ya i know ;)

its like back to the future :p

nope i have implemented it as a feature so its easier to check if the "touch response" was registered...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] juzz|NOR:
@DooMLoRD

Have you considered to get your CWM based recovery actually on CWM ROM Manager?

Auto Installation would be sweet for something like this for allready rooted users. and much easier to update aswell.

Might be a consideration. I would certainly donate for that to happen. ;D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] K900:
Just flashed this. Runs good, su works as expected, overclocking is good to have, but I'll probably stick to default or even underclock a bit.

Edit: wrong thread, derp.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] keunhuvac:
How about make console runs in recovery mode? With console, we can browse and delete apps in recovery!

The OpenRecovery for Motorola Milestone has this feature!

Thank!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DooMLoRD:
we dont have dedicated recovery partition... so we cant use any app to flash it...

also only officially supported devices get official CWM from ROM Manager (its limited only to releases by Koush)...

yes even i underclock to max 1Ghz ;)

interesting can u share some details?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] K900:
Something I came up with the other day: maybe put the recovery fs in a separate file? Then we can change the ramdisk to either load android normally or mount the recovery image like a ramdisk and boot it. This way any kernel (as long as it supports this method) can coexist with any recovery. Also means we could probably use recovery to flash kernels because it runs from RAM so there's no risk of breaking the recovery.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DooMLoRD:
we already did those things for X10, ARC... point is where will u keep the recovery file? if u keep it on /system then its not a true recovery as formatting /system will remove it... and in case of "bad flash" u will be left with no access to recovery...

so we have done the next best thing... integrated recovery into kernel... we use this for all xperia devices...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] treoking:
If I install the recovery with ROM Manager, also install automatically the Kernel?

Are there any requirements to install it?

Thank you!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DooMLoRD:
installing recovery from ROM Manager is ONLY supported for devices which have dedicated recovery partition and the ones which officially supported by Koush...

only way to get recovery is to flash kernel containing recovery via fastboot
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] K900:
The idea is to keep the recovery on /boot, but make it possible to run a custom image from /system.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DooMLoRD:
/boot is the kernel partition, which is not accessible... so essentially its going to be in kernel ramdisk :p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] K900:
That's what I meant. I still getting used to the Xperias' internals after three years of HTC/Samsung :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DooMLoRD:
hehe...

Xperia are a bit of a pain in the a**...

anyways u all will be happy to know that we can finally flash kernels from recovery/OS to boot partition of this device (Xperia S)...

i have tested and it works well!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] somemadcaaant:
Creating a new file called .hidenandroidprogress in the clockworkmod folder should speed up the nandroid backups eg:

/sdcard/clockworkmod/.hidenandroidprogress

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] K900:
Great news :) Also HTCs can sometimes be even more pain, especially locked ones :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chesterr:
Hey So will there be a recovery without the kernel?or just this one.!

cause I'm facing lotta problem, and I saw that happened to others and I did what they've done but neither worked for me,

thinking of going back to stock kernel.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DooMLoRD:
I don't know... This specific recovery will be supplied with my kernel...

What issues u facing exactly?

If u face any bugs/issues please report them so that I can know the issues and try to resolve them...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] keunhuvac:
About console in recovery, i think it available with milestone because it has hardware keyboard?

Btw, since we can use adb when in recovery mode so dont need console any more.

I just saw that it's heating up too much with the kernel.

DooM, you probably have this sorted by now anyway...

regarding the problem of restoring pre v02 backups with one-touch, is it not just a case of testing if the boot.img exists in the backup dir, if not then skip that part of the restore script?

just a passing thought.. ;)

yes thats the plan... havent implemented it yet though...

those "errors" are not important

dalvik-cache is generally located to /data/

most recoveries have functions to delete /data, /cache, /sd-ext as some scripts move dalvik-cache to either of those location...

active fb swap failed: Invalid argument

this issue is of no consequence for the user... its the issue we have because of the current graphics configuration for recovery...

its of lowest priority as of now...

Hi all, just got my LT26i yesterday, first thing I did (well almost)

is unlock the bootloader and install DoomKernel. I created a backup in CWM last night and after installing some more apps and changing a few things today I made a new backup. I went into Root Explorer to delete yesterday's one, but I noticed that the creation dates of the backup folder and backups are incorrect. They are timestamped as 1970 and 1979 respectively!

Is this a bug or something I need to change somewhere?

Issue:

Freeze on restore menu in recovery. I have a backup, but the strange thing is, when in recovery the 'restore' screen freezes without showing any backups i have. The power button does help with freezing but that also restarts/redirect to the main recovery screen. I did not have this before.

Information:

I know i have 2 backups, earlier i copied them on an external drive, and also renamed all the backups (also on phone). And checked again on pc if the backups where still on my phone. and yes.

What have i tried?:

I flashed back the stock firmware (including kernel) and then went back to Advancend Stock Kernel, but its the same, only the boot loop is fixed, but I still cant restore. because it freezes, not even showing my backups.

I tried the FreeXperia Recovery and now i have restored my backup :), but the FreeXperia recovery was only for temporarily use because it can't boot the system with it. So i went back to Advanced Stock Kernel after restore, with the same problem but i have at least my backup restored...

did something on my phone change, since the boot loop by that app? and know affected the doomkernel recovery?? since other recovery does work and reflashing (fastboot) does not change it.

UPDATE, Cause and Solution

I finally found out why my recovery froze when entering the restore menu... One of my backups had a too long name :eek: ... after testing it appears more than 60 characters will freeze the restore menu and you won't be able see and restore any backups. (FreeXperia recovery (ClockworkMod-based) could still recover this backup)

So the reason why nothing helped was, because the problem was inside my backup folder :o

Hey Doomlord, hope u can help me out on this. I have previously stated about this problem in the forum but couldnt get to you..anywayz, recently i have flashed 6.0.A.3.76TW firmware on my system, fastbooted your kernel and then flashed the wifi modules. The phone takes a hard reset everytime i try to turn the wifi on. Thought it was a problem as i had this fon rooted earlier.

I have also flashed the previous rom again (wipe data and all) as in totally new and clean installation and then did the same stuffs again. Still the phone takes a hard reset everytime i try to turn on the wifi. Apart from that, the system is running smooth and without any problem so far. Can you please state any suggestion for it?

- Can i use the stock wifi modules flashed on your kernel? Or do i have to flash the original kernel so i can use wifi again? I really loved your kernel. Please do reply
