Rogue XM Touch Recovery v1.5.0-R1
(CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.8)
For the Asus Transformer TF101​
First off, thank you to...
Team Rogue
Koush
CyanogenMod Team
j-r0dd
Solarnz
Roach2010​
All I did slap together all their hard work to make it work on the TF101.​
Sources
Rogue Recovery
The source and more info for Rouge Recovery is available in the Xoom release thread from Team Rogue. I have not made any modifications to it to work with the TF101. You can find that thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235170
The discussion of the touch release in that thread begins here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235170&page=13#123​
Recovery Kernel
I used the kernel from Roach2010's ClockworkMod Recovery 3.2.0.1 release here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213723​
Device Tree
Mostly based on AOKP's TF101 device tree, just picked out the parts needed to compile the recovery. Particularly BoardConfig.mk:

Updates
[2012-05-25] 1.5.0-R1 (5028-based)
Updated to Rogue XM Recovery v1.5.0 which is touch-enabled with the same features as before. See the Xoom release thread for more information on Rogue Recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235170
Can also finally use the boot to recovery option available in some ROMs thanks to the recovery boot loop fix from Roach2010 from here:

Workaround for small menu targets
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26142147&postcount=151
If I can figure out a way to just make the menu items taller, I'll make an update. Otherwise I'm waiting for Rogue to implement it first.​
[2012-01-14] 1.3.0-R1 (5027-based)
Original release, non-touch​
Info
Mounting as USB storage does not work. (Accessing the tablet or SD card from your computer when plugged in via USB)​
Installation
I tested this the best I could, but use at your own risk. I am not liable for data loss, spontaneous combustion, temporal anomalies, or anything in between.
Just flash the attached zip from CWM.
There's also an nvflash version that has the recovery.img in it and will only flash the recovery if you prefer that method. Or just so you don't have to unpack the blob file if you need the recovery.img.​
Misc:
I did this because I thought it'd be nice to have a newer recovery for our TF101s, but also because I want to learn to do some sort of development even if it's just building for similar devices. I'm still new to using anything like git or using C/Java like this so don't expect miracles right away if bugs come up! I have some experience with other languages, but not in this kind of application.

Thank you, looks nice. Doing a nand backup right now with it.

there was someone in one of the ics threads, looking for this, they,ll be chuffed to bits.

To do that, you have to extract the zip and then unpack the blob file... but I updated the OP with an extra nvflash version that flashes just the recovery and gives you the recovery.img.

Finally...a relatively current back up for the TF!!
THANK YOU!!
Backing up with 3201, then installing this.
Beautiful work!! Works flawlessly!

Finally! A 5.x.x.x CWM recovery
Does this allow flashing from both internal and external?
On my Galaxy Nexus, they also have a touch softkey mod that has softkeys for up, down, back, and select. Not a big deal but something cool to look into if you get bored.
LTE EX Galaxy Nexus - CM9 AOKP
Asus Transformer - Revolver

Can we get a list of features? I've never flashd CWM 5.x.x.x so just curious, and would make a good addition I think..

It's basically the same as 3207 with the ability to flash from and back up to internal memory.
And seems a bit more stable.

Worked for me. Way way way better color scheme and it booted quick! Thanks!

its definitely not the same as v3.x.... that being said however, simply look at the android_bootable_recovery github to see the differences since v3.x
I think with the latest versions its even possible to use the mount usb with the tablets own MicroSD card where-as in the v3.x tree it wasnt (thanks to v5.x's inclusion of dual mount support, specifically done to support devices with large internal storage)
Still, i have to agree with everyone else, its REALLY nice to finally see a v5.x CWM... using it on my HD2, Evo Shift, and HeroC, it really was a surprising difference from when I was sticking with v3.x

Just awesome!!! Thanks so much!

this needs to be moved to the dev section, but great job!

Thanks! Installed successfully on two separate rooted B60 TF101's(ARHD 3.2, and Krakd 1.4.2)without any issues. Works great nice job!

New recovery works great!
Just flashed this without any issue. Nice look and feel. Are there more options available under the 'wipe' option, such as ability to wipe only cache or Dalvik cache like the 3.2.0.1 had? I haven't had a chance to look yet and didn't want to chance inadvertently wiping my device. Thanks.
[EDIT] I've now had time to look around and answer my own question. Yes, the other wipe options are there under the wipe menu item. Good to not see that sd card error all the time. So far it seems pretty flawless and better looking, too. I had to reflash my ROM last night and got to put it through it's paces.

Good job and thanks for carrying forward with recovery.
I did notice that at least on mine, I saw no 'connection' between the progress bar when doing a full advanced backup to the plugin SDCARD (normal backup as in the old days), or in other words, no sign of progress despite it working fine. I'm looking around the code to see what might have caused that.
The other interesting change not mentioned is that the backup file format/suffix is now .tar instead of .img. I tried using Titanium to restore an app from the backup with the .tar files, and it worked fine. Is .tar what the current versions of cwm are using?
Lastly: I know that to burn a kernel you have to use blobs on the tf101, so which .tar file contains the kernel blob? (I've not yet analyzed this yet and have assumed that you have to actually burn a kernel afterward to get one in place). What I was wondering is if we could get the equivalent of 'boot.img' from other v5 cwm's that are around, but I suppose ours would have to burn a blob rather than just unpack a .tar file.
EDIT: After reading through the original post about Rogue Recovery, I realized that in the last / prior release notes it mentioned this:
*Progress indication disabled by default again for speed (create /sdcard/clockworkmod/.hidenandroidprogress to enable progress)
Which took care of my initial gripe so check on off to me not reading enough ..
Thanks again --

I tested this by doing a full backup and restore. After the sucesfull backup, I then did the restore which it did restored from backup but wifi got broken and no way to turn was wifi on.

I also did a back up and restore and my Wifi is fine.
I did not do the advance backup just the regular backup.
Someone else reported this wifi problems using Roach's 3.2.0.1 CWM also.

Hmm, weird, I'm not sure why the recovery would break that unless it's failing to restore something or possibly failed to back something up. I did several backups and restores when I was checking to see if everything worked and never encountered that. Maybe try restoring the one giving your trouble a couple of times to see if it comes back?

Looks like somewhere around CWM 4 is when the switch to tar was made. It has better the speed along with the ability to back up and restore the correct filesystem. Sounds like the progress thing was added somewhere around then as well.

Looking at a kernel zip, it uses dd to put the blob in /dev/block/mmcblk0p4, which is also where the recovery goes... I clearly need to learn more about what's going on here when flashing a kernel or recovery to the same thing and what the function of the blob is.
Looking in the nandroid backuip system tar though, it grabs the /system/lib/modules folder which some kernel zips add to, so the nandroid is backing that up. I'm not sure if nandroid, at least in its current state, is able to back up or restore the kernel itself because of the whole blob thing?
Hmm, perhaps I should make a feature list instead of just saying look at the Xoom release thread!

[Q] Ubuntu SBKv2 & Asus Stock Apps.

First does anyone have a .zip for the Asus stock apps? I had an older copy of the revolver removed apps file and I accidentally deleted it, the one that is currently linked on the revolver ROM shows as corrupted.
Has anyone been able to successfully Dual-boot Ubuntu on sbkv2 devices? What is your current method to doing so?
I tried the modified version of OLiFE with wheelie but ended up in an APX boot loop and had to flash back to stock.
I tried to use my own ROM (revolver) and the net-install version of ubuntu so perhaps I 'injected' them incorrectly.
Could not find much of a guide to do this...
Was interested in trying franks tools because that seems to be the easiest option (My main OS is windows but I have Ubuntu installed on an flash drive)
I tried the method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23428126 but I didnt add or copy the .lib modules and my recovery was internal sd access only (working on updating that)
Plus the whole pseudo dual boot thing seems like a pain in the ass...
Any thoughts on the net install version of ubuntu?
How do you go about flashing or updating Roms when you are dual booting?
Thanks!

Wanna try my tutorial?
Well its bit messy, but i am lookign for osme fixes in ubuntu.

The Part where I get confused is the boot image and system image I may have messed up there?
Where do you place/name the net-install img?
Also as far as the rom and kernel go do you have to get that set up and then do a backup and use that or do you still have access to android recovery to flash zips?
Thanks!

OH SHOOT! i didn t say where to paste >.<
Ok paste in the image folder.
its inside he olife folder.
Yeah you have set up roms and kernel.
I dont recommend to go stock, but AR HD. In find its only proper working stock ICS and a working usb.
Further I had some difficulties installing ... Libre if oyu want to use as office.

So install the rom and kernel you want to use, do a backup then copy the system & boot imgs from the backup.
From what i understood you have to rename the net-install img to ubuntu.img? Is that correct?
Yeah definitely planning on using it for word editing etc (for school)
Right now I'm using team EOS nightlys for the rom and the kat kernel.
It's running very well so i might stick with that.
So you are not able to flash updates for android once you go dual boot?
Thanks I will probably try this out again when I get home later.

You mean recovery? If you want recovery u need to wait for Franktools SBk2v, but it cause apx bootloop so its removed.
Backup ur data to with recovery or titanium backup.
I recommend to use normal ubuntu ( with GDM) and then install enlightment.
Why i recommend normal ubuntu, becasue it was only working libre office, but you can try something else

So far no luck still isn't working.
Maybe it's the net-installer I'm having issues with I might just try the regular ubuntu.img if franks tools aren't back up soon (I just wanted to try the easier way.)
I tried just installing linux by itself and got some penguins and scripts running but it was in apx boot loop after that.
Had to flash to stock and rebuild.
I think I might wait for kenshin to fix franks tools (which might take a while from the looks of it)

U got teamviewer and skype or somesort?
I can help u with that if you dont understand any thing of the tutorial.
IF you add me at skype (naruto.fbi any one can add me ) i can help u :].
Did you have any errors?
I had error thatkernel was to big ( 9.4 mb) i change some code adn i could flash it.
Maybe u have the same?
I hear form u soon

No errors, Have had my rom and kernel installed. Did the android backup using olife. Copied the olife backup files and renamed them (boot and system IMG files) to the images folder.
Then flashed device with dual boot tried both android and linux as the default and neither way worked.
Tried installing linux only and it doesnt work.
I just keep getting apx boot loops.
I dont have team viewer or skype so I was wondering if you might share your olife folder that you used to install (in case I was doing something wrong)
but if you have personal info in the backups i understand.
I think I might take you up on that offer and hit you up on skype or with team viewer, but maybe later this week because I'm going to be very busy with work/school for a few days.
Thanks for your help

Well i can send u my olife folder.
It contain the 2.1 gb ubuntu (11.10) and the net installer. Also android system are: AR HD( ICS) with gevour kernel if you dont mind.
It also contin a jhinta kernel which you can flash over it. Flash it with chromeOS ( in update and then advance)
Also i change some size for the kernel.
Kernel size was to big.
All fixed :3.
I will send u the folder as soon as i can ^^.
Few backdraws at the moment with ubuntu:
No flash support anymore by adobe (few alternetives like gapps( to slow and laggy) and lightspark(need to be tested)
Libre has some difficulties installin in gnome classic install of net installer and englightment.
At the moment libre works in ubunu with gdm.
Even linux for tegra installed it seems like it cant see the processor ( currenly in net-installer, it does show in livistie ubuntu.),
Google chrome cant be installed :\ ( no arm packages).
Net-installer can have some frustation on the wifi configuration.

That actually looks pretty cool, I really wanted ubuntu for a more powerful text editor and maybe a few other things.
Might be more convenient.

Yes indeed.
If you are skilled, this is quite a neat solution giving you lots of power over the Android device. But since it can be somewhat tricky for the beginner to implement, if only a GNU/Linux environment is needed, and not the control over the Android environment, it is much easier to run the GNU/Linux environment jailed, instead of Android jailed as here.
But this is of course way much cooler.

[Q] TF700T Version 10.6.1.14.8 - Unlocking, Flashing?

Hey Guys,
I have been reading on the forum about unlocking, and ROM changing, I'm not new to Android, have a galaxy S2 with ReVolt 4.3 ROM - JB 4.2.2, but my TF700T already is updated to the latest version (10.6.1.14.8) and at least where I have been reading, the unlocker from Asus doesn't work on JB, and the NvFlash won't work after a certain version of the bootloader.
SOOOOOOOOO
Am I screwed? Is there a way to downgrade the version / bootloader so I can unlock and use NvFlash? I can't stand this horrible stock, slow, laggy ROM, so I'm really interested in a way to put my hands on Cromi-X ROM, or others.
Thanks for the help, sorry if my research on the forum was not deep enough to find out what I need.

First, I have not read anywhere that people hard brick their devices with the Asus unlock tool. Either you can unlock it or have problem to unlock it.
Second, people reported that they have unlocked their devices on JB. However, it is always good to do some researches before doing anythings to be safe with. Good luck.

Good work so far! It's not easy to sift through all the info out there, especially if some of it is hopelessly outdated
NVflash: forget about it. You could get NVflash pre-.30 version of the rom and bootloader. Once you were .30 or higher - no way to do it. You're going to have to do it without a net
Asus website says the Unlock tool works only on ICS, but has been used by countless users to unlock on JB 4.1 as well as 4.2. Go ahead, try it and kiss your warranty good bye (you do know that you loose it, don't you?).

Thanks, you just killed the main questions I had, and gave me a quick but really good tutorial hehe.
CROMI-X installed, now I'm deciding if I use Apex or Stock Asus launcher, I have Apex on my S2, so I'm giving a shot on the tablet. I know it is taste, have any indication? I'm willing to try some more.
Already saw a huge speed improvement and responsiveness on the tablet, liking it a lot =D
My digging already provided me more knowledge on android, just by reading some links on the involved posts I found going link to link, but here I found something that got my attention and why not have your opinion on it, the Data2SD MOD, where you format your SDCard to be the /data of the system, I have a 64Gb Class 10 Sandisk card, do you consider this MOD really worth it? If I understood it, the memory inside the TF700 would just store the android OS, all the rest (App + App Data + User Data) would be on the SDCard? Because I usually search before asking I don't have posts enough (yet!) to post on dev section, if you have some more detailed info about this please share it.
On more thing, on my S2 I used CWM and formatted all the partitions (wanted a full clean-up before going from one rom (4.0.4) to another(4.2.2)), is there a way to do it on the TF700 / TWRP ? I was navigating around some folders and found more stuff and some repeated folders around, would like to clean all that is not necessary.
Thanks a lot for the help.

Thanks, you just killed the main questions I had, and gave me a quick but really good tutorial hehe.
CROMI-X installed, now I'm deciding if I use Apex or Stock Asus launcher, I have Apex on my S2, so I'm giving a shot on the tablet. I know it is taste, have any indication? I'm willing to try some more.
Already saw a huge speed improvement and responsiveness on the tablet, liking it a lot =D

Good, glad you got it going!
Reg Data2SD: As far as I understand, what it does is use your sd card to write processes into memory instead of the much slower internal memory on the TF700. Important: we are talking about memory, or ram here, not storage. The slow memory is the weakest point of this tablet.
It used to speed up the TF700 quite a bit, but has always caused lots of problems with and during installation, when moving to a new rom, you're restricted which kernel you can use.......
Ever since CromiX 4.5 or so it does not seem to give you much if any performance improvement anymore. Most regulars in the CromiX thread have given up on it, I always felt it's more headache than I want to deal with.
Yeah, you can do all sorts of wipes in TWRP. From the main screen choose Wipe.
If you want to do a clean install, choose "advanced wipe" and select everything except your external card. That will wipe your whole system. You better have the rom you want to install on your microSD if you wipe System .
You will have to re-install your apps, set up Google account etc.
I have not had problems when I restored user apps and data from Titanium Backup. But it's not recommended to restore any system data.
You probably won't get rid of the duplicate folders though. The file system in JB 4.2 is driving me nuts. Since they added multi-user support everything is less than intuitive.
Thinking of it: My data in sdcard/emulated/0 did not get wiped during my last clean installation.
Maybe the "Wipe Data" option in TWRP does it? IDK

Data2SD stores apps and app data on the microSD card. Important: we are talking about storage, not RAM, here. The slow internal eMMC is one of the weakest points of this tablet.

The internal memory is really slow for what is saying on the topic, aside of the android system it isn't worth store anything on this memory, do you know how I can benchmark my internal memory?

I don't know, it's not so much trouble when you have been using Linux on the desktop for 10 years.
I use it as a directly runnable backup and for development purposes - my pre-init script auto-detects the card and uses it only if present. So I have two completely separate data environments (apps, app data, settings) that I can switch by rebooting.
Many users found that disabling fsync in the kernel is a good enough workaround for the bad random write performance of the internal storage. Other I/O operations are sufficiently fast anyway.

The latest incarnation of my Data2SD script uses the internal memory for /sdcard (but you can still use the other version if you want). For benchmarking, you can try e.g Androbench, or search the Play store.

Hehehe yeah, you are really used to the unix world.
Have to say that your idea / implementation is really good, you have two system's data, I have to say that I will consider this, when I start developing, studying java once more, don't remember nothing from college -_-, true is I never liked it, but QT is not 100% reliable on Android yet, and I'm thinking on a commercial appliance...
I was considering it "trouble" because it will take some time at first, I want to find a formatting tool that doesn't need to be burned on a CD, do you know any one? It can be from the linux world too, I'm not sure, but I think I can do it from a VM I have here.
The concept is not that terrible, "basically" it just do a symbolic link to trick the system.
One question, if you do a titanium backup from the actual data + apps (I'm using CROMI-X and will continue to use it), and them try to restore it after the symlink is done, will TB be able to restore it at the new place (SD Card), or it will recreate it all at the original location? I'm not wanting to install all the apps again.
I'm not sure if I disabled fsync on CROMI-X installation, is there a way to check it?
Will benchmark when I get home.
Thanks!

The mount-data2sd.zip script will mount the microSD card as /data, so any following backup/restore operations will be directed to the card.

Code:
cat /sys/devices/virtual/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled
0 is disabled, 1 is enabled. You can also write to that file to temporarily (until the next reboot) enable/disable fsync, e.g.
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled
To make it permanent, you have to write it into a startup script in /system/etc/init.d.

Alright, I disabled it on the setup.
One thing I noticed, if the tablet start's updating a app from google play it just get monster slow, so I will try the mount-data2sd for sure, this tablet has the power to run always smoothly.
Will backup and do it, when I have results I come back here hehehe (or when I face a hard to solve problem).

Will give it a test run.

After using this on my phone, I'm excited to see this for my tablet as well. So far the only thing that I have found not working was the mounting the SD card through the recovery doesn't seem to work, it was connected to the computer when I mounted it but my computer couldn't see it. It also seems that the recovery is a bit slower on my tablet than on my phone, d2spr, though it might just be the tablet itself.

Ah okay, well so far that's the only bug in the recovery I noticed, and I wouldn't have even noticed it if I had remembered to put the kitkat gapps on my device before wiping it. Haha
Really nice job though, I'm glad you brought it over since I've had issues with plain cwm in the past and twrp doesn't seem to be getting updated at the moment I thank you for bringing this to my tablet.

Thank you so much for this nice tool and give us choices. I flashed it and the UI is just beautiful. Now I'll go test all its functions.

Reboot your tablet and that's it.
You could rename as you wish, also, I'm running CM 11 so the file directory might be different.
Or you can flash the zip that lj made.

TF300T Terminal Emulator TWRP.blob HELP!

Hey guys, I need a little help getting the Custom Recovery TWRP to work with terminal emulator.
I have the Asus Transformer Pad TF300T(WIFI Only)
Android Version: 4.2.1
Build Number: 10.6.1.27.5
Bootloader: Unlocked with Asus Unlock Tool(Restart with small print in top left corner "This device is unlocked")
Root: Rooted with KingoRoot
My problem is everytime I open up the Terminal Emulator(The reason for using this method is because I dont have a USB cable to connect to the computer) I type in
SU (a little popup shows it granted superuser access)
I then type in
dd if=/removeable/microsd/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
It then tells me
/removeable/microsd/twrp.blob: cannot open for read: No such file or directory
Full Terminal Emulator DOS screen:
[email protected]: / $ SU
[email protected]: / # dd if=/removeable/microsd/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
/removeable/microsd/twrp.blob: cannot open for read: No such file or directory
I have the file renamed to TWRP.blob. I also have a TWRP.img that I've tried and its in the root of my sd card. I've even tried formatting my sd card for android because before this i never used it for anything.
Any help would be appreciated.

