[Galaxy 3 General] vijay.gupta:
Thanks cdesai for the reply. I am using cwm and using this only, I am rebooting my phone in recovery mode. Does "flashing a kernel that already has this solution" means that I should flash my phone with a custom ROM that already has this solution implemented?
[Galaxy 3 General] cdesai:
Ok

keep the adhoc file on your sd card

reboot into cwm

(use volume buttons to navigate, home to select)

choose apply zip from sd card

select the adhoc zip file

click on yes

it should work, if not then yes you can flash place the file by root explorer or flash a custom rom that already has it implemented

to manually apply the file

open the adhoc zip

open system folder

open bin folder

extract the file wpa_supplicant and keep just the file on ur sd

open root explorer and copy the file to /system/bin (replace the old one, take a backup of it - or rename it)
[Galaxy 3 General] vijay.gupta:
Are you referring to wpa_supplicant by adhoc file?

I cannot copy the extracted file to /system/bin folder as going to that folder is graying out paste option

If I try to apply it by rebooting into recovery mode, it is giving error message:

It is getting failed with the following message:

Finding update package...

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk() (or NULL)

(No such file or directory)

E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip

Installation Aborted

Note: I have renamed the file to update.zip and placed it in root of sdcard before rebooting it into recovery mode. Even then, I am getting this error message.

Please help me in proceeding further.
[HTC Desire S] mars_robot:
hi guys,

why have all the focus on sense 3.0 roms?

i prefer sense 2.1. i use at the moment the lbc 0.60 mod with unity v4 kernel

in my eyes the best sense 2.1 rom.

is it possible to make a sense 2.1 rom in mix with actually ota from htc or using the newest kernels like unity v9 or else.

thx
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Mix with ota sure possible, but yet not build as much as i know.

Unity v9 you can use, anyway it fits better than tiamat, cause unity is build for sense roms and tiamat for aosp roms ;)
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I'm quite surprised that that kernel works with sense!?:confused:

Nothings wrong with Sense v2.1 and LBC IMO was best implementation of it - I've not long come from it myself, although even LBC's next ROM will be pure sense 3.0 - showing that times change and things move on!;)

The reason why the direction has moved towards Sense v3.0 is as a result of the official release and the fact that the devs have tweaked it so that it runs as fast if not smoother than Sense v2.1 did, with more eye candy!:D

They just need to work on battery life! :rolleyes:
[HTC Desire S] mars_robot:
sorry. i'm using unity v4. i have changed first post
[HTC Desire S] Nomader0:
I agree with original poster.. i love sense 3 but i hate the carussel.. i wish there was a way to disable it and use the 2.1 method
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
You need to try more Sense v3.0 ROMS the degree that the carousel spins varies across the ROMs and in some is even turn on and off'able.

I personally really like the way that I can scroll in a full circle - a huge improvement on having to go left or right then stopping, but, I don't think that the carousel effect is completely necessary.
[HTC Desire S] :
I also hate the nuisance spinning carousel. It's a prime example of form over function. If you want a good Sense 3.0 ROM where this has been inhibited, I can recommend BinDroid. It's not been turned off, just damped right down so it's actually quite hard to go into an eyeroll-inducing home-screen spin-out. :D
[HTC Desire S] Nomader0:
I actually hate the whole screen switching thing. I prefer the side to side switch of 2.1
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Must admit I like the carousel ,rather than having to flick backwards and forwards ,it's just case of moving on around
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Went to cyanogenmod and never looked back.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
No, I like that feature too, but the carousel is the pretty annoying animation where by the screens just spin round in mini size! whizzing by just eye candy but pointless except use CPU and therefore burn battery!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I would have agreed with the OP a few months back :p

I disliked the sense 3.0 aswell. I tried virtuous unity, it was slow AND laggy.

But since then, sense 3.0 has been desgined for single core now. And it is very well optimized for pur phones.

I don't really mind the carousel.. ive gotten used to it now.

The real things I like about 3.0 are the deeper integration, keyboard new sense apps etc.

What looks.nice now is sense 3.5 :p want to give it a go soon!

Do any of you notice any significant changes in battery life between 2.1 vs 3.0?

I don't!
[HTC Desire S] mars_robot:
is it possible to mix 2.1 apk and widgets with 3.0? so i make my personal rom. i think i have to study "how to cook a rom" :D
[HTC Desire S] harshs23:
Try VoidU, the carousel is a little hard to spin in a full circle and over all a good ROM.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Yeah, noticed that when I tried comparing spinning on hyperion and VoidU
[HTC Desire S] det66:
ahh but that is just down to how fast you flick it ,it's not the de-facto way of doing it

what is a nandroid? how do you perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM? im going to cm7 stable from kj1. just wondering cause it says in the steps to install cm7. thanks..sorry for the noob ques..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sword_of_a_1000_truths:
its making a complete backup of ur current rom settings,apps and all. with i897 gingerbread roms i dont think u can restore a nandroid backup. but u would normally do a backup in recovery with cwm.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
yes, nandroid on i897 ginger roms do not work.

but the procedure would be to make a backup. then if you flash a different rom from what the backup was made from you would have to flash the rom back that was backed up THEN restore the nandroid and it will be like you never flashed away from that rom.

