Features of my custom touch edition recovery

base recovery sources are from koush/CyanogenMod/FreeXperia Team... i have added more features to it and my team mate, Napstar, has worked on adding the Touch capabilities...

[ features ]

revamped layout for recovery menu (to improve navigation) [renamed few options and changed their order]
changed "wipe data/factory reset" option to just "factory reset", and detailed the partitions which will be wiped
added reboot options
- reboot into system
- reboot into recovery
- reboot into fastboot mode
some modification in "Partition SDCard" section:
- put up a confirmation to warn the user that this option will wipe sdcard
- added ability to select filesystem when creating new layout
add confirmation to "backup" option in Nandroid menu... it used to keep getting pressed by mistake and start making backups immediately... now it will ask u before starting backup
removed tons of "NO"s from some menus...

[ how to enter recovery ]

when the device is booting the new bootlogo will be shown, keep watching the notification LED
when the LED turns BLUE keep pressing the BACK button
you will now enter my custom recovery

[ how to navigate in recovery ]

the recovery is touch edition so controls are on screen
if someone prefers to use hardware buttons the the mapping is as follows:
- BACK button -- to go BACK in menu
- HOME button -- to SELECT menu item
- VOLUP button -- to navigate UP in menu
- VOLDN button -- to navigate DOWN in menu

My WiFi doesn't work...

It says Error in Settings...

I also tried to fix it by flashing the DooMLord Modules but that didn't helped... Any way to solve this?

I think that the only ONE reason that users still stay on stock kernel - it better battery life :C

cuz in all other things your kernel is GREAT!

I don't see any more reasons.

Are you saying that Doom's kernel has better battery life than the stock SE kernel?

Doh! Course, on the contrary!

ishishkin · Jan 1, 2012

Nope, this feature available in DoomKernel or you can try to use the smartass module.

This is my exact reason for staying on the stock kernel, but I maybe give this a try.

tomatos · Jan 2, 2012

Sorry Doom: i have a stupid question. This Kernel is from stock kernel and in this Kernel just the CWM and little bit other feature added?

Thank you for the answer

Is the difference between an Arc Kernel and a Neo Kernel so big? No way to port?
Stuffs are getting old at Neo section
