This image comes on a t-shirt sold here, and I think it would be an awesome boot animation. Unfortunately, I do not possess that kind of artistic skill. My imagination does, however my hands do not.

I've imagined a few scenarios. One with the typical Android logo appearing in the center and fading to this guy who then displays his message.

OR

Android R2 comes on screen and displays the message.

Anyone up for the challenge? Maybe something you create will be better than what my imagination has come up with.

Hey guys! me again!

The thing is... I have the Optimus MAX v2 ROM by omer and this ROM include 2 themes (LG themes)

And I want to made my own theme, I hate the icons of LG on status bar, and the system icon, like camera, I think this seems like a ugly toy :o
[LG Optimus Black] ErnuB:
On main (not ob) forums under themes there are a few tutorials on how to do it

[LG Optimus Black] theaks30:
as i dont see any percentage of battery, it seems quite normal to me

maybe you have many apps running in background or are mislead by battery icon(without percentage) and your display is taking some amount of the battery which might mean that you are using it most of the time :p

its quite normal
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] izPanda:
So I was using KFU and while trying to complete the permanent root option my computer frooze and I was forced to restart it manually. Upon restarting the computer my Kindle Fire is now stuck on the Kindle Fire boot screen. If I plug the KF into my computer while it is turned off it begins to install the ADB driver software but as soon as it turns on it stops working and after I unplug the device and replug it back in it says device cannot be recognized. My KF does not have TWRP and it not rooted so is there ANYTHING I can do to unbrick it?

Thanks,

is there anyone able to over clock STOCK ROM 4.0.4. Please post the kernel and the procedure.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xdapao3:
I think we all are waiting for a Pershoot kernel (keep an eye on http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/) although I have to say that I have never felt so little need to OC than with this ROM...

Maybe with CPU intensive games but I don't do gaming on my mobile devices.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kaskhan78:
yaa we should wait for peershot kernel. Btw battery life with this rom is quite amazing almost double the time the 3.2 gave, I lost only 1% in 7 hours standby. may be OC reduce the battery life a bit.

[General Questions and Answers] klau1:
Normally Tasker can not survive hard reset.

But there is something like /system/app/ mover could move the tasker APK into the ROM.

However, I don't believe the profiles would survive, since they are located in the sdcard directory, or am I mistaken?
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
The profiles wouldn't survive if they are stored in the data partition (/data/data), if you can make Tasker save them on the sdcard (/mnt/sdcard/Android/data) they should survive a factory reset.

After too many people complaining about scratchs on s3 i tryed to find were it is officialy stated that s3 has gorilla glass...

Tryed samsung´s site (us, uk and brazil), s3 manual and phone contact and couldn´t find any official written confirmation...

S3 do not have gorilla glass!!!

Try to prove it here (just accept official info).

The gorilla glass is scratch resistance and not scratch proof like what most ppl think it is.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
too late to have such a pathetic doubt.
[Galaxy S III General] clouds5:
Gorilla glass... It's just a brand. They make advertising's while other glass manufacturers don't. That has nothing to do with quality. My Desire HD (soon to be retired) doesn't have gorilla glass and only minimal scratches after 2years of usage. It gives you a false security when you have it.

[Galaxy S III General] jerems:
I'm not sure how long you searched for...but it only took 7 minutes for someone to find the answer and post it on here to make you look dumb. I would try a little more googling next time.

On the other side of things, the Gorilla Glass on the S3 is a joke...Mine has with many scratches already and as others have posted, I have the Desire HD and Galaxy Nexus both have been going strong with barely any scratch at all since their release dates when I bought them.

I will just wait till it get really bad then replace the glass probably.

Jerems
[Galaxy S III General] kms108:
I won't bother about replacing the glass, it means replacing the whole screen, at least USD 200.
[Galaxy S III General] jerems:
Really?? Well in that case hopefully an amazing phone will be released by the time it happens so I can just buy that haha.

Thanks,

[Galaxy S III General] kms108:
All amoled display are glass+digitizer+screen in one, and needs to be replaced as one, it's the most expensive part of the phone.

[Galaxy S III General] kms108:
it's never too late, at least you can prevent further scratches.:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III General] yamensaleh:
funy thing is that I'm always buying the protector before the phone, I had a nexus s and the glass was very strong (stronger than the gorilla glass ) and as I remember it was not gorilla glass so I think it is only advertising
[Galaxy S III General] LBTaylor1984:
Can we all remember that all these glass brands are "re-enforced" there isn't currently scratch proof glass yet. If that's your thing look at Graphene, in the future it will be almost impossible to scratch glass with this added on to it.
[Galaxy S III General] Nichie:
DHD has it.

http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/htc
[Galaxy S III General] jerems:
That's interesting...I don't remember them advertising that at all when I bought it, and the screen was great (still is, my friend is using it) without screen protector. Did it matter if it was the International version compared to North America? (I had international GSM version)

Maybe this is a case of Gorilla Glass 1 vs 2? Assuming that DHD is version 1.

