yeah, i knew aokp had it. im kind of surprised cm hasn't thought of this or implemented it yet given the nature of the cm rom.

does anyone know if the settings are stored in a local file somewhere?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] El Nivek:
Titantium Backup Pro has the option to back up system settings, not sure if the free version has that too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shiftr182:
it looks like all the data is /data/data. Each app has its data stored there, even the system apps. I have tried restoring data that way befor, it worked for some apps, didnt for others.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cnstarz:
/data/data holds all the rom system settings like display settings, sound settings, security settings, advanced cm10 settings? im not talking about apps, im talking about all the system settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shiftr182:
You would have to get those settings from the apps that they pertain to.

Im looking at /data/data/com.android.settings_preferences.xml right now and it shows my lcokscreen settings, my notification settings, my led settings, etc.

Anybody with similar, or other suggestions?

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] TheMegaMan:
I'm running version 5 (beta) of the Tweaked Stock ICS ROM on my GT-P6800, but I'm having a problem with nandroid from CWM.

I've created some valid nandroid backups in the past, but I found (to my cost!) a few weeks ago that the more recent backups I'd made weren't valid.

Reading the CWM thread over at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1542897 it sounded like there was a known problem, but should have been fixed. I flashed version 6.0.1.1 this morning, but I'm still having the same problem.

Instead of getting three .img files and three .tar files, I'm getting the three .img files but then get three small (<1MB) .dup files instead of the .tar files (data.ext4.dup, cache.ext4.dup and system.ext4.dup).

Anyone else seen this? Any ideas why?

Sorry for posting this here instead of in the developers forum - I don't seem to have posted enough on XDA to allow me to post the question in the right place! :eek:

Thanks,

Adam.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kishd:
Cwm now does incremental backups as only the changes from the original backup are done. This results in faster and smaller backup sizes after the original backup. If your original backup is corrupt delete the clockworkmod folder and redo your backup. After that incremental backups will be fast and small.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] TheMegaMan:
Aaaaah! Right. Hmmmm. I kinda liked the standalone nature of the full backups.

Having been bitten by a broken backup before, I'm rather nervous of testing this out! So if I want to restore an incremental backup, do I select just the latest dated file, or do I need to restore the last full back-up (and it'll restore the original and all the changes), or do I need to restore each increment myself?

Are the backup folders completely portable, such that I can move them in and out of the 'clockworkmod' directory as requried, to force full backups each time?

Many thanks,

Adam.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kishd:
Just select the last dated backup. I have restored a number of times using Iocerra's cwm 6
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] TheMegaMan:
Fantastic. Thanks, kishd.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] mvmacd:
Is there any way to make a standalone backup?

And how do we know what backup folder is the main backup? Aka how do we know what one is safe to delete?

I've made several backups on different roms/kernels, and I often delete old backups to free room on sdcard..

edit: I just did a backup after changing backup format to "tar" and it was over 1GB. The previous backups were between 1 and 3 hundred MB, so I assume setting the backup mode as tar does a standalone backup. can anyone confirm?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kevlar11:
changing backup format to "tar"

How did you do this? I know I saw the option last night, selected it, and backed up, but then I flashed a couple upgrades and now I don't see this option anymore. I tried deleting the clockworkmod folder and backing up from fresh, but it made a dup backup. I've been burned by a string of broken dup's so I really want the tar format (plus, I can extract apps and data from a tar, but not from the blob/dup mixture). I even see a file in my new clockworkmod directory called ".default_backup_format" that contains only one word: tar. This file had to be created with the backup I just did, and yet it was still a dup style backup.

So, where did you see the option to change format to "tar"? I would really like to know.

Thanks.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] 1chris89:
I hate my Motorola Atrix! I have the opportunity to upgrade right now and want the LG Optimus 4X HD but it's not available yet!?! So I was curious if you guy's knew when it's going to come out?

Other questions is the LCD Big enough? My Atrix is 4" and my HTC HD2 was 4.3" so is what 4.7" big enough? I wish the Galaxy Note had the exact same lcd but 6.5" and all the same hardware I'd buy the Note in a second. What do you guy's think? Any random reboots or like a random reboot when you first plug your phone into windows 7 usb port? My atrix does that a lot. What about GPS location time to locate? One more thing has anyone recorded a video and actually opened the file and saw what the playback FPS was? 23.97+? or is it really pulling off 30fps? they saw it can do 60fps at 1080p with the tegra 3 power house...... Can't wait for CM9 release on this device....

THANKS!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] colts187:
Good luck getting it in the US through a carrier for a least another month or two. It is leaps and bounds better than an matrix. Of course, it won't come to the us in its current configuration
[LG Optimus 4X HD] 1chris89:
Nice yeah the atrix is super lame. The hardware is amazing, the presentation is lacking in a HUGE way. That actually makes me happy that the configuration won't be the same for the USA! That means we might get something special like an lcd with 3d 4.7" 1280x720 ips retina lcd panel and maybe beats audio and 2560x1600 @ 120fps recording capability lmao just kidding! anyway the 3d sounds cool and isn't all that unlikely either however it's most likely to be very similar.

I wish they would integrate a dual boot Playstation Portable and android os. Where the Playstation Portable will utilize the 10 core tegra 3 geforce ulp chip with advanced graphics capabilities. Actually a system where the Playstation Portable is played through a Direct-port boot camp like configuration where you can switch to and from in real time like be gaming it up to cool games and switch to android real quick for a call. Another thing is include removeable control pieces which attach to the phone for an epic xbox 360 controller like experience.

