thank you very much

Very nice to see this come out, looking forward to trying it out. Not to sound ungrateful but I have been hoping for a recovery that lets you name the backups rather than have them time stamped. Call me lazy but I flash back and forth between roms enough that keeping then straight just by the date and time is tough for an old fart like me...and yes I know rom manager can rename them for me but like I said I'm lazy...
Great work guys, thanx for your contributions to android life

Awesome guys, very smooth and much better looking than CWM recovery, a keeper indeed.
Edit: For those curious, it also works fine with the Reboot to Recovery feature build into many custom roms, such as CM7, Oxygen etc.

Thanks shift and teamwin, always good stuff.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App

Just tried it out and compared it to Clockwork Recovery. Seems a lot cleaner, definitely love how you can assign a folder for flashable .zips.
I think I'll keep this over my Clockwork Recovery 4.0.0.2 looking forward to future updates.

OK I took the plunge using the other teamwin contribution of the day(you guys rock!), the app for flashing img files like kernels and recoveries and it works fine so far on my ns4g. I especially like how I can mount usb in recovery and get at my files, never had any luck with any previous recoveries allowing it, even ones that had the option. Haven't tried all the options just yet but I am sure to find something to flash around here requiring a backup or two....let me dig around...

I too flashed it looks nice, love the options, thanks teamwin

That would mean we'd have to create a software keyboard type interface which might bloat the recovery. As you said you could always use rom manager, or even mount the sdcard as a usb drive and change the folder name manually.

I knew for Shinzul my Ninzul was involved.

Thats why I'm just a dreamer and not a doer lol...you guys know the limits and I guess I just don't see them...awesome work either way guys
One thing I could use some help with though, I tried to flash deck's latest and it gave me a status 7 error, just wondering if its because this isn't official for the ns4g or not...and I can report that it did a successful backup and restore for me

BUGS:
I have tested install,wipe and backup and it's working good, If you have found a bug post here but don't post common twrp bugs.
Credits:
- Dees_Troy and other all Twrp team - for making this recovery
- Cyanogenmod team - used cm7 device folder to compile this recovery

Just flashed it. Nice job!
No bugs so far, but don't take my word for it since I only played around with it for five minutes.
Noticed so far:
1. Very quick to exit recovery and reboot into the system (less than a second)
2. A lot of customizations and nice interface

I love it! Finally someone did.
The other day, I was thinking of compiling CWM 6 Touch from source but I guess I don't need it now

Real nice, just installed and take a fast look on it. Will test more later. Thanks:good:

been waiting for this. I had this on my a100 but i couldn't find it on my p500
finally this day has come
this should be in original development
hey it rebooted in the middle of a backup(that backup was like 200 mb). now it can't backup anymore. it can't create folder sdcard/ (text cuts off)
edit: reflashing recovery. rebacking up. seeing what happens
wierd... its says my sd-ext is 0 mb. i use link2sd and i definitly have stuff on my sd-ext
Edit: Now everything works. thanks...

It say's on recovery that it's 2.2.2.1.. And thank's a lot to this wonderful recovery..

This is due to our phone's screen size. I guess Ron can fix it while building, it needs some xml edits

Is it as stable as CWM 5.0.2.0? What are the added features? Need your suggestions as I never used any other recovery other than CWM.

[RECOVERY]TWRP 2.4 - TeamTX

Hello fellow old friends! I've brought something new and cool to this old forum(slow to keep up with the latest stuff).. And exremely cool for guys with non-working sd slots; You can now easily flash roms using "ADB Sideload" feature of TWRP.. bla bla...
UPDATE - 12MAR2013 - TWRP 2.4 Build taken down due to huge size which can't fit in our recovery partition.. Currently trying to slim it down..
Today, I felt like getting my ubuntu up and doing some fun stuff like old day. There! I decided to get another build of TWRP. I couldn't really test is as my bros phone is nowhere to be found . However, since I used the exact same source as the first build it should work just fine. Anyone willing to try their luck is welcome and appreciated..

