[RECOVERY][MOD][1-June-2012] RA-supersonic-v4.3-smelkusMOD - EVO 4G Android Development

Description
This is an Amon Ra style custom recovery based on drellisdee's (aka getitnowmarketing) source with a few changes added by me.
The "nandroid" script includes code to auto-reboot your phone upon completing a backup, which could be especially useful after a long, compressed backup, but it's never been an option in the UI. I wanted this feature to be included in the backup and restore menus simply for convenience, i.e. restore a nandroid before going to bed so the phone is ready for you in the morning, make a backup while you're mowing the yard so the phone is ready for you when you come inside, etc.
Accordingly, I modified nandroid-mobile.sh to include autoreboot on restore and modified and built a new recovery binary to offer autoreboot in the backup and restore menus. While tinkering with it, I decided to modify the font color and background graphics. Themes and features explained below.
Change Log
Code:
v4.3 - Add Get Current ROM Version to Other menu
Add initial dalvik wipe to Superwipe to ICS and AOKP themes from v4.2.1
v4.2.1 - Very minor
Update mason theme to new logo
Add initial dalvik wipe to Superwipe (forgot it on v4.2)
v4.2 - Add Roboto font (from CEnnis91)
Reorganize and clarify wipe menu, add Calkulin's Clear Temp (wipe Temp Files in recovery) and Superwipe
Center main recovery screen header and switch to all caps
v4.1 - Added two new choices to the top of the wipe menu:
Combined cache & dalvik wipe
Combined boot, cache, data, system (aka Calkulin's FORMAT ALL) wipe
Changed auto-reboot message from "Rebooting recovery..." to "Rebooting phone..."
v4.0.1 - Fixed symlinks to dump_image and flash_image, which should correct any restore issues from v4.0 (thanks drellisdee)
Modified nandroid-mobile.sh and extracommands.c to allow recovery to handle autoreboot versus the script (thanks drellisdee)
Added message and three second delay before autorebooting (thanks drellisdee)
Features
All features from v3.11 + autoreboot + improved wiping options + roboto
Known Issues
None at this time
Important Notes
1. To autoreboot, just select that option along with your other backup/restore choices and run as normal. Upon completion, you will see a reboot message along with a three second delay before rebooting.
2. The AOKP theme is just that-- a themed recovery-- not officially endorsed/supported by the AOKP team so please don’t bother them with anything related to this recovery.
3. Compatible with nandroids made under previous versions of Amon Ra (and probably CWM... dunno, never use it. Someone else that tries- Chime in!)

There IS no better recovery than this for the evo. No way, no how. It's a pleasure to have this on my phone bro. Thanks for letting me test it. All of the greatness of amonra and so much more. Now xda members get it! Even better.

Change, nothin' stays the same. Unchained, and ya hit the ground runnin'.

I'd never trust another recovery on my evo =)

Been running this since it dropped on TCD. It would be foolish to run any other recovery. Thanks for doing this. The reboot script is such a perfect addition.

What about an option for auto reboot in flash menu? When selecting the last item to flash you could check auto reboot instead of going back twice for reboot. Just throwing it out there, not sure if its even possible.

Yeah, it's broken.

Thanks. Heard great things and I like the themes...his/hers type.
But, there's nothing to download. Does it take time to show up on the site?

Good to see this on xda for everyone to flash and love. I also grabbed it from TCD while checking out the Reloaded Preview. It improves on the already great RA Style 3.11 Recovery. Thanks for working on this and sharing it.

SDCARD Partitioning Tutorial.
I know that with EXT4, partitioning the sdcard can be a hassle. Here's a little workaround to help you get it partitioned the easiest way I know without having to mount systems and such in Terminal Emulator. This way makes you flash 2 seperate recoveries, but I would rather do this than the other methods which could take upwards of a half hour or even longer. I've seen people that were working on it for a couple hours. Without further adieu:
NOTE: If you are running RFS, just follow step 1. and you'll be done. If you are running EXT4, skip right to step 2. and follow from there.
1. If you are running RFS, then you do not need to follow any other steps. In the green CWM2.5.5 recovery, just go to "advanced" in recovery and choose the Partition option. It's going to give you two questions for sizes that you want. The first size is going to be the ext size. For this it will give you a few options, but I don't recommend choosing anything below 512. You will see all the options when they pop up, just choose what you feel most comfortable with. The next thing it's going to tell you to select is the swap size. I again don't recommend choosing anything below 128 for this option. You will again see a list of options, so choose what you feel most comfortable with.
2. If you are running EXT4, then follow these steps and you'll be up and running with your new partition very soon. First thing you need to do is gather all the tools you're going to need. Here are the list of tools you will need:
A. One Click Root & Recovery 2.5.5
B. One Click Root & Recovery 3.0.0.6
Quite the long list huh? lol ...I told you it's gonna be simple lol.
Download both of these files (if you don't have one or the other already) and extract them to an easy to find location on your computer somewhere.
3. Ok, you're going to do this just the same as you would if you were rooting your phone from a stock state. And to answer your question that's running through your head right now, No, this will not return you to RFS. You will still be on EXT4 the entire time, so there's not real need to backup your sdcard or worry about having to sit through the backup&restore again. Once again, to be very clear... Even though you are flashing cwm2.5.5 recovery, you will REMAIN EXT4. So let's continue. Make sure USB Debugging is on and plug your phone into your computer. Do NOT mount the sdcard, just have the phone plugged in. Open the One Click Root & Recovery 2.5.5, and run the program. When it's finished, your phone will reboot. Do NOT unplug it until the script is complete. The script will say "Operation Complete. Hit any button to continue" or something along those lines. Just hit a button and the script will automatically close. You can now reboot into recovery and you will see the 2.5.5 recovery with the green letters. If you don't have the green letters, then you didn't run the right One Click, and you should start over using the correct one lol . For those that successfully flashed the 2.5.5 recovery, move on to step 4.
4. If you have the green letters, then we'll continue, if not, repeat step 3. with the correct one click lol. Now that you have the green letters, revert to step 1. When you're finished following the same instructions from step 1, move on to step 5. If you have any issues with anything from step 1. (which you shouldn't, but if you do) click here to go to Mibbit's irc chat website. Along the top left side you will see 2 tabs labeled "Home" and "Connect". Make sure you are on the tab that says "Home". When on the tab labeled "Home", you will see the box in the middle of the page. Right beside the letters "IRC:" is a dropdown box. You're going to click on the dropdown arrow and select "EFNET". Next, you're going to enter your nickname, and finally, beside "channel:" type "#viper" and select "Go". That will bring you to Team Vipers chat where one of us will be able to help you.
5. Now that you are partitioned, it's time to restore the EXT4 recovery. If you do not restore the EXT4 recovery, you will not be able to flash any new ROM's or Kernels, so you MUST restore the correct recovery. To do so, you simply do the same steps. Make sure USB Debugging is turned on and plug your phone in. You do NOT need to mount. Now you simply run the 3.0.0.6 One Click Root & Recovery. Let it run through it's process and it will reboot itself. Do NOT exit out of the command prompt until it says "finished, press any key to continue". Once your phone reboots, you can then reboot into recovery and you will see that you have the orange letters again. When you see the orange letters, you now have a partitioned sdcard and you are back on the correct recovery.
**ONCE THE KERNEL IS RELEASED (Which should be within the next 24 hours as long as my testers don't see any issues) THEN MOVE ON TO STEP 6.**
6. Now that you're partitioned, the only thing left to do is flash the kernel. Connect your phone to your computer and copy the Kernel to your sdcard if you have not done so already. To flash it, just choose "Install zip from sdcard" followed by "Choose zip from sdcard" and simply navigate to where you stored it on your sdcard. That's all. It's quite quick and painless and you should be able to do it all within 10-15 minutes.

