[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sprudeldudel:
Hi guys,

I have installed a ROM on my HD2, wich offers two different Kernels: tytung and SecureCRT.

Now I have found detailed descriptions of each one of these, but what I am asking myself is: What is the impact of that on my daily use?

I would really appreciate if someone could give me the essence of the pro and cons of these two kernels in terms of something accessable like:

- performance

- compatiibility with apps

- reliability / stability

- battery usage

Many thanks in advance.

I have the Bose MEI2i which have the Forward/Rewind buttons and the answer call button, although these are for my old iPhone, all the buttons work excluding the volume up and down which is the biggest annoyance but I find that these fit perfectly in my ears and do not clog my earholes like the standard and all these Skullcandy and Beats by Dre that I also have and can't stand using, nothing wrong with their sound quality, just they make you feel that you have popped your ears.

On a sidenote, if anybody can tell me if there is an App or anything to enable the Volume Up/Down buttons to work, I would be most grateful.

[HTC Droid DNA] iOSh8er:
I've ran into some trouble with mine. I have created three backups, each with slight differences to system, trying some things out on the ROM. The lase edit was the build.prop. It wouldn't boot so I went to Recovery to restore one of my backups. When it is a good 10 seconds into restoring system, the progress bar stops turning and it reboots. Each time I try this it seems to stop at a slightly different point into the system restore. Most of the time it wont go far enough to allow boot, just the splash screen and then it automatically boots into TWRP.

All of that is ok, and I could get around it, but now my phone is dead! Any suggestions?

*Edit* Got it guys. I was able to use the USB charger from my TPrime and it charged in TWRP. After it charged a bit I was able to fastboot flash TWRP again and restore one of the backups. I'm not sure how it became corrupted, but its all good now!

[HTC Droid DNA] Deuces:
it has rebooted on me during a backup as well. i tried again and was successful, but there definitely seems to be a bug somewhere
[HTC Droid DNA] jschill31:
Hello,

Definitely a bug, seems that after the first successful backup unit will no longer get past the system file.

UPDATE, your backups will complete if you do not change the name. Leave it as the date or default name If this does not work for you the only other thing I have done since it was rebooting was to install/update busybox. This may also work for those who are restoring backups and getting the reboot...did you change the file name? Whatever I am sure it is just a temp bug that will be fixed soon as well as the layout.

Cheers

I have backups failing when not changing the name as well. Bug happens either way.

After several attempts I am eventually able to get a good backup, but it fails more often than it completes.
[HTC Droid DNA] jschill31:
Interesting, obviously this needs a bit of work. I have not tried to make another one, I have been spending time modding the factory shipped rom. There are so many features hidden by Verizon. Also there is something running in the background that eats our batteries. Hard to start cranking on a rom without a reliable recovery. I sent a note over on the TWRP website, hopefully someone will have some ideas. On the size issue has anyone tried using a TWRP skin from one of the 1080p tablets?

Cheers
[HTC Droid DNA] jschill31:
Have you looked into using one of the 1080p tablet themes? I plan on doing that tonight.
[HTC Droid DNA] starscream86:
Any luck with that?
[HTC Droid DNA] jschill31:
Hello,

Actually a big NO on that...this recovery isn't even recognizing the THEME folder? It seems this has a few bugs to iron out. I looked at pulling the resource the other day and building a new one but I can't seem to find a reliable git for the DNA? If anyone knows of one please let me know and I will pull the files late tonight. I am not a DEV by all means but have been building for multiple devices for over two years and have a smoking build machine. I am not comfortable working on any roms until we have a solid recovery. Don't get me wrong, this does backup after a few tries but what I am worried about is a fail when trying to restore. I have read where Clockwork it the same way, seems to have something to do with the partitions?

Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.3.0 touch recovery [2013-03-01]

By reading the OP where it states:

The fastest and easiest way to install TWRP is to use the GooManager app:

Play Store Link

Direct Download

1) Install GooManager from the Play Store

2) Open GooManager and provide root permissions

3) Hit Menu (or the button with the 3 dots on your screen) and then Install OpenRecovery
[HTC Droid DNA] yearn2burn:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.3.0 touch recovery [2013-03-01]

If you just like downloading or want a prior version, you can manually download at http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/dlx

To install, use adb from your pc or install using Flash Image GUI app from market.
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.3.0 touch recovery [2013-03-01]

Goo manager is crazy easy, almost too easy. The problem I usually see is people install goo manager, open the app, and then feel the need to browse to find the recovery file.

All you do is open the app to the first screen that comes up. Press menu and that's where you'll see "Install OpenRecovery Script" once you do that the rest of the process is automated, it will download and install the recovery without you pressing anything else. After its finished just reboot to recovery and check the version number at the top.