Download the SuperSU (Chainfire) from Playstore. Then you will get access to the Terminal Emulator.
PS: Please download Kang TWRP 2.8.7.2 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf300t/development/recovery-twrp-t3046479. This is the right TWRP version you need for both KatKiss Rom N7.1.1 and MM 6.0.1. There is also an install instruction for using Terminal.

I think the communication problem might be your SD card. The format must be FAT 32. Either reformat it on your PC or use a new one.
The terminal code is "dd if=/sdcard/foo.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4", "foo" stands for "twrp_tf300t_kang_2.8.7.2_signed."
This command also expects the file "twrp_tf300t_kang_2.8.7.2_signed.image" to be on /sdcard.
Take care that the terminal can communicate with your SD card. That means the command has to be written very very correctly. No capital letters for instant.

NO!!! Just stay on 3.0.2. You are fine with that version. It's the latest released for this tablet and sooner or later those still on lj's kang version will have to update anyway. ..
If amazing master wizard Tim still keeps cranking out roms this tablet was never supposed to see.
You're good, you did good, but get the heck yourself a USB cable so that you have fastboot access. I hate to watch trapeze artists working without a net!!!

It is known that I belong to those user who swear on Tim's install instruction. This includes the advise in the first line there "You need Kang TWRP". Following that advise I have never had any TWRP issues. Are you really sure that an update on the latest TWRP won't cause any issues?
There is still the old wisdom in my mind "Never change a running system". Anyhow your advise is greatly appreciated.

I am sure.
There is nothing magically different or better about the Kang TWRP. It supports the dock SD which the official TWRP never did, but that's a feature I have used maybe twice in all that time I used it. Other than that there are some additional reboot options and GUI changes if I remember correctly, but the core is just TWRP. I think at the time lj made the recovery the offical TWRP had a bug with the f2fs conversion - can't quite remember - but for a while it was the go-to recovery for both the TF300 and TF700.
Don't get me wrong - it's a perfectly fine recovery and for all I know still supports even Nougat roms. There is no reason for you to change it if you stay on the same rom. But there's also no reason for somebody who flashed a 3.+ version already to downgrade to 2.8. Documented by the fact that Bamablood94 flashed Katkiss successfully.

I am now running nougat 7.1.1 from katkiss using the twrp 3.0.2.0 using the TWRP Manager app and also downloaded the mini GApps. I didnt realize that was something I also had to install until i realized there was no play stor or any other google related apps but I have invested in a 5 dollar usb data cable from ebay which should come in sometime this week. My other problem now seems to be that this thing dont like running too many apps in the background and when you first start up a program it likes to lag it a tad bit untill it runs a little smoother. I appreciate the help guys.

Welcome to the wonderful world of the Transformer, my friend. If you expect this tablet to run anywhere close to the performance of any current device, you will be disappointed.
Asus thought up a genius form factor and then ruined it by crippling it by not giving it enough ram and a cheap, slow memory chip on top of it.
You have to go easy on this baby.
Turn off automatic updates in the Play Store.
Turn off automatic updates and syncing for as many apps as you can stand.
If you don't use an app, get rid of it.
Do NOT use the Facebook app. It's a piece of cra** anyway and really hard on resources
In the 700 forum Tim posted some fine tuning tips a while back. If I find it, I'll add the link later
Develop a good backup/restore routine (e.g Titanium Backup) and then format data every 3 months or so - depending on how much you use the tablet.
If you haven't, convert /data to f2fs. That really helps on this tablet let.
Enjoy

BTW, the same tips put Tim in a TF300T thread as well:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71094836&postcount=615
To my opinion the best performance with KatKiss N7 on the TF300T will be reached with a RAM use of around 65%. That means to keep the amount of apps as low as possible. In my case up to 45 apps, but mostly less. Always have an eye on piggy apps.

I appreciate the help guys I don't use the tablet much since I have an Asus phone but I install the zenui launcher and to my surprise it seemed to help the "lag" just a bit. Again I appreciate the help I don't get on xda often but when I need help this is my go to place.