Nice and clean separate thread me like...
Do i sense a 3.0.1 update to be sweet! or is the current 3.0 this version?
Hi BT. Thanks for the great ROM. I am using 3.0 right now. What is the difference between 3.0 and 3.0.1? Thanks. Keep up the great work! And one quick question. When I try to install lagfix, everythiing works besides the last step, installing viperspeed. It says I cant install it because I dont have enough room. but I have 185MB free. any ideas?
Link? I hope it's not there or else I'll feel more jerky than usual. Oh and super-thanks for those file names on the battery mods, so important... I have a mess of files like GREENBATMODTHISTHAT with no versions or anything and I guess I didn't realize that I needed to keep mods organized by ROM.

3.0.1 is just a new name for it so if we make updates there's less confusion... It's still the same as 3.0, but hopefully this will eliminate some questions in the thread lol.
3.0.1 = 3.0 ...No new updates yet.

Hey BT there is a app called WidgerLocker Lockscreen which lets you put any widget/app i believe on you lock screen that might be helpful i think..
Just installed it and brought back the aosp lock screen might wanna check it out... Send me a pm of ur email so i can send u the apk cause its a paid app
Another quick question BT, what are the other options for in the lagfix? Are they for future upgrades or not necessary at all?
Hey BT I just want to thank you for all your hard work and your great rom. I hope this hasn't been answered but is it necessary to remove my original root before flashing any of your roms? I have flashed most all of them and I have not deleted it. I'm not having any problems with 3.0. Thank you....

