[Mod] 4-in-1 Reboot Menu - Updated for 3.70 OTA ROMS

Ok guys... this is my port to the 4-in-1 Reboot Menu made by sqn- for the HTC Desire and DesireHD.
Hot Restart basically lets u guys restart the phone in less then 10 seconds instead of going through the full boot cycle.
This should work on any DeOdexed rom that has busybox installed and was made from the new android.policy.jar file that came with the 3.70 OTA update.

}
Please note that this is based off of the icons that are in com.htc.resources apk from the 3.70 OTA and if someone themed them a little different or using a different com.htc.resources apk file for their theme the icons might look different than the picture.
It is a relatively easy fix to make if u happen to end up in one of those situations... so let me know and ill try to help when i can.
Link to zip is attached... Have fun.
p.s.
i changed the icon for the reboot menu... so it doesnt look exactly like the pic.

nand backup complete, flash update zip complete... rebooting now... will update here w/ findings....
UPDATE: Works great w/ setup in my sig! Awsome Work! Now I can use that spot in switchpro widget for something else! lol

a tiny tip...
next time.... instead of a nand backup... since it is only one file and nothing more.
simply use adb:
1. adb remount
2. adb pull /system/framework/android.policy.jar /where ever u wanna save it.
and flash... if anything goes wrong u can always push the file u had back to replace.

Off topic here, but where did you get your battery icon with the percentages? Can that be flashed with the new Fresh ROM (based on 3.30 leaked ROM) and can you share?

its the icons that konikub made and i redid them with numbers and a little bit of improved quality.
thats a part of the theme i have on my rom.
i will probably put up a stand-alone version of my theme soon for anyone who likes the theme but wanna stick to a different rom.
if u want only the batt icons... u need to look inside my framework-res.apk for them... and hopefully fresh uses a framework-res that has batt percent on and u can simply replace the images.
if u dont know how to do that i can be of much help cuz although its simple to do im sure u can find a how-to in the forum somewhere.

Awesome now I can get rid of Quick Boot.
Love replacing widgets and apps with flashed mods

Same here. Thanks for this!

what rom r u on?
if u on an older rom than it might not work... i never checked...
also, try wiping cache and dalvik and try again.

REMOVED....

thanks man..... downloading now to try on the newest fresh rom
Edit..... works great on newest fresh

Bummer. Can't get it to work on Calk's new EViO 1.5.
Edit: Nvm, I'm stoopid. Didn't realize you had to select 'reboot' to get the reboot options.

Anybody know how to create a shortcut to this on the home screen?

Thanks aamikam !

i think myn already had it ported to his rom a few weeks ago if im not wrong...
but anyways... i can see why it wont work with his rom.
initially i tried to pull off his port of it from his rom... but no go.... then i realized that he was using something else cuz my whole phone started acting up... so i went to the original page of the 4-in-1 boot menu and just did it myself with the new jar file from 3.30.
of course i had to switch some icons around cuz every image has its on unique id # and from phone to phone it might change.
im not sure what happens when u say its not working though... what does happen? does anything change?

Is it supposed to wipe data when flashing this? I stupidly didn't do a nandroid before flashing and had to re-setup everything. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention when I went to wipe the cache in recovery, don't know.
Anyway, the reboot menu is working fine in Fresh 3.4, I just had to set my stuff back up.

the update script in the zip doesn't even clear cache ... it just copy's over the old android.policy.jar file thats inside /system/framework...
so i really can't see why u would need or needed to set up everything again.

Hm. I probably just fat-fingered it when I was wiping the cache, then. Weird. It works though, so thanks.

[FAQ] Flashing UPDATE.ZIP the old fashioned way (How and Did It Work?)

