Merry Christmas everyone! :)

Unfortunately I need to leave the city for 2 days.

Before I leave though, I have about 1 hour of time.

Please, someone who's available right now who was easily able to reproduce the blank screen problem, send me a pm.

I have a new image, but I need people who were affected by this to try that out.

Not everyone was affected.

Some users all the time, some only rarely, some never.

It would be awesome to have ~3 testers.

If the problem is not solved with the new image, then I can only continue working on it once I return :(

Thank you!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Big thanks to ilostchild, Stlouie65, Invasion2, tw39515 and Jaibar who have been testing any recovery images I threw at them for hours, many, many hours and days, it looks like the mytouch 4G specific problem now finally gone.

This is no "official" release, because this is the code for the next update and 1-2 features I'd like to have in the next version are still missing, but nonetheless this is the best v1.0.0.3 yet (I'm not aware of any issues and it's a lot faster than any previous version).

It should be confirmed by some more users that the issue where the display blacklight might turn off in the middle of a recovery session is really gone.

Download: www.4ext.net/PD15IMG.zip

(copy to /sdcard, boot into bootloader and let it flash).

md5sum: e815071b1e572ee19e0bb82865a15f3c

Please report back ;)

Edit: should you still encounter this display turning blank issue (which is very unlikely), then please don't pull the battery immediately. Recovery is running, it's just the display.

So if you are in the middle of a backup or restore operation, wait some minutes so you can make sure the process is finished before you do that!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] The Archangel:
Going to test it right now

If I helped, give thanks, if you please.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] ilostchild:
try to grab a flash light or another phone that has a flash to see where its at , and navigate out of the recovery if the backlight does turn off, but it wont turn off and should never ever again!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Waiting for your feedback ;)

It is NOT allowed to turn off ;)

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mr Bill Florida:
I have done several backup's and restore's, in fact I have been in recovery since I flashed the new recovery and had it charging as well as on battery with no issues.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] stlouie65:
You guys ROCK! Let's get this recovery tested thoroughly so Maxx can go live with it. I've been trying to make it black out since this afternoon, it's holding strong.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] tw39515:

Hey man thanks. Sorry I havebt been available for the past few days. I had a basketball tournament (we won btw!!!) But I will continue to help :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
You can keep it.

It's nearly the same.

If you already have that flashed I'd wait for the release. There will be some additions for the Desire more functionality for interactivity in updater-scripts and 1-2 little changes.

Thank you! I've been following this like a mad man and this is by far one of the best mods you can do if you're into flashing... 100x better than clockworkmod... thanks again! Going to remake a backup to test...

Using for some time now. Works fine, pretty and comfortable to use. Didn't notice any quirks. Great job! Thanks a lot.

Only issue I've found so far: when opening the partition info window ('glance at the other side' ;) ) from control app-it shows the version as 1.0.0.3 beta7... :)

[myTouch 4G Android Development] mustk1ll20:
Flashed this. Downloaded and flashed ics but did a backup first. ics flashed and booted no problem. After about an hour tried to recover my backup and got a ” could not format system” error. Can format manually but when trying to recover it fails. Had to install ics again and install cwm then go back and recover my backup. Installed no problem.

Did the normal wipe everything before installing.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gmlawrence33:
Working great, thank you!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dave5777:
Works great! Converted everything to Ext4.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thanks very much for the feedback :)

Released ;)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] alijs:
ok,, great work...

now the silly question: how to get rid of clockwork recovery???

Edit: sorry,, done that already. thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] montoya.brandon:
Idk if this is happening to anyone else with touchcovery but for some reason when I restore bindroid Rom and a couple others it abort restoring my sd-ext partition is anyone else having that problem
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
There is no known issue regarding that,

Could you send me your recovery.log after you tried doing that?

Please send it to madmaxx82@mailspot.at so we might find out why that happened.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bmakk2055:
+1 when I restore virtuous affinity,what is sd-ext partition?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
What do you mean?

If you restore a rom that uses sd-ext you must make sure that you have an sd-ext partition when you do that which is similar in size.

If this is the case and it still doesn't restore, then please send me a recovery log to madmaxx82@mailspot so I can find out what the problem is.

