Team UtterChaos is a group that features xda-recognized developer,
DooMLoRD and senior member,
Napster. And, together they are working to get on-screen touch navigation controls for clockwork mod recovery. According to the developers, most of the work is based on basic touch capabilities that are ported from
SteamMod Recovery by
sztupy.
They have been working on this project for past few months and have
already released the working version of touch-enabled recovery on
various devices including phones like Ideos X6, Samsung Galaxy SL, SE
Xperia X10, Arc, PLAY and even some tablets such as HTC Flyer and
Kindle Fire. Few days ago they managed to merge the
source code for various devices into one common repository and released it to the public.

Clockwork Mod Touch |
The developers aim to provide the source to any developer who need or
want it to port this touch based recovery to devices that doesn't yet
support it. This is what they have to say :
we are well aware that koush is already working on a touch version of
CWM recovery... we do not mean to compete with anyone... since we
have been working on this for a while, we felt others might benefit
from this and learn something new, we sure did learn a LOT ourselves
throughout this project..
Thanks
to their effort and
squadzone's too we are getting an opportunity try this awesome recovery on our Samsung Galaxy Mini GT-S5570 device. So, if you want to give this recovery a try then follow the simple instructions from below. Please note that you need Gingerbread boot-loader and custom recovery installed before proceeding.
Disclaimer : DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!
1. Make sure you have any of the custom recovery available on your Samsung Galaxy Mini/Pop. You may either have Clock Work Mod Recovery or RZ Recovery -- any is fine.
3. Copy the downloaded file to the (root directory of) your sd-card.
4. Reboot your device in to Custom Recovery (Press Home + Power Button).
5. [Optional -- incase you want to revert back to previous recovery] Do a Nandroid Backup of your current rom.
6. Choose
Install Zip From Sd Card>>
Choose Zip From SD Card option and then select the
update-CWM-5.2.0.8-touch-squadzone.zip file you downloaded from above.
Note : If you are using RZ Recovery, choose
Install Menu>>Select
update-CWM-5.2.0.8-touch-squadzone.zip file you downloaded>>Select
Wipe Data and
Wipe Cache>>Choose
Install update-CWM-5.2.0.8-touch-squadzone.zip and wait till the recovery is flashed.
7. Once it finishes flashing; From recovery main menu choose
Advance>>Reboot Recovery.
8. Your device will reboot back into recovery and now you can test your all new touch-enabled recovery.
That's all. You now have got Clockwork mod v5.0.2.8 touch recovery on your galaxy pop/mini gt-s5570 smartphone. You will now see four buttons (
Back,
Up,
Down and
Confirm/Select
in left to right order) at the bottom of the recovery and you can now
use them to navigate through the recovery options. The buttons will also
work even if you touch above far (just) above them so don't get
confused. The developer says that it is made so, so that users will be
able to navigate around even without the need of pinpoint contact with
the buttons. Also, thanks to
squadzone,
he kept the previous controls back in the recovery --meaning, you can
also use power button or home button to select or confirm an option. So,
have a nice time playing around with your recovery.
