[RECOVERY] ClockworkMod TOUCH 5.5.0.4 v1 - Droid Incredible Android Development

Im working on porting gweedo767's touch recovery to the incredible. I do not own an incredible so i need people to give me feedback so i know what to change. Once i get a good working fakeflash i will release an installable recovery image. If anyone wants to donate to me for me to get my own incredible that would be much appreciated and will make the process quicker.
Here is a youtube video I made of how it works: ------> VIDEO
4 ways to use recovery:
volume rockers
soft keys on bottom of screen
capacitive buttons
swipe gestures (up/down = scroll && left = back && right = select)
This will not install ANYTHING on your phone. It is just a test drive to see what it is like. This loads the files into the ram and runs them from there. As soon as you reboot everything will be back to the way it was. This does not change/alter ANY files on your phone.
I need to know what sort of things i need to change like:
swipe sensitivity
font size
order of soft keys on bottom of screen
anything else......
Please let me know how i can make this better

Here is the link to a FAKEFLASH: --------> http://sk8erwitskil.com/guest/skyrocket/CWMRT/inc/cwmrt-inc.zip (flash in CWM)
There is a known bug in ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4 that long file names can POSSIBLY cause backups to hang. There is a solution/workaround:
boot into recovery
try to make a backup (no matter if it passes or fails proceed to next step)
either through terminal emulator or through adb run the following command EXACTLY:
Code:
touch /sdcard/clockworkmod/.hidenandroidprogress
NOTICE THE PERIOD AND LACK OF EXTENSION.
and it is .hidenandroidprogress NOT .hideandroidprogress __notice the letter "n"__

Hello i tried your recovery and it has a few issues one being major. First off the up scroll button (the one that looks like a house) seems to select items instead of scroll up in the list. Also while on the subject of the buttons imho there a little small, and would look better more rounded, perhaps just putting a ring arround them.
If you swipe to the right on the screen it reboots the phone.
Ok now on to the major issue, it only backed up boot, system, and recovery. It did not back up data, datadata, cache, sd-ext, android.secure, or generate an md5 sum.
Other that that its good. It is not what i was expecting when i tried it. I was expecting to touch on the menu where the options are instead of using softkeys to navigate and select, but i still like this better than having to use vol keys and trackball, great job so far.

It is touch... You swipe to scroll. Swipe your finger up and down to scroll. Swipe right to select and SWIPE LEFT to go back. And thank you for your feedback.
Edit: and also that backup issue is a bug in clockworkmod. You have to put a file call:
.hidenandroidprogress in the /sdcard/clockworkmod/ folder. Notice the period and lack of extension.

Ok i see let me try this again.

Ok now i get it. Lol ok then heres my bug report.
Swipe left and right are way to sensitive. When scrolling up and down if you go just the slightest bit to the left or right, it either goes back or selects an item.
As i said earlier the up softkey selects items instead of moving up in the list.
Also as i said earlier not backing up everything or generating an md5.
Other than that it seems great.

i added the fix to the backup problem in the OP. add that file and itll solve that issue. that is a known issue in the base code of clockworkmod 5.x, im working on making a code fix for that. the workaround works fine for now tho. can you tell me what the "home" "menu" "back" & "search" capacitive buttons do in recovery? that way i can re-arrange the soft keys to line up with the corresponding capacitive button.
im guessing back = go back, search = select, but does home = scroll up or scroll down?
thanks

Home scrolls down, menu does nothing just vibes, back goes back, search selects. Also the on screen back key seems to select instead of go back like the on screen up key does.
EDIT: actually the menu button seems to go back also. Its hard to tell. I think when hitting home, menu, back, search, it is also picking up my finger slightly moving left or right when i hit it.

Also for the backup fix, that is just creating a file called .hiddenandroidprogress right? That file was already present in my cwm folder before i ever even tried this recovery. I ran the command anyways and tried to back up again but still only boot recovery and system.

ok i updated the file. the soft keys on screen should be fixed to at least be the right keys. im going to re-arrange the order to those of the capacitive once i get to my work computer tomoro. also, i made the left/right sensitivity lower. see how it works.

yes .hidenandroidprogress. what it does is stop cwm from enumerating the file list that it is backing up. if it gets stuck after that then i have to go in and debug the filesystem points i have probably as they are wrong for data, etc.

