The constant developments and improvements make the Android community more exciting everyday. New improvements here, new ROMs there. The ease of flashing or installing these updates and customizations to a device through custom recoveries makes things more convenient for non-tech savvy users. Now, the ever famous ClockworkMod Recovery takes things up a notch with ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0, which is now available for the Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101.

XDA Developers member RaymanFX brings out two versions of the custom recovery: one with no touch support, and the other touch-based.  Both versions are capable of mounting the external SD card.

ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0 brings in new handy recovery features such as faster backup speed, a new backup format that de-duplicates data between backups, fixed 2 GB restores, and minor UI improvements. If you are fond of flashing stuff on your Transformer then this is a must have for you.
