Sorry Glacier. I fell into the newb trap! I always read all posts in a new thread before I ask a question but I've not had a reason to check XDA lately because Energy's ROM is so perfect for me. I thought this was a pretty new thread so I didn't read the whole thing first before posting and there you answered my question on page 3! I feel like a newb boob! LOL

I haven't decided to try X's ROM yet because I wouldn't keep it for lack of Bluetooth et all but I might just to try something with this new recovery. Thanks for helping getting it to the Amaze!!

@glacierguy - I did the same thing. Going to run x's 3.5 for a few days. Just to see if it gives me anything that I mite like. So far I like the 4.1 clock. Not diggin the battery life yet.

I play around with X's ICS preview when I'm bored :p, also this does everything much faster, from backing up,restoring, flashing, could just be me

Madmaxx, This has always been a problem with the Amaze if you let the battery completely drain. I don't think it has anything to do with your recovery which totally rocks by the way!
It shouldn't be behaving as it is when off-charging. Up until Xboarder's most recent CWM Touch release, it had the same issue. However, he'd fixed it in the latest build though. While you will get a flashing LED for a dead battery, you shouldn't be for one which is still somewhat charged.

It depends on which one you try. I have been using his Bulletproof 2.5 and faux kernel .009b for weeks and Bluetooth, WiFi Calling, etc work OK.

When we get closer to a fully working ICS, will use this tool to go back and forth. No desire to preview, as am using a pretty complete AOSP version as my daily on my G2X.

For Xboarder's ROMs, at the moment, I'd suggest Sense 3.5 if you don't mind no Bluetooth/NFC/Wi-Fi Calling and BulletProof otherwise.

Just discovered that when I connect my phone via usb to the computer I'm not getting the option on the phone to connect as storage device. Same prob when I go into recovery and select connect via usb. Nothing happens. So I can't drag files onto my sd card. Anyone else have this problem? How do I correct it?

Madmaxx...I gotta say...This is one GREAT recovery you've created! I tried installing X's 3.5 and always got bootloops, even trying to follow the instructions. I did it again this morning and failed. Then I tried it from your app...not recovery and it just did everything for me and worked! That is totally awesome. When I was done playing around with it, I just did a full restore using recovery and it went right back to NRG's ROM without even flinching! Kudos man!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D

I don't have this issue... Sorry.

Dissconect from phone wait 10 seconds then dissonect from PC wait another ten seconds reconnect everything and there you go

Sorry if this has already been asked. I used 4XT to make a backup and the flashed a ROM which has a different kernel. If I restore my backup does it also restore the kernel that was in the first ROM or do I have to flash the original kernel separately?

Just restore the backup. It wipes and flashes everything for you. Don't be alarmed if it reboots once or twice after splash screen. It always does after a kernel change :D

Yeah I just tried this yesterday with X's 3.5 and just did a restore and it flashed the kernel and everything. Didn't have to wipe, reinstall the ROM and then do the restore. :)How cool is that!

    sooo stoked this finally got an official release, I was feeling bad that you guys had to wait for it... glad I was able to contribute a little to the testing process, also threw a donation in Madmaxx's direction, he totally deserves it... I will probably start donating pretty regularly to him, his work is some of the finest available for android phones... the devices he supports will definitely influence the devices I purchase!:D

    edit: I would also strongly urge anyone that can to do the same (donate)...

    To get your hands on the recovery.img, download 4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.6_RC1.zip using the 4EXT Apps.

    Or the Paid 4EXT Recovery Control App.

    Version v1.0.0.6 RC1 is required for the Android 4.4 KitKat ROMs and GAPPs.

    Here is the changelog for 4EXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.6 RC1.
    - Based on the rock solid v1.0.0.5 RC9

    Hope the above helps!

    Happy Testing,

    Rob.

    Also, if you are new and using this, and you are "S-ON"... MAKE SURE YOU HAVE "SMART-FLASH" ENABLED IN THE SETTINGS!! if not then we will end up with about the 500th thread titled "amaze 4g stuck at boot logo, please help!!!" Or "flashed x.x.x Rom and now phone just stays at HTC screen" because of course you won't search first :D

    If I leave the notification on will it keep the app running in the background? I always opt to leave it turned off but I noticed that I was behind on some builds.

    Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?

    No ;)

    I made sure to not have any background processes.
    The problem is that when YOU force close it, Android will remove all scheduled checks by design.


    For Android it's okay if an app kills itself.. any set schedules will remain registered.
    However when the user kills an app, all set schedules are removed.
    This is by design so you can get rid of any misbehaving apps completely.

    This is why I added a "wanted" force close where the app itself removes itself from memory when you exit it by pressing back on the mainscreen (2 times.. I'm sure you know the message that pops up when you press back once).
    That's basically against the Android design that just puts apps into the background until it gets short of memory where they are removed then.

    When you leave my app it's removed immediately. I did that to make adding it to task killers obsolete.

    Because if you added it to taks killers, it would make Android forget about the schedules you set up.

    You can verify that by using any process managers.
    When you leave the app like usual (not by pressing the home button), it won't show up in any process managers.

    When you enable notifications, the app tells android to start a service for a short time at your chosen interval.
    The service then checks for updates or news and then force closes itself!
    This takes only a few seconds.

    To make Android not forget about the schedules you set, they need to be re set at boot time.

    That's why a component of the app will start at boot time (if you enabled notifications).
    This component sets up your chosen schedules in Android's AlarmManager and then kills itself!

    You will never find any background processes or processes listed in any task/process managers!

    However you will see a force close button when you select the app in manage applications.
    This means that you can even kill the schedules it has set up.
    It's not related to it consuming memory or cpu time as there is no process running.. again: check it by using a process manager app or something like that.
