New

Needed because "ext_sd" directory isn't present anymore in latest Android versions. Big thanks to dthomp01 for reporting and testing!

At least 4EXT Recovery v1.0.0.5 RC3 is needed for that, which isn't available yet for all devices, but will be soon.
Recovery saved to your SD-Card

If you enabled the setting to also save any recovery version you install to your sdcard, the files are now properly named after the recovery version.

New settings menu
- Recovery-, application- and notification settings are now available via one menu.
In the recovery menu, settings can now be accessed by pressing the button on top.
