I don't think you can flash kernel from stock recovery. Enter Download mode and flash kernel (+ custom recovery) through Odin. Then you can carry on as described. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Best regards Coempi
[Galaxy S II Android Development] leechseed:
You can flash from stock recovery... (PhilZ only)

But for 2.3.5 you need CF kernel or just update the phone before you use PhilZ..

restore a backup

neatrom with philz 4.93.6 lsn samgsung sg2 i9100

i did a back up , followed by a data reset and restore the last backup

but i have a loop after the beginning of installation of neatrom (same thing with alliance rom)

it seems not possible to restore a backup and it is necessary to start again a new installation from the initial zip

same thing with previous versions of philz

[Galaxy S II Android Development] thunderger:
I noticed that CWM is showing a blank screen if I try to flash another kernel. And sometimes it freezes by formating / wiping.

In both cases I've to do a hard reset.

That's annoying. Is it a feature or a bug? I want to use philz cwm to flash dorimanx for JB rom. Old ICS way doesn't work anymore. Is there no alternative to Philz cwm?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] br46:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] electricsheepdreamer:
Hi Phil,

just to confirm that everything works great with fixed LSN 4.93.6. version on NeatLite 4.6.1.

Everything is smooth and stable with excellent battery life.

I would like to add that it is neccessary to save those settings afterwards in order to make them permanent and I deleted philz-touch dir from /system manually.

I actually read OP :)

(Installed file manager as well, prevented Superuser app from installing, and used prepare for fresh ROM install in data/factory reset menu prior to clean flash of ROM, made a personal custom ROM, use exFat 64Gb externalSD, didn't touch default great looks, took screenshots, saved logs.... nice)

Thanks man.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] donzzy:
Hey Phil/Esd! Do we need to delete philz touch dir from /system evertime there's an update? And what happens if I don't want to prevent superuser app to be re-installed? :)

[sent from Galaxy SII i9100?]
[Galaxy S II Android Development] electricsheepdreamer:
1. No, just the last update (it's in the changelog)

2.Then it is re-installed. (not an issue)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] electricsheepdreamer:

(Edited. I'm a bit dizzy after all those ROM, kernel, apps version numbers. Need to prepare head for fresh install...coffee...)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
And latest I compiled, so not a secret leak but some time travelling machine in the future LoL
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Spannaa:
Phil, it says in the changelog for 4.93.6 "move philz settings file from /system to /data"

Mine is still in /system and there's no sign of one in /data

I don't want to delete the one in /system until I know there's one in /data somewhere...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Boot into recovery, then save PhilZ settings.

This should create the new settings file in /data.

As I haven't tried it myself (I am still on Dorimanx kernel), please report back.

Thanks !
[Galaxy S II Android Development] electricsheepdreamer:
Hi Spanna,

I hit restore (or save) Philz settings after flashing the future latest one and it was there.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Spannaa:
Just done that and I have \system\philz-touch\philz-touch.ini & \storage\extSdCard\clockworkmod\philz-touch.ini.bak

Can't see anything related to Philz in \data
[Galaxy S II Android Development] electricsheepdreamer:
Hit restore settings.

I believe that's what I did.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Spannaa:
I:

Rebooted into recovery

Opened Aroma

Deleted \system\philz-touch folder

Exited Aroma

Restored Philz settings

Opened Aroma again

\system\philz-touch\philz-touch.ini is back and there's still no sign of anything Philz in \data :confused:

[EDIT]

OK, got it!

Re-installed 4.93.6, reset recovery defaults, restored settings from extsdcard and the folder appeared in \data

Deleted the folder in \system and rebooted

All's good - cheers guys ;)

[/EDIT]
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:

Ok ... I flashed PhilZ kernel v4.93.6, booted into recovery, restored PhilZ settings, saved the setting again and rebooted.

Folder for PhilZ touch was created in /data. Then I deleted the folder in /system and everything is fine.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
Those are the perfect steps :good: (done for my 8 limit today)

Only one step is missing: Do a backup of your settings before updating to new version ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
Sorry ... I came from a different kernel (Dorimanx v8.14). That's why I missed the backup step :(

Try to remember it ... when you change the backup location for your kernel settings next time ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
I still think /system was the best location, or maybe sdcard...

However, it was leading to mount of /system and many zip scripts forget to unmount it before formatting, leading to people complain they cannot install some zip updates/roms

In v5, the loading of settings will be completely revised and much optimized compared to now. Settings could migrate to sdcard this time ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Shahrokh.KING:
cant modify or write anything on sdcard,

wanamlite LSN

philz 4.93.6

edit: after restart its normal and after about 30 seconds it looks like sdcard is locked, the taken pictures with camera wont be saved and ...

checked all the apps its not app related

..back to 4.93.2 (edit: this didnt help, what should i do?)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
You can try to fix permissions in recovery.

