It goes to sleep just like when you are in system. Press power button to wake it. If it's bothering you can disable sleeping as well in recovery settings.

OK, for now you can disable the screen timeout completely. The bug isn't on my part and out of my scope, seems to be some incompatibility with mediatek framebuffer and this recovery. Google is open sourcing all the stuff slowly so things might take time to stabilize and be compatible with this new platform.

Flashed it and using it.. Till now no bug. Thanks for this recovery

 

[jaskiratsingh]

This is a great. Phil's recovery available for us. Great work Varun.
@all: Can you clarify my queries. I have been using samsung and new to bootloader stuff.

1. When you unlock bootloader, does it notify of updated pushed by Google?
2. Does unlocked bootloader shows a tampering icon, samsung devices does?

Thanks

1. There isn't any change to the ability to receive updates.

2. No tampering icon. The bootloader splash screen will show the text "=> OEM unlocked" in white at the lower left of the display.

Hi, I did not find any issue with it.. I can wake it up by simply pressing power button once.. Did it more than 5 times..

BUG - this recovery doesn't format SD ext even if it is present and thus skips the formatting of sd-ext

whenever it goes to sleep it does not lite up on a touch or pressing any button but we have to do it repeatedly till it wakes up

This is the best recovery available for Android One devices...
Have backed up the stock rom in Karbon Sparkle V before flashing Cyanogen.
Would love to see further development of this recovery...

Yes,this recovery works on all three android one devices.Infact all threads in this section are compatible with the three devices

hi.
i managed to backup my entire rom.
without rooting or unlocking the boot loader.
and the only bug i found with this recovery is that once the device enters into sleep mode there is no way to wake it up i had to disible screen timeout but rest all works properly.
now my last question for now.
in my backup folder there are files like.
.android_secure.vfat.tar, .android_secure.vfat.tar.a, boot.img, cache.ext4.tar, cache.ext4.tar.a, data.ext4.tar, data.ext4.tar.a, data.ext4.tar.b, nandroid.md5, recovery.img, recovery.log, system.ext4.tar and system.ext4.tar.a
1. has it backuped all the partitions?
2. why do some files have .a and .b extensions is this normal?
3. what is the process of restoring the backup?
4. thanks a lot for making this recovery