[RECOVERY][GPL] ClockworkMod 3.1.0.1 PURPLE UPGRADE RFS/EXT4/USB CUSTOM FOR EPIC4G

CWM 3.1.0.1 PURPLE UPGRADE WITH RFS/EXT4/USB MASS STORAGE SUPPORT!
Some of you might be asking,
WHY DID I DO THIS?
Well, as soon as I released cwm 3.0.2.5, I got requests from all over the epic community, to make some changes to cwm, changes I couldn't incorporate, until I learned to compile the ClockworkMod binary itself. So, with some help from skeeterslint and Rodderik, I did just that...
So, the changes in CWM 3.1.0.1 purple are:
* USB Mass Storage working from the menu, and top text changed, to reflect safe removal of sdcard from PC *before* leaving USB Mass Storage menu
* Purple text and icon color, everyone seemed to hate the orange color
* Key Codes fixed, menu is now the select key, and top text changed to reflect this
* Only one "No" in confirmations, only need to click down once to get to "Yes"
* Built-in busybox is full Cyanogen busybox 1.16.2, with --install -s feature built in
* sd-ext ext4 partition listed in recovery.fstab, a direct change from koush
* Compatible with cwm 3.0.2.5, and has been tested by many in irc.fossnet.info #epic channel
These features are the direct results of feedback from both devs and users in the irc channel... so, if you want input on things like this in the future... it pays to be involved in the epic irc channel!
Please note: some people have had the samsung recovery appear after this flash, and in my testing, in some circumstances, the stock kernel can actually flash back the stock recovery. Due to this, I highly recommend that anyone flashing the new cwm with this flash, please also flash my clean kernel, located here: Clean Kernel EC05 thread Also note, that the one click version of this should not have this problem, since it takes away the ability of the stock kernel to flash the samsung recovery.
OK, there's been some confusion to what the recovery kernel is and does... even among developers at times... so let me explain, before you download:
This flashes the recovery partition of the phone. When I release a CWM upgrade, I am flashing bml8, which is the recovery partition. The recovery partition is only booted when the phone is powered off, and a 3 finger boot is performed, using vol down, camera, and power, held down until the menu appears.
Reboot recovery relies on the kernel (bml7), or a cwm redirector (from the stock kernel, is what the one click root does) to provide cwm, which is why you get an older cwm version with reboot recovery with most kernels. My Clean Kernel EC05 was made to provide a bassline for other kernels for cwm reboot recovery, so until other kernel devs incorporate the new recovery into their kernels, the Clean Kernel is the only one that does reboot recovery to cwm 3.1.0.1. I hope this clarifies things a bit.
I have been actively training other kernel devs on how to incorporate cwm reboot recovery into their kernels, so that koush himself can start pushing cwm updates officially through ROM Manager. This is how ROM Manager is intended to be used (and once was, before ext4 invaded the epic development scene)... but for this to happen, the new recovery needs to be standardized, and everyone on the same page, for this to happen. I know koush will be ready to push official cwm updates for the Epic through ROM Manager, as soon as we as a community are ready for it.
NEW!!! Thanks to qbking77 for making this video, showing both install methods in action, for those that just hate to read instructions:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsRA7q4JWPQ
DOWNLOADS
cwm3.1.0.1.purple.zip
Flash this with your current ClockworkMod to be upgraded!
NEW!!! If you have problems with the flashing the zip, or just wanna use Odin, here is an Odin flashable tar will get you all squared away, with a quickness, just load the file into the PDA slot of Odin
cwm3.1.0.1.tar.md5
NOTE: if you're phone won't boot after flashing the zip from cwm, just flash this, there is no need to flash a complete stock tar.
Notes:
* This flashes bml8 kernel only, this kernel is stripped of bloat, for minimal file size
* 3 finger boot required to enter the bml8 recovery from power off
* Key assignments: vol/keypad up/down= up/down, camera button/menu softkey/keypad enter= enter, back softkey/power/keypad delete= back
hehe: has mkasick keyboard patch, so thumbing is faster!!!
* Full restores of backups done from prior cwm versions may not be possible. Do backup and restore > advanced > {choose backup} > and selectively restore the partitions you need.
* Once new backups are performed, those backups can be restored to *either* rfs or ext4.
* Now backup and restore includes both the kernel and recovery too
* Use in conjunction with my Clean Kernel, for ROM Manager support, other kernels will soon follow suit:
Clean Kernel EC05 thread
credits:
THE COMMUNITY!!!! I HAVE FINALLY SEEN DEVS WORKING TOGETHER IN WAYS I DIDN'T THINK WERE POSSIBLE...
LET'S KEEP THIS UP, AND KNOW THAT COOPERATION BENEFITS EVERYONE!!!!
* kain203: donated the use of an 8 core linux machine for my use in compiling kernels and the cwm binary. This *greatly* increased my productivity, and allowed me to edit and compile everything for cwm and my kernel, *all* from my Epic 4G, believe it or not...
* Rodderik: without his initial kernel training, I never would have gotten this done at all, also, helping with installing packages necessary to get cwm to compile, he also generously provides the hosting for these files you're downloading.
* koush: the friggin man! The creator of ClockworkMod and ROM Manager! He gave me the advice I needed to finally get dual fs support!
* tanimn: for hosting of cwm koush files in this github, and sharing experience that was genuinely helpful
* vocaltreat: the cwm3.1.0.1 purple clockworkmod icon
* skeeterslint: help in getting cwm to compile, and pointing me to files to edit, from his prior expertise on cwm
* mkasick: for the keyboard sysfs patch, for faster key response
Notes for sources:
The Samsung kernel, ClockworkMod, and busybox, are *all* open source, and as such, mods to all, should have the sources included. Since I like to *practice* what I preach, here are all the sources for the CWM kernel, recovery, and busybox edits:

Worked perfect first try. I actually am using Genocide 1.1 kernel and had no problem. Thank you for the hard work. The purple looks sharp. I can see a purple and black theme in the future now

Flashing this cwm kernel to bml8 won't affect the gingerbread leaks, just do not flash the Clean Kernel on the gingerbread leak, or the phone won't boot.

Sure, you can use the recovery in your ROM...
As for the red, it does entail a minor edit with a recompile of the binary, and repackage of the kernel... atm, my donated vm is down, but perhaps later I can do something for ya
Just did my first theme flash from the new recovery. Its so much better not having to scroll through the "NO's." I didn't think it was that big of a deal at first but it really is much better. Great job.

