About 5 minutes, it does take longer than usual.

ya, noticed. but for me it was more like 3 min.? lol
[Nexus 5 Android Development] caribouxda:
wiping data takes ages.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Striatum_bdr:
How can we access backup files from Android? They are totally invisible from file explorers, even if cwm claim they are here when you select an advanced restore.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Exel:
Use a Root Browser..

Look in mnt/shell/clockworkmod :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] casonswag:
Cause of the cache it takes long than usually
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Striatum_bdr:
Even a simple format /system took 5 min here. Should be nearly instant.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] crypticc:
They are stored there so if you wipe data which is /data/media they don't go missing I think
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Striatum_bdr:
Yes was used to external sdcard on my s3 and even before so I looked in the wrong place lol, the clockworkmod folder lol.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Lownita:
Wondering why wiping cache takes so long. It's the same on TWRP which even wipes internal storage occasionally while wiping cache, what's going on :eek:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
Thats something I cant exactly investigate unti lI get my own N5. ;)

has anyone tried using adb while in recovery??? Lloir reported it doesnt work.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Exel:
I used adb sideload.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] gee one:
i've used adb sidleload to root and adb to dump all the partitions, so yeah, I think it works fine. I will note that I used fastboot boot recovery... since I was unlocked but not rooted and wanted to back up things first, but I don't believe this will make a difference if I boot or flash the recovery.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] theesotericone:
Yep. Just used recovery to pull my EFS backup as well as a CWM backup I made because I couldn't find them with MTP. Most likely because I'm an idiot and didn't read this. vvvvvvv

So big thanks there Exel. Coming from a Samsung I always just backed up to my external SD. Makes sense to put them in mnt though. Erasing them by accident would suck.

I also noticed this version of CWM has a new backup format other than dup(which I can't stand) The tar + gzip. Anyone here using it? How is the compression and the reliability of restoring? Since this device has a limited amount of storage I like the idea of zipping the tar even further. If no one is using it I'll give it a shot in a bit and report back.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
wow what version of cwm were you using??? tar has been default for awhile now lol
[Nexus 5 Android Development] theesotericone:
LOL. Maybe I wasn't clear. Yes tar is the default. You can change it to dup and deal with the ginormous blobs folder. Now you can also change it to tar + gzip. So I was asking if any one is using the tar + gzip format.:cool:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Exel:
Interesting, haven't went through the settings, but yeah.. tar + gzip would be pretty awesome. More compression, more free space. But theoretically, more chances of something going wrong.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] theesotericone:
Exactly. It seems Gzip has been around for a while so I'm inclined to hope the format is pretty solid. Guess there is only one way to find out.

EDIT: Looks pretty promising. I made both of these backups from the stock ROM with faux kernel. Here are the backup sizes:

TAR= 1.32GB

TAR + Gzip= 814.24MB

So it does a great job of compressing it further. Now to see if the backup works. lol I'll be back in ten.

EDIT 2: Just got done restoring the tar + gzip and it worked flawlessly. I formatted system/cache/data then rebooted system to the expected bootloop to make sure the formatting took. Then rebooted recovery and restored the tar + gzip. All is up and running just the way it was. NO FC's and nothing broken.

Looks like I just found my new format. playfulgod you might wanna let people know this works well in the OP once some others confirm. We all know not everyone on XDA actually searches or reads the threads. lol
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Exel:
Awesome!

Thanks for reporting this, bud.

Will make a new backup right now with this.

I hit that thanks button for you!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Striatum_bdr:
You should look at Philz Touch Recovery here on xda, it'd quite a wonderful recovery, based on cwm, but really really far away from cwm.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] GrandMstrBud:
Okay there is something wrong with this, when wiping the cache partition it freezes up and then when I boot it than it looks the IMEI and all. I got this also on the other recovery so what's going on with both of these?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] vostok4:
Known bug (issue?). It does take a long time, don't interrupt it. I think you can use fastboot instead to wipe cache quickly (fastboot format cache), but that's completely a guess.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bryanlimy:
Yeah I experienced long wiping time too :confused: :confused:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pathtologos:
I'm on the OTHER recovery and I've read about people losing their baseband all together when wiping cache and dalvik. Just wondering if anyone's had that here. That's much more troubling than the wipes just taking a long time. I'm very hesitant to wipe those partitions and I know I'll eventually need to. Just wondering if I should jump ship back to cwm.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] theesotericone:
I've fully wiped the phone with recovery 3 times now and have had no issues at all. It does take about 2 minutes to wipe cache and about the same for system. Data wipes pretty fast. SO I have a few theories.

1) Maybe the recoveries are using a higher level of formatting. Similar to low level format as opposed to quick level format on PC's.

2) Maybe every one having these issues has used a toolkit.

