[Desire HD Android Development] stylez:
Working fine here on v2.1.2 just booted into recovery to check..

Thx madmaxx82 for 4EXTRecovery :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Diamondback:
lol, either i am blind or you did not notice that feature anywhere. in fact the other softbuttons wotk too Oo

Anyway, i am happy then now :)

Wanna tease anything new from the 'great' release? :)
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thnx to all of you!

That's a feature of CWMR which 4ext is based upon.

I don't list all the features CWMR already has ;)

If it didn't work though I could change/add it.

But now we know it does..
[Desire HD Android Development] Onepagebook:
Thanks, fully works now:D
[Desire HD Android Development] cwhitney24:
Works great. Hopefully can get home tonight to make some.more themes for this one. Sadly I may have to wait till saturday :( keep up the great work!

2.1.2 working great aswell as Whiskeys new themes :)

Thanks! :)
[Desire HD Android Development] cwhitney24:
Some great themes will be coming out. Everyone watch out!!!!!!! :):)
[Desire HD Android Development] amresh:
Themes for 4EXT recovery version 2.1.2 and above

(click on link).

Demo screen shots:
[Desire HD Android Development] Shidapu:
Found a new bug with 2.1.2, when using Rom manager to backup a rom, i got a blackscreen/grey of death, i let it for the night, but when i woke up, it was still the same on the screen..

This happened in Recovery while making a backup, right after System backup part.

Tried this morning to backup via recovery and it worked great.

Might have been a random bug, or a bug with Rom manager.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Okay if this was a bug in recovery, then thanks for reporting.

Please anyone who finds bugs in 2.1.2, "downgrade" to the final version ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Shidapu:
No worries man :) Im fully aware of bugs that may arise with new things..

I'll continue trying it out untill it actually mess up something :)

The failed backup yesterday was nothing special.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Actually I can't think of anything that changed in 2.1.2 which might have caused that.

Couldn't that have been an effect of your very strange behaviour of your device?

BTW: Are you going to send it in again?
[Desire HD Android Development] LorD ClockaN:
I have 2 suggestions for the upcoming release:

1. possibility to give a name to backup

2. option - Backup & reboot

this will remove the need of Rom manager

thanks!
[Desire HD Android Development] cwhitney24:
Life without Rom manager...nice.
[Desire HD Android Development] Shidapu:
Haven't had any issues yet as i described earlier in my thread.. But if i do, im gonna send it in for repairs again..

Not sure what caused my problems, but their gone for the time being..

But you might be right though, could have been an effect of my phones strange behavior.. I'll continue inspecting it.

I guess until anyone else reports the same thing, take my results gently :P
[Desire HD Android Development] Padder:
Hi, thanks for this 2.1.2 version, can anyone check power off the phone et plug it to ac for charging? i have a little bug saying "bitmap missing charging ext4" etc
[Desire HD Android Development] cwhitney24:
Edit....

Just rechecked and mine for sure does not say ext4. It says E:missing bitmap charging_full.

I can't remember if mine said ext4...but I am getting an error message similar after powering down the phone and then trying to plug in the charger.
[Desire HD Android Development] Padder:
sorry, i just add the "ext4" myself for searching into google for the error lol

and copied the entire search line of google here :D
[Desire HD Android Development] cwhitney24:
Hahaha lol I gottcha. I'm no expert at all. But With the growing numbers at the end of the error message it almost looks like its searching for missing images.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Something like that will come ;)

Why do you guys dislike rom manager so much?

Isn't it very convenient to be able to download roms and flash them immediately with it?
[Desire HD Android Development] cwhitney24:
I never download roms or flash using rom manager. I'd much rather download the stuff on my own. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] LorD ClockaN:
BTW... backup from Rom Manager with 2.1.2 working fine!
[Desire HD Android Development] stylez:
There's a piece of mind when just using CWM to flash backup etc..
[Desire HD Android Development] MatriarchRaszagal:
lol. You learn something new every day. This made my life so much easier. I'm a bit lazy and my phone case makes it semi hard to "click" the volume button. This makes selections super fast :)

Edit: Doh! I forgot to say this is the awesomest (sounds better than most awesome) recovery. Keep up the good work! :cool:
[Desire HD Android Development] greentrees89:
hello

so im new to this recovery, im using ninja 0716 and Lords kernel :D i was wondering where the 2.1.1 download is located, i might of missed it, but it looked like the OP pictures were using 2.1.1 and the download section only has 2.1.0 and the "unsupported" 2.1.2, would you guys recommend 2.1.2 or 2.1.0, and do the themes im seeing work for only one version or all, thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] cwhitney24:
Download it. Lol. I answered you in the ninja thread as well! Either one works great IMO. The themes will work!
[Desire HD Android Development] g3ismeee:
I'm rolling the beta version now. No issues, except I had to flash it twice to get rid of an HTC white screen soft brick...and flashing CWM in ROM manager to recover did the same thing ha! All sorted out now (these random things just happen sometimes; usually I just try things twice after verification of procedure and stuff works the second time), and no further issues with the actual functionality of the beta version. Thanks!!! I love this thing.

