I use compression on and I haven't encounter the red light of death so far. *knocks on wood*

Is it normal that flashing a ROM + GApps drains ~35% from battery?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] veyka:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.1.0 touch recovery [2013-02-01]

Haven't had any issues with the normal twrp, making backups with compression, restoring, flashing etc.

I made a backup, flashed 3 zips (Ubuntu, so big ones), ran it for a bit, then restored the backup, only lost 20% total, but it will vary with how many apps etc you have to backup.

These sort of operations are very battery hungry, on most devices I have had it seems normal to lose a good chunk of battery flashing or backing up, due to the heavy nature of the operation.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] thebrainkafka:
AW: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.1.0 touch recovery [2013-02-01]

Thats why its always recommended To have a full charge before flashing roms.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] w0dash:
I was also using the official TWRP. I am not quite sure, but I think CWM is not nearly as battery hungry... :confused:

I have a problem everytime I make a backup then try to restore it does not restore properly its like its done a factory reset and I get system ui fc all the time it used to be fine I don't know what happened it just does not restore my ROM properly anymore I carnt seem to get it to backup properly pls could someone help me thanks I've used it without problem for a few months but now its broken I've had to use clockworkmod pls can someone help pleeeeeeeease:(
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Dees_Troy:
Logs logs logs... without logs a bug report is usually useless. Look in your TWRP/BACKUPS/(serial number)/(backup name)/ folder for a recovery.log. Do a restore and then immediately after the restore go to advanced -> copy log. Get both logs and post or PM them (preferrably PM).
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] zephiK:
Very nice feature for beginners.

TWRP always my recovery of choice :) keep it up
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] styckx:
Hiya Dees. This "Clicked" effect.. Are you talking about the lightbox that overlays the button? Not sure if it's constantly polling to know a finger is on the screen but the effect doesn't work if you just do quick taps, or even normal touches. If I just hold a finger on a button I get the effect but normal ops I barely ever see it.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] dima901:
AW: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.2.0 touch recovery [2013-02-25]

So, first backup with compression was successful with 2.4.2.0 without the issue, where the N4 shut off within making a backup and only could be turned on with the charger plugged in.

Good work and nice new features, keep it up :)

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Lownita:
Flashed 2.4.2.0 and checked (type uname -a in terminal command), good news: TWRP is running on bricked kernel again! So hopefully and most likely no more overheating!

edit: seems to be an older kernel build than show-p1984 posted here, but that shouldn't matter.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Agent5150:
Dang !... I wonder what else we shouldn't be doing to our Android phones :p
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] rmkilc:
Oh, there are apps that will wipe your battery stats if it makes you feel better. :p But I'm sure TWRP left out the "feature" because it is worthless.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ArangeLTX:
Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Dees_Troy:
Graphics in recovery are all done via CPU so the draw rate tends to be somewhat low (and lower the higher the resolution). I felt that not always seeing the clicked effect was better than slowing things down by drawing the clicked effect for 1 to 3 frames before changing pages. Maybe newer devices' CPUs will catch up with the resolution race that we've seen for the last year or so.

The bricked kernel that TWRP uses has different, lower thresholds for the thermal management and is thus slightly different than the version that show-p publishes for Android use.

hey guys i just installed TWRP recovery coming from Clockworkmod, but after i finished i realized i didnt delete the old backup and now i cant delete it manually is there any way?!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] rmkilc:
Clockworkmod stores backups in a silly location, rather than what we call the internal storage (/data/media/0/). Look in /data/media/clockworkmod.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] marwan91:
i know its there but couldnt delete it manually, maybe the problem is root browser?!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] rmkilc:
Yep. Need root access to delete there I believe.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] marwan91:
nvm i have root ofc but i meant the app root browser lite may not be good for deleting system files..

thats thats the reason i guess.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] DesignGrits:
Is anyone else having issues with TWRP not restoring from backup correctly? I create a backup with compression, do a full wipe, and then restore from backup. It says successful but it launches the phone like if it was a fresh install, but small things don't change like the custom kernel I flashed and the wifi auto connects with password to my local wifi network. Just weird, its done this twice now, and just recently I was trying to navigate through the directories to install a file and it keep rebooting the recovery when I would choose a directory. Just weird, and very frustrating. I just installed the latest TWRP again. Will test again soon once I re-set up everything.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] rmkilc:
It is a known issue. I have sent recovery logs to Dees_Troy per his instructions. Can't wait to hear what his findings are. In the meantime, do not rely on TWRP for backup and restore!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] DesignGrits:
Thank you for the feedback dude. Just to let you know if I enable compression and use Orange app from the market to make backups twrp will restore the backup, its just twrp by itself doesn't work.

