I wasn't aware that this recovery is not compatible with CyanogenMod auto update feature, just tried with newest M8 release and I got some errors in recovery than reboot, it was fast enough that I was not able to read it actualy.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] danarama:
Cyanogen use legacy mount point (pre android 4.2) for /sdcard as /data/media (instead of /data/media/0). It's lazy coding.

You can work around this issue by toggling sdcard to /data/media in Philz if you really want to use this method. Personally, I would rather avoid anything coded lazy like that though

it's normal that i have one nandroid with 11 files and one with 10 files ?

In stock folder i have one file data.ext4.tar.b that not present in carbon folder..

Installed last version of PhilZ Touch on my Nexus 5 with SlimRom. It works fine, no issues so far.

I afraid about only 3 attempts before everything will be erased.

Is it possible to increase that number?

Or also, is it possible disable erasing?

Will be awesome to full lock when will be locked by password any ability to change recovery, boatloader, Rom.

anyway, it's so cool feature, was waiting so long for that.

Is anyone use F2FS with SlimRom's stock kernel ?

Is it real beneficial to use F2FS ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] danarama:
Incorrrect passkey entry does not erase the device. It simply reboots back to android.

You cannot use F2FS with the Slim Kernel. It is not enabled. You will have to use 3rd party Kernel + RAMDISK (most kernels come with RAMDISK)

F2FS is supposed to increase read/write speed to memory. I can't say it is noticeably faster for me but it's been a while since I compared.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] adrman:
I've never run any benchmarks, but on my grouper, F2FS makes a huge difference. On my hammerhead, I really don't notice any change. I've been considering going back to ext4 on that device. Of course if I do that, then I probably will notice one.?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dechronic:
I use F2FS-ALL modified kernels that I have modified and tested I get a performance increase in certain areas
[Nexus 5 Android Development] prairie-dad:
if I'm not using F2FS (cause I'm on Slimkat...)

I gather from searching the thread that Slimkat doesn't support F2FS at this time. I don't anticipate changing to another kernel/ROM any time soon. That being the case, is there _any_ reason to update from 6.30 to 6.47...or any reason _not_ to update?

Also (unrelated to above) I can never get the time and date fix to stick...each time I flash a new Slim I have to do it again...what am I missing? I liked 1970 well enough (and am old enough to remember it quite clearly!) but nothing like the present...

many thanks to all,

Until now I had only read about philz touch. Thanks [MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2872010]rootSU[/MENTION]

Backup restore from and to cwm and twrp is flawless. Wipes are lightening fast. I really like the status bar showing activity and data while in use. Adding the aroma file manager is well worth it. I have the time issue as well central time for me was the hours off no issue though as I never leave the set backup name and don't need time in recovery.

so i decided to wipe and install again

My Feedback:

It´s the greatest recovery, i think... I used it bevor on my beloved Galaxy Note GT-N7000...

So now...

Wipe Cache / Wipe Dalvik Cache and format system works great and fast.... Every week i have to use this option 3 or more times without any problems...

The AromeFile explore answers: "No clockworkmod/aromafm/aromafm.zip in storage paths"

Screenshots are done but not useable ;)

The Screenshots are in the attachment...

Great work so far...

Greetz Echse...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Phil3759:
aroma works if you read main thread and install it where it must go

screen shots I will remove the function for now

Any link, what's that and what does it need?

What are the recoveries that work with it?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Baphometa:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2571011

Is a link to thread. As for recoveries that work I think it's just twrp for now.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] danarama:
ROM support isn't required, it's purely kernel related. I can't see Slim maintaining 3 device kernels either, although I may ask them if they'd consider it. I lose OTG mounting by using F2FS as I have to use an alternative RAMDISK that loses this.

Not to update? Only reason for that is I'll probably be building this weekend. If you're security concious like me, the recovery lock is an awesome feature brought into 6.47.4, although gets better with full capacitive key support in 6.48.8. Better wiping too. If you wipe sdcard using Philz, until now it does not recrete /data/media/0 so thats been added... Backup using libtar too

Time and Date fix? Do you mean the old method, before the time daemon worked properly? Use the recommended settings in page one if you're not already doing. Flashing Slim never changes my time settings.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] prairie-dad:
Many thanks for comprehensive and _quick_ response. Will wait for your next build and update next week for the added security, even while I stick to Slim (and its built-in kernel, sorry I was unclear) and thus avoid F2FS.

and yes, I've stuck with the old instructions all this time 'cause they were the ones in effect when I first flashed Philz. Will test new settings but suppose they'll work just fine.

thanks and regards,

[Nexus 5 Android Development] x111:
Today got new slimrom and by flashing it found very unpleasant wipe system,

Why under option wipe for new ROM, it wipe my data ? It just insane, it's like factory wipe.