Introduction:
Team Win Recovery Project 2.3, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
Key Features:
Touchscreen driven with real buttons and drag-to-scroll
XML-based GUI that allows full customization of the layout – true theming!
Settings are saved to the sdcard and persist through reboots
Ability to choose which partitions to back up and which to restore
Ability to choose to compress backups – now with pigz (multi-core processor support for faster compression times)
Onscreen keyboard
Decryption of /data
Easy selection of internal/external storage
See changelog below for 2.3 features
What's new in 2.3:
-Rebased onto AOSP Jelly Bean source code
-Rewrote backup, restore, wipe, and mount code in C++ classes for easier maintenance going forward
NOTE: backups from prior versions of TWRP are still compatible with 2.3
-ADB sideload functionality from AOSP is included in 2.3, see this link for more info
-Re-wrote fix permissions entirely in C++ and runs in a few seconds instead of a few minutes (thanks to bigbiff)
-Improvements to zip finding in OpenRecoveryScript (should be a lot fewer GooManager automation issues)
-Faster boot times
-Added charging indicator while in recovery (only updates once every 60 seconds)
While this update may not bring a host of new must-have features, this update is a significant re-write of much of the core TWRP code. AOSP Jelly Bean recovery source moved to mostly C++ code and now all of the "TWRP" code is fully rewritten into C++ as well. Now that we've laid this groundwork, we're in a much better position to pull in future AOSP recovery updates as well as implementing more great new features.
Since TWRP 2.3 is based on AOSP jelly bean sources, TWRP now uses recovery API 3 instead of 2. Some zips may no longer work if the developer is using an out-of-date update-binary. This API change should not be a problem on newer devices, but older devices will probably encounter several zips that need to be updated. If needed, you can try using this update-binary that was compiled with current sources. It goes in your zip file in the META-INF/com/google/android folder.
What's new in 2.2 & 2.1:
On-screen keyboard! -- supports long press, backspace repeat, and swipe left deletes everything left of the cursor
Name new backups before creation and rename existing backups
Rename files and folders in the file manager
Pseudo-terminal emulator
Support decrypting an encrypted data partition on Galaxy Nexus (enter password using keyboard)
Backup archive splitting -- allows backup and restore of data partitions larger than 2GB
Simplified XML layout support between resolutions
Added dual storage selection radio buttons to zip install, backup, and restore pages
Improved zip install compatibility
Updated update-binary source code
Numerous small bug fixes and improvements
Zip queuing as seen in TWRP 1.1.x is back
Slider control (swipe to confirm most actions aka swipe to wipe)
Lockscreen (with slider to unlock)
Basic file manager (copy, move, delete, and chmod any file)
Added support for devices with /data/media (most Honeycomb tablets, new ICS devices like Galaxy Nexus)
Displays sizes of each partition in the backup menu
Added listbox GUI element (currently used for listing time zones)
Updated stock XML layouts to be more consistent and easier to port to different resolutions
XML layout files are significantly smaller
Partitions available backup are more accurate for some devices
Removed unneeded error messages (/misc errors, unable to stat sd-ext, etc.)
Fixed a bug with blkid detection code
Fixed bug where a blank line was inserted between every line of text during zip installs
Fixed a bug during zip installs where an invalid zip would cause TWRP to get stuck in the zip install
Added setting for themers to toggle simulation mode to make theming easier
New devices added - Galaxy Nexus GSM & CDMA (preview only, manual install), Acer Iconia Tab A500, HTC Vivid, Motorola Defy
Added support for .jpg images in the theme engine
Changed images for stock tablet theme - makes tablet builds about 500KB smaller
Removed unneeded non-GUI images from GUI - makes all builds about 100KB smaller
In addition to the above new features, TWRP 2.2 features a scripting engine that allows an app to send commands to the recovery for the recovery to perform during startup. We call this scripting engine OpenRecoveryScript. This engine will be put to use immediately in the GooManager app. GooManager will be able to install recoveries automatically for most supported devices. The app will also let you choose to install multiple zips from within Android, wipe cache & dalvik, and run a backup.
Theming:

Well thats weird I just checked now and it looked like it flashed AOSP 1.4 successfully.. Ill check again after a full wipe..
And yes battery stats button is gone. Have no idea why.. I had just disable sd_partitioning to lower recovery image size to fit our phone. I dont remember disabling anything else.. Why do you even need wiping battery stats?

did a full wipe including system and flashed:
1.AOSP GB 1.4 -- FLASHED
2.TX-MIUI-SDSL -- FLASHED
3.Grifts CM10 build -- Took longer than the previous 2 roms but FLASHED (I was even gonna make a battery pull cause I thought it was doing nothing, then just saw the final show_progress)
4.IceCreamSwift RC2 -- FLASHED
As you can easily see, it has no problem flashing android 2.3.7, 4.0.4, 4.1.2...
if you still cant flash, please try some other rom and report.. Thanks1

if its TWPR you are asking, I had already got my build environment set up following this, then it was really easy to build TWRP;
you can simply follow those instructions there for ubuntu, udev rules, and other tools like java, then skip Gnex stuff, use the same process for getting repo commands and instead of initializing AOSP source initialize CM source(https://github.com/Cyanogenmod -----...). After getting the cm repo follow The official TWRP guide. NOTE: Youll need device files for your phone. I hope someone has an open-source project
Good Luck! feel free to pm if you need something. And in case of any problem with building twrp or other twr related make sure you check their freenode you'll get your answer faster than you would on the guide thread..

Again, if you still cant flash roms, please briefly explain what happens and provide a log (Advanced>Copy Log to SD) Thanks!

