I already used Secure Settings to disable pattern lock while on WiFi so I'm good with it as is. Although it seems to be having problems disabling pattern lock on JB.

EDIT: I also use it to take a FFC picture when someone enters in the wrong unlock code too many times.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] segv11:
Tasker can also do that (KeyGuard: off), but I found both are a bit picky about it under ICS (it only 100% works if the screen is already on and unlocked...) I would not be suprised to see it get more picky under JB, since Google has deprecated KeyGuardLock, as having apps leave the lockscreen disabled is something they don't like.

If Android had more of an internal concept of location-dependent settings, especially with relation to "security" issues, then we wouldn't need to hack it so much with Tasker + Root + Secure Settings + kernel mods + other randomness.

I like the idea of automated Nandroids; I adapted your idea to doing it weekly, then having FolderSync copy them off-device. Weekly is good enough cause I already have nightly TiBackups, sync'ed off-device, as well as any "important" sdcard contents FolderSync'ed too.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
+1 for Folder Sync, I love that damn app! I haven't set the pics to email to myself yet, I'm a Tasked noob. It haunts me. I'm sure Tasker could automate my whole life if I just knew what to tell it to do.

It depends on which device you have:

Maguro: http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/maguro/openrecovery-twrp-2.2.0-maguro.img

Toro: http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/toro/openrecovery-twrp-2.2.0-toro.img

ToroPlus: http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/toroplus/openrecovery-twrp-2.2.0-toroplus.img

For other devices, go to http://teamw.in/project/twrp2 go to the dropdown menu in the upper-right corner and select your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Be lazy. Just download Goo Manager from the Play Store and in options select Install Open Recovery Script. It'll flash the latest TWRP for you.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] segv11:
Just check out all the many menu options. Tasker is a mini programming language; it can do an awful lot if you are willing to hack on it.

It can't do everything though, without plugins. I have found Secure Settings to be absolutely indispensable for:

Enabling/Disabling GPS (don't need it running at work, where I need the battery to last as long as possible)

Waking the device, and turning the screen ON when it's asleep.

Turn USB debugging on/off; activate wireless ADB (turn it on in a secure location, off when I leave)

Change input method (automatically switch to Hacker's keyboard for Terminal/Connectbot; switch back for other apps)

FolderSync also has a Tasker plugin, so Tasker can start a sync based on more complex criteria than FolderSync can natively.

I know this is off-topic, but your idea of scheduling nandroids from Tasker is such a big win, thanks to the scripting in TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoSeriouS:
Yeah and in order to get the choice to flash the script you need to go under the "Flash Roms" heading from the main menu once you open GooManager. It took me awhile to find the script everyone was talking about until I looked under "Flash Roms", so maybe this will save someone a few minutes if they go this route..

All of "goo.im" is having that at the moment, not just the TWRP images. Probably just have to wait until it gets fixed... which I imagine will be quickly since so many good ROMs, recoveries and tools are hosted there.

Ya wiping data I see wipe failed. Of doesn't affect me ROM flashing. What is internal storage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Ask better questions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Internal storage is your pics, music, etc; your SD. I guess I've never just wiped data since I always just hit factory reset which wipes data and cache.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryjabo:
Get bent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DRatJr:
Okay the app is very confusing. I find twrp2 folder and there are many downloads. Which one do I pick?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
You mean Goo Manager? To flash TWRP just open Goo Manager and select the 3 vertical dots in the upper right hand corner and then select Install Open Recovery Script.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] airtime82:
Dang, I didn't know you could install this way either! Flipped on WiFi and 30 seconds later it was downloaded and installed:D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DRatJr:
Okay and it will install over cwm without any problems correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Correct.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DRatJr:
Also, does it have an option to erase the SD? Like is it an individual option or will it wipe when wiping data or doing a factory reset?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
It is a separate option. Wiping data in TWRP or doing a factory reset in TWRP will leave your SD contents untouched.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DRatJr:
Ok thanks. I'm always paranoid that I'll lose my SD stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maddoggin:
dude how do i download this recovery? where in goomanager do i go?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] airtime82:
if I choose the system option in the wipe folder does it actually wipe your whole rom leaving only boot and recovery on the phone? Im still pretty new to twrp, long time cwm user but im really liking this recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Yes, exactly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] airtime82:
so from there I can just flash a custom rom and have a super fresh flash, or odin a stock system flash? Also where does it store things like your phone number,network,msid,ip addy? I had a small problem that seems to have followed me from a previous rom and I would like to wipe clean and start fresh.

