ROM Manager not recognising CWR

Hi all,

Newbie here.

Just purchased a desireZ from a mate of mine , which has already been rooted and Miui rom installed. tinkering around I've noticed the following

1. Booting into CWRecovery (5.0.2.0) freezes at the htc regularly (not an issue, just reboot)

2. ROM Manager (4.5.0.1) doesnt appear to recognise CWR is installed. It simply prompts that "You must have clockwork recovery installed etc etc etc"..

Should I just get Rom Manager to reinstall CWR? or are the two versions of cwr & rom manager not compatible??

thanks all
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Just use RM to reflash the recovery to get rid of that nag; also, v5 is known to hang on the HTC screen, v3 is the most stable. If you like v5s features (flashing multiple files in one go, etc.) but don't want to deal with the screen hang, check out the 4ext recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
I take back some of what I said earlier *sigh*

I have found that although I can seem to boot into recovery fine from power-off every time, with 5.0.2.0, it usually hangs when I try and reboot from ROM Manager straight into recovery. So, back to 3.x ...

Koush ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Eh, I've found (along with others) that Koush doesn't respond :/

Take a look at 4ext; it's everything CWM5 says it will be (and more) without the HTC screen hang.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
As per his original post, I have messaged him on Google+. So I am hoping he will respond here ...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] warp2:
i have the same issue. it stucks on htc-logo. the only way i can flash is to use the older recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] John5788:
heh I take this back too. It didnt work today when trying to get into recovery. tried again and it went in. Not reliable but works most of the times.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tronmech:
Kinda defeats the purpose of a "recovery" image if you can't *reliably* use it to recover a bollixed OS.

On 4EXT and enjoying it's reliability. Wish I didn't need my reading glasses to read the text on the screens (CM nightly 213 and 218 looked awful similar at that type size), but that's a quibble against both recoveries.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
anybody tried 5.0.2.7? any comments on freezes at boot?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gtmaster303:
Works like a charm

I was always having trouble with 5.0.2.0

it would never boot into recovery. would stay stuck at htc white screen

i was always using 5.0.1.0 up until this 5.0.2.7

now it works great!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] warp2:
i can confirm, that the boot-stuck is maybe resolved.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Ooo, thanks for the heads-up, I hadn't noticed that. Just flashed it, booted once into recovery ok, will test it further.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Samhain77:
It seems ok also for me. Boot to recovery it's ok.

Wonderful

Working great for me... Congrats and many thanks to Koush!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] supermario12312:
Looks like plugging the device in while its powered off boots the phone into recovery. Well, sorta.

What happened to me, was I was able to do a power cycle once. I drained it fully, and plugged it in, screen stayed off, it charged. This was about 3 days ago.

Tonight, because why not, I attempted another power cycle. I drained the battery, plugged it in... blinking light... then it booted into recovery. And powering off the device from recovery causes the phone to cease to charge until I plug it back in, which results in booting into recovery.

Does anyone else get this? This is with the latest, 5.0.2.7 (or so, I just know it ends with a .7 and starts with a 5.) recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] damien667:
Let it sit at the recovery screen for a minute... the lcd turns off... it's a new feature :-P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BookCase:
Makes me Angry!!

What really makes me angry is the fact that I have to pay $5 for premium version just to download cm7-nightlies. At first, that was no big deal. I thought it was worth it since the app and recovery was so good. I bought it. But, then, it started to tick me off that I work on so many different phones and I can't just download and flash the nightlies because it's not my account on the phone. Annoying to say the least. But, still not a huge deal, since I know other ways.

The thing that just made me angry is when I updated ROM Manager, because now I am using 4EXT Recovery, which was never an issue until this latest update. The only way to download the latest nightly now is to use your recovery. Well, what if I don't want to? What if I paid for your app in full and enjoy the fact that I can download nightlies because I paid but, would rather use another recovery image?

Please fix ROM Manager to work with other recoveries, else i refuse to update. Luckily, I had the older version backed up in Titanium. I feel bad for those that don't. I will scrap your app if I must but, I will not be happy about it. Also, I already felt like it was too much money when I bought it but, felt it was a very handy thing to have, at the time. Now, I'm really starting to feel like I was robbed.

I'm asking you to fix it so I can still download nightlies with other recoveries. would be nice if I could still download nightlies with the free version but, whatever. I'm not gonna ask for a miracle. Please fix it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Eh ? :confused:

Why not just go to this page and download them from there ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] damien667:
At gunpoint? Chill out man, it's $5.... and it was one-time... and you still get what you paid for if you follow the instructions (CWM recovery works JUST as good for recovery purposes as EXT4). Your complaint is as valid as me complaining I can't use my wheels and tires from my big ass truck on my little sports car... it was never designed to work with those wheels.