DO NOT EVER restore a nandroid to a set up it was not backed up on, it will bootloop.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluerogue85:
can you expound on that please...hahaha..sorry im reading it over and over..just need to clarify..what you mean? thanks btw guys for the reply..so basically nandroid backs up your rom..cause just the name sounded confusing..i mean why name it nandroid when they can just say in the intructions before flashing a rom to just "back up" your rom..haha..i thought nandroid was something else..cause i heard other people saying something about efs or whatever and backing it up but i dont even know what that is especially..thanks though for replies..got it..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Say you back up your current ROM, then flash another. You can't just restore ROM A onto ROM b. You have to flash back to ROM A and THEN restore the nandroid and it will be like you never flashed ROM b. All of you settings and everything will be intact.

Efs is totally different, that is a partition that contains your phones individual data, it's imei which you have to manually backup it's not included in a nandroid.

Kindly clarify this please, i want to backup my stock rom before going custom.

So inorder to do a complete backup, we need to do a nandroid backup and also backup imei separately?? and then restore both of them when i flash back to stock??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
They are two separate issues, really, but you are correct that you should back up both.

Nandroid lets you go back to a previous state, as long as you flash back to the correct ROM before you restore it. It will not let you restore data to your new installation, though. If you want to restore your applications in your new ROM, you can download Titanium Backup from the market which will let you batch save your applications now and restore them on your new ROM (It can also save and restore system data, but don't restore system data between ROMs, it causes all sorts of weird issues).

Backing up your EFS folder is something you should do, but hopefully will never have to restore. Your EFS folder contains information about your phone and should never actually get touched in any way when flashing ROMs. However, things go wrong and sometimes this folder ends up getting corrupted for whatever reason, which can lead to a corrupt IMEI code and no service. If this were to happen, you would restore you EFS from backup. I think it's safe to say most of us have never had to actually do this, but better safe than sorry. You can do a search for backing it up and find several threads about it.

Happy flashing!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxymny:
Hello,

This is the thread I was looking for. It just tackles top backup/restore issues I want to be positive of before tinkering around.

Now, what app is capable of doing a nandroid backup, if any? RomManager?

If a nandroid backup consists of the firmware and system settings but no kernel, bootloader or modem, how are these three backed up then?

My goal is making a stock unrooted (if possible) backup.

A concerning restoring, from this thread I understand that the restore process is composed of:

1st restore ROM A (which?)

2nd restore nandroid (which?)

3rd restore data/apps (Titanium is able to)

4th restore EFS folder (how?)

Please, correct/suggest. I appreciate.

Greetings,
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
First of all, you have revived an old thread with now false information. A nandroid does include modem and kernel. Bootloaders can't be backed up, and there really wouldn't be a point in that. No app can do a backup, and please don't use ROM manager; it's obsolete. As for your steps: You probably only need to flash a ROM first if the partition table is being changed. Meaning you can't restore a Samsung ROM over an AOSP ROM. You won't need to use titanium backup because you will have restored the phone to the exact state it was when you took the backup. Meaning there won't be anything to restore. Efs? Don't touch it, we never will be deleting it.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxymny:
Hello,

@korockinout13: I don't think I'm providing false info. Actually, i've been gathering from the thread. I think there's some disagreement on what a nandroid backup really backs up from the views expressed in the thread. Plus, it's pure netiquette not opening new threads for a topic already started somewhere else in a forum. It's power ecology. No hard feelings, though. :)

Thank you and b-eock for your replies. I think I'd rather use cwm instead.

My goal is still the same: making a stock unrooted (if possible) backup as there are no roms available for my brand new Mini:

pda S5570XWKQG

csc S5570YOGKQ3

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Someone told me about the modem part, so I'm not really sure about that. But if it doesn't backup the kernel, why does restoring a nandroid put you back on the kernel you had previously (i.e. Glitch)?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Samsung is bml... the kernel is compiled into a zImage

Aosp,(and sense, not sure about motoblur but who fuggin cares about motorola)is mtd and it's kernel is compiled into a boot.img if I'm not mistaken. And since that's the norm it's what cwm supports, so it does back up kernels...just not zImages.

Umm im a bit confused if i have two identical phones both on stock roms (but different ones) and i back up the first one could i restore that back up to the second phone using cwm without any issues ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
How different are the stock roms?

I huge difference like a jump in Android version (2.2 to 2.3.x for example) will not work as the stock kernel isn't backed up, not to mention the need for proper bootloaders if going up to gb the first time

But if it were a small difference say Kb1 and kb2 (both froyo builds) then that should work fine cause the stock kernel doesn't change too much between builds, although some of those early gingerbread leaks were awfully kernel picky

So. I've been using the Synergy RLS1 ROM for quite a while. Since it was released really. I've had little to no issues with it. About three nights ago, I attempted to update my radio from the stock 11.19, to 08.08. The phone worked for the most part, except it seemed that Rosie was gone. (I.E. I had data, recieved messages and emails, but couldn't even access a lockring to unlock the darn phone.) I had to reflash Synergy, and just noticed that while everything else is golden, my MMS suddenly refuses to send. I booted into CM7 (I run bootmanager) and MMS failed there as well. Any ideas?

Hello everybody!

I had the infuse since June. I loved it! I thought it was the best phone ever! There were a few things I didn't like about it though, GPS was wonky and it was running froyo to name a couple. Also development seemed to stall as more than a few devs jumped ship for the s2.

I gave my infuse to my brother and bought the s2. I love it even more than I loved the infuse! Everything worked out of the box. I rooted it a few days after I got it. To be honest I don't think I'll flash a custom Rom. this is the first phone where I actually love the phone stock. I installed titanium backup and uninstalled the apps I had no need of.

Maybe one of these days I'll flash a custom Rom but I'm happy now. I look forward to reading everything this forum has to offer.