Anyone have any idea if the Playstation Portable would out perform a Tegra 3? 5 cores clocked at 1.5Ghz and 1 at 500Mhz put all the threads together for a global 6,500Mhz of epic computing power. Not including the 10 core ultra special new geforce ulp chip. You know the adreno's on qualcomm chips are ultra low voltage already. Nvidia chose to let us know that sure we make beasts but this thing is desinged to perform out of this world amazing but also use very little power. I wish developers for companies would team up with playstation and dial in a truly epic full on killer android phone with playstation and epic physics and a completely epic gaming experience at the same time. Make the controller pieces either removable or slide out handles that are comfortable and durable with triggers and joysticks that are of semi-console like size like tiny but big thumb sticks that are comfortable to use yet low profile.

Sorry if this is a dupe post. I thought I'd submitted it earlier but it doesn't show up in my 'Threads you've started' area in user CP

Hi all,

I'm bored so I'm trying to come up with a new homescreen layout.

I want to design a wallpaper that lines up with the widget spacing on the homescreen but can't for the life of me work out the vertical height in pixels of a 1 row tall widget in touchwiz.

Does anyone know the vertical pixel location where the grid begins (just underneath the notification bar) and the pixel size for 1 row? I should be able to work the rest out from there.

Cheers in advance

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stouf:
Hi,

It's my first post in this section, I've been somewhat active in Nexus One and HTC Tytn forums in the past.

Now, my wife and I own a GS3 each, and we are very happy with it.

But, we have 2 problems with music playing on the S3 :

- Android doesn't seem to scan music on the ExtSdcard. I tried to re-tag the mp3 files, change the folder, clean caches (general cache, music apps cache and media scanning cache), reboot several times, etc. The phone seems to only find the mp3 on the internal memory (I tried to copy a music album on the internal memory, and it was found immediatly). It's true on the two phones, but it don't really bother me because I'm used to folder navigation. Only my wife uses tags system.

I could add that this behaviour started recently but we didn't notice it, because the cache has been populated before, and it was kept in memory. We saw this behaviour yesterday, when tring to add new music files. They weren't added to the music database.

Confirmed with : stock mp3 app, Meridian, and musicmatch. I didn't try other media players.

It's a big problem since we are huge music fans, and we own large sdcards for this purpose. Especially my wife... We don't want to put the music files on internal memory, it would be stupid.

- On my own S3, the "media players" notification, when you plug the headphones and see a list of media players, this function is not working, nothing shows up. It's not a real problem for me, but I just found this lost of fonctionnality a little strange. It's working on my wife's S3.

My wife's S3 is completely stock, only rooted and some small mods.

I'm rooted, stock modded rom, with Siyah kernel b6. Very happy with it.

We both are XXLFB. I suspect XXLFB introduced the first problem/bug.

mods :

- real brightness

- skip tracks on handsfree (me)

- bloatware removed (me)

- small fonts

- camera shutter sound menu

- cell standby fix (me)

Thank you for your help, or ideas...

So, I have been using my SGS3 for about 6 weeks and I am loving it. This phone is loaded with so much technology that I can not really see what more I would need in a phone.

1.4 dual core CPU

2GB memory

LTE

GPS

Music and video player

Gorgeous 4.8" screen

Will this not last me a few years? This phone will not be obsolete any time soon.

What more would I really need in a phone? I know in the future phones will have more stuff built into them, but to what end? I can actually see myself using this phone until it is dead.

I know there are people who upgrade to the latest and greatest every time something new comes out, but the average person does not. So, will you upgrade to what ever comes out next , and if so, why? Or will you keep your phone for a while?

For those who will upgrade, what would you like to see in the next phone that the S3 does not already have? Coffee maker? Juice squeezer? Clothes Iron? Hamburger maker? Nail polish applier?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
It will be obsolete in 15 months. Trust me.

When the S2 was released, about 1 and a half years ago, people said the same thing: it'd the "the phone" for years to come. Now that I've had my S3 for about the same time as you, I look at my old S2 (that I gave to my wife) and think how was I able to use such a tiny screen!

The thing is: our expectations will shift upwards, new technologies will emerge and things we don't even know that exist today are things that a couple years from now we won't be able to live without.

I refrain my self from saying "this will be my phone for xx years", because I am a tech addict, a gadget junkie! I remember clearly that a couple weeks before the release of the S3 I wrote in the XDA S2 forums that I wouldn't spend a dime on moving from my S2 to the S3... until I held it in my hands! I wrote that there is nothing in the S3 that I couldn't have from the S2.... how wrong was I ?

You have the American version then. International version has two problems compared to the American one: 1) Everytime you press the power button you wait 1.5 seconds for the screen to come up (wake up lag) 2) It only has 1GB RAM, severely hindering multitasking.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aydc:
There IS wake up lag in every single phone with Exynos chip. It's caused by cpu waiting for modem to wake up after deep sleep. If you don't compare it with another Android phone like HTC or Sony phones, it may be hard to detect, especially if you've gotten used to it.

If you have a friend who has an HTC phone, do this: Turn off both phones, wait 10 seconds (for the phones to go to deep sleep). Then turn on both phones at the same time. HTC's screen will come on instantly while your SGS3 will take 1600 ms to wake up.

Some developers tried to fix it when we had it on SGS2, but came to the conclusion that it's impossible. It's simply a Samsung "feature" like the frikkin hard home button.
