[RECOVERY] Cyanogen recovery for Nexus 5

EDIT: Post removed since there's an official download now!
Just open download.cyanogenmod.org, choose your device and download the latest recovery
Much fun! Thanks CyanogenMod!

How to get back the automatic recovery update!
I activated 'Update Cyanogen update' but it doesn't work?!
Okay, so you activated the option + flashed a new build and Cyanogen recovery is still not there? Here's what's the cause and how to fix it:
Some third-party recovery systems (e.g. TWRP) prevent to be overwritten by deactivating the automatic recovery update function. This happens by renaming the file /system/recovery-from-boot.p into recovery-from-boot.bak.
To get that functionality back:
- Rename /system/recovery-from-boot.bak back to recovery-from-boot.p
- Execute /system/bin/install-recovery.sh to actually install Cyanogen recovery.
Both steps can be done with CM file manager. You have to give the app root access!
After performing the steps above you can use 'Update Cyanogen recovery' for the future builds to keep your recovery up to date.
You can use this method if you don't want to download/use the img file above or don't want to regularly update the recovery manually.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask in this thread! I'm not a developer but I'll try my best to help you out

Seems like you're not having trouble with CM recovery. I've tried this before using the 2nd method of renaming and executing. I might go back to CM recovery in a while. I notice the latest TWRP 2.8.5.2 is not really clearing the data partitions of my device. Already gave you a +1 on the CM thread, but I will still give you one for this thread! Nice job!.

Yeah.. it's working fine for me
Thanks for the first comment on this thread! Really appreciate it

Just want to clear this one, does "Wipe data/factory reset" includes internal storage?

No, it doesn't Or at least shouldn't It didn't format internal storage on CWM and TWRP and the same should apply for CM recovery Would be freaking thankful if you could try that (of course backup ur internal storage before if you want to try)

I just wanted to pop into this thread and say that I installed cyanogen recovery (homebrewed)- it seems fine- gestures work well. There is no option to wipe system, but hey, dirty flashing is the in thing nowadays. Life is too short to wipe data and and then restore it from backup.
I did install PA gapps with cyanogen recovery - the PA script and the recovery graphics fight each other, but it's not like I have to look at it all the time. There is a lot of scrreen flashing between the script output and the little android dude. If you blink your eyes fast enough, you can see just one or the other.

Yeah, i also found out that CM recovery tries to 'hide' what's going on so that you can only see the green Andy Looks weird with PA GApps but works fine with official CM nightly builds

Am I able to update official nightlies with cyanogen recovery?
is the touch screen swipe based or touch based?

Did you even read the OP?

I removed my Google Drive link with the image files since there's an official download now!

Sadly the ROM backup for me was not useful because on boot the phone doesn't recognize my fingerprints, tried EVERYTHING but I should reinstall from scratch. Always worked on my other devices, but this one was the first time it doesn't, and was very frustrating. Next time I will try erasing the access security before making a backup...

It probably didn't because of fingerprints

I will appreciate if anyone can make this into a custom rom and I don't even want the credit. Just a custom rom for this backup would be nice.

Sorry, what wasn't recognized was the patern, the fingerprint unlock doesn't work with the phone just booted.

Do not install phoenix kernel as my phone died. Doesn't charge, force reboot or connect to PC, etc.

- = Installing Project Treble ROM = -
ARM64-A/B​
Preliminary requirements:
The bootloader should be unlocked on the phone, adb+fastboot drivers should be installed on PC.
Recommendations:
1. Install Project Treble firmware with already integrated GAPPs, because there is no fully-functional TWRP for this phone yet.
2. Or after installing firmware without GAPPs use this MAGISK GAPPs installer.
From personal experience. Of all the Project Treble ROM I've tried, on the interface, settings, functionality, I liked the Octavi-OS
Instruction from installing:
1. Archive Project_Treble_Install unzip to the folder with the same name at your convenience place.
2. Download your choice of Project Treble system image archive for the ARM64-AB architecture. Unzip it into the Project_Treble_Install folder and rename it to system.img.
3. Boot the phone into bootloader mode and connect it to the PC.
4. If this is your first time installing a Project Treble system image, you need to do the following:
a) Run the executive file 0_slot_pre-check.bat to determine the active slot where the device system is located.
- 1_flash_treble_slot-a - use this executable file if the slot was detected as current-slot: a (if the system was not updated via OTA or was installed using MotoFlashPro or other similar software)
- 2_flash_treble_slot-b.bat - use this executable file if the slot was detected as current-slot: b (if the system was updated via OTA);
5. 3_flash_treble_new.bat - use this executable file if you previously installed Project Treble image and want to flash some other one.
6. The device will be rebooted to fastbootd mode during installation.
7. When the installation is finished the device will automatically boot into the system. Make all necessary settings.
8. Warning! After the initial setup, perform the necessary steps with MAGISK as described HERE
Project Treble firmware topic: XDA

Say, with real GAPPS (not microG), did you get this "Uncertified Device" error (that prevents you from logging in to GMS)?
I recall seeing that error on another device after flashing GApps on top of phh-AOSP v304, and I think the issue started to happen at that point on since I never encountered the message before. Maybe because I was not using Magisk at that time... so not sure if Magisk (pre MagiskHide drop) might be taking care of it...
I tried the guide to register my device before, but it didn't really work at that time, either because it doesn't always work, or just it does not immediately take effect, so I gave up and used NanoDroid instead (which uses microG and never had that issue, and it has working IAP).

On the ROM with integrated GAPPs all is well - device is certified.

Just checked your script. I noticed the following:
1. Looks like you provided your own vendor.img. As I'm using Edge S Pro I'm not sure if this vendor.img is applicable. Also, does VoLTE work for you? My device with the stock (unmodified) Edge S Pro vendor can't get VoLTE working correctly at the moment (you can force it active but calls will hang).
2. According to the scripts, looks like you simply cleared the previous dynamic partitions and installed your vendor as well as the user provided GSI to slot A and set it to active (with different sets of commands depending on the user's currently active slot). While there's no problem in this, I'm curious about whether there is any underlying difference between the two "slots" in the context of dynamic partitions.

I don't like it when the system wastes a lot of extra disk space on the device. If you check the dynamic partition sizes of both slots in fastbootd mode, you will understand. In essence there is no difference, but why should this unnecessary garbage eat up the disk space of a device which has no SD Card support?

Hi I have a question, How can I port the default camera ?

How do I install gapp's on A11 and with Chinese firmware version V5.17?

Hello friends!
I bought the Red Magic 3S. It has firmware from the Chinese version V5.17 and Android 11. I don't have Google play or Google Services. It also did not receive notification in most apps. I would like to know where to start, sorry for the bad english
As per "courtesy" a Senior Moderator translated your post, I encourage you to use a translator to use the English language in your later posts

Im in the same situation, installed the chinese version through system update. Updated chinese version to Android 11 V5.17. Installed TWRP with adb with bootloader and then also installed magisk through TWRP Recovery adb sideload but cannot install gapps pico it says error 70, when I googled that it means that theres not enough system storage to install gapps. I've deleted some of the original bloatware with magisk debloater and still has no space. I'm beginning to think that it is due to system being encrypted and twrp thinks theres no space to installed. Have tried removing screen lock still didn't work. Under settings security we can find were phone says encrypted I just have to figure out how yo decrypt. Maybe something nubia did to prevent us from rooting?

Try installing Google packages through the app called "HiGoPlay". You will find this app in the app center store

In my case, I still haven't done any procedure, like unlocking the bootload, twrp, root, etc. But with you it can work!

if u still need help dm me

To install Оpen GApps pico on 11 android v5.17, you need to delete the folder nubia_Browser, it is in the folder app, this browser still needs to be removed so that it does not redirect to the Chinese store, you will have 100 mb of free space and twrp will not give an error that there is not enough free space.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/opengapps/files/arm64/20220503/open_gapps-arm64-11.0-pico-20220503.zip/download
Before installing google services, you need to remove all types of locks on your phone and put one pin code lock, then when you load it into the system, Google will ask for a pin code, then fingerprints: write your own pin code, fingerprints must be skipped!
Installing gapps pico:
1. You must be root!
2. reboot into twrp-3.3.1-4-NX629J-mauronofrio
3. click: settings
4. click: reset settings
5. go: extra
6. push: explorer
7. choose: system_root
8. choose: system
9. choose: app
10. find: nubia_Browser and other programs I threw off screenshots
11. in the lower right corner, click on the folder with a checkmark
12. click on: delete button
13. flash open gapps pico from phone memory or flash drive
14. reboot into the system.
15. optional: download Browser V7.3.5.2022091518a.zip, unzip and install browser apk.
SDCARD TRANSCRIPT:
The phone must be rooted with twrp-3.3.1-4-NX629J-mauronofrio installed!
1. In TWRP clear: Dalvik/ART Cache, Cache, Data, Device Memory
2. Reboot your phone in twrp