OK guys, you have NO idea what it has taken to get to this point...
Welcome to the first officially supported ClockworkMod for the Epic 4G since cwm 2.5.1.0, I think it's been over a year now...
Changes since 3.1.0.1:
* Backups are tar files by default, with the filesystem type noted in the filename. Backups automatically reformat to the backup filesystem before restore. This will work to restore rfs and ext4 setups. So, for example, if you're currently on rfs, but your backup was done while on the ext4 filesystem, the restore will reformat back to ext4 before restoring. Older backups done by cwm 3.x and ACS Recovery can be restored by this ClockworkMod version, and will not reformat before restoring older backups.
* This cwm is not meant for mtd partition layout / yaffs2 filesystem, that is another matter entirely, and mtd will require it's own cwm build and kernel, that will most likely be in the official CM repo when it's done.
* One "No" in confirmations, for all but factory wipe: Make a blank file called .one_confirm (that is a period in the beginning of the name), and place it in /sdcard/clockworkmod directory. This works right now with 3 finger boot from power off, but will be added to the next Clockwork Recovery update in ROM Manager. When that happens, then it will also work from the option Reboot into Recovery, when called from ROM Manager. This is now official, so that in the future, anyone with ClockworkMod 5.0.27+ will be able to benefit from this. Thanks to chris41g for this edit and push to the official source.
* Keycodes were fixed to work with the gingerbread kernel... and menu was fixed up a bit.
up = vol up, keypad up, keypad left
down = vol down, keypad down, keypad right
back = back cap key, power button, keypad backspace key
select = home cap key, keypad enter key, camera button
toggle display = keypad d key
reboot = power button 5 times, no matter where you are in the cwm menu
NOTE ON KEYS:
If your current kernel is a froyo kernel, then the cap keys will be reversed... We will have some growing pains, until everyone is on board with gingerbread, and the kernel devs start implementing the kernel mod described below, to change the mode of reboot recovery to go to bml8 recovery partition. If you are running gingerbread, then you can flash this prerelease:
Clean_Kernel-2011-11-20-15.51.32.zip
md5:389f5b1745352326c9357c1252cd37b9
This isn't exactly finished yet, but it's stable, and has voodoo sound, root, busybox, etc.
* DO NOT REPARTITION YOUR SDCARD WITH CLOCKWORKMOD. There are problems associated with this that I will detail later.
* I highly recommend flashing both the new recovery kernel and the ROM Manager update... pretty soon, ROM Manager will be able to flash our favorite ROMs, by downloading and flashing from ROM Manager.
* FOR USERS OF ACS RECOVERY:
At this time, I recommend flashing the new cwm over ACS Recovery. Testing has shown that backups done when the ROM Manager fakeflash is called through ACS Recovery, is that the backups won't be in the proper format... they will probably work, but not in the way the CWM 5 intends it too, with fs saved tar backups.
I know that some of you are avid fans of ACS Recovery, and I have nothing against that. In fact, it should be pretty easy for chris41g to make a new version if he so desires... and, he did contribute to the official source, which is something I truly appreciate In fact, I have been working with koush, to get some other of the most requested features, into the official cwm sources, so they can benefit everyone in android. One of the first new features to be put into the next cwm update in ROM Manager, is the ability to have only one "No" in the confirmations, if the file /sdcard/clockworkmod/.one_confirm is present. chris41g authored this for the cwm sources. Also, we have been given the go ahead to implement the inclusion of reboot into download mode from the main cwm menu in the official sources as well
WHAT TO DO IN ROM MANAGER:
Firstly, flash the new recovery with odin/clockworkmod.
Also, I'd recommend a known working kernel for the new recovery:
Clean_Kernel-2011-11-20-15.51.32.zip
md5: 389f5b1745352326c9357c1252cd37b9
This isn't exactly finished yet, but it's stable, and has voodoo sound, root, busybox, etc.

Get ROM Manager from the market, and choose Flash ClockworkMod Recovery.
Choose the Samsung Epic4G.
It should then download, and you should see ClockworkMod version: 5.0.2.7
Now, whenever you use ROM Manager for anything, it will automatically load the latest supported ClockworkMod for the Epic.
DEVELOPERS: Please visit this forum thread, and learn all you need to know about getting your zips listed in ROM Manager, and the features available for you to use.
KERNEL DEVELOPERS: It is highly recommended at this time to use this commit, to change boot mode for reboot recovery to boot from bml8 recovery partition:

Thanks goes to:
koush - Creator of ClockworkMod, and very good guy for his patience and willingness to listen to the needs of the Epic community, and the android community at large.
mkasick - help with C code to support rfs formatting in the official cwm sources.
chris41g - inclusion of code in official sources to permit one "no" in confirmations, if file /sdcard/clockworkmod/.one_confirm is present

WHY CWM 5 WAS A CHALLENGE
ClockworkMod version 5 now stores the backup filesystem in the name of the tar backup files. When I first submitted my device files to koush for ROM Manager support, it became clear that now ClockworkMod would have to support the formatting of rfs volumes for the restores to work properly. This took me a while, but thankfully with the generous advice of mkasick, I wrote the function and pushed to the official source:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery/commit/a8f265dd6f764188d07ea2637d5638b8c64e4a6b
To experienced C programmers, this is easy stuff, but hey, admittedly, I'm a very new to C programming, and I wanted to learn... and I wanted to get it as correct as possible the first time... so this took me a while
RECOVERY KERNEL DETAILS
The important thing with a recovery kernel, is that it only needs to do one thing:
Load ClockworkMod, and anything ClockworkMod might need.
For this reason, there are minimal kernel modifications for the ClockworkMod Kernel. The following details, however, are worthy of note:
* This kernel supports kexec, as in the future, dual boot may become the norm.
* The boot mode for reboot recovery has been modified to reboot the bml8 recovery kernel, and not the boot kernel recovery.
* I left in the keypad timer patch by mkasick, since it really makes a difference in scrolling through the menus in ClockworkMod.
* The initramfs /sbin was modified to only have files needed for ClockworkMod, along with the following scripts and binaries that I often find useful:
bmlwrite - binary to flash kernels
bmlflash - script to flash boot or recovery kernels easily
bclean - script to clean all busybox files from /system
rclean - script to clean all busybox and root related files in /system
FOR BOOT KERNEL DEVELOPERS
It is highly recommended at this time to use this commit, to change boot mode for reboot recovery to boot from bml8 recovery partition:
https://github.com/EpicCM/android_ke...0b05d989bfad59
LESSONS FROM HAVING WORKED ON CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY
When I did ClockworkMod 3.1.0.1, I created a custom recovery, with some requested features. However, with time, it became apparent that having an official recovery with ROM Manager support was ultimately more favorable than having a custom one. Furthermore, with just a little effort and cooperation, the official source can be appended to include the most requested features. We're not the only ones asking for those features. I now believe that contributing to the official source benefits the entire community in the end, and not just one or two devices.
Along with my rfs formatting commit, I invited chris41g to contribute as well, and hence his following commit was also accepted, which allows only one "No" to appear in confirmations, when the blank file /sdcard/clockworkmod/.oneconfirm is detected:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/a8f265dd6f764188d07ea2637d5638b8c64e4a6b
Again, very simple here, but solves the most requested modification to ClockworkMod probably ever, and now, anyone with ClockworkMod 5.0.2.7+ can enjoy it too!
I really want to thank chris41g for taking the time to contribute. I respect and appreciate his work on the ACS Recovery, and I feel that his work will make even more of a difference in the end- to a lot more people than just the Epic 4G community.
I truly hope that my example can be an inspiration to others, to cooperate with other developers for the benefit of all. This may appear idealistic, but I believe the Epic 4G community has matured and has already started reaping the benefits of this cooperation. I also believe that in learning from others, you are also given the obligation to help others, who will, in turn, help others, and so on. I should hope that the benefits to all are obvious. And with that, I'll stop "preaching"... hehe.
Rockstar! Thanks are in order!

