[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Thijs96:
I figured there was no tool or script to backup the most essential partition on your Tab 10.1, so I decided to make a script that does one thing, and one thing only.

It makes a backup of the /efs partition.

This is for the Tab 10.1 (P7500) only! Don't run it on any other device, or you might get some strange results when restoring it.

I am not responsible for anything you do to your device. If your cat starts overheating when your doorbell rings, IT IS NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY.

Now, on to the real thing.

I haven't tested the restore function and there is none as of yet. When people need it, I'm willing to take a look at it but restoring this partition is always risky.

Making a backup is strongly recommended though.

You should get an output similar to this picture, which shows the needed steps as well.

Requirements:

- A rooted Tab 10.1

- Busybox

- Terminal emulator, adb or a scripting app.

Here's what you need to do:

1. Download the script, unzip it and place efs_backup.sh on the root of your sdcard.

2. Enter the following command in the terminal: 'su'

3. A prompt will appear, press 'Allow'

4. Enter 'chmod 755/sdcard/efs_backup.sh'

5. Enter 'sh /sdcard/efs_backup.sh'

6. All done! It is wise to upload your file, /sdcard/efsbackup/efsbackup.img, to a cloud service like Dropbox to make sure you don't lose your backup.

Now remember, this is only for the P7500 and the P7510. If requested, I am willing to port it to other devices as well.

I'll try to make an app for this, but for now you can use this script.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] AnakTeKa:
whats different with

cat /proc/mounts
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/efs.img

and i think its working with P7501 too
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Thijs96:
There is no difference, I never said there was. This is just a scripted version.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] KinkyGolab:
can u make a restore script to?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] fusionjack:
Basically, you just need to switch the content of 'if' and 'of' to restore it (correct me if I'm wrong). But...ONLY restore it if you have REALLY problem with IMEI!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Thijs96:
True, but I won't let people mess with their phones this way unless they absolutely need it. So there won't be a restore script until someone loses his efs data.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] fusionjack:
Agreed. Additionally, I made a .tar.gz backup for my efs with this following command:

/system/xbin/busybox tar zcvf /sdcard/efsbackup.tar.gz /efs​

The reason I made this backup just in case if .img file cannot be restored.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Thijs96:
Might add that too, having a secondary backup is never a bad plan.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development] Thijs96:
Uploaded version 1.1. Changelog available in the OP.

MICROSOFT HAS ACCEPTED V1.2 AND AVAILABLE NOW!

So what is Speechy and where is it going? At first, it was meant to be extremely easy and basically idiot proof but strictly a Voice-to-Voice Translator to give you the ability to speak and have it re-speak in your desired language but after testers have given back a LOT of feedback and how they think this program would be more desirable, we've reluctantly have added the features but not going away from what we originally wanted... Super easy UI that instructions would seem like an insult.

As we know the UI isn't pretty or look like most App's but we've gotten the same feedback that has assured us that adding more features and the way we've done it... Still makes Speechy very easy to use while adding more features to inspire others to download.

For us, 1.2 is a big update! Speechy 1.2 with faster translation (17x) but now with Text Translation (New) with also 'What'd I Say?' (New) to remember what you said or select "*** ENGLISH ***" (New) to have it speak and type in English.

Also, OCR Translation is in Speechy 1.2 (Currently in Pro ONLY until free edition testing done) and will let you snap a photo, say you're at a foreign airport looking for Gate C, just AIM and shoot at signs/documents for translation and it will even speak the translated item(s).

See the Screen Shots for more details & remember, it's FREE but also the other features found in the Pro will eventually carry over after testing like we do for each edition (Can't wait, upgrade to Pro for $0.99 or try the Trial).

Free: Download from WP7 Marketplace (1.2 Current) - NEW!

