- clock and battery stats now effectively refresh every 30 seconds and during nandroid operations
- toggle vibrator on/off on touch
- toggle key repeat for volume up/down scrolling when maintained pressed
- key repeat also enabled for virtual buttons
- set time zone + 30mn offset + DST: correct time can now be set for nandroid backup path and clock
- time setting is now applied to all recovery session, including timestamp of created/modified files (v4.92.3+)
- capture recovery screen shots with a gesture action
- one file to save all settings
- backup and restore settings file
- reset to default settings option
- prompt to restore your settings from a backup when they are wiped by a new ROM install
- option to auto restore your settings from a backup without a prompt
- all toggles are applied live, without restart of recovery (except reset of stock CWM background image)

PhilZ Touch 5 Quick Guide
It is based on Koush clockworkmod 6.x to which I added many features and a full reliable touch interface
Version 5 brings mainly a true touch and scroll interface with a much more optimized and portable touch source
How to select your .android_secure path
In Custom Backup and Restore operations, you can select the target/source for android.secure or disable it
In stock backup/restore operations, include those started with ROM Manager, you can also force a target/source for .android_secure
basically, recovery will check first external storage for a .android_secure folder. If it doesn't find it, it will look in internal storage
If you want for example .android_secure to be in internal sd, just delete .android_secure folder from external sd and ensure there is a .android_secure folder in internal sd
for external sd, just ensure there is a .android_secure folder in it. It will be chosen what ever is the internal sd state
Custom Backup and Restore menu
This is one of the most powerful features of this recovery.
It is made completely open source code, built from sratch. Just keep credits headers and give proper credit if you use them
You can select which partitions you want to backup or restore
You can choose your .android_secure source and target or even disable it
You can set it to reboot directly after job is done
backups will go under the folder clockworkmod/custom_backup
TWRP backups go under stock TWRP/BACKUPS/device_id folder and will be automatically recognized by TWRP
Custom Restore Menu allows you to restore from any of the stock clockworkmod/backup folder, the custom_backup or the TWRP backups
If your backup folder was moved to /sdcard/0/clockworkmod after installing Android 4.2, you can go through the Custom Restore process. When it prompts you to browse sdcards, it should show an additional menu to offer you to browse Android 4.2 folder (/sdcard/0). The additional menu is shown only if recovery detects a /sdcard/0/clockworkmod folder on /data/media devices
efs is backed up under clockworkmod/custom_backup/.efs_backup
modem.bin files can be named any_thing.bin and must go under clockworkmod/custom_backup/.modem_bin
if you enable compression and disable md5, your backups will no more be recognized by stock cwm builds. Otherwise, all stock and custom backups are backward compatible with stock cwm (except special partitions like preload, recovery, modem and efs which stock cwm doesn't support)
Open Recovery Script Support (ORS): revised and adapted from original sk8erwitskil source
On start, recovery looks automatically for /cache/recovery/openrecoveryscript installed by goomanager or any tasker. If it finds it, it is run and phone will reboot
You can also add custom ors scripts you edit your self:
When pressing the ors menu, it will look at default locations for your custom scripts:
clockworkmod/ors first in external_sd, then in internal sd. Put your custom scripts there with file extension .ors
That way you can access your jobs (flash, wipe, backup, restore...) instantly
If no scripts are found in default folder, you get option to browse both sdcards for a custom location
To learn how to write ors scripts to automate your backup/restore/wipe/flash tasks, read here, it is very easy: http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/OpenRecoveryScript
Give Goomanager a try
All backup and restore options are supported except special partitions 1, 2 and 3 (could add modem, efs and preload linked to them later)
/preload will be included with /system if you enabled the /preload option in Misc Nandroid Settings
you have an extra here: you can set the target volume for ors backups under Misc Nandroid Settings menu
Aroma File Manager Support *Adapted from amarullz and sk8erwitskil
You get here the possibility to browse your phone with root access in a friendly GUI file browser, while being in recovery
You even now get a terminal emulator to run in recovery
Download Aroma File Manager from its Home Page
Get the 1.80 version and name the file aromafm.zip
Put the aromafm.zip in clockworkmod/.aromafm/aromafm.zip in external or internal sdcards
In recovery, tap the Aroma File Manager menu or double tap any part of the screen outside menus
It will launch the file manager automatically
Double tap gesture linked to Aroma File Manager can be altered in the GUI Settings menu
Touch GUI Preferences:
This is another unique feature of this recovery and is built from scratch
You can toggle through 4 touch modes:
Full Touch: menus are validated by touching them. I added extra checks to make it robust to validation by error while scrolling. After scrolling, your first touch will only highlight touched menu instead of validate it. If a delay of 1 sec passed, it will validate immeadiately on touch
Double Tap: menus are highlighted on first touch. To validate action, you need to double tap the same menu
Semi Touch: the classic semi-touch interface I enhanced. Menus are selected/highlighted on first touch. You can scroll by swiping up/down, but no validation on touch.
Disable Touch: touch code completely disabled. You have all gui options left, but only hardware keys
When Full Touch mode is selected, it will automatically set recommended menu height, touch accuracy and scroll sensitivity. You can alter them later if you want
Scroll sensitivity controls scrolling on swipe up/down. Lower values are the most sensitive. Adjust this based on selected menu height
Touch accuracy: increase it if your touch gestures are not well accounted for
Config files are saved in /data/philz-touch/philz-touch_5.ini file.
You can do a backup of your settings file, it will go under /sdcard/clockworkmod/philz-touch.ini.bak
You can choose to be prompted to restore your settings whenever they are wiped while you have a backup. You can also set recovery to auto-restore them when needed. This check is done when you reboot to main system from within recovery
There are many gesture actions that you can setup at your wish (some default actions are setup by default)
Long press/move is the bad equivalent to a long press gesture action: just that after one sec of touch, slightly move your finger or change the pressure surface without actually lifting it
Your screen should auto-dim automatically after one minute and turn off after 3 mn. You can change those time settings. Just touch the screen to reset brightness and turn it on
All GUI parts can be customized: menu hight, text colors, menu colors, selection colors, background color and icon, menu seprators, battery and clock, header text...
To setup a custom background image: put a png image with your device resolution in a folder clockworkmod/custom_res
You can take screen shots from recovery display by the slide left gesture (change it at your wish). Pics captures will go under clockworkmod/screen_shots folder. External storage will be always used first. If no external storage is found, internal storage is used. You can take up to 999 pics before it resets to 1
Setup Free Browse Mode and Multi-zip Installer:
Free Browse Mode:
You can setup a default folder from where the Install Zip menu will start
From within your set default folder, you can now browse backward up to the root file system to install a zip file
Multi-zip Installer menu:
Lets you select multiple zip files to flash at the same time
The zip files must go into a subfolder under: "clockworkmod/multi_flash"
At least one subfolder with your zip files must be created. You can create as many subfolders as you want
exp: clockworkmod/multi_flash/NEAT_ROM_files
Easy Log View and Pause on Logs:
In Easy Log View mode, your logs will have a smaller size to better fit the screen. This will be completely revised in upcoming v5 though
Pause on Logs: when enabled, after flashing a zip file or doing a nandroid job, you will be prompted for a key to return to menu display. That way, logs are kept in full screen. Obviously, no pause will be performed on boot scripts and multi-zip operations

