As you may or may not be aware, I have been working on get CWM Recovery working on the Gen9's and basically make the layout of the Filesystems etc reflect some sort of Android Standard, In SDE mode at least. This is coming along nicely and I should be ready to kick out a Early Beta in the Next Couple of Weeks.
I would like to gather some input on any additional options people who like to see in CWM, Basically CWM Recovery Comes with a standard set of features but they maybe options that you have found useful on Device's you have had in the past etc.
I already plan to make it possible to boot into all modes on the device, that Archos Recovery, Archos Android, SDE Android and SDE CWM Recovery.
So Yeah, Give me Ideas and I'll seen If I can accomadate them
NOTE: Obviously We are just getting started on this and alternative recoveries will come in time, TWRP for example but one thing at a time eh :good:

Okay, Here's a currently "wishlist" of feature I think would be quite useful
Archos Specific Features
Include Stock Repair and Recovery Options
Include Stock Developer Edition Options
Reboot to Stock Recovery Option as a Fail Safe.
Reboot Stock Android
Flash Archos aos update
Upgrade Existing SDE Images to new structure
An the list goes on.....
Print system Properties
Print dmesg
Resize Partitions
Manage FS Image Location ( mainly nice to have on HDD Version I suppose )
Backup to Sparse Image ( I'm sure CWM5 Nandroid did this with ext4 partitions, god knows why they changed to a default choice between tar archives or dup differential blobs, What If I just a single portable file for my data partition backup!! )
Start Fastboot support ( could be useful for flash images rather the 'ffing around with edify scripts and update zips )
Power Off ( Suprisingly not include by default )
Full Touch Support with on screen keyboard and command line
I think those features will do nicely but If anyone has anymore then get involved!

The nandroid backup interests me a lot... its always nice to be able to "return" to when it was working if anything breaks.
Im watching this thread with interest good luck!!

Maybe an ability to mount the whole system through usb? So one could DD clone the whole memory chip to PC. That could recover some bricks.

I'm not sure if this would be actually usefull for flash partitions (one-time update.zip flashing should be enough)

Hi There,
I think, You've got your wires crossed None of this is related to letama CWM Recovery./ If you haven't already you may want to have a read of this thread in the development section I won't go into details here because It's all in there!
I well aware of how fastboot works but to supporting the fastboot protovol allows the same workflow when it come to work with the AOSP source as any over device. which is
Build Rom
Flash the Partitions with fastboot
Reboot Into Rom.
???
Profit
When you control both ends of the conversation, We are free to do as we please.

Any news ... are there any files to do some testing?

First let me say that this is my first app. I wrote it so people could do quick backups of partitions without having to muddle around in a terminal emulator to do it. You just select a partition and click start dump.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I wrote it with the YP-G70 in mind. It should? work with other devices as well.
Basically this app just wraps some console commands so you don't have to type everything out.
Usage
1. Select partition from the top drop down.
2. Check the file size of the partition to make sure that the Output Location has enough space.
3. Tap "Start Dump"
Note: large partitions will take some time (Be patient)
Note: It should be OK to press home and do other things while MDump is working but I have not fully tested.

Seems useful. Will test it .
It does basically a "dd" dump to a file?
Yup

This wouldn't work for the 4.0, right?
I think I recall it has a diferent partition layout.
It "should" work for just about any device. Give it a try and let us know!
The "partitions" are read from the device dynamically.
OK, forgive my noobishness, but how do I know which partition is what (ex. which one is factoryfs. rfs ?)?

That's a good question. I have mapped out the US YP-G70 in another post.
[INFO] US SGP5 YP-G70CWY/XAA Partitions map (tentative)
I also wrote about how I did it. From what I have read, the G1 is more like the Galaxy S. Well, that is the impression that I got anyways (could be way off).
Hmm, I press start in your app, it does the loading circle for a split second, then it just goes back to the select screen. I guess it doesn't work for some reason.

That's what I did on my mine... So It should work with yours as well.
Anyway we could have the source code to this?
I put the source in a github repo. it's in my signature...

So this could work as a backup for everything you have on your player?
Yes, it could... CWM nandroid backups would probably be a better solution in most cases but if you know what your doing you could use dd in adb shell to restore the partitions that you have dumped.
Yeah but the problem is that when i press flash clockwork mod recovery in the rom manager it doesnt show the galaxy player
This device is not yet compatible with Rom Manager but you can get CWM by flashing an appropiate kernel, either Entophy512's or rumirand's if you have the 5.0.

