Beware! Possible display killer: TWRP!

Hmmm....

Just took a backup and tried to install official CM 10.1 but it failed with "error 7" so decided to restore my phone.

Since I'm at work now I had to leave my phone while it was restoring, and when I got back to it the process was finnished.

Rebooted my phone and saw to my horror that the vertical lines were still there, from boot, to home screen and apps!

Hopefully I have not caused permanent damage to my display but for now the screen also seem to flicker ever so slightly in darker parts.

/StigB

ps: BTW, this is in no way meant to critisize gordon0001's gbootmenu/twrp, just a warning so none repeat my mistake! :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] gordon0001:
thats weird. GBootMenu isnt running when cwm/twrp runs and also i didnt change any graphics code.

is your display now permanentely damaged? i would contact lg.

Can I install this on any device?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] gordon0001:
No.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] gordon0001:
just tested it now with running twrp a while and now i have the same damage to my display. half of my display is screwed up. no clue why, but it has something to do with twrp itself.

edit: display now 100% functionally again

download removed and people please uninstall this until i figure out whats causing this.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] stigb1974:
For me the problem seems to be solved by running https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codefortravel.amoled_screen_burn_in at full display brightness for little more than one hour now. :)

Some image persistence/semi burn-in that luckily wasn't permanent for me.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] gordon0001:
yea i used display tester to fix it.

one question to you: did u have screen timeout set? (like 60 seconds without doing anything screen goes black)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] stigb1974:
Yes, and also had the phone connected to my computers USB for power as battery was dipping below 50%
[LG Optimus 4X HD] gordon0001:
thanks for the informations and im very sorry for the problems. i'll try to fix that bug (definetely in twrp. even only using the official twrp sources without gbootmenu causes that damage) and i'll release a new version when im sure its fixed.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] exFAT:
Just as a fyi, same half screen glitch bug appears when using official CM nightly's kernel offline charging.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] gordon0001:
i assume its generally lg's jb kernel that causes these problems. alot of other users do have problems with the display

If I install this and type "reboot bootloader" in a terminal emulator, will my phone reboot into GBootMenu?

And can I flash the latest CWM Touch on top of this, or will you include that in your update?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Fladder72:
This is no "Bootloader", just a Recovery... (See 1st Posting from OP and Title...)

GBootMenu is a 2in1 Recovery, containing TWRP an CWM.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Fladder72:
Don't work for me...

But I've found this under the scripts from "Rom Manager":

rm /cache/recovery/command ; echo 'boot-recovery' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 count=13 ; reboot ;

I'm using this in a shell script to boot direct into CWM Recovery...

I appreciated this tool, but will this put instead of "software update" menu?

How to restore it back?

.......

Ok thanks anyway i resolved, i just forgot to take off the battery :/
[LG Optimus 4X HD] gordon0001:
sorry guys for breaking my promises. its just i dont have alot of time to work on it.

but i did work alot on it. recoded alot of things to eleminate AOSP dependencies cause i didnt like them (its coded in C, not coded well, and not my style of coding). so i replaced most of them with my own C++ classes that fits my need. currently im implementing touch screen controls which is quite difficult.

my goal is not to just build a bootmenu.. my goal is to build a custom recovery for our device thats not based on AOSP code like cwm or twrp but that needs time. so please be patient. im just a single person, but i really enjoy the time working on it.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] gordon0001:
i was finally able to reproduce the situation where the display gets ****ed up and i got it fixed

it was indeed the twrp display timeout. it doesnt properly shutdown the display, and also twrp redraws the GUI on screen when its not needed. that causes to heat up the device and eats battery.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] saenta:
Thanks that's awesome news!

so what else is on your todo till next release? :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] gordon0001:
Well... I have alot on my TO-DO list and some things are not easy to implement and I do not have much free time and also I'm really a lazy guy..

I did not work on GBootMenu itself since a few weeks.

I wanted first to eliminate the critical display harm bug before I continue to work on the project,

because I don't want to share my work that could possible break our devices.

But now I'm pretty sure I fixed the bug.

I was using TWRP for more than a month and everything seems to be fine.

Currently I'm working on improving TWRP for our device for the best experience to provide a working alternative to CWM.

It will be released on a seperate thread.

You may ask why I do work on TWRP instead of GBootMenu..

The answer is, it's a part of GBootMenu that allows booting into TWRP so the work had to be done.

And I decided to build a customized kernel based on LGE/CM kernel source specially designed for recovery use.

It excludes drivers and hardware implementation that are not used by the recovery system.

This speeds up everything cause it doesn't initialize hardware anymore that's not needed for the recovery like sound, bluetooth, nfc and more.

This reduces the kernel image from 4.8MB, at the time of this posting, to 1.9MB.

Current Changelogs:

TWRP:

Kernel:

GBootMenu:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tool_king:
[MENTION=5054038]gordon0001[/MENTION]:

How is the development of the next version of GBootmenu going on? I am really looking forward to see TWRP 2.5.0.0 and CWM 6.0.3.1 in just one menu.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] gordon0001:
I'm still working on implementing touch screen support.

The TODO list for this is:

Single touch support (it's not needed for the 4X HD, but for other devices which do not have multi touch)

Multi touch support (the 4X HD uses the multi touch protocol which supports to use up to 10 fingers at once)

When the touch screen implementation is done I'm going to recode the menu for touch use.