But I think that you will have to format your sd card.

If you flash the ROM with Odin, be sure that the "Flash lock" option is not enabled (UNTICKED).

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sefrcoko:
Try this... Remove your sd card and insert into a desktop computer. I did this with windows 7 and a prompt appeared on my computer asking if I wanted to scan the disk. I accepted, it scanned, then it found and fixed some errors. Next i put the sd card back in my phone and now i no longer have any problems writing to sd, etc.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] McKael:
Hi,

I don't know if I'm missing something, but recently I've had a few crashes related to low storage space since the recovery tries to backup sd-ext (using the normal backup).

Is there a way to prevent this (other than doing a custom backup)?

I don't think sd-ext was dumped previously, so I'm not sure if I messed something up or if it's a change in Philz Recovery... :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
Ah, sd-ext was always part of recovery code in backup / restore. However, it needed sd-ext entry to be added to the fstab file

Since a couple of months I think I added sd-ext support in fstab

So, recovery will now detect that partition, where previously it couldn't

Since I never changed the main cwm code behavior, the Backup/Restore will automatically process it. You have to use custom backup or ors scripting from main OS

Is there any reason you do not use custom backup instead? Just out of curiosity as I can enhance it if needed
[Galaxy S II Android Development] McKael:
Thanks for the explanation.

No, there's no reason, it's just fewer clicks :)

I don't think it's generally useful to backup sd-ext, though!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Phil3759:
Well, I added it on request as original CWM doesn't support selective partitions backup. It only has an Advanced Restore for selective restore of some partitions. But backup is non configurable at all.

I could later trick the main Backup and Restore menus to have defaults settings maybe

This would make it possible to have "custom backups" even using the extendedcommands where actually you need ors
[Galaxy S II Android Development] McKael:
OK

I'm fine with custom backups anyway... I was just wondering why all of a sudden my backups were so large.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] scandiun:
Well if applications are installed on external sd I appreciate the option to backup them as well. I appreciate the feature, although, some people may tend to think that is not necessary because you can physically remove the ext-sd. Both opinions are valid.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pilotn:
Have you tried orange backup?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] scandiun:
No, I always use cwm from recovery
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pilotn:
Try it, it's great, you can do a nandroid backup without to go into recovery
[Galaxy S II Android Development] infernalMan:
Why i always get a bootloop after restore from full cwm backup??

If i just restore data only it works.

But not with system.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Coempi:
Check in recovery settings if the backup of preload is enabled.

SG2 with neatroom lite 4.6.1 and PhilZ-cwm6 v4.93.6 with CWM 6.0.3.1 based recovery XWLSN

the back up with TWRP method doesn't backup preload partition

and preload can't be ticked

so restore a twrp back up doesn't run (loop after boot)

I tried a backup restore with nandroid manager in TWRP (preload is included in the backup)

and restoring is running well

No, it won't change your boot animation - it's just a kernel and Philz recovery.

In TWRP (I can't remember the exact version) that comes with jeboo 2.1 there's a checkbox with enable preload.

Someone can explain why when I flash a zip file with recovery battery drain on lot?

This time from 52 to 22 percent.

I'm using rom toolbox go reboot into recovery
[Galaxy S II Android Development] It_ler:
One reason could be that the battery stats chip was not settled down correctly.

After flashing a kernel or ROM the battery stats chip has to auto-adapt itself newly to show reliable values for the remaining battery power level.

This will take a while ... several reboots + charging circles.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pilotn:
I flashed only busybox installation zip file.....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Namoi:
It happen even if you don't flash anything. Just rebooting the phone when the battery level is near/under 50% can trigger that behavior. At least i encountered it already.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] scandiun:
This is the battery gauge getting out of sync, it happened to me several times with JB, but never on ICS. Probably is an issue with newest version of android, since there is no reason for it to happen.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Namoi:
Hm, if I remember correctly, it used to happen on ICS too (at least on my ICS 4.0.3), but it is indeed definitely related to the battery gauge geting out of sync.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] pilotn:
That's true, it happens only with jb, and to me, only flashing even a little file.

Without you and xda members, I would never pushed it this way.

I have a v5 GUI quiet ready for you. The smoothest touch response (bye bye previous random skips, except after a scroll to keep it secure for now), still secure as before, and a real scroll

Was supposed to be after dualboot. However, I was facing big issues while porting to new devices so had to re-write the touch code. While on it, was hard to stop.

Still some tweaking and it will be ready