I put together a diagram image showing how the file structure for how to take the various update.zip files to flash your rom or add functionality not obtainable via apk files or market. It was suggested we have a faq using this image to describe this process. I have only done this 3 times so I hope this is correct!
The basic thing it needs to explain is:
1. how to load up the filesystem with the update zip file and command file
Here is a diagram that shows either of the 2 methods to make this work, you can download zip files from Viewsonic's TNT page and just rename them to update.zip (then you have to create the recovery folder and command file), or you can download files here, some are rar'd which means the actual zip has been zipped/rar'd again, just extract it out, and if there are no recovery/command, you have to create them. A trick I use is to have this structure already defined on my laptop as a staging area, then I can just copy over a zip and a folder over to my device or sdcard.
I personally don't know how all this works, I believe the device first looks to the microSD card first for the recovery command file, then over to the internal storage for the same, but I could be wrong.
NOTE 1: Just make sure that if you use the external sd card, you have the correct command file notation (SDCARD2 not SDCARD).
NOTE 2: There are TWO dashes at the start of the command file contents, the image doesn't show it well (--update_package=SDCARD:/update.zip) or (--update_package=SDCARD2:/update.zip)
NOTE 3: This command file has NO file suffix, it is a text file, but make sure it is named command
NOTE 4: After a recovery is invoked, the process will have removed your command file (whether it was successful or not), and you will have to replace it when you are ready to flash again. A trick you might like is to copy the command file to command.bak, and each time you want to flash, just copy the bak file to command so you don't have to upload it each time. It is safest just to recopy the update.zip and command files back into their respective places each time you plan on reattempting recovery, just to make sure both files have the appropriate content.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. how to boot into recovery
Power down the unit. Once it has gone blank, press and hold the Vol +, then press and hold the power button
3. how do you know recovery is booting up (Text at the top of the screen)
You should see tiny text in the upper left that says "Detect a Recovery Key Pressed", and then a 2nd line that reads "Recovery Image Detected", or something to that effect.
4. how do you know recovery did not see either the update.zip or command file or both (exclamation mark, plus no changes after reboot)
I have not personally hit this yet, but if you don't see a cardboard box logo in the middle of your screen with a progress bar at this point, chances are you have something incorrect. If you don't see any changes or see an exclamation point, then you don't have the filesystem exactly as described in the diagram in #1. Or your update.zip file isn't really the proper file, maybe you took a RAR file and just renamed it, etc. If you open the zip file, you should not see any zip files, but IMG files or BIN files or SYSTEM folders, etc.
Now, if you identify the issue and resolve it and are about to run another recovery cycle, take a look at #1 NOTE #4 above...
Hope this helps!

Thanks so much, this will be a time saver for us devs. A great reference for getting clockwork installed, or for people who don't want to use clockwork.

Stuck because it's worth it

Yeah, thanks.. Might keep me from answering the same question 52 bazillion times.....

you should add a note that the command file will be deleted after it has been run, regardless if the update occurred or not - always double check that the (correct) command file is there or you will get the exclamation point

Good point, I will add it. What folks could do (I have done this) is to make a file called command.bak, and you can just copy that to command every time you want to flash.

I understand and also know that some people like driving without tires too. Doing an update via OTA is way overrated. All I am saying is the benefits that can be gained by installing clockwork outweigh the negatives of not.
As soon as the OTA update comes out someone here will have the download location in seconds. That download can be installed from clockwork just like any other update file. Why Viewsonic doesn't just supply the file on there site is beyond me.
So... not running clockwork so you can wait for an update that comes every other month, or maybe never again versus having the security of easy to perform backups, the ability to easily install updates, fix the inevitable boot loop, mount storage, etc just doesn't make sense to me...

having a choice is better than not having a choice

I keep a complete library of files on a separate storage, and I only copy over what I want on the tablet. Just because you may like cwm,doesn't mean everybody does or will. This works just fine for me, and I am sticking with the stock OS until viewsonic stops supporting it, which means I wait for the ota updates.

And like the post above says.. Choice is good. If what you are doing works for you that's great.
It is not so much whether I like, or dislike clockwork. It is just a tool. For someone that buys a tablet, has no intention of doing anything but using it as it came, no clockwork is fine. But for those that want to keep the stock firmware but play around and add all the little updates, fixes, apps, or even play with all the other roms then I think you do yourself a disservice by not using clockwork. One of those things you do to your tablet will eventually end up in a bootloop. Or something you installed will not work and you will want to revert back to what you had before. You can't fix that with the stock recovery, but you can do it with clockwork.
Not trying to start an argument. I just see many advantages to using it versus not.
I think a lot of people don't want to use it because they are afraid of breaking there tablet. Installing a lot of different things available here, and other places is much more scary... And without a viable backup, or recovery method can be a real pain to fix.
Wanting to keep your tablet stock is fine. But if you bought a car that came stock with no brakes, I guess you could drive it. But if there was a really simple method to add brakes to augment your feet wouldn't you want them? Maybe not.. But I do...
I am glad you took the time to write this guide. Even though it is listed all over these forums how to do what you wrote it seems people don't read much anymore. So hopefully it will help some folks...

I've only used the latest version, but have noticed a behavior not covered here:
rather than deleting the /recovery/command file, it deletes the contents of the file. This seems to happen whether or not the update actually happens.