[HTC Droid DNA] yearn2burn:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.3.0 touch recovery [2013-03-01]

It's easy once u know the trick. The problem is it's not intuitive. There should b a simple button to install recovery. At the very least, the menu item should say something like "install twrp recovery" rather than the more arcane "install openrecoveryscript".

Downloading then using flash gui is intuitive but the download link for the recovery image is hard to find.

So both r easy in a different way n hard in a different way.

Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.4.0 touch recovery [2013-03-12]

I noticed the "fix permissions" command doesn't complete properly in TWRP. Just does a cursory fix of each component and completes in about a second. Obviously too quick to have done anything. Doesn't matter if system mounted or not. If system is mounted, fix permissions unmounts it. CWM had that problem until latest release where mounting of system fixed.
[HTC Droid DNA] Dees_Troy:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.4.0 touch recovery [2013-03-12]

Fix permissions in TWRP is written entirely in C/C++. We use a proper XML parser and update ionodes directly which makes it much faster than the shell script used in CWM.

We unmount system after certain types of activities because many ROMs use the dsixda kitchen which doesn't unmount system before formatting which causes serious problems with the format. Obviously dsixda kitchen ROMs need to be updated, but because "it works fine in CWM" people perceive this to be an issue with TWRP.

I had a strange thing develop with TWRP. I can only see a couple sd card folders and themes stopped working. I've tried several versions. Anything that you know could cause that? Started after flashing test version of CWM, I think, although not clear cause and effect.

Using the TWRP file manager, the folders I see are TWRP with only file in it .twrps, and clockworkmod with only file .recovery_version.

The sd card functions normally with ROM booted and with cwm recovery. Just TWRP all versions.
[HTC Droid DNA] Flyhalf205:
Check and see if you have a folder 0 on your sdcard. If you do, move all the contents of 0 back to the root of your sdcard of if you don't. You could try putting your TWRP theme in sdcard/0/TWRP/theme/ui.zip and see if it has a difference.
[HTC Droid DNA] yearn2burn:
That was it. So how did that folder show up, coincidentally with 2 subfolders with names of competing recoveries??
[HTC Droid DNA] Flyhalf205:
JB 4.2 uses the 0 folder on the sdcard for multi users so i'm told. So depending on which TWRP you use. If built with cm-10.1 source then your files will be moved to 0. It's complicated lol

EDIT: With the new CWM. It will copy a file to /sdcard/clockworkmod and /sdcard/0/clockworkmod no matter what lol
[HTC Droid DNA] Dees_Troy:
It doesn't matter what tree was used to build TWRP. The whole 0 thing is based on what ROMs you install. Anytime you go from an older version of Android to 4.2, your 4.2 ROM will try to update your file structure to the multiple users setup and create a new 0 folder.

[HTC Droid DNA] Cadillac Johnson:
So to clarify, when doing a full wipe for a new ROM, I usually 'Factory Reset' 'Wipe System' 'Wipe Cache/Dalvik"

I know the previous versions would wipe everything if you selected 'Format Data'. Does 'Factory Reset' now wipe everything?
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
Yeah its still the same formatting data will wipe your internal storage and you dont need to do that for a Rom install.

You have it correct.

[HTC Droid DNA] yearn2burn:
I had that folder show up out of nowhere. I renamed it then ended up deleting it. There was nothing relevant in it.
[HTC Droid DNA] zounduser:
Whats up with this? The path for the backup is data/media? Also, i had to reinstall a full rom, because something odd happened, i wiped data factory reset, then went to install a different rom. Well there was no files when i went to install? So decided to restore backup......that wasnt there either? Just this so called 0 folder? Which only had "twrp" folder in it? I figured i must have hit format data, or sd, or something? I decided to dig deeper, i eventually found all my normal files, folders, and zips, under data/media? So i installed from there. Luckily it worked. I deleted the 0 folder once booted, and rebooted back into twrp to check things out. Ran backup, and it backed up to data/media as u can see in the pic.

My question is.....should i backup everything and format the sd? Im confused? Never had this problem before? Thanks.

[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
Clockwork Mod is where I first saw the data/media/0 instead of data/media

But if you've never flashed clockwork mod it's because TWRP is also using data/media/0

Most likely the source is using that filepath now because Android 4.2.2 uses that file path, so it's probably the default upstream

You lost all of your data on sdcard because you wiped "DATA" which is the internal flash storage partition where everything but boot and recovery and hboot, storage where the sdcard is located.

You're only supposed to wipe these Factory Reset, System, and cache and dalvic unless you want to fully format the internal storage partition

And to answer the other question data/media is the internal sdcard, sdcard is like a nickname for the data/media directory they are one in the same. When you wipe with a factory reset in TWRP you " wipe data - data/media" you'll actually see it written inside the recovery itself.
