Never use MAC

yeah i was flashing on my e970, don't know why it complained...
anyway, it's waaay nicer to use than the stock cwm that i had.
i was trying to restore a rom yesterday, but it froze during data restore. do you have any ideia what happened?

Anybody go from TWRP to this? I'd love to know how well it works with the TWRP backups (which it should handle, right?). I'm sure I'll check it out anyway, but just wanted to see.

Can I ask someone if this recovery has the ability to.mount the internal storage onto a pc... ?

Was wondering if there is a way to speed up backup and restore process... Took 50 min to backup and an hour to restore a nandroid... Love the options of this recovery... Sk8's cwm restored and did backups in 10min

This recovery does not play nice with CyanogenMod update script.

Aroma works for me and backups finish in a matter of minutes, everything working fine for me.

Updater scripts issues are related to scripts not checking for e970 as device name

disable compression if enabled
disable size progress
All is under Misc Nandroid Settings
If you have and exfat card, it is slower than TWRP as CWM misses caching writes for now, but it is more stable maybe...

Still cant write to build.prop
Anyone managed to write to build prop?
Why does it say unfortunately app n shortcut has stop...is that a bug..
So how can i edit the build prop if it doesn't seem to save it? I'm on this kernel and i think system is still not writing. Anyone got this working?? Please do tell us how?

I just changed it to Galaxy Nexus by using Root Explorer and it worked correctly.
Be sure you are on the latest kernel, as it is the only one that allows writing to /system while booted into android.

I can confirm that editing build prop does work and stick on reboot. Was able to make photosphere stop working and start working again as a test.
You may have to reboot one more time. After installing it I updated superuser and it had a read/write error. After rebooting it is fine.
And once again my phone hates any kernel that's out beside stock. I wonder what's the problem that my phone hasn't been able to run without freezing and rebooting

This is good news ! now all we need is some cyanogenmod and aokp and well be set
It's this s-off or a workaround?

According to the developer, neither. IDK, it seems like we can pretty much do anything now.
I posted a "stock" version. For those who cannot seem to run anything else without driving me nuts, um, I mean without problems. :laugh:

Most unlock methods do not keep us from writing to /system, this fixes that for us.

***Updated*** Ink Effect 18 Colors for AT&T AMDL Deodexed

I started to work on the ink effect for the S4...
Requirements: you must be on the latest version which is "AMDL" and deodexed and have the latest recovery installed..
I have tested this on two different devices both running P-ROM.. One unit normal kernal and the other running ktoonsez kernel.
Now with 18 color choices and I fixed the menu layout as well...
It's compatible with Nottach's Xposed as well.. If you are running any other customs rom this could break some features that are in that rom...
Installing this will also give you the long press menu to kill function and 4way reboot...
I will be improving on some of the colors in the next update ex: making pink a little darker and pinker...
I will also be looking at the ink flow to see if I can increase it...
Install using your favorite recovery and as always make sure you backup your system before installing...
Have fun!!!!
On initial boot if your lock screen is black just swipe it to unlock and you are good to go.
Ink 18 Colors For S4
Not responsible for bricked units.. Follow the directions and you will be good to go.

No. I forgot to. I removed it though. All I did was take the files that were in your mod from the rom I was using and replaced them with the stock ones. BTW your mod is working great except for the color flash thing. Keep up the good work.

Just flashed this on my AT&T S4. After flashing I cleared Dalvik cache and cache. Rebooted and immediately had an error message saying "Unofrtunately the process TouchWiz Home has stopped working). I then proceeded to turn on the ink effect but every time I selected something in settings, I would get the same error message about TouchWiz Home not working. Good thing I made a backup before installing!
Really hoping the bugs get worked out as I miss this mod from my GS3. Adding the water drip sounds for lock and unlock would go nicely with this
BTW, I'm on Nottach's P-ROM with stock kernel.

When I flash this, it boots to a popup that says something like "not starting app" or "do not start app" or something and stays on that. I have to factory reset to boot.
Any suggestions?

Install button does not work on 4.2.2

Hello. Was wondering if anyone knows why (or if you have even heard of) the install button will not work when going to install an .apk? I can hit the cancel button and I can just move the apk into system/app and that works. Just can't manually install an app. No matter what I do the install button will not work. Any ideas? I'm using houstonn's personal PA halo phase 4 build 4.2.2. I'm sure it could be just a bug and nothing I can really do but was hoping there was some kind of trick like when getting into dev options or something like that. Thanks in advance

You didn't enable the ability to install from u known sources. It's in developer options or security, i don't remember exactly. I just do it without thinking on clean flashes so tibu will work.

You cant just install system apps anyway. They must always be pushed to system/app.

That's normal if you didn't create it, it doesn't mean your phone melted or anything. Proceed as normal.

I installed Busybox Free, so I think this will work?
*EDIT: It won't get superuser privledges, so it doesn't work. I know almost everything works with TWRP, but will this, since it was originally from a different forum?
*EDIT 2: I'm happy to confirm this works, both with TWRP and 4.2.2 ROMs (Well, at least Vanilla Rootbox)

Nope. You could try editing the thermald file to throttle the cpu when it gets too hot if you're worried about it.

Hey is your phone going into deep sleep when this is enabled?
After I installed this (I did the APK method, for some reason the .zip wasn't downloading.) my settings app closes on launch.
I can still go Menu Key > Lock/Home Screen Settings to get into the app, but I can't even use All Settings.
I uninstalled the app, but the problem is still there. Any ideas?
