I don't think it's really needed. On Ics and above roms, there are md5 and timestamp checks to regenerate dalvik cache AFAIK. Thanks for the report though.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Phil3759:
My pc died. Need time upgrading to new parts. Can you answer my last question about recovery.fstab?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Nihar.G:
Yes. '/sdcard' is set to vfat.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Phil3759:
As I thought.

If set to auto it will fix everything. It is only a repack
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Nihar.G:
I unpacked the latest recovery image and in recovery.fstab, sdcard is set to auto only. Did you already change it? :confused:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Phil3759:
No, have no pc

Need a log and description of what happens when you try to format sdcard
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Nihar.G:
The problem is absence of "Partition SD Card" option and not formatting. :\
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Phil3759:
It is a bug

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] abhi_qwerty:
Cannot mount sd-ext4 !!!

and whenever I clean everything to install a new ROM (using the option in wipedata/factory reset) it convets my ext4 partition to ext3..

Any help??
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Boldimore:
I am using sd-ext3 on my partitioned SD card.

ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2422515

Recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2265055

Mount app: Mount2SD

1. I wipe data(factory reset) in the recovery

2. I go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache

3. Inside the settings where you mount your USB storage I format everything

4. I copy the ROM and the gapps onto the SD card(before that I partitioned my sd card 512MB sd-ext3)

5. Then I installed zip from SD card(first ROM then gapps)

6. After setting up my phone I download Mount2SD from Google Play: Mount2SD

7. I go to settings inside mount2sd and install the script then I restart my phone

8. now you got more space(which you can check inside Mount2SD)

NOTE: Inside "System Settings -> Storage" you will notice that if you got many applications installed on your phone that your "Apps" size will be bigger than the actual free internal memory, but don't worry, all the apps are moved to sd-ext3

You can't delete pre-installed apps in this ROM! But anyway, this ROM is fantastic, weekly updates! :)

To update the ROM:

1. Put the newer version onto your SD card

2. Go to recovery and install the ROM ( NOTE: Without wiping data, just install over he previous version!) and restart the device

3. Now go to google play and download Mount2SD again

4. Install the script and restart your phone now

5. Viola, you have an updated version of the ROM and all your apps are working again!

I hope I was clear enough ^^
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] abhi_qwerty:
Thanks for your elaboration, but I just wanted to know that why did the recovery formats my ext4 to ext3, even though it says to support ext4.

Mounting ext4 also fails..

I don't have any problem with ext3 , just playing though and hanged in here at this question .
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Boldimore:
I guess you want to format sd-ext as ext4, but when you select ext4 it formats ext3?

It would be helpful if you could tell us from where are you reading the info that your sd-ext is in ext3 and not in ext4 format?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Nihar.G:
That definitely shouldn't happen. A recovery log would be appreciated.

Advance > Report Error. (After formatting ofc)

copy /sdcard/clockwordmod/philz-recovery.log and paste here or pastebin.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] abhi_qwerty:
Here is the recovery log..

I have selected to create a sdext of ext4.

The operation formatted my whole sdcard but now also an ext3 of 976MB is created (no luck for ext4:().
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] abhi_qwerty:
Minitool Partition wizard....
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Phil3759:
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 512B 14.9GB 14.9GB primary fat32 lba
2 14.9GB 15.9GB 1024MB primary ext4

From recovery log

Maybe the issue is with tune2fs upgrading ext2 to ext4 or the kernel or the tool you use to ensure it is ext4?

Recovery see it as ext4
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] abhi_qwerty:
I use Minitool Partition Wizard to check the file system.

I think the support of ext4 partition is hardware specific for our pico, I have no luck for the new OC method (PLL2) because it uses ext4 file system.

