My backup with CWM 6011

Somebody PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong here...

I use BOTH 'dedup' & '.tar' formats to backup my phone. I'm a flashaholic and test EVERYTHING. I use the 'dedup' to back up before I test something new because it only backs up the new stuff I added without repacking EVERYTHING, so it's a bit faster and takes up less space. Once a week or so, I do a '.tar' backup so I can archive it to my PC and remove it from my SD card (to conserve space). I DO also have multiple SD cards, one of them is dedicated to 'test' ROMs. I do a '.tar' backup on that before I flash the 'test' ROM, that way I don't trash my 'good' SD card with all of my pics, music, contacts, etc.(in case something goes terribly awry).

So it seems to me that BOTH formats are very useful.

I may be taking extra steps but after losing ALL of my data, I thought it time to refine my backup habits. LOL

Personally I sold my s2 then purchased HTC one x but u people can't believe after that I missed my S2 so much then I sold HTC one x and bought S2 again :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] mxn-:
So u got a sg2 and not leaving.... why would u care
[Galaxy S II General] exynoss:
Thisis the best handy phone out there which has perfect display size , very thin , too much development on XDA
[Galaxy S II General] Dampierre:
S2 is a masterpiece. Perfect screen size, very handy, I forget it in my packet and sometimes I'm scared of dropping the phone while walking on street, because I cannot feel the weight. Not too bad screen resolution, rectangular shape (not round sides like s3), still a beast with its hardware. No reason to buy another phone.

[Galaxy S II General] compuw22c:
One reason I love my SII (aside from the blistering 1.6ghz overclock speed and amazing camera) is this thing is BASICALLY indestructible. I can't count the number of times it's gone plummeting towards the concrete, no case ever,and it takes it like a champ every time. I've seen WAY too many shattered SIII screens in such a short time I can't be confident in it. It can't be that everyone is that horribly careless. also, the main draw of this year's phones are screen resolution and while VERY nice, I couldn't bring myself to make such an incremental step up

Hi ...

In last couple of days my SGSIII went to negative colors automatically without even touching that option and I had to reverse the colors manually to get original colors back.. I am not sure what could be the problem nor have any idea about why it's happening.

I haven't installed any such app that will do that or so..

So can anyone suggest me what to look for as I already factory reset it too but to no available..

P.S. - It only changed for three times and not more.. Also while talking there was some sweat on the glass, could that be a reason though it didn't changed it's colors at that moment but later..

Thanks.

Are you using siyah kernel? Disable that toggle setting in it's settings..

Use Stweaks and under screen, negative toggle setting.

That wont fix it permanently.. You have to disable it using Stweaks..

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lalistati:
on Android 5.0.2 there is an option where you enable (and disable) negative colors by clicking 3 times the cetral button I was looking for a week what made my phone (samsung A3) turn on the negative colors. So, the easiest way is to go to settings and search for "negative colors", Its hard to explain where becouse my phone is on greek language but there are two options you have to uncheck in "Accessibilities". One option to turn on/of the negative colors and the other to turn off the option clicking 3 times the central button. Hope that is uderstude and helpfull

update: (ok found it in english) :)

go to "Settings", then "Accessibility" and tap on "Direct Access"
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytakeru:
i got same issue on my samsung galavy V, but there is no 'negative color' button on my accesibility

can someone help me?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Setialpha:
After testing CM10 for a while (thx codeworx) I now ported my NanoBoot image to CM10.

Changes compared to original CM10 boot:

"insecure" (means: / and /system mounted read-write (easy 'adb push' into /system ...), ro.secure = 0)

support for /system/etc/init.d/ init scripts

(somewhat) easy UMS access

Changes in r10:

Use 179:24 instead of 179:25 as address for UMS (fixes UMS on Windows)

to enable UMS for external SD with this boot.img it is enough to do:

setprop sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb

to return to MTP:

setprop sys.usb.config mtp,adb

TIP:

If you use Linux you may use some function like:

ums () {

if [[ $1 == "+" ]]; then
adb root
sleep 2
adb -s c1607c00051963f shell 'setprop sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb'
else
adb root
sleep 2
adb -s c1607c00051963f shell 'setprop sys.usb.config mtp,adb'
fi
}

'ums +' will enable UMS, 'ums -' will disable UMS on your tablet (not to mention it needs to be connected (...))

replace '-s c1607c00051963f' with '-s <your adb id>' - you get the id via 'adb devices'.

If you only got one adb-enabled device, you could remove '-s c1607c00051963f' from the commands.

If there's more than one device connected adb needs to know which one should receive the commands.

