Guest t0mm13b Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) Okie RacerBoy - thanks for that.... The one big noticeable difference in your cwm for the racer is the fact there's a lot of menu options missing....so.... Would like to put in the original complete menu that is there as normal in cwm. BRB :) Edit: The icon touch sensitivity will get in the way but do not worry about that for now.... Let's try to get the select to hit on the exact menu option... it seems the recovery menu is tad bit screwed up - or the absence of certain options is the big noticeable difference....

This version has the full stock menu options that is found in the "normal recovery"... .try that...recovery_fullmenu.zip Edited September 25, 2011 by t0mm13b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Racerboy Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 recovery_log_debug.txt t0mm13b it works........so the fact the menu code didnt include the extra menu options for the racer version was the problem lol Icon with Plus on it - (for Select to go down a sub-level) - Work? yes with no jumpingIcon with Up arrow - (to move up the menu bar) Work? yesIcon with Down arrow - (to move down the menu bar) Work? yesIcon with Left Arrow - (to go back up a level) Work? yesIcon with Fingerprint and a minus sign through it (increase sensitivity) - Work? seems to workIcon with Fingerprint and a plus sign through it (decrease sensitivity) - Work? seems to workIcon with Fingerprint - (resets to default sensitivity) Work? seems to work1 slight graphical problem is the menu list is longer now on the main screen the virtual finger print are on top of the last 2 options (advanced and power off) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look in post #97 to see the same thing for the Galaxy 5.... Will play with the Galaxy 5 here as it has the identical screen resolution as the racer.... Might push the icons down or re-arrange it.... wait and see Edit: Thanks a million for the help in testing this out... now that we've reached the finishing line - the principle works thus :) P.S: The battery indicator, it changes colours when unplugged so can you confirm that for me as well?... each "line colour" used represents 10%, so when it drops, the colour disappears and goes down, when charged at full 100%, its green with the yellow frame around it. P.P.S: This cold-start into recovery is an issue that somewhat needs to be tackled... Edited September 25, 2011 by t0mm13b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a chance and gamble I took when it dawned on me that the menu options was missing and at first, thought it was a limitation of the racer that it "could not wipe cache or update" and realized that it could explain the jumping around.... don't know... deadlink needs to answer to his mistake over it as his device tree as shown here all in all it has been productive and that you're a good team player... :) Now, I can get the sensitivity icons out of the way somewhat - my job will be much easier as I have the galaxy 5 in front of me :D :lol: Meanwhile, Racerboy, take a break, relax, its sunday... have a beer for me and Phoenix_Silver ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Racerboy Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 nice work it is spot-on now, screen is great :) sensitivity is spot on too as default setting, only thing now is to sort out the cold boot issue :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest t0mm13b Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 The cold boot issue .... this is what I suspect... Now, btw, the reason I am saying this, is it happens on the blade also... From the kernel by 4pda which is used in the CM7 nightly rom for your racer, this part of the config CONFIG_ZTE_FTM_FLAG_SUPPORT=y is what I suspect is causing the grief about cold boot... I have learnt from the Blade forum, that FTM is something to do with Firmware Transfer Mode, for flashing firmware using ZTE authorised application or similar. Not flashing ROMs or recoveries. Its the internals of the firmware. FTM Mode on the blade is known to jam the physical keys, usb and touchscreen, Strangely enough, its in that 4pda's cm7 kernel it is enabled, but no source to it.. so do not know which is it.... The way I think is this happening is this: From cold boot, the FTM flag is cleared, when attempting to go into recovery, the kernel checks on the ZTE FTM flag, and if not set, it freezes... presumably the kernel thinks its in FTM mode and attempting to wait on a firmware download, this is the scenario that we're tackling with. If you cold boot and let it go into the ROM, the ZTE FTM flag is set, hence rebooting into recovery works as the kernel sees that the flag is set and continues happily. That's what I think it is... not 100% sure.... Have tried deadlink's kernel source as well, that causes boot issues. If others have feedback to contribute - please do post them so that this can be nailed down. For others, is this a known issue you have. I do know that with the stock cwm as supplied by sebastian does seem to have no problem so ... This is open-ended and am open to suggestions on how to resolve this matter. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Racerboy Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 the cwm modded by sebastian has no issues regarding cold boot for me nor anybody else, would this mean it would require a new kernal as the source for the existing kernal your using is not available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will root around on github and see if I can hit the sweet spot on this kernel :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Racerboy Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 yep, i`m using the beta :) great for general use, unless obviously my phone wont boot to desktop thus wont be-able to use cold boot, but then i`ll just fastboot original cwm for that :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest t0mm13b Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Okie, I am going to play blind here on this.

Guest Racerboy Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 recovery_racer_deadlink_config: ok, cold boot bypasses recovery with green droid pic (tried 3or4 times same result) and 1st time i rebooted into recovery from the desktop basically it shut the phone down (didnt restart phone) 2nd time i rebooted into recovery it bypassed the recovery and carried on loading phone to desktop......:unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest t0mm13b Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Okie.... something is blocking in there somewhere that is conflicting.... Please bear with me as this is going to be very tedious in finding the right kernel config ... and of course, experiment with the different config options to get it right... :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
