Official news:

- Source wont be available till post new year, so multi-rom and other additional custom features (listed below) wont be available until then...

- Recovery maintains it's code for physical keys, so a switch to enable them would be perfectly doable...

- TeamWin is trying to compile a testing version cuz the lastest code commits screwed booting on O1, now we are in the process to see which of the lastest commits is guilty...

So we will have a working test version ASAP

Port news (After source is released):

° Many features from RZRecovery will be added:

- Recovery overclock (potentially increase backup/restoring times)

- Plugin support (This is, ability to run custom shell scripts)

- Others i dont remember right now but i consider useful

Great news, we are waiting :)

TWRP v2.0.0 Early Beta RELEASED!

Install instructions and download link on first post!

kbzona has provided two themes. You have to use one of them in order to fix UI misplacments (texts out of the boxes, etc).

ENJOY. :)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] khoa02061986:
"return" - the hard keyboard?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] MaKTaiL:
Yes. Return button remains the same.

How are you liking the new recovery so far? :)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] sweetnsour:
it has a lot of potential. only problem for me is that the text doesn't fit in some boxes. I almost partitioned my SD card because the text was not even present in the box :p
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] MaKTaiL:
Follow installations instructions.

You have to use one of the themes to fix misplaced texts on screen.

If possible, can you please test wiping of Data and System?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] sweetnsour:
It didn't say that installing the themes would fix the issue. I thought the themes were optional.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] MaKTaiL:
Sorry, I'll edit first post with more information. Let me know if the misplaced text is fixed after using one of the themes ;)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] :
Thinking that the TWRP/theme folder is created it isn't... I downloaded the recovery zip and the blue-ui. Zip, renamed to ui. Zip than rebooted to flash recovery... Can we get a more thorough explanation?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] dzhonsons:
Working great so far. Thank you! :)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] MaKTaiL:
Create the folder yourself and put the ui.zip inside it.

/sdcard/TWRP/theme/
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] sachin kamboj:
Is it a flashable zip? :confused:If so can i flash it through cwm (current version 5.0.2.0)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] MaKTaiL:
Yes, it's a flashable zip. Follow installation instructions on second post.

Don't forget to pick one of the themes in order to fix misplaced text on screen.

Let me know what you think of this new recovery and any bugs if you find one.

Enjoy! :D
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] sachin kamboj:
A tiny bug

best recovery ever:D

but there is a very small bug... after applying theme the text box is fixed but some words (not in text box) go out of the screen for example after selecting backup the last line goes out of the screen (observe for urself).

Btw: is there any way of renaming backups? Dates make me confused.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] MaKTaiL:
I think you can. Just rename the folder to anything you like and try to see if it works.

BTW, how is the recovery so far? I've tested wiping Data once and it didn't work. I'd like to know if it's only me.

If possible, can you test it later? Thank you and Marry Christmas! :D
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] sachin kamboj:
Firstly i cleared cache, battery status nd davlik cache i dont know about cache & battery status ( my cache was alredy wiped out) but davlik cache did work as it took longr go boot

Second time i wiped system and rotation but phone did not boot after 3 tries ( waited fr 2-3 minutes) maybe my fault but could be a bug had to restore backup

Renaming backup did work :D.

Another prob. Is recovery takes too long to start compared to cwm as it starts instantly... hope these things are fixed in the next update:rolleyes: espesially that the "text goes out of the screen" problem and merry xmas to u too:D
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] MaKTaiL:
When you wipe System you are wiping the ROM you installed. That's why it wouldn't boot.

When you made the backup, did you use the compression or did you just make a normal backup?

I'd like to know if compression is working.

Recovery is starting fast here, except for the first boot since it creates save files on SDCard.

