[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radioman42001:
I am trying to find out what house keeping should be done to keep a rom fast? This question is not directed to a specific rom, but memory management in general.

I flash a rom, and it runs good. After a day or so [if I keep one that long ] I notice that it starts to slow down. Some times I select a new rom to flash because it is interesting. Other times I select a new rom to flash because the one I am using is slowing down.

If I look at the memory in Titanium Backup, it shows that either or both the system rom memory and internal are getting towards full.

I am using a2sd and it shows some memory used there.

I guess my question is, do we simply need to clear the cache every couple of days, or is there more necessary?,

I appreciate any and all suggestions as how to keep the EVO 4G running faster.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evocm7:
I would clear app cache every couple days. I also reboot at the end of every day. Clear cache and dalvik in recovery one a week or so. I notice this happening with my evo as well. Its not as bad on my rezound though. Probably something to do with free space.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] westlandnick:
I agree that clearing cache and rebooting is very helpful. I also use a2sd, dark tremors, and I have noticed that the more free system rom I have the smoother and faster my phone is. I used to use my a2sd to move dalvik to the sd card, now I move the dalvik to the "cache" partition and it seems to run better that way too. I noticed with the dalvik on the sd-ext it would take much longer to wipe and it seemed like I would get random errors... Could be coincidence, but the way I set up my rom's with the a2sd I typically have 100mb+ free in my system rom so its not an issue to keep the dalvik internal. I'm not really an expert but I have had my evo for about 2 years and I have flashed and set up my phone a ton of different ways and a2sd is a must with the evo. I noticed a big difference in smoothness since paying attention to my free internal space. I also have a bricked evo with a spare battery, so I shut my phone down daily for the battery swap. Prior to that I would never turn my phone off or reboot, and since I do it daily it seems I have had less issues.

Sorry for the giant rant, but hopefully I gave you something from all that :)

Also try to use odex roms as they are faster than deodexed... and if the rom you like isnt odexed then try to odex it. Not hard just need JRE and dsixdas kitchen then unpack the boot.img and find the bootclasspath i think its in ramdisk somehwhere.

Ok here is the begining of a couple. I once did a Lego StarWars where the clone trooper crapped a brick, might redo that one.. this one is nice little glitch when it transfers to Part 2 during the second loop..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] web_ninja:
ok the gif didn't uplod or i chose the wrong file... but anyway push it or copy it to \system\media folder using your favorite filemanager or adb push it, and your good to go.

Can you post the Lego Star Wars boot animation please.

I always liked the minions. Not bad, but didn't seem right without sound. Yet I know that would get annoying. Also, it might just be me, but it seems like the pixel ratio is off a bit. I tried to tweak it, but it didn't like me.

In know both do the same but is this better than cwm.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cbond007:
Yes it is. It has more features and the interface is better for accessibility. It also has themes. You can also rename your backups within the recovery.

Key Features:

Ability to save custom recovery settings

Touchscreen driven with real buttons and drag-to-scroll

XML-based GUI that allows full customization of the layout – true theming!

Settings are saved to the sdcard and persist through reboots

Ability to choose which partitions to back up and which to restore

Ability to choose to compress backups – now with pigz (multi-core processor support for faster compression times)

What's new in 2.2.0:

On-screen keyboard in recovery! -- supports long press, backspace repeat, and swipe left deletes everything left of the cursor

Name new backups and rename existing backups

Rename files and folders in the file manager

Pseudo-terminal emulator

Support decrypting an encrypted data partition on Galaxy Nexus (enter password using keyboard)

Backup archive splitting -- allows backup and restore of data partitions larger than 2GB

Simplified XML layout support between resolutions

Added dual storage selection radio buttons to zip install, backup, and restore pages

Improved zip install compatibility

Updated update-binary source code

Numerous small bug fixes and improvements
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chrisbass:
Crazy question and the better part of me says no, but can you restore a backup made with cwm in twrp?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LouRock:
No.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -SpeedofSound-:
HELL YEAH....Thank You VERY MUCH for this. I used it always and loved it on my epic 4g and have been really missing it ever since I switch to my SGS3 and had to resort to using the old "caveman" style/method recovery again...LOL

Now I can use TWRP again. AWESOME!

