[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rafase282:
Any news with the touch recovery? The take 3 works great but I was wondering if internal sd could be added to the mount usb option and maybe some UI redesign.

On ICS I have problem mounting the sdcards so I have to boot to recovery to transfer files no matter the rom, but I have my zips on internal normally.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rusty!:
There is no source to make changes to, it's kinda 'as it comes'.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] codecaine21:
would be possible to get the source code? I mean who writes this stuff then releases it ya know? Couldn't someone get the source from them/there?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rusty!:
CWM source is part of CM and is generally freely available, however, that is "only" the button controlled version at the mo. I'm sure Koush has his reasons for not pushing it yet.

According to the OP, for how long do you hold the volume buttons? So far I can't get this to flash at all. I get the error. I have the driver and my cable is good--I just transferred files with it. I'd be happy just to get a newer CWM. Don't care about the touch version. Any help appreciated.

Flashed that image from twitter. Provided an upgrade for sure but still looks like the older one I had. The only problem is when I take my fingers off the buttons it boots into the ROM and doesn't give my a chance to do anything.

I hold up and down on volume the entire process only takes a minute.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bowmanspeer:
Yes, it showed as apx device. So using the copy from OP produced an error. The image posted on twitter doesn't behave right. When flashing, the phone says, "Updating, Please Wait", is it supposed to say something else after a bit? OR just go ahead and unplug cable when NVflash says its done and unplug? Thank you for bearing with me. "just unplug, well I 'ejected apx device'"

Oh, nothing wrong with OP file. It was me.

After another go, when booting into recovery, When CWM comes up, I quickly release the volume down button and then press it again while still holding the power button. Then release both. It moves to the next menu but it stays after that and seems to work the way its supposed to. I think can live with it as long as it works. I had version 4. Some ROMS have newer version included. I think Ya'll no the deal.

I keep getting an error?

1. Please check your usb cable

2. Please check your APX driver

It's not my usb cable, and ive installed the apx driver.

I can use the soft keys with my CWM which is 4.X.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dimension2035:
So if I flash this version does that mean that my external sd will be the default instead of the internal? This is my biggest issue with this phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cargohook:
I followed the instructions in the OP and everything worked flawlessly. I'm able to boot into CWM 5.0.2.8 with no problem by holding Volume-Down & Power buttons until the blue LG logo appears.

But here's my question: Is there any way to get the ROM Manager app to recognize 5.0.2.8? When I attempt to boot into CWM from ROM Manager, it goes into 5.0.2.0. Which is surprising, as I thought it would've been replaced by the new version.

If there's no way to force ROM Manager to use it, no biggie. But, is it harmful in any way to have 2 different CWMs on the same device?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Klathmon:
The one you flashed with this guide is your real recovery that you use when you hold the power and Vol keys. The older one is the one that's fake flashed by Rom manager. You can update this from in the app. (i think 5.0.2.0 is the newest one that it uses though.)

Either way, as long as they are both newer than 5.0.x.x then you are fine, having 2 different versions hurts nothing.

Edit: it *may* screw up backups when they are done between the 2 different versions, but I'm not actually sure.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] binded2:
works for me as well

this works for me as well i have not seen any problems

touch works as should you can save to internal or ext and restore from both as well

i did not try mounts though
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
Go to rom manager, press menu button and select manual over ride.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bowmanspeer:
I've had version 4 on my phone since I first rooted it an didn't updated it till now. A couple of backups ago I did it with the CWM in the ROM. 5.0.2.0. I tried to go to that nandroid through the v4. Wouldn't open. Took me a couple days realize this was the problem. Make your nandroids with the older version if you have 2 different ones.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Klathmon:
backups between version 4.xxx and 5.xxx are NOT COMPATIBLE. Backups made in 4 will not restore properly in 5, and backups made in 5 will not restore at all in 4.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stormageddon:
The *Take 3* is working great for me. And I definitely love the ability to touch the screen like I want to every time.

If you have two recoveries that means that Rom Manager 'fake' flashed the CWM on your device and only one of them is permanent. But you should be fine cause one of them has to be flashed to the true recovery partition.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kairi_zeroblade:
ATTN:

Backups from pervious version are not compatible with this..so PLEASE make a nandroid backup using this Version..

