Thank you!! ;)

Thanks a lot for all your great feedback :)

You can through anything at it that would also flash using cwmr.

Why do you have an ext4 partition on your sdcard?
[HTC Sensation] orymd:
hi madmaxx, great work... i like this recovery ;)

can i ask you a question? the difference between "restore" and "advanced restore"... i've made a complete backup and, when i want to restore a single partition, it asks me to select a "restore" or an "advanced restore"...
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Thank you :)

If you have done a full backup or used the app to create an advanced backup, then just select advanced restore -> select the partition you want to restore and then "from a full backup" ;)

Or was your question related to using the app to do that?
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
The Sensation's custom roms don't make use of sd-ext, so your ext4 partition is basically useless. It is not mounted inside your rom and so it cannot be used or seen by apps ;)

And thank you for your support :)
[HTC Sensation] jayyo:
I just had a similar discussion in the wrong forum (Nexus One) lol. See post #34 here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1291970. This might answer your question.

I have a un-usable ext4 partition on my Sensation and will be getting rid of it.
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
I don't understand everything... what's better with this recovery than the cwm ?

Sorry for noob question, i'm old in ROM world but new in recovery one : )
[HTC Sensation] brd912:
Alright welp,I went ahead and bought the paid version. As cool as it looks,and how advanced it seems,its well worth 2 and a half bucks!
[HTC Sensation] 4D3:
in recovery it says that there is 1.9Gb

when the device is booted into android it says 1.23...

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
NP :) It depends on what extra features might be useful to you. Take a look at the features listed in 1st post and if you'd like to know more, just ask :)

Thank you very much :)

I already posted above.

The Sensation does not use sd-ext (better: the roms don't use it). So your sd-ext partition is never mounted inside your rom and never used!
[HTC Sensation] 4D3:
Funny, the rom says it is supported!!!

I am using BeastMOD v4...
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Really? Where did you read that? Please post that text where it says that.

Either I'm blind or there is a misunderstanding.
[HTC Sensation] cmarti:
Awesome recovery! Downloaded the free one and on the 15th when I get paid will buy the premium one to support the devs.

It says enhance ext4, nothing about sd-ext.
[HTC Sensation] 4D3:
sorry for my ignorance, what is the difference?

thanks
[HTC Sensation] KingDavid63:
Love this recovery man and the app, also gonna buy soon... thanks bro..
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
Enhanced ext4 means there's some mount options to improve on a certain aspect (or for ext4's case, mount ext3 as ext4 and vice versa). Sd-ext is a second (or possibly third) partition on the sdcard of either ext2/3/4 and is mounted under the sd-ext directory in your phone.
[HTC Sensation] GideonX:
App purchased, pretty slick setup.

With the latest Superuser from the market, it went bananas with the FCs. I had to wipe data and uninstall the latest update. Just a FYI in case anyone is in the same boat.
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
Chainsdd released a new su update to hopefully fix that this morning, 3.0.5. I did notice all the su fc craziness in 3.0.4.
[HTC Sensation] GideonX:
3.0.5 still FCs like crazy. Sticking with the older release for now.
[HTC Sensation] orymd:
Anybody has the latest stable 3.x version? now i'm using the latest 2.x with no problems...
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
3.0.2 is also working without problems here ;) Everything above this is unstable for me..
[HTC Sensation] orymd:
ok... can you send me the 3.0.2 apk, please? :)
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Nice.

Will upgrade to paid as soon as I get a chance. Is it just a license (key) that's added, or do I have to do anything else for the upgrade?

P
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Here it is ;) 3.0.2 without fc
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
You have to buy it in the market :) Its a complete different app.

Thank you all for that awesome feedback :)

And sorry, I have again spent all 5 thanks/day .. they should raise the limit a bit ;)
[HTC Sensation] wallah:
Hello madmaxx82 how do you do to day ?? :)

any news about sdcard problem ?? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Hi thanks :)

I hope you are fine.

Someone else had the same problem and we could easily fix it.. please join me on irc. I will send you a pm now.
[HTC Sensation] wallah:
im fine thanks, at work :D and i have time to spend lool

ok i will chek pm, thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] BigBoppa:
i´m dreaming of a differential backup. It would speed up (reading is faster than writing) process and afterwards it can be faster copied to harddisc... :cool:
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Me too :D

Something like that will come ;)
[HTC Sensation] tinker2000:
brilliant. I loved it on Desire and took less than 5 minutes to buy the fully featured version.....The ability to do it all from within the OS is an outstanding feature.

Thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] fabioccoelho:
How the HTC says: Quietly Brilliant :D I say the same to this awesome recovery :D

Thanks & Congratulations for the Team ;)
[HTC Sensation] miniterror:
thanks for this nice looking recovery:D

flashed it yesterday and did the evil clown theme.

im really happy with it only thing is on the top right it should show batt percentage.

i have a nker batt and it shows -- for me where the batt percentage should be.

is this because i use a anker batt? or cause i flashed the clown theme?

thanks in advance for any tips to make it working again
[HTC Sensation] cwhitney24:
Love the evil clown. I got some killer evil clowns coming in the next week in my theme thread. :-D

I got your 10 char right here
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Thank you very much! :)

No that is not because of the theme..

