While the process of development of custom roms had marched at a great speed with many modded and themed roms available for downloads along with full fledged custom roms like Cyanogen Mod, thanks to amazing squadzone, Samsung galaxy mini/pop gts5570 users have got themselves a new recovery named RZRecovery. RZ Recovery is originally an initiative of RaidZero, who made this for the original droid about one and a half years ago from now. But, now it had been expanded to support many devices, Galaxy Mini/Pop being one of them.
So, you might be wandering what is RZRecovery? If that is the case then be informed that like Clock Work Mod recovery RZ Recovery is a custom recovery with many added features including those of CWM recovery and many more like Overclocking from Recovery, Option to Install App from within recovery, support for (Linux based) .tzg zip files, ability to backup only data, system or whatever you want with full customization offering nine different colour themes to meet the personalization needs of different user. Here's an overview of some of these features. You can also view the screenshots of this recovery here.

ReplyDeleteOk! Good Luck and have a nice time testing/exploring it.
ReplyDeleteCant wipe sd-ext
ReplyDeleteHello Yagya!!! How do you do? ;)
ReplyDeleteFinally got some time to explore again all the fabulous possibilities entangled here on your blog. Well... have one question for you: what is your review about this Custom Recovery? Did you try it on your on? How would you rate it? And how about bugs, have you noticed some already? Which?
Cheers
Hello and Welcome, I am fine.
ReplyDeleteI tried this recovery lately and most amazing it booted fine and worked quite well. But, though flashing could have done well, it failed to stand out in Nandroid backup. Maybe it's only me, but the backup and restore didn't work at all. Also, I found that flashing a2sd script didn't work, maybe it uses some another script or what, so I just end up using s2e since I didn't want to bother through the process of changing the recovery. Also, the developer seem to be working on the fix and we might get a update soon. I would suggest you wait for that time.
Sorry, about the change (few technical problems and other situation led to this change) Thanks for your feedback... Next time you will be reading this comment I am sure you will find it comfortable going through them.
ReplyDeleteIf you search for CM7 ME rom then in the same article you will find the link for related OC kernel that can be flashed. As you might notice, I have tried to be as much clear about OC and all and have included to respective OC Kernels in the article about any specific rom.
Does cyanogenmod work with it?
ReplyDeleteYes, it does work fine.
ReplyDeleteHey man hope you remember me, I still didn't get the courage to flash cwm from odin so got a ray of hope here, can I flash this New recovery through the stock recovery? Is there any risk?
ReplyDeleteCan someone please upload the update for it, I know they exist but the links are all dead. Nandroid backup doesn't work, that's why I'm asking for it. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks.