My problem is not flashing roms (didn't tried either), is flashing mods (apks, fixes, and so on). With those installation fails always and with the previous version of TWRP they install correctly

it could be because of TWRP 2.3 being based on AOSP jelly bean sources, "TWRP now uses recovery API 3 instead of 2. Some zips may no longer work if the developer is using an out-of-date update-binary. This API change should not be a problem on newer devices, but older devices will probably encounter several zips that need to be updated. If needed, you can try using this update-binary that was compiled with current sources. It goes in your zip file in the META-INF/com/google/android folder."
if there was a particular reason then it would affect ROM flashing too. (I guess).. I think you should try to flash a not working patch with the above provided update-binary..

That's right I also had that issue but it was because of older binaries.
But I do have another issue, this version backs up my rom without problem but when it comes to restore, i just get bootloops. The thing is that apparently there are no errors restoring the backup. I have TWRP 2.1.4 and 2.3.1.1 flashable zips for when I need to restore
Are you aware of this XiproX?

[script][tool][windows][4.4]convert any rom to full f2fs

This is a Windows Batch Script/Tool to make any 4.4 based ROM to full F2FS compatibility !! This tool can convert any existing ROM from ext4 to Full F2FS Compatibility in a few clicks !! All tools necessary for conversion included in the batch file itself !!
Basic Info
What is F2FS?
F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System) is a flash file system created by Kim Jaegeuk at Samsung for the Linux operating system kernel. The motive for F2FS was to build a file system that from the start takes into account the characteristics of NAND flash memory-based storage devices (such as solid-state disks, eMMC, and SD cards), which are widely used in computer systems ranging from mobile devices to servers.
What is All-F2FS?
We used F2FS only for /data. It was simply because we have only to flash a compatible Kernel and Format /data partition. With All-F2FS we use F2FS for all partitions and we need a compatible ROM

[url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/orig-development/recovery-rom-kernel-f2fs-05-04-14-t2706825[/url]
4. Any Windows version and my batch script
Features
Code:
1. One Click F2FS Conversion Process
2. All tools included in the Zip file itself
3. Changes only the relevant parts of your updater-script keeping the rest unmodified
4. Compatible boot.img included in the ROM itself
5. Now Scripts are Device Specific
6. Error conditions at many places so a noob cant go wrong
***Special note for Stock ROM users***
Code:
The script requires busybox and since stock roms dont have busybox the repacked ROM wont boot up.
In such a case the best option is try out any other AOSP based ROM
Instructions
Code:
[LIST=1]
[*] Unpack the Zip file you downloaded from Link Below to a folder named F2FSROMConvetor (Dont Mess with the name).
[*] Take Care that the path you extract my Zip for eg in my case "C:\Users\Nabendu\Desktop\F2FSROMConvetor"
does not contain any blank spaces in between or else the script will not work as intended.
[*] Run F2FS Convertor.bat
[*] Select your device
[*] Place the Zip in the Extract /Input directory when prompted
[*] The script will Unpack your ROM
[*] Select option 11 for AOSP,12 for CM, 13 for com.android FC 14 for Any Other
[*] Repack your ROM
[*] A black window will open showing the Repacking progress. Dont close my Blue Window anytime during it the repacking process.
After 100% repacking is done the Black Window will close automatically and you can now press any key to Continue
[*] Check NEW F2FS ROM directory for the Repacked ROM
[*] Flash and Enjoy
[*] Cleanup the working directory cleanup.bat (Cleans everything including original input ROM.Only a copy of the Output ROM is maintained)
[/LIST]

Well that's a personal build.. Not sure if it's okay to include it with other roms..anyways.. I've converted latest rastakat stockui.. Will upload it soon

Thank you for this. I just went to f2fs 2 days ago and was thinking of how to include one of my favorites kalo now and once 4.4.3 comes out. Knowing enough to wait for compatibility once 4.4.3 drops . Really thanks again.

Most of the custom Roms already come with busybox installed !! So shouldn't be a problem for anyone unless u usingn a stock ROM !!

Thx a lot I'm not good at Linux so dint try bash scripting !! Anyways if we can get this it will be smooth to develop a mobile version of the script too !!
Bdw @fishears also wanted to port this to Linux !! Might be you could get in touch with him to know the progress made by him

Can someone point out the differences and advantages of all-f2fs ?
Are we currently using f2fs or ext4?
I know, noob question.

Normally every one is using ext4 for all partitions.
That's why you have to format all partitions before you can start with f2fs.
F2fs is faster than ext4. Apps are opening quocker. Reboot is a bit faster. Everything feels smoother than on ext4.

Ql, but do I need to make a backup of /data partirion before flash? I mean backup of all user data. I assume that format to f2fs will erase all user data.

Take note.
Restoring a ext4 nandroid backup onto a F2FS partition is impossible (except when using something like Titanium Backup to restore apps from from data nandroid).
So I'd suggest you to backup your apps with Titanium Backup or Carbon/Helium. Send all your "SDCard" content to a PC, format and flash ROM send stuff back and restore using the backup app.

*Fixed a bug that caused a crash and restart of recovery when rebooting system right after a zip install