Thank you for your feedback. :)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] sachin kamboj:
At first i did the backup without compression but now i did it with compression , restored it nd it worked although it took 639 seconds while normal one took 240... btw does compression means the backup will take less space or something else? I cant read the longer lines properly because they go out of the screen so at first i thought unchecing it would be ok

Starting the recovery takes around 45 seconds eventhough i launched it many times another small defect ive noticed is that after making a backup sometimes the main menu is on the left side and sometimes in the middle

The touch screen needs improvement but its amazing to have touch support for a recovery!
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] MaKTaiL:
Yes, compression means it will take less space on sdcard. Recovery is booting fast for me, but since it's an early beta, different loading times can occur.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] DaXmax:
Will Kbzona comes back to xda?

Sent from my Digital Ice Cream which u can send it from below the cone...
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] MaKTaiL:
I doubt he will. He is still mad about what they did to him here. I don't know specifics but I guess I'll be in charge of posting his work on xda for now.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] khoa02061986:
I think it will replace the Cwm and AmonRA in the future, but also many things to fix and improve.

For example, why not 100% full touch "while using the keyboard back"; redesigned interface -> prevent "hit the wrong"

Finally, thanks to the enthusiasm and creativity of your

[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] MaKTaiL:
I couldn't understand a thing you just said. :confused:
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] vikasb32:
Ok sory for my bed english.my problem is that i am using link2sd and it only support ext2 but when i restore backup created using this recovery my link2sd dosenot mount my second partition because twrp format my 2nd partition in ext4 and my link2sd doesn't support ext4 partition.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] acax456:
Link2sd support all ext you can try tthis.

Go to link2sd press menu button -> more -> recreate mount scripts choice ext4 and reboot
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] vikasb32:
I know that but my stock rom dos not support ext3 and ext4.for ext3 link2sd give error "invalid argument" and for ext4 give error "no such device".
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] skhamsala:
@ MaKTail... where r we with this ?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] MaKTaiL:
No words from kbzona yet. The last thing he said was that the source codes had some problems and that TWRP was trying to solve it by the end of this week.

So just like the title says, which of these two do you guys prefer? I'm currently running octane, I just wanted to see some other opinions!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Just try them both and decide for yourself. There pretty painless to flash between.

I have tried both, i just want to see other peoples opinions.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Cool. I'm running Valhalla right now. Just gonna wait till Raver does the themed version. But for me octaine is the way to go.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Cheffz:
They are both great roms - I also have tried them both

The devs are really putting a foot into what we are seeing

don't forget about ICBINB and AOSP :)

It'd only be fair to wait till the themed version of octaine is released to make an accurate judgement

Well, bout is good, my favorite is octane, for Better video, an audio.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
IMO, Octane is superior to Valhalla if you only look at multimedia functions (games, video, music, etc.) I've noticed that games lag much less on Octane and Quadrant tests during the graphics portion show significant FPS differences.

However, the reason I prefer Valhalla over Octane is because it has less FCs. Octane seems to FC on me a lot, despite flashing from a clean slate.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thenicksherman:
Awesome, I agree that they're both awesome, and they both are very different.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] smokinu:
Hey. First post, but have been reading this site for over a month.

Both ROMs are great, however I prefer Octane due to the smoothness. No FC issues.

Does anyone know how I can add quickpanel toggles to the notification menu? Since Octane 3.0 is still un-themed, I no longer have the quick toggle for Data ON/OFF. I've come to depend on this from Octane 2.0.

Valhalla also has similar toggles, however the data toggle is scrolled to the right. Any way to change the order?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
U::

There's a way but it requires a lot of editing of many things... Unless you know your way around xml and Java...

I'm sure when raver makes his tricked out octane it'll have nice toggles

Any idea if we can remove the clock from the status bar with Valhalla final?

I haven't tried Valhalla but I'm really liking octane 2.0 because of the ics look , I wanted 3.0 but no theme. I'll have to try vf. I'm a noob to this, so hopefully I won't mess up my phone (again) lol :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
Hey guys, just putting together a thread for a round-up for Cases for the Galaxy Nexus that includes/has a Belt Clip Holster with it.