Maybe because of the batt..

I will pm you to look at that.
[HTC Sensation] 4D3:
Is there any way to enable sd-ext?

thanks
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
4ext is ready for 2x sd-ext + swap

You need to talk to the rom devs if you want to use sd-ext.

But keep in mind that this will hurt performance! As sd-ext will always be much slower than internal memory.
[HTC Sensation] 4D3:
Ahh ok, so is there a benefit to having a swap partition? if there is do you have any info on creating one...i.e. how, size to use etc.

(also if i have a C10 sd card is that still slower than internal memory?

thanks
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
I'd only create a swap partition on sd if there is really too little ram available.

You can do it in the partitioning menu in 4ext recovery.

But again, the rom must make use of it, as swap must be turned on on rom boot.

Yes, the card is still slower! No matter what the class is.
[HTC Sensation] tinker2000:
I too am using Anker battery, no issues here % shows in top right corner every time
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Thank you for that info.. and I must again apology that the thanks limit is still there so I cannot press the button :mad:

Then the reason why it doesn't show up is most probably that he is not using 2.2.7 rc2 but 2.2.6 something..
[HTC Sensation] miniterror:
Thanks for the pm and this message,

I checked before reflashing and it whas 2.2.7 rc2.

I do remember it whas there once otherwhise i probably thought it whas there originaly.

Sorry i didnt write it down.

I reflashed it and now it works.

When i have a new rc ill see if i will loose it again and check where it happens.

Thanks again:)

Edit: found it

I lost the percentage after booting in recovery from bootloader.

If i boot in the system and i go straight to recovery the problem persists and i need to reflash the recovery to get it working again.

So something in booting to recovery from bootloader destroys it good:p
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Confirmed this weird effect :p

Taking out battery, booting straight to bootloader and from there into recovery has this effect (no % displayed)

However the status returns as it is changed like re plugging a power source, drawing power or anything that changes the power status like taking a backup or something else.

Will fix that hopefully by tomorrow :)
[HTC Sensation] ptr_hamilton:
For me it just needs some time sometimes. Like 10sec and it will change from -- to the value..

Doublechecked that?
[HTC Sensation] :
Hi,

I just take the paid version on the market (12999763169054705758.16777473007041647250.1318523601) but i don't see the difference with the free version:confused:...I'm blind?

In any case exellent recovery mode although i have not seen all the difference between free/paid version...

I'm french,not good English and noob in recovery mod (i used CMW before).
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Hi,

thank you very much :)

The free version has a 3day preview of "recovery control" included.. so the first 3days it will have all features. After that it will only have the updater features.

That's why you might not have seen the difference :)
[HTC Sensation] chalie78910:
Very nice work!!!!!!!!
[HTC Sensation] :
Re,

Ok,thank you for the answer and for the work, very good.

I'm very wrong here,sorry for the inconvenience :D
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Thank you very much! :)

No need to be sorry at all :)
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Didn't even wait for the 3-day trial to end before buying full version.

Great work -- nice UI, useful features. I've already recommended your recovery in another thread.

[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Hey Max, dont know if this already reported:

Just made a backup with the control app and the recovery shows me the following:

Free space on your sdcard:

SD Card space free:

Both lines show the same value ;)

[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
Thanks so much for such an awesome recovery. Bought the app, thanks for your hard work.
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
WOW!

Thank you all sooo much for your awesome feedback and support!!

Version 2.2.7 RC3 with lots of fixes and some changes online :)

Thanks :)

No double free space output anymore on backups with RC3 :D
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
No, thank you, I just did my first backup with the awsome new recovery, super smooth and very fast. I love the battery % displaying during backup, the app made update fast and easy, great optimizations. The themes, everything is so user friendly. Thanks to everyone that made this possible.
[HTC Sensation] jayyo:
Just installed the latest version, RC3. Have to keep changing my sig ;). The app and recovery is awesome. I've backed up, flashed and resorted with no problems. Everything else seems to be working with no problems/issues. Features are great. Huge improvements over CWM and Amon's recoveries. Support is excellent. Even though there is a 3 day trial, I bought the paid version within an hour. Thanks!!!

If anyone out there is thinking about buying this, 3 words: JUST DO IT.
[HTC Sensation] myxcon:
It's kinda weird that when I tried to update I had to first push the check for news|updates button and merely after that the rc3 version appeared in the online install section. Updating as we speak (slow-ass-punk mobile connection in the country side)
[HTC Sensation] duke333:
Thanks for this brilliant app. It makes life a lot easier. I brought the paid version straight away. It is everything I wish a recovery would have.

Its there any way to compress the backups further to reduce the backup file size?
[HTC Sensation] ttav:
Tried it out for 10 mins then bought it.Excellent!
[HTC Sensation] sirbilbo:
Wow !

