Question about physical buttons not lighting up

In order to limit thread creation I'm hijacking this one due to the general title.

After flashing TWO Charge's with Tweaked 2.0 the row of physical buttons no longer light up. I flashed one back to EP4D (which made them light up again) and then back to Tweaked (which borked them again) already to see what would happen.

Is this part of the tweaks to disable them lighting up? Is there somewhere I can go modify a script and have them light up again?

Thanks :)

(I'm a Chemical Engineer, I can do anything with cars but when it comes to anything past Odin and CWM, my nerdiness is superceded by this forum. :p)
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
This is due to the BLN mod that is included in the rom. See the link below for more info on what BLN does.

It can be disabled through tweaktools if you'd rather have the key backlights act normally (CWM Modifications->BLNModOff)

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/20362-mod-bln-for-droid-charge/
[Verizon Droid Charge] Shimee:
Thank you, that's exactly what I was looking for.

But my god finding what TweakTools is and how to enter it was difficult. You can't forget that noobs have no idea about some things so it would have been nice to get a link to tonsit's site or a brief explanation of Terminal Emulator, or something. But then again that's not as satisfying as searching on your own.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
To be fair - there is a link to all of that in the OP - well, it's the second post, but I figured most would look there as that outlines all the changes that had gone down. Sorry for the confusion -

here

is the link from that post. Check it out, it ought to be pretty helpful.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
Note: tested only on the internal sd (don't have an external one)

Also, should work with all cwm based recoveries (not the original ones!)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] truth77:
Dam your on a roll B!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
and yes, its ugly, but who cares ;P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dhoang:
So basically you can install zip file with this app, instead of with cwm in recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
it will reboot to recovery, install the stuff,

and then boot back to android

so no more manually booting to recovery, selecting the files, and so on...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dhoang:
I see. You're the man, braway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Phoneguy589:
Simply great work man...Thank You very much! Works perfectly. Chose kernel, clicked install, rebooted and installed and booted back up. Pretty bad arse!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ukic:
He did all those things (cwm, counter reset) without a phone, see what he can do now that he owns one! Simply amazing!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slaydog:
Thanks for all of your work. Downloading now. :)

Just a thought: will this do a Nandroid backup? I've always wondered if it would be possible to automatically get a backup of my phone every night while I shnooze. This sounds like it might be possible...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
well, right now you can select, to create a backup before you flash a file

you could also of course do only the backup, but remember, it will reboot to recovery, but if it is on a timer at night, then you probably wont care as much... ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jesse6749:

Working just as described .. External SD had no issues installing multiple zip's. Did a full reversal from Revamped to DaG's ICS with theme's all in one reboot and a few clicks. Great work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] songyop:
Wow! I just started really enjoying the touch interface in your CWM recovery and now you provide us an even better way! You're the man!!! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lactardjosh:
Braway, believe it or not, I was planning on asking you this very question this morning, only to find that you've already been working on it.

It does not let you create a backup without a zip in the queue, however. It aborts the action.

Also, is there a specific CWM version that needs to be installed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
Does "wipe cache" wipe the Dalvik cache as well?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
should work for any cwm based recovery (not the official ones, there is a check in the official ones, that allows only rommanager that feature)

and, if I say any, I mean any of the newer edify only versions (i think cwm v4+ )

there might be problems with the sdcard paths though on other devices...

wipe cache only formats the cache partition

wipe data+cache formats data and cache

dalvik cache is located in data,

going to take a look at this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CreekDirt:
I also cannot use the backup function on its own.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] paleh0rse:
Awesome, ty!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
This works for ICS and GB??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
Yes, I will fix that soon

it is compiled for android 10, meaning it should run on android 2.3.3+
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slaydog:
Imagine how cool it would be if you always had a Nandroid that was <24 hrs old! I'm always reinstalling a 1 week old version, lol.

