So the new PG build is the first link under "my build"?

[Nexus 5 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
not been ordered yet, not had the fundage yet unfortunately. :crying:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Lancez:
Sorry to hear that. I understand a "thanks" button won't get you anywhere close to a N5. Kinda saving up for upcoming holiday season. But make sure you check your PayPal email before next weekend :cool::cool:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] theesotericone:
Just flashed a ROM, kernel and mod with zero issues. So I'd say the new unofficial swipe-able is good to go. Quick question though. Is there any way to pull logs from the device while it's in recovery? I adb logcatted it but there was no output in the text file. When I tried to just output it to the terminal I got:

/sbin/sh: exec: line 1: logcat: not found

Just curious if it's even possible with it being in recovery or if there is another way.

EDIT:

Actually that reminded me of something. Playful you might wanna check it sooner. lol Thanks for this.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] yldlj:
So the official cwmr is stable now? No problems at all?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] danarama:
Hi [MENTION=2999829]PlayfulGod[/MENTION]

Do you have your sources and device tree in github or anything? The reason I am asking is I'd like to play with them please if you don't mind. I need to test my build environment with a working CWM compile so I can aid in future with bringing Philz recovery to the N5.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Natakranta:
A little something from me as a token of appreciation for your great work.

You can have a pint or put it to your Nexus 5 piggy banks :cool:

Thanks for all your work. Does this apply to the non swipe version as well?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] 75markus:
here is the zip of PlayfulGods new swipe recovery :
[Nexus 5 Android Development] maddoggin:
i grabbed the recovery.img from koushs official download page and when i go into recovery to flash anything the little android image is all cut up will this one fix that? is the one on koush page not working right? lol i mean obviously it isnt but i havnt tried to wipe or anything just rooted by flashing super-su and did a backup the whole time the little android guy image was distorted
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
Andy is all jacked up, but other than that all good, or so I been told.

do a breakfast hammerhead, then a repo sync, then you can either cherry-pick this or simply delete the res directory in the recovery directory.

In AOSP, they added wiggling ears to Andy. If you ever took a OTA or paid attention while doing a backup/restore Andy's guts are animated. Well now his ears are too. gweedo767 added this to CWM a week or so ago, so the extra images left in hammerheads device tree conflict with the images in cwm and thus we have a jacked up Andy. lol It will be fixed eventually, I submitted the fix to gerrit a few days ago, but they havent merged it yet.

Thank you, much appreciated!!!! :)

Yes it does.

my build of the swipe doesnt have the jacked up Andy, just the official img's.

Is it normal that it is saving the backups to /data/media/clockworkmod/backup?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
Thats where mine are and I do know my backups have been surviving factory resets, so all should be good.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ghling:
I just wonder if the backups are still stored in such a strange place as before and if so, if there are any plans to change that. I don't like not being able to manage my backups through a file manager (they don't seem to appear in root explorer under /mnt/ and definitely not in the file manager when you connect your phone via usb).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
you can manage them with ROM Manager, but yea I think they are still hidden from other apps as a security feature.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] 75markus:
they are there to survive a factory reset ...

you can manage them with root explorer

if you want to store them on your pc, copy them to sdcard and access them then with mtp ...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ghling:
Thank you for your answer, I didn't know I can find them in this path. I have read somewhere something like /mnt/clockworkmod which I have not found. But this way I have no problem at all :)

But how come they survive factory reset when they are stored in /data? I thought /data gets wiped when I do a factory reset (other than the content of the sdcard)? Or is it different with the N5?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] 75markus:
i guess it´s kinda linked, this is the "real path" ... here you can see that a factory reset will not touch them, they are not in "0"
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sammy789:
My backups are stored under mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup You can simply store them on your pc by doing an adb pull.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] adrman:
Beat me to it by 5 minutes.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vortex1969:
Some quick feed back. I tried both official and unofficial and if you are looking for a bug free CWM stay with PlayfulGods builds.

Thanks for the great recovery.;)

[Nexus 5 Android Development] THE_KINGDOM:
I'm not understanding..what's the new swipe recovery? Which one is the one which fixes the slow wiping of /cache etc

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
swipe is a feature than can be enabled in unofficial builds. ;)

All the new img's I posted have the fixes for slow wipes.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] THE_KINGDOM:
All the links in the original post?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
uh huh:D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] stevew84:
Dumb question, but where are the backups stored?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
was discussed a couple pages back ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] stevew84:
Got it, thanks.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] THE_KINGDOM:
I've got a glitchy android logo showing in CWM when flashing and wiping anything and this is after just flashing the top .IMG file on OP. (The goods 1st download link)

Wiping cache is also still slow... So not fixed on this build..

