I'm having some touch issues. When I choose 'install zip from sdcard', it freezes for about 10-20 seconds, then goes to my sdcard. Never had this happened before!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:

I actually think it's because of the ROM I'm using. Its CordeDroid, and it flashed 4EXT touch with a theme. Before, this didn't happen..So how do I get rid of the theme maybe?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Trust me exactly that was fixed. Please redownload the pre release version.

But for the record, you can uninstall any 4ext theme from inside the tools menu

Just installed the new RC. Holy smokes, what a UI improvement. Scrolling was kind of jerky before. Now its smoooooooth.

Very nice.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
new version: rc1 testing 8:

Files and folders are now sorted case insensitive.

Changed the behaviour when pulling down the statusbar.

fixed a bug with offmode charging on the Inspire 4G where the screen didn't turn off (when charged in a powered off state). Thanks a lot to Ronin_2 for reporting and testing the fix!

Theming:

fixed a bug where you couldn't change the button frame colours.

added new theme options:

One new image:

bar_handle.png: displayed when pulling down the statusbar (previously statusbar.png was displayed there).

New properties:

menu.row.even.offset = space on the left and right side of the display that should be excluded when using a different colour for even rows.

menu.row.selected.offset = space on the left and right side of the display that should be excluded from a colour change when a menu item gets highlighted.

menu.row.frame.offset = space on the left and right side of the display that should be excluded for the menu item separator line

Thanks a lot to craacK for a lot of suggestions and testing

hello, i flashed this recovery, and everything went well, it's amazing.

but about a week later, i got the E:/can't mount /cache errors?

it's fixed now (was corrupted), but when i asked, someone posted saying that the recovery was corrupted, and was the cause of that error??

went back to 4EXT Recovery RC5... hope you can get this fixed soon. thanks :)

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Okaham:
but i have the good chip SEM04G???
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Hi!

I cannot fix that, because that's no bug in recovery ;)

This error only means that recovery was unable to mount your cache partition.

This is usually the case when the file system on your cache partition got corrupted.

If that happens, any recovery would print that error or a similar one.

A simple wipe /cache would have resolved that.

Why your cache partition got messed up in the first place I do not know.

There are several possible reasons for that.. unclean shutdowns paired with bad luck, or hboot changes are 2 of them.

Edit: it may also happen when you flash a new rom that formats /cache with a different file system than you had before.

Before you don't reboot the recovery afterwards you would get that message, because recovery didn't know about the file system change and as such couldn't mount /cache again.

This is nothing to worry about if it doesn't happen on a regular basis.

Just wipe cache and everything will be fine again.

The Touch recovery is in no way different to Classic regarding what you experienced.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] unhappybirthday:
Did you flash the most recent MT4G radio prior to your cache partition problem? It is a known issue with that particular radio zip. Gotta format cache afterwards.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Everyone please upgrade to rc2.

A Bug has been found in rc1 that affected automatic actions initiated via Recovery Control when the checkbox to "stay inside recovery" was checked.

Thanks very much to apx for reporting!

After everything was complete, recovery did not boot the userinterface / menu.

Sorry for the trouble.

RC1 was in testing for long enough. I did the mistake of changing one line of code before I uploaded the final RC1.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] invasion2:
We lost :( but we'll keep going. Anyway keep developing and nice job on this touchcovery. Its amazingly accurate with the touch

The usb unbrick option is only useful for the Desire. hence it's not available for any other device.

Thanks :)

You can disable it completely is you like.

I will add a switch to adjust the strength in the next version.

If you want to disable it, open the app, enter recovery section then recovery settings and disable the haptic feedback option.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] saranhai:
is that option only for the Pro version of the app? cause i can't seem to find that option in the free version...:confused:

Thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Yes it is.

If you have the free app you can change the setting manually though by editing 4ext.prop.

Just open the file and look for a line with the word "haptic" .. set it to no and it won't virbate any longer ;)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] saranhai:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] kaxiniao:
Is it possible to create a folder with the path /sdcard/4EXTRecovery/backups/ when backing up ROMs with 4EXT REC? I think doing this will not confuse us where the backup is. It's weird that we found the 4EXT backups in the CWM folders.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wolfepakt:
I believe that Maxx did that so for consistency. You make a back up with CWM then decide to try 4EXT, and 4EXT can see and restore that back up.

So long as it is a tar backup (I think that yaffs2 is the old way) and CWM can restore a 4EXT back up.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
What you guys think of cwm touch compared to this one I know cwm is in beta still though

Do you think it will become more stable than 4ext?

Because 4ext froze on me twice kinda scared to use it but I like the ui, and the pull down change log
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Yes thanks it's exactly like that. Furthermore there are apps like titanium that expect your backups at that location

sent from a phone using xda premium
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Why didn't you contact me?

