Is it same with other recoveries?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] franzyroy:
You've answered your question, due to the firmware.

Now, stop your requisitory at the ask of Phil3759!

9.25 or 9.11 GB, what matter?

---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------

Yeah! I've 9.13 GB with TWRP.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] morris2003:
After restoring the correct size of the partition of 9.25 GB (with PIT), if I flash the new firmware, without doing any formatting from the recovery (from menu mount --> format), the size remain 9.25 gb.

If I format from recovery, the dimension of internal partition change, becomes 9,11gb or 9,09gb (changes from time to time).

This thing happen also doing "Clean to install a New Rom".
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Phil3759:
If you only format whole /data or /system, does it happen too?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] morris2003:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] giokou:
Hi Phil.

I can't successfully flash the recovery no matter what version I choose.

I am on stock 4.4.2 (UFNC4) rooted with CF-Autoroot.

Even if I untick the auto-reset and try the 3key combo, the device doesn't go to recovery.

It reboots to main system and if I try again after I switch it off, to go to recovery it doesn't go, but it reboots to main system. I have no recovery at all!!

Please help.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] franzyroy:
Did you try only with "volume + and power" buttons until the phone displays the 2 line to the top left? After, you've to release the buttons.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] giokou:
Thanks mate!

That was it!

I didn't know that fact, it has never happened to me before.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Riskytwin:
I have one of the last Philz recovery and my total internal memory is 9,25 Gb no 9,13 nor 9,11 though I haven't formatted my device from recovery.

Try to help Phil for the good things what he's done. Stop criticizing him all the time. Every problem you have, you always put crap on Philz's recovery instead of investigating the real reason which normally has nothing to do with his great job, and I'm not flattering him!

Question . I like to try the f2fs feature and toggle it from ext4 to f2fs. Does it now format all in f2fs instead of ext4 ? Where can i recheck it ?

Solved it. Did press it by mistake twice. Problem solved.

Just checked the system with diskinfo. It says data is still on ext4 . how can i format it on f2fs ?

I also dont have the option to choose ext4 or f2fs like the others
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Phil3759:
there is a little bug I found: /data cannot be formatted to f2fs for now

I am fixing it soon
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] störte:
Thanks for the quick reply
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Phil3759:
6.43.4 (01.06.2014)

f2fs/ext4 conversion is now properly implemented for /data

It is now possible to migrate your nandroid backups between f2fs and ext4

This version also restores possibility to partition external sd and use it as second data path (sd-ext)

A feature missing since near a year now, for the old aficionados ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] störte:
Hi

I just flash the latest Recovery from today. I still dont have the option to flash data to f2fs. In all others i can choose ext4 or f2fs
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Phil3759:
You cannot just format a folder!!

You need to format whole partition, that is /data AND /data/media

Anyway... Hoping and thinking [MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION] would not mind, I uploaded the latest build available (6.43.4, right?) in .zip format here, so you flashaholics can rest :silly:.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] franzyroy:
[MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION]

One question. I would like to know how is mounted the sdcard in your recovery? My ask because, when I want to see sdcard info with Aroma and your recovery, result is obsolet. While with Aroma and TWRP, it's good.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Technical:
Thanks. Downloaded like a charm. Would it be possible to do it with the ODIN file (philz_touch_6.43.6-jflte.tar.md5) Thanks.

After trying through Dolphin, CM and S-Browser, I decided to install Firefox Beta ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox_beta) and It was able to satisfy my request at first time, standing at its reviews is the most compatible..

Bit confused:

- In http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition there is I9500 but no I9505 folder

- In 9505 folder latest version is 6.41 and not 6.43

¿How do I get the latest version for I9505?

Thank you

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] cairel:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Nimueh:
You need to navigate to the jflte folder, that's for several devices including i9505 ;)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andreasy:
Any way to convert all my partitions to f2fs without format? I usually avoid full wipe to install my roms so that would save me time.

Also, would it be fine to just convert the system and cache partition to f2fs and leave the rest as is? Again this is due to no full wipe.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Phil3759:
This has no sense

Little if no benefits to not migrate /data

You can backup/restore to migrate data cleanly

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andreasy:
Thanks for the tip. I thought that backup/restore would also transfer fs or mess things up but if that's the case I'll do it that way.