Supertool for Nook Tablet

Alright, this thread is going to be dedicated to "Nooky" the supertool. What this script will do, is multiple things. Reset to factory firmware (exploit the /factory partition / bootcount.), Root, fix broken recoveries, and with root comes all of the mods for stock that I came up with. This is so then we can have everything in one tool without worrying about certain things. (also, after root, it could also install CWM recovery.)
Instructions:
I suggest that you have some kind of root shell. Either by using the adb hijack app I made found here or by being in recovery.
Extract the zip, and click "Nooky.bat" Ignore all other files, just click "Nooky" not nook and zergy. Nooky. Just needed to clarify. Anyway, then you just go through the menus and choose what you want. Enjoy.
*Note, you need to have an adb shell running as root on some of these options. So you may want to be booted into recovery off sd or something.
Features:
Root (includes nook and zergy script)
Md5sum check for recovery images.
Recovery flashers (root only.)
Reboot menu (Android and Recovery)
Reset nook to factory state (including /system and boot.) {8 failed boots method}
Auto device checker
More to come (maybe)
Download, screenshots, and changelog will be in 2nd post.

Thanks, it would be great if that tool has an ablility to resize the system partition of NT,
at the moment, users are only able to access 1GB via usb and repartitioning process is pretty complicated.
since there are CWM recovery img floating around the forum we can just reflash that after we repartition.
Very cool!
psh, seems more like a discussion thread >.> lol, J/k Will post video when made.
when you say install recovery, is this stock or CWM? If it is CWM, might I suggest a restore to stock flash as another option? or the reverse?
Other suggestions- stock image flasher? Stock image checker? check mounting of SD card? is it possible to use this tool to force people to boot from SD card by choosing an option here?
Just thoughts.
seems a good tool!

We should have full use of the storage on the Nook Tablet after the next release of the CM7 ROM that Celtic, Gonce and Indirect are working on, without changing partitions at all.
Repartitioning is kinda dangerous with these things, it's not like repartitioning an SD card or a PC. This tool is for prepping/rooting/factory-resetting a nook tab, among other things. I think it's going to be pretty important as a recovery/prep tool when everyone's flashing ROMs to their NTs.
Mike is right. Also, fixed a small bug.
Sorry i don't understand only one think (i hope), To use this supertool, i have to install adb and usbdriver?
Sorry for the stupid question? but i not sure
i want to buy NT, but first, i want know how to root it?
Thanks

Toolkit Ideas

So I made the base of my toolkit. Just waiting on a recovery to finish it. Now I want some ideas to add/implement/make it better.
Many people know that I make toolkits for basically every new HTC phone. Here is the sample for the One X+ at the moment.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Things I will NOT add.
- Stock/Custom Kernels
- Remove Root
- Probably more that I forgot
Many people flashed kernels and had no idea on how to use it and soft-bricked their phones.
Root can be removed with the SuperSU app from my toolkit.
So give reasonable recommendations and I will see what I can do!
Hey hasoon,
under "kernel" maybe "fastboot erase cache" as it comes hand after flashing boot.img (or directly in flash command for boot.img, if it's not already there)
and eventually "adb logcat -d >log.txt" under "command". Just for the lazy among us .

Would be happy to help but I don't know how flashing on the one x+ looks like as I don't have one(for the moment). But when I'll have passed the two weeks of stock rom limits testing and will flash another rom, then I'll see if they are improvements to do .

flashing is the same with all phones. download a ROM, transfer to your phone, go into recovery and flash. Rooting is the same for pretty much all modern HTC phones.

Thanx!!
I've used your toolkit, and I have to say it is pretty awesome work. However, as a first time user, I was rather confused with the UI, since it looked like there was no real 'order' labelled on each section, they aren't labelled like "Step 1, 2.. etc". Otherwise, the tool works great.
Might be more a project rather than a option but Rom Downloader? or adb sideload, handy when you format your sd

ROM downloader is another story. I don't have a centralized database with all the ROMs. I'm adding ADB Sideload as we speak!
I'm redoing my scripts to make this even better! It isn't easy and I probably won't have it done tonight. My goal is to have it done by tonight! However, I never had these features before, so I'm learning how to implement them without errors!
Here's a sample of the new addition!
Make some requests. I'll see what I can do!
Features will vary from device to device. The Amaze does not need an ADB Sideload feature. I'm using my Amaze source to mess with the new add ons.
This will not be done tonight. It's taking a lot of time to write this and it's giving me some errors.

[Q] How do I make a custom boot logo (yes LOGO not animation)

I've seen countless tutorials for different phones/tablets and I want to know more specifically how to do it for a TB, considering I don't want to brick my phone. And I know there are a bunch of them floating around but there has only ever been one that I truly liked and I can't find it anywhere, so I'll make my own. This is what I had in mind...

Cuz who doesn't love Dr. Harleen Quinzel?
I've already got the image in the correct resolution (480x800) and have successfully converted it to both RAW and RLE formats but haven't the slightest clue where to go from there.

Ok, that much I can understand but I don't know how to do that. It's like I said I have the image in PNG, RAW and RLE formats but no clue where to go from there. I know I'm supposed to make a boot.img somehow but that's where I'm stuck.
Take the boot.img from the rom you want to use it on and use the python script for splitting boot images. There is a guide for it on the interwebs. There is another method to flash it through fast boot but I am not sure how to package the file to make it ready for a fast boot flash. I know for a fact there are guides all over the place making splash screens.

I have seen countless guides but not a single one that references the TB and I don't want to take the risk in doing something that was specifically said to work on some other device. I have used the split_bootimg.pl to split the boot.img but that doesn't seem to help me at all as it just gives me boot.img-kernel and boot.img-ramdisk.gz, neither giving any indication towards a PNG, RAW or RLE file
The principal behind inserting a splash image is the same for all devices that use a boot.img.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
Well I found this and it's pretty straight forward and to the point although I dislike it being specifically made for Windows considering in my experience it's impossible to get fastboot working in Windows 8. Ultimately you can use the above on Linux so long as you have Wine installed. I'm gonna try to port the batch script into something usable in Linux, if I succeed I'll post the results here.
Well I wrote a bash script now so anyone else looking for info go here

the exact command for a LOGO would be
here again I use Root Terminal for everything so I have no idea if it requires it or not
# adb reboot (this is if you are in the OS already)
# fastboot devices (make sure it's connected properly)
# fastboot flash splash1 'image.*' (can be anything in the RAW fomat BUT most conform to the 480x800 format)
# fastboot reboot (gives you a full reboot with the new image)
also.... I have a tutorial on how to flash images here

Be aware , I'am not responsible for any damage or problems you may incounter, so only do this if you really feel comfortable with it & you know about the risks!​
​
Intro :
This ROM based on zyrex cm11 kernel, ported from pyramid.
Main purpose of this rom , to make (phone layout ) portrait as default orientation ( nexus 7 wannabe ).
No more Black Screen when rotate to 180, now you can freely rotate to any direction.
Change navbar position to bottom in landscape mode, not stick on the right side, on phone layout.
Bluetooth A2dp ok, No jumbled jigsaw in recent apps.
Quick launch shortcuts set to "none" by default, use other similar apps
Because of my limitless knowledge, this rom is far away from perfection
Installation Guide
1. Download the Rom zip file .
2. put the zip on your sd card.
3. Switch off your phone and reboot into twrp recovery.
4. Wipe > Advance wipe > [ davlik,system,cache,data ].
---thick mark internal storage if you want clean installation---.
5. Flash the rom zip file.
7. Reboot the system and you are good to go.
Booting process takes about 3 - 5 minutes after first reboot.
then update SU binary

You should link your Rom again.
The only reason from zyr3x is to earn money with bis Rom. 10 Dollar .
He sells Software and breaks xda rules and cm-rules.
His threads where closed by admins.
He uses open source but does not share his code!
Why should you listen to him and delete the download ?
It is free and open source ! It is cm !
I think you should not cooperate...
@zyr3x
it is not ok what you are doing. i can understand that you need money (who not), but cm is OPEN SOURCE and has his rules !!
I have this build

I would like the rom as well. I have a very old version installed.
This mod is actually the first since the 4.4.2 based ones without the Webview bug and the self destruction feature requiring frequent wipes and reinstalls.
It has one major issue, preventing installation of all apps using the Google Maps library, except Google Maps itself.

Sorry for the german text, but u get the idea: Two files from a GAPPS zip belong into two system folders. I didn't use ADB, but performed it locally with Total Commander for unzipping and copying. Attributes don't have to be altered. Reboot advisable.
thanks for the fix but... how about the rom itself?
Since it seems that it does not exist a decent and functional custom ROM for this table, at least it exist a way for going back to Stock ROM after TWRP?