:banghead:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
This is awesome man.....have been impressed with every dev post you have made bruh.

thanks for time and work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CreekDirt:
I was going to flash your Counter Reset zip file and at first it wouldn't. I had that cache failure error at the bottom of your Touch CWM and it just sat on the opening screen of CWM.

Wiped cache once, rebooted, tried it again and it worked great. I guess the cache error stops it from continuing.

I flashed it from the external sdcard so that works well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] iakeco:
I'm dying to try this.... No new or updated ROMs....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Rocket42:

You guys could use this until he comes out with a fix or method.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
I've uploaded 0.2

that adds some options, some minor gui changes

this might also make this app more likely to work with other phones (especially ones with only an external sd)

- wipe is now also "standalone"

- dalvik-cache wipe is now selectable (through the standalone)

- backup is now also standalone

the space on the backup seems unused, but I'll try to add some kind of scheduling service when I have time...

i might also need to rewrite the whole app, its getting a pain in the ass to stuff the new functionality in there ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kornklown69:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BlackZenith:
I tried to use this to install the "14 toggle" update for stock ROMs. Everything seemed to work fine (phone shutdown, CWM seemed to run, phone restarted) but it didn't install in the end. I have the touch based CWM... is this GUI not compatible with the touch version of CWM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
hmmmm...

did you install from internal or external zip?

also, can you grab the following two files after you've tried that:

/cache/recovery/log

/cache/recovery/last_log

and send them to braway@gmail.com

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BlackZenith:

Braway...i saw u ask someone if the were trying to install from int or ext. I know ext is default. I prefer to install from int sd as backups are huge and those i keep on ext. Is flashing from int. Sd ok?

can someone confirm that installing from external works, or not works?

I tried nandroid backup on v1 on external and at the end it said it couldn't.

backed up fine on internal.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
small update

- added a "reboot recovery", to reboot to recovery from android

- fixed (hopefully) install zip for non i717 devices

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] songyop:

Next up: Reboot to Download mode?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
if that is a requested feature, then i can add it :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teufel Hunden:
This is what I get when I backup on internal

Biggest dog on the block, Note!! Now ICED out!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
oO anything wrong with it?

was that even started from the cwm gui?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teufel Hunden:
That was from touch recovery via reboot from gui

Just did a backup from gui to external. Wemt fast and rebooted. Sapose to do that? And what is the file sapose to say or look like, internal and external?

Biggest dog on the block, Note!! Now ICED out!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
well, everything run from the gui should execute and then reboot instantly afterwards,

except for reboot recovery itself

i don't think you can really see where the backup is done,

but it shouldn't be fast, unless you dont have enough space

/cache/recovery/last_log could give some more information (you'll need root to access that file)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teufel Hunden:
Ok ill try internal on gui then

Ran internal and it went through the process, I didn't catch the end if it said the same as the picture before it quickly rebooted

Biggest dog on the block, Note!! Now ICED out!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
0.4 is out

- added reboot to download mode option (i717 only)

- added backup scheduling, including optional confirm dialog to cancel in the last 10 seconds

if you see something that is not working, directly after booting back to android,

use root explorer or so (you need root) and get /cache/recovery/last_log

and send it to me: braway @ gmail . com

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] songyop:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
loving this braway.....!!!!

one thing anyway to set it so when we have it set to back up everynight or every other night....that it will delete the prior back up. i mean if i will always have a current back up i dont care if it deletes the one prior.

or maybe it already does this i have not had the chance to test out the back procedures yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
no automatic deletion yet,

i will probably give the backup a different name, and add a few more options,

but right now you have to remove the old ones manually, sorry :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teufel Hunden:
How do you remove them manually, also can you rename them?

Biggest dog on the block, Note!! Now ICED out!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
well, using a file explorer...

depending on if you have the backup on your internal/external sd, the path to the backups are:

internal:

/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/<backup>

external:

/sdcard/external_sd/clockworkmod/backup/<backup>

<backup> is a folder, which can be deleted (that folder contains all the files)

you can also rename the backup, but make sure to not add spaces to the folder name

if you move it, then there is a high chance that you won't be able to load it through recovery (because it only looks in these paths)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
Ok i got stuck and had to wipe everything and set everything back up. so i lost your gui app. but this time once i downloaded it. it does not seem to be working.

i keep getting errors and all it does is put me in CWM and make me do the rest of the work. like flash, wipe, back up. nothing is automated.

any ideas?

