For Android File Host, I read this:

It is a no way for me to upload the files selectively for each device, I need a day behind my screen to update 80 devices

About xdafileserv: I see now

On main page, I was thinking we can only have folders with device name

Now I see there is a Developer folder with names/folders under it

Could be a reliable alternative

Do they cope well with bandwidth?
[Android Software Development] Phil3759:
Always pray before :D

But why do you care, you have fastboot
[Android Software Development] tdhite:
Might sound nuts -- but you should check out 000WebHost. It's free (I use it for a bunch of hosting operations I need (though not commercial sites -- need provisioned IOPS for those!)). You get 1.5Gig of space and 100GBytes transfer per month. Supports FTP (I use lftp to mirror-sync everything I do automatically). I can help with that if you want.

adding: Oh, and if you need a domain -- I'll help you get you a free one via DynDNS (I have a bunch of free ones that I get forever -- grandfathered in to the system from *long* ago purchases).
[Android Software Development] titanic_fanatic:
My download speeds were always between 1-1.5/MBps consistently and I never had the server go down on me. Actually, that's why I switched from dev host, I hated dev host cause they went down too much. I ran out of space though on xdafileserver.nl, not sure if they've increased the amount of space on their server and I'm not sure of the amount of space you get but it had only just been started when I signed up.
[Android Software Development] Alberto96:
No problems for bandwidth :) I upload many roms and kernels on it and no one said that it was slow. FTP access is also fast. For me it is the best alternative. :cool:

P.S. : Also no space limit.
[Android Software Development] Phil3759:
Ok

Many thanks to all of you

I actually need some Gb of space

Just this last update is 1 Gb to upload and I update often

Users like to keep a few versions back online to revert when needed

devhost seems to accept again uploading files, at least it seems, will see if it stops in the middle like most of the time. They upload in a block, so if it fails at 99%, you loose all your 160 files already uploaded :crying:

At least I have some time to look at an alternative

I will try to contact xdafileserv maintainer and see what he proposes

Having ftp is a big plus to quickly upload and organize files

PhilZ Touch 6

Build version: 6.07.9 - HTC One (cm_m7spr)

CWM Base version: v6.0.4.5

Compiled Dec 28 2013 at 09:23:51

I'll let you know if I see anything. Flashing a lot of things tomorrow due to recent development work on some mods and apps.

Thanks so much.
[Android Software Development] NoSpamDan:
Great news! Thank you for the late Christmas present!
[Android Software Development] tdhite:
Started early. Only problem I've run into is that Toggle Screen no longer revives the screen. Either that or it takes *forever* to do so and I give up waiting. Screen dim/timout does work and revive on a key press, but I got used to using the touch/move to toggle on/off. No longer can use that since screen doesn't come back. I turned off the gesture for that: :(.

bummer -- love that trick.

For the record: Sprint HTC One (m7spr).

Wondering if I can get a touch version built for my device. (ZTE Awe)

As far as I can tell, I've got CWM 6.0.4.5 pretty stable, save for the USB Mass storage not mounting.

Any tips in that regards are helpful.

Here's the android_device_zte_nex repo: https://github.com/zte8930/android_device_zte_nex/tree/cm-11

[MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION] 2 questions

I have downloaded the aroma file manager but philz says it cannot find it. Where should I place the .zip so that philz can find it?

My kernel is compiled with NTFS and exfat support as =y, does it have to be a module for your recovery to find it, or can it find it using the /dev nodes?
[Android Software Development] Phil3759:
you must have a custom minivold too
[Android Software Development] shoey63:
Toggle screen anomaly - any gesture can be set, and used to toggle off, but none work to toggle on again. Need to use power button.

Just wondering if you are still supporting d2att. I see there hasn't been a new release for it for a month now
[Android Software Development] Phil3759:
It was updated, read OP

Some devices cannot toggle screen on with touch while it is off

The kernel is the cause as touch driver seems to be shut with screen

Galaxy S4 is same

Not sure where in kernel sources we can modify this
[Android Software Development] JamFan05:
"It was updated, read OP"

So sorry, I was checking the dev host link. I see these are on mediafire. Thanks your hard work on this, its a really nice recovery
[Android Software Development] shoey63:
Hmm.... A couple of Yuga devs use a "double tap to wake" feature in their kernels. Not sure if it is implemented in Ramdisk or kernel itself. But perhaps that holds the key;) I'll look into it....
[Android Software Development] danarama:
Hi [MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION]

Is there any way to suppress the low space warning when taking a nandroid via Extended Commands? Or to change the value it reports as "low space"?

On the Nexus 5, I get this warning even when I have 3.5 GB free - which is enough space for my job. The problem comes when I am running a custom job whilst I sleep using extended commands, in that it asks if I want to continue with the job, but don't realise until I wake up, meaning my job didn't happen.

Can you think of any way around this please?
[Android Software Development] tdhite:
The touch is still active when the screen is toggled off -- even get all the vibe feedback. Just the screen won't turn back on. In fact, I can use the interface since I know exactly where the softkeys are, navigate to 'reboot' and reboot the phone while the screen is toggled off (using toggle/move for me, but apparently other gestures act the same -- makes sense).

So something seems to have changed between the prior version and this -- it worked in -8, just broke in -9.

It's not a huge emergency -- can just turn the toggle off of any gesture, but it's still a cool feature.
[Android Software Development] Phil3759:
Can you post a log please

Why is it warning you with 3.5 Gb

Two possibilities:

- it is less than 3% free space: impossible with 3.2Gb free

- your data to backup exceeds free space

- there is a bug

In any case, at 3.2Gb you are very low on space and your backup could end up corrupted without you notice

I can look at a toggle or a timeout, not sure about second option how easy is it without adding too many code everywhere

Usually it is a kernel issue that cannot turn on screen back using blank function

What device is causing you the problem
[Android Software Development] :
Thanks for not answering either of my questions. Where do I put the aroma file manager zip?

Also, I'm assuming the builds *you* put out have your modified Vold. I develop for apexqtmo and I can merge stuff to d2 if need be. What do I need to do to enable ntfs and exfat support? I am currently building such support for apexqtmo as =y but I've looked at your code and you don't seem to account for that. The use of modules is going away, can your Vold handle ntfs and exfat as =y?
[Android Software Development] tdhite:
m7spr -- you must have changed kernels, I guess, as I mentioned the prior release of the recovery worked flawlessly turning the screen back on.
[Android Software Development] Phil3759:
That's annoying as I did not change kernel. Still same prebuilt one to be able to provide you exfat support through kernel modules

Did you update firmware? Most HTC devices rely on drivers from main ROM
[Android Software Development] danarama:
I've cleared some data so it wont happen again.

Backup worked once I said yes at prompt. It was 2.25 GB (highest compression) but last_ log thought it was going to be over 3GB.

Aldo log shows it needed only 15MB Less than the free space available...

I'll attach a log in a sec (need browser not tapatalk)

Edit... log attached

Would some be willing to comment on the /persist directory & the fact that it can be formatted but not backed up?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2589790
[Android Software Development] Phil3759:
Actually, I use very approximative code

On backup: I do not reduce estimated backup size to account for compression as we do not know how much it will be

On restore, to reduce display bugs, I increment archive size by 45% to estimate total data to restore

For these type of auto backup jobs, I advise what you did: ensure you have enough free space

I will see the best alternative to fix your issue: disable on boot scripts, user toggle, timeout prompt...

Edit: checked log, nothing abnormal there!
[Android Software Development] danarama:
Yep, this I understand and not suggesting anything abnormal however, I would like if possible to be able to either suppress this prompt or be able to answer "yes" via extended command.

You think this is possible?

I understand why the need for prompt but some users (me ;) ) want to manage free space ourselves ;)

New PhilZ Touch allow you to add up to 5 custom partitions to fstab

Someone has just to repack it properly though

CWM doesn't support backup/restore of all partitions.

Actually, these are handled by PhilZ Touch

/boot
/recovery
/data
/datadata
/sd-ext
/system
/preload
/cache
/modem
/radio
/efs
/misc
/wimax

/efs, /radio and /modem can be backed up and restored in raw mode too

I also added /extra_part1 to /extra_part5 partitions support when added in recovery.fstab, no need to recompile recovery, just repack it

Another way is to rename your mountpoint to a non used one if you understand a little the fstab things (avoid using special partitions like modem, radio, efs, wimax, datadata, and sd-ext)
[Android Software Development] Phil3759:
Backing up when no space is left will end up with a corrupted backup you see only in logs

I will look at the count time timer or a toggle
[Android Software Development] danarama:
Thanks.

