If you restore a full backup it is 100% the same as it was when you made the backup.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shantanuparadkar:
Hii friends, few months back I rooted my phone. Now m planning to change the ROM. But m very much concern about working of my homekey button. Even after pressing it, it doesn't respond though sometimes it works properly (but only sometimes). My current ROM gives me option to go into recovery by pressing restart button but I am not sure whether the same option is there in the new ROM which I am planning to install. I might have problems if it doesn't have that option coz booting into recovery might get difficult if the key doesn't work. Is there any solution for it?

And also will Samsung service center entertain me with it taking into consideration the rooted state of phone (yellow triangle still there)?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Well firstly, you can use Triangle Away to reset binary counter and remove yellow triangle, then just flash stock rom via ODIN if you want to return for warranty.

Second, There are various apps on net that can reboot your device into recovery or download modes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shantanuparadkar:
My warranty period is over so that's not a problem. Will they take it with the triangle?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Hey, I've been looking at switching from ext4 to F2FS, even if temporarly (I think I might like to have it permanently though). I don't dev, at least nothing of notice, but I was rather eager to test it out, after reading performance reports, testing it out on a SD card for myself, etc.. and as the original merge to the Linux kernel (found here) went in already, maybe we could benefit from this. It seems there's already an attempt to it (on the Nexus7 forum, here), and from what I've learned the major "issue" for the device itself would be to add the support for the filesystem in recovery (mkfs.f2fs) - needed for formatting /system, etc - but fuse/vold support would be necessary as well, no?

There's no fsck yet, but that is also true for btrfs and I use it at home with no major issues (while it has been in development way earlier than f2fs, I never had any data loss, for example, don't have many power outages at home so :P), so that could wait a bit longer;

Would fastboot itself need to be modified for 'fastboot flash all' to work?

I'm posting this thread because I want to learn, not because I want to be spoonfed. Feel free to post your experiences with the filesystem, reading tips, kernel patches for 3.0.39 ;) xD

Definitely ambitious. Especially since Samsung only introduced it at the end of last year. A file system with nand storage in mind should also offer some kind of performance boost.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Sure, it's probably not going to be easy, i.e.: just pull the project from kernel mainline/building (I remind everyone that it has been merged against linux3.8+), but I think we could see performance gains, there's a benchmark posted over @kernel mailing list against EXT4 and NILFS2; even with fsync on, it rules over the other two, both at sequential and random workload.

Quoting phoronix:

Only thing it does take longer than EXT4 is at mounting devices, but we don't have external sd anyways so..

Yeah, it's a great topic, I feel we as a community could try to experiment with it. I for one can contribute with online time, testing, building, debugging.
[Motorola Atrix 2] gcretro:
I have an US ATT Atrix2 with ICS (via OTA). CPU @ 1GHZ. I have rooted it. My next 2 goals are: 1.Try the Overclock mod 2. Later try NUMA Rom or perhaps the Paranoid Rom.

Next I have been searching & reading all over about CWM recovery etc. I have used these threads:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1396650

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1511616

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1346977

But I am pretty lost/confused regarding the terms: CWM recovery, A2 bootstrap, Bootmenu manager.

So I'll try to summarize my questions

1. Bootmenu manager: Is this the stock menu that shows up when holding down both vol button and powering on? What is the purpose/use of this?

-I see options: Normal power up, recovery, AP fastboot, BP tools. Can someone explain these or is there a thread?

-Is the AP Fast-boot mode used in conjunction with RSDLite to restore stock ROMs (stock ICS)?

-Can FXZ (.zip's) that custom roms come in be flashed from SD cards with this Bootmenu manager?

2. CWM recovery? Atrix2 bootstrap? I suppose both these go together and is essentially a "3rd party" recovery program? that allows us:

-to take/restore full backups and flashing of FXZ's?

-this is not same as the "ap fasboot" and using RSDLite?"

-AND this can be removed/uninstalled?"

I was looking at MOD OC/UC/init.d thread:

It says: "reboot into recovery you are using (you must be rooted with bootstrap, not sure if will work with bootmenu....)". What exactly do I need here?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Cwm is the same for all phones, Google for clockwork mod recovery.

We have three implementations of cwm for our phone. They are the following.