My top priority is stability! I'm currently unaware of any stability issues.

I cannot fix any bugs if people who experience issues don't tell me about it.

I cannot check all threads everyday as I'm very busy with an Update for 4ext app and the recovery!

Please send me a bugreport via the app or by email and tell me which version you were using where this freeze happened.

@Everyone: I take great care of my recovery and I will never stop to fix bugs asap. I want 4ext to be as stable as possible.

But for that to work I need to know about any issues in the first place.

When I read posts telling about general instability problems I'm a bit disappointed that I wasn't the first one you contacted about that.

Thank you.

Edit: Btw as mentioned in a news notice: please delete your 4ext folder when upgrading from a previous version to RC3!

This is sometimes necessary. After the next update of 4ext recovery control and the updater app, you don't need to do that anymore as the app will take care and fix up your config if necessary automatically.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] acer2220:
So 4ext replaces rommanager and CWR?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Yes, but you can still use rom manager if you wish.

On first use it will want to flash CWMR though. Either let it proceed and afterwards reflash 4ext (it won't try to replace 4ext a second time).

Or override that behaviour in Rom Manager settings.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wealthy23:
Also you can use rom toolbox with it as well it will reroute it to 4ext recovery to do the work in recovery
[myTouch 4G Android Development] craacK:
or use (and buy) the 4EXT APP :D

[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thank you very much!

Do you have the official version flashed via the app? I ask because I had done that on a certain preview version I posted here.

The official one doesn't have that though.

If you once had this preview flashed, you need to delete your 4ext folder on your sdcard to get rid of that delay though.

It was a side effect of a new half-way implemented feature.

Assumed you have the latest official one already, please delete your 4ext folder and it should be gone ;)

Had a question, I wanted to try 4EXT because I heard such good things about it but was wondering if for some reason I don't like it or it doesn't play well with my phone would I be able to go back to CWM? IF so do I just download ROM Manager and instal CWM from that or some other process?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] invasion2:
Yes, you would just flash CWM over 4EXT. Use the ROM Manager app and install it like you said. :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] unhappybirthday:
You should be able to flash CWM from ROM Manager, no problem. You won't want to go back, though :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Falzo:

Awesome

This updater is sweeeet. Movie over CWM, i love the fact you can change the theme on it too. I'll be definitely buying this, i love the hdd feature, it works great for not having to mess with the phone when its actually on! Well in the GUI rom i mean :D. *drools* Im stickin with this. But whats the dif with the control section than the updater?? Will i "have" to buy in 3 days after the expiration time?? Or can i still use this?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Hi,

thanks :)

No you don't need to buy it! The recovery itself will always be the same.

Once the trial is over though, the app will revert to what it is: the free Updater.

This means that the "recovery" and "themes & more" menus will disappear.

What stays is the power menu, online update, notification features and the contact/bugreport button :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Awesome recovery man, thank you. :) I sent you a pm.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] jjbadd385:
I would reccomend buying it..I did and haven't regretted it. madmaxx82 works extremely hard on this and has NEVER failed to reply to any email I have sent him, whether it was about 4ext or otherwise...CWM doesn't come close to this!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Preluder:
is this .apk file flashable thru hboot ? because cant get my phone past tmo screen
[myTouch 4G Android Development] invasion2:
1. Not good to quote a whole OP.

2. No, you install the apk then flash recovery through the apk.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Not the apk, but the image ;)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Preluder:
Im sorry for being a total noob but what do I do with the image ? can I rename it to pd15img and flash it? would that get me rid of cwm and replace it with 4ext ?

how am I going to install the .apk if the phone doesnt turn on :confused:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
If you already have a custom recovery installed (you mentioned cwm?) and your rom currently doesn't boot, why do you want to upgrade to 4ext in that state and NOW?

Why not use the simplest way: get your rom running again with the recovery you already have and update to 4ext the simple way later on?

Flashing this image won't setup your recovery config for example.

So you should do that once you are back in your rom anyway (install the apk).

If you still want to use 4ext now, you can flash it via fastboot:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Or take a pd15img, remove everything inside except android-info.txt and put the recovery image into it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Preluder:
I have a problem with my phone and I wanted to try a different recovery to fix it It wont bootup past the htc screen, and when I try to flash pd15img 2.2.1 it just says update in progress... for hours till my battery dies, and once im in cwm it gives me these errors

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/commad

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open /Cache/recovery/log

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

Hmm.. maybe you have a problem with your current firmware.

However to fix those cache errors, do the follwoing in fastboot:

fastboot erase cache

However: recovery is not involved when you flash a bootloader flashable zip.. so this might not solve the problem you have :/