I did not yet have the time to modify framework-res.apk to add UMS to the list of options...

[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Nicene Nerd:
Tried this on my P3113 and it broke my WiFi.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Setialpha:
Here with 3110 it works... if you provide me the original 3113 boot.img, I can re-pack one, that should work.

And it only works with Cyanogen Mod 10. Not on 9 or stock rom.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Nicene Nerd:
I am using CM10, so here's the original boot.img for CM10 on the P3113. You don't need the stock one, do you?
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Setialpha:
try with attached CWM zip.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] F3AR420:
n00b here.....what does this do??
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Setialpha:
Just as first post says. This is a modified boot image for cyanogen mod 10 (no other ROM supported!) for galaxy tab 2 7", which makes / and /system read-write, adds support for init-scripts and adds pretty easy way to access UMS (USB Mass Storage) for external SD-Card.

According to your signature you're using an incompatible rom anyway - so don't use this.

@Macadamia Daze: now also tested with a 3100 I got my hands on: WiFi works. Dunno why it doesn't work with 3113 (I got no clue whether 3113 has some special WiFi stuff or whatever). Either way, please tell me, whether the attached one for 3113 (two posts above) works with WiFi.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Nicene Nerd:
Silly me; the problem was an incompatible kernel (Johnsel's). I returned to the default CM10 kernel and reflashed this, so now WiFi works. Still, in Windows it doesn't work properly. While it does create a new removable disk in Computer, it gives the "Please insert a disk into drive" error when I try to open it. Haven't tested in Linux yet, but based on my earlier tests with your previous UMS solution, it probably works.

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------

Ooh, I have good news! I used Device Manager to examine the blank drive letter on the computer, and it was recognizing it basically like an SD card reader with no SD card. So, I decided to poke around some of the files referenced in your UMS script from before to check their values. When I tried to open /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_mass_storage/lun/file, I got an error. Thinking it may not be working properly, I created a file on my computer with the contents "/dev/block/vold/179:24" and ADB pushed it to overwrite the broken file. Instantly, my SD card mounted on the PC. I hope this is useful information for you!
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Setialpha:
I see... 179:24 is the sdcard itself, 179:25 (what I use) is the first partition on the sdcard... unixoid systems don't care about that, but windows seems too... I'm gonna test with 179:24 on Linux and if it works there (I'd say yes even without testing, I provide an update). Thanks for testing.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Setialpha:
r10 is now online - fixes UMS issue on Windows.

I can't get WiFi to work with Johnsel's CM10OC Kernel - so I skiped uploading those image/zip...

You can find me in Freenode #cyanogenmod-dev if you care to sort out what's happening with the wifi on my kernel
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Setialpha:
It fails to load something and therefore can't be enabled, don't remember exact log-message right now.

I'll contact you, when I'm hacking around the next time.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] DivinityCycle:
This is pretty interesting.

Two things

1-Doesn't CM10 already support init.d scripts?

2-Would it be possible to swap the mountpoints for the "internal" sdcard space and the actual microSD card slot? My current method of re-mounting things right after boot is OK but not very elegant.
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Setialpha:
1 - atleast not via boot.img - that's why I added it.

2 - I have an older tablet I used before (ARNOVA 7C G2) it worked with this one, so it should work with this one, too. But you should never enable UMS while some app is running... On that other tablet I had to use EXT2 or EXT4 on SD-Card else all that permission stuff didn't work (FAT only has very basic permission rules for files). Also I recommend using second partition of SD-Card for /data. (first gets used as external storage and is managed by vold - at least that is what I did on my other tablet).

I attached init.espresso.rc, so that you can play around with the mount points (re-send me the file after you're done and I can provide you a flashable zip).
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] DivinityCycle:
That's the thing I have been wrestling with lately, what's "the best" way to manage this stuff?

It seems like the main thing that needs to be done for legacy purposes is linking the regular /storage/sdcard0/data directory over to /storage/sdcard1/data/.

One idea I had was to format the "internal" sdcard (/storage/sdcard0) with ext4, which would allow symlinks to exist there, then just remove the data directory and replace it with a symlink that points to /storage/sdcard1/data.

From what I've read, ext4 is supposed to be a better, higher performance solution, so I'm kinda curious to try it out.

It would make UMS pretty worthless to Windows guys like me, but I basically do everything via network anyways (SFTP mostly).