1) bootmenu manager - it is as I said an implementation of cwm, but adds in a few features like dual booting 2 ROMS, and gets you the ability to get to it on every boot.

2) bootstrap - a no frills version of cwm, and you can not get into it on every boot without a hack. Most things in here are known to work 100% with bootstrap.

Now there are some things that need to be modified to work with boot menu, and others will just work, trying will usually not hurt you as you can fxz if you bootloop.

3) Cwm is also built into the cm based roms, cm10, cm10.1, PA, etc. This version allows you to get to it on every boot by hitting the volume down button when the blue led lights up.

Hope this cleared it up a little bit.

If something says it works with bootstrap only, then that is what you need, but again it might, just might work with boot menu, and prolly just has not been tested.

[Motorola Atrix 2] gcretro:
Thx.

1. So with an all stock ICS, the factory menu that I get by holding both vol buttons and power is of no use to us? (and it's not any implemention of CWM). How is this factory menu referred to around here?. (Till I read your explanation above, I figured that call Bootmenu manager).

2. Before I try any roms, I want to take a complete back up the rooted ICS I have (so I can 100% restore and not loose anything incl my apps). What do I need to install for this? CWM Bootmenu manager or CWM bootstrap?

3. If I install the CWM bootmenu manager, you mention it gives the option on every boot. Will this be a nuisance need human intervention for normal power on?
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
1. It is used to get into fastboot mode to flash an fxz. It is called stock recovery.

2. Either one will work.

3. It's set to time out and boot automatically after a few seconds. Human intervention is only needed if you want to use the recovery mode. Its not a, nuisance, it's a very handy tool for getting out of boot loops.

[Motorola Atrix 2] gcretro:
Appreciate your time and Jim's!. A2 Bootstrap are settling in after I watched this youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcWpL_OJx8c

It explains A2 bootstrap and additionally "CWM_on_boot" mod (by JY Danny). I see one has to successfully boot into the phone to be able to launch A2 bootstrap which may not be possible in case of a screw up. Hence the advantage of doing the CWM on boot mod. (And using CWM boot strap, there is no need for RSDLite?). Is my understanding correct?

Now "Stock Recovery" and it's AP Fast-boot mode: is to be used in conjunction with RSDLite to flash stock ROMs (stock ICS)? (esp in case of a screw up). But the same can this also be done via CWM's "install from zip from sd card"?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Well see you hit upon the one major issue with this device. It is that since we have a locked bootloader, we can't flash anything to the recovery partition on the phone, so that means that if you screw up your rom/image CWM is really useless to you, since it actually sits on the system partition with the ROM itself. Now bootmenu manager does place a set of files on the pre-install partition and is a little safer in that respect, but the core of it is still on the system partition, so if you bootloop bad enough, you will not be able to get into bootmenu or bootstrap even with the on every boot hack by J. Y. Daddy.

If the above happens and you can not get into CWM at all, then it is time to use RSD lite and flash the fxz. The FXZ is really your "backup" or your way out of a screw up.

You can backup all day long with CWM, but if you can't get to CWM to restore it, what good is the backup. You can just as easily fxz, and go the play store and install all of your apps again, and sync your contacts online with google, and you are back up and running in a little more time than a CWM restore anyhow.

The ONLY reason for CWM for this phone is to be able to flash ROMs, it really does not serve much more of a purpose. Now I will say that the CWM that is built into the CM based ROMS does not have as much of an issue in a bootloop as the other 2 CWM versions, so installing a CM based ROM may be your best bet, but most of them do have the "stock" camera app working, so you will need to use a 3rd party app to make that work, also the camera flash has issues too, but that be fixed as well.

Again all these things point out your choices and the faults of the CWM implementations we have here, so it really is your choice as to what is best for you and your useage. You can also try them all out, one at a time, and see which one is best for you.
[Motorola Atrix 2] gcretro:
I got it. So the ultimatesavior, is having the trio: Stock ICS fxz, RSD lite & the stock recovery's AP FAST boot (which i suppose in part of the factory bootloader).

Can you confirm/correct the steps below for this?

