NoI like the newest update's "Premium crash reporting" ability to submit a report right from the main program. Max, I sent one your way regarding my custom theme not being saved and restored when I flashed a new ROM, as per the settings.

Thanks!!!

Quick question (tapatalk search didn't find an answer):

Does Superwipe format the /sdcard as well (NOT what I want)

Re: [TOUCHCOVERY] 4EXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.5 RC 9

Is it possible to make a 4ext recovery for HTC one x evita att. I was on the HTC inspire and had flashed this as my recovery as soon as I found out about it. it would just make things easier and nicer over here if we had this on our threads too

[Desire HD Android Development] s0ulreaver:
On the DHD the latest version included the option to also wipe the 'lib' partition mounted in the system

Could we have an option to also wipe the GPS partitions?

I see a lot of people complaining about GPS problems and one of the suggested fixes was to wipe the GPS partitions:

Thanks!
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
what lib partition? there is no lib partition. all libs are installed on the /system partition.

yes there are two partitions containing agps data, though wiping them is not needed. you can use gps status from play store which actually does it (it doesn'T formate the partition which would need root, but it issues a command deleting the stored agps data).
[Desire HD Android Development] s0ulreaver:
My mistake, sorry. It's called 'system_lib'
[Desire HD Android Development] hrkh83:
Somewhere in the OP you said:

If you somehow lost those files, there's a direct download for a version you can flash via fastboot.

The direct link leads to RC5... please fix this...

Is it at all possible for smartflash to be enabled/used on the DHD, or is there some kind of limitation or other issue that prevents it?
[Desire HD Android Development] OldakQuill:
Hi, the two settings "Backup /system/lib" and "Format /system/lib" are listed as device specific and are default unchecked. I am wondering what is the best practice in using these backup-recovery, or if there are specific circumstances where they're useful? I've searched through the forum, and Google, and read the changelog, but I haven't figured it out.
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
I think we discovered some sort of bug on my CM11 thread. This started to happen recently when I switched from set_permission to set_metadata but I can't figure out how this would be related to the issue itself. People were complaining that ROM won't boot on 2nd boot, it just stays there before bootanimation starts running with black screen and backlight on. Everything is fine when TWRP is used.

So I started digging a bit with the help of some people in my thread. This is what we have discovered this far. ROM will eventually boot up but it can take some time. The reason for the delay seems to be that fsck is running and it fills /data/lost+found/. So I run some test and in a nutshell these are the results:

Format everything in 4EXT, flash in 4EXT -> boot up delay on 2nd boot, filled lost+found under /data

Format everything in TWRP, flash in 4EXT -> no boot up delay on 2nd boot, nothing in lost+found under /data

Format everything in 4EXT, flash in TWRP -> boot up delay on 2nd boot, filled lost+found under /data

Format everything in TWRP, flash in TWRP -> no boot up delay on 2nd boot, nothing in lost+found under /data

It seems to be something with the formatting process but I don't know more. Both 1.0.0.6 RC1 and 1.0.0.6 RC2 (Build 33) versions are affected.

Steps to reproduce:

Download my nightly build 20140613 or newer: http://downloads.codefi.re/mustaavalkosta/cm-11-unofficial-ace/nightlies

Go to 4EXT and format everything except sdcard

Flash the ROM

Boot up the ROM and reboot in the beginning of setup wizard

There's a delay before bootanimation starts playing

Check /data/lost+found and you will have some files there

If you need more information and/or testing, feel free to PM me.

Edit: There are actually these fstab changes too to fix encryption:

https://github.com/AceEnablementPro...mmit/348b652a23f431f02f37e94b6ab2e7016fa877f0

https://github.com/AceEnablementPro...mmit/381521bd889d007a30338aab4b41ec15e2f37143

I have not tested yet whether the commit for the ROM side is the root cause why 4EXT started acting up. Logically that would make more sense than the set_metadata change.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Some times ago when a new Sense version became available for the -by then already "dated"- Desire HD, HTC added a new partition. The "lib" partition. Roms didn't use that extra partition at all at that time, so it made no sense to include it when formatting everything in order to flash a new rom and as such it also wasn't needed to include it in backups.

It took a while, but then some Sense roms appeared who started to make use of that partition.

If you are unsure, whether your rom uses that or not, then I suggest you turn those options on ;)

Thank you for the information. I'll contact you as you offered.

If there's something that needs fixing to prevent this sudden, odd behaviour I'd like to do that asap.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Unfortunatly this can't happen before 4ext is migrated to the latest framework :/
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
New version

Thanks [MENTION=3382363]Mustaavalkosta[/MENTION] who identified this issue and did all the debugging and testing, there's a new release which takes care of that.

If you are running latest AOSP roms I'd recommend you to upgrade to the latest recovery version before you flash your next zip or restore a backup.
[Desire HD Android Development] espmartin:

4EXT for Galaxy S4?

I'm pretty sure this recovery is strictly for HTC phones but thought I'd ask...will this ever be available in the future for Samsung phones, particularly the S4?
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
Can you upload your META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script from that zip to somewhere so I can take a look? That looks more of a ROM issue than recovery issue though at first glance.

