Maybe you should try the right forum.

And No, you cannot use a firmware from a different device.

So you are on Omni Rom and want CWM recovery instead of TWRP?

Or maybe you are on CM and want TWRP instead of CWM?

Or perhaps you want to give Philz CWM Advanced Edition a go.

Here's how:

Head over to [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION]'s Android Image Kitchen thread and download the Andoid.Image.kitchen.v1.8.Win32.zip (Don't forget to thank him for his work while you are there) :)

Extract the zip to your desktop and open the folder.

Drag and drop the boot.img which contains the recovery you want to have to unpackimg.bat.

The boot.img will now have been split into two folders. split_img - (which contains the kernel), and ramdisk which contains the system and recovery ramdisks. We need the recovery ramdisk.

Go to the ramdisk folder and find the ramdisk-recovery.cpio file - it should be in the sbin folder. Copy it to your desktop.

Go back to the Android Image 1.8 folder and double click cleanup.bat

Next, drag and drop the boot.img which contains the recovery you want to replace to unpackimg.bat.

Now just replace the ramdisk-recovery.cpio file with the one you extracted to your desktop earlier. (Make sure the file name is exactly the same)

Go back to the Android Image 1.8 folder and repack the boot.img by double clicking repackimg.bat.

You will see a file called "image-new.img". That is your new boot.img with the recovery of your choice ;)

Rename it to boot.img and save it to your platform tools folder, ready for flashing via fastboot.

Alternatively replace the dummy boot.img in this file by dragging and dropping yours into it, and flash in recovery.

Done!

Should do, just get hold of recovery.cpio images by unpacking other boot.img's for your device that have recoveries you want, do some.swapping and repack.

Sorry for my English.

Unfortunately, this method doesn't support unpacking 'elf' or 'sin' images. sorry.

I repacked it a different way, try it if you want. Can't guarantee it will work thoughView attachment 2772319

Edit: If it works, after flashing, you should have Philz CWM and TWRP 2.7 recoveries :)

Wise and well connected GRM community-

I am trying to find a source for CNC services for a one off prototype of the part pictured below. It's a timing inspection cover for Datsun L series engines, and yes, I do have a license to reproduce the BRE logo.

The photo shows an earlier version of the design, laser cut in wood by a former co-worker. The specs are as follows: 1/4 thick T5 aluminum, cut on a 3 axis mill, Black anodized finish, the milled portions are .070 deep.

EmachineShop's price for a run of 50 or more of the plates is very reasonable, but for 1 piece they want $469.08, with a 45 business day turnaround time I'm not looking for free, just something slightly more reasonable

Anyone have any lower cost suggestions? I'm open to getting an "unfinished" piece and having it anodized locally.

Thanks, Jeff W.

Hello guys

First for all, hello, firsts post here, but I'm reading this forum for a while ago...

Second, please don't turn this thread a 'SP Battery rlz VS SP Battery sucks' xD. Actually, I'm satisfied with battery life in SP

Now... To the thread. One of u have seen something like this?

First high battery drain is normal usage, actually, I was testing some apps, however, second high battery drain is standby mode!, yes! standby!... It was the time I was sleeping xD

When I go to Battery Usage I found this

that f**king Google Services and Google+ are draining my battery.... Since I brought this new phone (last one was Xperia T, it was stolen :crying:) I saw a lot of times that damn Google Services consuming a lot of battery, and at Xperia T always Screen was the number one at this.

Anyone knows why this happens? there's a solution other wise turn off all google stuff?

Regards

PS: as u can see my native language is spanish, so sry if my english is not good xD

oh yeah... I'm at .254 Stock ROM

Hey,

before you sleep, maybe turn on flight mode just to go sure. If your phone is rooted you could also use greenify, if not, don't use it :D

You need to use the app 'Wakelock Detector' to find what is keeping your phone awake.

The amount of time your phone is awake definitely isn't normal

Also try disabling stamina mode
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QBerto:
Thanks for your answers guys

Actually, turning off Wifi solves the problem, but I'm curious about why Google Services drain so much battery, also, this is not happening all the time

About that, stamina have some issues with Outlook, sometimes Outlook drain a lot of battery in standby, but only happen when I'm on mobile data, and also not always, with Google Services happen both on mobile data and Wifi...

I'll use that app, so let me install and see what happen, also I'll try siabling stamina...

I'm not sure if I has to use the edit button, but well...

