CyanogenMod 14.1 [BETA-2] - Custom ROM Samsung Galaxy V SM-G313HZ

Hey hey hey, CyanogenMod 14.1 (CM14.1) ROM is arrived on Samsung Galaxy V SM-G313HZ! As we know, the latest stable Android version now is Android 7.1 Nougat, and this ROM use it.

Again, CyanogenMod 14.1 or CM14.1 Custom ROM for Samsung Galaxy V SM-G313HZ is still developed by the same developer who brought us the previous CyanogenMod ROM series for Samsung Galaxy V (check more on ROM info below). Big applause and unlimited credits to them.

Anyway, As my experience when using it CyanogenMod 14.1 ROM is something that will not give us high performance or fast as lightning or super smooth on our Samsung Galaxy V SM-G313HZ single core phone, with 512 MB RAM. If you want to increase the performance, you have to use your brain like disable the animation, don't install the Gapps, etc.

But this ROM provide our little Android phone the latest Android 7.1 Nougat, so we lucky to get experience the Android 7.1 Nougat Operating System on this single core Android phone. Believe me, there are many Android smartphone with better specs out there that not so lucky like Samsung Galaxy V yet.

Getux for CM11 ROM Custom Kernel Samsung Galaxy V SM-G313HZ

Allright, now I will share about custom kernel for Samsung Galaxy V SM-G313HZ called Getux Kernel. For your info, "Getux" is a name of Indonesian food :D . This custom kernel is created for Samsung Galaxy V running CyanogenMod 11 ROM (CM11). So do not try this on other ROM, except you are a true hacker :v . This kernel is created by cleverior.ipul@XDA.

Actually I do not have intend to install a custom kernel before. But recently I need to switch my Samsung Galaxy V SM-G313HZ ROM into the one running Android KitKat because I want to play Final Fantasy IV (FFIV) Android game (Some Square Enix games cannot run on Android Lollipop and up, and one of them is FFIV). Well the stock ROM is sucks :v , so I prefer to go back with CyanogenMod 11 ROM.

But the developer is removed the third final release of CM11 ROM because some bugs. Then I go with the second final release of course, and guess what? It cannot boot up. Luckily I got some qlues by guys there that we can fix it by installing another custom kernel. I had a traumatic with OC kernel as it overclocked to 1.4 GHz (my Samsung Galaxy V SM-G313HZ Android phone cannot handle so high CPU clock speed as make it cannot boot up). Then I choose the Getux Kernel and voila! Finally it can boot :D .

  • The standard feature of CM11 stock kernel.
  • Added 600 MHz CPU clock speed.

v. k1.1

  • Re-compiled kernel with Sabermod 4.9.x toolchain
  • (NEW!) Changed zRAM compressor to LZ4 (faster than LZO)
  • Triple-zRAMs (more crazy multitasking)
  • Added new IO scheduler : ROW, FIOPS, SIOPLUS, BFQ, ZEN
  • Added new governor : INTERACTIVE
  • (NEW!) Overclock increased to 1,3GHz
  • Disabled zCache, enabled zswap and enable LZ4 zswap compression
  • LZ4 compression to kernel

How to install Getux Kernel on Samsung Galaxy V SM-G313HZ running CyanogenMod 11 ROM (CM11)


  1. It is recommended to install it on fresh CM11 ROM installment (install it just after the rom is done installed).
  2. Just go to recovery mode and install the zip file of Getux Kernel you just downloaded.
  3. After the Getux Kernel is finish installed, wipe dalvik cache.
  4. Reboot your Android phone!

Getux Kernel v. k1.1 notes


There is one update I must underlining it on Getux Kernel v. k1.1, it is that the CPU speed frequency has been overclocked into 1.3 GHz by default. This will bring more performance on this Android phone of course, especially when playing games. But if your Samsung Galaxy V Android phone cannot handle it, it will cause you random reboot.

To set to normal CPU clock speed, we can set it through system settings:
  1. Open the Developer Options. Go to "Settings" -> "About Phone", tap about 7-10 times rapidly on "Build number" section. There should be a toast message "You have enable developer option".
  2. Go back to "Settings" main menu, it should appear "Performance" option now, select it.
  3. Select "Processor" -> "Maximum CPU frequency", and set it to "1.2 GHz".
  4. Do not forget to check the "Set on boot" option.

To activate init.d, type "getuxmagic" (without quotes) in Terminal Emulator app.

PHH Superuser - Alternative Open Source Rooting Method for Android

"PHH Superuser is the new player on the Android superuser / supersu app management. I am pretty confident this is a trusted supersu management because the project is open sourced. PHH Supersu is a modification / tweak from the open source Superuser project by Koushik Dutta (Clockworkmod) . PHH Superuser is created in hope to works on more device than Superuser can reach."

Root is mode on Android device where the system is unlocked and opened for modification. It can unlock the full potentiall of an Android device. On modern Android device like today, we must have some method to controll the powerfull potentiall of root so application that demand for root access is not harm the device system.

By using a superuser application, all apps that demand for root access must have been granted the permission first from the superuser app. And that method is by using superuser managements application to controll the root, and one of the newest is PHH Superuser. "PHH" is taken from its founder name, Pierre-Hugues Husson.

I think PHH Superuser is rooting Android device using "systemless" method. I can figure it because every I boot my Android device from TWRP recovery, it always says "device not rooted". In fact, the root is exist and all of my root application is working well.

If you love the Clockworkmod app and have tried the Clockworkmod Superuser rooting method did not work on your Android device, then you must try this method. Because the same thing is happened to my Samsung Galaxy V SM-G313HZ stock ROM.

The transfer of Chainfire Supersu ownership to Coding Code make me seek alternative of superuser app


At older post I have share how to root Android using Chainfire SuperSu. That method is the most favorite of Android users, and because it have good root command compatibility make it never fail on giving permission and access to all root application on every Android device.

But since the recent news, Chainfire decide to transfer the ownership of SuperSu to relatively unknown and "shady" corporation who called themself Coding Code Mobile Technology (CCMT). Then I start to questioning the security and integrity of SuperSu, especially to the new owner CCMT.

News spreading, the rumors of folks at Android community is also flying. Who is CCMT? Is they trusted? But all the rumors questioning their integrity just gotten bigger and bigger as why they even do not came out and "show their face" to the Android community to make some clarification and declare their integrity holding such a powerfull root management application called SuperSu.

But CCMT is still just a shady corporation to me now. And I am very care to my security and privacy. That is why also the folks at XDA is start seeking alternative superuser and rooting method, especially the one who declare that he is an open source superuser app. Now, PHH Superuser is my number 1 choice on root management app on my Android phone.

How to root Android device using PHH Superuser


Requirements:

  1. First thing first, if you are trying to replace your old superuser app with this PHH Superuser, you must unroot your device first (the option is usually exist in the superuser app option), so there is no code conflict each other. Or if you are rooting your Android device using systemless root by Chainfire SuperSu before, you must restore your Android device boot img to the original just like before installing it.

    If this is the first time you rooting your Android device, then you can just simply ignore this first step.
  2. Installing zip flashable. Now we will root the device by flashing the Superuser zip file. Just straight boot your Android device into recovery mode, and install the Superuser zip file. After it is done, reboot device.
  3. Now the Android device is rooted, we need to install the PHH Superuser.apk application. You also can find it on Play Store.
  4. Done. Now the PHH Superuser is ready to act as root management app.

7 Reasons That Will Make You Want to Root Your Not Rooted Android Device

Android, the open source project mobile system operation is have fast progress in it's development. But there is one thing cannot be separated from Android OS is it the old Android version or even to the most new Android N Nougat, and it is ROOT.

As we know Android is an open source operating system, so we have rights to modify the system as we like. By Rooting our Android device is the way we can unlock "the security seal" of the device so we can through the deep of the system. Actually for honest, Root is something that every user should not do so easy to his device. As for a rooted device can also bring user some serious trouble like bricking it, to the most important things like security and privacy of the user.

rooted android break chain

Also although Root is something that can void the warranty of an Android device, but still most user will do it anyway as there is so many benefits and advantages they get. But nowaday there is so many information we can get on websites tell us how to Root our Android device easily, and even there is solution to prevent if something bad happen when we did a failed Root.

My myself start Rooting my first Android smartphone Samsung Galaxy V SM-G313HZ when it still 3 months old in my hand. You know what is the first reason why I brace myself to rooted my Android smartphone at that time? To get internet access for free (oopss...) :D.

Now here it is, the 7 reasons that will make a user to root his Android device.

  1. Performance and Function Tweak


    When I just got my first Android smartphone, I'm very happy with it. The first game i was hunting is Final Fantasy III, then I playing it and "awesome". Then i knew that GTA game is also playable on Android, but with size 2 GB, but my phone storage is just 2 GB :( . But there is solutions to trick it, move the data and obb of game to external SD card (which usually have great space like 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, etc...) using some applications like Foldermount or some Xposed module like XinternalSD. And guess what? That's right, the applications is need ROOT :D.

    Also with Rooting your Android device, we can do many things to boost the device performance. There is many ways we can improve the performance of our device like removing unnecessarry bloatware (system applications), using some Init.d scripts, applying tweak to the RAM, and many more.
  2. Better Gaming Experience


    Playing game on Android device is also had many variations too. From Playing the usual Android game to playing some old school games like Playstation Portable using emulator application. One more reason to root your Android device for you who are gaming freak, to get more performance on the game and maximize your gaming experience.

    final fantasy iv the after years android game ceodore vs boss

    Let me give you a hints about the best Android application to maximize your gaming experience, and it is GLTools. By using GLtools application, you can enchant the graphic or even reduce lag and quality so you can play hind end game on an low end Android phone.
  3. Change Display and User Interface


    One the most reason why users root his Android device, it is to change the display and User Interface (UI). Yeah, we can change the color, the statu bar icon like clock, battery, change the Settings background with your girlfriend photo, or even fake the signal to 4G even you use a 3G phone :D.

    There is also many ways to do it, and one of the most popular method is using Xposed module as it is fairly easy to use and not too risky. Some popular Xposed module to modify the User Interface: Wanam Xposed (mainly for Samsung Touchwiz Kitkat), Xblast Tool (for Kitkat and down), or GravityBox (available for Android Jelly Bean to Marshmallow).
  4. Stay Up to Date


    Every Android device of course will get system update from the device Vendor. The update can include of Android OS version or even small updates to fix some minor bugs. But I'm sure an Android device will soon stop getting the official updates as more and more new device released. If we want, we also can take an act to update the system or OS version by ourself.

    Like my Samsung Galaxy V Android smartphone, now i'm running it with Android Marshmallow which originally released as Android Kitkat, although it never get official update from the manufacturer. To do that, I am installing an aftermarket firmware created by third party (non-official) and flash it by myself. It is often called installing a "Custom ROM".
  5. Change ROM


    Like I said above, by Installing a custom firmware or custom ROM (the right one of course...) we can update the OS version. But just not that, by Installing custom ROM is like a total modification also to the Display, performance, new features, and many more.

    custom roms on android

    To install a custom ROM, we need a custom recovery. And root is the only way if we want to install a custom recovery directly and using it by our Android device.
  6. Backup and Restore


    Now this also one more things that pretty important, to easily backup and restore of our Android device content. Actually Google also has offer you a service to backup your device to the Google Drive cloud. But it needs a lot of time and bandwith of course.

    If we have a rooted Android device, we can easily backup it's whole content from the applications, system, the apk's and anythings directly to our external storage, so no computer needed. There are many apps on the market that offer to do that, example the best is Titanium Backup and Helium.

    Or even we can make a full backup of our Android device content and system using the Backup feature on custom recovery like TWRP, CWM, etc as easy as "one tap".
  7. Hack 2 Free and Hack 2 Win :D


    Last but not least, is a bad reasons that is we can get premium / paid Android app or game for free. Or just hack an in-app-purchase of an application or game to get some premium features for free. It need some hacking jobs and some right tools like Lucky Patcher, which need root access of course.


    And also we can hack an Android game like the money, the gold, similar like that if we have root access because the system is already unlocked so we can make changes to everythings.

Like I said earlier, rooting your Android device is something you must think twice before to do it. As we get many benefits, a rooted Android device is also could bring us some trouble including bricking it or some serious trouble about your privacy and security.

I think rooting our Android device is ok if we know what app and what kind of jobs the root application will do to our Android device. And choosing the rights Superuser management app is also an important thing so you can keep your privacy and security safe.

What is Bootloop, Soft Brick, and Hard Brick on Your Android Device and How to Solve It

"Hey do your phone never got bootloop? Then you are not blessed one yet" :D . That's the word i hear often in the facebook group (in Indonesia) where the Android entusiast gathered. It means, bootloop is not something like you are going to die, but it's something you must face everyday if you declare yourself as an Android modder or entusiast. Bootloop on my Android phone is just like breathing in my life :D .


android injured

Actually, bootloop is just the most easy situation to handle on your Android device if you make a fail modification or hack on it. There are his big brother which worse called "soft brick" and "hard brick". And this is the difference between them:

Bootloop on Android


boot animation cyanogenmod
(source: forum.xda-developers.com)

The name said it all, a looping on booting process. Bootloop is happen if you make a fail modification or hack to your Android device, and after you restart your Android device it is just give you a boot animation on the screen forever.

You know boot animation right? Boot animation is like the gif image you see when you waiting for your Android device to live and enter homescreen. Example boot animation on Samsung Android device is the Samsung logo with white dot splash animation. Boot animation on CyanogenMod ROM is Cyanogen alien face with animation of white circle around it.

The boot animation process is usually take 1 to 5 minutes. But in bootloop state, it will take forever. Even if you waiting 1 hour, 3 hour, your device won't start.

Usually if you make a modification by flashing a zip file through recovery and the result is gave you a bootloop, it can be fixed by also flashing the uninstaller zip file provided by the mod author's to remove the modification from the device system. Example from the Xposed installation on Android Lollipop and up, it require us to install a zip file through the recovery and if the result is gave us a bootloop, to fix it just simply flash the uninstaller zip file which the developer provided

To fix bootloop is just simply restore from your Android device nandroid backup or flashing some uninstaller zip file where the mod authors provided.

Soft Brick on Android


boot logo samsung galaxy s 6
(source: forum.xda-developers.com)

Softbrick on Android is a state where the device even not enter boot animation. The device just pass untill boot logo and then it will like that forever.

Different with boot animation, bootlogo is the static image of the Android device manufacturer logo and usually followed by text at the bottom "Powered by Android". Bootlogo is the first state ever your device will shown on the screen in the booting process. It give you sign that the device is still fixable by yourself if you make a fail modification. The ordered process of device booting is: Boot logo -> Boot animation -> Device live and enter homescreen.

To fix soft brick on your Android device is just simply restore from your nandroid backup. If that's not helped, you need to reinstall the firmware of your Android device with the stock firmware.

Hard Brick on Android


Hard Brick is the worst situation ever happen to your Android device if you make a fail modification / hack where the device is totally dead. It even not showing you the boot logo, the screen is just totally black.

Well, if your Android device got a hard brick don't desperate first. Try to restore from the nandroid backup, and if that not helped try to reinstall the firmware, and if that's not helped too maybe you should take your Android device to the service center or the repairman :D

Best practice when make a modification on an Android device to prepare the possibilities of bootloop, soft brick, or hard brick


If you are going to make modification on your Android device moreover it is a big modification like installing a custom ROM, it is very recommended to make a nandroid backup first.

Nandroid backup is like a snapshot of your Android device which containing whole device content, system, and even installed applications. The nandroid backup is made using custom recovery like CWM, TWRP, etc. So, if something wrong happen to your Android device after did some modification, simply just restore it back from the Nandroid backup you made. Nandroid backup is already save my Android smartphone from bad situations many times i couldn't remember.

Defiant07 Swap Init.d Script - Improve RAM Performance on Your Android Device

Now i will share a tutorial to imrove your Android device performance by tweaking the memory (RAM) using swap, and we will use init.d script called (and you may notice the creator by the script name) "Defiant07 swap script".

Personally i use swap RAM and disable the zram to increase performance on my mid-entry smartphone Samsung Galaxy V. It is proven (at last to me) can reduce lag and imrove multitasking ability. Before, i use RAM Manager Pro to did it. But recently since i found Defiant07 Swap script, later i switch using it, as it can send the swap RAM command directly to system without any additional app running so it won't use RAM and CPU for it. I use it on my Android smartphone running CyanogenMod 13 (6.0 Marshmallow) and the results is satisfied to me.

There are 2 methods to do swap RAM on our Android device using Defiant07 script. Both of them will require us running the script command to set and create an init.d scripts. One option via script manager app, and the other one is via terminal emulator. Choose the one suits you.

Requirements:


defiant07 swap script command terminal emulator

screenshot ram and swap diskinfo app

Installation Defiant07 swap script


Via Terminal Emulator (Flashable)


Tools:

Steps:
  1. Flash the Defiant07 swap it on zip file through recovery, reboot your Android device.
  2. Open Terminal Emulator app, type: su, enter, then type: swapit, enter.
  3. Follow the instruction to create setup for your swap and RAM setting preferences.

Via Script Manager (Non flashable)


Tools:

Steps:
  1. Download and extract the Defiant07 swap for Script Manager method zip file, inside it you will find the script file which you must run using Script Manager application.
  2. Open the Script Manager app, locate the script you just extracted before, and be sure to run it on root mode.
  3. Follow the instruction to create setup for your swap and RAM setting preferences.

Optional steps, disable the zram


Download and place the init.d script disable zram on /system/etc/init.d/. This is just based on my experience that if the zram is not disabled, the swap RAM is likely untouched and useless. Also by disabling the zram, it will reduce lag on your Android device as zram working by compressing block of ram, it will consume cpu resource.

Now after all is done, you can reboot your Android device.

Play Game Smoother on Your Android Device with GLTools APK (Gxf optimizer)

GLTools is another fascinating android application you must have on every rooted Android device. This app is very usefull for every Android gamers, especially for the low end devices. Gltool can manipulate graphic and system information to adapt the games we want to play in hope to get faster and smoother performance by reducing the graphic, or otherwise get better graphic quality by falsing the system information like GPU (Graphic Processing Unit), RAM, etc...

Maybe for you're who had long journey on Android world will know about the 3D Chainfire, that actually is have similar objective with Gltools. Just Gltools bring more rich features and support broader range of Android version from Android 2.3 up to Android 6.0. And it is still on active development untill now.

Requirements:
* Rooted.
* Custom recovery installed, just in case.
* Brain

Quoted from the developer:

Features list:
- Change resolution and rendering bitness in any app, even if it doesn't support that by default.
- Change GPU name and enjoy enhanced graphics even on a noname low-end GPU.
- Take full control over textures: now you can decompress/recompress them (even if your GPU doesn't support that texture format) and resize. Note that decompression feature is available only if you'll install a plugin (internet is required to do that)
- Optimize shaders on-the-fly for optimal performance (the same optimizer is used in Unity3D engine by default)
- Enable MSAA or CSAA in any app to improve graphics quality (make sure that your GPU supports that)
- Measure gained performance with a nice onscreen FPS counter (or you can output FPS information to Logcat if you are a pro)


To make an independent settings for a game, make sure to choose the game and tick the "enable custom setting for this game".


Some noob tips from me to get better performance and quality from android games using Gltools app


  • Game is smooth, but screen is black / have black dotted: tick √ "Force 16 bit rendering"
  • Lag or force close on game:
    * Change "Downscales texture," = 0.5, or choose below it (reduce graphic quality).
    * Tick "Use fake cpu" and "Use fake GPU", change the "Use a template". Need some experiment one by one.
    * Reduce the value of "Use lower render resolution" (reduce graphic).
  • Increase graphic quality:
    * Tick "Optimise glsl shader".
    * Increase the value of "Anti aliasing", match it with your device GPU.
    * Tick "Use fake cpu" and "Use fake GPU", change the "Use a template". Need some experiment one by one.

gltools first installation
(when first installation)

When we are about to open the Gltools app for the first time, turn on your internet connection so the GPU decoder plugin option is available to be installed on our Android device.

Actually the ROM is already developed months back ago, started by the same developer of CM11 for Galaxy V doesntexits@XDA. But because this only personal blog (not a devs blog), i'm just waiting the stable enough version for all people to use it, and in fact this developer also ngoquang2708@XDA says the developing of this CM12.1 for Samsung Galaxy V SM-G313HZ will be stopped due to his focus developing Cyanogenmod 13 for Galaxy V (it's the hottest android Marshmallow AMAZING :v ).

Few days i try this CM12.1 ROM on my Samsung Galaxy V SM-G313HZ, i am very satisfied with it. It's already stable i think, the fastest ROM i have ever used and there is no word except Amazing!!! Great work from the developers. Yeah because the developed is stopped at BETA-3 state, so there will be little bug maybe (but it's just minor and not very important i think).

Requirements
* Already installed custom recovery TWRP
* BACKUP
* Brain :v

How to Full Backup Your Android Smartphone Content and Data Without PC / Computer

Nandroid Backup is a name for full backup from your current Android smartphone ROM and content like app, data, and even the system. In simple meaning by creating a Nandroid backup, we like give our Android phone "a second life" :v , in case our Android phone is dead (we called it "soft brick") there is still one chance to revive it again by restore it from the nandroid backup. So it is highly recommended to create a nandroid backup when you are going to make big modification like change ROM or do a high risk operation from your Android smartphone.

However, to create a Nandroid backup Without a computer we must already have a custom recovery installed on our Android phone (TWRP or CWM recommended). We can install a custom recovery via Odin (need computer) or just flash it directly from our Android phone like one click through app called flashify (root needed).

Requirements:
* Custom recovery installed. TWRP or CWM recommended.
* a Lots of External SdCard empty space. It is recommended that you have empty space in your external sdcard bigger than your current used internal memory size.


Steps how to full backup your Android smartphone content


  1. Go into recovery mode. Turn off your Android phone, and then press and hold simultaneously the POWER + HOME + VOLUME UP button and hold it for least 5 seconds, quickly release the buttons when the phone vibrate.
  2. * If you are on CWM recovery: Go to "Backup and Restore" -> "Backup".
    Note that if you have move some of applications to the external memory, it will also be backed-up so the nandroid backup size may be bigger than expected.

    * If you are on TWRP: Go to "Backup". By this way we can choose what to be backed up is the system only, the data (application and data), etc.
    Oh and don't forget we can choose the storage location too by tap on "Select storage" to choose between internal memory or external memory (recommended).
  3. * You can restore your Android phone through the "Backup and Restore" -> "Restore" menu, if you are On CWM.

    * If we are on TWRP recovery, we can restore our Android phone from the "Restore" menu, and we also can choose what to restore too.

The Nandroid backup file we made will be stored at "storage/extSdCard/clockworkmod/backup" for CWM and "storage/extSdCard/TWRP" for TWRP recovery (if you choose the external sdcard as backup location). Now you are free to modification your Android smartphone or make mistakes as much as you want :v . In case something terrible happen or your Android phone is soft bricked, just restore it from the nandroid backup you WAS made, right ? ;-) .

What is Stock, Custom, Recovery Mode in Android and The Function

Just like it's named, recovery mode take an act to recover your Android device. In simple way for me, recovery mode is like some "first aid" when something happen to your device. Recovery mode is one of feature in Android smartphones that serves to fix, add, replace, remove (delete), the contents of our Android device or even to upgrade the Android version. Maybe we often hear recovery mode is needed when are to install custom ROM, systemUI mod, or adding tweaks (script to boost performance) to our device.

To put our Android device into recovery mode, turn off the device, and then press the following button: Volume Up + Home + Power, simultaneously and hold its for 5 second. When you are in recovery mode, use the Volume Up and Volume Down button as navigation and Power button as confirmation (in CWM recovery the confirmation button is changed to Home button).

Stock recovery in android


Stock recovery is the default recovery of Android smartphones from the device manufacturer. Features in stock recovery is soooo... limited. And sometimes (many times) if we do an "install from zip" will become failed because "file header verification failed", that is because the device manufacturer is some kind like "protect" the system from being modified. Even on some Android smartphone brand does not have default recovery mode installed. So for the reason, installing a custom recovery is something we can not avoid IF we want to change the system of our Android device effectively

(Stock recovery mode on samsung)

Custom recovery CWM and TWRP


As it says "Custom", not original, it is a recovery mode that is made by 3rd party. In Custom recovery is added some features that does not exist in stock recovery like backup, touchscreen support, file manager, etc. There is two most popular custom recovery used by Android device user, that is CMW (ClockWorkMod) and TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project), although there's another custom recovery like Philz Recovery. Most important thing in custom recovery is ability to disable the "signature file verification", so we can install or flash any file we want without worry the zip files being blocked to be flashed because the signature things just like in the default recovery.

(CWM custom recovery mode)

(TWRP Custom Recovery Mode)

To install a custom recovery we need to find the correct recovery file to our Android device model. We must extremely carefull because different way to install the recovery, different smartphone device model, and the recovery file will be different. If we choose the wrong recovery file or wrong method will cause our Android device unable to enter to recovery mode anymore, or even worse: bootloop or softbtrick.

Install TWRP v 3.0.0.0 Recovery Without PC or Computer Samsung Galaxy V SM-G313HZ

TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) is another one of the most used custom recovery for Android smartphone. This time i will share TWRP for samsung galaxy v SM-G313HZ, vivalto KST kernel (had OTA updated before), and can be installed without PC / computer (through recovery). For you who use another kernel (or have not update your device via OTA), maybe you can try this recovery too, but maybe i can not guarantee the success.

Requirements:
- Rooted
- CWM recovery installed
- File TWRP 3.0.0.0 VIVALTO.zip (+- 8.4MB)
- Backup as needed
- Brain :v


TWRP recovery for Samsung Galaxy V device is made by Indonesian, one of member XDA forum cleverior.ipul. Why we need to choose install TWRP, although before we have installed CWM, it is just the same? You right, but after installed TWRP i just realized that there is so many benefit and advantage that i don't found on CWM recovery before, like TWRP is support touch, so we don't need to press the hardware key of our device many times that will cause to earlier key broken on our device.

Some features that i do not found on CWM recovery previously i installed:
  • Touch support
  • We can take screenshot by pressing key: volume down + power
  • We can choose where we will save the backup (internal or external)
  • We can choose what partitions we want to backup (is it backup just the system, the data, etc...)
  • Nandroid backup size is smaller (because it don't backup internal, it's good as internal itself is part of device MEMORY). When create Nandroid backup using CWM i found the size is +3 GB, but when using TWRP it's just +-1 GB (can be smaller by check the "compress" option)
  • File manager (in "Advance" menu")
  • And many more...

Installation TWRP 3.0.0.0 Samsung Galaxy V without PC / computer


Download the flashable zip file of TWRP 3.0.0.0 above, place it on your external memory card. Just straight put your device into recovery mode, choose "Install zip" -> "Choose zip from sdcard", find and choose where you put the TWRP zip file, choose " Yes...". Reboot smartphone (or automatically reboot).

When we go to recovery mode with TWRP for the first time, there will be a warning wizard that is you want to use the TWRP for JUST THIS TIME or want to use it PERMANENTLY (replace your stock recovery). If we want to use it permanent (replace the previous recovery), we must accept the TWRP to change the system to make TWRP permanent on our device. Just read the first wizard...