[Galaxy S III General] LiquidNarwhal:
I'm just going to throw this out there, but the very large screen of the Gs3 is probably the reason for the weakness of the glass. Smaller screens before this phone with the same product seem to hold up fine, just a thought though. perhaps it's a combination of new thinner glass and it being stretched to such large sizes :confused:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] silentecho13:
So, I just flashed CleanROM 4.5. Everything went smoothly, except I've lost all my sms/mms messages from both Go SMS and the default Messaging app.

I have a TWRP backup here on the computer, as well as a TiBu backup of all user apps.

I can't seem to find the SMS database in the TiBu backup at all, and I can't figure out how to browse the TWRP backup to find it.

Nandroid Explorer doesn't read TWRP backups either...

Anyone have a solution?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thejosh86:
Not sure if it's available in the Free Version but Titanium Backup allows you to extract from a Nandroid backup.

I just checked and it gave me a listing of all the apps I have installed and there was one listed as Messages, I can only assume that it's my texts.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] silentecho13:
Yes I do have the paid version. I tried restoring both Go SMS and the Messages app from TiBu using my TWRP backup, but they basically just reinstall the app. I still have no messages in either app :/
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thejosh86:
I didn't realise TiBu was Titanium - how retarded of me... haha

Any chance of backing this one up restoring the other nandroid and then backing up the txt's from within the stock messaging app then restoring?

Unless someone else knows how open .win files
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] silentecho13:
I did think of that, but I don't want to run the risk of a corrupted restore. I've had it happen s bunch of times, unfortunately.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TheNightHawk223:
Yep, it's fully possible. Just get the nandroid backup file, and make a copy and change the extension to .zip After that just unzip, and volia. A bit of searching (should be in the apps file, I forgot the details).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] silentecho13:
....so I saw this too late.

I went and restored my backup, grabbed the files, and restored the new backup hoping that neither were corrupted.

It all went smoothly, but I'll definitely remember this for the next time I mess up...haha.

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TheNightHawk223:
Glad I could help, almost everything that uses the term "compressed" seems to be able to be turned into a .zip :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eldamobo:
Sorry I'm not following this. I made a twrp backup using 2.5.0.0 and I got a bunch of .WIM files.

7-Zip recognizes those and opens them to have a .ext4 file. However every ext browser and mounter (in windows) I've tried can't seem to browse them. I tried renaming them zip, but I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong.

With old CWM releases, my backups were tars which were easily browsable.

Am I missing something?

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] uberamd:
I know this is an old post, but it's the first Google result.

What you want to do is rename the .wim file to .tar.gz, then extract the file (command line is tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz). If you look at the TWRP logs it indicates that it uses tar to create the archive file.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eldamobo:
Thanks uberamd. I'll give this a shot. I guess I should have checked the logs. Tar would be great!

hi there.. i made backup too.. now i want to bring back the boot.img and recovery.img..

most of guys said to me the " boot.emmc.win " is the stock boot.img.. but this one is 16 MB and other boot.img i saw till now are 6 MB..

and how can i restore the stock recovery? does the backup contain the recovery?

any idea?

N5 TWRP Backups

I made a backup with TWRP, and copied the .WIN files to my PC. Tried renaming those to .ZIP or .tar.gz, but 7zip could not open either of those!?

Are you guys sure the backups are actual zip or tar/gz files?

EDIT: Nevermind, I renamed to .tar and it opened. I suppose compression is not enabled by default ;)

Except the data.ext4 is splitted in two files: data.ext4.win000 and data.ext4.win001 and renaming either of those to .tar, .zip or .tar.gz doesn't help :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eldamobo:
Just a guess here but what if you concatenated the files together?

If you can post the details from the twrp log that would also probably help.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 3c:
Yes concatenating can help however all those .WIN files are either .tar files or .tar.gz (if compression is enabled). That's quite simple in the end, except that 7zip doesn't always recognize the format properly. If I open the system.win file, it only shows about 60MB of files, whereas the whole .win file is 600MB uncompressed, hence I was confused about the format.

