Project Open Cannibal presents...
Cannibal Open Touch v2.1 for LG Optimus V​
About Cannibal Open Touch:
Cannibal Open Touch is the next generation of custom recoveries. Jam-packed with cool and useful features, it can handle just about anything you can throw at it.
Main Features:
1. Support for both Edify and Amend scripting (flash all ROMS!)
2. Theme support
3. Get out of recovery boot loops
4. Touch screen button controls!
5. Compatibility with Xionia nandroid backups (if on LG Optimus device)
6. GooManager support!
7. Internal e2fsprogs for size
8. Backported “retouch binaries” patch for ICS/JB compatibility
9. Advanced Backup
10. Delete old backups!
11. Persistent settings
12. User-defined backup locations!
13. ADB Sideload
14. Touchscreen calibration
Why the name Cannibal Open Touch?
Because we can. The name also embodies everything that Cannibal Open Touch is. It is no longer just a variant of ClockworkMod Recovery, it is it's own recovery by itself. Combining features from ClockworkMod 5, Team UtterChaos' Sony Xperia recovery, AmonRa 3.0.6, Xionia CWMA and a heaping helping of our own special enhancements it is truly revolutionary.
What to do when an error occurs:
DO NOT simply say "xxxx doesn't work" as that is highly unhelpful and will probably be ignored. Instead, post the recovery log! To grab a log when an error occurs, simply open a terminal (or command prompt if on Windows), "cd" to an easily accessible directory and execute:
Code:
adb pull /tmp/recovery.log
Paste the log as an attachment (don't paste the text inside, as it can be quite lengthy), or paste it on pastebin.com.
WARNING!
If you are upgrading from a previous version of Cannibal Open Touch you must delete the settings.ini file located in the cotrecovery folder on your sdcard!
Flashing instructions:
1. Follow these instructions (external link) for installing flash_image if you haven't already done so.
2. Make sure USB Debugging is ON and that you have ADB access
3. Download the Cannibal Open Touch image from the download link below.
4. Place the recovery image on your SD Card.
5. Fire up an ADB shell
6. Make sure you are in a root shell. If you are not, execute the "su" command now.
7. Execute "flash_image recovery /path/to/recovery.img" (replace /path/to/recovery.img with the ACTUAL path to the recovery image)
8. Reboot to recovery mode
9. PROFIT!
Already have a custom recovery?
1. Download the ZIP installer from the download link below
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Flash the ZIP installer as you would a ROM or Kernel (that is, flash it from recovery)
4. PROFIT!

Awesome! An update for the V, so unexpected. This project was a huge success!

Ok. This is very impressive. Should post your installer zip file as well. Very polished

Big plus having a zip. This will benifit those that manage to get themselves into a recovery loop, but don't what to revert to Xionia (which really only works best with Froyo ROMs).

I like the look of this recovery and I was wondering how I'd go about porting it. I have the One V and I noticed you have a topic on your forums for the One V but nothing posted on it.
Cheers, worldindo1.

Apologies for my lateness in responding. I would be more than willing to test it out if you want. If you shoot me a copy I could test it and get back to you on how everything works.

This should work w/ Vortex, correct?

This has only been tested on the Optimus V, I would be very careful about checking the board settings for the VM670 vs the Vortex before trying to flash this recovery. I honestly don't know if it will work without looking into the Vortex a bit.

Can this be flashed using the Flash Image GUI app by joeykrim? Thanks.

there's a little-known trick, you can retain your existing recovery while testing another, but you'll lose your ROM boot.
You can
Code:
flash_image boot recovery.img
since they're the same type of compressed image. I've done it on the V and had others do it on the S. When you use the recovery to flash a ROM it overwrites the boot-img recovery you just installed. It's a regular power on to get into the boot-img version of a recovery, and you can use the key combo to boot into your working recovery after testing it.
Beware, though. Incompatible kernels may mess up your device good. I deliberately flashed a p500 kernel to my V, it locked up nastily, and it wouldn't power on without rebooting for hours after reflashing a usable kernel. for days, I couldn't overclock, and it always seemed weaker after that.

flash image gui works fine on the optimus v, and shouldn't have any issues with this recovery.

As the link is dead and could not access, I found this working and put to who need this recovery. My friend KF have problem with touch screen, some part had not response to touch. so the TWRP could not slide to recovery. I hope this work

Can anyone running this rom tell me a little about their experience with it?
I've been waiting for v1 before i gave it a spin, but it seems as if it's taking forever for that to become a reality. I use/need my phone for work, so I try to pick/choose when and what I flash - I don't have the time to try multiple roms daily. I usually follow threads from multiple roms and dive into those that seem stable n' all but this topic is relatively quiet.
I don't need a million customizations in a rom. Just something fast, smooth. and stable with great battery life. I appreciate anyone who can take the time to share their experience so far with the current build of this rom.
Thanks

[RECOVERY]TWRP BETA 1

Hello There!
I am here with a good news and a bad news!
The good news is that I have sucessfully compiled TWRP recovery for our beloved Xperia M!
The bad news is that It is unstable, and I am not able to make it stable. I need help from some developers in order to make it stable.
Please note that this kernel bringup is only for CM11 FXP310.So, dont try it on other ROMs, as your may get into a serious problem after that.
Please bear with me, as I am a noob and will need a lot of help in making this stable for use!

Thank You soo much Will compile and post in an hour or so! Got to do something else at the moment
Tried.. But they didnt help :/ Same bugs!

Finally, TWRP! Thanks!
About problems with Wi-Fi and RIL – yes, it's really due compiling kernel on your side.
I extracted from your boot.img ramdisk-recovery.cpio and replaced it in kernel from latest FXP310 build – all fine.
So maybe you do the same in future for avoiding problems?
Recovery bundled in boot.img so recovery.img can't be flashed with saving current kernel.
I think better to post ramdisk-recovery.cpio so users can combine it with needed in their case kernel: stock, modded or whatever.
Here easy tutorial and tool for do these on Windows. Almost same for Linux.
Bugs:
– no mount of any partitions
– screen most time halved
– at screen timeout it don't off

Best Recovery Shown up!
TWRP just the best recovery ever... my fav.
hope this can be fixed soon... thanks for the good job

Thanks for fixing mounts and hiding screens.
About first post.
1. There no any mention except filename of zip that kernel only for CM11 FXP310. Someone can flash it on stock and get unexpected problems.
2. Imho better remove obsolete yesterday versions because they non-functional and buggy. Just for keep all clean.
3. Direct recovery screenshots here.
BTW, in what format you planned post new versions in future: ramdisk-recovery.cpio or boot.img for CM11?
I need to know because have idea to modify repacking tool to automatically integrate your TWRP in any kernel.

If I will be compiling again, then it would be in any form. You say. Which one is better? I think for people's use, its better to release in boot.img form. Or else, I will do one thing..
I will release it in both the forms.
P.S I will be updating the OP soon. In an hour or so.
And, will you become my tester? I will send you links to build through PM. I am trying to compile omni at the moment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why isn't there XXXXXXX feature.
A: Shoot us a Suggestion if you want to see something added. While we are not going to promise to implement, we will always look into it
Q: But CM and all the others have..
A: ROM developers, including CM, build something they want to use. The ROM dev that includes something they won't run implies less than 100% effort to ensure it does work. As a team, we have similar goals and objectives. If XYZ ROM has a feature you want, and we don't (or don't want), feel free to use XYZ ROM, or build your own custom version of Octo-Kat

A Note about the Team OctOs GApps
We in Team OctOs believe in choices. We believe in leaving the fundamental decisions about your phone to you.

Same as reboot recovery after wiping then install. 0 issues either way

I believe those 2 issues are known and currently being looked at, I think the gapps download option will be removed in the near future.

The Download GApps is part of the new (yet to be working) OTA system. Yes, it'll FC for now
We've had reports of Forward/Reverse lookup in the dialer also not working, this appears to have started with the jump to 4.4.4 - We are looking into it. Thank you for the reports!

Just wanted to welcome our new users and am glad we can offer you our ROM. Enjoy!

Maybe I did something wrong not sure, at first I was hesitant cause I use philz recovery, & op in red letters says only use twrp, anyway, I flashed twrp image, full wipe in twtp & flashed rom, gapps, rebooted & started to set up. I looked inside the zip before I flashed to see if theme chooser was there, it was. But once the rom booted up & I started setting up, no theme chooser. I could see it if I went to settings, apps, all. What gives? Any ideas.

Between G+, FB, and Twitter, we do recommend picking at one (G+ being the favorite). We just don't have the raw time to keep every thread opened posted to, unfortunately.

I could make recovery installers but m lazy to do so you can take the recovery out of the tar ball and flash it with heimdall if you are using linux

Thanks, I've a Windows but the USB is a little unstable...

I have to say, this is very good, still concerned that it is an unsupported recovery now, though I did see that Philz updated sources today with a fixed lib file. Good work @mythi. Are you going to update this or does it matter?

Should be fixed on next release but m not facing issues with it anyway .. Twrp is gonna be updated to latest version too

@Pkt_Lnt the latest version doesn't boot no matter what i do , the libguitouch.a is a binary file which cannot be edited easily atleast through hex-editing , i will look on to some help but i don't gurntee it booting as Mr Philz dropped the support :crying:

Why would he post the fact that it needs fixed and the fix in that thread then? I know he stopped support due to work, but then he must feel it important enough to post about it?

Hi guys. Does anyone know if backup and restore works on 4.4.2 kitkat with this recovery?

I'll answer my own question. Yes it does, as I did a restore from my backup last night making it, imho the best recovery for our device.

CWM is very outdated, brain dead (it will kill root on zip flashes) and unsupported. Philz is a better choice if you like that kind of recovery, but it is abandoned as well. TWRP is a better choice if you grab the one from the Multi-ROM thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...mod-multirom-v30-multirom-twrp-i9295-t2962492

philz touch builds are currently broken on cm12 so there isnt much todo on cm12 , will see if its same on cm11

Am i the only one with following problem?
When i turn off the phone and plug in the power cable, the Stock charging animation appears but its freezed. After 15 seconds a smaler charging animation appears. Next thing is: During this, i cant use the power button to power on the phone. The phone restarts, but it will go back into the charging animation. I must unplug the power cable to boot the phone into android.
I think this is a problem of CWM/PhilZ ?!
PhilZ Touch 6.57.9 CWM 6.0.5.1 with CM12 official nightly.
