[LG Optimus G Pro] Fant0m3:
Well I just noticed I've been dealing with personal issues but just noticed that there is some sort of problem with the new recovery. While I can't get you a phone to test on I'm always willing to test any new software, I'm not scared or deterred easily just tell me what I need to run and I'll get logcats for you.

Also is there a fix to flash kernel/modem or any other boot.img base files or is it all done through flashify now
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
I think Flashify should work. Others have mentioned using it.

Latest version: twrp284-e980-untested_04.img.

I took it all apart and put it back together, more efficiently, triple-checking and fixing every single part of it. I've referenced soo many other sources for each little bit, comparing and whatnot. Other than perhaps last minute 'woops! forgot that.' mistakes, this should be about perfect, I think. Maybe.

I've also enabled a good amount of extra logging, probably overkill, but we shall see. :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] hitekredneck:
New version has a couple of problems. Particularly Backup and Restore. When either of these is chosen, following screens are not populated with the data choices where you can set the tick marks for the partitions you wish to back up or restore, that area of the screen is blank, making a backup or restore impossible. Getting ready to head out the door to work now and do not have time to pull logs. Hopefully someone else can verify the same problem and grab logs for you.

One more thing, in your test recovery it was reporting a CPU temp of 47 C, after reflashing 2.8.1.0 it is reporting CPU temp of 37 C. Thought you might want to know this info.

Thanks man!
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
> data choices

I think I had it pointed at the wrong fstab. That may be why.

> CPU temp of 47 C

I had left out two thermal libs. That may be why.

Fixes: twrp_284-e980-untested_v05.img

EDIT:

Also it should automatically pull two logs when you boot into recovery, and place them in the '/sdcard/TWRP/logs' directory.
[LG Optimus G Pro] yijinsa:
V0.5 can't boot into recovery ,just show the Twrpwin then reboot phone
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
How about the twrp284-e980-untested_04.img ?
[LG Optimus G Pro] hitekredneck:
And can you please supply the two logs that [MENTION=6079287]culot[/MENTION] mentioned in his last post?
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
I have doubts whether they had time to take if TWRP didn't completely boot. But, maybe they? They'd be at 'TWRP/logs' on your internal storage if it worked: one titled dmesg.log and one titled last_kmsg.log.
[LG Optimus G Pro] yijinsa:
Can't boot into recovery how can I get log
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
I set it up so TWRP automatically tries to save two logs when it opens. Check under your TWRP/logs folder on your internal storage. If the 'logs' folder even exists, it means that the recovery got at least as far as trying to save the logs, which means something...

EDIT:

And check out the 'syslog' app from the Play Store: use it directly after your failed attempt to boot into TWRP, specifically checking an option for 'last_kmsg' if possible.

I'm going to put these into the flashable ZIPs in the future (tomorrow), as to eliminate the possibility of a bum flash.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hitekredneck:
.04 booted into recovery fine when Flashify requested permission to do so.
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
Maybe I *didn't* have the fstab wrong then, or maybe those two added thermal libs are causing issue? That's the only things I changed in 05. I'll toss it on the barbie again tomorrow and see what time it is, hopefully with a couple logs in hand. :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] yijinsa:
I am back to 2.8.1 already, will try again .thanks for hard work .
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
Still might be worth it to check on your internal storage to see if there are any logs in the TWRP/logs folder. :) Or to report back if the 'logs' folder *exists* -- just that it exists means that the TWRP got *that* far, far enough to *try* to save logs. It's meaningful info, even if no logs were saved.

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------

The version you flashed also should have tried to save logs -- anything in your 'TWRP/logs' folder? Surely that directory exists, as yours booted fine, but if it did or didn't save logs would be valuable info, too.
[LG Optimus G Pro] yijinsa:
flash again ,it boot fine at this this I don't know why .???? here is log I took from advance menu http://pastebin.com/3qZ2yLWQ
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
Thank you! Please check the TWRP/logs directory! That's where the good logs are, or use that app I mentioned from the app store maybe also? A dmesg log would go with that log perfectly.

