[i317-i317M][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch

---

Main thread + features + install instructions + dev support
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2201860


PhilZ Touch is a CWM Advanced Edition that adds all the features you could ever miss in CWM
It is a well proven recovery for many phones

It also adds a full touch interface a completely configurable GUI

Since many requests to port it to i317/M, here it is finally released

Please give your feedback, what works, and any bug you could encounter
Read the features, and check if you are missing something

I would appreciate a screen shot from your device, mainly under GUI options or custom backup menu where you select partitions
To take a screen shot, just slide left

Also, do not forget to read about the powerful aroma file manager integration and double tap shortcut

Recovery (.zip) packages instructions
They come in the form of .zip files that can be flashed in cwm recovery

• Download philz_touch_xxx.zip file
• Put the previously downloaded philz_touch_xxx.zip file on your sd card
• Boot into recovery (volume up+home+power)
• Select "Install zip" and browser to your downloaded zip file.
• Now select the philz_touch_xxx.zip fileyou copied in previous step
• You will have PhilZ Touch Recovery flashed

Odin packages instructions
They come in the form of .tar.md5 file

• boot into download mode
• start odin3 and configure it as in picture below
• connect phone in download mode to PC via USB
• press start to flash the tar.md5 package
• normally, phone should auto-reboot into recovery.
  If it reboots into android and your recovery remains stock, repeat above steps and untick "autoreboot" in odin. Once flash is done, keep pressing power button until it reboots (normally will go to recovery)
• when in recovery, if you choose option "reboot system now" and you get "yes - disable flash recovery", select that option to avoid stock recovery overwriting cwm
  
  

<< Root your phone and reset Yellow Triangle >>

• Once in recovery, flash the attached Root_SuperSU.x.xx.Only-signed.zip file to root your phone
• If you want root + busybox: flash Root_SuperSU.x.xx-Busybox.1.20.2-signed.zip file
• to remove yellow triangle, use TriangleAway

Before asking for support:

• Make sure your issue is recovery related
• All external sdcard issues: first format in PC with primary partition, tons of people are formatting as logical and come cry
• Reproduce your issue and while in recovery:
• Go to Advanced / Report Error
• Copy the /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log and attach it here
• Give detailed info about your issues
• Without these, there is little chance I can help you, so, do not get mad if I do not answer

Request a build for a new device:

• Go to sammobile.com
• Search for your phone
• Download the +1Gb last firmware file (ideally unbranded and in any case a European version)
• Unzip downloaded file
• Rename the tar.md5 file into .tar
• Extract from the tar file the boot.img and recovery.img files
• Post them here with exact file name of the file you downloaded from sammobile (exp: N7100XXDLL7_N7100OXADLL4_XEF.zip)
• Post a link to your phone specifications, ideally, a comparison between your phone and the n7100
• If they do not share same hardware, ensure there is a cm10.x source for your phone (Optional if you do not know how to check it)
• You got a 100% chance for an answer and 90% chance that I release it

Since i317 has its own forum, I am splitting its recoveries from my previous n7100/n7105 thread

Please also take a look and read some of the last pages here, as most of your questions would be answered
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2028103


Keep thread clean for only things related to this specific recovery
Do not clutter with general support questions, kernel/ROM general issues...

interesting might try this out tonight once i get home.

Installed and works great. I really like the layout style. Just made a back up to ext sd and like how fast it was. Advance options are nice also. Thanks!

I would like to get some clafificaiton about what Support for TWRP means - does this mean if I flash the Touch Enhanced Recovery - I can restore nandroids that I made on TWRP?

SOrry if that is a NOOB question - but I just wanted to be sure - to avoid doing something stupid -

Actually it is a fair game, you can:
- backup in TWRP format to migrate from cwm to TWRP
- Restore from TWRP backups to migrate to cwm

Backup in TWRP format is always done in the multi volume format. Restore supports both. At the end, migration should be smooth.
If you find bugs, always post a log before requesting support please

Restore of TWRP backups was tested by i9300 users and reported fine too. I personally tested for i9100 too

Only part I am still unsure and need feedback is android-secure restore...