Maybe it would be a good idea to lay out exactly which builds have the slow wipe bug fixed
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
did you flash touch or non-touch official cwm??

I can say I know my build has the fixes. I might been wrong assuming koush built after the fixes were merged.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] THE_KINGDOM:
Non-touch the top one.

I thought these were technically all unofficial builds?

I don't know what swipe is.. Which is why I didn't use your builds.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Lancez:
You are missing out some good stuff then

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
swipe gestures to scroll and select, they been in my builds from the start. And my builds are unofficial builds. ;)

I edited the OP to be more clear. The top 2 links are to official CWM Touch and non-touch. My builds are under the heading My Builds. ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] THE_KINGDOM:
Ok cool so assuming ur builds are the ones that include the fix for slow wipe of /cache
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
newest has the slow wipe fix. The buttons work like normal plus has swipe controls, they are purdy neat. ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] THE_KINGDOM:
ok so I installed your build now, with swipe controls. cool. and wipe /cache is very quick. Thanks :)

maybe make a note of this in the OP
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
Thought I had. lol
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Natakranta:
Yes they are! :D

And it's fast now. I mean real fast. I flashed it yesterday evening, swipe version of course. :good:

Factory reset was like 3 seconds. System format was immediate. Flashing of new Cataclysm ROM update with Gapps (one zip 393Mb!) took about 5 minutes.

BTW, it restores nands made in previous version (one with slow cache wipe) without any problems. Do I need to mention it does it fast? ;)

Well done PlayfulGod :good:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] shawnaye:
Just wanted to point out, [MENTION=2999829]PlayfulGod[/MENTION] , your build link is down.

flashed the new build via toolbox and lost my root but got my root back already!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] styago:
Hi everyone,

noob-question regarding flashing of recoveries. I was used to flash zip as I am not so into adb so far. Would you tell me how to flash these img? I read in OP you can do it via ROM Manager, but I can't find the img there.

Thank you very much!!!

Bye

[Nexus 5 Android Development] stevew84:
I can never get the USB storage to mount going thru CWMR, anyone know why?

Thanks, I'm having a problem I can't access my sd card via USB for some reason, debugging is OFF and drivers are installed.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hanschke:
is your Build a Touch Build with swipe control enabled?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kashix:
yes his own build is a touch build with swipe control enabled!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] 75markus:
you can find a zip here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47688962&postcount=286 or use flashify to flash the image
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
I said the official imgs can be installed via ROM Manager. ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SplitCold:
So I unlocked my phone already, to get cwmr I can just use the app instead of fastboot way? Or does the app only work for updating cwmr?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
The first install of recovery I typically use fastboot to install it. After that I tend to use RM to update it, but yes RM can do the initial recovery install long as you are rooted. ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] danarama:
Hi just a quick one, cache/recovery/last_log doesnt overwrite. It creates last_log.1 etc.

Is this expected?

Hello all, been a while but miss my hobbie so I got me a N5, So I followed the CF Auto Root and it went well , but left me to want a bit more would like to know if someone could point me in the right direction to a thread for pro/con on CWM vs TWRP. Never used the later the original was always straight n to the point but figured this was better that asking which is best a little reading never hurts.

Thanks always in advance, lol

[Nexus 5 Android Development] SithL0rd:
Ok. Ive tried both .4.4 and .4.5 and both when I try to wipe data/factory reset I get an error

E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]

What I've found googling is that its some sort of incompatability.

First time through I thought OK no biggie but custom ROMs never seem to boot.

Thank god the backup worked as I was able to do a restore.

Thanks for any help!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
sd-ext is a partition on the sdcard, or rather can be if the sdcard is partitioned for it. So, theres nothing wrong, that partition just isnt being found, thus is cant be wiped, and isnt the cause or reason why you're not able to flash a ROM. ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SithL0rd:
OK weird. I have not done anything other than unlock it. I shall keep on keepin on.

Thanks for the fast response!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] RusherDude:
Nice!

This works well, the only problem I find is that my backups have the 1970~ datetime bug. This can be solved in any way?

Edit. I have searched some and found different opinions: some said that this was a known LG bug and that it was unfixable, others that it was a cwm 5.x bug and got solved eventually with a new release.

On this case, can't the Nexus 5 make backups with the properly dates? I know you can rename them later but thats not the issue.

Thanks!!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ahsengah:
Bugger, I was in the middle of a wipe and it seemed to take ages, so I long pressed the power button which I guess aborted the thing.

I flashed Catacalysm thinking it's fine, and then booted up the phone and it was acting very weird.

Also had no reception cos my baseband was unknown..

Doing some searches, guess I just have to flash the factory image again?