EDIT:

Well, it looks like my script to automatically save logs didn't run, so the TWRP/logs directory probably doesn't exist. Though that DMESG log will be there, and it will be *huge* and packed with info, cuz I tweaked it to log as much as possible. Just do the dmesg like in that link above.

EDIT MORE:

Have you noticed if your external SD card works? Just curious. It should, but is good to know.

Also, I've wangled my brother into bringing his E980 over this weekend for me to tinker with, so by Sunday night this recovery will be working 100% bug-free. I'll add f2fs support also, as that seems like it should be easy to add to the kernel -- though you'd need a ROM that also has a kernel that supports f2fs. I'll make the kernel a Lollipop one, so you can also use it with any Lollipop CM ROMs (I can't recommend BlissPop enough -- latest version is wow). f2fs should make for an appreciable speed increase.
[LG Optimus G Pro] yijinsa:
There is no directory twrp log
[LG Optimus G Pro] hitekredneck:
No logs folder or logs inside the TWRP folder. I am going to try the latest version and see how I fare with it. If problems I will pull logs and report back one way or the other.
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
Thanks! Pulling a dmesg log would be most useful, so I could see why my log script didn't work. Also be cool if 05 fixed the missing backup/restore choices. Booyah.

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 PM ----------

I thought so, my script has utterly failed. It looks like the postrecovery script didn't run at all, which is an easy fix. I changed that up completely and must have missed a parameter.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hitekredneck:
OK, wish I hadn't done that. Flashed .05 then attempted a reboot into recovery from Flashify, would not boot into recovery. So booted into BlissPop and checked the TWRP folder for logs, nothing there. I was determined to get t booted so I tried a reboot into recovery from the shutdown menu to see if I would have better results. This time it did show the TWRP splash screen for a few seconds before rebooting and when it did it rebooted right back to TWRP screen again then rebooted again ..... you get the picture, a TWRP bootloop and now no getting into Android. I have tried pulling the battery to no avail, always TWRP splash screen and reboot. What to do now, know any tricks to get me into Android so that I can reflash 2.8.1.0 with Flashify? I don't think I can do anything ADB with the constant recovery boot loop.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hitekredneck:
I can get into download mode by holding vol up + vol down and plugging the USB cable into the PC with the battery out. Where to go from here once download mode is obtained? Can I flash the TWRP 2.8.1.0 img file in download mode, or must I go through the whole process of going back to stock and move forward from there?
[LG Optimus G Pro] yijinsa:
I got same issue ,but I just used flashily flash back to 2.8.1
[LG Optimus G Pro] hitekredneck:
I can't use Flashify. I can't boot into android or recovery. Just keeps looping between LG logo and TWRP logo.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ricco333:
The only thing you can do from download mode is flash stock using LG Flashtools. I feel your pain, a recovery bootloop is frustrating.

Good luck and patience

Erik
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
Ah hell, that blows. The next one I'll put in a flashable ZIP, I don't trust Flashify. Supposedly it tries to Loki-patch the images if it thinks it needs it, and I wonder if it sees my Bumped images as needing assistance? Hmm. I'm sorry your stuff's all fuct. :( But I do appreciate your bravery in testing this. :) It's so close now.

As far as I know there's no way to do anything manually in Download Mode. There *is* a way to remove download mode, by wiping whatever partition it resides on. With the LG G2 and Volt it resides on the 'laf' partition, and by wiping it you have access to Fastboot mode instead of Download Mode, and to restore download mode you need to flash a copy of that laf.img (which you'd save before you wiped the laf partition). But Fastboot allows you to dynamically flash stuff when you can't get into recovery or Android.

Anyway, I'm so sorry your stuff's all fuct.

