ok guys so ever since i've flashed the official cwm touch build i haven't been able to successfully make a nandroid. I've let it go until now, but i'm anxious to try a theme and the problems my phone is having with inverted gapps makes me nervous so i want a working backup first. Any ideas anyone?

this isn't aokp specific but i'm hoping you guys might know. When i add a second page to my dock in nova, i'd like to create a second app drawer shortcut. Tried desktop visualizer, and can't find the app drawer as an option. I could swear i've done this before, but no idea how. Anyone?

Edit: Now i feel like an idiot, but will leave this here in case anyone else comes across it. Long press on the home screen -> nova actions -> app drawer.

l0l :D
 
I have been delving into Boot Manager Pro and would like to relay the following. :listen:

It works but is ROM dependent and lucky for AOKP users its compatible, on my device anyway. It does not play nice with All ROMs.

I installed and tried the lite version and it was discouraging not playing nice with ICS Gapps or installing Kernels either.

I read the "Whats New" in the Pro version and seen it updated it to work with ICS Gapps. I made the purchase.

Removed the Lite version and installed the Pro version diving right in.

(I read it is best to disable "logging" in super user and I did. The new BM versions may not need to but I am not concerned about SU's logger so not chancing it. Mine is disabled.)

I did the following back to back in Boot Manager starting with AOKP B31,

  1. Ran the Phone Setup.
  2. Installed the AOKP B33.zip to slot 1.
  3. Installed its Gapps.zip to slot 1.
  4. Installed the Lean Kernel 3.2.1 Exp1.zip to slot 1.
  5. Booted Slot 1.
  6. Success!
  7. Booted back to the Phone Rom AOKP B31.
  8. Success! In as little time as a reboot.

Now I can load & test run new builds on slots and check them out before committing, boot in and out of them setting them up as time allows.
Always being able to run home to the safe build I have as the Phone Rom.:thrasher:

I tried Liquid Smooth and with its built in Gapps I was hopeful. But it would not see my Sdcard. Or not all of it anyway. Because of this it could not see the phone Rom and could not boot back to safety. I had to Shut down and boot into Rom manager and restore the Nandroid. I tried it twice so........

I put BAMF into a slot with success. To bad its not my cup-o-tea.

Read carefully when to run the phone setup. Only do this when you are in the Phone ROM, not a Slot. Its easy to do if your trying to be fast.

The When you install a ROM to a slot check off all the wipe boxes. Its not the same as the wipe we all know, its just for the slot. For Gapps and Kernels its not needed, uncheck them if they remain checked.

G'day

What exactly does it do, or not do? Error msgs? Did you install it through rom manager? Adb push?

It hangs while backing up a file (stops doing anything). I get no error message no anything, but it will stay there until I battery pull. And installed through ROM manager

So odd. I flashed it the day it was available and it's all I've used with not one single issue since day 1. Maybe try flashing another (like 5.5.0.2) then reflashing it all through RM like you did for 5.8.0.2? Have you tried that?

You're suggesting to flash stock and then reflash touch?

I'm suggesting to flash an older recovery like 5.5.0.2. Then try and make a nandroid. See if it works. Then flash 5.8.0.2 and see if you can make a nandroid with it. All through RM

Ok so I reflashed the old touch beta that I used to run and that worked :)

Don't have time for a clean flash today, but I'm going to nandroid and dirty flash it and see how that goes...I'll report back soon. :D

Decided to try a clean flash afterall. But it doesn't prompt me to restore my settings :( So now I have to re-do all my normal google settings and re-add wifi networks, etc. Ugh. I think I'll restore my nandroid and dirty wipe. :/
 
Anyone using the Team Win Recovery (TWRP) through Goo Manager? I have only ever used CWM. I like that I could use the Goo Manager App to install my ROM's right from the app, and it seems to work better than what it does for ROM Manager, which I have always had to flash through CWM.

Thanks!!!