If there's a problem with that, then it must be exclusive to the myTouch 4G which is strange and unlikely, but nothing is impossible of course.

I need the log ;)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bmakk2055:
How do I make log?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
The most simple way is to boot your rom and open the app to use the contact button. There just check the option to include the last log and it will be done automatically.

If you cannot boot the rom after the failure, enter the tools menu and select "copy recovery.log to sdcard"

It will be copied to your sdcard into your 4ext folder.

It's important that you do that after the failure occurred in the same recovery session.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thanks got it!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Found the problem!

Happened if your sd-ext partitions were formatted with ext3.

I will fix this now.

Could you or someone else who had that problem please try the fix?

It was a really stupid mistake.. just one line missing in the config file for the myTouch 4G.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bmakk2055:
Yeah sure
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Ok, please grab it ;)

Beta 9 is online.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] montoya.brandon:
will do about to restore then send through 4ext app
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thnx!

You don't need to send any log if it worked.

I'm very certain that it's fixed. But a confirmation would be nice ;)

[myTouch 4G Android Development] wolfepakt:
It seems that the new recovery isn't reporting to recovery control quite right. I updated to beta 9, and recovery control still showed beta 7.

I'm having problems restoring backups I've created using 4Ext recovery..

any help?

thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
thnx will do ;)

Sorry that I didn't reply to your pm yet. Will do that a bit later ;)

Yellow is right. Yellow means = your installed version ;)

What problem do you have exactly?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] alijs:
don't know, a start loop!!

every thing was normal yesterday I've created many backups & restored them normally, but not today

One more thing I believe its related, upon restoring I wipe,, today I'm having the following error on Dalvik cash wipe "E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]"
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
A bad backup maybe.

Please format all partitions in the wipe menu (select "format all partitions (except sdcard)"), then restore the backup again.

After you restored the backup, don't reboot, but enter tools menu and select copy recovery.log to sdcard.

After that use "toggle usb storage" and please zip the folder 4ext on your sdcard and send it to me via email: madmaxx82@mailspot.at

then try to reboot
[myTouch 4G Android Development] alijs:
Thanks,

I mailed you 4Ext

After reboot, still in loop
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
I know why you get the loop ;)

Did you convert your partitions to ext4 for that backup?

I unpacked your roms boot.img.. the rom mounts your partitions with ext3..

This will fail if you converted your partitions to ext4.

To quickly resolve that, enter the tools menu, select "convert or change a backup -> ext3", select "change one of your backups" -> select your backup

Then restore again!

Edit: if you want to convert any of your partitions to ext4, you must first make sure that your rom supports that. Usually most roms do that.. but not all.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] alijs:
yes, I did. but before that I couldn't restore any of my 3 backups, after conversion only one I could restore back which is CM7.2 Darky.

I updated to beta 9 now, I took a new backup & will try to restore back.

Did you notice Dalvik error in my previous post?

Thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
No.

You cannot convert your partitions to ext4 if your rom doesn't support that!

Before you restore the backup for this rom, convert the backup back to ext3!

Otherwise nothing will work..
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cmdmilitia13:
Do I have to convert everythin To ext 4? My system reads ext 4 but the other 2(cnt remember the names) are still ext 3.. It was seen on the info menu within the Recovery .
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
No you don't need to.

But if one of your partitions is formatted with ext4, then it's an indicator that your rom supports ext4, so you can convert all of your partitions that are currently ext3 to ext4 without a problem.

ext4 is faster than ext3 (how much depends on usage)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] alijs:
that worked perfectly,, appreciate your support
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thanks :)

Glad your problem is solved ;)

For the future: if you want to convert anything to ext4, just check before if the rom supports that.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
If anyone is confused by ext3 vs ext4 and doesn't want to touch that topic, please just use this recovery like any other recovery.

You do not need to use that feature to convert partitions..

If you don't mess with converting partitions to another file system, then everything will work, always.

Thanks 4 the reply..understand it better now lol

scrolling in recovery is stiky( not that much! and in the format opyion i need to tap twice to select abd option

if this was mentioned before ignore my coment

i hope this help in development of the recovery very good tool :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thnx, yes scrolling still needs to be improved.

Please reinstall it via the app.

