Will be done ;)

But although it doesn't sound like that, it needs a lot of changes to how the navigation through submenus is currently handled.

That's why it won't be in the next version. But I will do that. It's only logical behavior and those changes it needs should be done anyway some day.

Well, it's no big deal - didn't realise it would be a lot of work. But thank you, if you get time it would be nice to have, but I'm sure have other things to do and pressing Back isn't that hard! ;) :D
[Desire HD Android Development] marc2040:
A great option in 4EXT Recovery Touch would be the possibility of deleting single files (long press - YES or NO).
[Desire HD Android Development] 1234568:
First off thanks for 4ext. Great revery tool! I use it all the time and I have said goodbye to clockworkmod. Bizarrely though all my backups are still saved to a clockworkmod folder on the SD card. I can't find a setting to change backup directory either. Is this intentional?

Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] preacher65:
Yep, it's so that the backups made with 4EXT are compatible with CWM, and vice versa. By saving them to the same folder, it means both recoveries can manage and restore from backups made with either one.
[Desire HD Android Development] 1234568:
Thank you for the speedy answer. I am trying to clear out my SD card and I am being quite OCD about it. :D

Now the clockworkmod folder has loads of stuff in it. What is essential to 4ext, apart from the backup subfolder? Can I delete everything else?
[Desire HD Android Development] preacher65:
I believe so but I'm not 100% certain. You could try backing it all up to your PC, and then deleting the whole folder from your card. 4EXT will re-create the folder with what it needs. You can then copy back any backups you want to keep.

That reminds me that I need to clear out my SD card, it has loads of stuff on it from old apps and ROMs I tried out. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] 1234568:
Ok so I did exactly as outlined above. The only folder 4ext has recreated is the backups folder. There is a chance that as I use more features, more folders will be recreated. However, the point here is that for simple backups/restore all you need is the backup folder. Sounds obvious I know but now we know for sure! :D

New App Version 2.2.0 and Recovery RC4 (Testing build 21)

thank you very much for this mate!
[Desire HD Android Development] Pondy:
Hi Maxx, I know this is a different device thread, but are there plans to bring touch recovery to Transformer Prime? That would be super cool
[Desire HD Android Development] ABDOKRO1:
Shhhht, he's sleeping now... :D
[Desire HD Android Development] DN41:
Awesome piece of work ;)

Thanks a lot sir!

[Desire HD Android Development] buzzboy:
RC4 test working well. Super quick too.

Many thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] Restorer:
I need a bit of info please.

I am wanting to restore an ancient stock backup (made Dec 2010 using Rom Manager/CWM).

Now, I have copied the folder onto my SDCard from a backups folder on PC. I have the following files:

.android_security.img

boot.img

cache.img

data.img

nandroid.md5

recovery.img

system.img

4EXT seems to recognize everything- cache, system, data, boot partitions (yaffs2, ext3) but when I go for the md5 check it fails and asks if I want to repair. I say yes and now it says they are fine but to "BE CAREFUL" when restoring.

My question is what do I have to do to "be careful" :eek:. I don't care if restore doesn't work though this is my last hope for the moment of being able to get Sky Go working. But I want to be able to get back into recovery to restore a current backup.

Is anything

very

bad likely to happen - if so what's the worse case and how do I recover? Anyone have any experience of restores gone wrong?
[Desire HD Android Development] napster113:
Loving the new look of the app and the new features,well done yet again. :):)
[Desire HD Android Development] DN41:
Worst case of a failed restore would be that your phone doesnt boot anymore. Not really drastic as long as you still have your costum recovery, which is 4Ext ;). Just boot into it, restore a working nandroid and your phone's back to life.

DN41
[Desire HD Android Development] henv:
Worst thing is that phone won't boot to os. But if you pull out battery. Put battery back then powr button and volume down you will come in bootloader then choose recovery. So if you first make a backup before try. You can wipe restore last backup and done.

But if you have a old cwm backup. Isn't it a idea to go back to cwm for the restore. Then after that go back to ext4

[Desire HD Android Development] ViDtje:
With the new 4ext recovery control we have the ability to leave out cache and dalvik, but when I try to make a backup it has cache selected and I can't unselect it.

Is this a bug or is it supposed to be like that?
[Desire HD Android Development] marc2040:
I can unselect all 4 options @ testing 21.
[Desire HD Android Development] napster113:
I think you need to enable that option in the settings. :):)
[Desire HD Android Development] ViDtje:
I did that, that's why I'm asking :)
[Desire HD Android Development] marc2040:
Which ver we´re talking bout?
[Desire HD Android Development] ViDtje:
4ext recovery control 2.2.3 and 4ext recovery touch 1.0.0.4 RC1 testing build 21. But I also had it with recovery control 2.2.2.
[Desire HD Android Development] marc2040:
Can somebody please load a big in MB theme?