I've been able to update my app to read those .tar, .tar.gz and extract any file from it now :D Pretty cool!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] VIPLightning:
Be advised though, for some reason when I rename the backup to .tar or .tar.gz for twrp 2.6.3.1, it doesn't want to open or extract. I don't know if it's only happening only for t-mobile sgs3 or the developer removed the ability for us to do it. But I did revert it back 2.6.3.0 and it's working fine for me. Thought I want to just throw it out there.

-VIPLightning
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 3c:
That's interesting. Which app are you using to open those TWRP backups? Asking because I found out that many extractor are unable to open those in the first place! 7zip for example showed me a 80MB content while the file was 600MB! And I'm using a very old 2.6.0.0 TWRP, so I got to try this last version out ;)

Would you mind trying Android Tuner Free, last update allows opening those .tar and .tar.gz files, but got to rename the TWRP backup to either of those first. It won't open the tar inside the gz file, but you should be able to extract it and then open it ;) If you don't have the time, I can understand, but hopefully you still have a 2.6.3.1 backup file around?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] VIPLightning:
I should have no problem giving it a try. Yeah I deleted my backup. I'll go ahead and update the recovery when I get a chance to later on. Then I'll make another backup :) And the program I used for extracting and opening was WinRAR. Everytime I tried to, the 2.6.3.1 backup would always come up as corrupted or damaged.

EDIT: So I tried out your app. Indeed the explorer does work. :D Thanks so much. Even though first it took some time, I was able to get to my stuff. But it was worth it. I've never seen an app that can actually do so much. Thanks again.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] yakovpol:
What are WIN files?

Along with win and md5 files TWRP creates recovery.log file. If you look inside this file, you can see the full log of what TWRP has done. There you can notice that win file with the boot partition is in fact a result of the dd command, so that's a bit-to-bit copy of the boot partition, sometimes named as .img file.

Other partition win files are tar files. If you used compression, you got .tar.gz files.

So .win files are raw partition data, .tar, or .tar.gz files. See recovery.log
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ts1506:
If you use compression in TWRP, just rename the .win to .tar.gz

i.e data.ext4.win to data.ext4.tar.gz , then use tar -xvzf , extracts perfectly fine.

I used this to extract my apps from a TWRP backup just now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Optikmike:
Cygwin

I had the same problem with winrar on my Windows box, didn't try 7zip, but I was able to rename the files as .tar and extract them using the tar command within Cygwin so that's another easy option for Windows users.

CYGWIN Unpacking TWRP Backup Files

Thanks [MENTION=570750]Optikmike[/MENTION] for CYGWIN tip

here's what I did..

CYGWIN Unpacking TWRP Backup Files

rename:

data.ext4.win to data.ext4.win.tar

system.ext4.win000 system.ext4.win000.tar

system.ext4.win001 to system.ext4.win001.tar

Make a directory in your CYGWIN Home [Username]folder

Example: untar

Use Windows File Explorer go to your CYGWING Home

C:\cygwin\home\carl (your user name will be here)

make any folder you choose

Example:

C:\cygwin\home\carl\untar

and C:\cygwin\home\carl\untar\data ( for data files)

put your renamed data files in a folder named data

C:\cygwin\home\carl\untar\data (this is to keep files separate when unpacked)

While in Explorer put your renamed system files in untar folder

start CYGWIN ( Use the Cygwin Terminal and then you can copy and paste these commands)

cd to untar folder

example:

cd\untar

do these commands one at a time, it will extract to a folder named system

tar -xvf system.ext4.win000.tar

tar -xvf system.ext4.win001.tar

cd to data

do this command

tar -xvf data.ext4.win.tar

all your data files will extract

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ProfEngr:
Seriously?

OK....

From what I've read on here and from parsing the data.ext4 archives created by 2.7.1.0, it would appear that TWRP does NOT perform a backup of the /data/media contents? That's a damn shame for such a useful utility. It should at least be an option like the other oft-unused partitions. Looks like my last round of back-to-square-one after a failed ROM upgrade just lost me the entire folder. I did a complete phone wipe thinking that I had a complete backup via TWeRP and didn't think twice about wiping /sdcard in the process.

I'll admit I should have copied the /sdcard contents :mad: before the wipe, but once again I was pressed for time and uber frustrated over several failed restore attempts from the same archive w/ a valid MD5. Turns out it was 2 damn .cache files that were read-only in /data that I couldn't change permissions on nor use any tool I had at the time to delete them. TWRP refused to restore anything until those 2 files were eradicated; thank you, Odin.

I've managed to recover a small portion of the lost image files in the telephone cache folder. I'm still looking for anything else that might be lingering.