I updated beta 9.. please tell me if the need to tap twice is reduced (should only happen rarely) and if scrolling is a little bit better.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Onefast:
just a question, did you add haptic feedback on beta 9? it seems to register first touch, also!

[myTouch 4G Android Development] invasion2:
I had major restore problems last night. I wiped data and clicked restore on a backup, but I got /system mounting errors. Then I couldn't even get into recovery, so I had to flash CWM through adb...it was bad. But when I restored the backup I tried, it worked with CWM. So I'm not sure what happened, but just reporting.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
No, should have been there since beta 8 or 7 :)

Maybe you had switched it off sometimes on classic and now you removed your 4ext folder or 4ext.prop?

Thank you very much for the info.

I fixed a bug that was introduced yesterday with a silent update to beta 9.

Please reinstall. The fixed version is now online.

Thank you!

Just got a Bluetooth mouse. It worked with my laptop. Try connecting to phone and it pairs but wont connect. It did connect once somehow but wasn't even working. Now I can't get it to connect at all. It looks like it connects for a split second then goes back to just saying paired.

Any help is appreciated
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] roadrash7:

What ROM are you running, stock, or something else? What carrier are you with? Are you certain the sender is sending high quality images and they aren't being resized before being sent?

I actually have this exact same problem, but it's particular to the ROM I'm running. More specifically, the problem is with the Mms.apk that is included in the ROM I'm on not playing 100% well with T-mobile. Another point of information is that I have tested a 100% stock unmolested SGS2 with T-mobile and it receives MMS pictures at higher resolutions just fine.

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------

Well, I may have spoken too soon. I just tried an Mms.apk from a different 2.3.6-based T-mobile ROM and no dice there either (for me). Last night I tried a bone-stock SGS2 that hadn't taken the update yet and it worked fine at that point.

This thread over here may be more appropriate for further conversation if this is just a 2.3.6 general problem:

IT FITS.

For all of us who tried to do the right thing... get the Galaxy Nexus and protect such a beast with the Otterbox case that Verizon is selling:

I was worried after I saw how bad the standard battery performs and went through all the steps; customizing the menu, getting apps that control cpu and functions, and calibrating the battery...etc.

At the same time, I ordered the extended battery, assuming the Otterbox would be substituted by some gel case and that I would just need to deal with a bulkier phone (not that the GN is bad at all).

Battery came with extended battery case and it totally fits in the Otterbox, without removing the back Otterbox plastic cover or doing any odd alterations. It just fits so the size is the same, a little more weight but it's nothing.

Gonna calibrate the battery now...

I read somewhere that this was the "right" feeling phone and that Google designed this! And that Verizon in the slim-battery, slim-phone wars set this in motion. Why the negative press about Google flagship is "worth it" to a VZ exec I dont know... but all these phones should have come with the "extended" battery as standard. And extended should realy do that... extend the battery life and not make us feel that the phone is underperforming with the "standard" (included) battery it ships with.

Booya!

Hope I'm happier with this once I finish charging the new battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dspcap:
I have the extended battery and just got my Otterbox Commuter case and it fits perfectly. Very very happy with both !!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asianrage:
I'm assuming that you're referring to the Defender case?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deekayy:
Good to know.. waiting for one that has a kickstand also for the extended battery gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] romanvail:
Yes. Defender! It is defending well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
I can confirm the otterbox commuter fits with the extended battery. 2 of the corners have a slight gap, the other 2 corners fit just fine. Case still works perfectly though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xformulax:
I got the kickstand case at verizon (it was free, long story) and it fits fine with the extended battery as long as you dont put the battery cover on... the rear is completely protected so you're not leaving anything exposed (though i guess it could be more vulnerable to light water damage where it would not if you had the back on) but overall i'm pretty happy with the kickstand case... wish it had corner protection though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kjwalker:
How do you like your Commuter? I have mine, but I have no GNex yet!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] type_2:
How much thinner is the Commuter versus the Defender? I have the defender but the included screen protector is garbage. I might pick up the commuter if it's thinner than the defender.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] android01:
i have used goobegone to remove the defender screen protector from the top bezel of my nexus one. and then installed an aftermarket protector directly to the screen. It was a perfect combo too. Is this how the defender screen protector is too? Removable by peeling off and removing the adhesive?