Plus, you think Koush's server and bandwidth bills are one-time cost for him too? To host all the roms and the RM servers cost $$ monthly... get real.

You are better off complaining to the EXT4 guys for breaking compatibility with RomManager...

Or fix it yourself, source is out there... and you would save yourself the $5, and a rant.

My 2 cents are free.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theone10:
Rom manager and 4ext work fine together. Since it reboots to the recovery that you have installed. I have both and enjoy both. No problem
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] burtcom:
Me too. Not sure what the complaining is about.

If its telling you "there is an updated recovery available" and you're tired of seeing it, just install the updated recovery, then immediately reinstall 4ext. Rom Manager will still think it has the latest Koush recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BookCase:
Okay, thanx.

Hmm again when phone off but when connect power adapter phone on to recovery 5.o.2.7 and reboot phone ?

Bug or ???
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Yes, this issue has come back again in 5.0.2.7. But if you wait for 30 secs or so it will turn itself off again, so it's not really a problem (e.g. if you want to charge as quickly as possible with the phone off).

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salaheldeen:
Hi guys, i successfully installed a new rom on my Desire HD, but i messed up a little and installed a theme that is not compatible with the version of the ROM i use (Android Revolution HD 6.1.X ) So i performed a full wipe using Super Wipe as they instructed and flashed the ROM again, so my question is do i need to flash the radio again or its already there even after wiping?! I used clockworkmod.

Thanks for your reply in advance and sorry for this question, I am nee to rooting. :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichDHD:
Full wipe does nothing with your radio. You don't have to flash it again.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salaheldeen:
Thanks a lot for your reply! But I already flashed it again, will that do any harm like have any adverse effect on my battery life, signal and so on? :\
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
If is the same radio / ROM combo as before the flash, flashing the radio itself will make no difference to what setup you had before. Other things such as user and system settings, user apps, network speed and signal strength, time of day, location, network type 3/2/4g etc

Also you may need to calibrate your battery after a rom flash, there are a number of ways, just do a quick search.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salaheldeen:
Thanks a lot bro. I just calibrated my battery fee minutes ago, and thanks for reliefing me that it won't do any harm, yes it was the same ROM/Radio combo!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewall1976:
the radio so you do not change, you may be surprised about bad operation and a few seconds but that could cause the death of you hd. change it only if you have serious problems recizioni.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dacoco:
Hi,

sorry for this dumb question but i bought a 16GB Flyer and i wondered where these 16GB are?

I already flashed HC and when i check "Settings" -> "Memory" i see an "internal memory" of 4GB and a "device memory" of 8,6GB.

So when i add the two values i get 12,6GB. So where are the 16GB (15,6GB exactly)?

Regards

Daniel
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
I am sure that we have this question several times before but can't find them here in the forum.

So, the reason is android. The 16GB (or 32GB) are separated and used for

a) the system software (android, sense, ...)

b) internal memory (for Apps, data, ...)

c) an "pseudo" sd-card memory (device memory)

and you didn't see in the android settings the first part. So, this is missing in your calculation.

And also, 16GiB (or Gb, = 2^30) are differ from 16GB (=10^9) even if most manufacturer and many developer didn't make here a difference.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dacoco:
Okay, thanks. Then a) should be the left 3GB (still wondering because the HC Image was about 500MB...)

As we can use SD cards it's not really a problem but i don't think it's right to advertise 16GB when the user only can use the half of that...

PS

That's the point. I was sure either there should be someone who asked this question already but i couldn't find a thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarvin:
As a owner of Nexus S without SD card, when I want to move an app to the external memory, I just click move to SD and it works fine. But in Galaxy S2 and other phones, there are 3 memories, internal, external and SD.

If I have 2 GB internal, 16 GB external, and without SD, and I try to move the app to SD, it says not enough memory, cause probably it tries to move it to the SD card which I don't have. So my question is how do I move apps to the 16 GB external memory ? and is it possible without root ?

Some people said it installing directly to the external, so I checked and it's not, I installed an app and saw the internal 2 GB decreasing, and the 16 GB stayed the same.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzmtl:
If I understood you correctly. S2 has 16 GB total storage, of this 16, 2 is used for app installation, 11.5 is for storage, and rest is system. You can only install apps in the 2GB portion, or in external SD (if app supports it). You cannot install app in the 11.5GB storage portion.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mynamesteve:
Tbh i wouldnt worry about it i have approx 150 apps installed and ive only used 650mb! I believe big game files install to the internal sd automajically anyway.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
Hey ya'll: a while back I was trying to get this acer liquid metal launcher working on the Evo3d.

Honestly, I didn't get very far, but what I was able to do was to pull this sweet, interactive live "raindrop" live wallpaper out, and it was awesome, but it was sized completely wrong for the 3d.