Pro: Download from WP7 Marketplace (1.1 Current; 1.2 Pending).

i've built ubuntu 12.04 arm chroot image and it worked great! But i'm stuck with dbus scripts;
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bfmetcalf:
By the way. Is this a theme or an actual Ubuntu distro on your tab?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] t%20g:
bfmetcalf thanks:)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] t%20g:
It is ubuntu12.04 arm LXDE customised to look in that way, i have built a chroot image(of 3.5GB making more space for packages) from core and added Lxde window manager to it.:)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bfmetcalf:
That is awesome. I enjoyed Ubuntu when it was on 10.10 with gnome 2. Now I'm running arch with nothing but openbox. Love the minimalism of it all, ha. How did you get it installed on the tab if I can ask? I'm not a total noob, but still no expert on all of that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] t%20g:
I use linux mint 12 on pc. I simply love it.

This is a non-risky process called "chrooting" or sometimes "chroot virtualisation" :

*android will be running as usual and by terminal emulator we need to start ubuntu shell(by mounting ubuntu's filesystem somewhere to android filesystem)

*but the actual problem is android lacks xserver:( workaround is vnc

*so, when we we get ubuntu shell, from that run vncserver and use vnc viewer app on android to connect loopback address127.0.0.1

*then we get gui

If somebody can show how to repartition /sdcard to make an ext4 partition then this will go even better.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bfmetcalf:
That is awesome! I may have to try it at some point. For now though, my transformer works great and I just don't have the time.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] t%20g:
i have rooted my device and installed busybox too.

'fdisk -l' doesnt list any thing,,,,

If it can list then i want to find out 13.2GB vfat partition i.e mounted at /sdcard, shrink to make space for another ext2 partition (ext2 bcoz mkfs.ext2 command is working from busybox, )

Then need to place ubuntu ARM files in that for better performance
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dextroamphetamine:
I heard there is a noticeable amount of lag because of all the work arounds, is this true? I've wanted to install a linux distro on my tab for some time. What method did you use? Could I use it to install say Arch Linux with no UI and just SSH into it?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] t%20g:
Yes you are right, there is a considerable amount of delay/lag due to these workarounds.

Zedomax has given scripts to do it in an easier way,(thanks to him) which i used for ubuntu12.04

Currently there are some experts porting xserver to android(its almost done) www.androix.org , so I hope for it.

Till that happens easy for noobs like me, we use workarounds in a betterway, we can minimise lag to the extent we will be surprise.

>Since our /sdcard is not any ext* filesystem, so we need to create an virtual harddisk containing ext filesystem(as we do in virtualbox)

# So created ext4 filesystem which is faster than ext2

>prefer building ubuntu/arch from core, and install packages that are essential, so no place for buggy things which are not required

>use lxde which is light weight DE, runs faster than gnome,kde

>I even able to access android's /sdcard from ubuntu by adding a line to scripts (mount -o bind /sdcard $mnt/sdcard) so no need to use ssh workaround

>as there is no xserver support in android(cureently),we use vncserver

#need faster ui, set smaller display size which minimises traffic b/w viewer and server, like i did 800x800 geometry and hold it in portrait, using the bottom portion of screen for keyboard(recommended "hackers keyboard") i used official RealVnc which i dont recommend bcoz it isnt free.

How can we do much more better.

>if we can create ext4 partition by shrinking down /sdcard partition then it will be amazingly fast, believe me I tried it on N900(nokia internet tablet) so I imagined what this sgt 10.1 with dualcore 1GHz and 1 GB ram can do compared to that!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] yogeshmha:
Need a native install
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] t%20g:
Yes it is very easy one,

Lagging is only for using gui... practically there is no lag for running arch shell by android's terminal emulator,

Google it for "archlinux chroot on android" and follow the guide

Or if you wanna build one for yourself:

1)Get official ARM arch, may be from here http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms

2)understand and follow this excellent guide by making some changes

Http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1302630

Yes you can run SSH, if it is just for sharing files between android and archlinux, just mount your android's /sdcard also to archlinux