Looks like Seidio came out with their famous awesome Surface case with holster combo, unfortunately it's like the Nexus S case because of the curve/humb on the back, so it's not a slide-on case, it's a snap on front/back, which I didn't like on the Nexus S.

http://www.seidioonline.com/PhotoGallery.asp?ProductCode=BD2-HR3SSGNL-BK

Seidio Active Combo Case with Holster:

Active case is a combination of silicone and hard plastic.

Works with GSM 2000mah Extended Battery, VERY tight fit though

http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BD2-HK3SSGNLK-BK

Anyways just searching on eBay found some case+Holster combos.

Posting it here to ask if anyone has them, or want to buy them and let us know!

Qmadix "Holster Shell Combo"

Works with GSM 2000mah Extended Battery.

My review of this case: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20751992

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...er-Shell-Combo-Qmadix-US-Seller-/270870724231

PureGear Case Holster Belt Clip Kickstand:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...ase-Holster-Belt-Clip-Kickstand-/350516211396

Verizon's Case + holster combo kickstand (Exactly the same as above but with different pattern):

http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/...ryDetails&archetypeId=12926&accessoryId=49884

Verizon sells it in a bundle (with car charger) and seperate in stores. Online only the bundle.

Otterbox Defender Series:

Looks like holster can be used both screen in and screen out.

http://www.otterbox.com/Samsung-Gal...or=20&start=1&cgid=samsung-galaxy-nexus-cases

Generic:

This one looks like the Qmadix case/holster but is a bit different:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Protector-C...rizon-Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-i515-/310364277257

Generic Case, 2 piece snap on like Seidio Surface. No felt inside. Very cheap price:

http://shop.htcpedia.com/galaxy-nexus-holster-case-combo.html

Anybody find any more?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] czonin:
Can you also point out those that work with the extended battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beardedspoooon:
I have an Otterbox Defender, phone can go in both ways. Screen out for if you want to use the kickstand.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neederishelp:
are there any non-defender holsters that cover the top and bottom of the GN? once the horizontal dock comes out in the US, i'm getting that, and i'll be taking it out of the case often.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
UPDATE, found another case/holster combo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pictureaday:
I really want to get a holster for the gym, but I haven't heard enough about any of the available options to order one yet. Hoping some owners will chime in here!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neera:
Of course not to forget the official Verizon shell/holster combo.

It has a built in kickstand.

I'm using this one right now actually. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mystery252:
I have the Qmadix and it takes a little flexing to get it right, but you can use it with the extended battery. I've had multiple Qmadix shell/holsters for multiple devices, and they never disappoint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDRFAN:
Seidio released another case: The Seidio Active case. I'm hoping that the size of the case is similar to the otterbox Commuter; and I will be using them in conjunction. If not, I'll probably try to mod the otterbox to fit. here's hoping.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyle1745:
Anyone try just a holster with a jel type case?

After the incredible and losing one from the Verizion case I'm not going that direction again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgmorris:
That's good to hear as I just ordered one of these off eBay.

I used a side pouch for my Droid and was thinking of doing the same for the GN but it's just too darn slick to easily grab and putting a case on it makes it too big to remove from the holster w/o using 2 hands.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordo_99:
Still needs this one added to the list.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
Yeah this one is exactly like the ebay "PureGear Case Holster Belt Clip Kickstand" I posted above, but with different pattern.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
I've also bought the Qmadix case, it should arrive in a few days. Will post a full review.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Powell730:
+ 1, would love to hear which ones fit extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
Looks like Seidio updated their website to say that their cases are compatible with the LTE and International GSM version now. I also emailed them earlier this week and they said they're compatible with the same case.