Running WLD all night found this

searching a little, I found that the 'GTALK_ASYNC etc etc' is known that may cause battery drain.... and apparently is related with VPN.... The first image of this post I was testing that app 'Firewall sin root' that creates a false VPN to conrtrol all data... but now, last night I was not using that app and still happened...

I'm waiting for 4.3. update now, so I'll see what happen after that xD

Hi guys I'm thinking about picking up the SW2 to use with my LG G2. My main question is how well does the watch integrate with Google services/notifications?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raillery:
Last night I was trying out some different roms using philz touch recovery. Then the backup I made of my daily driver, MIUI, wouldn't restore. I tried doing a custom restore as that has worked in the past when my full backup wouldn't restore. Still wouldn't work. So i tried some other ROMs. Avatar ROM, OSE, and even MIUI were giving me issues, and at some point I lost connectivity I believe. I went to bed with MIUI installed, but not running. Today after not having calls, texting, data, etc. in addition to MIUI repeatedly asking me to set a mobile data cap/limit, then not letting me click on anything when trying to set it, I decided to go back to stock in hopes that it would restore connectivity. I used ODIN to flash a stock from August I had, the file was "KIES_HOME_I535VRBMF1_1152558_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5" which is android 4.1.2. So now I'm back on stock with o root and still no connectivity.

Under status my phone shows Network as "Unknown", Service state as "Out of service", Mobile network state as "Disconnected", Mobile network type as "Unkown" and IMEISV as "00" if that makes any difference.

I'll be re-rooting and probably flashing MIUI again, but how do I get connectivity back?

Thanks so much!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Raillery:
Okay so I restored my EFS/IMEI and I have my connectivity back. Unfortunately, I still can't restore the backup I made of my daily driver (MIUI). In an extremely frustrating turn of events, all my Titanium Backup backups of apps are gone. I just purchased TB Pro yesterday. Anyone have any ideas? And is it generally a good idea to stay away from "Philz Touch Recovery"?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Raillery:
Are the backups kept on the SD or internal? If so, I assume they got deleted when I ODINed back to stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BattsNotIncld:
Correct. TiBu backs up on internal memory unless you change to SD card in settings. I learned this the hard way as well :(.

If I were you I would try an alternate version of CWM to see if you could restore your backup successfully. Philz recovery is based on CWM, correct? That way you would get all your app data back. Also you could maybe try to pull the Titanium data from your nandroid backup (assuming it's on your SD card), but I'm not sure how to go about this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Raillery:
I had the same ideas, but since I can't locate the nandroid now, I assume I must have backed up to internal due to low memory on my SD. Lost all my xmas photos as well, which is ironic because the whole reason I was messing around with different roms was because I couldn't get instagram working with MIUI. Ah well, think I'll be sticking with CWM as backups made with philz have failed to restore in the past as well.

If it matters, I currently use franco's kernel, but everything else is completely stock (factory, not AOSP).

You can install multirom using this app, but you will need to be rooted AND unlocked

If you have an unlocked bootloader but no root, you can flash the multirom recovery.img using fastboot.

If you aren't unlocked, back up your apps to to an external source, unlock your bootloader and then flash the multirom recovery.img using fastboot.

Tangerine Personal Finance​

Welcome to Tangerine. The reason why I wrote this app was simple. The previous bills app I was using, tended to not notify me correctly and barely showed me any sort of data that was relevant to my finances. Tangerine takes this little issue and focuses on showing you all the details pertaining to your finances. Tangerine shows you all of your upcoming and overdue bills. It keeps track of your account balances(set your balance and watch it keep track). It helps you breakdown(by category, by days/weeks and by top expenses) your finances based on the dates you have chosen.

It is a rather slow growing application since I do not currently have disposable Income to promote using Ads and whatnot. Hence, here I am asking for your help to get Tangerine a little bit higher up the charts. I am continuously updating it with new features and new updates based on what my users require. Hence if you have a suggestion for Tangerine, please shoot me a PM, post in this thread, or simply email me using the report bug inside settings. I am fairly good at responding fast.

Tangerine Free version does NOT contain any Ads but does come with certain functionalists being blocked in it. I did not limit any transactions or any types of recurring bills. The things that are limited as strictly settings, and a few aspects of multiple account. Ergo you can use it as a daily drive as a bills app without worrying about adding too many transactions.

P.S if anyone has any ideas on how to promote, feel free to post them I am always open to suggestions.
