Root [RECOVERY][EVO4GLTE] TWRP 2.6.1 with on-screen keyboard!

so you guys probably know about this, but i did not for some reason, until a few days ago. but there is a new version.

here is the changelog:

CHANGELOG for 2.3.1.0:
-Unmount system after boot to prevent some status 7 symlink failed errors on zip install
-USB Mass Storage code improvements
-Better handling of mounting storage during boot for some devices
-Fixed a problem with sizes of images (boot & recovery) after resetting defaults
-Fixed size errors during backup for some devices on recovery, etc.
-Fixed a problem with restoring backups when multiple archives were present

CHANGELOG for 2.3.0.0:
-Rebased onto AOSP Jelly Bean source code
-Rewrote backup, restore, wipe, and mount code in C++ classes for easier maintenance going forward
NOTE: backups from prior versions of TWRP are still compatible with 2.3
-ADB sideload functionality from AOSP is included in 2.3, see this link for more info
-Re-wrote fix permissions entirely in C++ and runs in a few seconds instead of a few minutes (thanks to bigbiff)
-Improvements to zip finding in OpenRecoveryScript (should be a lot fewer GooManager automation issues)
-Faster boot times
-Added charging indicator while in recovery (only updates once every 60 seconds)

While this update may not bring a host of new must-have features, this update is a significant re-write of much of the core TWRP code. AOSP Jelly Bean recovery source moved to mostly C++ code and now all of the "TWRP" code is fully rewritten into C++ as well. Now that we've laid this groundwork, we're in a much better position to pull in future AOSP recovery updates as well as implementing more great new features.

Since TWRP 2.3 is based on AOSP jelly bean sources, TWRP now uses recovery API 3 instead of 2. Some zips may no longer work if the developer is using an out-of-date update-binary. This API change should not be a problem on newer devices, but older devices will probably encounter several zips that need to be updated. If needed, you can try using this update-binary that was compiled with current sources. It goes in your zip file in the META-INF/com/google/android folder.

I've installed it, but haven't tried restoring my multi-part nandroids from my sd card yet, those were failing before.

I did notice that the same image isn't being broken into parts.

Fixing permissions takes seconds now.

Appreciate the changelog, I was wanting to look that up! :)
 
I am still in awe of how well Goomanager works to install the updates to TWRP.

I am pretty sure I installed the first one using the bootloader, but I used Goo the next few times. Amazing!

I'm gonna fix my permissions now, just for fun! :D
 
Quick newbie type question here, but does it require S-Off to fix permissions? I'm S-On, and when I've tried to fix permissions from Recovery, it only takes a second or so and doesn't scroll any info on the screen. Is nothing going on?

as long as you have superuser and flashed the su file, you should have root privileges so fixing permissions should not be an issue. to be honest i never had to use it with twrp yet, but it should work for you.

curious though, why do you ask?
 
I have installed the latest and greatest doesn't look any different. Checked the change log nothing really affected me anyhoo. I don't believe this is a necessary update however.

well read the changelog:

[HIGH]CHANGELOG for 2.3.3.0:

-Add decrypt button to mount page if you cancel decryption during startup
-Added ignore blkid flag
-Fixed handling of MTD partitions during mount
-Fixed some keyboard mapping issues on 800x1280 layout[/HIGH]

not much here really. but if anything here is important to you then go for it. i'm on twrp 2.3.2 and probably go to 2.3.3 tomorrow, just to stay current.
 
CHANGELOG for 2.4.0.0:
-Using libtar instead of busybox's tar for better control over tar file creation and breaking the 2GB barrier that busybox imposes (thanks to bigbiff)
-Support for exFAT formatted sdcards (also thanks to bigbiff)
-Support for decrypting Samsung TouchWiz encrypted devices including internal and external storage (special thanks to a3955269 for figuring it out)

-Added wipe cache and dalvik after ADB Sideload
-Replaced many system calls with their native C counterparts
-Fixed bugs in file manager where it would display an empty list after moving or deleting a folder