Elsewise:

I just got done working on my brother's e980 with this and found much to fix, though I am surprised how well a lot of it works. Apparently there's a kernal panick going on that disrupts recovery of a backup, but the backup itself seemed to work fine the 2nd time I tried it: the 1st time it spontaneously rebooted (another kernel panick no doubt).

About the backup/restore/mount options being missing in v04: that was because I had the fstab copied wrong, those all work in v05.

The first time I booted into TWRP--the 05 version--it that where it rebooted itself, though it didn't go back in to TWRP but booted into Android. The next time I reboot into TWRP it came up fine, and seemed to work fine until I tried to do that first backup. After I booted back into TWRP though, everything worked fine. I wiped all the usual partitions multiple times, I mounted and unmounted and remounted over and over, I installed BlissPop 1.8 without a hitch.

SELinux stuff seems to be solid, and the thermal-engine and healthd are functioning (need to tweak parameters though).

Still poring over the logs now -- I've got extensive comparative logs of 2.8.1, 2.8.4, and Android system logs. It seems like it's mainly the instability issues that are the problem now, that and tweaking the thermal engine parameters. After that's under control this baby should function flawlessly. It's got to be something simple, something in the defconfig maybe. Going to work on it now.

EDIT:

Have you tried the buttons that enter the Factory Reset mode? Isn't it all the buttons at once? I don't remember the e980's button-holding ways. That is a back way into TWRP, and it won't actually do a factory reset, as I've disabled TWRP's access to the 'misc' partition.

EDIT MORE:

Did you accidentally flash the recovery.img to the boot partition? I know Flashify gives you the option of where to place your .IMG. If you flashed it to the boot partition it would try to boot into the recovery instead (and with a fully-functional recovery it would boot into it fine).

Can you get *any* kind of ADB connect while it's trying to boot into TWRP? if you could slip in a 'adb reboot bootloader' before it rebooted again, that might skip past that. Maybe?
[LG Optimus G Pro] hitekredneck:
It seems I dodged the bullet this time around. Got to thinking of tricks I had not tried and decided to try booting it again while pressing the vol down button as it was trying to load twrp. That got me into twrp where I flashed a stable recovery, reflashed BlissPop 1.8 and gapps and now I am booting normally again. Let me know when you have another version for testing.
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
What a relief! I'm glad you avoided the dreaded stockflash. :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] hitekredneck:
Yeah, me too. I really dreaded going back to stock, if even for a few minutes. Lol

On 4.1.2 used flashify touch screen is responsive in android but in recovery twrp 2.8.1.0 screen is not responding? how do i fix this?
[LG Optimus G Pro] hitekredneck:
I have no advice for you if on 4.1.2. It has been a long time since I was on that version of android. If you are still on that version I personally would stay with twrp 2.6 as this version is geared more towards lollipop builds of android.
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
There used to be a bug with the TWRP 2.6 that came with FreeGee that did that, and you could get around it by booting into the Factory Reset (I forget which keys to hold when you turn the phone on to get there). It will ask if you want to factory reset, you say yes, and it boots into TWRP and somehow the touchscreen works. I'm pretty sure it didn't actually perform a factory reset, but that was on v2.6 via Freegee, dunno about v2.8. Could be worth trying, but I'd recommend reinstalling the 2.81 first.
[LG Optimus G Pro] winlin.droidrzr:
I fixed it by reinstalling from clean state of 4.1.2 used freegee installed twrp 2.6 then install cm11 and then flashed 2.8.1.0 then rebooted and wiped data,cache,dalvik,system and flashed blisspop 1.9 :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] yijinsa:
Any update coming soon ?
[LG Optimus G Pro] SaidJan:
I have kk att, rooted.

Does the file in post one work?

What is the latest TWRP version I can install without being worried.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hitekredneck:
If you are currently running a stock based ROM it is recommended that you use Flashify from the Play Store to flash one of the three IMG files in the downloads section of the first post. If you are already running a custom ROM that is based on CM source you can flash the ZIP file that is located in the downloads section of the first post.
[LG Optimus G Pro] dest4b:
hi,

i have selected External SD as Backup target. The backup starts and all seems to be fine..

it needs some minutes. the progressbar is moving to 100% and no errors.

if i look on my SD card in the folder /Storage/external_SD/TWRP there is nothing in it.

