im going to try this right now, i assume previous backups will not work but i do not care!

I doubt they will work but im making a new back up now. and will stick with AR from now on.

Pretty stoked for this. Loved Amon Ra since my Hero days.

Nope, I do not.

I would guess either Kush or the man himself brought it over for us.

If you really need a screenshot...

I'm trying now.

Edit:
Hey it worked! The recovery is awesome. Just like the good 'ol days.

i had used Amon_RA since my G1 days, wow this brings back memories. Then I used his Nexus One Playstation recovery to jailbreak my PS3. goodtimes

this recovery works great and is super fast. i love whoever ported this!

Since everyone can't contain their excitement, I guess I will try it
What makes this better than CWR?

[Q]Testers wanted

Ok so I know you guys here in the G2 forums already have some pretty nice recoveries but I thought I would offer mine as well
I don't have a G2 device so there's really no way for me to test out anything so I need some testers before I post working versions of the recoveries on rom manager. If your interested in testing post here or pm me and we'll go from there. I will be checking back on this thread and pm's.
Recovery features:
- These recoveries are based on Clockworkmod recovery meaning it will work with rom manager if you like to use rom manager to download various things and receive OTA notifications.
- If these recoveries are good I will be posting roms on rom manager for vision.
- These recoveries support EXT4 partitioning, meaning if you format or wipe any partitions they will be EXT4 and not EXT3 like the normal Clockworkmod recoveries.
- The UI of these recoveries are heavily modified and themed. Currently I have three versions, Green, Blue, and Red. I will be taking request on more themes.
Once this is confirmed working or not I will build and allow testing of more themed versions

oh yeah accually I wasn't compiling my own kernels back then like I am now I was just using pershoot's kernel lol. So far everything seems to be working but it's only been tested by one person so far. I'll send you a pm.

Alright I'm building the last blue version now then I should be ready to release these. Thanks to both testers I'll make sure and give you guys credit for taking your time to test these.

Thought I posted this yesterday but cant find it - so reposting
I flashed green hat recovery on Sat night and exhausted everything in the recovery menu except for sdcard partitioning -- could not find a bug anywhere. Everything worked at par for the course.
I especially liked how when the phone is off - and charging -- green hat recovery turns on -- so when Im done charging I can start off in recovery... (this was a "bug" with the older Clockwork Recoveries (beginning of v4-5) but I never saw it as a bug -- but as a feature. I hope you dont fix this!)
used all tools in reboot, confirmed this works directly from ROM Manager, did nandroid backup and restore to older build made last year, did advanced restore, bla bla - everything. No issues.
Well, let me know if you need more testing.

Awsome thanks IDK why the versions on my device still use charging while off like the newer recoveries do. Oh well I think I noticed koush mention a bug about this for G2 and how HTC charging while off is already a method that is not not compatible with the newer recoveries. Like you said the phone will still charge in recovery and reboot options are there but just kinda sucks if the led light doesn't show to tell you how charged it is.

Doesnt matter -- dont fixit please! Im trying to figure out how to make this happen on my Kindle Fire as well --- everyone calls it a bug... but its not a bug!

WOW I cant wait for this to be out! Great job! I have been following your work for a while now and am all excited! I like the idea of being able to wipe cache/data/sd ext.

Aw ok, well I guess I'll go ahead and release with the info that htc charging does not work anymore but this will still work great with rom manager. Thanks for the feedback I'll work on uploading later on today on rom manager.

Calling out to Devs

Was wondering if any of the devs here could possibly spend some time to develop for the a200 as it is similar to the a500?
Our boot loader is unlocked
We are rooted
And we have cwm.
Just need some custom rom love such as cm9,aokp and so on.
I am not a dev but have comp programming knowledge if you need any files from the a200 I would be happy to share.

What do you mean we have CWM??
Is there something I missed?
But I do agree, we need our own section along with some custom ROMs!!
Sent from my A200 using XDA Premium HD app
I found it!!!
Flash CWM? Follow this link!

Well, creating your own simple roms isn't all that difficult. It's just hard to do when you don't have an a200 to test with. But the theory behind it is all the same.
If you guys want to try it yourself, let me know, and I'll share what I know about it. Seeing's you're already rooted and CWM installed, should be safe

I wouldn't mind having a deodexed rom. I would do it myself but not sure if I have the time with how much I work. Unless it's not that hard to do. I just can't wait until I can theme this device. Already have all the .png's ready...
Sent from my A200 using XDA Premium HD app

Sure a a200 section is missing...
Now we had ClockWorkMod on our tablets we can fash what we want.
3G patch for example will be great for me...
But i'm not familiar with cooking kernel, or dev anything ...

You know of any A200 ICS Roms (full rom or update)?
I can take a shot at it. Just send me a link.
Give me something to do until the 501 update

Guess nobody is really interested.

