Root 2nd init mod (The CWM Recovery Mod)

This is the 2nd init mod for the LG Motion.

what it does== installs 2nd init recovery script at boot and with the sm widget just add the reboot recovery sh and boot into cwm with a widget. (once set up)

how it does it== this is a modified version of wallpaper bin in /sbin. The script verifies morning call (so no errors) it then runs the 2nd init recovery tar while booting. Once the widget is installed you will be able to reboot to cwm recovery without the use of the 2nd init app.

Directions==download 2nd init mod zip file and place on external sd.
Reboot to cwm recovery via the app (last time u need to do that)
Once in recovery press home to mount external.
Install zip from card and install 2nd_init_mod.zip
Reboot.
Using root explorer navigate to /system/xbin/2nd_init_mod
Move wallpaper to /sbin and paste over original.
Open script manager and browse as root.Then navigate to 2nd_init_mod folder and press on reboot_recovery.sh
Press "su" and "save" and then exit.
Go to home screen and add sm widget
add reboot_recovery.sh widget and reboot normal.

Profit! you have managed to do it!! You can now boot into cwm recovery at any time by widget.

DO NOT USE ANREBOOT OR ANY OTHER APP TO REBOOT RECOVERY OR YOU WILL FACTORY RESET!!

I use ROManager and it factory reset mine -__-

DO NOT USE ANREBOOT OR ANY OTHER APP TO REBOOT RECOVERY OR YOU WILL FACTORY RESET!!

The reason for this is that ROManager/all those other apps reboot into the recovery partition. This would be fine, except with our phone, all that is on there is the factory reset. Our CWM does not replace/modify the recovery partition.
