Not sure, haven't read up on it yet. Just flashed, I think it means you have a choice in partition sizes now, but not sure.

Yeah, really nice. When you hit one of the menus it goes to the sub menus. Not nearly as cluttered looking as 1.2.3. Going to have a cyan update tomorrow too, 4.2.5.

If you have the latest cyan you can enable compcache from spare parts. If you have user.conf or userinit.sh on your sd card either rename them or delete them after you select compcache from spare parts. Reboot and your golden. You can run this from the su console to see your compression.
su (enter)
rzscontrol /dev/block/ramzswap0 -s (enter)

Hey Guys,
I just downloaded and installed. It looks great. Nice. Clean.

I do have one question. Do you know what wipe I should do to do a factor reset wipe? (What alt+W does on the original and cyans)

Thanks,

Question... Went to install through console and it says that there is no such file or directory after typing: mount -a. Checked the sd card in phone settings and the unmount and format are greyed out. I can get to the sd card from everywhere else, Astro and through the computer. Phone appears to be working fine. Do I need to redo my sd card?

Did you unmount your card? I forgot the 1st time and that was what I got. Also you need to type su (enter) first, I know it says you don't, but you do.

Nope. Did things as usual, including su. May just back things up and start over. I've been wondering if my card is going bad.

Guess I should have said that I didn't unmount in the sd settings, and yes unmount from usb.

[ahahemnab]

This is what I am getting from adb:

mount -a
mount: mounting /system/modules/modules.sqf on /system/modules failed: No such f
ile or directory
mount: mounting /system/xbin/xbin.sqf on /system/xbin failed: No such file or di
rectory

Ignore the mount -a cmd. Just enter flash_image recovery part

That worked. Thanks. Got any idea about the sd card problem in settings?

[ggrant3876]

New update, refer to post #1.

[cmbarry1]

When it says in the XDA thread don't use the recovery command from console use reboot does that mean no "reboot recovery"? or does it mean no "recovery" command alone?

[paul roberts]

it means


via console
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-dream-v1.3.2.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
select console from the menu
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.3.2.img
#reboot

the phone will reboot

Another new one. 1.3.2 Changelog in 1st post.

[embrace LB]

ggrant, what exactly does he mean by this "ALWAYS check the md5sum to make sure the zip isn't corrupted." &how would i go about checking? i never quite understood what that was for.

This is what I know, but as you I don't know how to check it, maybe someone more knowlegable than me will chime in. This is not mine I found it. It includes an advanced MD5 hash check, so you can be sure to obtain the original file ... and a hash check, so you can check your files to be sure that are not corrupted.

[embrace LB]

Alright, well thanks. I believe i know as much as you do or at least is on the same page, I did a few searches & read up on it a little but I'm still curious as to how to check for the corrupted file. Hopefully someone who knows a bit more can further explain.

I noticed Amon Ra's ss' are a from his 1.3.1 update but he's now at 1.3.2 & i dont think he's updated his screen shots, i was wondering why there wasn't some options showing on his screen shots that he had listed, such as Wipe data + cache (factory reset) but it most likely is there. He just hasn't updated the ss'. I just want to find out a bit more before I update from 1.2.3 to 1.3.2.

But thanks for the thread find & post!

I know the phone will reboot using that command but are we never supposed to use the reboot recovery command when in console or just after the flash of the new .img?

oh alright thanks, see the only thing that worries me about having these SUB MENU's is you don't know how far to go until you actually apply an option. But then again you will be briefed whether or not you want to continue or abort so it does have safety precaution or a "confirmation" as i should say. With "HOME" to confirm or "any button" to abort. I'm trying to figure out if having a sub-menu is worth it or not.

Q: how do you access this option? screen shot below.

Go to the console and type utility, it was made especially for the phones without a keyboard.