Best Recovery i ever seen ! Bought it after just 1 minute :D

I sure will come back for your other apps, there are several great stuff on your page.

So easy to use, I just love it right away:)
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
Hey madmax is there an option to create.. Img files aswell as if there is ever an error i would like to be able to manually push the files across and get me device back say id md5 check failsbor something

Hi,

No no,but I felt like asking a "very noobie question" :D

So,exellent recovery!:cool:

+1 with this comments.

Rc3 is perfect! :cool:,I don't regret having bought it;)
[HTC Sensation] CdTDroiD:
Awesome guys! just got the time to test while new ROMs uploading lol... looks great, loved on desire and dhd
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Hi, what exactly do you mean?

You can disable md5checks in that case, or let the app recreate nandroid.md5 for that beackup for you.

But maybe I don't understand you right. Do you mean .img as backup files?

If so, then tar is much better as you can open it easily even with windows with most archive utilities.

WOW!

Again I must say thank you everyone so much for your great support and your incredible posts :)

This is really really motivating :)
[HTC Sensation] gtrplr71:
thank you for this I was never a fan of CWM and have been waiting for Anything else! Will I have any problems with my backups from CWM?
[HTC Sensation] philliman:
Bought the app a few days ago and I'm happy wit it. Still amazed over the support I've received! Keep up the great work!
[HTC Sensation] philliman:
They should work perfectly fine, I did it twice so far with no errors
[HTC Sensation] gtrplr71:
Awesome recovery Thank you been flashing and restoring for a couple of hours not one single issue thanks for this!
[HTC Sensation] CdTDroiD:
Im gonna add your free app to my next ROM update to promote it ;) love it man
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
:)

BTW: thanks so much for your extremely positive comment on the market :)

Yes, like Philliman already posted, those are completely compatible :)

Thank you very much mate :)

That is really very nice of you and greatly appreciated :)
[HTC Sensation] gtrplr71:
Now we have a completely customizable phone including a recovery img.

will an option be added to replace the wallpaper from the gallery of the phone I have been toying with theme's but can't figure out which image to replace.
[HTC Sensation] CdTDroiD:
There we GO! - Love it man, been waiting! Most glad to add it :D
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
I've been flashing a lot of kernels lately (Faux is doing a bunch of betas, and I love testing things).

My favorite part of 4EXT is the fact that you can make a nandroid, then wipe cache and dalvik cache, then flash and reboot, all automatically. No need to sit and watch progress before doing the next step and the next step, etc.

Just select the options, let it make a queue and let it fly. By the time coffee's ready the phone is up, running and all settled down.

Sweet!

I flashed this recovery and now my music player is unable to see my music, and certain apps say that sd is not available. I had cwm prior. Can someone tell me how to get it working without deleting stuff on my sd. Everything was working fine prior to this.
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Thanks a lot ;)

While this is bad, this isn't related to using the recovery (if you didn't re partition with it ofc). Even if it happened the same time as you said. Just imagine...

Now to your card..

Did you already check your card for errors? First thing would be to mount it inside your os and check if you can see your music files there and to check it for possible errors.
[HTC Sensation] ajay83:
Hi max

I used your recovery on my DHD and now I'm very happy to see you on the sensation forums with your brilliant product just after I got my sensation.

I just installed without repartitioning. And actually, I am able to view my sd card from astro, root explorer, its visible on my phone storage, I can access my pictures, videos, ringtones, etc...except music. And I can play the music files from within astro from astro player. I switched over to cwm and restored backup and still the same thing. Everything was working great prior to this. I really like this recovery and switched back to it, but I would really love to be able to access my music again.

I understand, but there is no possibility that just flashing ANY recovery could have caused that!

[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
Hello, is it me or the app LG 2x notification app consumes a lot of battery, or better yet does the pulsing LED in general consume a lot??

In battery stats I get 13% used by display and 17% by LED 2x notification!

I've used the phone to browse the web in wifi for 2h straight and sporadic times during the day. How is it possible the LED consumed more power that 2h -alwayson- display??

In-fact when I left the phone pulsing for about 1h the battery dropped around 10%.

The phone has been on battery for 21h, I see that LED app kept the phone awake for 11 minutes and CPU total 2 minutes.

In spare parts I see that this app it's in "sensor usage" with a total time of 7h (!).
[LG Optimus 2x] Tr0gledyte:
This phone has a LED?! Mine doesn't! Wtf.
[LG Optimus 2x] owain94:
he means the back light notification :p

when you get an notification the 4 leds home menu search en back will pulse
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
yes that. it happened again :-( fully charged i got a text, its been pulsing for an hour and battery was 7% less! does it really use that much power? why does it use the g sensor? it doesn't make sense. so what if i get a notification and never touch the phone for 10h with no connection the battery will die???
[LG Optimus 2x] miniake:
It is quite strange, I got the same problem.
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
did you unistall it?