3) Maybe people loosing baseband are not waiting for formatting cache to finish and that is somehow effecting baseband.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Exel:
Number three.. I've read at least 5 different people not letting cache finish formatting.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] 75markus:
i did a factory reset today, format cache took about 3-5 mins, format data was much quicker ...

i also think many people are too impatient, just leave your phone and come back 15mins later

don´t abort the wipe !!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] theesotericone:
I've read the same. Why is it only effecting baseband though? If you pull an sdcard during operation it makes sense that it could also effect other things like system, boot, or even recovery. I'm used to Samsungs which have a much different partition structure so just trying to understand the Nexus layout a little better.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pathtologos:
I can't say any of your theories are wrong. I did not use a toolkit but then again, I haven't tried wiping cache or dalvik yet. I'm on cataclysm but I only did a factory reset and wiped system before flashing it. And yes wiping system took a while (in twrp, doesn't a factory reset wipe cache and dalvik anyway?). I did wait for all the wipes to finish and when I booted into cataclysm everything was fine. The only reason I was considering coming back to cwm was that I thought no one using it had lost baseband. Is that not true? I guess either recovery is having same issues? It would be great to have a definitive answer as to what caused loss of baseband. I can deal with wiping taking a bit long but losing baseband ain't cool.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] MarkFromLondon:
Not with a custom recovery, no.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SUer:
Christ, can somebody please help me?

I thought it had locked up during cache wipe so I rebooted and now I haven't got a mounted SD Card and I've lost my baseband. Can't get on my mobile network. Please tell me someone can help!!!!!

/sdcard ???

[MENTION=2999829]PlayfulGod[/MENTION]

Can you answer me why the CWRM is using /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/ instead of /data/media/0/clockworkmod/backup/

I think, it should bind /sdcard to /data/media/0 so that the backup is accessible from file browser too !

Many thanks in advance
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
the 0 crap was for legacy stuff I believe. Someone brought this up and found it to be in /mnt/clockworkmod I think it was. ;)

[Nexus 5 Android Development] OryZ:
Hi,

[MENTION=2999829]PlayfulGod[/MENTION] thought I should post my experience here....

I've tried unlocking and installing recovery using the N5 Multi Tool.

You can read the full story in this post. Long story short after loading CWM and choosing to root + disable stock recovery flash the phone got stuck on boot animation. Factory wipe did not help. Eventually I loaded TWRP and did a full wipe with it and that worked... Not sure what is the difference in the scope of wipes etc. but obviously there is some differences.

I'm going to try and flash CWM again as I am used to it from the SGSII and see if it all works well now that I am rooted and booting fine.

Let me know if there are any details you might be interested in!

Just recently installed this recovery and mine is showing up in /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/ and not in /mnt/clockworkmod

My backup was done in recovery and not through ROM Manager

Did I miss a step somewhere or does recovery need to be pointed to /mnt/clockworkmod?

maybe a difference in how that installer installed it????

how were you viewing it (root explorer, adb, etc)??

That's where your backup supposed to be. I have a galaxy nexus with official CWM recovery, the backup is in data/media too. Don't worry, you can copy it to sdcard then transfer it to your PC. If you wanna keep backup on your phone, don't wipe sdcard. In case you wanna restore your backup, copy it to data/media not sdcard.

Coming back to cwm after using twrp for a long time. I created a backup today of my stock ROM b4 messing with DPI (its beautiful at 380). The backup was fast--i mean really fast. Like maybe 2-3 min.

You might not like it but the ONLY way to verify a backup is to do a restore, preferably after a full wipe. If you are uncomfortable with that you may want to make sure you have a TiB backup and/or a full adb backup as well.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eustilou:
Hmm... Does it work ok on twrp?

If yes, couldn't it be made to work in cwm?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] MSgtSimon:
It's in emulated because of the sdcard restructuring that happened in 4.3+.

Where do i place the downloaded .img file on computer? Also should i be in fastboot before entering "adb reboot bootloader" thanks
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Striatum_bdr:
It's better to place it in the folder where fastboot exe is located to avoid entering the img full path, except if you have a system wide fastboot install.

There is no fastboot mode on the computer, just reboot your phone to fastboot, then run the commands on your computer.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Natakranta:
I fastboot flashed it yesterday on my Nexus 5. Fastboot reboot-bootloader. Entered CWM. All good.

Factory reset, format system, wipe dalvik. I flashed Cataclysm.zip Cataclysm_update.zip and Franco karnel. Rebooted.

Phone booted fine Cataclysm room on Franco karnel. No bootloop whatsoever.

I hoped for better SOT but I'm finishing the battery now with 4h SOT only all day on WiFi and auto brightness. Exactly the same as on stock.

I'm disappointed. People were reporting better SOT.

