Is anyone else kickin it old school with ClockworkMod 2.5.0.5, or is 3 nice? I personally have tried it, so I'd just like to hear some thoughts about it. Is it worth upgrading? It seems it's just too much of a hassle unless you use like CM7 or a ROM that is CWM recovery 3 capable. Thanks, Peace and Love.
 
Yeah for now if you're not CM, might want to stick with pre-3.0. I'm on 3.0 and CM but the beauty of it is that we can always go backward using Rom Manager > All Clockwork Recoveries > Choose old school of choice. I haven't had the need to flash anything else yet but if I run into problems, I'm kicking 3.0 to the curb like yesterday's news.

I've seen people having problems flashing older recoveries after flashing 3.0.0.5 and having to use hboot to flash other versions or the alternate recovery.

I'm still personally using 2.5.1.2, I've gotten off the gingerbread train for now.

just make sure you have backups made with each on your SD card. then if you get in a pickle youll always have something to restore. i primarily use RA_GNM but have backups made by CW 3.0.05 and 2.5.1.2

you dint need CW 3.0.0.5 for cm7 yet. ive been installing them with the RA and they install just fine.

there have been 2 roms thus far that install aborted with RA: the honeycomb port, and liquid metal. i had to install 2.5.1.2 to install both of those,for some reason. :thinking:
