[PhilZ-cwm6][n7000] Stock Kernel+CWM6+Root+exFAT+NTFS-LTA

[shoey63]

Works on my note too. Backup goes to ext sd card and restores without issue (even old cwm backups) Touch interface works good and buttons also work (for the faint-hearted). Characters not too big - in fact I have to put glasses on to read them clearly (eyes arent as good as they used to be) Cant wait for it to be integrated into kernel!:thumbup:

I will try to increase fonts and raws for the note, but will need someone to test it so we find a sweet post
Can someone post a pic on how it looks for the Note, so that I can figure it better?

 

[dr.ketan]

Oh sorry phill, I do not have extra camera with me at present.
Anyway if someone won't post till evening i will manage it, moving for surgery right now.

I tried cwm6.0.1.4 touch on my Note and here are my remarks :
1. Unlike previous version , my pc sees external sd card (in "mount usb storage"). That is good news and that would be even better if it could see the internal card too.
2. The "touch" controls are too sensitive (and subsequently dangerous) and this is the reason G. Lewarne dropped those controls definitely from hydracore's cwm. Dear Phil, you are doing a fantastic job without a GN7000, but I'm afraid you have to feel physically the "touch" controls on a real Note, so as to make your own opinion. This cannot be done by sending you some screens!

Thanks again for all you've done till now!

I am looking to fix the usb mount issue. Fact it is broken in original CWM6 for the i9100...
About the touch sensitivity, I need more feedback. On the i9100, it works like the new Siyah recovery, not more sensitive. Maybe it is too sensitive on the Note because of screen, not sure without a device in my hands. In any case, you cannot select a menu with tap, so no risks like with the original CWM6 touch from Koush (see the 6.0.1.2 touch version I already released, nice GUI but major error risk). To select, you have to use the bottom touch keys or swipe right
By the way, the phone back button, vol up/down and power menu can work for people that prefer non touch

Thanks a lot for the pic, yeh, too way small. Expected since it is the i9100 smaller screen recovery
Will fix it later

If you are not comfortable with "touch", just use the buttons. Works the same as non-touch version that way. (As just quoted by Phil in post above mine) Personally I like to swipe and then just press "enter" button @ bottom right.

 

[Phil3759]

Well,
I tried to play a bit with width/hight and it affects in a big manner the sensitivity
After releasing it for the i9100, I will look at enhancing touch experience for the Note

.... Personally I like to swipe and then just press "enter" button @ bottom right.

Me too, I prefer the Home button for validating, duplicating thus the power button. It is more "natural". Though after all, it's a matter of taste.

If modifying it causes headaches, would you consider doing a "pre-release - as is"?

special thanks for Doc Ketan without whose consistent and substantial support this thread could not be
thanks for putting us in the right
each time we were in a hurry and faltered .....

PS: thanks to all who helped porting this to the Note...... mainly dr.ketan who offered a valuable support. I would have never released the Note if he did not offer to continue the support in this thread. I just would not have the time and possibility (without a phone) to maintain any support.....

Couldn't agree more

You are right, development can't be hamper, if single person is not there, may be one from thousands of XDA member helped out if it couldn't be me.
BTW, If we were in place of each others certainly i wud like to congratulate you for phill's word, b'coz i have CARDIOMEGALY ..
Regards.

Good luck Doc! Hope all goes well:fingers-crossed: BTW. My partner also has "enlarged heart" (Off topic -sorry)

When the recovery will be built from source for the n7000, things should be fixed, let's wait
I need first to release the i9100 because I can test it. The n7000 is basically same phone, so it is very easy to port.

Touch recovery for me is done now. Things to do before release:
- play with menu font size (bigger menus = better readability for older eyes but less text to show in file names...)
- try to fix the usb mount
- release the i9100
- release same n7000 version so you can test it
- release n7000 final

Then:
- add more check routines to my builder script if a new kernel changes too much code (will take me some time)
- make some order in my files and play with github to release sources (a bit of time)

Later (if I have time)
- add open script support (opensource alternatives to CWMManager and ROM Manager)
- ...

OK, back on topic. Ran some tests on Ubuntu:_

Touch CWM so sensitive , if you don't pay attention what you do then mistouch the option.( somehow I format my ex card,which I didn't want)
Will be better with bigger menu font size..for older eyes .You got its :laugh:
Hope see you on note 2 too.

As I said, the final version will be fixed after your testings. It is the i9100 version, so it is expected to be that small font + too high sensitivity

Thanks a lot for having tested the binary-update. I did not have time to do it and it was pushed at bottom of my todo list
When done, I will update all my releases with that safe binary-update as Entropy suggested
Thank you

CWM 6.0.1.4 Touch version ready for release

Good news,
I managed, thanks to the great support from gweedo767 and talustus (credits will be written later), to port cwm6 touch to the i9100

This is the stock CWM 6.0.1.4 with only added the touch code from Siyah repository

I attach here a temporary pre-release, tagged with some ui_prints that I will remove in final build if it is ok

It should work on the i9100, i777 and the N7000, with maybe wired too big characters on the note that I will fix later when I release a specific version for the N7000

Please try all functions, except flashing update.zip files if you are not on a safe kernel. If you are on my PhilZ-cwm6 kernel or any other safe kernel, you can also flash zip files safely

Enough said, try it and report please, include nandroid backup.

I already tested it on my phone, of course

Tried LR1 and LRK with latest kernel, cannot boot pass boot animation. CWM 6.0.1.4 with only added the touch code works great. Using unofficial Miui 2.9.21.

Good kernel!
But it will be perfect with more governor battery friendly as conservative, abyssplug and pegasusq.....
Can you add this governor?

Thanks

Really nice, thanks for your job! :good:
