4.2.2 is here for boost k2_cl

Got that nasty storm with "tornado" written all over it now hitting us... Gonna suck if I lose power and have to sync CM11 over again LOL.
 
@moddingmymind, you had mentioned something over the weekend about TWRP not backing up the recovery partition? Is that what you are working on?

I've already fixed that lol. The TWRP I am personally using will back up boot, system, data, cache, recovery, misc, firmware_radio, firmware_q6, internal sdcard, and external sdcard. I believe that covers it. Want to add more but held off since I need to build this with the source to get official support. Would rather get it up and going and let TeamWin take over for it then myself keep it updated lol. That and because I plan to modify the crap out of this recovery for my own use.

*link removed by me*

When charging while in offmode it will show the battery icon with percentage. Once or twice you may see the screen flicker over to twrp then back to the battery in just a flash of a second. Nothing I can do about it right now, but it works and it won't freeze on you.

With regards to backing up internal and external SD: Wouldn't that also backup every previous TWRP backup in the backup thus increasing the size of subsequent backups?
 
Here is an example with the internal and external sdcard. (well, for one, that link I just provided doesn't offer those options - just boot, data, cache, and system).

Set backup storage to eternal. Backup internal. Move backup to internal, now backup external. This will obviously create or generate new backup names. Boot up phone, pull files to one backup location. Done.
 
Holy SMOKES!!! My laptop just impressed me!! Especially my network!!

I just synced CM11 in only like a couple of hours...

I seriously thought it would take a day or so hahahaha. This is good though. Now to get to work.

If you need someone to test, I can
 

Can I keep the expanded twrp that is bugged? I like the features but if it is harmful I want to change over.

It is safe. It will freeze on you if you try to charge your device in offmode. I haven't fixed that one yet.

Well, actually I did. In fact, I even had updated the Ui to be in par with 2.7 and all it's features, but stupid me accidently lost it so I have to do it again lol.....

Yay haha.

Ah that sucks! I hate when that happens... Lol. Keep up the good work bro!
 
Making progress with TWRP. Got it to build without errors. Test run though to insure I got it all set up properly.

First build for the 4.2.2 kernel built and booted with OC to 1.7ghz, as of right now the fm radio isnt working and system is still write protected, but i will have to fix that.
Click to expand...

Can anyone confirm that the max stays pegged at 1728mhz? I can change it in Rom toolbox, exit, and come back to 1728mhz. I was trying to set it at 1350mhz.

Edit: I have also tried voltage control. It seems that upon restarting the app, the sliders are at 1728mhz. However, the cpu continues to stay within the guidelines you set previously.

I wouldn't know. Haven't tested it yet. Will probably test it once write protection being removed has been added in.

Anyways, update on my end...

Been working with the TWRP source from OmniRom 4.4 in conjunction with CM11.

Had to do some fixing up but after most of this day I finally did it.

The test run has passed the test. So, now I can get started with updating TWRP which is gonna happen right now lol.
 
The kernel is set to boot between min and max speeds. i will try to find a way to get it to boot at like 1.4ghz but still be scalable to 1.7Ghz. Of cource 1.7Ghz isn't the max but i lowered core voltage on the OC up to 1.7Ghz and set it at an incremental value from stock instead of pumping it way up. This should help to keep temps within reason when running OC.
 
I started my first minor stripping of Sense :)
I installed Launcher2 because the new Sense one is awful IMO. You can't remove the Sense lock screen or you won't be able to answer a call without unlocking the phone first.

I don't know what their obsession is with weather information but even after I removed all of the weather apps I still see "NO WEATHER DATA AVAILABLE" on my lock screen. :laugh:
 
Twrp is working. I also included HTC Dumlock. Still need to make some changes so during compiling some work will be handled for me automatically instead if doing it manually after it is built - less hassle.

For those who are S-Off, HTC Dumlock means nothing to us. Those who are S-On, it can be pretty useful.

HTC Dumlock is a workaround for devices with HTC's unlock that cannot flash boot from recovery.* Put simply, we make backups of recovery and boot, then we flash the backup of recovery to boot.* When you reboot normally, you'll be in your recovery, but since your recovery is flashed to boot, you can make changes to boot.* We've added some extra features to TWRP 2 to allow you to easily restore the backup of boot once you've booted your recovery with this method.* We also have a universal version that works with any recovery by using updater zips
Click to expand...

In other words, HTC Dumlock allows users who are S-On to flash boot from their device without having to use fastboot on their computer. It's a bypass, hack, glitch, call it what you want lol.

I haven't uploaded it yet though. There is still some more stuff I want to do to it before I release the build.
 
Hey guys, I have also implemented the ability to take screenshots while in your recovery thanks to gerrit. The image below is an example ;). This feature will be very useful to those having issues and a picture speaks a thousand words when seeking for assistance. Also will be useful for themers and developers if applied appropriately. I'm very close to releasing this and by therefore removing my other links afterwards. :-D

Looking for some testers for TWRP? Obviously you must be a K2_CL (Boost) owner or this doesn't apply to you. Just give me a couple of more days to tidy up some stuff and I will pm you the link if interested. Please let me know if you are S-On also because I included HTC Dumlock and it is mainly for you so I would like feedback on it. I will give instructions on how it's used if interested. Please note, HTC Dumlock is not needed if you are S-Off. It allows those who are S-On to be able to flash a boot image to their boot partition without the need of fastboot. So an example here would be flashing a Rom - S-Off would simply flash and be done while S-On would flash then extract the boot.img to flash via fastboot with their device plugged to their computer (HTC Dumlock provides you the ability to not have to do that extra step). So if you are S-On and interested please let me know. I'm currently S-Off lol.

Edit: Testing isn't really needed because I have been deep in to this project covering every basis, but feedback is always encouraged :-)
