Hi,
I am using the latest version of TWRP, but I see two weird things:
1.- It's slow to install ROMS, takes much more time than in the N4, really slow.. like three times more time!
2.- The date is messed up (1970 :S).
What is your experience?
The dates messed up but I don't think it's slow.

Did you have a N4?

I don't have a n4 but I find twrp to run much faster on my n5 than on my s2 skyrocket.
Backup took a mighty long time...
Format of system partition or cache sometimes takes a while too, like15-20 min.

When I first installed twrp I tried to install a custom ROM but it was unsuccessful I had to restart Twrp for it to install successfully but no more problems after that?

Do u have the latest version 2.6.3.4? This issue has been fixed afaik. Wipes are very fast on my end.
Flashing some custom roms can take a while though.

Thanks for info!
My TWRP version is not the latest one, it's 2.6.3.2 (got it automatically downloaded with toolkit I think). Will upgrade then I get back home and see what happens.
U need the newest one

realy slow ??
Flashing Cataclysm rom takes about a good 3-5 minutes. It just shows an animated loading bar, but doesn't seem to make any progress, then all of a sudden finishes. Scary, but still installs fine.
Just doesn't install as quickly as say a Note 2 flashing a rom.
It depends on the ROM you are flashing. Flashing is very fast with OmniROM for instance.

formatting of /system is still extremely slow, even with 2.6.3.4. once /system has been formatted, everything else is very quick.

I disagree... A full wipe (system+data+cache+dalvik) requires about 5s to be completed. ^^

Full wipe from TWRP is quick, it's the wipe of /system when you install a ROM that is extremely slow.

What you're saying is that it's the ROM fault, is that it? Or this behaviour doesn't happen with CWM (flashing the same ROM obviously)?

May I ask where to get the latest version of TWRP and what is the best way to flash it, please? Thanks.

Download TWRP manager from the play store, there's an option to install TWRP recovery under advanced I believe. If not under advance its under one of the options

Aren't you being an intruder?
OK yesterday I rooted my nexus 5 using chain fire. I then installed the ROM manger app to install CWM. Does this mean I can now flash ROMs or zip files (eg. Beats audio) straight away or am I missing steps.
Sorry and thank you in advanced

You need to head to CWM recovery and then flash the rom.zip files...
Make sure you do a complete wipe before installing a new rom...

Dude, uninstall Rom Manager asap and never use it again, this has always been a terrible app and now its real terrible. Flash a custom recovery with Flashify (Play) or in fastboot (fastboot flash recovery namerecovery.img). Rom Manger is not a solution but a problem.
Sorry I don't understand!!! I have been using CWM for a very long time. I am just asking now that I am able to flash ROMs?

Rom Manager is unstable and buggy mate, if you have a working recovery then you`re lucky. Make sure to backup your current rom before you start flashing and backup your EFS folder and store it on the PC to be sure.

I have done a nandroid backup through CWM which functiond fine. Thanks anyways. One question, after root my nexus 5 is a tad slower. Is it possible to turn ART on while rooted because I heard people are getting bootloops when they do this.
Thanks

ART is still experimental atm and some apps are not optimized for it yet. That can cause bootloops in some cases. If that should happen restore the backup.

Dude, @gee2012 is just trying to help, and is right about RM. I used it back in the day on my Nexus One running CM before there were any alternatives. Over time, RM got wonkier and wonkier, ending up an app that is best avoided. I recommend that you take the advice of a recognized contributer, and don't continue to be loyal to a has-been app that could bork your system.
PS. Welcome to the forum!

Hi I only used ROM manger to install CWM. I don't plan to use it for anything else. I plan to boot into CWM and flash a .zip from there. Is this not safe?

Sure it is. I was talking about Rom Manager, please don`t ever use it again. Just for your sake mate.
Everything said about Rom Manager is 100% correct; it's long been known to brick some phones, due to the recovery files it lists not being compatible with a lot of devices (and poorly defined).
Great advice, @PhilipTD and @gee2012.
Haha OK. I just like CWM so I used it to install it. How do I boot into CWM without using the app? So I can delete ROM manger after

Further to @gee2012's response, rather than switch to ART, and thereby forego the use of Xposed, check out the optimized Dalvik library.

Download it from here https://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager and flash in fastboot or with Flashify (Google Play.)

I don't need closed framework. So uninstalling and then switching ART should work? I'm scared it will go into a bootloop!

If it works for you, it works. Don`t have to flash it twice. Look above @PhilipTD`s post for Philz Touch CWM, which is even better and has more options than CWM. Its a zip and you can flash it in CWM.
And its noob, not noon

Now that s-off has been released, here's a working TWRP for the Verizon M8.
FYI: Because I'm lazy I did not build this from source. I simply ported the GSM twrp and replaced the variant specific bits with our stuff. I have also not extensively tested this, so beware!
Pre-Requisites:
- s-off (I'm sure you can use the search button and figure out how to do this)
- fastboot and adb binaries (I'm sure you can use the search button and figure out how to do this)
- download this: deleted
Boot into fastboot mode:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Install the img downloaded from above:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.3-m8vzw-UNOFFICIAL.img
You may then either boot back into your rom using: fastboot reboot
or
Use the menu in the bootloader to reboot or (via the HBOOT menu) reboot into recovery
Sweet. Thanks

It restarted for me when I tried to backup to SD too. Then when I enabled compression it allowed me to make a backup to my SD card no problem.
So, I have copied my backups from my device to computer using adb pull /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ .
but I have deleted the backups on my device. so i wanted to restore my backups to my device. but I came with no success when using adb push /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/. the process can be done, but I don't find my backups in my CWM.
so, I tried another directory to /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup/. but the adb push process can not be done.
please, help me out. I want to get my data back

Is it official CWM? If so, you need to push them whilst in recovery to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup. If you do it in Android, CWM will not see them.
This is because since android 4.2, /sdcard is actually mounted on /data/media/0 however CWM never updated code so in CWM /sdcard is mounted to /data/media instead.
So boot into recovery and push to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup or /data/media/clockworkmod/backup
Then do yourself a favour and stop using Official CWM

I recently pushed to /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/ and still no success. I pushed the folder but the only ones copied is the files (like system4.ext4.tar.a) in the /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup/
but for now my problem is solved by manually copy it to my storage and using Root Explorer to copy it to /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup/

Its a piece of sh*t. Its no longer managed by the original dev. Just a messy community of people...
The features are poor, the code is ancient and the support is null.

Guess now's not the time to tell you I still use it. I've been on Playfulgods unofficial swipeable builds since I've had this device. I've had zero issues with it and I flash quite a bit. TWRP is historically buggier than CWM imo. I like Philz and will move onto that when CWM starts to present problems. Old habits die hard or so they say.:laugh:

hey thanks, now I am using philz as my recovery.
but there is a minor problem for me. the name of the backups. precisely the time of the backups. the names of the backups should be yyyy-mm-dd.hh.mm.ss. I have recently backed up my N5, but instead of named 2014-09-09.20.40.00, it was named 1970-09-01.20.00.17_blablabla.
so, how can I changed the time or the name of the backups to the normal time? It's not a big problem, but it annoyed me. thanks before
