Anyone tried the new Clockworkmod Recovery 5.0.0.1 ? I just flashed it and tried to reboot into recovery via Rom Manager, but got stuck at the "X" boot screen. Pulled the battery, restarted the phone and flashed back to 3.0.0.5.

No problems so far with CMW 5.0.0.1. I've flashed already the latest Nightly with it successfully.

Are you using Go SMS (version 3.65 or 3.66)? If so, roll back to 3.64.

Yes and how do I roll back to 3.64?

I flashed 5.0.0.1 again and this time I could reboot into recovery without a problem. Very odd, but a least it's working now.

S2E worked the second time I tried it.  The trick with the Import function seems to be not to touch anything else.  I opened the app, went to Settings, did the import, came straight out & rebooted.  Reflashed the nightly & kernel then booted.  Some apps were missing after boot, they eventually reappeared but I'm not sure if that was because they were re-synched.  Phone also seems slower after a reboot now than it did before.  Also, internal memory usage has dropped drastically from >110mb to ~10mb.  I didn't request moving of /data specifically the second time, but it looks as if it did it anyway, but this time it didn't delete everything else on the FAT partition.  Phone also seems slower now after a reboot during that "cooking" phase, after you get the home screen but before it's fully finished.  I'm not sure why this should be the case.

My conclusion: it's a bit flaky, but it works.

CMW 5.0.0.1 seems to work here. Does anybody know what's new?

Yes, but does it restore a backup correctly, with sd-ext? That was broken with CWM 3.
I've had some problems this morning, with some stuff not backed up correctly. I'll try again.

Haven't tested with sd-ext 'til now. Please let me know your experiences ;-)

Successfully installe 176 after a full wipe with CWM 5 but I'm having some problems. The home and search button give feed bac but do nothing and some notifications don't seem to wrok...

I restored all my settings from Titanium backup, could that be the problem?

I am wondering if it is sluggish because you did the import function, but if your data is stored on there, the OS will feel slower since pretty much everything needs go through the sdcard (which isn't as fast as internal memory).

I didn't notice a difference at all between the two (other than I like S2E much more than DTa2sd...

With 5.0.0.1, selecting "Backup current ROM" in ROM Manager results in an error.
There already is an update of CWM, to 5.0.0.8. Playing with that now.

Update: Restore doesn't work with 5.0.0.8. The same errors I had this morning with 5.0.0.1:
1. .android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure.
2. Error while restoring /sd-ext!

So, back to 2.5.1.1.

Also, CWM 2.5.1.1 can't restore backups made with CWM 5. CWM 2.5.1.1 says "system.img not found, data.img not found, .android_secure.img not found, cache.img not found, sd-ext.img not found"...
I made a backup before installing CWM 5, and restored that with CWM 2.5.1.1, but not before reformatting sd-ext (that's why I have a Linux box nearby...)
And for good measure, I tried using CWM 5 to restore the backup made with CWM 2.5.1.1, and that also corrupted the sd-ext.
I am using ext4 on the sd-ext partition.

If you look at the backups, the filenames are quite different from the past/current nandroid filenames. - it includes the mount type appended to the filenames.

Ahh, ok. That explains why the older CWM didn't find them.
There is yet another CWM update, 5.0.1.0. I'm probably going to try that out tonight. Maybe it fixes the issues...

Update: Still not working with CWM 5.0.1.0. Not ready for prime time yet.
I still get "Error while restoring /sd-ext!"
Running fsck on the ext4 sd-ext partition shows tons of errors.
At least the .android_secure error is gone.

Hi, I've been running nightlies for quite some time now, but recently I've stumbled upon a big problem.
Many of us have been bugged by the WiFi dropping a lot during the last 30 something builds (if I remember correctly), but after I installed 175 my WiFi won't register any network at all anymore. It can't find them.

I've tried to downgrade to 7.0.3, 7.1.0 and other nightlies. Nothing has worked. My phone can still not register WiFi networks.
I've made sure to wipe the Dalvik cache and data when I've installed other versions. Still, this has not resolved my WiFi issues.

Has anyone else experienced this problem, and does anyone have an idea as to how I can fix it?

I had the EXACT same problem, but I lucked into a fix. To get WIFI working, enable tethering and connect to it from a computer. Then disable tethering--suddenly access points will show up again. Weird bug--so glad I stumbled on the fix relatively quickly. Let me know if this works for you!

I'm having trouble with vertically oriented videos. The camera app orients itself to show that I'm recording vertically, and when I play them on the phone, they appear correctly oriented. But when I copy them to my computer and play them (ubuntu, totem player), or share them to youtube, they are rotated sideways.

I don't update my nightly very often, so all I know is that this changed between build 136 (worked correctly for youtube sharing) and 175 (incorrect orientation).

Sample with incorrect orientation: [redacted, as it horribly appeared inline]   I can provide the file from the phone, if it's of interest to anyone.

-- news:

Hmm. Guess I spoke too soon; I just installed build 177 and tried again. The problem has been fixed (or it is intermittent or more subtle).

Where can I see the list of patches for each nightly build? I assume that the builds are tagged in git, so I can probably check somewhere on https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android ? Hmm, maybe that's just for stable releases, as I'm not seeing commits newer than 2011-09-blah.

You can always check the patches of each nightly via this changelog: http://cm-nightlies....?device=passion

I came to the same conclusion, the sluggishness was due to /data being mounted on the sd card.  What I don't understand is why it did that, since with DT I had /data on internal.  I couldn't find any way with S2E to NOT have /data on the sd card since I wasn't prepared to reinstall everything.

Tried CWM 5.0.2.0 this morning, still no dice.
Restoring a backup still fails on sd-ext, ext4.
Same error as before:
"Error while restoring /sd-ext!"
