Project Open Cannibal is back in action on the Optimus Elite, only this time we have something to show for it!

Cannibal Open Touch NG is an entirely new breed of custom recovery. It is a pure touch-enabled environment, but you can use the standard hardware buttons if you want.

I just posted some photos on Google+, see them here: https://plus.google.com/109643193860817626489/posts/hbH4E95m7kd

Current issues:
Recovery auto reboots after ~2 minutes. This only affects the Optimus Elite, so if anyone knows a fix please point us in the right direction.
Colors are all sorts of messed up (may not be a simple fix, if anyone has any insight please speak up)
Completely untested ;)

Added you to +, willing to test the build whenever you're ready,...Nice work so far!!
 
i use twrp on my nexus 10 and i love the touch controls so seeing a recovery for the optimus elite with touch features is exciting

This is cause by the rmt_storage service (actually lack of it). You need to have everything necessary for that service to run. It is dynamically linked, so you need the linker, the necessary shared libs, and the LD_PATH setup. You can see in the ramdisk for current custom recoveries how it is setup to work and not require /system to be mounted.

Thanks, it worked for TWRP.

NICE! does that mean we have TWRP now too? :p I've never used either of these I don't think.

Edit: Nope, definitely haven't, just took a look at Cannibal screen shots and that looks bad ass too. :D

Basically yes but I had to use the old dd command method in shell and I don't think everyone will know how to use that method.

Oh, cool... I remember hearing something about the dd command, I can't say that I remember using it, I do remember using Terminal a lot more often in the past though.
 
Could you PM me a link to the TWRP img to be dd'd into the recovery partition? Is it fully working? I would love that. It's got a nice UI and my girlfriend hates Cwm on the Elite. (Its her phone now lol)
