[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
Yes it will erase your apps and data...if you are flashing a wipe ROM, but if you have a non wipe rom of your current ROM flashing of that wont erase...

you have made a back up which the process reached till MD5 check sum....that means that back should be there in your SD card from which you can restore your applications..

you go to recovery again and go to mout and storage and mout USB storage after connecting to the PC...check are you able to access the SD card and check clockworkmode folder and the backup file....if it is there then copy paste to PC.

if you are able to access SD Card then you can download another kernel or rom and paste on the SD card for flashing from CWM.

before flashing another ROM you can try changing your Kernel,

on which firmware are you currently?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skellyyy:
Hey guys - I'm back. I've had to use my girlfriends old Samsung Genio for a few days. Worst days of my life to say the least. :eek:

I need my SII back. A few days ago it wouldn't charge at all (hence not being able to get to CWM). But it seems to be doing just fine now. Although I've still got the same boot-loop. I've mounted the SD card, and found the backups - they contain these files:

Are these all the necessary files to restore? I'm very wary.

Also, if I do flash a different ROM, how will that have the data from my previous ROM if the new ROM doesn't have the apps?

If I do end up restoring, will that restore everything? I mean settings, SMS, app preferences, widgets, app data (Twitter drafts especially) and stuff like that?

Just want to be safe before I go and ruin things. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skellyyy:
Btw could all this be due to the lack of free space on the phone? Seems like there is no space whatsoever. Finder is claiming there is 'Zero bytes' available. Surely that can't be good.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skellyyy:
Bump. I really don't know what I should be doing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.MacHack:
A full cwm backup contains of:

- .android_secure.vfat.tar

- boot.img

- cache.ext4.tar

- data.ext4.tar

- nandroid.md5

- system.ext4.tar

If you do a full cwm backup, all youre data (Apps, Contacts, Sms, Settings and so on) will be safed :)

After restoring a cwm backup you will get exactly that system, which you had before flashing, bricking :D or whatever.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skellyyy:
Thanks for that! But do you know if I'd be able to fully restore even if I don't have all of the files? It seems that there is two missing from the CWM folder for me. :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.MacHack:
Yes I think it should work for you :)

Well guys,

I think I found out how to only use the companion core LOL.

I use the cpu utility and have since it has been released and I know that it works well. I am able to see frequency and load per core.

I was messing around in setcpu (using motley 2.3 kernel) and when I set my maximum frequency to 475mhz only one core gets loaded. Core one in fact is the only one to show that it is working. I have ran a few benchmarks like antutu that normally show all four cores being loaded and still only one shows up.

Give it a shot. Maybe better battery life? Just thought it was interesting that we may have some control after all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
insane battery life probably but real world use might make it impractical
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
Companion core for the win! Now I have the number 1 spot on antutu and the last spot haha.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
you sir are a boss!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
I would say it is fairly impracticable. About as bad as running ics on the og Droid right? Running 620mhz @ 1 core.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] qery:
Interesting idea. I used antutu cpu master free and it worked fine.

After few small tests I think it's pretty usable - for twitter/facebook/etc. It's even possible to play games (defender ii) at 1core @ 475mhz, but web browsing is really really slow :D.

edit: Oh I got even less score in antutu - only 2048 :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NeoteriX:
This makes sense as the nVidia whitepaper on the Tegra 3 indicates that that the switchover to the low power core happens at 500 Mhz:

http://www.nvidia.com/content/PDF/tegra_white_papers/tegra-whitepaper-0911b.pdf

Try playing video with just the low power core -- that is supposedly one of the key use cases for the low power core since in theory, all of the heavy video decoding is supposed to be offloaded to the GPU and/or enhanced instruction sets.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
Video works great.

Just played The Big Bang Theory.

720p .mkv files through DICE player, works great!

Hi all,

I'm an inspire noob running exist's 4.0.3 asopX version 26 and he recently said that he was going to update us to 4.0.4 for version 27. My question is can I back up what i have to the sd card, do a reset, then recover everything using 4.0.4? Or will i need to do a wipe and manually put stuff back on?

thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
As Long as the recovery you are using is compatible with your backup, then you can restore it with any Rom you are running. Backups from CWM are not always compatible with 4EXT recovery and vice versa
[HTC Inspire 4G] young440:
OK. Got it. Thanks a bunch

Sent from my Inspire
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
I don't think glevitan understood your question correctly, or maybe I don't. I took it you want to back up your apps and such, not the ROM version itself. And to restore everything back on the 4.0.4 version. This has nothing to do with clockwork or 4EXT recovery.