Still to sensitive left to right, and the on screen up key still goes back instead of up in the list.

This is only a bootable test, it changes nothing on your phone. You flash this it temp boots to the touch recovery, and then when you exit the touch recovery you will be exactly the way it was before flashing it. It is not permanent.

[SOLUTION] Button Savior On-screen Softkeys - Utility Updated on Market

For those that would like some onscreen softkeys that you can even see in the dark.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865525
I have been using this little utility on my Android HD2 for a while now and figured I would give it a shot on my Gtab. Works Great! Merry Christmas to All!
[UPDATE Dec 30th 2010]
This great utility is now on the Android Market. Install it from there and you will get prompts for updates when they are released. I had an update yesterday that added a couple of skins and a few new features. It also has a new settings interface and it still works great on the G-Tab!

Was thinking of trying to find a way to disable the right side hardware buttons myself. They are fine until you are trying to reposition the tablet and accidentally press one. Or lose your grip and are grasping for purchase and press one then. Very annoying for sure.

Some nice little glow in the dark dots would be nice. I wonder if something like that would affect the responsiveness of the buttons? Maybe the dude from AndroidStickers.com can give us some input here?

I have tried fluorescent reinforcement stickers, but you can not see them that well in total darkness. As far as disabling the keys you have to cover them with something thick like leather or many layers of paper. I tried sticky notes.... several layers of them but they still pick up your touch

I might be way off, but I saw an app in the market called Button Remapper. I haven't had a chance to dig into it, but it looks like it's able to remap the soft keys on the bezel. I don't know if they can be remapped to null or an empty command, but at the least maybe they can be remapped to something that doesn't do much (like dpad up/down/left/right or something).
If I get a chance to play with it, I'll report back. Of course, anybody who beats me to it is encouraged to post their results.
EDIT:
Hey, it worked. I decided to jump into it and try it out. I basically just popped in and replaced any buttons that were soft buttons (search/home/menu/back) with DPAD buttons. I don't know if changing every reference is required or if there are better options than using DPAD buttons, but it's a start.
EDIT AGAIN:
DPAD worked fine but I kept accidentally selecting links and whatnot in the browser. I tried End Call, since we don't have phone capability, but it seemed to just close whatever app I was in. Ended up binding Back/Menu to Volume Down and Search/Home to Volume Up, which is working well.
EDIT AGAIN AGAIN:
Even better, Focus seems to not do anything at all (obviously), unless in an app that uses the camera's focus. Don't know how I didn't notice that. Now to train myself to never use the soft keys!

How easy is it to revert back to stock button action? Or do you turn this function ON each time you boot and then run this program?
At each bootup there's a notification item that you can select to restore to your defaults, which you can clear until the next restart, in case something gets borked.
I have 4 very small black metal "nail covers" that I superglued directly on the side next to each soft button. Now I just feel the button with my index finger and use the side of my thumb to press the screen next to it, works great in the dark, better than the adhesive pads I had. Very small and black and low profile...

CM7 "N" Key / Back - best options?

I'm not running any extra virtual key apps... What I want to do... is have the physical N button do a BACK on 1 click, and HOME on 2 clicks... Or normal click BACK, and LONG click HOME...
I've looked through some of the settings - can't tell how to set that up (if at all).
Any thoughts?
Why not use the soft keys built in to CM7?
Sometimes the status bar is gone... either because something causes it to hide, or because I hide it.

The best setup so far (imho), is to set the soft keys show up at volume button press.
Since the power button or N button tend to fail sometimes.
By doing that, you can hide soft keys with no fear and just presse volume button to bring they back to the screen, flawless.
@blauson
I hate doing that because if I need to change volume I need to leave the app, go into settings, and change it manually. :/
Somehow my "n" button got turned into a back button. Weird. Would much rather haave it be a menu button. but I dont even know how it changed in the first place! lol

I use the N key to cancel full screen. Its more comfortable to use than the volume keys for me.