EDIT: This is the first time since I started using 4EXT that I have had to use CWM...all props to CWM dev for his efforts developing this...but wow, the experience using 4EXT vs. CWM just does not compare at all..At. All.
[Desire HD Android Development] evilc1:
Backup strange.

I have got Rom Manager 4.3.3.0 and 4EXTRecovery 2.1.2. I tried to backup using RM from icon and it seemed to run but on checking clockworkmod folder no backup to be found? Ran recovery from RM and in 4EXT options selected backup and that one worked?

Can anyone explain what has changed, the only difference has been 4EXT upgraded (2.1.2)
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thank you very much for that great feedback!

Bug confirmed, making backups from out of RM don't work with 2.1.2. Reboots quite immediately when RM boots recovery because it cannot mount /sdcard.

I said unsupported, but this should only apply to any cosmetic bugs, I'll fix that when I wake up asap ;)

Please use recovery directly in the meantime, or use the final if you need RM now!
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
2.1.3

The problem with RM not backing up didn't occur everytime, which is bad for testing.

Please test this updated version, to see if the problem is gone.

I also changed the code to abort a backup if there isn't at least 1GB of free space.

CWMR checks if available space is >=150mb before a partition is backed up, if there is less, it usually just continues with "There may not be enough free space to complete backup... continuing...". If you don't read carefully what's happening you might get an incomplete backup without knowing it. This could even result in 0byte images if you didn't have enough space.

Maybe that behaviour has changed in CWMR > 4.0.0.5, I don't know. 4EXT is still based on 4.0.0.5 for now.

Now it will error and abort if space runs below 1GB. As mentioned before this check is done everytime before continuing creating the backup image for the next partition.

So if you had 2GB space left when you start a backup, it will try and backup system, check, backup data, check and so on until finished or space is below 1GB before the last partition is backed up.

This can certainly be improved, by calculating the approx. free space needed for the whole backup before it even starts, but don't have time to do this now.

Will be changed in the next version.

Also changed text output to not cover the progress bar anymore, which happened in 2.1.2 ;)

Here it is for testing ;)

Will update 1st post when/if it's confirmed that RM backups are working as in final version..

Thnx!

[Desire HD Android Development] DubelBoom:
downloading now 2.1.3 :)

first time tring this rom!

i just wanted to ask what to download, 2.1.0 or 2.1.2...
[Desire HD Android Development] cwhitney24:
Will flash now
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
If you don't care about that there *might* be some little bugs, you can use 2.1.3 which enables themes with changing backgrounds on the fly and has that change for checking free space included.

If you want a stable version, then go for 2.1.0 final ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] DubelBoom:
i love unstable :)

if its not killing my device O_O
[Desire HD Android Development] cwhitney24:
Report on 2.1.3......its golden. I don't like rm but backed up and restored from there and it's working fine!
[Desire HD Android Development] inzaghi75:
How can I flash the themes because when I flash it there is no theme.
[Desire HD Android Development] LorD ClockaN:
go to EXT 4 | EXT 3 menu and chose reload theme
[Desire HD Android Development] inzaghi75:
When I chose reloading theme nothing happens. Whats wrong??
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
What did you flash?
[Desire HD Android Development] inzaghi75:
I have flashed the first theme from Whiskeys Thread. I am on 2.1.1b version.

http://www.androidrevolution.nl/Whiskey/4EXTRecoveryThemes/4EXT_ThemeHyperKamote_V2.zip
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Does the theme change when you reboot recovery?

If not then there is a bug in the zip. Please tell Whiskey about it.
[Desire HD Android Development] inzaghi75:
Okay. Now I have flashed uninstall theme at first and then flashed Wiskeys theme and now it works :D
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Updated with 2 additional size options to chose from in the partitioning menu​

v2.1.3 unsupported

Released: Aug/6

Fixed a bug that sometimes occured with 2.1.2 (unsupported) where Rom Manager couldn't run a backup.

New: Backups will now error and stop if there isn't enough available space on sdcard instead of just printing a warning message which could be overlooked easily.

