I am not sure how hard it would be but I figured it could be possible to port clockwork mod recovery touch over to the warp because ZTE Score has it and I figured we could make the port from their recovery.img..
Just a thought you guys let me know if you want a link to the .img .
If i helped hit the thanks button!
 
It has a completely different partition tables, screen, processor. You can't port a recovery. You have to build it from source

Perhaps my Linux ignorance is showing here, but wouldn't all Android devices have the same partitions? I'd think everything running Android would have /boot, /system, /data and so on. Unless you're referring to the actual storage blocks to which the partitions are mapped (e.g. mmcblk0p12) or something. I would think with a careful process, one could port a recovery just as the hard disk cloning tools for use on Linux PCs can be used on other Linux builds as well.

They're mapped differently. Take w look at an update script for another phone, it might say system is mmcblk0p25 or 21 ours doesn't match that. Plus the graphics.c is different in the source. We have one major issue getting it working . Its the conversion of 16bit to 32bit. At least that what I think quietstorm said, I tried to correct it in twrp, but its kinda Greek to me. I see what its doing, and how, I just don't know what it needs to fix it. Twrp is similar to cwm touch

Thats the proper and best way, but one can be hacked n ported, not the preferred method at all tho. lol


I will work on touch for the Warp since I have one in my possession atm. ;)

I'd recommend you look at what quietstorm1785 has done, apparently there is an issue with the way it switches from 16bit to 32bit, Google it for github, there is a conversation between him and dees_troy for twrp, unless you're going for cwm touch, from which I heard has the same graphics issue being twrp is somewhat based of cwm

yea I will be working with CWM ;)
 
It will be interesting, are you building from source? If so can I take a look when you get it working?

nah its not the colors, the display is upside down lol, it all works great tho

Did you look at the graphics.c from the working cwm 5.0.2.8 we have? Its in hroarks and quietstorms configs for cm7

used it, didnt fix the issue. The 6.x graphics.c doesnt even have the flag in it for flipped screen. :\

I mean it works great, looks great, but its upside down n the vol/nav buttons are backwards, lol. With the touch it may not be all that bad tho, just have to hold the phone upside down when in cwm. lol

Dunno if some creative recoding will help or not. I will ask koush and crew about when I get a chance.
 
I don't know how to pull that recovery from the got. Anyway to post the recovery, I want to throw a hand in, do some research and learn.....