While installing such a theme I cant see the worker @ testing 21
[Desire HD Android Development] napster113:
just tried my 10.2mb spiderman theme and the progress animation started then froze. :):)
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thanks everyone :)

Thank you very much :)

This is intentional ;)

If you set not to backup cache but to format it on restore in the settings, cache needs to be included as a marker so recovery will format it on restore.

Recovery otherwise would just consider it a normal advanced backup with missing cache partition, which is not exactly that feature.

You might have noticed that backing up /cache is completed within 1 second only in recovery later ;)

If you do advanced backups and leave out cache this is not the same (as /cache won't be formatted when you restore it later on)!

When this option is enabled in the settings, the size of /cache won't be added to the space needed value either.

I haven't noticed that the backup of /cache was done in 1 second, thanks for the explanation!
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Holy **** marc, this is AMAZING! Thank you VERY much! How long did it take you to do that?

I realize that this is confusing. I changed this for 2.2.4
[Desire HD Android Development] wmg316:
That is really awesome! Great job!!
[Desire HD Android Development] marc2040:
To figure out what the result should look like till what you can see in the video maybe a whole day.

A great tool needs a great appearance ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] preacher65:
Absolutely! And they are both great - the refined look and new features in the app are really nice (the Notification Settings is very cool, just to give one example), and that animation looks simply awesome!

Props to you both. :D
[Desire HD Android Development] Wacco001:
Amazing job ... :)
[Desire HD Android Development] rassel2k:
I think It is better than CWM!
[Desire HD Android Development] Sammysdad:
Thanx Maxx for this great tool and to the guys that have made themes to make it groovy. New features are fantastic, but one question; there is an option to hide useless directories in recovery, but not this same option for the Recovery Control app. Can this be implemented? Running Recovery Control 2.2.5 and Touch 1.0.0.4 RC1 build 21 on Inspire.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
I'm liking the option to skip Cache during backup!
[Desire HD Android Development] HellBilly6:

How to install 4ext recovery from bootloader on Desire HD? My phone is S-OFF.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
You don't have to do this from the bootloader. Just install the 4Ext Recovery Control App. Then run the app and let it flash the recovery for you.

And it´s a huge community (atm 2986 reps) waiting for good stuff
[Desire HD Android Development] marc2040:
What about experiences with the new feature in the updater-script?

For me it doesnt work correct everytime, mostly yes.

Sometimes the background is from the new theme and the icons are not changed.

[Desire HD Android Development] Restorer:
Loving the new features of the control app - especially "hide useless directories". If I read previous posts correctly this is also available in Recovery? I don't see it in my 1.0.0.4 RC1 :confused:.
[Desire HD Android Development] craacK:
App -> 4ext recovery settings

there is the setting to enable it in 1.0.0.4 RC1
[Desire HD Android Development] marc2040:
@ madmaxx,

big THANKS for this

​
[Desire HD Android Development] Restorer:
Yes, I am aware there is this new setting in the App. But from what I understand there is also a setting from within Recovery :confused:?
[Desire HD Android Development] preacher65:
There are two different settings, one for the app and one for Recovery - but you control them both from within the app. :)

The setting for the app itself is in the Application Settings menu, but the setting for recovery is in Recovery menu/Recovery Settings sub-menu.

Or I guess you can probably edit the /sdcard/4ext/4ext.prop file and change system.filebrowser.hide_useless to "yes".
[Desire HD Android Development] joooe:
I'm on DHD and no problems with the touchscreen calibration. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] P00t:
i think only inspire users are affected.
[Desire HD Android Development] DaRk_dOg:
Hello Max,

On DHD, you may need to tap more than once or twice to choose a specific option, but rather thatn that everything else seems normal.

Regards, D_d
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thank you!

I will work on a solution.
[Desire HD Android Development] danton11:
Same happens with me too. Also just restored an old nandroid and now it says recovery control up to date.

No option too upgrade to touch ng 'edit'

found it under new touch menu, where final recoveries was!
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Do you already have 2.1.4 of the app?

If yes, enter Online install/update and select the "TOUCH" tab ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] dekkyy:
Works great on DHD. Thanks.

What exactly is the issue on the DHD?

You tab somewhere and something else gets selected/highlighted?

for instance if i press on tools it highlights and selects the option four spaces above ,hope that helps, keep up the great work madmaxx:cool:
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Okay, Inspire 4G users, please wait for an update.

