Oh ok, thanks sk8er... I was looking for another recovery and hadn't read up on it so... maybe I will give this another shot.:eek: (I'm actually coming from your other recovery -CWMR 5.5.0.4)

if you havent had any problems with 5.5.0.4 and like that format you can go into cwm 6.0.1.2 and go to backup and restore and change backup format to tar and you will have the same backup format as 5504. :)

I hate to ask this but how do I know if it's located there or not?

if you use a file manager app or mount your sdcard and find out if .android_secure is on either /emmc or /sdcard or if you have a rom that does it the other way see if it is on /sdcard/external_sd or /sdcard. if you have an /emmc folder and it lives on /sdcard then its external.

so it looks like you were using a ROM that put it on your external sdcard but sometime after june 7 you switched to a rom that now uses it on your internal sdcard since the one on your internal was accessed on august 20. so download the normal version and it will backup the correct folder :)

You are awesome sk8! Thanks! That's probably why I couldn't use my previous nandroid. So when I flash this cwm will I need to flash a new nandroid??

This is my old one. When I flashed this new recovery i did a nandroid to external I believe. But I don't see it. Also with my rom manager app do I delete it or do I still need it? And if I need it what do I do next? Sorry for all the questions. Just so used to the old way

thats already been talked about. the first backup takes longer because of the dedupe format. incremental backups are much quicker. do a google search for koush dedupe clockworkmod 6 and youll see. i dont have the energy to explain it again.



correct. because /sdcard/external_sd is how your OS mounts it. but in recovery it will be mounted as /sdcard. for samsung devices the stock way to mount storage is: internal = /emmc, external = /sdcard. depending on what rom you use though the developer of that rom may change the way that the OS mounts it because he prefers a different way. but in recovery i set it to be internal = /emmc, external = /sdcard

Ok thanks, so second one it is then. Btw, i just have the stock ICS for tmobile.

I notice in 6.0.1.2 non-touch at least, under advanced the option for "partition internal sdcard" is back.

This was removed by sk8erwitskil in CWM5 with warnings that it could brick our phones.

Has this been solved or is this a bug that it's back?

It sure would be great to be able to repartition my phone's internal storage to get more space for apps and less for media storage, or even to eliminate the media storage entirely like on the Galaxy Nexus!

I'm reposting this from blackwing's thread here at this suggestion to talk to sk8erwitskil directly.

i only took it out because there was really no use for it and unless you are an experienced user you could really do damage to your device. there was no bug that caused problems for this particular device. if you would like that option added in you can PM me and i will make a private version for you but i do not want to make a public one since there will be people out there who dont use it right and then come blaming me that i bricked their device.

you have to see where your ROM mounts your external storage. in recovery i have all the mount points set correctly so if you selected backup to external then its there. the way recovery mounts your partitions and the way your ROM mounts your partitions are different.

So I have no worries it should be there. if I did a backup correct? Btw it looks very nice. With astro it shows only sdcard0, im assuming external is 01? How can I get it to see it? Again thanks

Well actually, like I noted, it's already an option in there.

How could using this cause bricks or otherwise damage the phone? Is it doing something more than reallocating the space among the partitions in internal memory?

no you do not need to make a new one between versions. all cwm6 backups are compatible with all cwm6 versions

Well actually, like I noted, it's already an option in there.

yah its an option in stock but i took it out of my version. idk exactly what its doing as it hasnt been something ive ever looked into. i can take a look

    NEW: I have created a script to easily update to the latest version of my recovery.
    - Download this file ----> updater.sh (updated to fix typo)
    - Put it on your sdcard
    - open adb and type:
    Code:
    su
    sh /mnt/sdcard/updater.sh skyrocket
    - it will reboot you into recovery
    - starting in v14.2.1 it will automatically start installing and reboot when its done

    Note: If your sdcard is not mounted on /mnt/sdcard then open the script and change the line that says path=/mnt/sdcard/sk8sUpdater to match your mount point. i.e. ICS users may have to change it to say path=/mnt/emmc/sk8sUpdater

    I have ported touch recovery to Clockworkmod 6. I will be making updates to this just like my other touch recovery. I have added a few menu items and tweaks to make it like my CWM5 recovery.

    Looking through the cwm code more in depth i have noticed MANY flaws with the code for new(er) phones that use /emmc instead of /sdcard as the main storage. i have now fixed those flaws in v9+.

    Here is a video of how it works: --------> YOUTUBE LINK


    Flashable zip:
    cwm6027touch_v14.4.6_hercules.zip: ---------> DOWNLOAD

    This is what the new dedupe format does. This is a direct quote from the original creator of clockworkmod:
    Code:
    ClockworkMod Recovery now deduplicates files between builds. This results in way smaller backups.
    Don't delete /sdcard(or emmc)/clockworkmod/blobs
    
    Overview
    I've gotten a few questions about how this works, so I figured I'd make a post on it.
    
    Basically, here's what happens:
    
    The files being backed up are hashed (sha256, not that it matters). Then it checks for a file with the name of the hash in
    /sdcard/clockworkmod/blobs
    
    So, if the hash of the file was c5273884b90d490134e7737b29a65405cea0f7bb786ca82c6337ceb24de6f5ed, it looks for /sdcard/clockworkmod/blobs/c5273884b90d490134e7737b29a65405cea0f7bb786ca82c6337ceb24de6f5ed
    
    If the hash file is found, it continues on to the next file. Otherwise, it copies the file to the blobs directory with the file name being the hash.
    
    ROMs and user data, for the most part, do not change too much between builds and backups. So, your APKs, system files, etc, are generally only stored once. This saves a ton of space. Especially between incremental backups.
    
    
    Some of you may be thinking "well, how do I delete a backup?".
    First, never delete the blobs directory. This would actually delete all your backups by rendering them unusable.
    Simply delete the usual backup directory, and the next time you run a backup, all the unused hash files will be automatically delete (a process known as garbage collection). The recovery will show "Freeing space..." while this is happening.

    Whats in the extras menu?

    - change bootanimation (this lets you select a bootanimation form your internal sdcard. it backs up your current bootanimation to /{internal sdcard}/clockworkmod/ba_backup/. it only backs up the original bootanimation so if you keep changing your bootanimation you will still only have your original one in ba_backup.)

    - enable/disable one confirm (this makes it so you only have to scroll through one confirm selection when installing something instead of having to go through 10 of them to click yes)

    - hide/show backup & restore progress (this makes it so the progress bar when you backup/restore doesnt show up and makes backups/restores a bit faster since it doesnt have to show you the progress and files its backing up)

    - select android_secure on internal/external (use this to select where you have .android_secure. default is internal, so if you have it on external make sure to choose this once to set it up)

    - aroma file manager (file explorer)

    - create custom zip (this will create a custom rom from the currently installed files you have on your phone. it takes your /system partition and /boot partition and makes them into a zip file ready to be flashed. the end product will be in clockworkmod/custom_rom/. this has recently been fixed to work on all phones/roms

    - choose custom openrecoveryscript (read THIS)

    - recovery info (shows the version of recovery and the build date)

    - Special Backup & Restore (backup and restore your kernel/boot and /misc partitions)

    - Misc Nandroid Settings (change time zone, turn preload support on/off (default is off), enable md5 checking)
