Operation KRUSH KOUSH

[dmmarck]

He is not working on it! That is the problem! He has been contacted multiple times and refuses to fix it! I told him the problem and he said how exactly is a black screen a brick. I got nothing more from him.

Well, does the phone work? People throw around the term brick a lot, and I'm sure he's aware of that difference (for instance, if it can boot up and be restored, it's a soft brick). Not saying it doesn't legitimately "hard" brick devices, but that if it's just a black screen I can see his point in questioning it.

The only issue I see with the approach discussed recently is that calling him names is not only (1) not very nice, and (2) may cause him to ignore legitimate complaints, which you have.

What I said to him was it makes noobs think they are bricked. I never in any way told him it was a legit brick.

Ok, well that's at least a good point to be made lol.

Well good luck; my only point of entrance here is that I don't appreciate name calling, because honestly, it completely demeans the legitimate argument you all have.

It flashes an incompatible recovery on our phones so when noobs download it they flash the recovery and then flash a rom that's probably not compatible and then their recovery AND normal OS is bricked. That said... I installed it on my OV just now and this is what I get....

Looks like to me that you have to be a complete moron to use this because anyone with a brain knows that those phones are not Optimus V's. I don't understand why the p500 isn't shown because it's supported and very similar to the OV.

Ad hominem is always a great way to lose an argument.

Yup. Any time you shift the focus from your argument to something belittling/negative as a means of trying to strengthen your argument, you do the opposite.

I'd like to see this post/thread do something of merit for our community, and resorting to belittling comments, unfortunately, doesn't do that--regardless of real frustrations/feelings/emotions.

Anthony, it probably has something to do with how your phone is identified in your build.prop.

You all should be on TWRP anyway, if it's available.

It's not.

@sellers and Cole. I see.

@sellers and Cole. I see.

Kinda weird that it shows it on an s Rom. Pretty sure it checks your board type.

I like TWRP2, if only because they released the source code. Koush did NOT release the source for the "official" CWM Touch recovery.

Also, did anyone notice the background image in CWM 6? Looks strangely like the iOS notification center background.... wait, Koush owns an iPhone.

But I have to disagree with the above statement. You should all be on Cannibal Open Touch. We're doing some HUGE things with it right now, just check the bitbucket changelog

As an added bonus, we have OpenRecoveryScript support so Goo Manager works

I'm still on cwmt. I have way to many backups that I switch back and forth regularly. But if I ever feel the need, ill make the switch. And about the background, yes. You are completely right.

Let me amend my statement: we should support our devs and use Cannibal Touch . If that is unavailable, use TWRP. If that is unavailable, then I guess...well...I have no idea .

Open Recoveries are the Best Recoveries.

Misleading. DOES NOT WORK FOR OPTIMUS V. The dev should clarify that instead of letting folks blow money on a useless app!

1.0 stars
No rom listings if you have an LG optimus v. No response from developer. Tried on 2 phones with multiple roms and recoverys. Waste of money for me.

+1, amendment accepted

And yes I agree. Koush not releasing sources is way uncool. Not illegal since it's not technically GPL, just uncool.

I will add more to that post so that this thread is not full of clutter.

Edit: If anyone else finds any, please PM the links, I will give credit to whom it is owed. ROM Manager bricks only, if caused by factory reset, I don't want it.

If it's an optimus s brick, I don't want it. Optimus S don't have a recovery for RM.
