Could you elaborate please how charging is different from..say Desire. Thing is, i believe touch screen issue has something to do with the way it charges.

You'd have to talk to someone that deals more with kernels than myself to be 100% sure, but my understanding is that the Sensation and EVO 3D don't contain a hardware charging circuit like most phones before them. Instead, charging is controlled by software. I suppose this allows HTC to change / update the charging settings with a simple software update, but I imagine the main reason HTC did this was to save a few cents per phone.

Thanks for this guys... So, when can we expect the charging fix? MORE POWER...

I'm pretty sure that charging is a kernel issue. We might be able to get it fixed before CM7 nightlies start coming out, but definitely once there's a decent CM7 kernel that we can use.

How is there no pictures or video of it yet

Look in the OP under features. About halfway down there's a link called "Default color theme (lots to choose from)"

Cannot recognize Sensation or Sensation 4G automatically,but CWM can:(

You'll have to forgive me since I personally am not a Sensation owner, but is that an important feature in a recovery? If so, can you explain why?

The benefit of the recovery being able to decipher which hardware it is dealing with is for example the CoreDroid Rom. When it flashes it will detect a sensation 4G (aka TMOUS) and will then flash files only for tmous user such as correct ril for stock radio and also WiFi calling. Just a nice feature but not really a necessity since there are walk arounds for things like that.

PMd Amon_RA few weeks ago, unfortunately he has no time time to make recovery for Sensation. Twrp looks as close as it gets though. Will flash it as soon as charging when off is fixed.

I just confirmed via adb the the device is infact discharging while plugged in. This happens while off or in recovery.

Code:
adb shell cat /sys/devices/platform/htc_battery/power_supply/battery/status

Awesome work by TeamWin nonetheless, and can't wait to see more colors & these minor bugs worked out.

Mine shows discharging as well, but love this recovery just gonna have to make sure to always have my spare battery charged. Never had a chance to use Amon_RA recovery but if this is close to that then Amon must have been really cool cause this recovery is hands-down, much better than clockwork. Thanks for the support TeamWin. Look forward to future release.

Love it, feels like amon with elements of cwm but with a twist to make feel original.

I like being able to navigate via the capacitive buttons. Incorporate this please.

I was hoping for the same thing I was just to lazy to type it:eek:

Capacitive button support please!:D I also notice that after navigating for a while in TW's recovery the 2 capacitive buttons that DO work stop working and I have to resort back to the power button...:cool:

    Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

    Phone look:


    Tablet look:


    CHANGELOG for 2.6.3.0:
    -Proper backup and restore of SELinux contexts (thanks to Tassadar)
    -Pull in some ROM information for backup name generation
    -Merge all recent patches from AOSP bringing TWRP up to date with Android 4.3
    -Add 1200x1920 theme (thanks to Tassadar)
    -A few other fixes and tweaks

    CHANGELOG for 2.6.1.0:
    -Initial SELinux support (only a few devices, need testers so come by IRC if your device doesn't have it and needs it)
    -Initial support for f2fs file system formatting (Moto X)
    -Update SuperSU install for 4.3 ROMs
    -Fixed a permissions bug on files created during backup
    -Fixed a bug that caused TWRP to not wait for compressed backups to finish causing 0 byte files and md5sums to not match
    -Fixed decryption of encrypted data so that both TouchWiz and AOSP decryption are possible
    -Ignore lost+found folder during backup and size calculations
    -Various other minor bug fixes and tweaks

    CHANGELOG for 2.6.0.0:
    Special Note: If you are running a custom theme, you will likely need to remove that theme before updating to 2.6.0.0 as your custom theme will likely not have some of the new changes visible (e.g. you won't be able to encrypt a backup)!
    -Can encrypt a backup to prevent theft of private data from your backup files
    -Updated graphics / icon courtesy of shift
    -Updated exFAT to latest commits
    -Fixed a problem with Samsung TouchWiz decryption
    -Update SuperSU binary
    -Fixed saving of backup partitions list
    -Fixed saving of last used zip install folder
    -Fixed backup of datadata on devices that use a separate partition for datadata
    -Fixed some issues with the advanced wipe list (android_secure, can now wipe internal storage on data/media deivces and wipe data on the advanced list no longer formats the entire data partition)
    -Fixed some problems with partitioning a SD card
    -Various other bug fixes and tweaks

    Notes about encrypted backups:
    Why encrypt your backups? -- Most people store their backups on the device. Any app that has permission to access storage could potentially read your backup files and try to harvest your data. Encrypted backups also provide an added layer of security if you move your backups to other storage devices or to the cloud. The encryption that we're using is probably not strong enough for enterprise level security, but should be strong enough to make it significantly difficult to get to your data.

    Encryption is using OpenAES which uses AES 128-bit cbc encryption. If you happen to use a longer password (over 16 characters) then the encryption strength improves to 192 or 256 bits. Do not forget your password. If you forget your password you will be unable to restore your backup. We don't encrypt the entire backup. Encryption is very CPU intensive and can be fairly slow even when we spread the workload over multiple cores even on the latest high-end devices. To ensure that encrypted backups don't take forever, we don't encrypt any other partitions besides /data and in /data we don't encrypt /data/app (or other app related directories where apks are stored) and we don't encrypt dalvik cache.

    DOWNLOAD:
    The fastest and easiest way to install TWRP is to use the GooManager app:
    Play Store Link
    Direct Download
    1) Install GooManager from the Play Store
    2) Open GooManager and provide root permissions
    3) Hit Menu (or the button with the 3 dots on your screen) and then Install OpenRecovery
    OR:
    You can find more information and download links on our website!

    BUGS:
    If you have found a bug, please consider posting it to our github issues log. It's pretty much impossible for us to keep up with the more than 40 threads that we have for the devices that we "directly" support. If you have a significant problem that cannot be answered in this thread, your best bet is to PM me directly, contact us via our website, or find us in our IRC channel below. If you see someone that's struggling, feel free to point it out to us. We need your help to help us keep track of all of our devices! Thanks!

    FAQ:

    How to install the zip:

    1. Download and copy PG58IMG.zip to root of sdcard
    2. Rename the zip to exactly PG58IMG.zip using a file explorer like Astro
    3. Reboot into BOOTLOADER
    4. Let it detect the zip
    5. Select Vol UP when it says Do you want to start update?
    6. Wait for it to flash
    7. Press Power to reboot
    8. Let the phone reboot into the regular Android OS
    9. Use a file manager like Astro to rename, move, or delete the PG58IMG.zip file so that hboot doesn't try to flash it again
    10. Reboot into recovery and enjoy

    Error when flashing some zip files:
    twrp only supports the latest and greatest edify script for zip flashing. Please bug the zip developer to update the zip script to edify.

    Does twrp support off-mode charging?
    Yes, but it won't charge while you're in recovery!

    Which partitions do I need to back up for a proper backup?
    Usually you just need boot, data, and system for a normal backup. If you don't know what you are doing, then these are usually the only ones that you need to back up and restore.