Your touchscreen need different calibration values unfortunately.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thanks! And you are using a DHD and no Inspire 4G?
[Desire HD Android Development] dictionary:
It's probably due to the atmel screen driver issue we ran into with ics. Same thing should be happening to Telus Desire HDs. The devs got it sorted out, so maybe hit up Lord Clocken or zFr3ak?

Edit for lulz. Silly auto correct
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
thanks for the info!

So on older models a different touchscreen is used?
[Desire HD Android Development] azazel71:
yes sir DHD running ARHD 6.2.0 with no sense++ no other mods ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
I removed it from the server until this is sorted.

Sorry.

For everyone who wants to try it on their own, I will attach the image to the first post..
[Desire HD Android Development] dictionary:
Not so much older models, just seems HTC used about 2 or 3 different screens. Inspires mostly have the atmel, as well as the Telus HDs. I think there is one more as well. It's a simple fix if I am reading the commits properly.
[Desire HD Android Development] Diamondback:
Wow, this is amazing :-)

As stated before the touchscreen is quite unresponsive and it takes sometimes 3 clicks to actually click something.

Calibration is okay nevertheless. Scrolling actually clicks sometimes.

And it seems my back key isn't always working(noticed this in the file explorer)

Anyway it's a freaking TOUCH recovery, it's simply awesome :-)
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Yes :)

hehe I can look into it, but already got so many requests that I can't do it before.

Big thanks to all your great, hard and amazing work you do!

Yes Preacher65 is absolutely right :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Restorer:
Thanks mate. It frightens me how dim I can be sometimes :rolleyes:.
[Desire HD Android Development] ABDOKRO1:
Since a few releases I have an issue with duplicated notifications: for each update I receive one notification from the application, and another one from Wacco001 on ARHD thread... Can you please fix it? :D :D :D
[Desire HD Android Development] Wacco001:
Fixed .. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] ViDtje:
Hey madmaxx, I was wondering if you are going to make 4ext Touch Recovery for the HTC One X, I got it on my Desire HD now and I can't imagine leaving the best recovery :)
[Desire HD Android Development] pnoire:
Hi Madmaxx

I've a strange issue with update to version of 4ext recovery control.

My DHD has Lord Clockan's IceColdSandwich rom v.5.6test4.

I've installed your test version 2.3-prerelease on it: no problem

Today I get the info to update 4ext. I first uninstall the test version.

Now on market, i get an error "Your phone is not compatible with the application".

Trying to install from Market on my old HTC Hero with gingerbread: installation without problem.

Edit: I thought i found the problem (DPI210 set in data/local.prop). But after restoring default DPI to 240, clearing data of Market. No success. 4Ext recovery control still not available for my device :(

2 reboots later --> retry - all is ok, i get install button again in Market !! 4ext does not like other DPI than default :)
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Oh no :(

I hope so ;)

Hi,

the problem must be a custom set screen density in your case.

Although I'm trying to support any screens and any densities, the market still restricts that.

This problem isn't solved yet: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=19744

So you can only change the custom density setting back, buy any app you couldn't before and then restore your settings.

Please tell me whether it solved your issue or not :)

Edit: sorry didn't see your edit although I even quoted it :D
[Desire HD Android Development] Wacco001:
No worries ... :D
[Desire HD Android Development] torxx:
Love this Recovery, I use it for some months and it is way better than the CWM.

Good job man!
[Desire HD Android Development] uafridi_1179:
Hey madmaxx......Can we please have this recovery for our evo 3d gsm phones......please please please.
[Desire HD Android Development] uafridi_1179:
Thank you so very much sir.......
[Desire HD Android Development] craacK:
now you have your recovery on Evo :D:D
[Desire HD Android Development] rbrown13:
So not to sound like a noob but will/can the 4EXT recovery replace CWM completely...
[Desire HD Android Development] marsdta:
Yes

10 char
[Desire HD Android Development] craacK:
it will not only replace it completely... it will give you thousands of other cool things too :D
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
:D

Thanks mate.

RC3 out of testing in case you missed it ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] pnoire:
totally agree. 4Ext is great and has all features I need to do perfect flash of roms, fix permissions, manage backups, etc..

@madmaxx82: i confirm that the problem with other DPI Densities than stock one occurs only for the updates of the application on Play store and not with update of recovery.

Yesterday I could download and update the recovery without any issue, and the density was set to DPI 182
[Desire HD Android Development] audiavant:
Just want to say perfect tool this, realy handy :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Euphorie:
For most users 4 EXT already replaced CWM.

