Just a word of caution with CWM. It has just wiped my ext sd card. No idea why or how.
Make sure anything of importance is backed up elsewhere!

I had that a few times on other devices. I actually stopped using it. 4EXT on the desire from CWM sources never had this..
(Hopefully Max is porting soon, he is just trying to get the new code released to bigger resolutions)...
A recommendation for anyone who has a wireless network and a computer / NAS that is always on...

I use the paid version however as I can run exclusions like /music which is on my NAS anyway

I will be definitely buying that app, I was looking for one like this but wasn't sure which to choose.
Hopefully 4EXT Recovery does come to the S3, I had it on my DHD and it was the best recovery I had, it always performed much faster and seemed a lot more stable compared to CWM (i.e I never had any corrupted files)
rowlers, what were you doing when it wiped your ext sd?

I remember you having issues. I haven't had issue until now. Pleased it wiped the external and not internal - why my good nandroid was!

I had a nandroid backup that when restored, hadn't backed up (or restored) properly. It left an issue behind that a restore should overwrite
