Running this now... as stated graphics do not redraw every other click but it does function normally otherwise. Just made a backup which completed normally.

edit... navigation is also a little touchy vol down will sometimes register as enter.

did a full wipe booted fine now to restore.

Sorry for not reporting that here. Ever since I screwed up my phone I've been killing time by flashing every recovery firmware I got my hands on. I'll probably keep testing before the stock image comes out.

Define screwing up the phone... just curious if can get it back running.
I have a stock ROM that is uploaded but will have to rename to pull from web.

I will test this CWM to see how it works, i did test shabby penguins version and got a bug where it would only let me select every other selection and didnt recognize the selection.

---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

just tested Alpha 4 and same results. Only lets me select every other selection and when i do make a selection the menu goes away and im left with the CWM logo and label on the bottom. Have to hold power to reboot.

Well it's stuck in a boot loop. I flashed recovery firmware for the i9505 instead of my model phone and one of them screwed up big time. My own fault for being careless.

Alpha 4 works, except you need to count key presses. Every other press changes highlighted selection but every press registers for choice (if that makes sense.) When pressing enter to make selection, press volume down to "wake up" the screen.

Backup successful. Restore successful.

I can make a video if that would be easier to explain what I'm seeing, if needed.

:edit: Location for backup is normal - /data/media/clockworkmod/backups - Must have been something I did. Disregard previous statement.

You had the same experience as I did. Worked fine just hard to navigate.

In other news I just activated my phone and it did a factory reset and installed on the sprint crap. It did not wipe sd so my backup is still there. attempting to restore now.

update: restore successful :)

    Maybe its the fact that its a 64gb card?

    My sandisk 64 is working fine. I can backup and restore from it. Have tested again with 1.0 to confirm.
