Hi Amaze users,

Just to bump the thread, as a new version of 4EXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.6 RC1 is now available as of 31/12/2013 and all finally packaged up early morning 01/01/2014 so thanks for this at New Years!

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

The Free 4EXT Recovery Updater v2.4.6b App.
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
- Added support for SELinux needed by some Android 4.4 roms.

Big thanks to the following testers:
Papete, Dtr204, CChako, and Kingmook!

Hope the above helps!

Happy Testing,

Rob.

Depends, if you have the ICS firmware pre flashed then yes, if not then you need to upgrade to ICS firmware 1st, if you have a unbranded amaze then you need s off to upgrade, if you have tmobile or any other brand which gives you ics upgrade then upgrade. and flash any rom using smart-flash on if you're S-On

First, you need the latest version 4ext if flashing KitKat. There was some incompatibility the update resolves.

S-on or off doesn't matter on AOSP ROMs as long as you're already on ICS radio baseband.

If s-on, flashing a T-Mobile based ROM on a device from another carrier is often problematic.

    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)...

    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.