I can't remember on whether or not it happens when it doesn't actually run the update. However, it has always deleted the command file for me.

ClockworkMod Recovery not working

Hello all Im hoping someone can help me out. I have read many threads and followed all the tutorials available. I have a Captivate on stock 2.2. I want to install Cognition. I rooted the phone and installed rom manager. I installed Clockworkmod but when I boot into recovery it goes to the stock recovery screen. I tried to download clockworkmod and put it straight on the phone but when i select reinstall packages it says signature verification failed.

Same exact problem here. THEN I cleared cache, rebooted, fixed file privs, rebooted, and still, I can't take a backup. Is this a CWM barfs on Froyo thing? Every time I select Take a Backup, it boots into the main CWM menu "reboot/ clear user data/ reinstall packages/ format SD" and won't take a flippign backup!
I uninstalled ROM Mgr, re-installed from Market, used it to download latest CWM, same stuff all over again. I wanna take a backup!

wow, thanks for that. You're exactly right: it IS listed in 150,000 threads, though I'm not sure which one is supposed to help...or how I should have intuitively known my broken ROM Mgr is associated with the search text "recovery 3e"...?
Reading through MANY threads (in XDA and others) from googling "Captivate recovery 3e sig" it seems that 149,999 of the threads are belittling us noobs for not finding the 150,000th thread that actually tells you how to do something about it. Well, I still haven't found the 150,000th thread, and I'm still looking. Unless you have a phobia against repeating that 1 rare thread, or perhaps want to help, maybe you can confirm the following (w/o going lethal on me and tricking me into bricking my phone out of spite:
1. The 3e recovery means every zip will be checked for signatures, even if I tried to turn it off
2. This means I can't install new packages (I'm not trying to)
3 this ALSO MEANS I CAN'T TAKE A BACKUP??? (never found that thread)
4. Either way, I need to go back to 2e or get the modified 3e that doesn't check for signatures (that will help me take backups again HOW?
so I should follow the steps in "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213" and download " 3e_recovery_no_sig_check.zip" and then use terminal to:
1 enter command "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system"
2 copy the recovery file to /system/bin and replace the one there
3 reboot and you should have a modded 3e recovery with no signature verification
and then I can take backups again??

you should be given an option when you boot straight into recovery now....STOCK RECOVERY, and one of those options is REINSTALL PACKAGES

There were several options there, I chose "FIXING 3e:", "Method 2 (manual)", following the link there, which was the same exact link I first referenced few hours ago. copied over recovery [actually backed up first] then rebooted, just like it said. Go back to the first thread, and it says, "at this point you are ready to install cwm recovery via update.zip or rom manager and flash whatever you wish." I chose the via "rom manager" as I wished. then booted into recovery again, and... no backup option.
Obviously, I'm missing something between the lines in these posts, I followed them to the letter. Now, you can step up, act like a Sr member and help someone, or you can continue act like a little ****-flinging monkey, calling people 'retards'.
*ring* *ring* hello? Do you have any SENIOR Sr. Members? This one's acting a little immature...

welcome to the jungle kid. this has been posted time and time and time again
sooooooooo
in ROM manager, you FLASHED CLOCKWORK RECOVERY?
then it booted into STOCK RECOVERY and you hit REINSTALL PACKAGES?
then it rebooted back into STOCK RECOVERY and you hit REINSTALL PACKAGES again?
then....wait for it.....it boots to CLOCKWORKMOD

yesss it has and that is exactly what i did was re inst packages,what is this i hear about downloading the modded 3e recovery and using root exp to move it to system/bin (I downloaded the modded 3e but where can i find the system/bin file to move it to looked through my phone and didnt find it

Pirateghost said:
no
fail
you should be given an option when you boot straight into recovery now....STOCK RECOVERY, and one of those options is REINSTALL PACKAGES
if you have the update.zip from ROM manager on your /sdcard then all you have to do is hit reinstall packages, it will reboot to recovery and then hit reinstall packages AGAIN!
boom. you are in CWM where you can take your backup
now i know this has been typed half a million times on here because i typed it up more times than I can count......
Click to expand...

OK, that was somewhat helpful. Now I need to find the update.zip from CWM, I don't know if I have it laying around...or whether or not ROM Mgr woulda put it there. I actually tried the Re-install packages option, but perhaps there was no update.zip in place...
Now realize, that piece wasn't mentioned in those threads! Maybe you typed it so many times they're all running together in your head.

