    It is CWM but you can use touch to control it instead of the hardware buttons

    welp, since I dont know how to install an img file, I guess they can have my money.

    • gosa

      I was actually thinking more or less the same...

      "Google on how to install recoveries from img-files or just pay the 1.99$...?"

      - I'll just pay the money and make both of us (me and Koush) happy.

    Well gee thanks but I've already been using 4ext recovery on my Desire HD and it is loads better, touch and all.

  • Tim

    Where is ROM Manager $1.99? It's listing as $5.99 in the Market right now.

    • Drake

      You can use standard rom manager. It's one of the bottom selections (v5.0)

      $1.99 is the in-app purchase price for the touch recovery.

  • L boogie

    Would it soon be available for the droid incredible?

    In app purchases... god i hate in app purchases! Anytime you wipe or lose your sata (including in a backup) it always is lost and devs are only sometimes nice to refund it... Why cant it just be normal app?

      It shouldn't be lost if implemented right.