On first run:

mkdir $<your-mount-point>/sdcard

Later on:

mount -o bind /sdcard $<your-mount-point>/sdcard
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] t%20g:
Native one is a risky process, and we may lose some functionality such as 3G, Camera,Wifi and multi touch etc. But it will be awesome.

canonical announced official ubuntu port coming to smartphones and tablets, so I hope for it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] yogeshmha:
if thats the case...i would recommend a dual boot for honecomb and ubuntu :D

Someone earlier posted a seidio code for 15% off and while I was just browsing I noticed Seidio FINALLY released some cases made to fit with the Verizon 2100mah extended battery WITH the backing on. None of this ghetto battery cover off business!

I searched but haven't found any info. Has anyone gone ahead yet and bought one (Surface, Convert) yet? Is the fitment just as great as the standard one? I have a Verizon TPU case that fits the extended battery just great, but I've been waiting for a hard case that will fit for a while now.

http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-lte-s/7381.htm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nxxx:
I have not tried the new seidio case. However, I am currently using the Seidio Surface and I've managed to squeeze the original VZW ext. battery into it.

You can fit it in there by:

1. Put the ext. battery in the back

2. Put the ORIGINAL BACK on the Nexus (I know it won't completely close)

3. Snap the case on

Ta Da! It works! :D

BTW this is my first post. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] czechm8:
I just got my Convert Value pack for the LTE 2100 mah battery today.

So far I like it a lot. The Surface case fits perfectly and adds little to the size.

The Convert case is a silicon skin with an exoskeleton that fits over the Surface case. I was interested in this for those times when you need extra protection for outdoor activities. This thing is very durable and I can't imagine how the phone wouldn't survive some serious punishment! It even had a silicon shield for the camera lens that folds down for taking pictures.

The value pack also comes with a screen protector, but I haven't decided if I'll use it yet.

I would recommend the Seiko cases.

Btw, I posted the JAN2012 15% off code.

Hey thanks for the review. Let us know after a week or two if the surface case on the inside scratches your phone. I want one but the one I had for my nexus s scratched my phone up badly. The design has rough edges inside where the two parts snap on the seam. Also this case for other models in the past has been a little too small causing the corners to rub and scuff up the phone as well.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] czechm8:
I really don't see how that could happen with this case. It fits tight and I don't feel any edges along the internal seam that could scratch anything. There is also a velour covering all along the inside of the back piece.

It's rather hard to get apart once you snap it on the phone - which is a good thing!

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
Good to hear about the improved build quality. Also worried as the extra bulk of the extended battery (gsm) might put stress on the corners and induce those scuffs. Thinking of getting one of these. I will definitely be inspecting the inside of these prior to install.

Czechm8, would you mind reporting back anyway about interior damage if you find anything? Most interested in the corners and the areas near where the volume and power button cutouts are. Those are where my nexus s got scratched.

The case has a soft silicon layer...does this attract dust like the otterbox does? That could be a killer for me.

I use the Seidio Active w/Kickstand (original release) with my VZW version with the extended back and I haven't had a problem.

I do know that the regular Surface case won't work with the extended battery cover.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ImprezaRose:
They have made a surface and convert case that specifically fits with the extended battery as is mentioned In previous posts here. My question was does the soft silicon "2nd" layer collect dust like the otterbox does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrischoi:
I'm assuming the CDMA/GSM are the same size? So it should work with the GSM version as well? Can anyone confirm?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ImprezaRose:
They are not exactly the same size. I believe their website has different cases for the different models. If they don't call their customer care.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ImprezaRose:
I received my Seidio Covert case for the extended battery today and to answer my own question for those thatbmight want to know in the future. Yes the rubber portion attracts dust like a swiffer. But overall I love the case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] extensive:
It stops attracting dust after awhile
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asianrage:
Correct, due to the oils that get rubbed into the silicone by our fingers.