Is it possible to collect all the wipe option in one place, and everyone will decide what they want to wipe ?

damn it, but lock option is so cool.

p.s. wipe system is horrible, pls, pls, fix it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] efan3719:
That option is intended for a clean flash of a new ROM. That will wipe everything clean for a fresh start. I even think it warns you of that before doing it. If you want to just wipe system you can. Just mount and format system. Take your time to read and make sure you know what you're doing in recovery because there is always a chance of messing things up. And always have a back up before you do anything.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] danarama:
^ this.

And as mentioned it does warn you what happens.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] x111:
I do not complain about anything, and I did not lose anything by do a wipe. I was aware of this.

I just wish that this recovery will be improved cause I really like it.

Thanks for quick response.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] danarama:
Improved how? It's exactly as it is intended.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] x111:
in my vision, all wiping options need to be on one place/menu like it was done in TWRP, which is I see that very easy and quick to mark whatever you need to wipe and flash Rom.

But, in this recovery wipe options in different places which makes uncomfortable usage.

The simplest improvement that I can image is separate wipe options instead of just one option wipe for new Rom.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] danarama:
No, this wont happen.

Format options are different than Wipe options and need to remain separate.

There are 2 wipe options

Wipe data/factory reset - This is used when flashing a new ROM

Wipe cache partition - There really is no need to use this option unless you're having issues with your current ROM. You do not need to use this option when you're flashing a rom

So, if you're flashing a new ROM, you go into Wipe data/factory reset.

Then you make a choice, just wipe data or wipe data and system. Almost all times, the first option is what you choose. On rare occaisions you may need to wipe system but there are not many occasions you would have to do this. This is completely logical and how Recoveries have always been (with exception for TWRP)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Phil3759:
Till 6.48.4, i was keeping in sync with cwm. Now, PhilZ broke upstream sync and going ahead on its own.

I will join wipe cache and dalvik... under same menu as other wipes

Maybe i improve things visually so people see exactly what partitions are going to be wiped by each option
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dechronic:
That is cool. It will have a better flow like that. Any chance you will be adding a way to view what format a partition has? i.e. EXT4, F2FS, etc? Or am I missing it in the current version?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] danarama:
Couple of options?

1) Include Wipe Cache in with standard "wipe data / factory reset" and "wipe data / factory reset for install new rom"

2) Maybe like custom backup, have custom wipe where can select partitions to wipe?

What do you think?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dechronic:
Makes sense. Makes room for any other future features as well.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] danarama:
I suppose it's a good opportunity to scrap the whole cwm menu system. Maybe get rid of "philz settings" which I imagine was put there to separate it from cwm, but it would be much better integrating that stuff into existing menus or at the root of the menu system.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ralpheboyo:
Prefer option 2.... But either way if it's consolidated in one area no real big deal...

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Phil3759:
I will look at it

The menus will be completely revised when things are ready

All ideas are welcome

If I don't answer, be ensured I read and think at them
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dechronic:
Ideas for an interface: (forgive me if some are over the top, not sure what can and cannot be done with a recovery image)

Icons for Menus

Tabs for Menus

Lock screen layout with each snap point being a menu option, with center button as a one touch backup and then wipe (of everything except data) or make it customizable. (maybe too much for recovery image?)

Lock screen layout which rotates and at the option selected is presented with an icon in the center of lock screen layout to tap. (maybe too much for recovery image?)

Tabs on left or right of screen that slide out to present menu options

Menu options that rotate vertically (slide up or down to rotate on left or right of screen) and on each menu option, a drop down list is presented

Gesture for each menu option? (too much most likely as it will need instructions for each gesture and the result)

Swipe up/down (or left/right) flips the screen like a card presenting another menu option

Swiping from top of screen down (or the reverse) pulls out a menu, with a highlighter on the top line, further down you swipe the more options present themselves. On release the highlighted item is selected. Reverse the process to go back.

Tabs with just a letter or color or both on both sides of the screen that when a tab is touched, the menu pops out, however, if the finger is still on the screen and moves to another tab, the menu pops out and is selected upon release. (I guess it's just more detail on the 5th point)

A screen spelling PTR (Philz Touch Recovery) and each point, each with an individual color and letter, on one of the main letters (PTR) is a menu option, probably better for a landscape mode. After thought, can be done in portrait if the letters are written from top to bottom.

An image of 8 arrows. Depending of which direction is swiped, a different menu is presented, limited to 8 menus to any one screen of course.

A spiral interface with a highlight on the center, starts by touching the center and by following a semi transparent spiral produces more options with the highlighted one being selected upon release. Back button, enter button, etc. can be placed in any of the corners

Sorry was just brain storming a bit, sorry if I put too much out there.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Phil3759:
LoL

Yeah, it's just a recovery...