[MENTION=643734]Philz[/MENTION].... is there nothing can be done about the deadly slow (like less than a 100 kB/s) write speed when mounting external SD from recovery?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] xdeal:
On mine, the speed is exactly 355 kb/s (which still be slow)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Gloris:
so...if we want to try f2fs....we need to first do backup of each section (system, cache, data blah blah blah), then toggle f2fs enabled, then format each section, then restore?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Phil3759:
imagine you want to format your usb key or hard disk?

well, it is the same thing
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Gloris:
yeah, sorry wasn't trying to sound rude or anything, just confirming the steps we take :)

::EDIT::

tried it but phone would not boot past the 9505 s$ boot logo. maybe the restore doesn't work restoring to a different fs?

or is it because i'm using stock rom?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Phil3759:
You must also use a kernel supporting f2fs in main rom
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Phil3759:
6.44.8 Update

adds many improvements, mainly a perfect and nice support for adb shell backups:

#backup to /sdcard
adb shell nandroid backup

#restore from a path:
adb shell nandroid restore your/backup/path
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
2 small requests Phil if I may,

1. In the top menu, can you add a "wipe cache+dalvik" option....I never seem to wipe one or the other, always both.

2. In the Install Zip operation, is there any chance that it could default to the location of where the last zip was installed from please.

Thanks,.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] RK:
On this update, when I format /data and /data/media and boot up the phone, the clockworkmod path is /sdcard/0/clockworkmod. is this intended?

Previously it was /sdcard/clockworkmod
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Phil3759:
there is no such paths, except at cyanogenmod world

in latest versions, after full wipe, /sdcard is LINKED TO /data/media/0 instead of /data/media

That's how it should be since android 4.2+ for /data/media devices
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] RK:
I know. I reported because I had data/media/0/0/clockworkmod instead of data/media/0/clockworkmod

This only happened when I formatted the entire SD card (using the "format data and data/media" option).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Rune Walker:
Phil,

I flashed latest version in my I9515 (S4 VE), but the screen stopped responding to touches. Recovery works with the buttons, but no touch screen... This also happened with TWRP and with everything else developed for the the I9505 I tryed in my I9515.

Do you think you could port it to I9515?

Any news about this?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Sorry to quote myself, but I only now noticed the "choose zip from last install folder"

How the hell did I miss that! :silly:

not sure how long that's been in there! :)

One request for this function Phil.

When you go into this option, the Back key, and the +++Go Back+++ functionality will both take you to the top level menu

I was wondering if you can implement a way to go back one level in the directory structure instead.

I realise the back key and +++ go back +++ functionality is inherited in all screens, so perhaps you could add a "back one level" as the first option of this screen?

Cheers

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
You need jflte not jfltexx, as that's now redundant.

There is no bootloader in recovery. That requires a separate flash through odin

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
You should be fine.

/preload was used in JB (eg. on the S2) as the /system partition was not big enough to store all the required apps, and apps were placed in /preload and symlinked back across into /system

As far as I'm aware, its not used (yet) on the S4.

You need to use Odin to flash a customized recovery, then use the 3 keys to boot into it.

Hey,

thanks again for your awesome recovery.

Since you've introduced the passphrase i've got one question which might be a little bit Ot but i guess someone in here might have an answer.

Is there any way to block the Download mode with the button press during boot?

I dont want to block it completely, there should still be the possibility to boot to download mode from recovery and / or from android. But disabling the button combo would kind of make this device useless if it got stolen by someone.

Hi,

I'd like to be able to and activate a theme from a zip in recovery (in this case, one), and also reset the theme of your recovery the same way. This is for my needs in this installer. I tried to find but I do not see, I know you can do it from your recovery, but I would do it from the installer.

Can explain to me how I could do this?

Thanks for your great work!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Phil3759:
- Set your theme

- Chose to backup only theme settings

- Take those settings and overwrite the one in /data/philz-touch/philz-touch_6.ini

Just use a shell script to grep for the entries and overwrite them using some sed/awk command

If too complicated for you, just set your default file and inject it to teh above path with your shell script or a extract_file command
