About requests to add new devices:
As a single developer I must concentrate on one task at a time:
Feature requests for Recovery Control or 4EXT Recovery, or on adding new devices, while providing personal support to my users.
That's why it takes a longer time until I'm able to add new devices.
By buying this app, you not only get a feature rich application that lets you control, configure and handle the advanced features of 4EXT Recovery with comfort, you also contribute to the future of the recovery itself!
Thanks to the great community the project will continually improve and stay as active as possible!
Translations: it's a community project at crowdin.net. Big thanks to everyone participating!

Updates, recovery downloads
Please see www.4ext.net for a complete feature list and the recent changelog.
Examples:
*) Restore: Let the App do the md5sum check INSTEAD of recovery!
-> To make sure the backup will restore before you even reboot into recovery! This also gives you the opportunity to fix md5sums in case you really need that backup badly.
-> this prevents situations where you might be left with a non-bootable device.
*) Start Backups, Advanced Backups, Restore, Advanced Restore directly from inside the app
*) Check your backups' health to ensure they will restore later when you need them.
*) Convert backups between EXT3 and EXT4
*) Calculates real values for the space needed to create a new full or advanced backup
-> for "Advanced Backups": While you are selecting / deselecting partitions, it will display and update the currently needed space to complete that custom backup set.
*) Install multiple zip files at once ->
*) Optionally display the md5sums of all the files you are going to flash in one go!
-> So you can make sure all are ok before you flash them.
*) Prefer to stay inside recovery after all your selected operations are done? No problem.
*) Individualize your recovery: install, uninstall 4EXT Themes without the need to reboot.
*) Had a bad Recovery session and didn't have the time to save the log file? No problem, let the app save it to your sdcard!
*) Encountered a problem? Use the report issue button to tell me about your problem and optionally attach valuable info such as your last recovery log to help me help you much better.
*) Safely online install or upgrade 4EXT Recovery (md5sums are automatically verified)
*) View all changelogs or known issues of any version available to your device.
*) Stay informed about any newly discovered bugs
*) The following example would be possible to do in just one session (one reboot in to recovery):
-> Restore a backup
-> Create a backup or advanced backup before the restore process starts
-> Format all you partitions in a file system of your choice before the restore process starts
-> Flash as many zip files you want after the restore is complete
-> Fix permissions afterwards if you like
-> Select to stay inside recovery or reboot automatically once all actions are complete
*) .. and much more! Please see www.4ext.net
Was a great app when I had an Evo 3D but the website has not changed in a while so likely development has stopped. I'm sure development is difficult but guys at least update your website.
I did manage to change my room with this app + using fastboot; without having to root my phone, HTC,well worth money thank you
Essential if you're S-ON and amazing regardless. Dev more than deserves the purchase.
Cool app, my friend was able to use this app upgrade from v2.3.5 to 4.0.4. Nice app. I was able to installed too and it works greatly. Thanks a lot.
Who needs s-off? Nobody if you get this app.
Used this recovery on my Amaze 4G and then switched to the One S. I now have the HTC ONE M8 and an still waiting for the app to be updated. Sadly I don't think this update is coming...
I had 4EXT recovery on my HTC desire and it was far better than CWM, which was about the only other decent option. Shame I haven't been able to use it with my last 2 phones; Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. TWRP has been a good alternative but I still would switch to 4EXT again in a heartbeat if it was available for the Nexus 5.
At last I found app which provides me all necessary tools to upgrade my ROM. To any ROM in fact.
I use this mode than 2 years and I love it. Now I changed my phone, and would like to have it. Can you make it work on Allview V1 Viper or Gionee Elife E3 please? I also could do the testing or if you give me some tips I could try to port it. Thanks!
Had to hit refund
Number one thing I miss about my Evo 3D since getting the Nexus 5. Bumpity bump for Nexus 5 support! I'd gladly buy another license for new devices!
i used to have this installed in my HTC Desire HD.... can you have this supported for HTC One X also
I bought this recovery for my thunderbolt, now I have a HTC Rezound I hope it will soon be supported. Please
Had on my droid incredible 2, hoping someday to have another compatible device...*cough moto x* *cough nexus 7 2013*
After upgrading my phone to the Galaxy Note 2, I'm not able to use this app because it isn't supported yet. but this app is a MUST HAVE for any root user. Can't wait until it works on the Note 2 . Your team definitively has my support!
A wonderful touch recovery with a great GUI, what more needs to be said? Thank you for building this great software and making it less of a pain to tweak the Evo 3D

Sorry its not updated would gladly use it again
The best recovery console that I've seen. This application makes it absolutely simple to flash the recovery...its done for you
A recovery app that is a must have for HTC Sensation XE device. Super UI. Smooth and simple. Equally fast. Keep it up dev.
Please add lenovo devices in the compatibility list
Really really miss you in my HTC one :(
Essential app, I don't leave home with out it. Great back features and tools.
Great features and support , I'm looking forward to getting it on my one x + when the next gen hits beta
Can't say more... Awesome
In my evo days this recovery was best now I wish nexus 5 was compatible
Just amazing and user friendly
This recovery is so user friendly! This is truly the best! Great job developers!!!
Superrr app. Very usable for flasheholic.
Always works for me the way its suppose to. Can't ask for more.
Really good if you're into rooting your phone and changing ROMs
A great app. Find it better than CWM.... Less cumbersome. Worth every penny :)
When I first moved to the dark/creative/mischievous side and rooted my DInc2, I let AlphaRev 'nvflash' a ClockworkMod Recovery image and have been using it ever since. I've had occasional problems with filesystem manipulation, but Nandroid backups and restores were fine. Enter 4EXT Recovery Touch and Recovery Control, and it feels like I made a quantum leap into a whole new era of Recovery improvements. Not only is ext3 and ext4 (unavailable in ClockworkMod) supported, but conversion between them, low-level 'fsck'-like filesystem checking and repair of the SD card, on-the-fly Recovery upgrades and Nandroid backup scheduling, backward support for my ancient yaffs2 and latest tar format backups, a fully functional and sexy touchscreen Recovery interface, partition manipulation and formatting, live stats and cache wiping, etc. The list goes on and on. My only regret is that I hadn't installed 4EXT Recovery and Recovery Control much, much earlier. Thanks for an excellent suite of software for my poor, unloved HTC Incredible 2.
If your app would cost 5x more I would buy it.Best developer ever!He responds quickly and resolve things faster then you could say cheese.Thanks for this beautiful piece of software which makes my old senny so cool to play with.Regards
Was unsure about how I would go installing and changing over from CWM. But once I installed it was straight forward and all my previous CWM backups were there. My power button was playing up in CWM so the touch recovery is great. Well worth the price.
So I paid for the app its great used it on many of the phones I've been thru but currently stuck using a android prism rooted with clockworkmod and cm7 is it true 4ext is not supported for this turd!!! :-(
Number one thing I miss about my Evo 3D since getting the Nexus 5. Bumpity bump for Nexus 5 support! I'd gladly buy another license for new devices!
Great recovery! Is easy to use and programmable.Set it up, hit start and it does everything for you! Developer is fast to respond to issues/suggestions! Spend the $ and get the best!
Amazing app, fast personal support. Highest possible recommendation!

Horrible addition. Looked at my phone and it was restarting but never got past htc splash screen. Soft bricked my phone.