Well, honestly, wipe 3x hasn't been an issue for a while now... if you need to wipe, just do factory wipe from the main menu only once.
The version that flashes from ROM manager has one minor issue - the capacitive back button acts as a select button, but the menu key works as a back button... That's all I've noticed so far, other than the three finger salute going into my previously installed CWM 3.1...

[APP] Boot Manager Pro - Dual boot unlimited ROMS! [WIP]

Hola peoples!!! Ok so I just thought I'd create my own thread on this matter. Mustangtim started one in apps and themes (and here is the link to that thread) but since I'm taking over this project it was brought to our attention that this should be in the dev section as its no longer just an app.. I am actually tearing .imgs apart trying to figure out what the deuce.
FIRST OFF THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS, WE ARE NOT YET FULLY SUPPORTED. HOWERVER I'M DOING MY BEST TO CHANGE THAT.
Secondly if you want to help get this started please visit the market and grab the app here. Its a $3 dollar app for unlimited amount of roms, based on your SD card storage capacity anyway. And speaking of which you need AT LEAST a class 4 or better SD card to make this run smoothly.
Also feel free to visit the forums at http://forum.init2winitapps.com/
Ok so here it is, Boot Manager Pro. Its been a long time coming for the g2x to dual boot. First off let me say long story short, I currently have a bootable SD Rom, known as ROM1. I have yet to be able to recreate my findings tho. But it works and it doesnt brick at all. However it is a bit laggy on my class 4 SD card. Luckily I've already done my research on this project as there are many threads of such awesome info so I'm just going to be lazy about it and quote the good people of xda versus re-writing it based off of their info.
ChrisDDD said:
So here's a very basic description of how it works... It doesn't partition your SD card, it just creates a folder of its own, and then sub-folders to hold the different roms you install. When you install a rom, it basically creates images of the usual Android partitions - system, data, cache, & boot. These are standard .img files, just like the ones Clockwork creates when you do a backup. After the images are created and wiped (formatted, which you should do initially) it installs your rom into these essentially the same way as Clockwork installs a rom to your phone's actual partitions. I assume it modifies the kernel that comes with each rom to mount the image files on the SD card instead of the phone's partitions.
When you want to boot a rom, it just replaces your current boot image with the modified one and restarts the phone. With the modified boot image, the system, data and cache images on the SD card are mounted to the correct locations and Android starts up none the wiser. The rom will initially run a little slow, because the SD card is slower than the internal memory, but after things get cached it speed up considerably.
When you want to reboot to another rom, or back to the phone's rom, Boot Manager again swaps boot images that mount the desired rom's partitions (in the case of the phone's rom) or files (in the case of an SD card installed rom).
When you first run Boot Manager, it makes a Clockwork flash able backup of your current boot image, which you can flash if a rom hangs or loops on startup. Alternatively, you can also simply boot into recovery and do an advanced restore, choosing just the boot image to restore from a backup. It accomplishes the exact same thing.
It can be a little hit or miss, with some roms just plain refusing to start through Boot Manager, but it does work and when it does, it's pretty amazing given what it's actually doing.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So basically upon installing the app you need to setup your phone so that way you can properly install a ROM, follow these steps:
1. Go into the supersu(or superuser app) and then go to settings then disable logging or click none.
2. Then go into the BMP app and press the menu button on your phone, not the app, and go to settings. Once in settings put a check mark in force large boot.img, screen on during install, and then go into variables, leave tegra alone but change the sdcard block to show mmcblk1p1. Then press finish and let the app restart. By the way I didnt change any of the sizes of the .imgs but feel free to do so. But be warned do not decrease the size of the system.img only increase it, if desired.
3.Then after you've done the above you need to setup the phone rom. Click on 'Setup Phone' under phone rom and follow that process to setup your phone rom.
4. Once your phone rom is setup you may begin to install a zip to rom1 or rom2 or whatever slot you want. This is the tricky part. I have done tons of reading and most people say that if your using CWM, which us g2x'ers do, then you will probably have a better chance of getting a bootable rom by restoring from a nandroid backup you did versus installing new.
5. So after you decide which path you will take, nandroid backup or fresh rom install, choose install. If you choose a fresh rom, wipe system, data, and cache right away. If nandroid, then wipe after the install.
6. Now once you have clicked install put your phone down, DONT MESS WITH YOUR PHONE AT ALL! PUT IT DOWN AND WALK AWAY OR SOMETHING! Don’t mess with it, text from it, xda from it, dont even use the screen as a mirror!!!! lol seriously the app is picky and while under the .img creation process you want nothing to mess that up or you will not get it booted. You may however drag down the notifications bar to follow the progress of the install.
7. Once its complete, tap the install complete notification in the notification bar and let the app do its thing to finalize the install and get you back to your rom selection screen. Now if you did a nandroid back up here is where you click 'manage slot' and then factory reset the backup you did. Just do it, dont ask why.
7.1 Also so if you desire to install gapps and/or possibly a different kernel, now would be the time to do so while your here. I have read mixed reviews of doing this process right after the rom installs. However when I set up my rom1, I booted into it first all happily then realized I had no gapps. So I had to reinstall BMP on rom1 then boot back to phone rom and then I installed GB gapps and had no issues booting back into rom1.
8. Once the above steps are done if your feelin lucky go ahead and tap on boot the rom you installed, and if all goes well it will boot up.
9. If it boots up you need to post confirmation here!!! Provided info such as phone rom and the info on the sd rom you used and slot number and such.
Hopefully it will just work for you. I have done all the above steps using HFP 2.1 as my phone rom and only been able to get 1 bootable rom. Being it was for testing I used HFP as my phone rom and as well as my rom1.
So if the above steps dont wortk out for you and your boot lopped or what ever, then turn your phone off and reboot into cwm. You have 2 options to resolve the boot issue you just created. 1, you may go to restore then advanced restore then restore your boot. Or 2. select install a zip and nav to the bootmanager folder then phone rom then flash the update zip there.. then reboot and you should be back at your phone rom.
Here is a basic run down of everything that I have done so far:
When I first started working on this project I wasn’t doing any dev'ing to change any of the stuff in the boot.img. I just changed settings in the app per all the research I did. So when all was said and done I restored HFP 2.1 to ROM1 and it actually booted!! And it works lovely btw.. I can still boot into this rom today. I then decided to pass the word and ways that I created the working rom1, well I nor anyone else I passed the info to was able to get it working. Only one other person was able to confirm that rom1 works but only after I copied all my rom1 info and sent it to him for testing.. and he was able to boot into my created rom1… As I see it, it was a blue moon event that I have yet to repeat. So I thought eff it lets do some dev'in so I unpacked the boot.img from rom1 then compared that to the unpacked boot.img from rom2 that I created in my trial and error experiences. So in doing so I noticed 4 differences; 1, the mount points obviously, 2, in the sbin folder had a ueventd file from the working rom1 was a text file viewable by gedit in ubuntu. In rom2 it was just a non-readable file. 3, in the init.rc file was also missing a chmod command for system, (the command is in rom1 but not rom2) and 4, there was a ueventd.tegra file that was in rom1 that wasn’t in rom2, but everything else is the same. So I decided to plug and play with the differences to see if she boots and no go. I don’t understand why its boot looping because I am using the same rom as phone rom as for rom1 and rom2. So it boot looped. So I had to restore my boot.img many times in cwm.
So then I said eff it lets do some more research, then I noticed in the .zips folder plus the individual rom folder there are .zips that will let you flash via cwm if you get boot loops and 'should' get you booting to your desired sdrom. I then tried that way and no go.. so then I opened up the zip and had a look at the internals.. first there is the moveboot.sh file that the app runs in cwm flash the given boot.img. I then checked out the meta-inf and opened up the updater-script thinking that the app wasn’t actually flashing the boot.img which is why it loops... Well I think im half way right. However the script itself is lil dodgy... first thing I noticed was at the end of the script they have a command to cp the log from /tmp to /sdcard/bootmanager well the command was wrong so it never copied the log. So I fixed that. I also saw that the assert command was pointing to ‘boot’ instead of mmcblk0p5, so I changed that too. Then I decided to do away with the assert command and the moveboot.sh file they have going on to utilize the same functions that the kernel zips use, which is a kernel folder that holds the boot.img and a run_program that dd's the boot.img to 0p5. plus I even updated the update-binary that the file uses. I used the one from the g2x nullifier as I know that one was made for our phone and should have no issues.. plus there was a noticeable difference in the sizes of the provided binary to that replaced binary. So with the updated.zip file I then rebooted into cwm to flash that being that I was using a different command to flash the boot.img as well as the other changed stuff and still it boot looped. So as of now the only thing I don’t think ive done was grab the boot.img from rom1 then change the mount points, only change that, and then use that for rom2 and see if it boots. I don’t think I’ve done that yet. But every dam process I do I get boot loops. So basically I have came to the conclusion that it’s now NOT a boot.img issue being that I have done everything to change the boot.img and to make sure it flashes, which it does indeed and now creates the log too… I think maybe it has issues with the system.img as that’s what comes next in the boot process. But that’s just my hypothesis. I won’t be able to confirm this till I liberate rom1’s boot.img then change the mount points to point to rom2 and then see if it boots.. if it don’t work then that would mean to me that there is an issue with system.img created. But that’s just my hypothesis…
What I don’t understand is why the eff when I didnt hack the app I got a working sd-rom, but when I do change some stuff with it still don’t work!!???!! I guess maybe ill just edit/hack the apk to see what’s up.. This is getting way more complicated than it needs to be, since it worked prior to all my major changes to the script its using for flashing and the boot.img and what not. Anyone have any ideas feel free to add them.
My next steps are to edit rom1 boot.img one last time to change the mount points to point to rom2 and then if that’s a no go then it’s got to be the system.img that’s getting created. By the way this whole process I have only been restoring my nandroid backup for HFP 2.1. I have not attempted to flash new as with thru my research more times than not people would get a bootable rom via restoring versus flashing new.. so if anyone wishes to experience an sd rom let me know, ill send you a link to download my rom1 to get it going. Mind you that its not perfect and you need a class 4 or better sdcard. Everything works but it just takes a bit longer to load things and get things cached as its on the sdcard and not nand. Also if you have any input or are wishing to help pm me I need more heads to get this sorted as I can’t be the only one who knows how to edit scripts and unpack imgs and such. Either way I will continue to do this until I get it right damit!!! Oh and I just ordered a class 10 sdcard to help with this process…
That was copied from the other thread that mustangtim started. Last night when I went home the first thing I did was change the mount points on rom1 to reflect rom2, I changed nada else, then I tried to boot it... it boot looped. So maybe its a permissions issue or the system.img.
So just as a proof of concept and before anyone calls bs on my work/findings Here is the link to my rom1 that boots and is HFP2.1. *Update, 'm just going to
leave it on my DB for now till I find something better I guess. xda wont let me attach the file since its 233MB. Oh well here is the link :
Code:
[URL="http://db.tt/eBZwrOrs"][U][B]Here it is, my Rom1 HFP 2.1[/B][/U][/URL].
I have also attached my updated script file to flash back to rom1, for now.
The boot.img points to rom1 instead of phone rom, ill add to phone rom
as well, just not the now. :) Feel free to flash this via cwm versus
restoring...
Also this is part of the this: the ‘.zips’ folder you need to replace the file in
that folder as well. It’s an update file for rom1 to flash the boot.img.
..
If you’re going to use this you need install a random rom to rom1 then replace those created files in rom1 with these files in the 7z file..
So I am doing this new thread to get the devs or people with know how to help me out with my findings. I have edited the boot.img so much I could pretty much re-write everything in there by now including using magic to create to my own kernel eff!! lol jk but seriously I need people with knowhow to provide confirmation of go or no go. Basically I have people whom have helped out but It seems that I'm the only one who has dug this far into this app(unless i've been misinformed) and I have no one on my level to talk with except the init2winit devs. Which are very helpful btw.
And lastly:
Conap said:
Guys if it's failing to make the boot.img first make sure your using the market version....others have released cracked versions of our app which they broke...if your using the actual market version just send me a pm or email [email protected] and send your log.txt from BootManager folder on sdcard and we'll get it straightened out. Thanks.