I see that 4ext allows to format sdcard to ext4. I remember Android cannot handle ext partitions on sdcards... Am I wrong?
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
CM added support in 10.1 and "a user" confirmed that it works on ace but I haven't tried it on 11.
[Desire HD Android Development] Rendering:
So I if it works is it possible to have no FAT partitions on sdcard and have only ext4?
[Desire HD Android Development] Mustaavalkosta:
Yes but I don't know what Windows thinks about it if you try to use it via USB. If you decide to try it, PM me your results. I'm not sure if this is a proper place to discuss this because this has almost nothing to do with 4EXT.
[Desire HD Android Development] Rendering:
I don't use Windows, so it will not be a problem. Concerning the topic, I tried to talk about it in CM11 topic but I have been told to write here :)

Thank you!

Then I need to detect them at runtime.. I cannot use idc or any other calibration files as I'm reading straight from the device...

Thank you very much ;)

Yes it takes some time to get used to the touch :D it's not perfect yet, but once you get used to it (short/long press..), you won't have a lot of misses anymore.

Still: this needs to be improved.

Thanks very much!

Jotha!! Thanks mate :)

Amazing and hard work the last days figuring out all the crazy values inside theme.prop with no documentation!

Thanks very much!

And.. again I'm out of thanks button presses for the next 24h thanks to xda.. maybe we should ask Whiskey to help out :D
[Desire HD Android Development] neandertaler19:
Ok got to revoke what I said about the touch issue earlier. It only seems to be an issue of the recovery not responding quick rigth after entering. After a while it responds smooth. Earlier it just seemed as if the button was not correctly hit.

Sorry for that.

Edit: My device is a Desire HD
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
No problem at all ;)

thnx for reporting back!
[Desire HD Android Development] LorD ClockaN:
Desire HD uses synaptics touchscreen

Inspire uses Atmel touchscreen

is recovery kernel dependant?

if yes, than that could also be the issue if people are running ICS with my modified kernel for touch
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
No it's not dependant. It has its own kernel.

Thanks for posting and sorry that I reached my xda thanks limit.

Of course if the Inspire uses a different touchscreen it can't work as it should.

But it seems that some Desire HD devices also use a different touchscreen..

Although there was only 1 report about that yet, I'm sure that user is right about what he says ;)

Thanks again. A few minor snags are to be expected. No worries. You always come through with flying colors. Keep up the amazing work. It is always very much appreciated. :)

I need to get some sleep soon, but could you please send me an email to madmaxx82@mailspot.at?

Unfortunately I have to work tomorrow the whole day so it might take until thursday.. if you got time then we could take a look at that.
[Desire HD Android Development] darknessrise1234:
Inspire's and Telus DHD's have the Atmel Touchscreen, so that explains the complaints of miscalibration. Everyone elses works because they have the typical DHD, correct? Should be a matter of having someone with an Inspire or Telus DHD grabbing some config, I would think.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
That's great news!

2.1.4 installed fine.

Recovery Touch flashed fine.

I went into tools

I went into info

I went into install from sdcard

Pressed reboot now and ...... nothing.

I can get the reboot now to "flash" like it's activated, but no response from any other selection.

/wah!

ps Looks fantastic though. Very well done.

<edit> I dragged down the top bar and I can see "reboot now?" right at the bottom. What do I do or how do I activate it?

[Desire HD Android Development] JSLEnterprises:
My exact words.

Beat me to it! lol

@Maxx, is there any way you can edit the binary to save the nandroid backups into lets say "/4EXT/Backups" rather than the oldschool /clockworkmod/backups folder? This includes any references for other processes to the clockworkmod folder as well. (I honestly hate having the two folders in the sd root)
[Desire HD Android Development] henrylife:
Your concept is great, i've also thought about when i have had very low battery and want to make a phone call :) This doesn't drain battery as much as sense does :D

But being real I'm sure it's very hard to develop, let's wait madmaxx's opinion.
[Desire HD Android Development] jenizaro:

We can use as an OS when the battery level is very low :D

This is really incredible!!!

[Desire HD Android Development] chuandinh:
The recovery partition size is about 4MB, I don't think we can put much more stuff in it. However, if we use image files on SDCard just like Multiboot Manager. I think we can do it. Just need more time I think.
[Desire HD Android Development] KeyperOS:
Installed it on my DHD, working beautifully.

One thing I noticed though, the further to the right I tap, the longer the tap needs to be to be registered (the selection flashes white but isn't chosen).

The more to the left I tap, the quicker the tap registers.

Is it just my idea? If not, was that intentional?
[Desire HD Android Development] JSLEnterprises:
so thats why the new recovery img is ~5.1mb in size. The available space is a bit bigger than that.
[Desire HD Android Development] jenizaro:
So is it really possible to develop touch recovery as an OS which can perform the basic phone features like calls and sms? And if it can be done does it become a battery saver?

Can I flash it from 4ext recovery app ?
[Desire HD Android Development] JSLEnterprises:
@Jenizaro: I think that would be asking for too much. Not to mention would probably use more battery power as the screen doesn't shut off or has a varying brightness. Lol
[Desire HD Android Development] JSLEnterprises:
Yes, but you need to manually update the app to 2.1.4 as 2.1.3 doesn't see the updated version of the app (yet)
