Use this at your own risk!

:[Requirements]:

A custom recovery with a busybox in /sbin/ that includes the 'mount' and the 'mkdir' commands.

:[Concept origin]:

This concept is based off a backup-restore set I modded from the BonsaiROM.

Here's a link to the old thread for that.

:[Tested and working on a Samsung Epic 4G and a HTC EVO 4G]:

Tested in ClockworkMod and AmonRA recoveries.

Thanks to Anomaly for HTC EVO 4G testing and graphics.

Project info:

Selective and configurable backup and restore for android.

Features include:

Recovery based backup and restore to minimize conflicts.

Outputs progress and info to the recovery UI.

Should support most devices with a custom recovery.

Tested on a Samsung Epic 4G (ClockworkMod Recovery) and a HTC Evo 4G (AmonRA recovery).​

Backups are tar based, gzip compressed and configurable.

Fully configurable via files on the sdcard (/sdcard/backup-restore/).

The include file includes files and folders (/sdcard/backup-restore/include).

The exclude file excludes files and folders (/sdcard/backup-restore/exclude).

The name file determines the name of the backup, e.g. "backup" will create "backup.tar.gz" ("backup" is the default).​

Pre-configured to backup boot animations, ringtones, notifications, and alarms.

Pre-configured to not backup useless items such as logs, tombstones, etc (will create default include and exclude files on the sdcard).

Does not wipe data partition before restoring (unless you choose the "ncRestore_Data_Wipe.zip").

Should preserve apps moved to the sdcard.​

Zips that can be installed via a custom recovery can be found here:

http://www.nubecoder.com/files/android/ncBackup-Restore/​

:[Download]:

The download link is up in the README text above (I recommend reading it). ;]

:[Instructions]:

To backup your data, from recovery, flash the "ncBackup.zip" from your sdcard.​

To restore your data, from recovery, flash the "ncRestore.zip" from your sdcard.​

To wipe everything in the /data partition as well as restore your data, from recovery, flash the "ncRestore_Data_Wipe.zip" from your sdcard.​

:[Extra notes]:

To preserve your native Apps2SD (Froyo+) do not wipe /data with recovery before restoring.

:[Feedback]:

Please report bugs / errors.

Hey.. Just thought I'd bring this to your attention

Woot.com is running a sale on 5" Galaxy S devices today http://www.woot.com

Model number is YP-G70CW.

In Samsung Speak Y designates "young minded" or "entry level" devices. Just wanted to let you guys know about this. Also, it does not look like this is a phone, it is branded Wi-Fi, so making it work on your mobile network may be impossible.

t's a GalaxyS device and that means just about anything developed for the Captivate or i9000 should work with it. This would however, be a great Smart-MP3 player present for a kid in your life.
[General Topics] oblib__:
Just bought one for the wife as a mini-tablet, but I'm kind of disappointed to see the lack of interest anywhere, here included. It looks like there's a way to root it, but now ROM community at all.

I've got a Vibrant, but don't have a data plan (haven't ever needed it), so it's really not very different than what this device should be able to be for us.
[General Topics] AdamOutler:
Its 2.2 so you can use super one click to root. Its an entry level device and not a mainstream one so it will likely not get a forum unless it's a product launch and we are just seeing the first few... However, I bet it will run most i9000 and maybe your vibrant's ROM.
[General Topics] oblib__:
The thing that seems to be missing in my brief search is a nandroid backup/restore option. Without that it makes me hesitant to mess around too much. Also I would be surprised if other Galaxy ROMs just work, as even the Captivate and Vibrant have compatibility problems.
[General Topics] AdamOutler:
You can change kernel and ROMs to test just don't test bootloaders on this device or you could brick it.

You are angry at the wrong group. The FCC did not even approve the SGSII until the end of July. All of the carriers were waiting on the government. Then they have to get their marketing, packaging, stock, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 10nisman94:
Not really true. The SGS II the US is getting is substantially different from the inter national version (see NFC and button layout change). If the i727 was approved in July, AT&T has been sitting on it since then. We could've had it in May like the rest of the world if AT&T hadn't requested changes.

I finally got my lockscreen looking beautiful with a wallpaper that isn't warped in some way thanks to the thread in here but now I've come across another problem. It's a light wallpaper so the white time, grey am/pm, and white unlock icon/ring are incredibly hard to see.

The closest thing I could find on it was someone going into the adb and doing xml changes on the G2x. Is that the only way?

[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
Try a full calibration, not just deleting batstats. Run the battery completely out, charge while off (hopefully) to 100% then power on make sure its 100 or charge to it, then delete batstats and let die again.

[G1 Accessories] Towncivilian:
I recently bought a T-Mobile G1 and flashed it to:

EzGingerbread 20110828

Radio: 2.22.28.25

SPL: 1.33.0013d

I currently have a PowerGen battery, which came with the phone.

I do not have a data plan, so I run with WiFi off & autosync off when not at home, screen at 25% brightness most of the time. The battery takes excessively long to charge when using USB and AC charger (in this case, iPhone charger and a car charger for a GPS which outputs 5v, up to 1.2A IIRC). If I leave it on my bed untouched overnight with the mentioned settings at high battery charge (90%+), it's usually 25% or less when I wake up.

So, I'm thinking to buy an OEM battery. I see a T-Mobile 31463TMR Li-Ion Battery for HTC G1 available on Amazon that seems to have good reviews, as well as a HTC Innovations G1 Google Battery Drea160. Both appear to be OEM products - some received the 31463TMR when bought from a T-Mo store, and I've read Drea160 mentioned here previously. Which one would be the better choice, or is there an extended battery that is well lauded and does not require an extended cover?

I'd link to the said products rather than simply bolding them, but since this is my first post I am unable to do that. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Thanks.
[G1 Accessories] Towncivilian:
Well, I purchased the T-Mobile 31463TMR Li-Ion Battery for HTC G1 from Amazon and it has a "DREA160" part #, and looks fine. It arrived with only a 1% charge, strangely; I'll let it die and recharge to full. I also ordered a replacement back cover and it has the same part number and markings as the original cover. I hope this battery will fare better than the one I was using previously.

I have boot loop for every single custom rom I flashed. I was with Bell using DZ, downgraded and rooted it with gfree detailed in this thread http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1055581

It all ran fine until I accidentally flashed it with the a Chinese version MIUI. Since then every single rom I flashed would be trapped in boot loop where I get a brief glimpse of the UI before it reboots itself.

I am able to boot into CWM v3.0.1.4. I do the usually steps before I flash a new rom.

1. wipe Data/factory reset (x3)

2. wipe cache partition

3. wipe Dalvik Cache

Roms I have tried so far are CM 7.0.3., virtuous sense 2.0.0., MIUI 1.9.9.

I read someone with a similar situation that he flashed a new radio into the phone to get it to work? I don't want to brick it by doing anything stupid because I am very ignorant of what it can do. Can someone please tell me what I need to do?

And also one quick question, does flashing a rom comes with a new custom kernel?

Thank you very much.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
Don't flash a radio for this. Go to dev thread and grab the superwipe_g2. Boot to recovery(or place on sd card once in recovery), install zip. That should take out any crap that may be sitting around. A radio won't fix bootloops

[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
I have a script that i use in the init.d folder to keep some apps in memory i was wondering what the commands are to set the cpu frequency's and governor.

Im just trying to keep it simple i just want a the text for a startup script to set the minimum cpu freq and the gov state

example

Min 450

Max 1000

Gov: Performance

Im assuming this would be a busybox script im using zepplins bulletproof app code and i just wanted to throw some more code in there to play with cpu speeds. In a file with no extension in init.d folder.

Would this work?

#!/system/bin/sh
#
# By Mike Lierman
# www.mikelierman.com
#
# You may use, reuse, and modify freely.
#
# This script sits in the background and waits for Android to tell it that the phone is sleeping. It
# will then set a gentle 456MHz max cpu frequency, and turn off the second core; which cures insomnia.

FREQENCY_MAX="1000000" # 1GHz
FREQENCY_MIN="250000" # 250MHz

do

echo $FREQENCY_MIN > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq;
echo $FREQENCY_MAX > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq;
echo $FREQENCY_MIN > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq;
echo $FREQENCY_MIN > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq;
fi
done
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
no it wouldnt work because in the 2.3.3 kernel, it ignores what ever you tell it and does what ever it wants. you can try it but then look at the frequencies and see that it went back to 216 and 1ghz. in addition if you are using the performance governor it will run at max 100% of the time. thats just how the governor works
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Just wanted to say if u take 03cpufreq from navens init.d hack and put it in init.d folder. Change permission and owners and edit the values to what u want in the script for min/max and go to setcpu u CAN use the slider bars to hold a min/max and change governor from performance/powersave and it WILL hold the value u set. I have been doing this.for over 5 hours now and it hasn't ONCE dropped below the 456 I set it at for min.
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
ive been playing around with all those scripts for a day or 2 and i have been using cputuner to track what freq im at. it will stay until the kernel disables the 2nd core then it goes back to normal. i just did what you said and put it at 608 (its just what ever i clicked on) watch it stay up there until # of cores was 1 then i did something and back to 216. use cputuner to check your freq stats. im willing to bet that you have time spent in 216 and 312. i even used both the script to use performance governor and it runs it at what ever freq it wants. who ever set up this kernel was a ****tard
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Ill check that out. There gotta be a way to set both cpus. Some type of script or something. Maybe im wrong tho.

[LG Optimus 2x] saaif88:
Hey Everyone, New android user here, for the very first time, I literally got my phone 6 hours ago, but prior to that, I did quite a bit of reading.

My Phone is The LG Optimus 2X (hence the section) and my carrier is wind mobile.

I've Been in the Iphone/Itouch scene for quite a while now, so I'm not very new to customizing devices but what I am new to is Android, as a whole.

My question is simply this: where do I begin?

Having Prior Electronics knowledge I know the first thing to do is always make a backup, and The reason I intend on doing that is because I have a year of warranty with wind mobile, and if anything goes (physically) wrong with my phone, I'll be able to carry it back, but since rooting (technically) voids your warranty, I want to do a full 100% stock backup of my phone, that I can always return to if it needs to be serviced, and if anyone here can tell me how to do that, it will be much appreciated.

After I do that, what else do I do? I've been reading up on things like cyanogenmod and such, but i'm still pretty confused.

If anyone can lead me in the right direction, i'll appreciate it greatly.

(also if you read all of this, then you get +1 awesomness)

Thanks!

you don't need to worry about root, it can unroot again use SUPERONECLICK try to search that program.

Thanks for the Quick Reply antec123, but I knew that...

What I heard was that that doesn't 100% unroot your phone, now I could be wrong, and superoneclick was what I was going to use in the first place.

All I really need is something to fallback on, that's Why i'm looking for backup software.

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

Actually, upon further reading, I just realized that my phone isn't The Optimus 2x (P990) but actually the G2X (P999)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] tooliub4u:
Hi fellas

Upon flashing my G2X with the CM7 nightly build 123 & 124, I've found that mobile internet no longer works.

On the stock 2.3.3 gingerbread rom, it worked - so I can confirm that mobile internet definitely works on my phone, paired with my sim.

And yes I am using the same APN settings as before.

After installing build 124, i bumped into the notorious disappearing APN settings and thus tried flashing build 123.

Build 123 saves the APN setting - but for some reason the mobile internet just doesn't work. The 4G icon at the top doesn't show but i can still send and receive sms and calls etc.

I tried a restore to the stock rom and :eek: mobile internet works.

Does anyone have any idea what i should do?

If you do that would be great :D

(First time android user here - so i may have missing something very simple... so blurt out every possible solution you know)

EDIT: yes i do full wipes before each flash as well as a cache wipe, dalvik wipe and a fix permissions.

Also realised that after turning on airplane mode for a minute and then back off, that the apn setting disappears for build 123 as well.
