Depends on what you want to do with your phone, if you are fine with running stock rom, don't change it as there is no need for it.
CWM is useful when you use custom roms (both for the flash process/wipes and backups/restore), stock recovery is useful for nothing at all in that case.
So, IOW, if you don't intend on using custom roms, stick with stock recovery, if you intend on using custom roms, get CWM.
Clockwork mod recovery lets you do things like wipe factory data reset, wipe cache, battery status etc.... and can also install roms from zip files. Stock recovery can't do that. Hope I helped Also clockwork mod only works if you are rooted first I belive.
Does this mean i need to use custom rom to get cmw? Can i use cmw in stock? I dont want to flash any custom rom yet but i need cmw to flash theme? Lol

You can flash CWM and use stock but i have no idea why you would, you can't use backup or restore and you'll have no use for it what so ever.
You never need to flash a theme, you install it via market or downloaded .apk, if it's a custom theme you need a theme manager and you'll download and install themes via that manager.
You do NOT need CWM for anything you are trying to do.

You can use cwm on stock.
However, the great function isn't working on stock.
It means, even if you use cwm on stock, it has no difference with original (stock) recovery.

If you are going to use CWM anyway, might as well use custom rom...

Hi! I have a question. I have the last cmw touch but i cannot do a nandroid backup of the stock rom (2.3.4) because it can't mount system and cache. It's really not possible to make a backup of the stock rom? I'm asking this because i did some modifications like removing preinstalled apps and things like this and a new flash of the rom is not the same for me...

Has been asked a couple of times already.. CWM cannot backup stock rom, only custom roms.. The only way to restore stock rom is Odin method..

Hi guys,
I have the rom ICS Beta8 created by Maclaw installed on my Galaxy ACE. Unfortunately I urgently need the camera (not yet operative on that ROM) and I wonder if you can tell me how to restore the original rom.
Thanks,

Friend, do you backup your rom before flash new rom? If yes, go to CWM and select backup/restore and select restore, after select the folder with your backups and "Yes - Restore". Your folder should is in folder of CWM in your SDCARD.
If you dont have backup you files with CWM, you need .zip file to install the other rom.
Search for ODIN Installer. It will help you to go to a stock rom.

Thanks mate. I don't have any backup. I have found many zip for Android 2.3 but I am unsure if I can update them using the recovery functionality of ICS.
I am sorry to have posted on the wrong session. Anyway I think this problem is related to development as I accepted to install the beta rom on my phone and I think mine could be a common problem of many people.
Hey buddy
If from a cm rom you want to go for a stock rom then you need Odin
Normal flashing via cwm won't work due to the different file systems
But the other way around works

No need to do anything, just boot in cwmr and use restore option and select the nandroid backup file created while you did backup earlier.
boot into CWM > backup and restore > restore or restore from internal SD ( as applicable) > select the backup u want to restore...

Hydracore works for jb and ics both, flash it and you will be good to restore, after restoring backup, flash hydracore again if you want to.

yes u need to be on the same kernel in which u did the backup

I have tested and no prob at all. Although this work for me, it doesn't mean it wont brick your phone.
If you scare to perform nandroid using 6.0.1.2, i eill suggest you using speedmod k13-3 kernel ot abyss 4.2 kernel to perform nandroid backup and restore. Both suggested kernel has more faster speed in terms of perform nandroid action.

yes i have been using speedmod and i have done nandroid backups on it with no issues.. but still after reading the thread i was hesitant to do a restore in cwmv6.
so just wanted to know as hydracore is now pretty common so ppl mite have used it for wipes and all.. wanted to know their experiences.

A standard "backup" in both TWRP and CWM will include the kernel yes
wow didn't know that thanks everyone for answering ...didn't know that the Kernel will be backed up too cause i'm coming from Xperia Arc so ROM and Kernel act differently