To confirm it,

1. I formatted my whole sdcard (deleted the sdext too)

2. Re- partitioned (16GB class 10) it to 1.2GB ext4 (Using Minitool...)

3. Copied the zips required for MiniCM9 to sdcard.

4. Booted into the recovery (philz 5.15.0)

5. Wipe data/Factory Reset >> CLEAN TO INSTALL NEW ROM

6. Flashed the required ZIPs.

7. Rebooted the system

8. after everything was stable switched off my phone

9. Took out sdcard and plugged into my PC.

10. Opened minitool partition wizard

11. Voilla, ext4 was converted to ext3.

12. Deleted the ext3 partition

13. Re-created ext4 partition.

14. Safely removed sdcard and plugged it into my phone.

15. MiniCM9 booted successfully.

16. Installed int2ext+ memory script, rebooted the phone and it strucked at bootscreen for an hour..

17. Took out the the battery, reinserted it and booted into recovery.

18. Mount and storage >> format sdext

19. Reboot

20. Successfully booted...

21. And internal memory was seen increased to 1.4GB in setting/Apps

22. Repeated the steps 8 to 10.

23. It was again ext3

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Below is the screenshot taken today after creating sdext from within the recovery (the process formatted my whole sdcard(thank god I have backup) and I have uploaded the recovery log in previous post)...

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Nihar.G:
Yes, you can flash back yannous recovery later if you want. And you cant really hard brick pico as long as your bootloader is intact.

good work bro...

well done..!!!!

P.S: ur 450th thanking person...:p
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] chikanchilly:
But isn't that gonna beef up the size of recovery. It wouldn't fit in our recovery partition. Im afraid you knew that already but, just reminding. But, if the phone is connected to the charger and it is in recovery, it will charge right? Even though it doesn't show..

Sent from my microwave who was doing crack in my back yard :/
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Minimilised_MR:
@Phil3759 I want to flash this recovery but the thing that stops me is a minor thing but that's not your recovery problem I wanted to know that if the Phone is off and we connect the Charging/Data Cable the phone automatically boot into recovery ?? I have a broken power button so I'm worried if it doesn't then it's of no use to me. But TWRP Boots like this :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Sachin Thomas:
This is expected behavior as charging animation is shown through recovery on stock ROM. Why do you worry when this recovery supports screen timeout?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Minimilised_MR:
Well my Question was different. :(

Try one thing for me

- Pull out your battery

- Re-insert it.

- Connect Charger

- See if it boots into recovery or not? :)

Let me know ASAP!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Sachin Thomas:
Yes, it reboots into recovery and most likely this behavior is defined in the bootloader itself
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Minimilised_MR:
Without going into bootloader right? :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Sachin Thomas:
It goes into bootloader first and when the bootloader "sees" that the phone is being charged it boots into recovery, to show the charging animation. But custom recoveries do not have a charging animation so it stays on the recovery menu
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Nihar.G:
This is not a recovery problem. It has been discussed several times now. Please don't go off topic.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] joni2012:
twrp have the last version, this recovery worth? Get to the top of the peak htc twrp but had to copy the different divisions and other content truth, that has this feature or not.

You will get an update as soon as I release the final version. I did not compile it for other phones than mine, still fixing small cosmetic things, but should be released in next days

It will improve some nandroid operations for your phone as it is based on yaffs2. It should allow cancel nandroid and dim screen during nandroid operations
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Nihar.G:
Update

Hello guys, Here's a new version of Recovery:

Download : v5.03.0 : http://d-h.st/sHm

Changelog from previous versions:
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
Latest version :good: :good: ..

Apart from the capacitive touch buttons and derped offline charging.. . everything is as perfect as it can be .. nice work :)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Phil3759:
What issue with capacitive buttons?