This is how I've been doing it as well, but sometimes it brings me all the way back to home after showing the status bar. Do you ever experience that? Any tips if so?
Regardless, I like my volume buttons to be... well... volume buttons.
You could use button savior to have a never-hide home only option button located on the very right side by the N button, leaving that slot unused on adw launcher and treat it as a "permanent" home button.

It has always worked well for me. Have you used the nook screen recalibrate app? Before I ran that I had a really hard time getting the lower part of my screen to recognize my touch. I think there are some sensitivity settings in the zMooth app you can play around with too.

[MOD]Enabled soft keys/Disabled Cap buttons **7.29 update posted**

This mod enables onscreen soft keys (THANKS TO LEONARDOARAUJO for the modded framework-res) and disables all cap keys except for menu. cap keys still are illuminated, but home, back, and search are disabled as well as haptic feedback for the 3. as i cannot as of yet get a search key remap working i decided to try n make this.I kinda like it btr even tho i lose a lil real estate cuz soft keys are cool..tested and working fine.

actually now tht im paying attn, i think its mainly from home screen using apex. i can set a shortcut but i jus kinda like having menu access rt there. works for me
edit: ur right..menu 3 dots thing is there anytime there is a menu to access, EXCEPT apex home screen. but sometimes its up on top. i thought about disabling menu but decided to keep it as its nice to have rt there, i guess for the same reason i like the search key to recents remap..more easily accessible.

[Q] Enable Software + Disable Hardware Buttons

So I have a general disdain for capacative buttons. I had planned to go into build.prop and add
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Click to expand...

as well as go into /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl and comment out keys 158 and 172 (Back and Home respectively). This would disable the hardware buttons and enable software buttons. The problem is that every time I reboot, the system automatically restores the original versions of both files. Does anyone know how I could prevent this apparent safety function? It's proving far more of an annoyance than a benefit.

not until we have s-off. The emmc checks files against its last known configuration and discards any changes. Its been that way since the evo3d. its the same reason supercid wont stick also.
Well that's extremely disappointing. The buttons on here are driving me mad. Who thought it was a good idea to have the home button do three things not one of which is go directly to the homescreen? I was really hoping to get around them.
Any word on the S-Off progress?

One press goes to whatever page of the launcher was last in use(not always a Homescreen, most often app drawer)
Double press goes to multi-task
Long press goes to Google Now.
There is no "always go directly to the homescreen" action associated with the home button.

I find a 2nd press of home brings me all the way back home when app drawer, or non home blink feed was previously used...

So now you have two very different functions tied to the same action for a total of four actions associated with the Home button, none of which is "go directly to the Homescreen". What you present here is "Go to last page used in the launcher, then go to the default homescreen."

Yeah, sorry, i realize i didn't answer your question. I hope you find the low level solution you're searching for, and that my tip helps you in the short term.

No dice. The files are editable but have no impact.
Is there now any way to disable the hardware keys? I only want to have software keys (paranoid android 4.4 rc1)
Gesendet von meinem Nokia 3310 LTE

Menu option?

I am probably over looking it but I have 2 questions.... Can I enable full landscape view, home screen etc... Second question on my evo lte I could hold menu key or recent apps key and it would let me long press to pick either or... I see I can change home button to also search can I do same to menu key

Landscape view is not supported on a stock rom as far as I know, I would wait for some rom development I'm sure it will get baked in. I noticed on this phone that the ... will appear on the far right if there is no place in the app for a soft key menu. So if the ... is there use that, if it isn't there should be a place in the app where you can press to do the same thing as pressing the menu. I actually wouldn't mind a full time menu key in the far right, I think it's very handy. I original capacitive 4 buttons on the evo were still my favorite lay out.

If you use GravityBox & XPosed, you can have one there at all times. See screenshots. They were taken from my Nexus 7 Tablet, but you should expect no difference, with the exception of the small window in the first screenshot (courtesy of the XHaloFloatingWindow module).
I might have to give this a try. The space is there for the menu key so I wouldn't mind it always being there.

That's definitely something that I am likely to use on every device with on screen buttons. Using GravityBox, I remapped the menu to switch to the last app when double tapped, and show the power menu when long pressed. It's wonderful.