That stock live wallpaper is included in the following zip file.

http://db.tt/7uo30Kk3

Another thing that came out of the whole effort was that I sent a copy to xda user jschmier, and asked for his help in the resizing, because,well, that's his forte.

Long story longer, he worked a long time working on the resizing angle, and though he wasn't able to do it, he DID re-theme a couple of them in kind of a blood-and gore motif, and they look great. The true size of these were 480X800.. (sound familiar?)

Anyway, there's the zip^^: extract it, and the LWP's are in subfolders:

1. The stock "raindrops one"

(which works perfectly.)

2. Jschmiers "Halloween" ones

(which work perfectly.)

3&4. Some wip apks based on stock and Halloween that I tried to throw together

(that mostly need a .png resized, they dont all scale right.. The file that is switched out in each one is a png called "back512" in the assets folder within the apk., if anyone wants to give it a go.)

Anyway, enjoy the ones that work, as I just remembered I had these laying around and now own this awesome phone with a 480x800 reso...( And feel free to lend a hand on resizing any of my pitiful attempts.)

ALSO: You can ONLY install these 1 at a time. If you want to see what another one looks like, you MUST uninstall the previous one, or the new one WILL NOT install (they all share common names..)

*Like I said, WIP.

(But Halloween is over a month away).

(Also, I want the 'Mike Tyson sweating' one the most. )

I'll post some screenies in a minute. Thanks.

IMO the easiest and most reliable way is to install recovery and then just flash superuser with it.

www multiupload com/C90EI8MAOJ

extract the archive to your sd card. at first you should rename PG88IMG_4EXTRecovery_v2.1.3RC2 to PG88IMG and then go to bootloader. it will automaticly install the update. next you boot normally and delete the PG88IMG.zip file. Finally reboot your phone, go to the recovery and install su_2.3.6.3_efgh_signed zip.

2. ADATA Class 6

3. Silicon Power Class 10 (this is the one i'm thinking of going with)

Hi all,

I have been running StreakDroid 1.9.1 for a couple of month when suddenly many processes just started crashing requiring a reboot. It kept doing this over the course of a day getting worse.

cleared the cache and fixed permissions but it carried on deteriorating until it simply wont boot up now.

This happened for me on the previous Streakdroid version, a factory reset fixed it but that seems to be only a temporary solution. Does anyone know what causes this?

Thanks

It is obviously some app you are installing or an app you have denied to run at startup causing the problem, IMHO

I've broken my screen and it no longer responds to touch. I can view it using an MHL > HDMI adapter but without any touch input I can't get past the pattern unlock.

I was hoping to pair a bluetooth mouse using adb or somehow so I can then use the mouse to pattern unlock and generally use my phone.

If anyone thinks they might be able to help with advice or techniques, please let me know!

I think you can send touch events via adb, dig roung Google and you should find out how.

Sorry, I never tried it but I'm pretty sure its possible.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spudtheimpaler:
It turns out that it's possible but it's not documented at all from what I can see.

My main hurdle at the moment though is that I do not have debugging enabled in normal mode so even if I worked out the correct sequence, I wouldn't be able to push it to the phone in normal mode through adb...

Also, it seems my sqlite3 is missing?!

Hello, I developed the program to replace Pad Music Player for music players built into Android systems because I was tired of not being able to have a decent playlist with just the songs I wanted.

The program was created for the Tablet because the space is much broader and you can add video directly to a lot of functionality.

It may someday be ported to smartphone by changing the layout of the various components even if trying it on my Nexus, and there are all the features are great, there is only a few problems graph.

If you want you can go try it on my site:

[LG Optimus 2x] komedol:
Hi all,

Please bear with me as I'm a newbie here. I have an O2X with stock rooted V10A rom with modded status bar courtesy of UOT Kitchen (framework-res.apk taken from my stock rom). A month ago I installed an app called rescan media that requires usb debugging mode turned on. Then right after installing the app (with usb debugging mode on), I flashed the modded files from UOT Kitchen.

And now I'm beginning to notice a problem that wasn't there before I installed the app and flashed the customized files. Everytime I connect my phone to my laptop in usb storage mode, my phone reboots. Then after rebooting once, I can connect in usb storage mode without any problem. But later on the rebooting problem will show up again, and I don't know why.

What I've tried so far to get rid of the problem without luck :

1. Uninstalled rescan media and turned off the usb debugging mode;

2. Turned on usb debugging mode;

3. Wiped cache and delvik-cache then re-flashed the modded files from UOT;

4. Moved some apps that I noticed running in the background from SD card to internal memory.

Any suggestion how to fix this? For me stock ROM is good enough for daily use so I'd like to stick with it if possible.