I was waiting for someone else to respond with being able to provide it. Where would the update.zip be? I might still have it on my tab somewhere...

I have mmcblk0p 1-4, which one's do you need and how would I get you the boot.img?

Not sure about how to pull the boot image.
But the files from a "rooted" system dump would be great. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that earlier.
The issue, is that the root app they published, flashes the boot.image in 2 parts. And they're modified. This results in a modified boot.image in your tab when you run the root. Would be easier to have a complete modified image.
Well, never de-compiled and recompiled an image before, so will figure it out Maybe!
The rest, can probably be run from the install script as far as permissions and such.

Hello,
I would be willing to help... and I might know something about the guy who got it all going

Ah, well good. That's what I get for not checkin the threads for a few days.
Hopin to see some customs soon. Would be nice!

Ok, just to update you, I sent out a test version this morning. Mainly to make sure I got the install-script right with permissions and stuff. No other changes other than removing the usual bad stuff.
If, and I say "if" it goes well, then I can proceed on stripping the heck outta it.
If not, I have an alternate plan.

Ok, need 1 or 2 of you people to try this install. All the bad stuff is taken out. At the worst, it will bootloop at start.
If it boots, check Su for write and re-write on the /system. Copy a file, see if it sticks. Then delete it.
Root explorer added to /data/app so check permissions.
Make sure you do your recovery backup first,
Then wipes and such like a normal rom.

Try rerooting and installing a different, stable ROM. Currently, I'm using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629962 as a daily driver with the frosted cherry kernel. Again, please post this in Q&A, not in development. Hope everything goes well.

Both are touch screen, I just prefer the added options in 4EXT. But clockwork mod is good also. Idk if 4EXT is available for your vibrant though.

Is the free version better than cwm? (For those who thinks 4ext better than cwm)
I want to give it a try, but I don't want to buy it once it's compatible only to a few numbers of devices.

The free version is only the installer. The paid version of 4EXT installer has a few more features in the app, but let's you choose from the same recoveries.
1. Get one of the apps.
2. Install the latest 4EXT Recovery Touch.
3. Profit
I have a feeling after you use the recovery you won't mind buying the paid app. I didn't. It's worth it to donate for something as fantastic as 4EXT.

Thanks again, estallings15! You're always very helpful to glacier community
I installed it and thought it really nice. I think I won't use app features, but I'll buy it to contribute to the future of 4ext indeed
Another question, Is there any known incompatibility with any glacier rom?

Not in my experience. It fact, quite the contrary. Many have reported problems with ROMs flashed through CWM Recovery. Upon switching to 4EXT and flashing the same ROMs the problems cease. Seems like a pretty good deal to me.
Also, you're quite welcome.

[q]aokp q & a

I figured I'd start a thread for this ROM.
My first question or bug report not sure which...
When turning on 2G networks only, it changes preferred networks to GSM only.
Makes sense.
Only problem is when coming out of 2g only mode, it changes the preferred network to wcdma not LTE.
There a way to change that or that just how its designed?
Thanks.

This thread will be obsolete once i get the official Q & A thread started. It will be kinda like the one i have for the sgs3 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781242. I'm already working on it.

In the mean time, may I ask if sdxc 64gb cards are supported in exfat? My stock rom had no problems with it but aokp won't mount it saying, "blank or unrecognized card."
Do I need to format to fat32?
TWRP still recognizes and reads files of of the card with no issues.

Twrp still reads it because it's a 4.2.2 aosp problem (I'm pretty sure at least). I am curious if formatting the card would help but I doubt it b/c it didn't help on 4.2.2 on the s3. It's a minor inconvenience but personally I'm just glad to get TW off this thing. Thanks Task! I didn't think the first build would be really buggy or anything but I did expect some minor issues on the first build. Couldn't have been more wrong though, is so fast and stable it's not even funny.

If he needs a step by step video of how to install the ROM then I would suggest him to not flash anything to his device until he reads up on these things more. Otherwise I see him bricking his phone in the near future.

How is that even possible? The instructions are simple and slapped right in your face. 1, make sure you have OUDHS, 2, full wipe then flash. Couldn't possibly get any easier and if people can't figure that out then they should not be modding hardware :angel:

Easy as Pie to flash task roms it already has the kernel in it. it's full proof!

Does it takes some time for the Task650 ROM to fully leverage and use the battery to its maximun potential?, with the Stock TW ROM I was getting around 0.5[%/hr] battery usage/drainage with the phone fully idle, measured by BetterBatteryStats, right now I am getting around 3.5[%/hr] battery usage/drainage with Task650 AOKP ROM, comments are welcome, thanks
NOTE: I've been measuring Deep Sleep with CPU Spy and with BOTH ROMs Deep Sleep will be around 93% to 97%