or post here or PM me, I'm always down to help out.
Also thanks go to the init2win team, Gflam and Conap as they started this app. and as well to Mustangtim as he brought me into the light of BMP.
So you got all that???!!!??? Now lets get this party started and get full support for dual booting. I will not rest until I get this working. Thanks for your time and possible assistance.
Ok so since I have a book above I thought this is a good place for links and such...
So just incase anyone is curious, here is the Official Boot Manager Manual
Here is a nice link for Tips and Tricks while Installing ROM's that so far has good info to help you watch via adb what the BMP is doing in its creation process.
Some FAQs:
When should I set up my phone ROM?
Set up your phone ROM EVERYTIME you install a new ROM to your phone so you can get back to your phone ROM and won't get stuck on your SD ROM.
My SD ROM seems to lag how can I fix this?
SD ROM lagging may be due to a few things which all have easy fixes. First fix is that most of you have class 2 cards which are what usually come with your phones. These have a much lower read/write then cards of a higher class, we recommend a class 6 card or above. Another easy solution is overclocking merely install a better kernel and use CPU Boost (or any other overclock app) to overclock your phone.
Can I nandroid my SD ROM slots?
Yes and no you can't nandroid them in the traditional sense of the word using recovery but this app works as a recovery for your SD ROM slots and you can back up your ROM slots within the app in the Manage Installed ROMs section which works as a nandroid for your slots by fully backing up your slots to your sdcard which can later be restored.
What if I want to change the sizes of my images, how may I determine the individual sizes easily?
Easiest way is to open up terminal emulator in your app drawer. Type 'su', then grant permissions if need be, then type 'df -h' and it will display such information. You may also use adb in the same fashion. Connect via usb, open up command prompt/terminal and get adb connected and then type 'df - h' again and the same info will show. I will say this again just because, do not decrease the size of your system.img ever! Unless you want mad issues!

This app will be extremely useful for G2X owners and makes the G2X more versatile and desirable.

no we had a miscommunication due to our avail times and GB's lacking ability to utilize two accounts on gtalk.... I have posted those files in the op however...
First, I want to thank everyone who has helped with us on this app. Second, I know I picked the right man for the job, did you see that OP! All kidding aside, a lot of you know I write for ACS under screen name artifintel. I just had too much on my plate to give this project the attention and direction it needs. The right guy is in charge, he's a stand up person and very knowledgeable with this app. Good luck everyone!

and no bootloop you say?? well then it may be the stock rom your using... The app is very picky and if you get a bootloop, I feel that those can get booted with tweaks... but stuck on lg screen is just no bueno.. Try a different rom... maybe one that has its partitions at ext3 format just to try it.. I think owains rom uses ext4, but I could be wrong. I havent fully researched his rom yet..
hands down, a badass app...

[RECOVERY][TF101][OFFICIAL] TWRP 2.3.2.3 with on-screen keyboard! [2012-12-12]

