Does this actually work? Will it flash with TWRP?

If this works you should make a new thread.
I flashed it to my phone even make a backup but cm11 is a no-go
I always use dd to overwrite my boot and recovery partitions but right now i cant't make a flashable zip due to im at work right now

What are the advantages of this over twrp? I never really knew the difference other than the looks.

If it boots quickly every time that would be a plus. Other than that its a matter of personal preference.

I have already done this but ShabbyPenguin doesn't want anyone else mirroring his files. If you want a flashable zip to switch back to TWRP quickly just follow these directions.Could one of ya'll make a flashable zip for twrp? just in case someone wants to go back without using odin. Thanks in advance if you do
(1) Use root explorer to extract all the contents of the flashable zip for cwm.
(2) Delete the recovery.img (cwm) from the folder that the contents were extracted to.
(3) Extract the recovery.img (twrp) from the .tar file that it comes in and put it in the folder that you extracted the cwm zip to.
(4) Change the name of the folder that the recovery.img and META-INF are inside of from cwm-recovery to twrp-recovery then use root explorer to zip it back up.
That's all there is to it.
Edit: If you don't have root explorer you can use this file manager
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...app&pcampaignid=APPU_1_PpjvVO-KA-ySsQTKjIK4Aw
It is made by the same dev as root explorer, is free, and has all the same capabilities except it doesn't have root access. The default path that it extracts files to is /storage/emulated/0/speedsoftware/extracted
The new zip you make will go to /storage/emulated/0/speedsoftware/archives

I was able to get cm11 to build all the .img files including recovery, but odviously it failed at creating the proper zip files. I still dont know if cm11 will work or not. I'll take a look at my zipped ROM files I build for the g3. Maybe I can get something going that way.
