Maybe this https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/ and this http://rootzwiki.com/topic/23903-how-to-compile-twrp-from-source/
could be solve your problem :)

Last release was 2.6.3.0 and work well on nexus 5 with kitkat :)

unfortunately TWRP doesnt work as well, it needs to be at least CWM 6.0.4.3, as explained above :|

i tried to port it, but i only brick my device :p

TWRP wont work

I am probably blind but how do you overclock the gpu?

here is a commit which shows how i lowered it, just increase the values to overclock :)

I tried to compile cwm from web, but setting by device fault compiling; maybe uploading requested files could work: this is link : http://builder.clockworkmod.com/

have to give that a try later ;)






Nice one, thanks for that! btw i was really building up suspense towards the end reading your live ticker :)

Now it's building for about 20mins without breaks...

still, it needs fixes at the camera as well, also graphics.c, you have to add to the gr_text method as last parameter the following parameter: int bold

also audio needs some fixes :)

Between here and there
I tried to compile cwm from web, but setting by device fault compiling; maybe uploading requested files could work: this is link : http://builder.clockworkmod.com/

It's failing because it doesn't have access rights to repo's that it's trying to access. Don't think uploading the files will make a difference.

(I think the idea of a web build is reallu cool though)

Don't use the kitkat repo to base the recovery out of. It's just going to give trouble. Rather use 10.3 as base.

The recovery uses graphics.c (At least I'm pretty sure it a graphics.c) and if you broke it with your merge it will break somewhere else.

CM used to build with recovery (Always good to start somewhere where it's working :D ) . Does it still do that? What version is official nighties on (Probably a older version)?

Also why won't TWRP work? It supports set_metadata_recursive doesn't it? We are officially supported by TWRP so perhaps they can lend a hand if their recovery isn't working as it should.

(Still can't think of a valid reason why someone would do self assignment - #752)

As for me I'm still trying to figure out what exactly I need from the cm repos to build the just the recovery since the all of the android sources is most definitely not used in the building of the recovery. (Yeah downloading that much is still a problem for me)

Thanks for your help via PM!

the hint with replacing the /sbin/recovery made me experiment with the original recovery and the compiled one.

i just replaced /sbin/recovery from the original one with the compiled one, didnt work, gave segmentation faults.

then i replaced the original zImage with the compiled one -> bricked the device.

that made me think, the zImage must be the problem!

--> unpacked my compiled CWM 6.0.4.4, replaced its zImage with the original and repacked.

result:

may i introduce you to CWM 6.0.4.4?

thank you so much for your guidance, @xonar_, you are my hero, seriously :)

// Edit
CWM 6.0.4.4 download link attached to the second post at the ROM Extras

Well done
Evisceration.

I (and I'm sure everybody else) appreciate your hard work
but it would be great if you take a look at my previous post (maybe you already did, but since you didn't reply I'm going to think that it is only happening to me)

Lets imagine the following scenario.

If a worker can carry 5 crates at the same time and his boss tells him to carry 10 at the same time, he will struggle and carry them much slower from A to B than if he has to only carry 1 at the same time.

same is with our phone, if you give it too much work at once, it will do the work, but slower. :)

Flashed recovery but still booting old one?
i guess youre not using 1.0.6.2 nightly?
i think on 1.0.6.1 you cant do it with performance control.
you would have to do it manually, via terminal, adb, etc.

i just implemented downloading and flashing with velox control now, updating it on google play

// Edit
Aaaaah, uploaded wrong recovery image, sorry! :D
its quiet confusing if you have 1000 files named recovery.img across your disk haha.

Wow my post was a bit unclear.
Im sorry, i ment after being idle/standby it acts weird.
I can try to post some screenshots when it happens again, i am not really sure why and idk how to reproduce it exactly.
Running with the default kernel, default settings and changed settings makes no difference. If i reboot the phone everything works fine again. :x

Still dont really get you..


---------------------
btw people, it is recommend to update to the nightly if you havent, its stable :)
also the OC kernel is compatible with it, in case you want and CAN use it.

Also here is a link to Velox control as it is now.
with it you are able to download and flash CWM 6.0.4.4 with a single click :)

Lol im sorry, its just that it happens if i dont use my phone for a while.
If i reboot it and keep using it (to i.e. read news apps and mail) it wont happen, but when i lay my phone away and i receive a text through whatsapp after lets say an hour, my keyboard gets weird.
it looks like artifacts, sometimes the keyboard also completely turn black.
I have tried adjusting gfx settings but that makes no difference.
Im running with the non-oc/default kernel.

I hope u get my point now ;)

maybe your phone just gets old? :p

had my p970 lying around for about 5 days without use and i didnt get such artifacts.
(in case you wonder, i had 80% battery left after 5 days, have a 3000mAh battery :p)

would need more reports about that to find out if its a bug or just a single case

-------
until i get 4.4 fully working, i will publish 4.3.1 updates.

the next one will also include this launcher, got permission from the developer, also it looks good and is less ram consuming, overall snappier and smoother.

Hi,

An extremely stupid question:

How to use the [useless] G key as power button?
I remember I used to edit a system file on LG ICS ROM.

    Kitkat Build

    ATTENTION!

    Kitkat builds have moved!

    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2556875


    DO NOT FLASH WITHOUT A NANDROID BACKUP!

    the upgrade to 4.4 upgrades databases as well and if you want to go back, you have to wipe your data.
    so please take a backup before you flash this.

    The last official Velox Build for kitkat is here.
    cm-p970-Velox-1.0.6.2-experimental-20131115.zip - 169.49 MB

    Also this is VERY EXPERIMENTAL, proceed on your own risk!
    Better use Version 1.0.6.2 instead!

    ROM Extras

    Here you will find ROM Extras.

    i think its cleaner than attaching them to the main thread.

    -------------------------------------

    ClockWorkMod

    Here are copies of new CWM :)
    You can install them with the built-in recovery flasher in the Performance Menu at the Tools tab.

    Note about Swipe Recoveries:
    it works flawlessy, only the "swipe" feature is a bit buggy.
    up and down works, left and right only sometimes.
    just use the powerbutton instead, like always :)


    -------------------------------------

    Overclock Kernel
    Overclock Kernel is attached.
    I plan to update it, asap i do changes to the non overclock kernel.

    Versions are ordered like this 20131017 means

    Official OmniRom support, here we come! (maybe :p)

    glad you like it :D

    youre here since the beginning, thats what i really respect :)

    i wanted to take a break today, but because i want you all to deliver KitKat really fast, im researching right now.
    keeping you updated :)

    // Edit
    Doing a clean build, takes some time again.

    // Edit 2
    Ok, HW audio encoding / decoding still doesnt work.
    EGL seems to be stable, but needs more and extensive testing though.

    ill wait for some source pushes by cyanogenmod, also reading through the gerrits on this world and picking good looking stuff :p

    // Edit 3
    its somehow funny, everytime i look at the left on my thanks meter, it goes up, but i dont see any posts of mine, which have more thanks than before.
    the mysterium of xda haha

    // Edit 4 @xonar_ anything yet?
    playing around with FUSE and the ramdisk to get the sdcard somehow working.
    21
    And we have a camera ;)

    // Edit
    Audio works as well (at least when i change the volume via volume keys i can hear it)

    // Edit 2
    SDcard working :)

    // Edit 3
    Apollo plays music from my sdcard