Cheers!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
Perfect! This recovery supports OpenRecoveryScript so i'm gonna have to make this an option in the Aroma installer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] glcK23:
Cannot mount scared or ext card while in recovery. Not really an issue since it didn't work on CWM or the older TWRP. miss that feature.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cbond007:
What does mounting the sd card do? I'm able to backup/restore roms and backups from from the internal and external sd. Is that different?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
It would mount it to be seen on your PC to transfer files.

But yes, long live TWRP. I couldn't get rid of CWM fast enough. Love this recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dees_Troy:
If you have a 64GB card that's formatted as exFAT then recovery won't be able to mount it. You can reformat to FAT32 to fix. If not, then pull a log and paste it to a paste site and give me the link. I might be able to sort it out for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] glcK23:
it came from my evo 3d so maybe it does need to be formatted. what about the internal sd card ? can that be formatted too ??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Smac7:
Nice, i was waiting for this. TWRP blows away clockwork.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] steezc:
Great work! Made my life easier and this is definitely easier to use :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
It absolutely will not install for me. Any way to get it as a tar file so I can use Mobile Odin.

Just Flash It !!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jfree3000:
Sorry for the silly question, but does the compressed files get saved to the same spot as the regular files? I did a backup and for the hell of it used the compressed method but when I went back to nandroid the phone could not find the file anywhere. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crawrj:
Yes they do. To find it in trwp you have to look in media.

---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 AM ----------

That is really odd. Have you tried reinstalling goo manager? Also are you sure you flashed the sprint twrp instead of the verizon one? Although that really shouldn't matter anyway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
Here's your fix for mr Robinson's... install twrp like you just did. Then flash this

http://db.tt/9Vj81rTH

Then you should be good to go.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jfree3000:
Hey thanks a million, I thought I messed something up or was going crazy.

Edit: Don't see it in there but it doesn't matter I had backed up a majority of things to Titanium Backup.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] danman132x:
Will using goo manager trip my flash counter, or should I just use the dd method to flash TWRP..?

It looks like the goo manager way doesn't seem to hold unless you flash that file Skunk Ape1 posted. Has anyone confirmed this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crawrj:
The full location should be /data/media/twrp...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ken830:
I was the one with the issue of reverting back to the stock recovery after every boot into system. Turns out I just had to delete or rename these two files:

/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

/system/recovery-from-boot.p

This prevents the system from checking and overwriting the recovery with a stock version at every booth. Thanks goes to EndlessDissent for pointing me to fergie716's post. It was spot-on. And the flash counter is preserved.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
The file I attached does the same thing but also has a copy of su in it as well. The only time the flash counter advances is if you go into download mode and flash with desktop Odin. You can flash anything in recovery without worrying about the flash counter. So yes the file I attached would have worked as well. There are many ways to skin a cat. I just felt it easier to just attach a file to flash than have you dig through your system files.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
True. I didn't know there was a zip file for that, or I probably would have suggested it. On the bright side, at least he learned what exactly was happening, so next time, he'll know he has options and how to deal with it himself.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Keiserrott:
Problem going from Clockwork to TWRP. I've tried this twice now and each time I have installed thru Goo as directed in OP. TWRP loads correctly and everything appears fine, but when I reboot the phone it freezes on a blank screen after the Samsung logo.

I've let it sit for 15 minutes and nothing. Any ideas?

Solved:

Reinstalled clockwork, downloaded TWRP as a zip and installed it thru clockwork (instead of Goo) and everything is fine now.....still scratching my head as to why, but I'll take it :^)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Xalky:
There's no need to be concerned about the flash content anymore.

Triangle Away can reset it back to zero at anytime. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalblaster:
my TWRP wont wipe data and as a result i cant seem to install other roms aside from the one i already have on it. It just comes back and says failed. Any one have a clue what i can do about this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dees_Troy:
Logs or it didn't happen... >_>
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ken830:
Given the choice, I prefer to do it manually than flashing a zip for something this simple. I now understand what's happening, whereas I didn't really know what the zip file would be doing.

Thanks to everyone for helping me out!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
What's the upside/downside to enabling "Skip MD5 generation on backups" when making a backup?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
Upside: The backups and restores will be faster.

Downside: If the backup process is somehow messed up and the backup gets corrupted, it will still be restored, resulting in an unusable system.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
Got it...thank you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fergie716:
Seem to have an issue and I think it might have something to do with mounting /system under Mounts, I'm not sure tho

I had booted into recovery, went into Install and my internal sd was listed under both the external and internal windows

When I navigated to my external sd I was unable to re select my internal (showed no contents listed under my internal)

If I reboot recovery the problem is fixed but this has happened to me before. Both times I mounted /system manually but before I selected 3 zips in the queue, 2 were in my external, the other in the internal. The 3rd zip failed to flash and no contents were listed under my internal

Here is my recovery.log after not seeing anything listed under /sd

ive been on irc few times no response to my question. and no luck any word on time fix. not asking for ETA just wondering
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
I had this happen to me once as well. It kind of worried me as i had just finished wiping data, cache, dalvik and system. Thought i would be doing an Odin restore. But I rebooted recovery and everything was back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
Use the factory reset to wipe data. You don't want to format data with twrp.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thatisandwas:
Absolutely LOVE twrp. SOOO much better then clockwork. I love how easy it is to install through Goo too. It amazes me how quick and easy it is in fact.....my gs3 is finally complete :)

twrp backups

will my backups from the first twrp work with the new version?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dees_Troy:
I'll warn you if we ever break backup compatibility, but we haven't changed backup methods since 1.1.0 which was released about a year ago for only a few devices.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tymansdaddy:
hey

is that a yes or no?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dees_Troy:
If I haven't changed backup methods in over a year, then, yes, your old backups would still work in this new version. And they will continue to work in all future versions unless otherwise noted. You really think that I would release a new version that broke backup compatibility without saying something in big capital letters and a bright hightlight? There'd probably be an uproar and strange, mean people showing up at my house if I didn't let you guys know in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tymansdaddy:
okay

Thanks for the quick reply and all your hard work on making this awsome tool. Just wanted to be sure.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dhyneland:
Sweet, thanks, just updated! I never realized you lived in KC. We neighbors :cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] woshiweili:
I just switched over to TWRP from CWM and was wondering, when I flash a new ROM, besides wiping cache and dalvik cache, do I wipe the "Data" or "System". With CWM it was data but with TWRP's description it sounds like I should wipe System instead. Please advise! Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fergie716:
Do Factory Reset and System

Doing a Factory Reset will wipe all your user data you had for that ROM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] csmasn:
Are these backups compatibles with Titanium Backup Pro. The Extract for Nandroid Option?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] woshiweili:
Thank you very much! I assume Factory Reset and/or System already includes wiping cache and dalvik cache?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Upstreammiami:
I'm having issues with this new update. Everything in my internal is the same on my external... Also can't flash miui rom with it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dees_Troy:
Unless you've attached a USB stick with a USB OTG adapter, you don't have any external storage.

MIUI is probably failing due to a symlink issue which is something that they need to correct with their update script. AOSP (and CWM) recently added code to detect and fail a zip install if a symlink failed to be created.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] woshiweili:
I just flashed the MIUI build here with TWRP 2.2.2.0 and worked fine :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rbtrucking:
How do you update? I go to goo manager app and all i see are options to check for rom updates. When i click on find updates it says no updates found.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
Settings > Install OpenRecoveryScript
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] woshiweili:
When I restore a backup, would I have to wipe Factory Reset & System first as you would before flashing a new ROM? Or does the restore function do what's necessary already? Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lviv73:
Whre are the themes?

It says "Let you change every aspect",but in settings there are only two options that dont let you change a single aspect,lol.

Am i missing something?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dees_Troy:
TWRP is themable and there are instructions for making a theme on our website, but so far there hasn't been a lot of community support for making custom themes. There's a few out there if you search.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skunk Ape1:
Just curious if the date issue has been fixed? Not a big deal... Just a bit inconvenient.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Wearespacepeople:
What do I need know if I'm coming from CWM?

Edit* nvm I got it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Kchitown1977:
Not yet
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dees_Troy:
I don't actually have a SGS3, so the odds of me fixing it are slim. But if someone else can figure out what the deal is, I'll be happy to look at kanging it into the official builds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dhyneland:
Not sure if its required or not, but I have always made it a habit to go ahead and perform a factory reset before restoring any backup.

I cannot get this recovery to recognize my new 64gig microsd card...