Ubuntu User - Rom help plz

Alright... i keep reading about this KIES deal... since its windows native, i cant install that.
So i need some help...
Im wanting to know how to load a flashing system... and which one...
then wanting to load Infused v1.
Im doing this all from Ubuntu 10.10
__________
Im already rooted, along with the current (stable) BusyBox loaded... so i got that far.
i just wanna know what i gotta do, cause everything seems to rely on this KIES deal, and i dont have that.
I guess im asking for a walk-through... if anyone is willing to help?

Kies is not required for what you want to do, but without knowing
if your Ubuntu OS can reconize your phone as an external USB
flash drive device and or if you have a microUSB card reader and a
microUSB memory card in your phone its difficult to tell you the
exact step by step way to flash roms to your phone.
I can help, but I do need to know these things first.

If you have all that just download the rom zip, place on SD, reboot into recovery, install zip from SD, choose the zip you desire and then select yes and wait .

first dont ask questions in dev
next kies does nothing but install drivers for the infuse. you.have ubuntu. you.dont need drivers.
what you need is cwm to flash roms and heimdall to return to stock.
google heimdall download. get the frontend package and the backend package and install. you may need to set permissions.as executable.
for.cwm the easiest way is to use heimdall to push a kernel to the.phone. download the comunity kernel. extract the .zip and place the zimage in the kernel slot in heimdall
the phone needs to be in download mode look it up.
alternatively yu can use sgs kernel flasher. get it in android market. that app is self explainatory.
there is another way we used before we had these cool custom kernels but i wont get into that.

op pm me if you have trouble. i run mint 10kde. its basdically identical to ubuntu kde edition. i havent run gnome in a while but i think i can still help.

I've used heimdall on my install of ubuntu and it works fairly well. 1.3.0 should be compatible with 10.10

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997R using XDA Premium App

hmm,. i just updated to heimdall 1.3.0 im not sure i like it.
i prefer 1.1.0. it was very strait forward.
edit: after further use i definately prefer v1.1.0, 1.3 isnt as friendly for flashing kernels. it wants a firwamre.xml file in the .tar or something, i need to read up on the new heimdal, the old one let you flash the different partitions individually. and the files were not .tar achives, you just extracted the images from the odin packages.
im sure the new version has its purpose but for simplicity id say get 1.1.1. the 1.1.1 frontend package seems to work over the 1.2 comandline package.
v1.3 seems to be for compatability with future devices(or current ones) that have a different partition table, the firmware.xml file can specify what device the files get flashed to. this is more advanced and not for everyone.

Dani, just go to the "Flash" tab. The old style of doing things is still there.

thanks linux, but i couldnt see how to insert the files. it lets me search for a pit but nothing else.
does the phone need to be connected first?
does it now require a pit before the other files?(i cant get the unbrick ackage to download at this time to test that)
should it be in a .tar file or still extracted like it was before?

Like i said... i have NOTHING as far as recovery, flash software, ect... Im rooted and thats it.
When i plug my phone in, and enable USB, it sees my internal & external memory separately, so im good to go.
So if you could help me though this, that would be spectacular.
Hell... i might even be cool and donate you a few bucks on PayPal

What you might want to look into are the "Odin" flashable ROM packages - these will at least get you root and CWM recovery.
The Ubuntu equivalen of Odin is Heimdall, as mentioned previously. There are a few tricks to flashing a complete Odin firmware package with heimdall, next time I'm at my Ubuntu box I'll go into more detail.
To use Odin/Heimdall, once you've got them set up and have something to flash - turn off your phone, and then hold VolUp and VolDn at the same time while plugging in the USB cable to the phone. A yellow screen with an Android doing construction work will appear.
Edit: And Heimdall 1.3.0 is just as easy to flash kernels with as 1.1.0... 'heimdall flash --kernel zImage' (I don't use the GUI frontend ever)

no donation needed.
Ubuntu doesn't need any special packages or drivers on these phones at all.
actually a heimdall install on ubuntu iis a lot easier than an Odin install in windows, there are never driver issues. infact Ubuntu is eaiser to install than windows so all these Mac users doing the vm thing with windows and Odin are making life hard for themselves.
you can get cwm recovery by flashing a voodoo kernel. this can be done in heimdall (1.1.1 is self explanitory, 1.3.0 might need some explaining but I figured it out so feel free to ask if you need to.) the kernel can also be flashed in a market app called sgs kernel flasher.

but us linux newbs like the gui, it reminds us of windows.
but yeah, you're right that is easy.
the new gui requires a pit to flash individual partitions. I found it odd. but its not too difficult.

