[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kourin:
I was reading FadedLite's Guide to root the Nexus 7, and one of the commentors posted that you should create a nandroid backup and bootable image after installing CWM but before adding SU. I'm not entirely sure what the purposes of these backups would be, but anyone can download the factory image from google here. So is a nandroid backup really necessary?:confused:

This is my first post on xda (although I've been here since March and have rooted 2 devices already) so I'm really hoping I posted this correctly.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taysider:
I would say, and a lot of XDA users will tell ALWAYS make a backup. Although there might be factory image at Google backing up your own system is a very good idea.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unlawful:
Well, it's not necessary but it's always that just in case notion. I mean what about that slim chance that your USB port was not working and it suddenly stopped working properly?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkRyoushii:
I make nandroid backups only when I'm testing new ROMs and PLAN to go back to my original. I made a nandroid backup of my Galaxy S III stock ROM and then tried out jelly bean, once I was sick of it I switched back to the stock ROM because it worked obviously :P
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kourin:
I was just thinking that a backup stored locally would take up a lot of the tablet's very limited space. As long as you can boot into recovery, couldn't I just store it on another device and move the file over while in recovery? While there is a chance of usb malfunction, it is a slim chance... then again I have already perma-bricked one of my devices already, but that was an issue trying to install cwm so I couldn't have made a backup anyways.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r4d14n7:
Well, if your USB port goes, wifi or Bluetooth transfer would allow you to transfer your backup over. Unless you also don't have a bootable rom at the same time.

Nandroids are huge but it might be a good idea to have a working flashable build on internal memory at all times so you can boot up and transfer stuff.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unlawful:
Koush is developing a new CWR that creates TINY backups, I have no clue how he does it but he does.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
unless you are running pure stock from google or a full final rom like cyanogen final, you should always have a backup.

You can download the image, but you lose ALL of your data. A nandroid backup keeps your apps and data.

A nandroid backup of ICS/JB is around 1.5-2GB in size. and yes that is a huge file size. And yes you can remove it from the device and put it back on. i STRONGLY recommend copying the entire directory and then erasing the individual files from your device so you don't forget where they're suppose to go.

If you are planning on doing custom roms or any root activity a nandroid is basically required.

Going to update to a new release? nandroid.

going to install a new theme, boot animation, metamorph? nandroid.

Are the chances small that something will go wrong? yes. But if it does, do you really want to have to redo EVERYTHING on your device?

I do a backup once a week on my galaxy nexus through clockwork mod that way i don't ever have to worry about something going wrong. restore the backup and at the most i'm back to where i was 7 days before.

Also, with USB-OTG you can connect the nexus 7 to a portable hard drive and store your backups there.

Not all flashable zips wipe the device. I actually find it very annoying when devs add wiping to their zips. I flash without wiping a lot and rarely have problems.

I updated Bada 1.2 to Bada 2 through Kies.

Now I wish to install a custom rom. But in case something goes wrong, i should be having Bada 2 firmware to flash again. I searched extensively for Bada 2 firmware for Wave GT-S8500. I could downloaf zip from Sammobile. But while opening the file i get a mesaage "the file you are trying to open is either not an archive or is damaged". Without backup Bada 2, i cannot go ahead with custom rom.

Could anyone provide me with Bada 2 zip?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arty_Harvy:
Hey guys. First post ever here. I am looking for a ROM for my wifes Epic 4g that will include a completely stock ICS, but with all the touch wiz stuff.

For example, I am running ICSense Deck V.4 (Android 4.0.3 with Sense 3.6) on my EVO 3D. There is no indication that it is a custom ROM because it has such a stock feel, but still very smooth, and everything works.

So I guess I would be looking for something similar to what the E4GT recently recieved OTA. Anyone have any ideas?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazfanatic:
The OG Epic 4g with keyboard will never have a stock ICS the only thing you might be able to do is theme it. If you are looking for a updated FC09 stock ROM with all the bells and whistles look at TPR (The Peoples Rom). The only ICS we can offer you is CM9 or AOKP I don't think there are any others if there are I apologies.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
RemICS is what I think about. It's a touchwiz themed ics. It looks pretty stock but not stock for this phone originally.

[General Questions and Answers] Glas67:
I've seen a couple of videos on youtube about doing a root on these pads. I have 1 coming during the week, here is some of the technical spec for it...

Real Android 2.3 system, Flytouch 3 upgrade version

CPU VC882 Embedded 800MHz~1GHz ARM Cortex A8 32-bit processor core

I'm not sure of the exact make.

Is it really as simple as it seems on the youtube videos i.e install LauncherPro and select USB debugging option, then installing z4root, and that will be the device rooted?

Also, I downloaded the z4root.apk file on to my pc, but would I be better just downloading the .apk file straight on to the tablet via the browser rather than trying to transfer it from my pc?

Also, once installed, is it possible to upgrade the OS from 2.3 to a later version?

Sorry for the basic noobish questions, and thanks for any help you can give :good:

Are deodexed ROMs able to work with Link2SD ? Or Link2SD supports only odexed ROMs ?

Are deodexed ROMs faster than odexed ?
[HTC Wildfire S] umair42:
1) You can use LINK2SD with deodexed roms.I'm using it for 2 months.

2) I saw some people saying odexed roms are faster and smoother than deodexed.
[HTC Wildfire S] jsthorpe:
I've ran a bunch of different ROM's on my Wildfire S. Some were CM7, some were CM9, some were odexed, some were de-odexed.

Odexed ROM's have the odex files in the APK's, making it technically faster, but harder to mod.

De-odexed ROM's have had the odex files removed from the APK's and stored seperately, making it technically slower but easier to make modifications, as you do not have to decompile APK's to change them.

Link2SD had no problems with any of the ROM's in my experience, and despite the technical jiggery-pokery, its been my experience that after initial boot after flashing, de-odexed ROM's are actually quicker. So much for theory, huh?
[HTC Wildfire S] miso00:
I am not sure but I think you made a mistake. Deodexed ROM have the odex files in APK and Odexed ROM have odex files seperately, according to me.
[HTC Wildfire S] jsthorpe:
It's one or the other. I don't like to get bogged down with all the low-level technical ****, someone else can do that, it doesn't interest me much.
[HTC Wildfire S] Tigger31337:
Link2SD will definitely support both odex and de-odex ROMs.

You won't notice any speed difference between the two, but you will notice a HUGE space savings (internal memory) with odex ROMs. The only downfall, as someone mentioned, is that odex'ed ROMs are harder to theme (but not impossible).
[HTC Wildfire S] AceRoom:
This is correct:
[HTC Wildfire S] miso00:
Thank you all for your answers. Especially to Tigger.
[HTC Wildfire S] AceRoom:
Reodexing is really easy and gives you space, especially if you don't plan on theming it. (CM themes chooser still works).

Hi All,

I'm new to the android community moving from a iPhone. Now I purchased the Samsung galaxy s3 2 weeks ago. I was wondering is there any way to remove the carrier splashscreen on boot and shut down screen. I purchased this in the UK from the carrier three. . and to be honest I can't stand it the damn splashscreen. I have rooted my device but just can't find a way to remove the splashscreen.

also i heard there's a way to remove the bloatware from it, it seems that when looking at my ram using its never below 400 despite me going to task manger and clearing the memory. I'm assuming its all the bloatware on the phone that's using it up right?

Would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. :)

Thanks
