ARCHIVED: Clockwork Mod Recovery V. 0.5

[Joeseph Mother]

I need to figure out if its used or not. Or if I need a recovery.fstab or what......

Actually, the one i did was on 2.6.29, which used init.rc & recovery.rc, I don't think 2.6.32 does.

Question....

Ok I have no coding skills , heck I can barley bend over to tie my shoes without choking, I appreciate all this work but I have a question I was hoping would get awnsered. Why is Clockwork considered a stepping stone to Cyanogen? When I had my Hero CDMA and flashed Cyano I would immediatley reflash back to Amon-RA Recovery which seems to be what ThundeRom's recovery is based on and I had no problems with running Cyano with Amon-RA so why is this a prerequisite? Excuse my ignorance and thanks for the reply.

Ok, tonight I hope to be able to hide sdcard partition and sdext formatting, but please do not use either one of them.

 

[mrinehart93]

IMO, it's better that those are hidden anyway. It's best that people actually use the least amount of "easy" or "one-click" tools as possible, because when using those types of tools, the user doesn't learn about Android/Linux in the process. Lacking that knowledge, people never learn about alternative ways to do things, such as being able to format the SD card with Gparted or any other partition editor (aside from Windows Disk Management).

So... I'm fine with you hiding those.

Type this

ls /system/bin/

does it have install-recovery.sh listed or any file with recovery.sh in the name?

Then i would say skip that command. I think it was removed when lg/sprint put out the update to v9. If it pushes you back into the stock recovery look for that file again but i think your in the clear.

Is there any difference between this recovery and the one used in the ThunderRom tutorial? I apologize. I don't know what the name of that recovery is.

If there is a difference, can I just flash this over my current recovery?

They are basically the same. I think this has a few extra options. The major difference is this is green/black and the other is blue/black.lol I personally have used both and they both do the job. Im currently running this one cause i know smccloud worked hard to get this for us(everyone with optimus) Ill probably keep using this one just cause i seem to like it.

Yeah, you guys do a really, good job here with the Optimus. It'd be nice to have it pick up like the other phones though(EVO), but alas beggars can't be choosers. I do really like it too, with the OC especially.

I'd like to get into development of some of this stuff like you guys are to help. Themes and different ROMs especially.

Keep up the good work you guys!

I'd be doing more work tonight if I didn't have to take my fileserver down to upgrade it to F14.

I know this is off topic but is it an Amahi home server. And also just wanna say thanks for yours (and everyone elses for that matter) hard work you guys rock.
And I ask if it is because they are the only ones that used fedora 12 as a base and are now upgrading to 14.
-phase in your regularly scheduled programming-

Actually, yes it is. I installed the F14 version after requesting the new "nfs web app" be allowed to be installed on F14.

What do you mean got some details? Are you holding home+volume down+power then release at the LG splash screen?