EDIT: I was able to restore my baseband by restoring from a NANDBACKUP. However before installing catacalysm, I performed a Wipe/Factory reset (and let it takes it's time) and reflashed the rom, and I got the same baseband issues.

is this an issue with CWM or the Catacalysm rom? I'm confused.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Natakranta:
I have PlayfulGod's swipe 6.0.4.4 version with slow cache wipe already fixed. Before flashing Cataclysm Nov.21 zip I did a factory reset in CWM (this includes cache wipe), then went to mounts and formatted system, then to advanced and wiped dalvik cache. All of this steps took no more then few seconds each. After that I flashed Cataclysm.zip which took about 5 minutes and rebooted to android. Not problems whatsoever :)

Maybe you have bad download. Or try flash with the same steps I did.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] adrman:
I had a strange one yesterday. I flashed PlayfulGod's swipe 6.0.4.5 swipe, previously having 6.0.4.4, rebooted the boot loader, then back to recovery. I then made a backup and did a adb pull to my PC. When I rebooted the os, I went into a bootloop. I went back to the boot loader, then into cwm and attempted to restore the nandroid I just created, except cwm couldn't find /sdcard. I ended up flashing the factory images, then cwm, then restoring the nandroid after pushing it from my PC. The restore took a very long time, perhaps because it was tar/gzip. Also, flashing the factory images, my sdcard came up as only 16gb. I had to format data from cwm to get my 32mb back.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Deegan87:
Did your adb pull take ages like mine seem to take? I'm having slow transfer issues on multiple android and multiple PC's.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] adrman:
No, the pull seemed to be at normal speed. I am running Ubuntu however and that may make a difference.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Gibsonflyingv:
I'm sorry if this was posted a few pages ago, search is down for me right now. I'm having issues where my CWM won't mount the cache. I tried to do a factory reset and it hangs at cache, and trying to restore, it also hangs at cache. I'm screwed now because it won't boot fully. Not exactly sure what to do. Can anyone provide some suggestions?

Edit:

I'm getting

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
advanced > reboot recovery

see if that helps. Which did you have installed? my build or official??
[Nexus 5 Android Development] aavvaallooss:
Not only in CWM, also happens in TWRP and in my Dropbox pictures. Problem with KitKat or LG (SnapDragon I readed)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
its LG, they dont have a time process in the lower levels. I have seen this for a couple years now on LGs going back to msm7630.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Gibsonflyingv:
hmm, I got it to restore properly. I'll try a re-flash and see if things are smoother.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Chipsybg:
The same thing is happening with me, either recovery I use goes into bootloop...

Tried 6.0.4.4 or .5

The only solution to boot back into stock is to manually use the stock recovery to wipe cache...

Very weird, can anyone suggest a solution for that?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] theesotericone:
What do you mean goes into a bootloop? I've never heard of a recovery bootloop before. Check the MD5. Something is wrong on your end. The unofficial recoveries are working really well. So well I've never bothered to even try the official. I'm on 6.0.4.4 swipe-able and have been for at least ten flashes and restores now. Not a single issue.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
I have seen recovery bootloops, but no one til now has experienced one on the N5. So that leads me to believe its something on the users end, no offense. ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Chipsybg:
I tried to flash 2 different ROMs - the weird PA release and another one, don't really remember which one.

So I wipe the device with CWM, flash the ROM, either one, and then bootloop. Meaning it'll never boot, and if you pres Power button it'll just reboot, not turn off.

Luckily I could get into Bootloader and flash the stock 4.4 image, but it won't boot either until I format the Cache via the stock recovery.

Something is very weird on my end, I didn't have radio working in either of the custom roms that I tried
[Nexus 5 Android Development] theesotericone:
Explain a recovery bootloop. Never seeing one I didn't even realize it was possible. Isn't the boot sequence bootloader then recovery. So how would it bootloop? If your no longer holding the button to initiate the bootloader to look for the recovery. At that point it should just boot into the OS. That's how my brain understands it anyway.

Edited to add:

Something is wrong for sure. That's a ROM bootloop but what is causing it you'll have to dig into further. Reflash playfulgods cwm swipeable with fastboot after checking the MD5(sha). Then check the MD5 on the ROM you've DL'd. Then reboot recovery format system/data/cache. Then flash the ROM. If that doesn't work you've got some big issues.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PlayfulGod:
You can always get the factory images from google and do a flash-all from fastboot/bootloader.

its where the device wont do anything except boot back to recovery, Technically not really a loop, but thats what it gets referred as.

You have to keep in mind I have built CWM for many, many devices, and most have be LG's. I have also helped on others, so I seen a lot of strange issues. lol
