TWRP Recovery ?

Has anyone checked this recovery console project out? it's a GUI / TouchScreen based Android Recovery. IMO for a tablet it makes more sense.
Release Site : http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp
Endgadget Interview : http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/27/teamwin-demos-twrp-2-0-recovery-manager-for-android-scoffs-at-y/

I'v come across this before, it would be a great recovery to have on the XOOM, I can't believe nobody has made an effort to port it.

We now have 4ext touch recivery for our sensations its so good!

After helping raidzero try and port his recovery to my xoom I can see the issues with twrp
Ill be happy with Twrp 2 once its ported but I know it will be awhile

<< Is a noob

GPL Compliant Recovery - Beta1 available

Post removed no more work planned I don't need the aggravation.

Just downloaded. Will install in a minute.

I guess I will be the noob first. What is the gpl? And what is the difference in the2? And how do I install this, do I just flash it? Or do I unroot then install?

research.
It is flashed like a rom no special preparations should be necessary like I said this is a test release don't go bricking your device

Many thanks! Hope to see some of the features in thor's recovery ported to a GPL compliant recovery (mainly OC and ability to see internal & external

I thought I understood this stuff but maybe I don't. CWM is just recovery, and doesn't run on a kernel, no? I have CWM installed and can flash any kernel, yes?

Every recovery has a kernel in it. It needs that to work properly. The kernel inside of it though can be different then the one you use with Android.

Seems to work perfectly. Thanks!

Hm, this recovery looks good. I've got an Acer 501, so I'm going to test it as soon as I copy it over. Hopefully it doesn't brick!

Haha as long as you wont be using your 3g radio in recovery you'll do fine blazingwolf reports that the nandroid features are broken so be aware of that

now that's the CWM I'm used to seeing lol... flashed fine and flashed v3.7 OC kernel right after with no issues, great work man hope you can continue now with ICS

Wow, dude, this was... really, really fast. Thank you very much for doing this for us.
Will download and install when I get home. I'm personally not fussed about overclock in recovery, etc - just barebones is all I need and it sounds like this is already there.

Lack of nandroid is a bit too barebones for me, but once that's working I'm in.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Far too many individuals violate the GPL and it's awesome to see someone work with it rather than against it.

I'm with this guy, though I must say that I appreciate the effort from randomblame. Following the rules and doing things properly leads to things that WORK properly. Thor's roms and recovery have issues, however useful they may be.

Great!
I have other android devices and was turned off by some people in the a500 community not following the law (by not complying with software licenses). I thought XDA had a policy about that, but maybe it is not applied to everyone.
As a software developer my self (mainly non-android) I was shocked by the actions of those parties breaking the law.
It is great to see people stepping up to fix the problem. Thanks for your work.
EDIT: I see people are removing thor's links from forum posts. Thats good. I remember seeing several over the past 6 months, maybe I saw them before they were removed. It is good to see people taking piracy seriously.

I'm not a noob by any means, but maybe I don't understand something....what is the difference between "nandroid" and simply backing up? I backed up my a500 with this recovery. Is there something else I want to do?

Good question. I backed it up, but had no need to restore it yet. I'll have to try.

[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.

What is working or not working in this? I use Jt's CM9 on another website, I tried it out for AOKP for Evo 4G and it was nice, but lacking in certain departments that I honestly require for a daily driver. Is there a changelog or?

The only issue still looming is the headphone jack issue,same work around applies. The current build has recovery issues, the Devs are fixing it for the next build. Been running it for a day and a half coming off of JT's build and is just as stable IMHO. I love TeaM Kangs ROM mods. The changelog is on the linked page.

Recovery issues? Well does FFC work? Rear Camera work other than just panorama? I guess i should just flash the ROM and find out, but i'm at work and have no web at home, so well... this is a paradox!

did you just use heimdal to flash?

u can flash it using cwm recovery but after u reboot ur recovery gets borked and u cant get into it all until u flash the recovery through heimdal again...actually i couldnt reboot at all on this rom but other than those issues i love it its awesome just as good as jts except it has slightly more custumization options ill prolly be switching back and forth each time one of them puts up a new build cuz they are both awesome

What is the work around for headphone jack? Thanks

No issues rebooting normally here, and you can hard boot out of recovery(recovery will start but then freeze). Loading cwm through oden or heimdal does work.

For those familiar with JT's build over on rootz the issues are the same(plus the recovery issue), headphone jack, front cam doesn't render properly but the back cam works with Angel Camera from market flawlessly. As stated earlier the builds run very similar but AOKP has built in customization options exclusive to their builds.

Quick question since I did not see it at the link above, does it also work with the sprint tab as JTs does? I also saw JTs getting some fixes for camera i believe.

I've downloaded a couple of these, modified the updater script to actually install with CWM, tried every "recommended" kernel I can find, wiped this, wiped that, didn't wipe this, didn't wipe that (edit:forgot to add "read what seemed like a million posts about every one of these downloads") and it always ends up the same...it boots, I see the Verizon 3G connection, I can connect to wifi but I absolutely cannot get past the setup wizard because tapping the droid causes "Unfortunately, the setup wizard has stopped" and there's no getting around it. So there it sits until I heimdall 2.3.5 back onto it so it does something useful. If anyone has something concrete I can do to get past this, please let me know.
Edit: Got it! For future reference (myself included!) Install CWM, then install the AOKP system, reboot, wait for it to come up and when it brings up the setup wizard, do:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
mv SetupWizard.apk OldSetupWizard.apk
exit
Bingo, setup wizard is gone.

I'm a pretty good flasher ..for the life of me, the vzw version won't get me past the Samsung bootup logo. I've wiped..etc.. I'm flashing using cwm 5.0.2.7

Messaged Scott from CleanROM Says he is looking for a new challenge. He does great work my favorite rom for GS3 hands down, whos in?
Im tired of no recovery or ROMs for this beast of a tablet. Who wants to help me jump start this?

Maybe first start with cwm, so we have the basics out of the way?

In another thread you can see me and three other guys doing our best to get that working. One guy got close, got a building environment up and running. At that point, TWRP arrived with an almost ready recovery. I think the last bugs are being sorted at the moment. In addition, I am still waiting for confirmation that it works with the p605-model.
So, to get this development train rolling, make a comment in the TWRP-thread so we can get that recovery completed. When that is done, I guess there is no holding back when it comes to testing ROMs, kernels etc.