Also in /storage/emulated/legacy/TWRP are no files / folders.

i use this version. unofficial-twrp-2.8.1.0-PLAY-e980-geefhd.img

thanks
[LG Optimus G Pro] culot:
I've been diverted a bit, learning more about kernel dev stuff, but I'm back on track now, and that knowledge is helpful. I've got a couple of prototypes ready to test, and a couple more to build tomorrow. So sometime tomorrow or Sunday I'm going to gank my brother's e980 and roll the dice. I think the main issue I was having before was to do with SELinux contexts, as right before the kernel panic I had the auditor was avc denying *everything*. I've been doing selinux research, but have not yet got a hang on it.

Still though, I should have a fully-functional recovery by the time the weekend is out--hopefully with full f2fs support (that part is easy enough).

I spent a great deal of time trying to disable all the unnecessary features, like WLAN, NFC, Bluetooth, etc. But I think it'll take a lot of custom hacking to get the networking stuff disabled, as it has it's tentacles all over. Camera is disabled though, which is nice as it put out a steady stream of errors, and seemed to cause some odd never-ending loops (not just in my builds, but in *all* the other builds I've tried). No use wasting resources on stuff that isn't going to be used, ya know.

I've got more tweaking to do to the thermal handling, having the kernel handle it. Also these builds should be markedly faster at everything, as the governor was limiting the processor majorly and unnecessarily.

Anyways, I think once I lick the SELinux audit 'avc denied' issues, this thing is 100% go.

---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 PM ----------

After that happens go and grab a 'recovery.log', then post that up. Maybe finagle one of these too. That ain't right.

EDIT -- The following Tuesday:

No device to test on for now, sorry. :) Maybe if I can find a cheapo cracked-display copy on Ebay or something...

I'm running lollipop blisspop 2.0 right now on my e980. Just curious if the zip file for twrp still works as I'm using cwm right now and twrp is much better. Multiple zip flashes, ect.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hitekredneck:
Flashable zip should work fine for you since you are already on a cm based ROM. Flashing multiple zip files works, I always flash ROM and GApps together and have no problems.

[General Questions and Answers] memae008:
guys .. i wanted to ask you something if what is the most effective way to decrease my ram usage cause it almost reaches 700 mb .. please help .. :(
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
If you're rooted, you can use Greenify to hibernate apps that you want accessible, but not necessarily running in the background.

Samsung's TouchWiz is a heavy ROM, and there's probably a lot of features that are running that you don't use. Turn them off in settings, hibernate them with Greenify, or disable them entirely in your app manager.

Other than that, just leave it be. Apps that you use frequently you want to keep running in the background, and yes, taking up RAM. This way they quickly load. Apps running in the background don't drain your battery significantly, but loading them up every time you want to use them because you've killed them with a task manager does.

Don't obsess over RAM usage. RAM is there to be used.

[Java for Android App Development] CROSP:
Hi, I am trying to play music in background while making a call. So I mean that while speaking I need ability to play music in background using buzzer(main speaker) ,so the another person on the line could hear the music from the speaker. I have been studying Android API , but didn't find anything, that allows me to do this. I have tried services, but this also doesn't work.

I have found similar questions but there is no any solutions. Also I don't need ability to hear person on the other end of line, so I don't need to use earpiece(speaker). I need to use only microphone and buzzer(ringer).

Is there any way to do this using default API . Or there is no such feature at all available on Android Platform. Maybe there is any way to do this using native interface and system calls or something else. or at worst to modify ROM or Android OS or Kernel.

I don't need really solution(it would be great of course) in code , I need just direction where to start. Maybe there is easy way to do this , so I don't want to reinvent the wheel.

I would be grateful for any answers and suggestions about this question.
