Root [GUIDE] Brick Recovery


Thanks for clarifying...it's been about 3 yrs since I've done this on last phone and with so many different pages conflicting I missed the link to the TWRP.

Anyways, I got TWRP flashed as recovery now. So far I like the options compared to CWM. Now when I download cm11 to my SD, should I be doing a data wipe first (cache, data, dalvik) then reboot and load Cm11 from sd card or will it matter? If I remember last time i wiped the dalvik.

Thanks again.

What are you referring to by responsiveness? If you mean touch input, it's fine for me. Any delay in response is from the system being busy at the moment and unable to react right away, not any sort of input failure.
I guess I mean when I type the touch input can't keep up with my speed but especially the back button at the bottom it's like non responsive at times

You're being impatient I think. Remember, this phone only has 1GB of RAM, and 600 of that is used by the system. You can't expect an instant reaction to your input all the time. Especially if you're hitting back, the phone has to finish what it's doing, then execute what you wanted, which may include reloading something into memory. So, technically speaking, it's not an issue of the screen failing to register input, it's the phone not being able to react as quickly as you're wanting.

The Lollipop ROMs on here feel more responsive, partly due to the overclocking available in them. If you don't mind the other issues that those have, you may want to try them out.

So I did the upgrade to the deodexed ZV5, and I lost SuperSU, even though it is still listed as an app on my apps list. I click on it and it says it is not installed, and root checker says its not rooted. I followed the full guide, downgraded to zv3, upgraded using the twrp, factory restored, but now I dont have flashify, and I dont think I would have TWRP anymore. Do i have to start over and flash the ZV5 Odexed rom?
EDIT may have screwed up didnt install su zip

I mean recorder in FM radio
You need to ask in the CM12 thread. Don't know what you mean about radio recorder, but pretty sure that would be an app issue.