I totally love it, but we all have to say, that CWM is great and it was the base for 4 EXT.

afaik madmaxx and CWM developer still work together from time to time and help each other. Correct me if i am wrong^^

Anyway i think 4 EXT at current stage is much better, but still we shouldn't forget where it started and that CWM was pretty important to get there.
[Desire HD Android Development] craacK:
may i correct you? thats not the case ^^
[Desire HD Android Development] Super-Veloce:
too bad the theme goes away, when you wipe and install a new rom
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Two solutions:

1. enable preserve theme in recovery settings

2. enable themes on sd in recovery settings and reinstall your theme using 4ext app
[Desire HD Android Development] Super-Veloce:
where can I do option 1?

I just don't want to flash theme all the time, when I update/change rom :)

Like splash screen, it won't change :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Recovery Menu then choose Recovery Settings and finally Preserve Theme

[Desire HD Android Development] krzych:
Hi guys, I'm new here, so I'll be brief.

It's nice to have Touch Recovery, but first thing I've expected with touchscreen oriented one was BIG FONT. There's no big font, it's same small invisible thing as in clockworkmod. Sorry for whining, but this is in my opinion most needed feature, even more than touching (phone). A big font.

Could you?

PS. Not commenting anything else because I do not know this thing yet.
[Desire HD Android Development] marc2040:
A friendly advice.
[Desire HD Android Development] napster113:
You could always try flashing a 4ext theme there's plenty to chose from with big fonts. :):)

---------- Post added at 05:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 AM ----------

I like it lol. :):)
[Desire HD Android Development] krzych:
It's not the point, I can see the invisible when I focus ;P (magic)

Yeah, but none of them enlarges log, reboot options and so on, only the "main screens" which isn't enough...

By the way, shouldn't all apps be impaired friendly? This isn't for sure.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
krzych, what you are looking for and more will come ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] umberto1978:
Hi, first of allhuge thanks for this piece of shining diamond (recovery is great).

I am on 1.0.0.3.... and i cant restore my backup, NEVER.

First time i had think a concidence, second time too, now i have no doubt about it.

It's a bug of this version?

EDIT: md5 mismatch error, restore failed
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
No.

When you have md5sum mismatches, it's usually because your fat32 file system has become corrupted or -very rarely- when your sdcard is bad.

But nonetheless: UPDATE!

Version 1.0.0.4 RC3 has no known issues.

To restore that backup, either use Recovery Control to restore that backup and tell it to "restore anyway", temporarily disable md5sum checks or upgrade to 1.0.0.4 RC3 (which will allow you to opt out when it detects a mismatch on restore).

Please check/repair your "sdcard".

Do this using Windows or recovery -> tools -> file system check

Best though is to backup your sdcard, format it and restore your backup.

To lessen the chance that this happens again, always safely unmount your sdcard in your OS before terminating the connection on your phone.
[Desire HD Android Development] umberto1978:
Thankyou..

I 've updated to last version of your recovery.

Now formatted sd card and NOW i am performing restore..

Still in progress..

mmmhh... ok only 232 seconds to perform.

Now rebooting..... WOW every thing works fine!
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
An option I'd like to see is the ability to save the current ext4 to sdcard as a zip install file, just like titanium backup. Since i flash my ROM almost everyday i end up re-downloading 4ext from slideme almost everyday. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
[Desire HD Android Development] preacher65:
Assuming you mean the app, it's installed to /data/app, so you should only need to re-install it if you do a full wipe between flashing ROMs. Since you're flashing a ROM every day, though, I guess you're installing different ROMs, and wiping data between flashes?

The 4Ext app is always the first thing I install from the Market/Play Store after flashing a new ROM - if I wipe data and start with a clean ROM.

You could always check out ROM Cleaner, which has a cool function to backup & restore user apps, even if you choose not to use it to clean out bloatware.

An option to export a flashable zip with the app would be a nice feature, of course. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Lazarus65:
I just updated to 2.2.7 I believe, and I didn't realize it wasn't touch. Is there a way for me to revert back to recovery touch?

4ext recovery thing doesn't work.

Reality hits you hard, bro...
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
You should be able to do this from the 4EXT App

Online Install Upgrade

Say "yes" if the correct phone type is detected

The next screen that shows the recovery versions has 2 menu choices on the top TOUCH and CLASSIC. Choose TOUCH and then you can select the Touch version you want to install
[Desire HD Android Development] Lazarus65:
Thanks man. I didn't know I had an older version of the recovery updater, and once I upgraded I was able to flash recovery touch. Thanks a lot.

Reality hits you hard, bro...
[Desire HD Android Development] krzych:
Thank you very much :D I'm tired of looking at the small fonts at boot :)