1. Hold pwr button and vol up&down.

2. Select AP Fastboot. Connect USB cable to computer.

3. Open up RSDLite 6.0, select the FZX and start it? (I read about keeping the FZX zip file in like C:\ and not a long path and also drag & drop the FXZ instead of browse)

4. and bam! all stock working atrix2 :victory:
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
Jim is much more knowledgeable than I am, but you've outlined it exactly the way I always do it.:thumbup: The only thing I would add to that is to make sure you have a good charge on your battery. I read somewhere that it should be 80%, but I always get a full charge to 100% just to be sure. If the battery dies or gets too low it will cause BIG problems. I found that out the hard way.:rolleyes:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] electroblood:
I have been trying to figure out my my App storage on my LTE for a while now. On a clean rom installation I have 634MB free, while 12.26GB is taken up by "Other". How do I see what "Other" is and why its taking up so much space?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexjzim:
Do you use google music?

i believe that it is the culprit, as i was running into the same problem, a huge amount of space taken up by other. I'm pretty sure if you save music offline, it doesnt get wiped when you wipe data and install a new rom, however the newly installed play music app is unable to access this offline cache. So you to redownload your music for offline music, building up a large amount of storage.

Backup your photos and anything you make might be afraid of losing, and go to erase phone storage in the storage menu. Let me know how if it clears that exra space.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] electroblood:
So Erased internal phone storage and that didnt help. I wiped everything and reinstalled the same rom, and my partitions look totally different now. This is the same Rom (Viper 3.0.1) with defaults taken all the way. I am on 3.15, S-offed. Look at the image below... Why are they so different? What should the values be?

This is Pre-wipe:

Post Wipe:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexjzim:
After your wipe, you have the same maximum storage values as me. What i would say at this point is the storage shown by other is actually the system.

6.07+9.93=16gb total. So if other is around 4gb, then it would be an apropriate amount of space for the system to take up, as well as leaving the evo in line for the 2gb of app storage that its advertised with.

Breezing through this article helps it fit right in line http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/89588

Looking at the last pic (That was when the evo first came out), it doesnt have the other option under app storage, but instead of seeing all 16gbs, you see about 12gb.

EDIT: confirmed. the 4gb space is reserved for the system and future updates.

Thanks for the confirmation I appreciate it. Before the wipe my partitions were not set up correctly but I have no idea how it happened. If I figure it out I will update the post.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] debarron:
The phone storage is the internal "sd card". I think one of the TWRP updates had an issue where it formatted sd cards to 2g (fixed in a later update). Wonder if that's why before it only showed 2g of phone storage.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BPHusker:
I'm having the same issue. Is there anyway to check which apps have cached data?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ahoeschele:
I am having a similar issue.

The folder Other is 1.84 GB and Apps only 0.92 GB. It says I have 143 MB left, but whenever I try to update large apps such as Facebook or Chrome (18 and 35 MB) it says it doesn't have enough space and gets an error. I hav to clean my phone and clear the cache in order for that installation to work.

Why does it say my Appstorage is only 2.90 GB??

Anybody know how to fix this?

Search the development forums for the 4.3 RUU, and update your phones firmware to the new Hboot. The new memory format has solved this problem.

Hi aarsyl, I am a noob on the latest stock (3.17.651.4) - can I take this to mean, assuming I unlock it, I can update the bootloader and keep my stock ROM? I'd rather wait until HTC stabilizes it before trying an official 4.3 :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Nope, the stock ROM you have now won't work with the new partition layout. Having said that, the most recent RUU (version .4) is pretty stable as it is, so there isn't really a reason not to upgrade.

I just checked out the forums for your phone. It seems as though you didn't get the official Sense 5 update from HTC. This is not something that can be changed by any dev. There isn't much that you can do at all, sorry to say.

There really isn't much left for HTC to stabilize. I can tell you from experience that the new Sense 5 release is near perfect. The minor issues might not be noticeable, depending on your use of the device. And for the record, I don't spend longer than a day on a rom that is buggy. I've been using Sense 5 since HTC reason it the first time, and that says a lot for me.

You must use the custom Twrp from Captain's stock 4.3 thread. It has been modified to work on the new layout. Read his thread for more information on flashing roms though that Twrp, (somewhat tempermental). Also I would recommend s-off prior to ruu. You won't have to relock your bootloader to use the ruu if you are s-off. Just some helpful hints.
