Forgot to mention that I have no other bootloaders instlled.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
When you see the motorla boot logo. Keep pressing the menu[one of the four buttons on front. Looks like four little cubes] and it should then show yu the safestrap screen. Press menu again and it should load into recovery. You should read up a little in the forums as you can really mess your phone up if you do the wrong thing in recovery
[Motorola Droid 3] Cdjones187:
He cant even get the strap to install. Safestrap has to be installed before he can use it. There is a confirmation when its done correctly....

As far as the reason why its not installing, I'm not 100% sure. I saw another thread with the same issue your having. They had to sbf (fastboot .xml file) and then it worked. You could always try booting into the stock recovery and doing a wipe from there and then try installing safestrap again. Make sure you back up any data you dont want to loose of course.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
oh ok i understand better now. To the OP, will do some research in the morning although safestrap is new so im not sure how much i will come up with. Will try my best though =]
[Motorola Droid 3] MadderThanMad:
Possible cause of issue

@Dri I hit the menu soft key many times at the moto logo but never see a safestrap splashscreen

I think I may have found the cause of my safestrap issues.

I installed koush's bootstrap long before trying to install safestrap. I uninstalled koush's bootstrap.apk but there was no "uninstall recovery" option in the program.

Would this cause problems? If so, how does one go about removing the koush boostrap recovery?

I may just end up going into normal recovery and restoring to factory. Thank you so much for all the the helpful tips. The XDA community is awesome.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
I have to admit i forgot ot look this up in the morning, sorry for such a late reply. But after reserach i didnt find anything, probably because safestrap is new. Butttt, uninstalling koush should have been enough. I dont remember there being a uninstall button inside the app... what happens when you hit uninstall recovery?
[Motorola Droid 3] BenSWoodruff:
I may not be of much use in researching this, but I thought Koush's bootstrap/recovery had an uninstall recovery option within the app...I think you are supposed to do that before uninstalling the .apk, but you may be able to see if you reinstall the .apk and look inside the app. However, I can't see it hurting to just put the phone back to stock using the unbricking method found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1339816 I think Hash's blog had mentioned not to install Koush's app, but if you did I believe he mentioned how to get rid of it. I would try to start from fresh as possible to make sure there wouldn't be any complications in the future.

I've correctly installed Safestrap AFAIK, but can't get it to back anything up. Installing CM7 .zip from safe mode doesn't do crap. So, I'm waiting till I can get it to work before I flash any ROMs.

another update.

Is anyone even interested in this app?

Maybe it needs more features?
[Android Apps and Games] sniperfox:
I am interested in it. I'm trying out the free version (before I buy) but I notice somethings. Maybe its just me but when I watch a movie on the default player on my Evo4G, after tapping on the screen a few times, the lock disables. I can skip through the entire movie and even get out. I'm going to try it with a different player later today.

A few suggestions,

1) It would be nice if the toggle button changed (ex. inverted colors) because when I had the movie problem, I couldn't tell if it was locked or unlocked.

2) Is it possible we can change the location of the toggle button, at least like different corners because it's too close to the home button when in landscape.

One final note, when its locked, you can still drag down the notification bar. So far its looking pretty good. Let me know if I'm doing something wrong since I've only been playing with it for about 30 minutes. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] fred_be9300:
Man, this is just what I was looking for ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1431037 ). Super!

I want it for e-reading in kindle or aldiko. Tested so far briefly on Galaxy Tab 8.9 (android 3.2) and an HTC Desire (2.3.3) ... Just fine so far.

I first tried Screen Tools 2, but that one messed up the use of volume buttons for page flipping in both kindle and aldiko.

it took me a while to understand some of the options, like the meaning of "auto on toggle". Also, the toggle app shortcut only works as "on switch" for me... With touch screen disabled, the toggle can't be used to deactivate.

It also took me a while to figure out how to unlock (the use of the tiny toggle button is not documented in the settings or anywhere)

EDIT: I realize now this is what's meant by onscreen button in the settings

The option to leave the edge active is also great, although I will probably opt to switch pages with volume buttons.

EDIT: swiping pages this way works well on the tablet, but is hit and miss on the phone. The edge size may need to be user selectable?

I second the idea to color code the tiny toggle.

Great work.

EDIT: I was searching (Google) for a long time using keywords like "disable touch screen" (all about turning screen off) and "disable touch sensitivity" with no results... Until I found screen tools 2, and then very accidentally this one. :-)

---------- Post added at 01:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 AM ----------

Extra feature idea....

disable touch sensitivity along the edge only, keeping sensitivity on the center

Use case: I need something that allows me to hold the tablet a bit more firmly, in one hand, which means putting my thumb in the screen just a bit.
[Android Apps and Games] Braneless:
Sure, we're interested! I installed the app but have not yet had a chance to use it.
[Android Apps and Games] kanded:

[Android Apps and Games] hatcyl:
I can add the feature to block edges only, but there is an app called grip it which does just that.

And yes, I should probably use the icon for the status + maybe done kind of animation to tell you when toy unlock vs lock the screen.

This is a great idea! If only I could get it to work.

After it installs, I can't open it. The screen blinks when I click on the icon, then.... nothing. According to my file manager, the app is running, but I can't access it.