First download this cwm recovery kernel here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?srhipjqvy7mpdde
Then rename the downloaded zip file to "update.zip"
and copy it to root of your INTERNAL SD card.
Now boot to the blue text recovery screen of your phone
pressing the up/down and power keys at the same time
then after 10-15 seconds letting go.
If you have trouble getting into the stock blue recovery
menu you can go to the market and download a free
app called "reboot recovery" that way you can go to
the recovery menu with one click.
After you are in the blue recovery menu select "reinstall packages"
You may have to do this twice the first time, then you will see the
clockworkmod recovery menu and you will be ready to flash a
custom rom.
I do now know which custom rom you want to download, so go
ahead and download a custom rom of your choice (must be a zipfile)
and then copy the custom rom zipfile to the root of your internal
sdcard.
After that reboot the phone into recovery using the "reboot recovery"
app or by pressing vol up/down and power keys after the phone is off.
Then you get to the cwm recovery menu and select
"install zip from sd card" then you will see the files in sdcard.
Select the custom rom zipfile from the the menu by going up/down
on list using vol up and vol down buttons. When you highlight the
file you want press the power button and let it start flashing
the custom rom.
On first bootup on custom rom it usually takes twice as long
to complete the boot process.
If you have any questions, let me know.
Good luck, and yes a donation is always welcome
Have a great day,
Enjoy!

alright... got it loaded...
-phone didnt catch fire.
-the sketchy beaner down the road hasnt stolen my car yet
-i still have 1/2 a pot of tea left...
:: UPDATE ::
STEP 9) Press OK and hold your breath. When 3e recovery comes up, just select reinstall packages.
yeah... i never got that... is that an issue?
2nd thing, was kinda hoping it would be a bit louder... since it has voodoo sound. I DLed the FREE manager, but it doesn't seem any different...
3rd thing, how do i change the lock screen back to the default? (just the large pane, instead of the sliders)
That aside... now that ive had it up and running for a few hours and able to play online and play games to really test it. I really like it. nice and smooth, quick as hell too!
@MisterJunky - It appears my PayPal was attacked, so once i get it sorted and un-frozen, ill send ya a few bucks for helping me.

help on my previous.... anyone?
.....?

voodoo sound is mainly for recording and headphones( headphones more so than recording) . it had no effect on the external speaker.

[MOD][KQ1 & KQ7]ICS Extended Power Menu with Screenshot Function

I swapped the "Reboot Download" function with a Screenshot function because the download mode doesn't actually work, it will give you a hang in Odin so it's useless
(Thanks to Blumdum for making the actual change in the text, got a bootloop myself)
Ported the function from CyanogenMod

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Place the files in /system/framework
Now you will get a non responsive system but wait until it reboots by itself and your done
(Just in case be sure to have a CWM backup )
NOTE: THIS FILES ARE FROM BROODROM RC3 AND ARE THEMED
For KQ7
Download and install ICS V3.1.1 Theme
and then copy android.policy.jar to /system/framework and set permissions to RW-R-R (644) and then reboot
Also thanks to crybert for providing original file

I works great!!!!
Good job.
Edit: do you use it in your fixed version?

Hi!, I just noticed that my phone (or OS) has a built-in screenshot feature. I have UCM GingerBread Rom 2.1 installed with an ICS theme from a russian forum.
When holding the "BACK" soft-key pressed and pressing the "HOME" button, the system is taking a screenshot. Can someone please test and confirm it? maybe i'm wrong, maybe it's a function of an app that is running in background..?
Thank you.

Hello to all
I tried doing a test.
I extracted the files android.policy.jar and framework-res.apk by ROM_GT I9001_UCM_GINGERBREAD_XXKPU_V2 and I simply replaced the files in my rom with rootexplorer.
I received several errors then I restarted the phone and I still found some problems, had changed the background of the theme I use, and no longer had the google account, I restored the background, and account. Now my menu is so ..
.. and everything works perfectly.

Nice one. Will test it ASAP (but 1st i build your counter and maybe (if you like it) a site)
EDIT: Here's the banner i created in about 2 mins

I'm not feeling very well...

There is absolutely not need to put the points "Recovery" and "Download" into power menu, imho.
One could always reach the Recovery mode by simply reboot with Vol+ button depressed.
And Download point is used soooo rarely, so it's not a problem to boot it with three buttons. But one incorrect movement in power menu - and you are in.