ALSO:

this is from the 5.0.2.8 Recovery Branch thats why its not available thru the ROM Manager menu..either way..this is the best solid permanent approach to get your RECOVERY done..unlike using ROM Manager to get your Recovery flashed..

edit: Thanks Rusty for clarification..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rusty!:
No, 5.0.2.8 is not a port, I built it from source. The touch one is a port.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
I would recommend people NEVER use ROM Manager for this phone unless you are confident enough to make sure you can have both versions match.

You never know whats going to happen when switching from one to the other.

im torn between this recovery, for the internal and external feature, and that new cwm touch recovery (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1054492) ....

i think you should rerelease the cwm touch with the features of this :D

Can't do anything with the touch version, there is no source.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dw9906:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rougue|Panda:
You have to make nvflash executable also.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chipis:
Well Some how. This What i did..

And it worked!!

Download the APX Drivers, I extracted them to the same file.

I press Up and Down Volume with out the battery, While pressing i plugin the usb cable with the phone to the computer.

Automatically detects the phone and ask how you want to install the drivers, choose browse for files and see the APX file and click ok.

It would take a few minutes to install them.

Ones it already installed drivers unplugged the usb and then again press the Volume up and down without the battery ofcourse, and it would detect it without asking you to install them again is so you have to do it all over again.

Now go back where you extracted the CMW 5.0.2.8 file and find FLASH RECOVERY XP.bat and double click it and press 1, if error pop up saying that check usb or drivers just unplugged and plugged it back again.

Ones its done it would said sucessfully install

And thanks to the dev. nice one... :)

The partition layout is different, so I wouldn't recommend using it til you know.

Pretty sure the model is underneath the battery though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Hasooboy:
That's a tough decision ether to go with it or not :S
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rusty!:
Does the phone work? If so, look at it's baseband version, the O2X and G2X have completely different figures, it will be easy to tell which it is based on that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Hasooboy:
yes the phone is working absolutely fine some time random shut down other wise no problem at all here is its baseband version

Can't find a way to do/enter menu options

Hello noob here.

I can go up and down the Recovery menu options but can't make it to do any of them.

When I tried by pressing the power button, all the menu options go away and just the CWM logo stays on screen. The same happens when using the capacitive buttons. Am I missing something here?

RESOLVED: I just had to reboot my phone (by taking out the battery).

I have to agree that this whole thread is confusing, but again I'm just a noob here.
[Nook Touch General] probbiethe1:
I am just wondering if there is any way to dual boot the nook simple touch from an sd card? I know of dual boot sd cards for the nook color and nook tablet but I havent heard of one for the simple touch, so I thought I would ask the community if they know of one.
[Nook Touch General] Googie2149:
Currently, no. You can run CWR from a card, but that's about as far as that's gotten (to my knowledge). There might be some kind of early custom ROM soon though, with all the leaps and bounds this community has been taking lately.
[Nook Touch General] probbiethe1:
Good to know, thanks for sharing
[Nook Touch General] brendan10211:
What else would you boot, other than android?
[Nook Touch General] probbiethe1:
The idea is to boot into Android off the sd card and then boot into normal nook form the hardware just like the cards do for the nook color and nook tablet
[Nook Touch General] brendan10211:
Are you saying you would use Android as a bootloader?
[Nook Touch General] Googie2149:
No, he means actually boot a self-contained android from the SD card, like this for the NC.
[Nook Touch General] probbiethe1:
Exactly, thanks for explaining it
[Nook Touch General] probbiethe1:
So i have been talking with some developers and they say its possible but that no one has built a boot menu for it yet. I am willing to help build one and test it out on my device if any one that knows what they are doing wants to help out that would be awesome

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] reiji:
I didn't see a discussion on this, so apologies if it has been answered already.

I just ordered a USB OTG cable with hopes of using it with a PS3 controller.

So I plug in my old Sixaxis controller and immediately see an error that it draws too much power. I tried a Dualshock3 controller as well with the same result.

You would think that Sony would have designed the XPERIA S to work with their controllers...

I know that I can use a powered USB hub or the SIXAXIS bluetooth app (requres root). In my opinion, using a cable is way more convenient since I use the controllers on my PS3 also.

I doubt that the ICS update would be able to fix this, but it might be possible. Any thoughts?

sorry my mistake......sent that from phone, i din notice, its 2.3.4 not 2.3.5!! was unlocked and tried almost all rom! last day i switched back to stock 2.3.4 rom (not sbf, but the moto-fastboot flash images). download it and flash everything one by one, system, data, webtop, preinstall, boot, radio... then download the official 2.3.6 update from motorola s/w update page, then flash it via CWM. after reboot your bootloader will be updated and re-locked. and the system files will be updated to 2.3.6. back to pure stock, and latest version!

