Root 4EXT Touch Recovery?

Yep, adding my homescreen wallpaper to the ics theme just makes the device feel like a complete package.
 
Yep. Mine takes up nearly 900k. I added 100k with my own wallpaper though. I didn't realise either. Had exactly same problem as you.
 
i dont understand why he cant have the themes binding to sdcard
you can modify the theme.prop in sdcard and that works so i dont know why he cant make it reference folders on the sdcard as then when you wipe the theme remains

i know this can be done as RMD had this feature
 
Possible 4EXT problem?

So flashed dGB at weekend, set it up, nandroid - then cooked UOT battery mod and flashed it. Boot ok but then couldn't get any apps to run, just faced with a black screen. Tried a reboot still same. Rebooted into recovery, restored dGB nandroid but on reboot sd card wouldn't mount (notification was something like checking for errors). Mount via recovery was ok.

Tried a reboot, same problem with sd card and phone completely unresponsive, so pulled battery, reboot to recovery and restored oxygen nandroid. Don't know what happened but it didn't restore properly - almost like artifacts from dGB were still present. Battery pull, boot recovery, full wipe this time, restored oxygen nandroid - this time all ok.

So I'm thinking dGB nandroid got corrupted somehow, maybe issues with android.secure causing sd card problem? Also is a full wipe needed in 4EXT before a restore - thought doing a restore this wasn't needed (never needed to do it using CWM)?
 
dunno, ive personally done quite a few restores from it and not had a problem. ive not really seen these issues on 4ext reported either.
We have however seen issues like this with roms and potential sdcard fails
also check your data partition size as one person had this behaviour with their device and they found that the data partition was filling up even with nothing in it. even after an RUU which suggested there maybe corrupt partition tables
 
Got 100/5/333 partitions - qsi has data showing 143 free which sounds about right

Hmm, might also be related to Ti - native move games to sd card before Ti backup, checked option for default restore location, but got internal storage warning on batch restore after flashing dGB. Ti stopped so had to manually move some games to sd then Ti restore for missing apps. Hence why thought might be android.secure problem with dGB nandroid?

Sd-card seems fine - can mount/read/write ok, no messages from Windows to reformat.

Still think dGB backup's got an issue. Do i play safe and fastboot flash partition tabs? Might re-flash 4EXT as well, then fresh oxygen install, nandroid then try dGB again. (Was going to post on xda thread but haven't got 10 posts yet so I'm not allowed :( - get better feedback on here anyway :)

Try using the reload theme in the tools because it would load for me when i only reboot recovery

The issue is on dGB, there is not enough room on system, so the themes don't work, although they appear to flash successfully. It's not until.you review the log that it becomes clear

Another vote for 4Ext. I find it easy to use. Love the touch screen version. Most useful functions include:

1. checking SD card
2. checking alignment
3. formating/ partitioning into any format you want

Well worth the small cost in my opinion.

Just my 2 cents.

Can you elaborate on this a bit? I want to change ext3 to ext4 -- but I can't seem to find this option in 4EXT.
 
I cant seem to get this working :confused:

I have downloaded the free 4EXTRecoveryUpdater.apk and installed it. Ran the app and clicked on 'Online install/upgrade' and selected v1.0.0.3 RC3 and it downloaded and installed.

However when i boot into recovery its still going into CWM 2.5.0.7.. Iv been back into the 4EXT app and it says that v1.0.0.3 RC3 is installed.

Is there something im missing and doing wrong?

Thanks!
