Frequently asked questions
Q: Why backups are incompatible with other TWRPs and vice versa?
A: Some components have been improved or simply is not supported in other versions.
- EFS backup is not supported in the official version. Other unofficial versions don't backup one important partition, which is also part of the EFS.
- Firmware backup is not supported in the official version. Other unofficial versions uses an unreliable method of modem partition backup.
- System Image is not supported in the official and other unofficial versions.
Q: What is the difference between System and System Image backup?
A: Different backup methods.
- System – files method. Create usual archive by packing all files from a system partition. Not available since version 3.2.1-K2.
- System Image – dd method. Create exact partition dump by reading every single block from a system partition.
Same backup/restore speed, but different backup size. In the first case, the backup size corresponds to size of the contained files in system partition. In the second case, the backup size always is fixed and corresponds to size of the partition.
Q: Charging LED broken in this recovery too?
A: No, it works. Since 3.2.0-K1 release included
LED Manager. Logic:
- If the battery status is "Charging", then:
— If the battery capacity is "Low" (1-14), then turn on the red LED.
— If the battery capacity is "Mid" (15-89), then turn on the yellow LED.
— If the battery capacity is "High" (90-100), then turn on the green LED.
- If the battery status is "Discharging", then:
— If the battery capacity is "Low", then blink the red LED.
— If none of the cases is true, then turn off LED.
- If the battery status is "Full", then turn on the green LED.
- If none of the cases is true, then turn off LED.