This CWM works fine though. Just remember to be patient when it is wiping cache. Let it finish.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Giroyac:
Any word on an updated version for the n5 anytime soon ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
I can rebuild with what cm has now for it. They have been working on it and have a repo for it now. No official build yet tho as they want to fix a few things first and builder. not using the cm-11.0 branch to build yet (all official builds go thru builder. which I can build & publish ;)).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Giroyac:
Awesome, so the state cwm is in now, from my understanding and reading around has the slow cache wipe problem, which takes ages apparently.(twrp has the same issue). Is there any updates coming soon or should I go ahead and flash the current version?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
uploading a new img now build off CM's current cm-11.0 hammerhead repo. ;)

About to add the goo linkage now. ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Giroyac:
i got confused when you said build off CM's current cm 11.0 hammerhead repo.. loool sorry for my noobness, but are we talking about cyanogenmod 11.0 rom or clockworkmod recovery ? i was inquiring about clockworkmod

:eek::eek::rolleyes::rolleyes:

sorry again for being a bit retarded :P
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
Clockworkmod., its src is part of CM's src. ;) And they have the repos for cm-11.0 started, just not to their liking yet to start builds for hammerhead yet. ;)

Anyhow, links in op updated for new img. ;)

From what gweedo told me, fixes for sdcard have been added, so UMS might work now, but no fixes for slow cache wipe unfortunately. Not heard if anyone has a clue as to why its so slow either. :silly:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bigdave79:
Tried the latest 6.0.4.5. It still says 6.0.4.4 at the top when I reboot into recovery. Touch controls weren't there and USB mounting didn't work (I know this was a "maybe"). I downloaded the file from both devhost and goo as the first link (at the top of the OP) didn't work. Not sure if it was something I did wrong though. Re-flashed 6.0.4.4.

BTW, thanks for bringing us a working CWM. :good:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
if it didnt say 6.0.4.5 then it wasnt the new img. I built had it tested the other day when CM first added the hammerhead repo and it all worked. I'm sure gweedo and the others tested or had it tested too. You might just got a bad download ,can always check the sha1 or md5 to make sure the file isnt corrupted. ;)

Fixed the bad link too. ;)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] two00lbwaster:
Hi there,

My first post here, although I've hung out, anonymously, looking at the resources within the forum.

Today I received my Nexus 5. It's a lovely bit of hardware, but I've come from an HTC phone (4.1.1 Desire X) and I love the Sense UI; just so you know, I hate stock 4.4 thus my post below is in utter exasperation :(

I'm having an issue with trying to send an SMS. Unfortunately, I have to use Hangouts (I refused to update from Google Talk on the Desire X) and I'm finding that I can't sending a frigging SMS to a colleague at work because I have his Gmail email address as part of his contact details!!!

This is absolutely the most retarded thing in a Phone OS that I have come across, ever. Unfortunately, as an early adopter of this phone, I'm stuck without an alternative. So far as I can see, in Hangouts, I would have to type in the phone number manually whilst being logged out of my Gmail accounts in Hangouts to send an SMS, or maybe deleting the user's email address would suffice.

Am I missing some way of sending an SMS that's not completely obvious here?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koriflame:
My N5 arrives tomorrow, so I can't be much help with the app itself, but if it's really confusing/awful you can download an alternative SMS app from the play store and set it as your default.

Edit: I hear you on hating hangouts. I cant stand the version they have on 4.0/4.1/4.2/4.3, been sticking with talk also.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vincent Law:
I don't have it in my hands yet to test, but I'm fairly sure once you've opened the "new hangout" window, you can tap on their name on the upper left and switch to SMS from Hangout message.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KinghtMare.:
This app simply uses the word "Hangouts" over "SMS" so basically new hangout means new text message unless you specify a hangout chat. If the actual hangouts for either is unavailable then a text message will be automatically sent to the number. New "SMS" is the plus button and you can immediately type the number or scroll to find your contact. Everything after seems to work just like iMessage.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] two00lbwaster:
Seems to be the downside of having the device nice and early, noone else has one to confirm the issue. :(

Unfortunately, the other apps don't seem to work as they have to be rebuilt due to the changes that 4.4 has introduced :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davekr:
I'm not sure what problem you are having. I just got my N5 today and when I create a new message in Hangouts and choose a contact (one that has a gmail.com email address as well as a cell number) I have the choice between starting a chat or sending an SMS to the phone number. Do you not see this?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] two00lbwaster:
I'll have a look to see if that works.

I've never had an iPhone, which I'm guessing from the name is where that messaging application comes from. I tried to send a message to a collegue, and it sent it as a hangout, not an SMS. There is no option not to send it as an hangout, any more so than there is an option to send the message as a hangout, so I can't send him text messages.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] two00lbwaster:
Okay, yes, if I type in the person's name I now see several entries for the person, one is the Hangouts account which is top and the other is for SMS.

However, if I scroll down and select the person as I was doing originally, even though it says his phone number, it defaults to hangouts and you can't change it. :(

I don't have particularly many people in my contacts list so I prefer to scroll and select, as it's probably quicker for me, rather than type into the search box.
