Well that's a known "problem"...

Only TWRP supports auto flashing of OTA in ViperX.

And I think the parameters are set in the ROMs framework.jar \smali\android\os\RecoverySystem.smali

Default value should be

Code:

const-string v3, "INTERNALSDCARD:"

In ViperX

Code:

const-string v3, "INTERNALSDCARD:/"

So maybe this will do the trick

Code:

const-string v3, "INTERNALSDCARD:/sdcard"

Maybe Phil can make it compatible since this is way over my head...

I really have no clue here too. Not having HTC phones, no idea what is ViperX...
I am short of time to dig into it, but if someone has a small idea or direction, I can look at it

It could also be a matter of the included kernel or a ramdisk change

i haven't used ViperX before...
but just from my general knowledge, ill say your recovery SHOULD (maybe not) work by default.

im guessing they're passing a script file and flashing the ota, like any update.zip

Also, Phil,
~~i can't seem to find this option, but is there a way to disable double tap??~~
oops, it seems i was on an older version, the latest version is fast hell, NICE WORK!!

And... and i know this is lazy of me...
i use my tool to flash the recovery and its annoying having to rename recovery.img to (e.g) recovery-phil-v5.img before extracting it to my recovery folder (within the program)
as i have the default recovery named recovery.img...
so can you add recovery-v5.img to the name

It was supposed to be a flashable zip in recovery!
Is anyone able to flash it or you all extract it and fastboot?
Not used to HTC so not aware of this very well

If no one can flash it in the zip, I will release recovery.img files with a standard formatted name like for the zip

The official HTC unlock, which is the only option we have as of now, doesn't let recovery write to the recovery or boot partitions. That's why we have to use fastboot everytime

Ok,
Will stop releasing useless zips then, just the img
Next ones will be renamed like the zip, just a .img

Naming is script based for all devices, so cannot rename different. But it should do the trick for you I hope

Unless you are lucky and have a S-OFF device, which allows you to flash anything from recovery. But, unfortunately, those lucky ones are very few.

If I "gently" touch the screen to select something, the selector jumps to the next row/option. I need to touch the screen "harder" to select what I want without the selector to jump. I don't remember having this issue (or not?) on the previous version. Where can I get the previous version to test it?

I hope you understand what I say. I'm tired, can't explain it better right now.

No one ever reported such a behavior and I cannot reproduce it on my setup!
A video is welcome

Also, try to reset recovery settings if you changed the scroll and touch sensitivity settings

I have reseted the settings. Still having the problem.

I made a video. I am really, really sorry for the quality of the video, but the only thing I got around to record was a very old and crappy webcam. :cyclops:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYMadig7LEA&feature=youtu.be

As you can see in the video, most of the times I touch the display, the selector jumps one down. Unless it's on the last item, then it goes to the first.

As I said before, I never had this problem in the previous version.

I've tried changing Touch Accuracy, but the problem stays with all options.

Very wired in fact!
1- By the way, in Full Touch mode, you can select by first touch on lifted finger or not?
2- it seems a random x/y coordinate mismatch on soft touch. The fact that when you press well fixes it, means the code is good, just the board maybe not reporting right coordinates on some circumstances
3- If point 1 is buggy, maybe the board doesn't report well the finger lifted event or first touch causing some confusion (second touch being assumed as a scroll since no finger lifted event was detected)

To verify point 3: do the same but first touch top menu, then, last one. It should do a big scroll if that's the issue

It could be a defective board/screen too on soft touch

Need answers to above questions and mainly if others are having same issue

AdrianM · May 13, 2013

1 - Full touch works as intended: when i get my finger of the screen, the recovery goes to the selected item. So the problem is in Double Tap and Select Only modes.

As for point number 3, when I touch the first menu, it jumps to 2nd. Then I touch the last one, and it jumps to first one. I guess it works just like when I use volume down when I'm at the last menu - it goes to the top one.

I'm not saying that the code is not good, not my area, i just wonder why on previous version I haven't got this problem? I used the recovery in "Double tap" so far.

Can you provide me the previous version of recovery.img ? I want to see if it works well. If it has the same problem, then it must be something wrong with my device, as I know it worked fine before.

Good catch
I could reproduce the issue in fact. I only tried in full touch mode, that's why I couldn't reproduce it. Always provide the most info you can so your issue can be reproduced, else it is hard to fix or guess.

Have no idea why, but I will look at it and fix it. Should be not a big deal since I can reproduce it

Thank you for the video and description, was of a great help :good:

@Phil3759
i've noticed that it takes a bit for the PC (using adb) to recognise the phone is in recovery,
is there a way to make that a bit faster??

twistednl · May 14, 2013

Using this recovery with hox connected via usb to pc, the recovery full touch acts a bit slow on my side.

I love the usb mount option!

Yup me too, really love the usb mount option. It comes in very handy when you have booted to recovery and just remembered that you had forgotten to copy the rom that you were going to flash to your sd card

Phil3759 · May 15, 2013

It is normal for adb to take about a minute

How can I wipe battery stats?
Is the option hidden somewhere?