"It just keeps saying can not create Cache/Recovery"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
go to cwm, and wipe/formate the cache

seems like somehow the cache file system got corrupted, so basically you don't have a working cache right now.

after a wipe/format, the cache should work again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
problem solved......much Thanks as always. that was easy :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lowspeed:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Skizzy034:
Hey braway, is there a chance you could add an option to mount /cache, /system, data to this app? The reason I ask is when you flash the beats audio mod it usually won't catch until you mount those first. If I remember correctly you have to mount system and cache.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
hmmm, every single install script is supposed to do that stuff, but i'll add it on my todo list
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Apo11on:
@ braway

How do I restore a backup using the app? Inside the Backup/Restore screen there is only 1 drop down list for Backup to internal or external sd, no Restore...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
not in there yet, i will add it as soon as i find time to work on it again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
Delete
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Apo11on:
Can you please also add to your To Do list an option to stay in recovery after performing cleanup tasks? For example, if I chose to do a wipe in the GUI of cache, dalvik cache - the app reboots the phone and goes back to the OS. There is no way to do the wipe and either stay in recovery afterwards (because I need to flash something) or at the same time when you're doing the wipe schedule a zip flash from the GUI after the wipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teufel Hunden:
Also in the backup/restore its only backup....how about a restore?

and lasttime I backed up and then tried to restore it gave me an md5sum error....had put everything back together manually

Did you make sure there are no spaces in the backup file name? That will give you an error every time. I removed them from mine and have'nt had an error in a month or so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
1)

after such an error, in android,

grab the file /cache/recovery/last_log, and upload it somewhere,

and send me the link (or the file)

2)

like mentioned a few times already, make sure, if you rename the backup, that you do not add spaces to the folder, I will look into it this weekend, i think i'll have some time to work on that stuff
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Teufel Hunden:
How will it log if your in recovery?

I make sure I never have spaces and I have been able to restore before now I get the md5 error

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
so I just tried a backup to external SD. It booted into recovery and successfully mounted SD, but had a path not found error and started the backup on the internal SD. All seemed well and when it finished backing up data, I looked away for a second and it was rebooting. When I checked the backup, it was missing the Android_secure tar file. I deleted the backup and tried manually. Everything went through on the external SD without a hitch. Anyone else missing that portion of your backup or had an issue with external SD?

Edit:SD card marker not found(not path not found)

I've never been able to get it to backup to the external sd card. I was thinking that might be part of the problem why I'm getting the md5 mismatch error. Maybe I still had it set to save the back up to the external sd card, and it saved it to the internal sd card causing something to not match..?

Just installed victoryrom v1.1 and after a reboot, I noticed that I no longer boot into CWM. Do I need to redo the bootstrap recovery?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
No, you need to flash CWM on boot.
[Motorola Atrix 2] squid4:
Im sorry, but what do you mean by flashing it on boot?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
Maybe I misunderstood what you were trying to do.....

I was under the impression that you expected your phone to reboot into CWM when you reboot your phone. Otherwise, what you need to do is open the Atrix 2 bootstrap app and click "boot recovery" and it'll reboot into recovery.
[Motorola Atrix 2] squid4:
Yeah I want my phone to boot into CWM every time I reboot. I'm just not sure what you mean by flashing CWM on boot. Thanks for the quick replies.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
Did it do that before? How did you get it to do that? The only way I know of is by flashing a mod called CWM on boot.....but u sounded like u didnt know what i was talking about when i suggested you flash it.

Having the bootstrapper installed wont boot him right into cwm upon reboot though. Besides, doesnt the rom he installed come prerooted?
