Root CWM Recovery (Power Button to Select)

[aadilh14]

Is there a CWM Recovery that has the option to use the power button to select as opposed to the menu softkey?
Thanks.

I think there was. I might have been back when tickerguy was starting his ROM, before version 5....
Look for mantera's list of CWR. He has some older ones on the first couple of posts.

Look at the first post in Mantera's thread [ClockworkMod Recovery for Motorola Triumph]
Scroll down and look for the single line of red text that reads
"CWM Recovery - NO TOUCHSCREEN - in flashable Zip:"
Under that is a link to a CWM Recovery that uses the physical buttons and on-screen menu choices for "Go Back", so it's usable even if the touchscreen is dead.

Another CWM that works well is "Touch_based_CWM_recovery-fb0-v5_signed.zip" which you can google to get download links (I though I found a link a few months ago in this forum, but I could not track it down). It lets you use the physical buttons or the touchscreen. That's the one I use on my MTs, including one I wanted to return to VM, which had a totally dead touchscreen.

If you need it because you are unable to use soft keys another option is the touch screen recovery... I've been using it for a while and I prefer it over cwm

Thanks for the help
The NO TOUCHSCREEN recovery has to be flashed and I can't really do that right now. but the touch based CWM recovery is working good thank you.

I made a version that uses the power button to select, based off my latest CWM 6.0.1.5, and I am going to upload it to my thread later today. But I was wondering how Mantera go it to always display the back menu entry, so that ideally you would never have to use the capacitive buttons. Because I just went in through the recovery key mappings file in the device tree and changed the select button the the power key. Does defining the has no select button in the BoardConfig file make it always display the go back menu item? If anyone has any insight please let me know!

I think when Issac made his first recoveries (4.?.?) it had the back menu items.
If I get a chance, I'll look in to it later.
