Welcome all, This is New Ported Recovery For Our normandy devices By me

- adjust scroll sensitivity in a huge palette
- adjust menu height in a huge palette
- adjust touch accuracy
- 30 color settings for each of the 8 GUI parts + 5 alpha transparency settings

Note: after scroll, there is a minimal small delay (0.5 sec) to validate on next touch. This is by design and not a bug. It is there to limit erroneous validation while scrolling

[DEV][02/May/2015]unOFFICIAL TWRP|v2.8.6.1

Introduction:
---------------------
Team Win Recovery Project 2.X, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. 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.
Phone look:
---------------------
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Notice:
---------------------
The attached recovery images were compiled from TWRP's open source.
They were only tested on a European version of the HTC-HD2 powered by cLK bootloader.
The performance on devices powered by MAGLDR bootloader should be considered untested.
Disclaimer:
---------------------
As usual, use at your own risk. TeamWin, arif-ali or kokotas is not responsible for anything bad that may occur from using twrp2.
Nobody appointed me to compile TWRP for HD2. I'm not TeamWin's member. It just happened...
If anyone else is willing to do it and probably do it better I will be glad to step aside,
Key Features:
---------------------
* Ability to save custom recovery settings
* 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)
* Basic file manager (copy, move, delete, and chmod any file)
* OpenRecoveryScript scripting engine
* On-screen keyboard in recovery! -- supports long press, backspace repeat, and swipe left deletes everything left of the cursor
* ADB sideload functionality from AOSP
* Pseudo-terminal emulator
* Ability to backup large partitions (size>4GB) by splitting the backup archive.

It is customizable and has touchscreen capabilities.

wow very nice new features compared to clockworkmod...
Just installed few minutes ago, as far as I can tell, it seems all is working fine!
I might have a "small" request, is it possible to map the buttons just like in cwm? I didn't like the idea of using the end button that much...

Kool... Now users will have a choice for more than one recovery on leo too... Al thanks to you cheers
And button customization would be good... I hate using the end key.. I fearing... My touch screen might get spoilt again ...

Seems to work great. I did a backup and restore and all went well thumbs up
Sent from my HTC Runnymede using XDA App

So right off the bat I'm impressed with the compression....does it allow us to produce our own zips? I'd like to rename my backups based on the rom they backed up instead of just a date/timestamp.

Nice........

Definitely a thing to look in future
Hope all the bugs are resolved soon
EDIT: - Thanked & RATED 5 STAR (All I can do as of now )

i don't understand how can i install this, becouse this is not zip file. Can you help me please

you install through adb. if you dont know what that is, do a search. there are many FAQ's about it. I would recommend doing plenty of research on it before diving right in.

if someone can do some pictures for me that would be great, as I don't have a camera, or a second phone which has a good quality camera
thanks

How's about battery charging, like clk?

optionally save space by configuring recovery to exclude /cache from backups
you can configure recovery to save even more space by excluding dalvik-cache from backups
calculates real space needed to complete a backup to save you from troubles

displays and updates your current battery level in real time
scrollable texthistory (drag down the statusbar)
built-in interactivity (yes/no questions) for updater-scripts
built-in screenshot functionality
extensive theming capabilities!
nearly ALL YOU SEE is changeable.
"worker bar": create your own custom animations, there are (nearly) no limits! Use any shapes/sizes/animations et.c.
extra low cpu needed for that: absolutely no negative impact on backup/restore speed.
async UI rendering for optimal performance for the "heavy tasks" like backup/restore
backups even faster than with usual recoveries.
.. explore the new interface to see more
includes all features of 4EXT Recovery Classic

INFO: 
For App and Rom devs:
Make use of the Recovery Interface Api provided by the (free and paid) 4EXT Recovery Apps to push updates/mods/addons for auto installation.
Very easy to use and to integrate into Apps or even shell scripts.

Official 4EXT Recovery Themes Index & Discussion Thread

Download
All downloads are available through 4EXT Recovery Updater.
It's free, no ads, no tracking, no nothing, don't worry
..and of course via 4EXT Recovery Control
This ensures that your downloads are ok by automatically verifying md5sums and that known issues and changelogs are easily accessible
When you install or download a recovery via the app it makes sure that your recovery config is correctly set up.
It allows to automatically setup your time zone for recovery.
You can use it to get notified about updates regarding your recovery version
You can configure it to get notified in case any critical bugs have been discovered of the recovery version you currently have installed.
It allows me to update known issues/changelogs immediately and to quickly pull a newly released version if there were reports about critical bugs
You can also use it to just download a recovery.zip containing the image. The download will be automatically verified for correct md5sums!

By default the app also saves the recovery.img you flash on your sdcard,
so you can use it to flash the recovery via fastboot in case you need to do that one day.
If you somehow lost those files, there's a direct download for a version you can flash via fastboot.
4EXT Recovery Control
Free version: Recovery Updater
Fully featured: Recovery Control
For a list of its many features, visit www.4ext.net
Some examples :
Very easy to use, but also includes an extensive set of features available via "advanced mode"
Comfortable configure all settings of recovery
Calculate the space needed to create a new full or advanced backup
So you can make sure the backup will succeed before even rebooting into recovery.
Advanced Backups: While you are selecting / deselecting partitions, it will display and update the currently needed space to complete that custom backup set.
Identifies and adds your romname so you don't need to type so much when chosing a meaningful name for your backup
When you restore a backup, the app does the md5sum check instead of the recovery
This ensures that you know whether the restore process will succeed before even rebooting into recovery
Flash as many zip files you want in one go
Automatically calculate and display the md5sums of all zip files you are going to flash
Check your backups' health to ensure they will restore later when you need them, by verifying their md5sums!
Optionally, but highly not recommended:
If md5sums don't match but you really need that backup badly, you might want to restore it anyway.
You can you this app to fix the md5sums of a given backup
As an example, the following is possible to do in just one session:
Restore a backup, set to create a backup / advanced backup before the restore,
format all partitions with a file system of your choice before the restore process starts,
flash additional zip files afterwards, fix permissions and select to stay inside recovery or to reboot automatically once all actions are complete.

How to make use of 4EXT Recovery Touch from within updater-scripts:
Since Beta 1.0.0.3 Beta 4 you can do the following:
identify whether the user is running 4EXT Recovery Touch or not (to use or not to use the following commands)
make use of the native yes/no dialogue (confirm / cancel buttons)
prevent recovery from redrawing the screen ( in case you need to use your own 3rd party interactive binary )

To identify 4EXT Recovery Touch:
Code:
if getprop("ext.edition") == "ng" then
<your code>
endif;
To use the native confirm dialogues:
Code:
ui_print("4ext: show_yesno"); # <-- recovery will pause your script and display "yes / no" buttons.
run_program("/sbin/sleep", "2"); # <-- for safety since the above is executed asynchronous
#check the return value by calling:
if getprop("ext.confirm") == "yes" then
<yourcode>
endif;
To prevent recovery from redrawing the screen ( if you want to use an external binary that needs to occupy the screen and get the focus )
Code:
ui_print("4ext: disable_scrn_update");
# don't forget to enable it again after your yesno binary or graphical installer is finished, by calling:
ui_print("4ext: enable_scrn_update"); #otherwise the recovery will appear to be frozen as it won't update the screen anymore.

I have the full version 4EXT. You make great job.
Thanks.

Am looking forward to checking out the hard work Just reading over the change log,have you managed to include an option for Wipe_Efs script?

Amazing!
Wow, simply amazing!! A touch based recovery. Cant believe it.
Dont really love the new Colors, but i trust you, that theming will be back soon.
Then we will have nice to control and beautiful looking recovery!
Have the paid version btw.

Awesome! Getting it right now!
---------- Post added at 03:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------
weird Recovery control didn't want to update I had to go through the my apps on the market vs the actual page for 4ext recovery control. weird, but i got it working all right!

Thank you all very much

It's already completely customizable, just not via the app yet. This will be added of course as soon as possible!
In the meantime you can change all the colours by editing the file theme.prop on your sdcard inside the folder 4ext.
There will also be complete themes shortly. I think the first ones for the display resolution of your device are already available..
Need to gather the links..

Wow max, wow. This is truly epic. Awesome work buddy

I have the paid version too

Just bought the Market version Any word about the EFS wipe integration?
Edit: just gave this a try. The UI is very intuitive and works well! If I may give one suggestion, perhaps the confirmation messages that slide down from the top could show up a bit faster.

I would actually prefer it in the wipe menu in recovery and not from within the rom app.

Thanks for the new 4EXT recovery version, absolutely love the new UI. 4EXT has been my go to recovery since it has been released. Think its time for me to make the jump to the paid version.

