possibilities. Like the touch ability hopefully coming soon.

Funny, I use 4ext because I feel like it's more polished. I've never been a fan of cwm but when I left my g1 I had no other option until now.

backups
so if you had cwmr backups, can you restore them from 4ext, or do you have to flash back cwmr first?
edit: found the answer in another post. thanks.

Definitely not at that level yet mate, I just enjoy helping........ some people, others I just like to annoy so if I ever do make it to that stage I'd much prefer to swing over to the darkside. Its more fun.
I don't think its possible for clockwork to open a zip file??
It'll either try to flash or come up with an error.

When flashing a recovery, the previous installation is automatically wiped in the process. Check out the existing ClockworkMod thread.

I just flashed it using terminal emulator. Had to find a flash_image binary. What method are you using? Or did you buy it?
I flashed back to 4EXT touch, btw. Lol

Wait, is clockwork available for the mt4g? The last time I checked it from rom manager it said its not supported for the mt4g yet.
The touch is available for free on the website, or for 1.99 in ROM Manager.

I find it ironic that this thread just popped up after I spent a while trying to figure out how to do this.
Took me half an hour to realize i needed the flash_image binary >.<

Reflash the recovery or try a different version or custom recovery altogether. It probably didn't flash correctly.

To fix all your recovery problems, try 4ext touch. It's much better. Nah but seriously, I was encouraged to try it and found it to be more dependable. I flash a couple roms a week & it holds up fine...

First off, this is the wrong section. But don't worry, everyone makes mistakes lol.
And now for the recovery. If you could get into your phone, like start it up and stuff. Install this app --> http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk
Then install the app and open it. The rest is straight forward. It will install the recovery for you. Hope it helps.
Well if u installed recovery from ROM manager then u already flashed a recovery. U can boot into recovery from ROM manager app.
The link that notorious is providing is to flash a different recovery in the same way.