Can you describe it clearly?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
A/single touch to the capacitive buttons causes multiple scrolls in the list.. As opposed to single scroll which is expected.. For eg If I press the home button once it registers a whole scroll from bottom to top I.e. if I am at the power off option.. If press the home button it scrolls up across all the options from bottom to top to return to power off .. Hope I could explain it well

Edit OK its random.. Not full scrolls.. I.e. it returns back to power off sometimes.. Sometimes it reaches only upto reboot system or install zip.. As opposed to what is expected I.e. philz settings

One more issue I am having can somebody confirm ? is with mounting USB storage. I freshly compiled a ROM but the zip doesnt get copied properly. . I get a bad zip error a lot of the times.. I did eject from my compute before unmounting in recovery but still am getting a bad zip error. in the end I used sideload which works perfectly..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Nihar.G:
Offline charging isn't an issue with recovery. Our phone is programmed to go to recovery when plugged in while switched off.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Minimilised_MR:
And I think that's a good thing for people who have broken power button.:cool:;)

Regards, MR.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Phil3759:
Interesting

I will release a debug version to spot what's going on there

Can you try meanwhile to disable key repeat in GUI settings and see if it fixes the issue?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Nihar.G:
Use sideload.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Nihar.G:
No.. issue still there. Disabling key repeat din't work. Also, I have spotted in this latest version, sometimes (VERY VERY Rarely) when you try to select some menu item, the item below it gets selected. This keeps happening until u lift your finger from screen for 2-3 seconds and try again.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Phil3759:
erroneous key down: Yes, it was reported in HTC One X yesterday and only happens when in double tap on highlight only modes

I am working on it right now. Figured the cause, but still trying a remedy

Capacitive keys issue: seems I will need a debug code for the capacitive buttons

One question: do they overlap the virtual buttons that come with recovery and that you can hide? Normally, recovery virtual buttons should be just above your device capacitive keys. If not, it means the capacitive area is included in screen res returned by driver and my code doesn't support it yet
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] 7alvi:
One bug report...though not that problematic...ive set custom colors for text and stuff and all those settings seems to reset itself when i 'Wipe clean to install a new rom' and when i boot in recovery from bootloader...doesnt happen when i reboot in recovery..! Not big bug though :p

Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Phil3759:
I just fixed the touch issue in double tap and highlight only modes

Will release an update + debug mode to figure out the issue with capacitive buttons

But if anyone can answer my question above about that...

Where do you think recovery record its settings?

If you make a backup, it will be restored on reboot whenever you wipe

You can even disable the prompt and have it restore settings automatically

Dig into settings a bit please
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Pee_kee:
Back-up / Restore

am using a JB based rom.. I backed it up once.. Restored.. but user apps didn't restored.. but its memory was consuming.. When I manually installed apps then its custome settings was there.. :-/
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Nihar.G:
Another issue I would like to report, is that, when you wipe data, the recovery kind of restarts. This issue was there in Normal CWM 6.0.3.0 I was using before this recovery as well. So it might be some error from CWM code itself.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] 7alvi:
I think thats a feature to reboot recovery before installing a new rom..i find it conveniet! :P

Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Phil3759:
It shouldn't normally. Is it a full reboot or quick gui restart (often a segfault) ?

Also can you answer above question about virtual buttons location on screen ?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Nihar.G:
Not a full reboot. So I guess, GUI restart.

And no, recovery virtual buttons don't overlap with device capacitive keys.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Phil3759:
The yaffs2 code is segfaulting or causing a memory overload then. After gui restart, can you post a log. It will contain before and after crash so we can see if something was logged. Else, i will add debug code to the concerned functions to see what's wrong

That part is not modified by me at all by the way
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Nihar.G:
Yeah, as I said, it exists in normal CWM since 6.0.3.0 version as well. I'll give logs soon.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Phil3759:
Issue is probably in one of these:

https://github.com/PhilZ-cwm6/philz_touch_cwm6/blob/cm-10.1/mtdutils/mtdutils.c

mtd_write_partition(...)
mtd_erase_blocks(...)
and less probably mtd_write_close(...)

I can try to add some tracing logs there to see what happens and when the gui crashes or if you have the patience do it by adding some LOGI("step_01\n") lines between sensitive parts (malloc, calling write_block(...) with buffer...) and compile the source

Then we can limit it to where it hangs as I have no courage to start reading that part when I have no yaffs2 thing in my hands to test