edit: Also I currently put roms in my download folder will it delete that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcmm11:
If you wipe system then both your data partition and sdcard will NOT be wiped. Your data partition has all your installed user apps on it, among other things. If you want a totally clean start do a factory refresh (wipes data and caches) along with a system wipe. Anything on your sdcard, including things in your download folder, will be preserved (although you may still want to do an adb backup of sdcard to your computer, just in case)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] airtime82:
sorry if it sounds newb, I have adb installed so how do I go about doing an adb backup on my pc.

Also I thanked you but thanks for the answer it was exactly what I needed to know.:good:

I totally f'ed up! On vacation and accidently erased everything via recovery! Damn wipe internal storage. Been driving for 15 hours.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dees_Troy:
You don't have to Odin but if you can't boot Android then you will need to adb push a new ROM zip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lost_man10002:
loving this backup used this on my wifey's kindle fire and had to get it on my nexus. Goo manager install and installing this recovery through that app was painless. You guyz rock!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chaotic646:
I have no idea what happened, but I had 3 different backups in my TWRP folder, flashed a rom, didn't like it so tried to restore one and all three just disappeared. I flashed the rom again, downloaded root explorer and went to the TWRP backup folder and sure enough it was empty. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

EDIT: I still have some old clockworkmod nandroids, does anyone have a link to the latest clockworkmod that I can flash?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] airtime82:
Just download ROM manager. I think u can install right from there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] badpanda:
wiping data I see wipe "failed" its anyone else getting this error? Before I flash a new ROM for a full wipe I always do factory reset, wipe system, wipe cache and dalvik cache. And on occasion I do internal wipe.. I noticed the (data) under wipe options, I tried to use it but i always get failed no matter what I do. Can you please explain as to why this is happening, if it is in fact a common bug or error or if it is isolated to an specif device. I have the GSM(maguro) if someone has a possible fix or workaround that will be welcome also.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dees_Troy:
You are talking about the format data option. 99% of the time you do not need to use that option as it will delete your internal "sdcard" as well. You should just use the factory reset option.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] So Hung Over:
I had a strange problem. When I went to restore a backup, after the system was restored TWRP would freeze then boot back to the splash screen. It would do it on any back up. The only way around it was to restore again but this time with the system deselected.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoSeriouS:
I've had this same problem as well on occasion. I'm not sure what causes it, but when looking at the backups I've made in TWRP with Root Explorer most show a "10" for the number of files that make up each backup but the one's that have this problem only have a "3". I'm not sure why though b/c I've checked all the same boxes... Has anyone else got any advice w/ this issue (restore reboots to main TWRP screen during system section of restore)?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dees_Troy:
If you can get a log of a failed backup and/or restore, that would be helpful. I have a Sprint GNex and I've never seen anything like this. If you see and are checking a box for android_secure... don't check that box for the GNex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] So Hung Over:
Copied the log right after system restored and went back to the splash screen. Had system, boot, data, and cache selected to restore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dees_Troy:
Change the backup name and remove the period. Use something else like a dash or underscore or remove it completely and I think that the problem will go away.

I'll have to fix periods in backup names in a future version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] So Hung Over:
That seems to have done the trick!

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoSeriouS:
Ill try that b/c im almost sure that the backups that failed when restoring had periods in name. Thanks broman big ups!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Watcher07:
odd issue, with TWRP 2.2.0 I'm able to adb push files to the sdcard directory without issue and install, flash roms, etc. With this release, adb devices recognizes the phone no problem, but no matter what I do, I get an error that there is no such file or directory on the phone for me to push the files to. Unlike most, I wipe everything in the list, internal data included, and have never had an issue (I keep absolutely everything in the cloud so see no need to restore nandroids or anything since I have no info on the phone and am a flashaholic). When I switch back to 2.2.0 everything works just fine, and going back again to 2.2.2.0 repeats the issue. I feel it must be something simple I'm missing, but can't seem to isolate what that would be.