Team Win Recovery Project 2.3, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
Phone look:
Tablet look:
CHANGELOG for 2.3.2.3:
-Fixes / enhancements to handle the multiple user setup introduced by Android 4.2 (see notes)
-Fixed a bug with deleting a backup with a space in the name
-Added highlights on keyboard key presses
-TF101: Ignore blkid when mounting /data
CHANGELOG for 2.3.0.0:
-Rebased onto AOSP Jelly Bean source code
-Rewrote backup, restore, wipe, and mount code in C++ classes for easier maintenance going forward
NOTE: backups from prior versions of TWRP are still compatible with 2.3
-ADB sideload functionality from AOSP is included in 2.3, see this link for more info
-Re-wrote fix permissions entirely in C++ and runs in a few seconds instead of a few minutes (thanks to bigbiff)
-Improvements to zip finding in OpenRecoveryScript (should be a lot fewer GooManager automation issues)
-Faster boot times
-Added charging indicator while in recovery (only updates once every 60 seconds)
While this update may not bring a host of new must-have features, this update is a significant re-write of much of the core TWRP code. AOSP Jelly Bean recovery source moved to mostly C++ code and now all of the "TWRP" code is fully rewritten into C++ as well. Now that we've laid this groundwork, we're in a much better position to pull in future AOSP recovery updates as well as implementing more great new features.
Since TWRP 2.3 is based on AOSP jelly bean sources, TWRP now uses recovery API 3 instead of 2. Some zips may no longer work if the developer is using an out-of-date update-binary. This API change should not be a problem on newer devices, but older devices will probably encounter several zips that need to be updated. If needed, you can try using this update-binary that was compiled with current sources. It goes in your zip file in the META-INF/com/google/android folder.
DOWNLOAD:
The fastest and easiest way to install TWRP is to use the GooManager app:
Play Store Link
Direct Download
1) Install GooManager from the Play Store
2) Open GooManager and provide root permissions
3) Hit Menu (or the button with the 3 dots on your screen) and then Install OpenRecovery
OR:
You can find more information and download links on our website!
NOTE: If you're coming from another build of TWRP, you may need to go into settings and tap reset defaults to reset the storage paths so that you can see your zip files.
BUGS:
If you have found a bug, please acquire a recovery.log - you can do this in two ways - the fastest is "adb pull /tmp/recovery.log" right after you have the issue. Alternatively in the advanced menu there's an option to copy the log to the sdcard. Also consider posting it to our github issues log. It's pretty much impossible for us to keep up with the more than 30 threads that we have for the devices that we "directly" support. If you have a significant problem that cannot be answered in this thread, your best bet is to contact us via our website, or find us in our IRC channel below. If you see someone that's struggling, feel free to point it out to us. We need your help to help us keep track of all of our devices! Thanks!
SUPPORT:
Live support is available via #twrp on Freenode with your IRC client or just click this link.
We also now back up and restore boot! Yay!
Want to compile yourself?
I'm using this config: https://github.com/ViViDboarder/android_device_asus_tf101
And this kernel: https://github.com/ViViDboarder/android_kernel_TF101
And compiling against CM9 source tree
Further device specific announcements will go here
A few thanks for this specific build:
Roach2010 for helping be me test and find the mystery kernel
RaymanFX for finding a config that worked. Still not sure where he found it yet exactly
And... Dees_Troy and eyeballer for their relentless nagging
first ...
well second lol
So, third ......thanks guys, that's awesome !
thanks, been waiting for this.
great work, i've been waiting forever and finally have this on all my devices and those that I support.
I've been using the other one RaymanFX had built and both are awesome. Only 1 change other than the known issues, would be remove the "Bootloader" button under restart. But just my opinion. Thanks Again.

Good note. That's a theme issue then. I can build a new theme zip or something later. Working on releasing the much delayed Nexus One build.
EDIT: I've been informed by Dees_Troy that we have build flags to do just this. So I'm adding them to my configs so the next build should have them removified.
It's worth pointing out that this build of TWRP has a recompiled kernel with boot and recovery exposed. You can finally back up boot and restore it.
GooManager keeps hanging at Looking for recoveries after trying to install OpenRecoveryScript. Unable to retrieve files...
Finally recovery on a touch screen device the way it should be! Thanks guys!

I thought I would give this a try and went to the TWRP page link as instructed. Followed the instructions to download the open recovery through goo manager, which it did and it rebooted my tablet and all looked good. I then tried to reboot to recovery from Team EOS3 Power menu. The usual TWRP blue curtain was there and when it raised, I saw the text at the bottom that my /data partition was being formatted without formatting /data/media and the tablet rebooted, without ever getting to the TWRP recovery menu and I'm now back at the initial Google setup screen. Guess I should have made a fresh Titanium backup first. A warning would have been nice, or is this a bug?
Strange. But I copped the blob from twrp site as "not recommended" suposedly. Ran the command in terminal cuz I don't Fux with goo manager... Everything worked fine. No issues

Since it's installed now and it wiped my data without asking, I'm going to clear things out and reflash everything. I will test if it tries to wipe my data again after I reinstall a few apps.

Weird. It didn't wipe my data. Just installed nicely as per instructions.
running great with no issues I used goo manager app but i flashed it through the flash roms selection on the main menu not the 3-dot menu install open recovery script selection.

No, I was using RaymanFX's TWRP build prior to this and before that Team Rogue Touch and before that Roach's CWM build, all flashed from within recovery. I only did the GooManager thing because that was the recommended method. Subsequent boots to recovery did not reproduce the data wipe and after reflashing my ROM and restoring my apps, I went into recovery without a hitch. It was only after installing this one through GooManager per the instructions. It downloaded, rebooted and flashed and rebooted back to Android (Team EOS3 JB #57). After a few minutes I rebooted to recovery from the Power menu in EOS3 and as soon as the blue curtain raised it was wiping my data partition - /data/media. Of course, I didn't expect that and didn't get any chance to stop it. I know I read somewhere before that open recovery wasn't working on the TF101, but since this was new and it was recommended to use open recovery, I just assumed that meant it was now working. Oh well, all is well now.
never mind i figured it out, open recovery only works with internal for now.(it may be because TWRP-2.2.1.4 is mounting the micro SD as /sdc instead of /storage/sdcard0) I moved the goomanager folder to /data/media updated the download folder location in the goomanager app settings to /data/media/goomanager re-ran flash roms from the goomanager apps made my selections and order to flash and selected wipe Cache and Dalvik and it ran just fine, it rebooted to recovery, flashed all the zips(including my mods) in the proper order and booted back up with no issues.
Running EOS3-N58 at this time.
Dam sweet once i figured it out!
Great job!
Thanks

I had already flashed EOS3-N58, but had changed some files experimenting with getting Polaris Office to work and gave up. So, I followed your suggestion and moved a few other files that I normally flash along with the ROM and it worked like a charm. Pretty nifty. I setup the order to flash for EOS3-N58, gapps, Guevor kernel, nVidia codecs, iobusy, and DSP Manager along with the preliminary cache and Dalvik cache wipes and it just worked like you say. Thanks. I hadn't tried that feature yet, mostly because until now I thought it might break something since I had read that open scripting wasn't working yet for TF101 somewhere. I can say now, with this recovery and your change to the download folder, that it is working and working well. You just have to have whatever files you want to flash in that folder (or maybe just somewhere in /data/media) and you're good to go.