Anyone have the Surface case for the GSM yet? Is the phone loose in the case?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LeCore:
i got my seidio active tonight, great case and holster. it's almost the exact same size as the surface case and you can use the extended battery and extended cover without any issues. THIS will be the case i use for the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arimus:
I have the GSM version of the Nexus, I am also interested in both the Seidio and Qmadix anyone here know or can report if these cases/holster work on the GSM version ? are they tight fit or a bit lose ?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestD1098:
Can you post some pics? If this is true it'll be the case I use as well. Currently using the Verizon shell/holster without the battery cover and I dont much like having to leave it that way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LeCore:
sure..

they seem to have cut down a little on bulk from the other active cases, as far as protection level goes i'd say it's a little below the defender but will suit my needs just fine

the small gaps between the skeleton and the silicone on the bottom of the phone back and front are due to the extended battery and cover in there. i personally have no problem at all with these gaps since the case flexes to accommodate the battery rather than compresses too tight and force fits it.

if you want any more let me know
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Wow, thanks for the pictures, very nice. One last thing I cannot make out from them, is the notification LED covered? I cannot tell if thats the silicone going around the front of it right there, I also hardly notice the gaps, and even then over time my guess is that they would slowly close up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LeCore:
the LED is not covered by any silicone, the silicone just wraps around the front of the bezel and that's it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 2manycells:
Thanks for creating this thread. I like the Qmadix and Verizon holster cases (less bulky than the others) except for the fact that the top and bottom of the phone do not seem to be protected but rather exposed from the pictures, which I can't understand why they would design the case that way. : (

I ordered the generic case holster from ebay about two weeks ago, still waiting for it to come, hope it is a relatively decent product.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infinite_loop:
Thanks for the pics!

Couple questions:

-Could you post a pic comparing the thickness of the active and defender?

-Can the kickstand work in portrait?

-Is the active more or less of a lint/dust magnet compared to the defender? (the silicone part anyway)

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LeCore:
when i get a chance i'll try to clip some, but verbally...

-the defender is actually a little thinner because of the kickstand on the active, but generally i'd say they were roughly the same

-the kickstand doesn't work in portrait

-i don't pocket my phone and it's only been cased for about 18 hours and so far it's not a problem. here's something that you might have a problem with it you're looking at pocketing the active... the silicone around the bezel fits well BUT can be pulled away from the screen fairly easily since it's really only held there by the snugness of the silicone itself and the 6 points from the skeleton. i can see the area under the silicone here getting a little grimy with lint and finger grease. it's not that big of a concern of mine since it will be holstered 80% of the time and the case is easily taken off without having to worry about breaking a plastic clip or excess fuss stripping it. in all reality i'll prolly only stay cased until some of the pin docks and accessories end up in the wild, from that point i'll end up skinned and naked with hopefully a naked holster from seidio since their holsters rock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] afmracer6:
I got the case mate barely there cover. It DOES NOT work with the extended battery. Lame
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LeCore:
for those people who have or like the diztronic case, it fits in the seidio surface holster really well. a tad loose, but you can take up the slack with some stick on felt pads or something on the bottom of the holster. either way, the cased phone fits securely and won't fall out or excessively jiggle. (this is with the extended battery and cover).

note tho, the volume rockers aren't right on that diztronic case, chase that in other threads to get the case to not auto volume down on ya.

hmm.. now i'm interested to see if the commuter fits in the active holster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Powell730:
Yeah that's another thing I meant to mention about the diztronic case.. The volume keys don't match up... In fact, I took my case off and I'm back to naked until I find something else.

I just didn't like it at all.. It's very thin but too slippery and I didn't like the volume key issue.

Edit: may be going back on... Just dropped the damn thing.. :O
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dbrown2:
Hello,

I just wanted to pass along another case option. I ordered this one from NewEgg.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875992686

Looks to be the same case:

http://www.wirelessground.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-shell-holster-combo.html

It works with the extended VZW battery and battery cover. It is a little hard to snap together (two parts front and back), but it does work. It does snap and the holster is felt covered to protect your screen.

10.00 was not bad. I do see they are out of stock, so not sure if they will get more or not.

I got the otter defender, but boy is it big and makes the phone really large (hard to hold in your hand).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDRFAN:
I noticed you have both the Otterbox and the Active case. Does the otterbox fit in the Active's holster? Can I see some profile shots (on their sides) please?

EDIT: Just realized, you have the defender and not the commuter. Disregard this ):

Much appreciated if you could. (:
