[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjbehren:
Hello all. Thanks in advance for any help. I attempted some searches before posting this but didn't come up with much.

I've been using CM7 for quite some time and I quite like it. However, I've started to get some random resets, force closes, and a few other issues. I also feel like I have a lot of unused garbage saved on my memory card and that the phone is generally bogged down and slower than it used to be. Long story short, I'd like to start from scratch, including formatting my 32GB SD card.

As I said, I'm currently on CM7. I'm looking to essentially do a total factory reset and format my SD card. I may go back to Sense until a stable ICS ROM is ready. But I may also go back to CM7. Regardless, my main concern is all these apps I have that were moved to my SD card.

How do I go about saving all of my data while still starting clean? I was thinking I'd back up all app data with MyBackup Pro and save that file on my computer, and then format the SD card. After wiping, flashing a ROM, etc., I'd download MyBackup Pro and upload the data backup back to my phone. Should I also save the .apk files and use them to restore the apps? Would there be any functional advantage in redownloading all the apps individually to ensure a totally clean start? I'm thinking about going the "redownload" route just to force myself to only reinstall the apps I really want/use. If I do that, would restoring data through a batch restore in MyBackup Pro for apps that are no longer installed create any kind of conflict?

If I do save the .apks, when I restore those won't it fill up my internal memory quickly because those apps are not being moved to the SD card automatically? Maybe that's another advantage of downloading each app individually. It would allow me to manually move each app to the SD card so as to keep the used internal memory to a minimum.

I know that was long-winded. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Get Titanium Backup, backup all your apps to the sd card. They should all be in the Titanium folder on the card, so if you want to format the card too, be sure to copy that to a computer first.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threestripebrand:
+1

After formatting copy the titanium backup folder back to your SD card, pop back in phone,reinstall TB,restore apps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowboarda42:
And in order to wipe the phone, format/wipe everything you can in your recovery before you reflash CM7 and your Kernel. Make sure you don't wipe the titanium backup on your SD card on accident.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjbehren:
Thanks guys.

So Will Ti Backup put all the apps back to the SD card? I tried this once before with MyBackup Pro and my internal memory filled up because it failed to move to the SD Card automatically.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threestripebrand:
Depends, if you have dta2sd flashed before restoring then yes, if not you restore apps then move them to sdcard.

Here's the dta2sd thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715938

Flash rom,then gapps if applicable, then kernel if applicable, then dta2sd, Reboot ,download TB, restore apps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Yes, if you set it to do so. In preferences (under restoration settings) there's the option "restore backups to...". You can choose all internal, all external, default (some apps automatically install to SD, most don't), or you can restore each backup to wherever it was when you backed it up.

Having all of your apps (or even a lot of them) stored on the SD card could be causing your lag. Internal memory always beats an SD card when it comes to read/write speeds. There's no need to have 200 mb free on internal storage, it's just wasted space. I don't know how much you actually have free, that was just an example. Definitely keep your important apps and apps that are heavy on resources on internal, it'll keep some of the lag at bay.

After a full wipe, I always only restore the absolutely necessary apps, even though I restore them from TB. If I ever need an app that I didn't initially restore then I'll restore it. It's like having a brand new phone when you do it that way.

If you decide to use TB, you'll need to move the TB preferences file back to your SD card after formatting... or you can just set it up again. The preferences file is on your SD in data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup. Copy the entire folder back to your SD if you don't want to set it up again.

Though it's been covered, I'll do a quick run down.

Do a nandroid backup + any other backup you want.

Copy the contents of your SD card to your computer.

Format your SD card.

Move the files that you need back to your SD card. Rom, kernel, TB folder & preferences folder, nandroid, whatever you want

Assuming you're using Amon Ra, wipe boot, system, data, .android_secure, SD-ext, cache, and dalvik. Since you're starting fresh, I'd wipe them one or two more times.

Flash rom and whatever other files you need.

Restore what you want to restore.

:)

To help with lag, try increasing your VM heap size. You can do so with VM Heap Tool or Rom Toolbox. It'll help more than you'd think.

You can also try the V6 Supercharger script.

Good luck!

Yeah. I know I have way too much stuff on my phone. I have a ton of apps, mainly games. Damn you Amazon free app of the day! I usually roll with about 100MB or so of free internal memory.

So that being said, would you move the Dalvik-Cache to the SD? I have a 32GB Sandisk Class 4 SD card.

And it really seems you guys steer clear of MyBackUp Pro, huh? I've found it much easier to use than Ti Bu.

Thanks again for the advice.

Subject pretty much says it all... I have the regular desktop dock, and prior to rooting, the screen would stay on automatically by itself when the phone is in the dock. Ever since I rooted, the screen shuts off per the default time in Settings, even though the phone is docked.

Any ideas why this might be happening, and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance for any ideas and assistance!

I have a problem with my Galaxy Nexus turning OFF at night.

I goto bed at night and open the clock app and click the screen to dim it. When I wake up in the morning the phone is OFF. I have to pull the battery in order to boot. The battery is fully charged.

I returned the phone after this happened twice and received a brand new one. I have the same problem with this new device. I have changed the power socket and the charger yet still the problem persists.

Is anyone else experiencing similar problems?

I have Skype installed and running which maybe the cause. I will keep it OFF for the next few nights to see if this has a positive effect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dirk:
Try it without any off your apps installed. If the problem goes away you know it's an app causing the problem. Then start adding them back in batches until the problem re-occurs. Eventually you'll narrow the issue down to one app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mburris:
This is happening to me too.

At random times, the phone will refuse to wake from sleep.

Nothing but a battery pull will fix it.

I don't have skype installed.

Mine started today. Really hope this does not keep happening or I need to return this right away. Missed a few phone calls today and didnt realize until I looked down any my phone was just simply black. Will not wake up or do anything at all. You have to pull the battery. Right before this happened my data was dropping non stop about every 5 minutes for an hour.

I'm trying to stay calm because I love this phone, but between the data drops and the phone turning off im loosing patience quick.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timenudge:
This is happening to me as well. With TWO different phones. The first one I returned to Verizon and now its happening on the second one.

Phone will power off while doing random tasks. The two I've noticed is browsing on the stock browser and texting on the stock texting app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] magn2o:
I'm having the same problem. It's happened twice in the 3 days I've had the phone. It hasn't happened while I'm using it, both times it was when the screen was already off -- it just wouldn't waku up. Nothing short of pulling the battery, letting it sit, then powering on would work.

Couldn't have come at a worse time either, my daughter is in the hospital and I get updates from the surgeons via phone. So now I have to check every 5 minutes and make sure the phone is still on.

Phone is bone stock, out-of-the-box.

shock sensitive in the area right below the camera?

My device just "randomly" switches off (sometimes several times a day). After a long search for a reproducible cause, it seems safe to say that at least some devices seem to be extremely shock sensitive in the area right below the camera (on the back of the device). Even minuscule shocks to this area switch these devices off. Youtube-user 'jardinepatten' demonstrates this problem nicely in a video called "Galaxy Nexus Turning Off".

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
:DThought so.A csc is not carrier based its country based.For example Im in Spain and in use FOP on any network,KOR is korea standard and so on.You can flash a firmware with a multi-csc if that firmware is official in those countries.If not you get the csc for the valid country only.If you go to the link below you will see a list of all official firmwares.If you go even further below to the "FRANKENSTEIN SECTION" you will see more firmwares and a list of CSCs.You can flash a Frankenstein FW,factory reset your phone then if you want flash any of the CSCs you see there and do another factory reset to complete it.In my experience its not a good idea to flash another CSC to an official FW so thats why its best to choose a Frankenstein one which are just the same,just pimped-up by XDAs intratech.The other wat is to flash a custom ROM that has a multi CSC pack built in.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
Kies wont work from the CSC you on your phone.It will search for the latest update depending on the product code of your phone and if you flash a non-official firmware then it will say that the firmware that you have cannot be updated.If you want the official 2.3.5 then you need a factory unlocked SGS2 as they are usually the first to get updates and dont flash it with a non-oficiall FW.Flash a custom ROM if you wantIm on KI4-KK5 2.3.6 cos I have a custom ROM

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Kies reads a specific registry key to get the phone details like

I9000ADJP6/I9000O2UJP3/I9000ADJP3/I9000ADJP6

If Kies tries to match firmware to the above codes it would fail .

Dont worry to much about the antivirus coming up.Thats just the way your antivirus or firewalls is set.Happens every now and then but its not a virus so just download it anyway.Happened to me a few times,mostly when the file is an md5 file and not a tar file(both go in PDA in Odin too so no worries there).As for Kies I guess its a matter of flashing a compatable firmware that Kies will recognize for the update as normally it wont recognize non official ones.Or a custom ROM if you cant wait.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
CPW CSC is the best for UK networks as it covers more networks .

It has nothing to do with updates its only the CSC file that contains multiple network configurations more than the XEU csc does .

CSC is not actually required to use the phone .

[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Great developers are shy creatures, it depends on the environmental conditions and time of day for them to show up. You also have to be very quiet, you can try to increase your chances by setting up a bait.

Try using coffee, i have had good experience with that, but there are others who had good results with free tshirts.

tl:dr

There are no 'yellow pages' for that.

You can look here or in any other android developement related forum, just make a thread, but you will have to make an interesting offer.

You won't get people messaging you by just saying i'm looking for great developers ( ok you might, but those won't be the ones you are looking for).

State what you need and what you offer and why they should work for you.

Also what are "non-traditional developers"? Shaven ones with a healthy amount of sleep per night? ;p

To be honest also there are a lot of really talented devs working on the Tmobile G2X and SG2 right now, so take a loot at that:)
[General Questions and Answers] dorj1234:
Thanks for tips Dark3n I enjoyed reading your post :-)

To answer the question, it's kinda "if I tell you I have to kill you" syndrom, but the bait is

1. money (you can buy lots of coffee !)

2. I don't need nice windows and widgets and graphics yet, I need a bit of tcp sniffing and OS digging and dalvik VM interaction and measuring performance of activities. All of that is ethical of course.

The app will have major impact on the way big corporates can use android devices. I have been in the performance industry for many years, I know the major players and good devs have a chance to join something big right from the start

Big corporates = big money, but 1st I have to get the initial proof of concept working

Does that answer your question?
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Hehe wasn't really a question, rather bait to have you improve your thread ;-).

To reach your goal you could look for apps, that do something in that field of area where you think the dev did a good job and write them an email.