This was the case with any previous 4EXT version and with CWMR at least until version 4.0.0.5 (haven't yet checked if this behaviour has changed in newer versions)​

Text output now doesn't cover the progressbar anymore as was the case in 2.1.2 (unsupported)

Glad you got the theme working ;)

hi maxx, im trying to flash new radio using this recovery however installation aborts stating something about scripts etc., how do i flash radio then using this recovery? tnx
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Amend script?

Can you point me to the radio file/thread?
[Desire HD Android Development] carlo0810:
yup, something about using edify scripts instead, used the latest radio from this thead

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=687464
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
hehe I suspected that, you are posting in the wrong forum ;)

These files are so old, that they still use amend script which was abandoned by google with android 1.5. Support in CWMR was dropped I think with gingerbread.

However the update scripts of those radio zips are so simple someone could convert them all in minutes. Maybe ask the OP to do that. Otherwise you need to flash an Amon Ra recovery because they still support that.

Edit you can also use Rom manager to boot into your old 2.5 CWMR and flash it there!
[Desire HD Android Development] carlo0810:
oh ok, tnx for the quick reply, gonna try to convert it myself, found a tool here in xda which supposedly does that tnx again :)

[Fix] Show your correct current recovery in Rom Manager app

If u wanna see your correct current recovery in Rom manager App, u have to delete the clockworkmod folder in your sdcard an put the one attached.

Then u delete the Rom Manager app and reboot. After reboot u install again the Rom Manager app and when u open it u can see your correct recovery now. See the screenshot.

No it won't just work on htc phones, but for the moment I have made a stop in supporting more devices.

I'll start supporting more in a few weeks. This takes some time, because I want to finish other things before ;)

Everyone wanting it on another device, please be patient and think of the devices currently supported as some kind of pre testers :D

In regards to missing icons, to reproduce you can do the following:

1) Disconnect phone from charger

2) Power off

3) reconnect

4) After 3-4 secs, I see a few rows with the following:

E:Missing bitmap charging_full_00xx

madmax, I saw you requested a recovery log. Has anyone sent this to you or should I do so?
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Hi!

Thanks for the report.

I already know what the problem is. Stupid mistake by me.

No need for a log anymore.

[Desire HD Android Development] cwhitney24:
Haha
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
No ETAs :D

It's useable since 1-2 weeks, but isn't ready for everyday use yet.

Depends on how much to integrate before release and also when another related project I'm currently working on is completed. Couldn't work on it the last week.

However if it takes longer than say 2 weeks from now on (which is very likely), there will be another v2 version ;)

Hi

Just installed and currently backing up. Am I right in saying that it is ever so slightly slower than CWM 3.2.0.0?

Not a problem though.

Great work.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Backing up shouldn't be slower. But startup of recovery is, due to dynamically identifying file systems, capacity / free space and themes. Will be improved though in future versions.
[Desire HD Android Development] LorD ClockaN:
for me scrolling of lower part is a PAIN to wait :) when it starts up .. it didn't happen in earlier versions
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
What do you mean by scrolling of lower part?

You mean the delayed print out of info when recovery is started?

If so, you should be able to use the menu while this text is printing already.
[Desire HD Android Development] LorD ClockaN:
it's printed to the end, than scrolls back to top and in one moment the dhd is blocked and can't register buttons..
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
I see, that's not intended. On my device the menu is already accessible and operate able while the messages get printed.

Thnx for the info, will correct that.
[Desire HD Android Development] mapester:
I've been using your recovery since 2.0.0rc1 and its been excellent, but with version 2.1.3 in getting a bitmap missing error if i charge with my phone off.

i've used the search button and came across this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1200102

which on the last page says its a CWM bug , so has this bug in CWM made it into your recovery as its cwm based?
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Hi,

The reason was that they changed how offmode charging works.

If there was really a CWMR where it was bugged it has been fixed already.

I just didn't update all of the base yet (will come in a future version) and missed that change completely.

I will upload a fixed version in the next 30min - 2 hours!
[Desire HD Android Development] Wolf:
I was wondering about this also. Thanks for the great job on this.
[Desire HD Android Development] g3ismeee:
Thanks. I reported this as a bug to a poor hapless ROM developer. I just happened to catch that this was a recovery issue and amend my bug report to him just before he started ripping into his ROM :eek::D. Prolly not good for business with the ROM guys ;).

Otherwise, this thing still ROCKS! I love using it, even non-themed. Always works.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
hahaha

Wouldn't have noticed btw, since I never power off my phone :D

Thank you for that great feedback guys!

New version with the fix is up ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Jake33108:
Just flashed 2.1.3 RC2, everything looking good, charge while off works now(although I never do it anyway). Haven't had a chance to flash anything with it yet but if there's a new nightly in a couple hours I'll really put it to the test.

Good work as always though Max!

There hasn't changed much though.