Thank you all soo much for that amazing feedback
Need to get some sleep now, but will answer any questions/posts tomorrow!

All I can say is "wow" this is mind blastingly awesome!

optionally save space by configuring recovery to exclude /cache from backups
you can configure recovery to save even more space by excluding dalvik-cache from backups
calculates real space needed to complete a backup to save you from troubles
detects your local time zone
-> correct time is used for backups you start from within recovery
allows you to change md5sum check behaviour
displays and updates your current battery level in real time
scrollable texthistory (drag down the statusbar)
built-in interactivity (yes/no questions) for updater-scripts
built-in screenshot functionality
extensive theming capabilities!
nearly ALL YOU SEE is changeable.
"worker bar": create your own custom animations, there are (nearly) no limits! Use any shapes/sizes/animations et.c.
extra low cpu needed for that: absolutely no negative impact on backup/restore speed.
async UI rendering for optimal performance for the "heavy tasks" like backup/restore
backups even faster than with usual recoveries.
.. explore the new interface to see more
includes all features of 4EXT Recovery Classic

INFO: 
For App and Rom devs:
Make use of the Recovery Interface Api provided by the (free and paid) 4EXT Recovery Apps to push updates/mods/addons for auto installation.
Very easy to use and to integrate into Apps or even shell scripts.
Please check 3rd post.

Download
All downloads are available through 4EXT Recovery Updater.
It's free, no ads, no tracking, no nothing, don't worry
..and of course via 4EXT Recovery Control
This ensures that your downloads are ok by automatically verifying md5sums and that known issues and changelogs are easily accessible
When you install or download a recovery via the app it makes sure that your recovery config is correctly set up.
It allows to automatically setup your time zone for recovery.
You can use it to get notified about updates regarding your recovery version
You can configure it to get notified in case any critical bugs have been discovered of the recovery version you currently have installed.
It allows me to update known issues/changelogs immediately and to quickly pull a newly released version if there were reports about critical bugs
You can also use it to just download a recovery.zip containing the image. The download will be automatically verified for correct md5sums!

By default the app also saves the recovery.img you flash on your sdcard,
so you can use it to flash the recovery via fastboot in case you need to do that one day.
If you somehow lost those files, there's a direct download for a version you can flash via fastboot.
4EXT Recovery Control
Free version: Recovery Updater
Fully featured: Recovery Control
For a list of its many features, visit www.4ext.net

PhilZ Touch 6 Guide!It is based on Koush clockworkmod 6.x to which I added many features and a full reliable touch interface
Version 5 brings mainly a true touch and scroll interface with a much more optimized and portable touch source
How to select your .android_secure path
In Custom Backup and Restore operations, you can select the target/source for android.secure or disable it
In stock backup/restore operations, include those started with ROM Manager, you can also force a target/source for .android_secure
basically, recovery will check first external storage for a .android_secure folder. If it doesn't find it, it will look in internal storage
If you want for example .android_secure to be in internal sd, just delete .android_secure folder from external sd and ensure there is a .android_secure folder in internal sd
for external sd, just ensure there is a .android_secure folder in it. It will be chosen what ever is the internal sd state
Custom Backup and Restore menu
This is one of the most powerful features of this recovery.
It is made completely open source code, built from sratch. Just keep credits headers and give proper credit if you use them
You can select which partitions you want to backup or restore
You can choose your .android_secure source and target or even disable it
You can set it to reboot directly after job is done
backups will go under the folder clockworkmod/custom_backup
TWRP backups go under stock TWRP/BACKUPS/device_id folder and will be automatically recognized by TWRP
Custom Restore Menu allows you to restore from any of the stock clockworkmod/backup folder, the custom_backup or the TWRP backups
If your backup folder was moved to /sdcard/0/clockworkmod after installing Android 4.2, you can go through the Custom Restore process. When it prompts you to browse sdcards, it should show an additional menu to offer you to browse Android 4.2 folder (/sdcard/0). The additional menu is shown only if recovery detects a /sdcard/0/clockworkmod folder on /data/media devices
efs is backed up under clockworkmod/custom_backup/.efs_backup
modem.bin files can be named any_thing.bin and must go under clockworkmod/custom_backup/.modem_bin
if you enable compression and disable md5, your backups will no more be recognized by stock cwm builds. Otherwise, all stock and custom backups are backward compatible with stock cwm (except special partitions like preload, recovery, modem and efs which stock cwm doesn't support)
Open Recovery Script Support (ORS): revised and adapted from original sk8erwitskil source
On start, recovery looks automatically for /cache/recovery/openrecoveryscript installed by goomanager or any tasker. If it finds it, it is run and phone will reboot
You can also add custom ors scripts you edit your self:
When pressing the ors menu, it will look at default locations for your custom scripts:
clockworkmod/ors first in external_sd, then in internal sd. Put your custom scripts there with file extension .ors
That way you can access your jobs (flash, wipe, backup, restore...) instantly
If no scripts are found in default folder, you get option to browse both sdcards for a custom location
To learn how to write ors scripts to automate your backup/restore/wipe/flash tasks, read here, it is very easy: http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/OpenRecoveryScript
Give Goomanager a try
All backup and restore options are supported except special partitions 1, 2 and 3 (could add modem, efs and preload linked to them later)
/preload will be included with /system if you enabled the /preload option in Misc Nandroid Settings
you have an extra here: you can set the target volume for ors backups under Misc Nandroid Settings menu
Aroma File Manager Support *Adapted from amarullz and sk8erwitskil
You get here the possibility to browse your phone with root access in a friendly GUI file browser, while being in recovery
You even now get a terminal emulator to run in recovery
Download Aroma File Manager from its Home Page
Get the 1.80 version and name the file aromafm.zip
Put the aromafm.zip in clockworkmod/.aromafm/aromafm.zip in external or internal sdcards
In recovery, tap the Aroma File Manager menu or double tap any part of the screen outside menus
It will launch the file manager automatically
Double tap gesture linked to Aroma File Manager can be altered in the GUI Settings menu
Touch GUI Preferences:
This is another unique feature of this recovery and is built from scratch
You can toggle through 4 touch modes:
Full Touch: menus are validated by touching them. I added extra checks to make it robust to validation by error while scrolling. After scrolling, your first touch will only highlight touched menu instead of validate it. If a delay of 1 sec passed, it will validate immeadiately on touch
Double Tap: menus are highlighted on first touch. To validate action, you need to double tap the same menu
Semi Touch: the classic semi-touch interface I enhanced. Menus are selected/highlighted on first touch. You can scroll by swiping up/down, but no validation on touch.
Disable Touch: touch code completely disabled. You have all gui options left, but only hardware keys
When Full Touch mode is selected, it will automatically set recommended menu height, touch accuracy and scroll sensitivity. You can alter them later if you want
Scroll sensitivity controls scrolling on swipe up/down. Lower values are the most sensitive. Adjust this based on selected menu height
Touch accuracy: increase it if your touch gestures are not well accounted for
Config files are saved in /data/philz-touch/philz-touch_5.ini file.
You can do a backup of your settings file, it will go under /sdcard/clockworkmod/philz-touch.ini.bak
You can choose to be prompted to restore your settings whenever they are wiped while you have a backup. You can also set recovery to auto-restore them when needed. This check is done when you reboot to main system from within recovery
There are many gesture actions that you can setup at your wish (some default actions are setup by default)
Long press/move is the bad equivalent to a long press gesture action: just that after one sec of touch, slightly move your finger or change the pressure surface without actually lifting it
Your screen should auto-dim automatically after one minute and turn off after 3 mn. You can change those time settings. Just touch the screen to reset brightness and turn it on
All GUI parts can be customized: menu hight, text colors, menu colors, selection colors, background color and icon, menu seprators, battery and clock, header text...
To setup a custom background image: put a png image with your device resolution in a folder clockworkmod/custom_res
You can take screen shots from recovery display by the slide left gesture (change it at your wish). Pics captures will go under clockworkmod/screen_shots folder. External storage will be always used first. If no external storage is found, internal storage is used. You can take up to 999 pics before it resets to 1
Setup Free Browse Mode and Multi-zip Installer:
Free Browse Mode:
You can setup a default folder from where the Install Zip menu will start
From within your set default folder, you can now browse backward up to the root file system to install a zip file
Multi-zip Installer menu:
Lets you select multiple zip files to flash at the same time
The zip files must go into a subfolder under: "clockworkmod/multi_flash"
At least one subfolder with your zip files must be created. You can create as many subfolders as you want
exp: clockworkmod/multi_flash/NEAT_ROM_files
Easy Log View and Pause on Logs:
In Easy Log View mode, your logs will have a smaller size to better fit the screen. This will be completely revised in upcoming v5 though
Pause on Logs: when enabled, after flashing a zip file or doing a nandroid job, you will be prompted for a key to return to menu display. That way, logs are kept in full screen. Obviously, no pause will be performed on boot scripts and multi-zip operations

---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------
One question, does this recovery support off-line charging?

Can you elaborate how to install
Kindly let me know what is fastboot.
How to open fastboot?
Sorry, I never use HTC before.

Can u make a flashable zip plzz?
Sent from my HTC D816w using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Not sure if I got it right...I tried to access the /etc directory to replace the platform.xml file, but i only found 4 files inside. I have already mounted /system before launching aroma so...am i missing anything?
Can't use TWRP cuz its not supported on my 816 (touch screen doesn't work). Mine is a single sim 4g malaysian model.
Never mind, got it to work after a few tries... lol, finally i can get camera-fv to work now.
Other than that...looks great. be careful on the touches...the go back key is way too close to the to the rest of the format options
p/s: not very sure what happened...after flashing this in, i got the tampered word in my fastboot screen. Previously with earlier versions of cwm, it only has the unlocked word. not sure what will actually trigger the tampered word.

Battery incorrect
hi ! I flashed this recovery . I find the battery number is incorrect . the number show 100% under normal boot ,but the number become 50% only when entering recovery .
If anyone know what happen ?

It says Android is upgrading and keeps rebooting,please help.

[WIP] Complete guide to Robin ★ {26 MAY}

(My thread is also available in the Nextbit Development Forum)
This thread will always be a Work In Progress. Please be patient, as we receive new development it will be posted here. Thank you very much!
Do subscribe to this thread to get notified on any new updates.
The "Complete Guide" series is back, now for the holy Nextbit Robin! (check out my profile for other "complete guide" threads for my past devices)
First things first, this guide is made mainly for our great Nextbit Robin - Ether. Some steps may or may not work for other phones...
Please note that the results of the following methods may vary. I will not be held responsible for destroying your device. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.
For increased chances of these working, ensure you're on the latest version of Robin.
If you don’t know what rooting, flashing and *explosion* means, this probably isn’t the thread for you.
Credit me if you want to take anything from this thread. DO NOT create duplicates of such threads.
Enjoy!
Complete guide to all things Robin:
NOTE: The chapters are in chronological order, meaning everything after Chapter 2 assumes you already have root and unlock.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHAPTER 0: TERMINOLOGY (in my own words)
- Terms
- Tidbit
(To be honest, if you need to even look at this, this thread isn't for you.)
- Root: Gaining full administrative control of your device. "Jailbreaking" in terms of Android.
- ROM: The customized operating system that your Android runs on.
- Kernel: The thingy that links software and hardware
- Radio: The thingy that sends and receives messages, calls and data.
- Flash: Installing a zipped file in Recovery Mode
- Recovery: The software that allows tweaking and flashing, and other weird stuff that will destroy your phone.
- Fastboot: The thingy that allows recovery mode to happen.
- Brick: The term says it all.
- Bootloader: Quite literal; loads the phone for bootup.
- Nandroid backup: A backup-ed image of your current system
- ADB: Android Debug Bridge; some command line tool that sends information from and to the phone to, and from the computer
- CWM: ClockWorkMod; a recovery system
- XDA: The holy website that is full of weird stuff that makes your phone wayyyy better.
Now let's paint a picture:
Imagine you are your Android phone.
Before "rooting", you are trapped in jail.
Upon "rooting and unlocking", you are released from jail.
You go to a shopping mall named "XDA".
You find a credit card lying on the floor from the company "Recovery". On the back, it says there is no passcode required, and there is a infinite amount of money inside.
You enter a store and get a sweatshirt with the word "ROM" on it.
You didn't buy the shirt, the shirt just happens to be free, but still requires you to swipe your credit card anyways.
You keep the receipt as a "backup", just in case the shirt spoils.
Just then, you get greedy and get all the badges in the store.
Stupidly, you pin all the badges on your shirt, turning it as heavy as a "brick".
Then, the shirt rips, unable to put (it rhymes with boot) it back together again.
Luckily you still have the receipt to return the shirt, and return back to your good old disgusting shirt.

---------------------------------------------------------
CHAPTER 2: ESSENTIALS
- Backup
- Root
- Unlock
- TWRP
- Flashing
- Restoring backups
BACKUP:
Titanium Backup Method:
Use “Titanium Backup” batch backup
1. Menu -> Batch
2. Run -> Backup user apps + system data
OR:
Manual Non-Root Method:
- Messages: “SMS Backup & Restore”
- Contacts: should be synced with the cloud, if not: Export to SIM card
- Calendar: should be synced with the cloud
- Notes: use “Google Keep”, it will be synced with the cloud
- User Dictionary: “User Dictionary Backup”
- Call Logs: “Call Logs Backup & Restore”
- Launcher (assuming you use Nova Launcher): Settings -> Backup & import settings -> Restore or manage backups
- Apps: “Helium” or any other app
- Nandroid Backup
store all backups in internal storage and transfer to your computer
ROOT + UNLOCK + TWRP RECOVERY:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nextbit-robin/development/tool-robin-toolkit-v1-0-root-twrp-t3375908
(kudos to @daavm)
1. Download the tool
2. Just follow the instructions
**NOTE: Relocking again will result in data wipe**
FLASHING:
Clean Flash:
1. Backup your data!
2. Reboot into TWRP Recovery
3. Go into settings and enable “Use Aroma File Manager”
4. Wipe Dalvik, Cache, System & Data
5. Flash your chosen ROM, basebands, firmware updates and other crap
6. Flash any GApps package. (the one I use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/gapps-lp-gapps-pa-gapps-aroma-installer-t3010798; kudos to @raulx222 & @slim Team)
7. Flash anything else (e.g. frameworks, boot animations, splash screens, themes etc.)
8. Reboot
9. DONE!
OR:
Dirty Flash: (flashing without wiping anything, used for updating to newer ROMs or reflashing)
1. Reboot into TWRP Recovery
2. ONLY wipe Dalvik Cache
3. Flash your chosen ROM, basebands, firmware updates and other crap
4. Flash any NEWER GApps package. If you manually installed/updated through Play Store, skip this step.
5. Flash anything else (e.g. frameworks, boot animations, splash screens, themes etc.)
6. Reboot
7. DONE!
It is perfectly fine if the first bootup takes a while, that is perfectly normal. Upon boot, Android will optimize itself so just let it do it’s work. Do put the phone under a fan as it does tend to get hot when optimizing since it is at max brightness or some dumb reason.
If it takes ages (like over 10mins) to boot up, it means you might have bricked your phone! Do source the XDA indices for any unbricking tutorial, or keep a lookout for an update on this page for instructions. (I don’t have any/don’t need to find any as I have never bricked any Android, so ya.)

DO NOT dirty flash if your newer ROM:
- Doesn't allow/support it
- Has a major update
- Has a Android version or firmware jump (e.g. from Lollipop to M)
- Is a totally different ROM from the previous one (e.g. from Stock to Cyanogenmod)
If after dirty flashing you experience any ROM issues (e.g. battery drain, lag etc.), I would advice you to do a clean flash instead.

6. Launcher Settings: (assuming you use Nova Launcher) Settings -> Backup & import settings -> Restore or manage backups
**What can I manually restore?**
Red: DO NOT RESTORE, YOU’LL END UP BRICKING/BOOTLOOPING YOUR PHONE!!!
White: 99% safe, go ahead
Green: 70% safe, beware of potential brick
Grey Stirkethrough: DO NOT RESTORE

Honestly, I don't encourage battery managers such as "Battery Doctor" or "Clean Master (Speed Booster)" as realistically, it takes up more battery or RAM in trying to keep the app open to "properly manage the battery". Yes there are benefits such a having a zippier G3, but there are better methods out there.

CHAPTER 8: ADDITIONAL INFO
- Device Architecture
Architecture: arm64 + arm
Screen DPI: 480
Drawable Class: xxhdpi (extra extra high density)
Google Play services - Build Suffix: (-448)
How does this affect me?
Well, when you install apps, downloading the correct arch version means the app is better optimised for our phone (and you'll potentially save some internal storage space too!)
As for Google Play services, you MUST install the correct build version. (Example: v9.0.90 (448-xxxxxxxx) )

@Lousyguyy : Thanks for this - it was about time there was a dev index for the Robin.
Just a couple of points to note in your OP:
Also note that these steps WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Except it doesn't! Nextbit have explicitly stated that rooting your phone or loading a custom ROM etc will NOT void the warranty.
For increased chances of these working, update your KDZ to Lollipop first using OTA or Flash Tool.