Sorry guys, can't really search because I'm on the XDA app, but I'm sure it has been asked before: How come we can't mount the internal SD card on the mako & manage the folder with Windows?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Lownita:
I don't know the exact reason anymore, but I know for sure: It is simply not possible! I believe it is because /sdcard is just an emulated partition on /data partition.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] gubshi:
Ah well, that's what happened to me yesterday, twice. was just about to report. even an older backup done with an older version of TWRP didn't work, it just doesn't restore the userdata. so I got to be carefull for now :/

P. S. I've now used twrp over 4 devices, without a hiccup, for over a year. Maybe you're holding it wrong.. :thumbup:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] molesarecoming:
dees, would it be possible to create an alternate version of twrp (or some sort of default mode/expert mode) that is more integrated into the whole? 99.99% of all people use recovery for two simple things, backup and flashing. yet recoveries are full of things that only a tiny minority of geeks need, which kind of takes away from the overall android experience and makes flashing unneccesary cumbersome. i am myself a geek but i havent used more than two buttons in twrp ever.

what i am getting at is --- i believe believe the reason the romscene is a tiny little blotch is because it seems complicated and it is. critical things that should be simple are bottlenecks that most people are not willing to squeeze through. if you take a look at android - its simple, its straight forward, its not made for technicians and hackers. but the moment you enter the recovery and youre overwhelmed by the very opposite, its like two conflicting worlds.

as a new user you go to xda and people tell you to "read up." i think its a bummer. cyanogenmod starts to hide away the recovery from the regular user. i think its a bummer and they're wrong. more people should realize how important the recovery really is. rather than hiding it from sight i think it should be more prominent and integrated instead. if it werent a backdoor but an official means to get up to date, i think that would go a long way.

what it really needs is four simple things:

1. password lock

2. install zip queue (with two checkboxes: factory reset / wipe caches)

3. backup / restore

4. clean holo interface, as a default

Any thoughts on this?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] smirkis:
do i care if you care?

i shared it because this is a forum.

i do enjoy things that work, and it happened to not work at a time i really needed it to. i know there are issues occasionally, no need to be defensive over something, you didn't create.

i use twrp on all my devices, maybe updating is my issue. blame me of course

Trying to learn more about how all of this stuff works together........what is the difference or why is there a version of bricked kernel included with this custom recovery? How is it different from a kernel that's included in a ROM you would flash?

Do all custom recovery's require there own kernel separate from the ROM?

Has anyone that's having issues restoring a backup considered the possibility that you might have a bad download or install of TWRP? Just something to consider.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] greg17477:
No, no bad download here and i doubt some body else has flashed a "bad downloaded" TWRP. I even doubt that it's possible to flash a corrupted zip.

So we still could not narrow down this serious issue :/ I flashed back the 2.4.1.0 version and it is working fine now. I have to stay with this version until we figure out what is corrupting the backups on 2.4.2.x.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Redneck Trash:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.2.1 touch recovery [2013-02-26]

You can flash a bad zip. I did it yesterday. Not the first time I've done that. I just brought it up as a possibility. Not like it would hurt anything if someone decided to download it a second time and flash again.

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

From the Twrp website:

What's new in 2.4.3.0:

Fixed 2 bugs related to restore, one dealing with mknod failures (by bigbiff) and one dealing with restoring hardlinks (by Dees_Troy)

NOTE: If your backups weren't restoring correctly in earlier 2.4.x versions they should restore correctly now. Hopefully you didn't delete those backups. If you're still having problems, run the restore, go to advanced and copy log, then give us the log. Complaints without logs will be rightfully ignored.

Added a scroll bar to file selectors and listboxes courtesy of Tassadar

Added libblkid for more accurate detection of file systems and can now detect exFAT properly thanks to bigbiff

Added a screen dim effect 2 seconds before screen off on some devices

Finally fixed file selector crash (one of the joys of working with multi-threaded software)

Fixed loading of screen timeout setting during startup

Improvements and bugfixes to screen timeout code

Fixed persistence of the 24 hour / military time setting