Mess? Not really.

Looks ok if I disable virtual keys and increase menu height to 16
But scrolling is a bit different from TWRP. TWRP's scrolling was similar to Android

Without you, a pico version would have never seen the light :good:
About scrolling: you cannot compare CWM and TWRP. They do not share the same GUI interface at all. This is first a CWM mod fully compatible with it. GUI can still improve obviously, but once todo list is done

But thank you for your work! Especially the new touch code.. Great Job! :good:

Note: after scroll, first touch will select only. After one sec of scrolling or on second touch, it will validate immediately. This is by design and not a bug. It is there to limit erroneous validation while scrolling

you already have an option for that
As stated in the above quoted message: please first get used to it, make the effort to dig and try different settings, and then, we can look at eventual bugs
PS: I won't be monitoring closely this thread. If there are some really tech issues, NiharG can contact me by PM

Version Information
Status: Beta
Beta Release Date: 2013-10-14
Created 2013-10-14
Last Updated 2013-10-14

PhilZ Touch 5 Quick Guide
It is based on Koush clockworkmod 6.x to which I added many features and a full reliable touch interface
Version 5 brings mainly a true touch and scroll interface with a much more optimized and portable touch source
How to select your .android_secure path
In Custom Backup and Restore operations, you can select the target/source for android.secure or disable it
In stock backup/restore operations, include those started with ROM Manager, you can also force a target/source for .android_secure
basically, recovery will check first external storage for a .android_secure folder. If it doesn't find it, it will look in internal storage
If you want for example .android_secure to be in internal sd, just delete .android_secure folder from external sd and ensure there is a .android_secure folder in internal sd
for external sd, just ensure there is a .android_secure folder in it. It will be chosen what ever is the internal sd state
Custom Backup and Restore menu
This is one of the most powerful features of this recovery.
It is made completely open source code, built from sratch. Just keep credits headers and give proper credit if you use them
You can select which partitions you want to backup or restore
You can choose your .android_secure source and target or even disable it
You can set it to reboot directly after job is done
backups will go under the folder clockworkmod/custom_backup
TWRP backups go under stock TWRP/BACKUPS/device_id folder and will be automatically recognized by TWRP
Custom Restore Menu allows you to restore from any of the stock clockworkmod/backup folder, the custom_backup or the TWRP backups
If your backup folder was moved to /sdcard/0/clockworkmod after installing Android 4.2, you can go through the Custom Restore process. When it prompts you to browse sdcards, it should show an additional menu to offer you to browse Android 4.2 folder (/sdcard/0). The additional menu is shown only if recovery detects a /sdcard/0/clockworkmod folder on /data/media devices
efs is backed up under clockworkmod/custom_backup/.efs_backup
modem.bin files can be named any_thing.bin and must go under clockworkmod/custom_backup/.modem_bin
if you enable compression and disable md5, your backups will no more be recognized by stock cwm builds. Otherwise, all stock and custom backups are backward compatible with stock cwm (except special partitions like preload, recovery, modem and efs which stock cwm doesn't support)
Open Recovery Script Support (ORS): revised and adapted from original sk8erwitskil source
On start, recovery looks automatically for /cache/recovery/openrecoveryscript installed by goomanager or any tasker. If it finds it, it is run and phone will reboot
You can also add custom ors scripts you edit your self:
When pressing the ors menu, it will look at default locations for your custom scripts:
clockworkmod/ors first in external_sd, then in internal sd. Put your custom scripts there with file extension .ors
That way you can access your jobs (flash, wipe, backup, restore...) instantly
If no scripts are found in default folder, you get option to browse both sdcards for a custom location
To learn how to write ors scripts to automate your backup/restore/wipe/flash tasks, read here, it is very easy: http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/OpenRecoveryScript
Give Goomanager a try
All backup and restore options are supported except special partitions 1, 2 and 3 (could add modem, efs and preload linked to them later)
/preload will be included with /system if you enabled the /preload option in Misc Nandroid Settings
you have an extra here: you can set the target volume for ors backups under Misc Nandroid Settings menu
Aroma File Manager Support *Adapted from amarullz and sk8erwitskil
You get here the possibility to browse your phone with root access in a friendly GUI file browser, while being in recovery
You even now get a terminal emulator to run in recovery
Download Aroma File Manager from its Home Page
Get the 1.80 version and name the file aromafm.zip
Put the aromafm.zip in clockworkmod/.aromafm/aromafm.zip in external or internal sdcards
In recovery, tap the Aroma File Manager menu or double tap any part of the screen outside menus
It will launch the file manager automatically
Double tap gesture linked to Aroma File Manager can be altered in the GUI Settings menu
Touch GUI Preferences:
This is another unique feature of this recovery and is built from scratch
You can toggle through 4 touch modes:
Full Touch: menus are validated by touching them. I added extra checks to make it robust to validation by error while scrolling. After scrolling, your first touch will only highlight touched menu instead of validate it. If a delay of 1 sec passed, it will validate immeadiately on touch
Double Tap: menus are highlighted on first touch. To validate action, you need to double tap the same menu
Semi Touch: the classic semi-touch interface I enhanced. Menus are selected/highlighted on first touch. You can scroll by swiping up/down, but no validation on touch.
Disable Touch: touch code completely disabled. You have all gui options left, but only hardware keys
When Full Touch mode is selected, it will automatically set recommended menu height, touch accuracy and scroll sensitivity. You can alter them later if you want
Scroll sensitivity controls scrolling on swipe up/down. Lower values are the most sensitive. Adjust this based on selected menu height
Touch accuracy: increase it if your touch gestures are not well accounted for
Config files are saved in /data/philz-touch/philz-touch_5.ini file.
You can do a backup of your settings file, it will go under /sdcard/clockworkmod/philz-touch.ini.bak
You can choose to be prompted to restore your settings whenever they are wiped while you have a backup. You can also set recovery to auto-restore them when needed. This check is done when you reboot to main system from within recovery
There are many gesture actions that you can setup at your wish (some default actions are setup by default)
Long press/move is the bad equivalent to a long press gesture action: just that after one sec of touch, slightly move your finger or change the pressure surface without actually lifting it
Your screen should auto-dim automatically after one minute and turn off after 3 mn. You can change those time settings. Just touch the screen to reset brightness and turn it on
All GUI parts can be customized: menu hight, text colors, menu colors, selection colors, background color and icon, menu seprators, battery and clock, header text...
To setup a custom background image: put a png image with your device resolution in a folder clockworkmod/custom_res
You can take screen shots from recovery display by the slide left gesture (change it at your wish). Pics captures will go under clockworkmod/screen_shots folder. External storage will be always used first. If no external storage is found, internal storage is used. You can take up to 999 pics before it resets to 1
Setup Free Browse Mode and Multi-zip Installer:
Free Browse Mode:
You can setup a default folder from where the Install Zip menu will start
From within your set default folder, you can now browse backward up to the root file system to install a zip file
Multi-zip Installer menu:
Lets you select multiple zip files to flash at the same time
The zip files must go into a subfolder under: "clockworkmod/multi_flash"
At least one subfolder with your zip files must be created. You can create as many subfolders as you want
exp: clockworkmod/multi_flash/NEAT_ROM_files
Easy Log View and Pause on Logs:
In Easy Log View mode, your logs will have a smaller size to better fit the screen. This will be completely revised in upcoming v5 though
Pause on Logs: when enabled, after flashing a zip file or doing a nandroid job, you will be prompted for a key to return to menu display. That way, logs are kept in full screen. Obviously, no pause will be performed on boot scripts and multi-zip operations

I knew u would say that :good: In that case i too will use it until u stop developing (which i think it wont happen )

awesome work bro thanks for keeping beni alive!!

GUI preferences doesnt work. When i press it, nothing happens. And when i press power menu, the screen turns off and nevers turns on. Have to press home n power button to enter recovery. Wiping is slow compared to CWM5. Didn't check backup and restore options though. Only concern is GUI preferences.

hey yajnab!
The GUI Preference option not working!
But Every things feels good :good:

UM thats weird.Why would he keep them closed source as its the best part of the recovery? Without them, its similar to CWM6 recovery

Is the aroma file manager working on fit ? I'm askin cause its for processors with NEON.
And is it integrated in the recovery itself ?

Since I subscribed to above 150 threads, having that standard format for all is the only way so that I can keep track of changes to device threads in a very quick manner. Else, I just unsubscribe and drop the thread for any follow up
To release the zip.md5 checksum:
Code:
cd to/path/of/zip/file
md5sum philz_touch_6.07.9-arubaslim.zip > philz_touch_6.07.9-arubaslim.zip.md5
You get an md5 sum file that can be used in new PhilZ Touch version on flashing the zip
Also, keep in mind, that you cannot rename tar.md5 and zip files without rebuilding the checksum

DISCLAIMER:
Rooting your phone and using custom Recoveries and ROM's have risks and may result in bricking your device, and has nothing to do with Google or the device manufacturers. In case of any mishap I am not responsible if you brick/ruin your phone in any way.
Basic computer skills are required and minimal knowledge about the phone and phone utilities also.
Make sure that whatever you do, you are doing it at your own responsibility.
Introducing the PhilZ Touch 6 Recovery for almost any ARM V7 device (will have to test) specifically Alcatel MT6572 devices. My friend on XDA yuweng built the original PhilZ for my Alcatel device which i later ported to the Alcatel Pop D3.
Ported for the following devices so far:
Alcatel Pop C2
- PhilZ Touch Recovery 6
Alcatel Pop C3
-PhilZ Touch Recovery 6
Alcatel Pop D3
- PhilZ Touch Recovery 6
Credits:
- @yuweng Huge thanks for building for ARM v7 devices and for supporting custpack for Alcatel Devices. Thank him here :highfive:
- @Phil3759 for making the PhilZ recovery and for MT65xx support. Thank him here
- @michfood for his unpack/repack tools :laugh:
- @amarullz for aromafm

In stock backup/restore operations, include those started with ROM Manager, you can also force a target/source for .android_secure
basically, recovery will check first external storage for a .android_secure folder. If it doesn't find it, it will look in internal storage
If you want for example .android_secure to be in internal sd, just delete .android_secure folder from external sd and ensure there is a .android_secure folder in internal sd
for external sd, just ensure there is a .android_secure folder in it. It will be chosen what ever is the internal sd state
Custom Backup and Restore menu
This is one of the most powerful features of this recovery.
It is made completely open source code, built from sratch. Just keep credits headers and give proper credit if you use them
You can select which partitions you want to backup or restore
You can choose your .android_secure source and target or even disable it
You can set it to reboot directly after job is done
backups will go under the folder clockworkmod/backup (please move all contents of custom_backup folder used in previous versions to the default backup folder in cwm)
TWRP backups go under stock TWRP/BACKUPS/device_id folder and will be automatically recognized by TWRP
Custom Restore Menu allows you to restore from any of the stock clockworkmod backups, the custom backups or the TWRP backups
efs is backed up under clockworkmod/backup/.efs_backup
- efs must be selected alone for backup in cwm mode
- it will create 2 copies: a tar and raw img backup using cat/dd command
- to restore efs, under Custom Restore menu, select efs only and toggle between tar and .img
- restore .img format is advised, but tar will work under most circumstances
modem.bin files can be named any_thing.bin and must go under clockworkmod/backup/.modem_bin
- with that, you can flash modem.bin files that come with official firmware (may need unlocked devices for some models)
if you disable md5, your backups will no more be recognized by stock cwm builds. Look at next step to regenerate md5 for stock cwm compatibility. Otherwise, all stock and custom backups are backward compatible with stock cwm (except special partitions like preload, recovery, modem and efs which stock cwm doesn't support)
you can now recreate md5 sum for any backup you want. Use with caution!
Open Recovery Script Support (ORS): revised and adapted from original sk8erwitskil source
On start, recovery looks automatically for "/cache/recovery/openrecoveryscript" installed by goomanager or any tasker. If it finds it, it is run and phone will reboot
You can also add custom ors scripts you edit your self:
When pressing the ors menu, it will look at default locations for your custom scripts:
"clockworkmod/ors" first in extra storage, then in internal sd. Put your custom scripts there with file extension .ors
That way you can access your jobs (flash, wipe, backup, restore...) instantly
If no scripts are found in default folder, you get option to browse both storage volumes for a custom location
To learn how to write ors scripts to automate your backup/restore/wipe/flash tasks, read here, it is very easy: http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/OpenRecoveryScript
Give Goomanager a try
All backup and restore options are supported include special partitions 1, 2 and 3 and even extra 4 and 5 partitions (could add modem, efs and preload linked to them later)
/preload will be included with /system if you enabled the /preload option in Misc Nandroid Settings
you have an extra here: you can set the target volume for ors backups under Misc Nandroid Settings menu
ors backups can be set to either TWRP or CWM format
Aroma File Manager Support *Adapted from amarullz and sk8erwitskil
You get here the possibility to browse your phone with root access in a friendly GUI file browser, while being in recovery
You even now get a terminal emulator to run in recovery
Download Aroma File Manager from its Home Page
Get the last version and rename the file aromafm.zip
Put the aromafm.zip in "clockworkmod/aromafm/aromafm.zip" in any of the storage volumes
In recovery, tap the Aroma File Manager menu or double tap any part of the screen outside menus
It will launch the file manager automatically
Double tap gesture linked to Aroma File Manager can be altered in the GUI Settings menu
Touch GUI Preferences:
This is another unique feature of this recovery and is built from scratch
You can toggle through 4 touch modes:
Full Touch: menus are validated by touching them. I added extra checks to make it robust to validation by error while scrolling.
Double Tap: menus are highlighted on first touch. To validate action, you need to double tap the same menu
Semi Touch: the classic semi-touch interface I enhanced. Menus are selected/highlighted on first touch. You can scroll by swiping up/down, but no validation on touch.
Disable Touch: touch code completely disabled. You have all gui options left, but only hardware keys
When Full Touch mode is selected, it will automatically set recommended menu height, touch accuracy and scroll sensitivity. You can alter them later if you want
Scroll sensitivity controls scrolling on swipe up/down. Lower values are the most sensitive. Adjust this based on selected menu height
Touch accuracy: increase it if your touch gestures are not well accounted for
Config files are saved in /data/philz-touch/philz-touch_x.ini file.
You can do a backup of your settings file, it will go under /sdcard/clockworkmod/philz-touch.ini.bak
You can choose to be prompted to restore your settings whenever they are wiped while you have a backup. You can also set recovery to auto-restore them when needed. This check is done when you reboot to main system from within recovery
There are many gesture actions that you can setup at your wish (some default actions are setup by default)
Long press/move is the bad equivalent to a long press gesture action: just that after 0.6 sec of touch, slightly move your finger or change the pressure surface without actually lifting it
Your screen should auto-dim automatically after one minute and turn off after 3 mn. You can change those time settings. Just touch the screen to reset brightness and turn it on (some devices need to press hardware button)
All GUI parts can be customized: menu hight, text colors, menu colors, selection colors, background color and icon, menu seprators, battery and clock, header text...
To setup a custom background image: put a png image with your device resolution in a folder clockworkmod/custom_res
You can take screen shots from recovery display by the slide left gesture (change it at your wish). Pics captures will go under clockworkmod/screen_shots folder. External storage will be always used first. If no external storage is found, internal storage is used. You can take up to 999 pics before it resets to 1
Setup Free Browse Mode and Multi-zip Installer:
Free Browse Mode:
You can setup a default folder from where the Install Zip menu will start
From within your set default folder, you can now browse backward up to the root file system to install a zip file
Multi-zip Installer menu:
Lets you select multiple zip files to flash at the same time
The zip files must go into a subfolder under: "clockworkmod/multi_flash"
At least one subfolder with your zip files must be created. You can create as many subfolders as you want
exp: clockworkmod/multi_flash/NEAT_ROM_files
Pause on Logs:
Pause on Logs: when enabled, after flashing a zip file or doing a nandroid job, you will be prompted for a key to return to menu display. That way, logs are kept in full screen. Obviously, no pause will be performed on boot scripts and multi-zip operations

Philz Touch 6
Build Version 6.59.0-D850
CWM Base Version 6.0.5.1
Touch GUI Version 1.4.2
.
Developed For D850 Variant Only
Pre-Bumped Stable And Final Version
.
This A .img File , So You Should Either Flash It With Flashify Or With Latest Version Of TWRP . If You Are On Stock Kitkat , You Can Directly Flash It With Flashify . If You Are On Stock Lollipop Without TWRP , Then Use ImagePrep For Installing TWRP First And Then You Can Flash Any Recovery
.
All Credit Goes To The CWM Team For Making This Possible .
I Just Ported It For D850 Variant And Uploaded It Because There Is No Other Thread For D850 Philz Recovery
.
Please Hit "Thanks" If My Recovery Is Working And Stable . I Don't want any donations for my work . It is just my hobby and i do this type of stuff when i become tired from study

Can someone outline the advantages/disadvantages of this CWM vs TWRP.

TWRP has less editing options and its UI is simple without so many features .
CWM Philz Touch Is more advanced recovery and it has more features . You can edit the UI according to your likes .
.
The BottomLine is that TWRP is simple while CWM Philz Is Advanced .

I think twrp touch looks fine, what features other than cosmetic does this have?

According to my view , both of them are custom recoveries and both of them can flash custom roms . We use recovery for flashing custom rom , which can be done with both twrp and phiilz.
I Just Tested Philz And Flashed Fulmics ROM With It . I Also Did The Same With TWRP .
.
Other Than That One Similarity , There Is Huge Difference Between Philz And TWRP . May Google Be With You