If he releases the 4.0.4 ROM as an update and does not require a full wipe then just install it over top of the 4.0.3 ROM. Most of the time the DEV requires a full wipe though.

Usually it is best to do a full wipe and restore user data with a backup app like Titanium Backup. But you only want to backup and restore user apps. Restoring system data can really mess your ROM up severely. Google contacts will resync when signed in.
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
haha Now that I see your reply I guess that I didn't get what he was asking...well, he will come back and get what he wants or will ask again...:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
I will say, no matter how inconsequential it seems, DO. NOT. RESTORE. SYSTEM. DATA. between major android versions. Let me refine that. I back up my playlists using Titanium Backup. I figured this was an insignificant thing and restored it when I moved from CoreDroid to aospX. Firstly, it didn't restore my playlists; secondly, I had to factory reset the phone < 1 day later.

That said, I WILL be restoring playlists and contacts going from AR26 -> AR27. I'll report either here or in the dev thread if it causes problems, but I have 6 g(mail | apps) accounts plus my FB account, and it takes me a considerable amount of time to get the duplicates regrouped.

Hope I helped. BTW, the free version of TiBU is pretty good, you just have to confirm every install. To me, it was worth it to get the pay version so that I could restore all my apps without confirming every one (right now I have 45-50, that's a lot of confirmations). It's also nice to be able to back out of a buggy new version of an app, or to be able to go back if you don't like the new version (I'm looking at you, FB.)
[HTC Inspire 4G] young440:
oh i see now. looks like i really lucked out cuz i flashed AR27 and his 4.0.4 then did a recovery. I thought it was a bit odd that it still said 4.0.3 so I came back here. Doh! okie dokie. I'm redoing a wipe and clean install and I'll just push all of my apps back from my google account.

Thanks for all the pointers about Tia Backup

I really appreciate all the help guys but I've flashed both the InspireMod 0.5 and the one you both provided the link for. Unfortunately it still doesn't record sound. I am trying to send a message via MMS by recording it. But when I push record it gives me an error of Internal Application Error. I'll try downloading different apps to see how they work. Its just kinda odd the stock recorder doesn't work

Thank you all for your help.

[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK007:
what are you using to attempt to record sound?

edit: nevermind, didnt read enough.
[HTC Inspire 4G] young440:
Yeah I'd post in his development thread but I'm just a noob trying to rack up the posts.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK007:
You should have placed this in the ICS Q/A thread. Do NOT use the development thread for questions. thats why the restriction is in place, so people learn the ropes a bit before they are allowed in there. I would redownload and do a full wipe and reflash. And try to record your mms BEFORE you put all your apps and stuff back on there. Need a clean environment before you can dig deeper into this. Only thing you should put on after installing is inspiremod before doing your mms test. Id love to help test with ya, but i always remove the default mms apk from my phone :/
[HTC Inspire 4G] young440:
OK. Now I know. Which messaging app do you use?

[HTC Inspire 4G] young440:
Well I downloaded go SMS just for $hits and the problem is still there. It just doesn't run with the stock recorder. I also downloaded tape-a-talk and that worked like a charm. Its when I try to record a sound or message right before sending it as s MMS. I also am on AR28. XDA has me addicted to screwing with my phone now :D

I use SMS backup and restore for my text messages. Titanium backup works well for apps, sometimes it can be corrupted when restoring though. I think more of a rom problem.

Yea, I know. They usually only mean it for PC/Mac and nothing else. Unless its iTunes than it can be used on iPods and such
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Step One, DVD decryption. You have two choices:

1. Purchase a program called 'ANYDVD'. This will run in the background, automatically removing DRM from dvds on the fly.

www.slysoft.com

It costs 120 Euros for the HD version for a lifetime membership (which admittedly is pricey) or 70 Euros for the standard version (I believe the difference being that the HD version supports Blu-Ray, DVD and locked CDs, the standard only supports DVD and locked CDs).