Yes I know with no free space will get corrupt back up image.

My problem is backup takes up 2.25 GB space. I have 3.5 GB free. I know I have enough free space (1.25 GB extra)... my backups happen automatically whilst I sleep. Warning prevents backup even though I have much more space available than I need.

I have scripts in place to keep my directories tidy and clean but on a device with only 12 GB usable space, keeping 4 GB free for a 2 GB Backup isn't feasible for me.

Toggle would be nice if possible however I imagine I am the only person this is a problem for so I doubt adding a toggle would be a reasonable use of your time

Was just hoping there was already a way to circumvent the prompt.

Can you pass on any insight on why /presist is not one of them?

[Android Software Development] tdhite:
Actually, I did upgrade the firmware, but long before I upgraded PhilZ. I ran on the latest firmware on the previous PhilZ and the screen worked as advertised (on and off, no problem).

It's interesting, then, if you did not change kernels. Hmmmm... I'm half tempted to clear /cache -- think? Dunno quite why that'd be at issue, but it's all I can think of.

[Android Software Development] adlerrot:
reboot after Data or cache wipe

Okay I have been through most of the posts and cannot find a mention of this issue.

I have installed the latest version of Philz for the vzw note 2. (2013/11/30) Works great I am up and running on new 4.3 rom.

however, When you do any wipe, complete for new rom or just data or reset or cache or delvik the phone reboots as soon as the wipe is finished. Depending on where you are you have to reboot again into recovery to install or rewipe. I don't remember this happening with either CWM or Twerp. Is the reboot after wipe fixable or is this on purpose?

Thanks for all the great work it is always appreciated.

Problem with e970 Build - philz_touch_6.07.9-e970.zip

I was working on updating to try CM11 again tonight and found this recovery. So far I like it, but I need to report a problem with the current e970 build. When trying to flash this from sk8erwitskil's CWM I encountered a error status 6.

From what I could find status 6 is a formatting/syntax problem with a script file. I tracked the problem down to line 20 of updater-script. It has a extra abort() that result in the parentheses closing early.

Line 20 should read as follows

getprop("ro.product.device") == "jeebusc" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "jeebusc" ||

Repack this change in the zip and the flash works fine. Thanks for an updated recovery!
[Android Software Development] Phil3759:
Maybe the abort() command is not recognized by older cwm?
[Android Software Development] RodneyMcKay:
No this was an extra abort(), it was in the middle of the long list of deviceid or statements. Down a few more lines was the same abort text that properly closed the assert()

[Android Software Development] Joshmccullough:
Quick semi-related/off-topic question:

Loving PhilZ recovery, but I was a bad devotee......I dl'd ROM Manager, and went to rename a backup, which ended up corrupting it somehow and made it not show up at all in the clockworkmod backup folder. Now, Root Browser shows that the memory is used (leading me to believe that the backup file is still there just not visible), but I can't figure out how I'd get rid of the corrupted data.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to free up that used space? I can't find a file(s) to delete, either in Root Browser or by using the 'Free Unused Backup Data' option which didn't seem to change the available memory at all.

I've backed up a lot of stuff off my phone, I'm considering doing a factory reset and then starting over......anyone think this would fix the problem, or have any other suggestions? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

EDIT: Went ahead and tried the data/factory reset option in PhilZ, didn't seem to do the trick, not as comprehensive a wipe as I'd have figured and I keep getting an 'Unfortunately Phone Has Stopped' message on reboot, which I'm sure I can dig my way out of. Maybe I'll need to factory reset the phone through the ROM instead........
[Android Software Development] CloggieUK:
Have you tried the app "Diskusage" from the playstore ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage )? You can exactly see where the data is used (and even delete from the app).

[Android Software Development] danarama:
Cwm (therefore probably ROM manager) by default backs up to /data/media/clockworkmod instead of a more accurate /data/media/0/clockworkmod (from 4.2 onward).
