Description
This is an Amon Ra style custom recovery based on drellisdee's (aka getitnowmarketing) source with a few changes added by me.

The "nandroid" script includes code to auto-reboot your phone upon completing a backup, which could be especially useful after a long, compressed backup, but it's never been an option in the UI. I wanted this feature to be included in the backup and restore menus simply for convenience, i.e. restore a nandroid before going to bed so the phone is ready for you in the morning, make a backup while you're mowing the yard so the phone is ready for you when you come inside, etc.

Accordingly, I modified nandroid-mobile.sh to include autoreboot on restore and modified and built a new recovery binary to offer autoreboot in the backup and restore menus. While tinkering with it, I decided to modify the font color and background graphics. Themes and features explained below.

Change Log

Code: 
v4.2 - Add Roboto font (from CEnnis91)
Reorganize and clarify wipe menu, add Calkulin's Clear Temp (wipe Temp Files in recovery) and Superwipe
Center main recovery screen header and switch to all caps

v4.1 - Added two new choices to the top of the wipe menu:
Combined cache & dalvik wipe
Combined boot, cache, data, system (aka Calkulin's FORMAT ALL) wipe
Changed auto-reboot message from "Rebooting recovery..." to "Rebooting phone..."

v4.0.1 - Fixed symlinks  to dump_image and flash_image, which should correct any restore issues from v4.0 (thanks drellisdee)
Modified nandroid-mobile.sh and extracommands.c to allow recovery to handle autoreboot versus the script (thanks drellisdee)
Added message and three second delay before autorebooting (thanks drellisdee)

Features
All features from v3.11 + autoreboot + improved wiping options + roboto

Known Issues
None at this time

Important Notes
1. To autoreboot, just select that option along with your other backup/restore choices and run as normal. Upon completion, you will see a reboot message along with a three second delay before rebooting.

2. The AOKP theme is just that-- a themed recovery-- not officially endorsed/supported by the AOKP team so please don’t bother them with anything related to this recovery.

This looks pretty BOSS. I noticed that he rearranged the wiping section to not display SDCARD so people wouldn't accidentally wipe that. It's probably in the 'temp files' section. But I'm with Ocnbrze, I'm going to stick with 2.3

amon ra 2.3 is still the king of recoveries to me. why change, when there is absolutely nothing wrong with amon ra 2.3?

Looks interesting but I love amon ra.

I just wished he would have made recoveries for my other devices. I am stuck w/CWM on the other phones/tablets. :mad:
 
I like the anon-ra style recovery. Works fine for me. Might try this one out, but if it ain't broke right. ;)

We'll see.
 
Works great so far for me. I really like the auto reboot option and the combined wiping options. Makes all the flashable zip files irrelevant. I agree that 2.3 is flawless, but this one seems like a keeper. I have restored several different nandroids without any issues. I have seen issues in the past restoring ICS nandroids with a2sd baked in (on deck's roms, they would hang at the "upgrading system" screen) but it worked for me without any issues on this one and the CM9 Team DIRT port. Might just be a rom thing, but either way, I'm golden so far.

With all that said, I can certainly see OCN's side of things, especially with the issues TWRP caused.
 
This has worked flawless for me since it came out, and its packed full of features. I've done both backups and restores with it and its just as expected.


The autoreboot is probably my favorite feature though
 
Definitely sick, tried out all the amon ra and style recoveries this one has become the easiest to get around I mean you can do a format all then flash a2sd over your rom and keep all apps because wiping SD ext. Is seperate! Totally sick!

Def can understand your being gun shy but can't always let a bad experience dictate what we do. I just wont flash twrp (any version) but that is because the original author left and with the problems it gave you and all this happening at the same time just spelled Bad Vibes all over it.

I havent flashed this latest one I'm using his 4.1 which I find is very reliable. I have not had any issues with recovery either.
 
Isn't it just a logo change for the Mason theme?

I saw something about dalvik as well but it seemed like such a minor thing he didn't bother making 3 versions of it.