The unit has been used for about 2 months and remains quite new. It was quite stable before. Yesterday night, about half an hour after plugged in for charging and with WiFi Hotspot turned on for sharing 3G data to another netbook, the unit suddenly rebooted itself. It then stopped at the start-up screen and remained there for several minutes. I kept holding the power button for a few seconds to turn it off but it then automatically reboot itself afterwards, and stopped at the start-up screen again. It means that even complete turning off is not possible.

Trying to enter into recovery mode showed the following few lines:

and then it automatically rebooted again. It means that it can't enter into recovery mode normally.

It was possible to enter into download mode. And it was the first time this machine went into download mode. I run Odin Downloader and flashed the official stock ROM. After showing "Pass", the device rebooted itself. Unfortunately, it still stopped at the start-up screen, just showing "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus". It is really troubesome. I have experience playing several Android devices before and it is the first time I face such troublesome problem.

The device is an official product. The biggest problem is that the original purchase invoice was lost and most likely that I couldn't get official support, repair service or replacement.

May I ask if anyone would kindly provide me some help or advice. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Zadeis:
Instead of going into download mode go into recovery mode and see if there are any errors. Your scenario is sounding very similar to the one I had in the past.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] chrisrotolo:
I just ran into a nasty snag at boot logo as well. nandroid, stock kernel and factory reset were no help. Try Odin back to Stock, it still may not get past boot logo, hold vol up and power to get into recovery and factory reset. Hope it works for you.

[HTC Inspire 4G] shovenose:
If this is in the wrong section please move it instead of deleted it. Thanks y'all are awesome :)

So, what I want to is make my own Ice Cream Sandwich ROM.

I want to take stock android and:

-Make everything work right (camera, buttons, drivers for proper graphics and stuff, etc)...

-Use a good boot animation (I already have in mind which one)

Stuff like that. Would my old server with a dual dual-core Intel Xeon CPUs (total of 4 cores), 6GB RAM, and RAID SCSI disks be good enough, to compile it? Do I even need to compile it? or just unzip and zip?

Thanks!

PS: can I use Windows or would Ubuntu work better? I've also got a MacBook Air that I guess I could use :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wulamoc:
I won't touch on the driver thing (simply because it's not an easy thing as you suggest). Not only are there various 'work arounds' for the camera issue... but... eh.

Also, I will say that boot animations are nothing more than a text file and a bunch of images... no compiling done there. Just google around and you'll find the 'needed' format VERY easily... and probably even suggested software to make it easy.

Be careful, as you have a condescending style about how things that are easy but aren't, and aren't easy but are... while you haven't even really done any research. These things... they do not go over well here.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Ok as stated it is not as easy as it sounds. Compiling from source is not easy and making everything work is not easy either as the drivers are not released for this device. As all the source is ported from another device. Some of the best minds on XDA have been working for months trying to get the camera to work but with the new rules to the AOSP source from Google it is a huge undertaking. No longer can you build a full working rom from AOSP as the OEM drivers are no longer included due to being closed source and not released.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
There are walk thru videos out there but like the Gentlemens above me said it is not a simple task. If you look at the developers it's a collaboration of several members making a team just for one ROM. But you can play around with several ROMs like I did:

Some Ice Cold Sandwich with a little salt from Redemption and a little pepper from Zues and BOOM my perfect ROM for me. (My Frankenstein)

BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Dont get me wrong I'm not saying you can take bits and pieces from different ROMS and create your own and offer it here cause thats stealing from developers without their permission. But only for your enjoyment and PLAY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

2. you can't ask for help from developers when you alter their ROMs.

GOOD GOD!!!! Hope my phone don't die with so much flashing and testing (lmao)
[HTC Inspire 4G] shovenose:
Sorry if I made it sound like I didn't realize how huge of an effort good ROM development is. I do!

However, if I just take AOSP then attach the device drivers then add the features I want, I can release it as mine, right?

I'm bored with web design and development, so I figured hey let me try android stuff!

Maybe I should learn how to make an Android app first :P I have a feeling my basic Java knowledge won't be enough.

Would it be better to start with that, then progress to the more complicated stuff?

And I appreciate the time you are all taking to answer my random questions :)

I wish I could make Android apps with HTML, CSS, PHP, and Javascript. LOL!