But before I start working on things I listed above I need to solve a problem I found yesterday with booting Clockworkmod Touch 6.0.3.2. I run CWM/TWRP directly from GBootMenu with replacing CWM/TWRP's ramdisk with the current one from GBootMenu. That worked fine but now it seems there are some incompatibilities. No surprise for me cause it's a dirty way to do this and I never liked it. Now I'm trying to add kexec support to the kernel that allows me to start a new instance of the kernel with a custom ramdisk I can specify to boot the original CWM/TWRP ramdisk.

What's happening when booting into recovery:

My dirty way: bootloader --> kernel --> ramdisk --> GBootMenu --> Select to boot into CWM/TWRP --> CWM/TWRP

launched

kexec way: bootloader --> kernel --> ramdisk --> GBootMenu --> Select to boot into CWM/TWRP --> reload kernel into ram --> reboot to kernel with bypassing bootloader --> CWM/TWRP ramdisk --> CWM/TWRP

booted

- GBootMenu isn't loaded/present
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tool_king:
Seems to be a lot of work left, so far. I hope you can solve the issues soon. Thanks for your hard work, mate!

[Vega General] DavidT3:
I've been reading about the new Ubuntu Touch mobile OS, and apparently the only base it requires to port it to a new device is CM10.1. Courtesy of our excellent Advent Vega developers we have a functional CM10.1 build, and I was wondering if anyone had considered using it to port Ubuntu touch to our device, it seems to me like it would be a good match.
[Vega General] scanno:
We already have a booting Ubuntu Touch build. The most active development is happening on tabletroms for the Advent Vega. Actually I am running Ubuntu Touch on my PoV at the moment. Ubuntu Touch is just a preview at the moment and not a fully developed os . Canonical still has a lot of work to do before this can be of any real use.

Hi ...

there is a difference between applications and processes. the first type you close and you can see on running programs. while the 2nd type is system processes ... windows control their start and end. closing any of them may cause a system crash.

well in a multitasking envioment

a program is 1 process which can have many threads

imho then if i dont do a softreset my xda get slower and slower

a softreset solve this problem just like that
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Codenix:
If you're not using a task manager of some sort (I use Resco), the easiest and way to close an app is to use the on-screen keyboard (if the app lets you open the keyboard that is :wink: .) Simply kit Ctrl+Q, just like the Windows shortcut!

Some other handy PPC shortcuts are;

Ctrl+C (copy), Ctrl+V (paste), Ctrl+X (Cut), Ctrl+A (Select all), Shift+tap (select multiple adjacent items), Ctrl+tap (select multiple items).
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] partridge:
Hi.

Isn't this non-closing of programs a bit of a bug? I can see how PPC might want to leave commonly used apps in memory instead of actually quitting them (i.e. Contacts), but to be honest it doesn't exactly take that long to start them up from scratch.

I'm used to (from desktop win) pressing the X in the top-right corner and the program actually closing, or at least going to the tasktray (where you can see it to quit it).

I've only had my XDA-II for a week, and I'm scared that I've run up a massive bill already because of this prob, but will have to wait to find out -

Basically I used the Terminal Services Client to connect to my PC at home whilst at work. I only did this for about 30 seconds, after which I pressed the X at the top right corner. After about 4 hours or so I got home and looked at the screen an there was an error dialog coming from the supposedly closed Terminal Services Client! So the TSC might have been downloading thru GPRS for 4 hours!

I call that a bug. I reproduced it again at home. I have Rescoe task monitor and I can see TSC staying around after I've closed it. I'm now waiting to see what appears on my bill. Damned if I'm paying for it tho...

No doubt I'm the only person who has had this prob... :?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] bodstrup:
Not a bug, a feature

Partridge, it is not a bug, it's how Pocket PC's have been working at least for PPC 2002 and PPC 2003.

It is well known in the PPC community and there are a number of fixes.

I would strongly suggest that the first application you purchase are GPRS Monitor from SPB.

It gives you a small icon on the top line where you can see your GPRS traffic, an a Today plug-in that lists the amount of MB and the cost of the day's session. Using this, you will quickly notice if some application is using GPRS behind your back.

Regards

Michael
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] partridge:
Thanks for the reply and advice.

Admittedly I'm brand new to this PPC game.

I still think its a bit naff that PPC's do this.

I expect a program thats expensive to run in terms of network bandwidth (and therefore money), to close when I press the X button. I guess thats just me...

Thanks anyway :)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdv11:
Quick questions, and forgive me if it is completely noob. First off, will the international unlocked M7 work on US ATT? ANd by work, I mean voice, text, HSPA+, and LTE all functional? And if so, other than being unlocked, is there any specific advantages in purchasing an International one vs buying an ATT one outright on no contract?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawlgsx:
All you will get is an unlocked device, a much higher premium to pay, and no LTE on AT&T.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdv11:
I see. From reading around here a bit, I was under the impression that if I got a carrier version, I wouldnt be able to load neat roms and such due to the locked bootloader. So, in order to have any freedom to customize and retain LTE, I'd have to wait for the dev version that they are releasing?

Forgive me, Im trying to do away with years of iOS, and figure out more of the Android game!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawlgsx:
It will not make a difference if you buy the AT&T version or the Dev version really. The only difference between the 2 is that the Dev version is unlocked (carrier and bootloader) and (shouldn't) have the AT&T Bloatware. Neither is S-OFF ready from HTC.

You will be able to load custom roms in due time on any of these phones, I wouldn't worry.

What I still don't know is what AT&T is going to charge for an off-contract price. Best Buy's off contract price is higher than the Dev Version, but I suspect at AT&T it will be less. Hopefully we can find out today.

Either way the developer edition is only going to be offered in Silver so that rules it out for me anyway :).