FYI in advanced and file manager as well as terminal command I can see the sdcard directory exactly as it should be.

Also my device is a CDMA Sprint Galaxy Nexus.

The ROM is Perfect Android 08-23-2012 Release which installs fine with TWRP 2.2.0
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ElfinJNoty:
Where is download for this? Goo was down when I attempt "flash open recovery" and hung on download
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ggrip:
Downloaded it from my phone via the TeamWin link in the OP. The download link for the image file for our phone still has the old version name at the moment (2.2.0) but it is the current 2.2.2.0 version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Mind if you could show us what you have typed into the commend? I don't have that problem....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Watcher07:
It's just the typical adb push command:

adb push (rom filename) /sdcard

So for the ROM I use, it looks like this

adb push perfect_android_toroplus_2012-08-23.zip /sdcard

I have also tried

adb push perfect_android_toroplus_2012-08-23.zip /sdcard/perfect_android_toroplus_2012-08-23.zip

with 2.2.0 it works just fine with push to /sdcard, but on 2.2.2.0 it does not which sounds more like a mounting issue or problem with permissions than a command but I'm open to suggestions.

At the end of the day it's really not a big deal, rolling back to 2.2.0 works just fine and it's not like 2.2.2.0 had anything earth shattering, I just like to keep on top of updates and this one is being a bit elusive. Thanks for the help.

**EDIT**

Got it figured out, the wiping process I was using was breaking the symlink.

I am noob at this...I have twrp 2.1.2 I think...how to update it to latest twrp??? Also if I update it would it cause me to lose the ROM back ups I have in recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcmm11:
No, you will not lose the backups you already have. They're found in the TWRP folder in your sdcard and will not be touched, although you can always do an adb pull to a computer to back them up just in case.

Easiest way to update is by using goomanager. Install it from the play store, if you haven't already. Open goomanager, go to settings (3 vertical dots in upper right hand corner) and choose 'Install OpenRecoveryScript' then let it do it's thing. All done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dees_Troy:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] venom_762:
I'm getting failed ROM installs on this version. If I reboot the recovery and then install it works fine. Any ideas on how to fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Redneck Trash:
Just wondering why the backup gets split into multiple archives now.

Set from my toroplus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] venom_762:
How do you report errors?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
It used to be that a single partition's backup couldn't be larger than 2GB due to some sort of busybox limitation. For most it wasn't a problem especially since most people's apps were split between the data partition and the SD card. But with devices getting more onboard storage and apps getting bigger people are getting large data partitions. So now to get around the 2GB limit TWRP splits the backup at 1.5GB. So if you have greater than 1.5GB of data then it'll be split into archives.

I forget where but in TWRP there is a copy recovery log to SD option. Do that and then grab the log from your SD and post it somewhere. Then either report it here or in IRC. Dees is usually really quick to answer on Freenode in #twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dees_Troy:
If you can paste the log after getting a failed zip install I can try to take a look. I tried installing a zip on my GNex this morning both cold booting recovery from the bootloader and rebooting warm from system and it worked both times and booted up properly each time afterwards. Also might help if you can link the zip that you're having trouble with. I was testing with an EOS nightly if that helps at all.

Why is it that there is no battery wipe option in the latest version? Or am I missing something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Probably because it's a placebo, it doesn't do anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] obsanity:
Well it may not for extra battery life but what do you do when the stats file gets corrupted and shows you you have 10% battery left when you just charged your phone fully? That happened to me before, and wiping battery stats in recovery always fixed it.

Thanks for the information but how do you explain what happened to many of us? Battery is at +90% while system freezes. Only way to fix it is to pull the battery. Immediately after reboot the battery drops to 7%... what just happened?

I've had this happen a few times on the road and wiping battery stats always got it back to where it was before the crash. So without that option are you suggesting I plug in and wait a few hours to fully charge so it can reset that data?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Redneck Trash:
I'm not sure what causes it just that battery stats isn't the cause. I also sometimes get a vastly different battery reading after a reboot. Never have figured out the the cause. Don't know if it's something that happens during reboot or if it's an error reading that gets corrected during a reboot. Could be something else entirely.
