[WIP] Philz Touch Recovery for Argon (Nokia 8110 4G)

[Huy Minh Bui]

In case you don't know what is Philz Touch Recovery : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860

Having lots of free time today so I decide to create Philz Touch Recovery, an good old recovery that support both touch and hardware buttons :)

The reason want to make this recovery is that there are people on XDA said that Philz can still install Android 6.0 roms, so I think with we can use it to flash roms for this banana :)

And also because of this : https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/issues/1485 (kinda sad that they don't support hardware-buttons anymore :(  )

After compile and test I see lots of potential, more than TWRP :D

* What's work :

- It's boot :P

- Controlable using up and down key like stock recovery (and it may receive every buttons because when I see a "Press any key to continue" message, I press the middle button and it's close)

- Clock works (may need to change timezone in Recovry Settings)

- Change the wallpaper (Now I need a Matrix wallpaper lmao)

* What's not :

- No partitions is mounted even recovery (I noticed that the recovery.fstab files using /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/ path but only sdcard using /dev/block/ path and it's the only partition that is mounted so I'll change and test it tomorrow)

- Cannot change brightness (there is a file called brightness somewhere in the /sys/main, please help me find it, Thanks in advance)

- The font is way too big (you can change it in recovery setting but that still big, I see that the config file is in data/philz-touch/philz-touch-6.ini, Maybe we can pull to edit and push it back using adb )

- Battery is showing the right value in a minute and then go to 0% (anyone know this error please help me)

Here is the device tree in case you guys want to contribute or compile: https://github.com/hmtheboy154/android_device_nokia_Argon 

Download link will added soon as long as the partition problem is fixed

More screenshot will be added too

Good news, there are 2 things I fixed this morning is the partition mounting and brightness (Changing brightness is soooo good)

I tested wiping and flashing v12repair zip and it's work so the recovery is usable now 

However, aside from big font and battery issue I also see that when flashing zip there will be a Android logo blocking the text until the zip is flashed (dk if this is a bug, but can we replace it with KaiOS OTA screen ?)

Feel free to flash and experience :)

Yay! Have you tested Android on the 8110 yet?

You are a star mate tested this with backup restore and now I can backup my complete system including data looking forward to next version with smaller fonts thanks again

[Huy Minh Bui]

Nah I don't think I will port Android, Kai is enough

Maybe one day Google offically support Android for feature phone (again) and custom roms devs like LineageOS port it I will look into it. But for now KaiOS is enough

Glad you like it :D

btw you can change the font smaller for a bit by go to Recovery Setting => GUI Preferences, and look at "Men XX" I guess that is the Menu font size. Change that for a better experience

Okay, that's cool :D

[Huy Minh Bui]

I think that clock is having problem. Maybe it can't sync the time properly

btw I found out that Philz can take screenshot.

Moreover, you can change theme in Philz 

[ProgrammAbel]

Philz is my new default recovery :D

[Bittu Swarup]

Can you post any pic or vid that how is the new recovery looks like. Plz

[ProgrammAbel]

try it yourself! you can just flash it over, and if you don't like it you can just reboot and it will restore to normal :D

[Peter Knight]

I have used this recovery and its great
Anyone managed to change font size yet

[Peter Knight]

Just a quick note guys I have gerdaos installed and I have all apps and the phone exactly as I want it so I took one for the team and did a backup and wipe and restore with philz recovery and it works fine

The only trouble is the menu system with large fonts is hard to nogociate

[Huy Minh Bui]

New version is coming :D

[Peter Knight]

Wow looks amazing can't wait thank you

[ProgrammAbel]

if its on github, ill just compile it myself :P

[Huy Minh Bui]

Small update : Fixed the big font by using roboto10x18 font, everything í quite readable now but for better experience you should go to Recovery Settings => GUI Preferences => Change the Menu height to lowest (22) and disable Touch UI. Bonus, you can see there is a zip called Aromafm. That is the zip for Aroma File Manager in Advanced function. Create a folder called "aromafm" under clockworkmod and copy the file in

So now the only thing need to fix is clock, battery and that big Android, should I fix it ?

Very good. Last time I use Philz on Lenovo A319 with Android 4.4. I think the bigger problem is not big font in Philz, but the small font in Aroma. Anyway, is still very good.

[apatrahil]

Prevent overwrite of stock recovery - install Philz, load Philz (reboot recovery), start adb shell and rename /system/bin/install-recovery.sh (mv /system/bin/install-recovery.sh /system/bin/install-recovery.sh.backup). Tested with Philz on v16/1048.

[Huy Minh Bui]

Hmmmmmmmm
I thought Philz have a feature that prevent replacing stock recovery ???