Is it possible to control the file systems used on the internal & external sdcards in the init? I didn't look too deeply at it cuz I don't know how to rebuild a boot.img (at least not yet:P)
[Galaxy Tab 2 7" Android Development] Nicene Nerd:
Tested this with the current AOKP JB nightly, and it also breaks WiFi. I'm trying now to keep the rom and restore the CM10 NanoBoot backup. Fingers crossed it will be stable.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] arctic84:
*** I AM NOT TAKING ANY CREDIT FOR THIS, I JUST HAPPENED TO GOOGLE IT AND FOUND IT USEFUL AND WANT TO SHARE***

I found it on another forum posted by a guy name ERIC.

**Update (8/19)** THIS MOD SHOULD WORK FOR ALL ROMS! I did it both on AOKP and stock. Gonna look into what else can be edited and post results :)

If you're having trouble with your phone waking due to the home button, this is the mod for you.

I work in a restaurant and i keep finding that my phone gets quite warm in my pocket because

the screen comes on (it also likes taking screen shots, and sometimes even opens the camera).

Hope this is helpful for you guys.

HERE WE GO!

ONLY MODIFY THE FILE SPECIFIED!

OR PLAY AROUND AT YOUR OWN RISK AS NOTHING OTHER THAN MENTIONED FILE IS TESTED....

open root explorer

navigate to : system/usr/keylayout

now press the mount r/w button near the top of screen to enable read and write permissions

scroll down to: sec_keys.kl

press and hold until menu pops up, select: Open in Text Editor

locate line: key 172 HOME WAKE

tap behind the word WAKE and delete it so you see: key 172 HOME

press menu and select: Save and Exit

now press the button at the top of the screen to disable read and write permissions: Mount R/O

(once pressed should now read : Mount R/W again.

Exit root explorer

Reboot your phone

WALA, no more warm pocket and random screenshots :D

I am using Jelly Bean rom right now and I missed the home button just turns on screen. I think in JB whenever I Push home button it directly goes to home. I mean if you gave a break when reading something when You push home button the app you working on is not active anymore but it goes to home instead. Do you guys have a fix for that?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rtwhtever:
I'd like to have that too. I had it on my previous phone and liked it.

Edit: Interesting, this is the contents of my whole file, and yet only the home and power buttons do wake up the phone.

Interesting. ..can you give more detail or where to change?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jconway1968:
When I first did this I used ES File Explorer to make the edits. It didn't work so I went back to change it back and even though I went back to the default settings the Home button does not turn on the device. So, I downloaded Root Explorer thinking that would help. The strange thing is when I go into the sec_keys.kl file to edit, it is completely blank. So, I added each line manually and then hit save and exit. But, when I go back into it, it is blank again. I assume that all of this has something to do with the home button not turning on the phone. So, what am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] klau1:
same problem, it fails to turn on the phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stu5797:
Once I do this mod it works but now everytime I push the home button, the phone vibrates and makes the touch screen sounds. Anyone know a solution so this one home button does not vibrate or make a sound when pressed besides turning off vibrations and sounds for the whole phone?

When I go to system/usr/gpio-keys.kl using Root Explorer it shows key 102 as my HOME key and it had WAKE_DROPPED. I tried deleting WAKE_DROPPED and then tried deleting the word HOME as well as the WAKE_DROPPED, rebooting between each try but the home button continues to wake my phone, any suggestions?

This is weird.

I have deleted every "WAKE" entry regarding the "HOME" button from every file inside the /system/usr/keylayout folder, rebooted numerous times and yet, my home button still wakes up my screen.

I even tried to delete the "HOME" word altogether in GPIO-Keys and Sec-Keys, leaving only the "172" part and yet the home button still wakes up the screen.

My model is I747M (Canadian) on 4.4.2 with touchwiz stock rom, rooted and Next Launcher 3D.

Anybody got a clue ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ratbastrd:
Couple of questions regarding the new unlocked bootloader, forgive my ignorance if I am not asking this properly. Trying to decide if I should return or unlock and wait for developer editions SW to be released.

Once the developer edition is available, will a native version of the "developer edition" ROM be available to those who using the new unlocked bootloader and presumably a custom ROM now?

Ideally I would like to get back in sync with Samsung/Verizon ROM releases to avoid any OTA issues, return issues etc. What if any issues will I run into with this approach?

Anyone have any idea when the new Samsung Dev edition will be available? I just purchased the new S3 from Verizon (full price) and can return if needed in the next week. The phone is a dog as delivered. Many FC's on traditionally stable apps I have run in past.

I am meeting with the Samsung guy's at IFA in a few weeks on a related matter, will feedback whatever i can.

Other thoughts or concerns related to return vs unlocking and moving forward now.

Thank you all for the amazing work you are doing here. As a manufacturer of high end CE devices that inter-operate with handsets, I can tell you that benefits of the work you do, extend beyond the handset in many ways.
