Greetings from China ...

Greetings from China ...

Your apps are not stored on your SD card, either external or internal. They are stored in the root data directory; however, when you get a new device, this directory is empty.

If my memory is correct, when you first set-up your gmail account (necessary to access Google Play), one of the options is to keep your device backed-up with your account. There's a check-box that you need to enable. If enabled, your device should eventually, and automatically, install all your apps from the market (only those you've purchased ... free ones do not get installed ... well, that's what I believe). I usually do NOT check this box because I don't want to wait for all the apps to download and install from Google Play. For me, it takes far too much time.

Instead, what I do is install them individually from my external SD card. To do this, once you have all your apps installed from the market, go into your device and copy the root data directory to your external SD card. Then, if you ever get a new device, you simply go into that directory and install them one-by-one. It's much faster than waiting for them to automatically install from the market.

Once you have everything installed, including having rooted your device and installed recovery, you can then follow the procedures in this post to save an incredible amount of time ...

Well after I wrote that out I read that the newest build had some wifi issue and i found the custom kernel with updated drivers, flashed it and everything is good now but google wallet still doesnt work and contacts keeps crashing now.

Also another thing I noticed, on 7.20 mms does not work when receiving but with 7.22 stock messaging app it works fine.

Peter,

I remember it somewhat differently! There was a box you can check, I remember that, but I also remember that it installed ALL apps and not just the purchased ones, after setting up your google account on your phone! I know that for a fact, because I only bought 3 apps, ever since using android but it installed way more than 3 apps automatically... I also just setup another email account of mine, but there is no box to check for backups. Only contacts, calendar, gmail, google photos, google play books and internet?!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:
You're right ...

You're right! I re-flashed a ROM after wiping everything, just to see what happens when you reach the initial set-up screen. Here's what you get:

1) WELCOME SCREEN: Allows you to input your choice language, and then you click START

2) DATE & TIME SCREEN: Allows you to select automatic or manual time (this does not always appear)

3) MAKE IT GOOGLE SCREEN: Allows you to select SIGN IN, GET AN ACCOUNT, or NOT NOW. If you select SIGN IN, you will probably get your Wifi account screen where you select the appropriate Wifi account, and then input your password. Now press NEXT.

4) BACKUP & RESTORE SCREEN: This is the one you want. It presents the following information:

Use your Google account to back up your apps, settings (such as bookmarks and Wi-Fi passwords), and other data. If you previously backed up your account, you can restore it to this phone now.

You can change your backup settings any time in Settings.

You then have the following two option boxes:

a) Restore from my Google Account to this phone

b) Keep this phone backed up with my Google Account

Select BOTH boxes if you want all your apps to automatically download and install, which should begin almost immediately.

5) RESTORING SCREEN: You will get a note saying, "Your phone is contacting Google to restore your account. This can take up to 5 minutes."

6) USE GOOGLE LOCATION SCREEN: You have two option boxes. I usually have both checked.

7) THIS PHONE BELONGS TO SCREEN: This screen may or may not appear. If it does, as it did for me, you have the option to enter your name, or it may already be filled in.

8) SETUP COMPLETE SCREEN: Click on FINISH

The important step is #4. Note, however, that once you complete the initial set-up process, there is no longer an option anywhere to re-select the options to automatically download and install apps. However, and I have never done this because I have only one google account, if you set-up a new or second account, you may, in fact, be presented with the same options.

You're also right about both free and paid apps. They are all installed, although, I'm not sure of the installation rule. I say this because I have, over the years, downloaded and installed about 300 apps, which are all listed in Google Play under MY APPS>ALL. However, it seems to install only a percentage of these apps. I don't know how it knows which ones to install. Perhaps it's somehow linked with the device as some apps may not be compatible so they are ignored. All I can say is, after going through the entire procedure this evening (China time), all apps were installed, including a few that I haven't used in quite a while ... but many apps from a long time ago were not installed.

To repeat, you will ONLY get the set-up screen if you WIPE everything FIRST, and then flash your new ROM. If you flash without wiping, the initial set-up screen usually does not appear.

I hope this helps.

Got the latest build from http://jdbeitz.usgalaxys3.com/8.03.12.zip

Two things I noticed:

1. I dismissed the dropbox popup since I already got my 50GB and then my status bar wouldn't pull down. A reboot solved this.

2. The battery charged notification is back.

Otherwise, things are working smoothly. I'm loving the 15 toggles :)

Yes, you should be able to use my BLUE them, which includes the blue circle battery mod; however, you will lose your 15-Toggle Mod (working on it). I had to remove the BLACK theme because I was having too many annoying glitches (also working on it).

Okay, let's try to sleep again.

Dropbox worked for me. This links tells you how. (GS3 people will be d/ling the file whose link is included in article).

http://www.cincygeek.com/2012/07/how-to-get-50-gb-dropbox-on-your-new-samsung-galaxy-s3/

It involves changing a couple of files (easy) and Step 2 is going on line to the special Dropbox link they send you and watching the tutorial or a couple of other easy tasks. Once you complete them, you get the extra 50gb. Don't forget to hit the thank you button when you get it. I must say it worked like a charm.

Peter,

you helped me a lot! What did it for me was the fact that I can go to google play and see all the apps I ever installed. That is pretty much all I needed. An automatic install of all my apps would have been nice but is really not necessary! I am happy to have found them all and that is what counts!!! One more thing; On my phone, Android version 4.0.4, it has a tab under settings - back up and reset, where you can check back up my data and automatic restore!!! how cool is that! now you can do it even after the initial setup! thanks for all the help! couldn't have done it without you... at least not for a while... :p

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] i386W7:
I dont have root explorer, but I do have solid explorer (LINK)

Try this;

1) Download Solid Explorer (Link above - FREE!)

2) Navigate to the file you want to change the permissions of

-In this case its "/system/app/Dropbox.apk" with others..

3) Hold the file you want to change permissions of and wait for a new menu to pop up

4) Tap on "Properties"

5) Scroll down, under "Attributes", tap "Change".

6) Next to "Group", under "Write", uncheck so it looks like this:

7) Tap "Ok"

EDIT--

Sorry for the huge picture.. Screenshot..

One thing that shouldn't be too much trouble for me is changing the data icons. I will prepare two BLUE themes, one with just LTE for LTE connections, and one as it is now, with the 4GLTE AT&T version. However, there's one thing that I can't seem to figure out. While either icon works for me when I'm connected to LTE, it seems that for others who don't have LTE, they either get an LTE icon, or the 4GLTE icon, and both would be incorrect under the circumstances. Therefore, there's always the option to do a third version of the BLUE theme, with proper icons for those who only have a 3.5G connection (some call it 4G, but it's not).

Any suggestions?