I have the exact same problem with Screen Tools 2.

I tried to uninstall, reboot and reinstall, but it still won't work.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus on ICS.

I'd really like to get this working. Any ideas?

After buying hardware key support, on my Galaxy S2 the home (and power) bottons still work... :( even with No Touch active, ofc. Otherwise no problems on my device, also on 2.3.4 ^^.

Also, I absolutly need a popup window on trying to unblock, for inputing a code to unlock, optionaly and maybe only on the payed for version ;). It is way too easy for my 2 and 4 year olds to unlock otherwise.

Also, I agree, change the color on button when unlocking/locking No Touch.

There are some apps that allow you to map home key to different apps. Try one of those. I think you can assign home double tap.

Suggestion/question

Great app. I have nothing to add except for one thing .... Tasker Integration (so there is an option in Tasker to run No Touch without adding Task that just runs No Touch Toggle)

I am trying to set Tasker so that when WidgetLocker is active there is No Touch, when WidgetLocker is unlocked there is Touch.

When seeting Tasker to run No Touch Toggle, I end up with no touch every other turn on display.

So I thought integrating it into Tasker may be a perfect solution. If feasible

TIA

Feature request: permanent no touch

Hi hatcyl, thank you so much for your precious app.

I found it useful but I am still missing one feature: is there a way to permanently disable touch screen? After rebooting my device, I still have to toggle No touch manually.

I chose a Qwerty device (Galaxy Y PRO) because I can't stand touch screens, and I am sure that many other Android users who were accustomed to old-styled keypad phones would appreciate getting rid of cumbersome touch functionalities for good.

Do you think there's something you could do about?
[Android Apps and Games] hatcyl:
yeah, I actually did that on purpose so that people wouldn't get locked out of their phone. Maybe I'll

Re enable it.

And to the poster above with the tasker question, sorry I didn't see that post ... But I can add that too. I'll add on and off app shortcuts.

I'll try to get to it next week...

Great App/Idea!!

Perfect for my little one. BUT!! There's no simple way to enable/disable on his Kindle. Also, the on screen toggle pixel is in the perfect position for skipping to the end of a YouTube video :( Put that button near the top maybe? Also, probably not your fault, but I've set it up as a quick nav button (long pressing home to get the ring) and while the youtube video is play, select the toggle and the video stops. Most likely the way the quick nav launches apps. I was really excited when I found this. Unfortunately, it doesn't work the way I expected or maybe I'm a cluebee.

Howdy y'all!

I just compiled a proper version of ClockworkMod recovery 5.5.0.4 off of the ICS branch of CyanogenMod.

It supports backing up boot images (I have heard that the image that is being flashed now doesn't support backing that up), and in the near future will support recovery chargemode.

This repository will hopefully contain in the near future a semi-working copy of CyanogenMod 9 also, but there's no guarantees on that one :)

So, without further ado:

Thanks for giving this looong post a read! :)

Good luck!

Shoot I'll give it a shot. Flashing now. Will edit this post after its been tested. :)

Edit: Short glance review, I know a lot of this is already stated/known but just posting it anyways :p

So firstly, I'm still getting no confirmation when I flash images (whether it be recovery or kernal) but again, I think thats from me using a VM to do all the work.

Still boots into recovery when plugged in.

Maybe I'm just being an idoit, but I couldn't get out of the keytest, had to hold power button which booted the rom.

Of course the usb mount and such works.

Will try backup later when I'm not short on downtime.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] joeykrim:
Coming from the HTC EVO 3D land with the HTC unlock method for the last 6 months .. the following tips have been very helpful.

HTC Unlock method only allows kernel write access while in two modes, fastboot and standard android mode. HTC unlock method does NOT allow a kernel to be flashed from standard recovery mode. This includes a ROM .zip with a kernel inside. The ROM will load, but the kernel will not from standard recovery mode.

The ONLY way to flash a kernel whether by performing a full nandroid restore including the kernel or flashing a ROM with a kernel inside, is to use the following command to load the custom recovery:

fastboot boot <destination of recovery.img>

example on windows: fastboot boot c:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img

Everything else will work in the standard custom recovery mode EXCEPT the ability to flash a kernel. To flash a kernel through the custom recovery, fastboot mode must be used per HTC's unlock method.

well it most definetly worked. i jus downloaded the zip file and was able to back up my settings. Only problem i have is. ( which is a similiar problem i had before this. if i powered off the phone and plug it to charge it would automatically restart the phone.) When i power off now and plug it in to charge. It automatically goes to the clockworkmod set up. none the less my phone works and i have backed it up. But i still was wondering wat could cause these problems ?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] carlosjcar:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Wild Child:
Great start for this....from what i was told theres drivers needed in the recovery for it to charge while device is off and fastboot is unchecked...device charges while fastboot is checked and device is off....

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kxhawkins:
Recovery works great for me.

BTW, the offline charge issue is usually in the chargemon file.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
for the new recovery, we will need to be using a new update-binary and when flashing a rom, your updater-script must contain 4 arguments in the format line, like this:

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p29", "0");

inside the attached zip you will find the update-binary

if you dont know what update-binary and updater-script is, then this isnt for you and you needn't concern yourself with it.
