Flashing can brick your phone

This will be removed after people report it is booting fine without bricking their phone

But... my phone is across the room and isn't even Android. Maybe I should rip the battery out just to be safe though

This sounds pretty cool though.

I warn people when I release an untested recovery on a given device
Most noobs tend to forget that flashing is not a safe operation. It can always turn into a nightmare
You can check the list of currently supported devices from main thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2201860
And browse into the different device support forums

Till now, the warning never became true except when some people flashed the wrong file in their phone

This warning should keep noobs away from testing it

espionage724 · May 5, 2013

Ah, yeah I have nothing against the warning, glad it's there even

The Nexus 10 is a tablet though, not phone

LoL
It is a generic copy paste message

Well, will you be the first to give a feedback ?

Sure

I went to bootloader, erased recovery and flashed this one. Rebooted to recovery.

Battery meter at top-right says -1% (my tablet was on Pogo charge for hours prior to flashing). Get an error about being unable to create brightness sys file. During key test, randomly getting constant presses when holding 3 fingers on screen (probably a touchscreen-related issue).

Thank you for the feedback (reached my daily limit for :good

Brightness:
Do you by case know the path for your device brightness file?
Not a big deal though as I can search / look for it in rc files. I used Samsung usual path, but it seems they used a different one for google devices

Battery:
Will check for the battery path used

Touch
It is supposed to be one finger to use

Interesting though...

Phil3759 · May 6, 2013

Can any one run this in adb shell while in recovery
Or you can use the console terminal in aroma file manager while in recovery

Code:

 find /sys/. -name '*bright*' >/sdcard/brightness.txt

Then

Code:

 find /sys/. -name '*battery*' >/sdcard/battery.txt

And attach the resulting brightness.txt and battery.txt files on sdcard

About multi touch: i will look to allow only slot 0 to ignore second finger

Forget it. I found path in source

Phil3759 · May 6, 2013

Ok, still would need battery info it seems

Code:

find /sys/class/power_supply/ -name '*'  >/sdcard/battery.txt

And as described above, attach resulting battery.txt file here

Please do this in recovery, not main system

see attached - is this what you're looking for?

Phil3759 · May 6, 2013

Ok,

Can you do this now:

Code:

 ls-l /class/power_supply/android-battery >/sdcard/battery.txt

And attach the file
Many thanks

Sorry I'm a bit out of sync with you -- but I've attached the one you asked for just before revising your post.

find /sys/class/power_supply/ -name '*' >/sdcard/battery.txt

Result is attached. I'll run the other command in a moment.

OK -- re-learning linux command line as I go (it's been many years!). Good to wake up that part of the brain again...

Had to modify command above: needed a space between ls and -l, and I'm assuming you want "/sys" up front in the fully qualified file name... Assuming that's all good, the new result is attached as battery2.txt

Let me know if this is what you need, or if anything else is needed. I've got some time to squeeze in a few of these today as needed. Also REALLY looking forward to trying this out on my N10 (and would love to see this on the Galaxy Nexus if ever possible!).

Sorry for the time I make you loose
Was at work, on a hurry, typing using tapatalak mess

I am at home and I could test before posting this. The symlinking is a small issue to first traverse folders wthout going into tons of links

Anyway, here's what should find the needed files

Code:

ls -l /sys/class/power_supply/android-battery/* >/sdcard/battery.txt

Thank you for your patience :good::good:

Great -- let me know if you need anything else -- I'm home today, and can pull some more if needed.

Does this recovery support USB OTG?

homer timpson · May 8, 2013

I must be in stupid mode today !!

Have been running Galaxy S3 with PhilZ Touch for some time now .... superb :good:

Got a new Nexus 10 last week and want it on there as well ..... stupid bit coming now

Downloaded latest version from this thread - but it shows as "philz_touch_5.00.7-manta.img"

Not a zip or a tar file for Odin ..... what am I missing from under my nose?