2. Alternatively, you can use DVDFab which rather than working on the fly, will copy the disk to your hard drive, removing the decryption as it copies. Oh, and its free.

http://www.videohelp.com/tools/DVDFab-Decrypter

Step two Converting

Then, go get Handbrake, a free open source tool for video conversion. point it to either the disk if you went the AnyDVD route or point it to your copied dvd on your hard drive if you went the DVDFab route, then set your resolution (there is no reason to go any higher than the Notes' screen resolution) and convert away.

http://handbrake.fr/

The conversion time is usually equal or less than the length of the movie. For me personally, on a 2 year old computer, I can convert a 3 hour movie in about 2 hours.

Easy Peesy.

At the bottom of my lock screen, that is what is displayed. I know that CDMA references Verizon's type of communication as opposed to GSM. I'm curious primarily what the 64 means.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agraceful:
I believe it refers to the amount of informational data (digital signal) it can transfer at once 64kbs.. That's how cdma networks work in case you didn't know :)

-if you want to change it you have to edit the eri.xml file in the xml folder found in framework-res.apk

Interesting... But that doesn't sound like something we would want to dive into without having read up on how to do this safely... Got any idea on where we could read up on changing this setting, and possibly the theoretical/optimal setting for Verizon?

First time flashing to ICS? see THIS post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24028398&postcount=683

Installation Instructions:

You must be running a kernel with CWM.

1) Place the AnaKonda Rom.zip on your SD card.

2) Power off your phone.

3) Boot into CWM.

4) Perform a wipe Cache, and Dalvik-cache. Now in Mounts and Storage perform format/system. Now wipe data (factory reset). You can also perform Calks wipe all zip (found here: http://xdaforums.com/atta...2&d=1330705940) if you want but not needed.

5) Select "install zip from file" and navigate to and select the zip.

6) When it finishes flashing, go back and select "reboot system now". The first boot will take a couple minutes. Subsequent boots will be much faster.

Warning: Do NOT restore system data with Titanium Backup. Do NOT restore ALL apps with data. If you absolutely must restore something with Titanium Backup, only restore MISSING apps with data.

7. If you DID NOT download the rom to your pc, and dl to your phone and there's a problem, try dl to your pc FIRST before you whine that its a bad dl.​

A little Q and A:​

Q: How do I get the Cosmic wallpaper to work?

A: Select set livewallapers. Select cosmic wallpaper. Lower left click select wallpaper. Then select which awesome color you want. Click ok and your done!

Q: This so and so doesn't work...

A: REALLY? Are you sure? Because it worked for all the testers and ME. What did YOU do to create the event? Did you try a backup that borked things? Do you have a logcat? Have you cleared the apps data etc and reboot. Come on, help YOU help YOURSELF...

Q: What the hell is Odex Me?

A: A small program that will odex your system apps and make your phone FLY!! Once you do this though, you can't theme your system. You will have to do a full wipe and go back to the ORIGINAL rom to un odex. Just an fyi. Go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1514576 for more info...

Q: What modem comes with this?

A: None that I know of

Q: I have an exchange account and the email is syncing fine, but it isnt syncing the calendar............is anyone else having this issue or know of a fix?

A: Originally Posted by cknuth, "I have had trouble getting my calendar to sync on every ics build. App from the market called "haxsync" fixed it right up. Worth a shot?"

Q: What kernel and modem work with this?

A: ANY gb or ics modem works on an ICS rom believe it or not (I prefer EL29 myself), gb kernels though WILL not work on a ICS rom. I suggest any ICS kernel starting with FC15 on up... your mileage may vary...

Q: How do I flash this?

A: See Post 2

Q: Does this require a full wipe?

A: See Post 2

Q: How do I flash if coming from gb?

A: See Post 2

Q: What all is in this?

A: See Post 2

Q: What kind of rom is this?

A: See Post 2

Q: What is fc24 and what does it mean?

A: Its the build number from Samsung/Sprint (built the 24th day of march) for the rom you are using

Q: My notifications stop working after a call

A: DO NOT EXIT. After hitting END allow the phone program to exit itself. If thats to complicated then pull the battery and reboot..

Q: My GPS won't lock

A: REALLY? Hmmm, maybe it and the moons are not aligned correctly? There's so many workarounds on these boards about this that I suggest SEARCH button. I do know certain modems work better on some phones than others... and YES the modems are all over the boards too... SEARCH

Q: Why does the mirror say v1_2? Is it not the same rom??

A: No its the same, it just uploaded that way. It's still v1​