But some could be nice and doable
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
Every time I boot into philz cwm my time get's reset to 1970-3-24 and some time...I set it and validate the time & date and every time I reboot the time is reset so it gives my backup's incorrect time and dates. I've checked the try to restore time, but that doesn't seem to work. Not quite sure what the use qcom time daemon does but I tried that as well....how can I get the time to stay persistent across reboots into recovery? I've tried backing up and restoring settings but still no luck.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] danarama:
The correct instructions are on page 1 of this thread.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] x111:
Is it possible to lock by password bootloader that prevent flash in anyhow ?

when lost password = phone is a brick (useless hardware without known password)

thanks.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] danarama:
You cannot password protect the boot loader , nor would that be useful

What are you talking about bricks for?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
I tried the qcom time daemon setting...maybe it's because I also manually set the time and date which is why it reset?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] danarama:
Maybe. Follow the instructions exactly
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ralpheboyo:
Switched over from twrp to Cwm and followed the instructions.. Worked like a charm....
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dechronic:
The bootloader doesn't need a password as you cannot flash anything if the bootloader is locked.

If it is unlocked there is a flashable zip that lock and unlock it without wiping the phone via a custom recovery. Search cwm-Nexus.BootUnlocker.zip to find it

Philz Touch Recovery latest version has a password feature that you can lock the recovery. Thus, the phone will be secure if you lock the bootloader, passcode lock Philz Touch Recovery and password protect (or other security option) the Android 4.4.x. The only way to access the phone after that is to unlock the bootloader by using "fastboot oem unlock" which will WIPE your entire phone including the data. You can use it again but without any of your previous ROM, settings or data.

I hope that answers all aspects of your question.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] x111:
Thank you for clarifying that.

You said:

and this is exactly what I dream to prevent.

Make phone useless, if you do not know a password,

when you cannot get access in anyhow,

when impossible to flash anything,

even no way to wipe anything without password,

when only way to trow it into garbage, or change motherboard with memory.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] danarama:
This is a bad idea. If you could prevent bootloader unlock without password you forget your password, your phone is brick. No one will implement this, even if it is possible.

Of your device gets stolen , report it to carrier then it cannot be used on network.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Wakamatsu:
You can still flash, just not through fastboot.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] danarama:
Uploading now. Possibly one of the last Philz 6.x builds
[Nexus 5 Android Development] danarama:
The point is, Lock android, Lock recovery, Lock bootloader - no one can get your data. There is nothing that can be flashed by those who do not know one of the passkeys to get to your data. All they can do is unlock bootloader which wipes the device.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Wakamatsu:
Up until a few days ago, I've used CWM recovery exclusive. I've taken the bold step :p of jumping to TWRP. From that perspective, a locked bootloader is not all that secure if that was my concern. I flash stock recovery once I think I'm done (at least for a few days).

I may get bold again and try Philz. :laugh:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] danarama:
Nope thats the point. From other recoveries, if you lock the bootloader, you can still flash a zip that bypasses the Android screen lock or adb pull all the data off your memory

With Philz, you can lock recovery so no one can flash a zip or adb pull your data. Philz is the most secure recovery on the Nexus 5, bar none.

Of course, with other recovery, you can argue that you can "encrypt" your device, but for me this is a bad idea. It adds an overhead and can cause issues getting your data working once you have it off your device. Not risks I want to take
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dechronic:
:good: Hear Hear :good:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] fatspirit:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] danarama:
Its never worked on this phone and no idea why. We don't support aroma directly. I think there are lots of issues with aroma but nothing we can do
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dechronic:
To mount /system in Aroma Manager, open Aroma Manager, tap the menu icon, tap open console, type "mount /system" (without the quotations marks) and press the enter key. Tap close. You will now have full access to the /system folder.

[MENTION=2872010]rootSU[/MENTION] Today I migrated back from F2FS to ext4. As PhilZ said way back when this feature was introduced, the best way to backup and restore your data is via Flash Drive/OTG cable. This time around I had no problems with permissions, etc... like I encountered via adb push/pull going the other direction. The entire conversion took me about an hour.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Jax Teller:
[MENTION=2872010]rootSU[/MENTION] I switched to Philz recovery.:D

I tried to set the time settings like you describe but you say "Use the "Time daemon" setting" but there are two options, "Parce Time Daemon Data" & "Qualcomm Time Daemon".

I chose "Qualcomm Time Daemon", rebooted to rom and again to recovery and the time is right but I have a message that says "E:can't find time daemon".

Did I do something wrong?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] danarama:
Hmm.

I would recommend....

Parse the data (means remove it)

Boot into rom

Boot into recovery

Set qualcomm

Boot rom

Boto back to recovery

Check time
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Jax Teller:
Same thing happens again.

By the way, date and time are right even when I rebooted back to recovery after "Parse the data".

The message "E:can't find time daemon" appears also when I choose "Qualcomm Time Daemon" not just when I boot to recovery.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] danarama:
Not sure what to suggest then.

[MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION], any thoughts?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Phil3759:
