can you recommend a custom kernel. I'm not bothered about overclocking anything.

Sorry ignore that, reread first link in your signature
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
I am using notecore 13.4 std version and.fine for me.

Great tutorial Dr.Ketan ,

Iam a ROM flashing veteran yet didnt know how to efficiently restore ROM settings and especially sms,contacts and calllogs using Titanium backup. So thanks for the heads up.

Please keep on posting on the use of various other features of TB - like meaning of color codes,symbols etc in applist ,advanced funtions,freezing useless system apps (ex:i froze most of the voice search features of android since i never intend to use them) , figuring dependencies of running apps (including system apps) so that freezing wont result in system instability etc - so that every one can run a lean and superfast android device.

Also please share any conservative firewall blocklist on Droidwall - with details on each blockgroup etc.

Also PDroid privacy block settings - which all privacy details can be blocked without affecting basic functionality.

Looking forward to your posts and views on above - so post away when u have time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Thnx

Actually i have not mentioned regarding color code and icon, b'coz it is ready made available on TB application Menu-Help & support - legend.

Regarding freezing there is sticky thread in app section.

Another thing is freezing and removing bloatware helping or not is also on debate, my self also dont believe whether really it is helpful. See most of user removes bloatware for two reason one for making RAM free and saving battery juice.

Now RAM, Android itself have mechanism of LMK(low memory killing), so whenever android system feels there is RAM is full, it kills process in background which is not in use. Basically android keeps this in background b'coz this can improve performance, it takes less time to call this application if it is running in background. So again if you remove bloatware, still android will keep running certain amount of application in background till it sense mamory is full. difference only will be system appl which you have removed will be replaced by some other application which you have used last.

Now battery, above explanation itself emphasise no role of saving battery juice by this way, b'coz appl you have froze/removed was replaced by other applications.

You can try this thing, dont remove any bloatwares and install battery monitor SW and look how much juice is drained bt bloatwares during full cycle. surprisely you wont find > 1-2 % for total bloatwares, even some can't be record drainage too even though it was remained in background.

Regarding droidwall and security, will try to write on it.

Once again read your guide in the first link of your signature, once i was comfortable I flashed notecore 13.4 std and reset yellow triangle.

Phone is now up and running, I noticed now in cpuspy I have a 100mhz state whereas before with stock kernel lowest state was 200mhz - think i can see where some of battery life gain comes from.

Want to say thank you(even though i always click thanks) to all the help and advice you've given me, members like you are an asset to XDA

Thanks

Yet another awesome tutorial from dr.ketan. I usually do a TB for my apps and nandroid when itchy to flash another rom. Thanks thanks :good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ntrancemedia:
Hello Dr. Ketan,

What apk do u use for Nandroid Backup? I tried Rom Manager v5.0.2.0 (free version) but when my phone reboot i got this error:

ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.1.2

Error processing ROM Manger scripts. Please verify that you are performing the backup, restore, or ROM installation from ROM Manager v4.4.0.0 or higher.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Don't look to version.

use CWM recovery that comes along with kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] coolfire:
Awesome thread as usual from the Doctor! :good:

Btw, I noticed something while I was trying out JellyCore earlier today. I couldn't restore (data only) my contacts, coming from KingDroid v7.4... Tried either Snapshot and/or XML options in TB, but both times, my contacts were blank... :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Try latest titanium (today release) i exactly dont remember but have some fix like this.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] coolfire:
Appreciate the headsup, Doc!

I've followed your wonderful recommendations on the OP and am gonna flash a new ROM soon. Feel even safer than before! :victory:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Rakaan:
I have followed the guide but my messages in sms are not backedup. I say that because when I try to restore after flashing a new rom, nothing is restored in sms.

Also how can I back up my snote, s memo and mini diary entries?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
restore msg which is shows in yellow color title

Dont have Tw Launcher or Tw Home at TB .. Only thing i had with Touchwiz is TochWiz-Start 4.1.2-N7100XXDLL4

Can i use it to Backup and Restore my Homescreen ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
name suggesting its launcher only

though you can try this way

make backup of touchwiz-start...

just delete single short cut from one of page of launcher

then restore backup , if it restores that short cut then it's confirm it is working.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nokiamodeln91:
OR

the confirmed working method is NANDROID
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Yes nandroid can backup but i think it's not good option for data, most of cases we need to restore data after flashing new rom

Isn't?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nokiamodeln91:
True.. but for user apps nandroid is a great option not so much for System apps like Contacts, call logs , sms etc etc..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
yeah right, for user appl it is fine (and even free)

Off Topic :

but you know actually newer device like S3 and Note2, CWM is losing popularity compare to note 1, where hardly you can expect anyone without CWM.

b'coz new bootloader in coming device have auto check sum and with presence of CWM you can't reset flash counter (still some option there to reset every boot) so CWM is only acceptable who want to have custom ROM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nokiamodeln91:
Yes I read about it in some post of yours in the note 2 forum.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Harv3y:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Yes titanium backup will backup sms and call log too
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 0711nimajneb:
Thanks Dr. This guide helps me much in work with TB.

But the Data only schedule doesn't work by me at all. Maybe I did something wrong? I put on the Data Filter Apps like WhatsApp and 3gWatchDog. But after Backup of Data only schedule I had only the first master backup. Not the newest from the night.

I tried then "Redo Backup of modified Data" instead of "Backup all system data" and it works.

So I think that's the right way, if putting downloaded apps for data backup to Schedule, we have to set "Redo Backup of modified Data" in the Data schedule?

BTW I like the feature in TB to restore from Nandroid Backups. After flashing last ROM I could restore my missing data that way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
go to schedule page and press RUN button in schedule and watch it makes backup or not, otherwise attach screenshot here
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 0711nimajneb:
That's the way I did. After that there were no newer backup as the master backup from one week ago.

After I changed the schedule to "Redo backup of modified Data" it works.

A new backup within whatsapp data... is there.

In the second screenshot u see the backup dates. Plan was at night at 3.00h. But no backup was made. With the new setting it works.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
yes this should be redo backup of modified data, and this will backup only if filtered applications data have been changed

if you want to make backup everytime with/without data change do this

select 'Backup all user apps + system data' instead of "Redo Backup of modified Data"

and in filtering select 'data only' (which is already you have).

then it will backup your filtered application irrespective of data you have changed or not.

In my case i have applied rule 'backup all system data' b'coz my filtered application was just system data no user application included.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 0711nimajneb:
Thanks for your work!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] knightrazor:
Does the backup option from CMW good enough?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
That's nandroid backup and advantages and limitations discussed in op.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aelmahmoudy:
Hello,

So I've backed up everything, and I am going to flash a new ROM (namely the Ultimate_N7000_LSZ_JB_4.1.2_v5.2 ROM) instead of the stock JB ROM.

So, to restore my data (and apps that would be removed after flashing) on that new ROM, which should I select:

Restore all apps with data ?

Restore missing apps with data ?

Restore all system data ? -> will that restore system configuration (ie. wifi access points, ringtone settings, etc...) ?

Restore missing apps + all system data ?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Restore missing application will be fine

For system data manually restore only data which you needed (yellow and green color)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aelmahmoudy:
How can I restore the call logs ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Restore call log (yellow color) data only
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aelmahmoudy:
Also, how to restore TouchWiz screens & the app folders that I had in apps list ?

---------- Post added at 11:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------

I don't find call log item.

I only got green, red & while color data

---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 AM ----------

Nevermind, I found the TouchWiz Home option which restored the screens & app folders, still looking for call logs
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Do you have latest version?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aelmahmoudy:
Latest version of TitaniumBackup ? Yes it is latest.

Anyways, I restored Call logs by restoring LogProvider (which was in red by the way, also TouchWiz home was in red)

Thanks for your help

---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 PM ----------

Funny thing is that although I restored config (all config entries were in green), yet the lock screen configuration weren't restored
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Lock screen you will get by setting and setting storage in green

[MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION] My apologies, didn't know where else to ask U this ... somehow after the most recent update Titanium wouldn't recognise the back up folder on the External Card and when I wanted it to detect the folder, it would show two, one raw and the other actual one, I tried choosing both but it wouldn't recognise any backed up apps, they just wouldn't show in the Restore apps option, then I asked it to move the files from raw data folder to the actual one, and now I have nothing in the folder, completely empty. Could U please suggest something that I could try, even a data recovery tool perhaps? Thank U.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Make sure there is no word in search (filter) if so clear it. Sometime you tried last time searching something and still it was there. Click on filter symbol to check
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Anubis22666:
I did Dr Ketan, there wasn't any word in the search filter, in fact when I go into my SD card and click on the properties of the folder, the size it shows is 0, I also tried going into the folder, it's empty. I know U always warn about data loss and suggest backups and I took Ur advice on board, but this is catastrophic.

In case U wish to know why I didn't bother writing to TB people and am imposing on U instead, knowing Ur depth of knowledge I approached U instead and U will see on the app page, the TB developer doesn't address concerns and many are left waiting and fuming, so I thought it prudent to ask for Ur help and advice.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
It's weired to loss data on ext SD card unless something went wrong.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Anubis22666:
All the rest of the data and files on the Card are intact .. I tried restoring nandroid backup, doesn't work, just wont boot, then I tried using nandroid backup to restore, said Passed, but the app just wont start, keeps FC ... a question if I may, the nandroid manager app shows two backups (of the nandroid backup that I made), one starts with /mnt and the other /storage ... both same size, same date and time ... is there a difference between the two? Maybe I should have tried restoring from the other instead which is why the app wont start?

I've seen many videos of people playing emulators like n64oid or fpse with a ps3 controller by plugging the controller's usb into the keyboard dock. I was just wondering if your device must be rooted to do this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Alchedin:
Hi all,

Since i'm unable to start a thread in the android development forum I try here. Hopefully Arrrrgh won't get Arrrrgh'd at me for posting this..;)

I have a problem which I hopefully get support for. I have tried all Android roms for the touch pro2 which none will boot or get past the ACL bootlogo.

I've tried every imaginable way to get it working but all are resulting in a kernel panic. I tried the NAND versions and the SD versions but both options results in the same kernel panic.

First I thought it was the SD formatting problem but after trying 4 different sizes and brands I excluded this as a possible cause.

It seems after looking at it a bit more thoroughly I got a Vario V version of the TP2 - Rhodium 100 (please correct me if i'm wrong)

I'm able to pull logs i'm ready and willing to pass the logs for supporting this device. I've found a similar thread by Z!nk / Z1nk but he gave up on the device before the developers could get to it.

So hopefully there is a developer willing to add this version to the android roms.

Thanks for reading and hope to hear from anyone soon.

Cheers,

Alchedin

[edit] The device has security unlocked and is HSPL'd [/edit]
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
How can we correct you if you're wrong - you need to tell us what phone variant you have. There's a surefire way to know as well...

It's kind of the first question in the FAQ...

Either way, the fact that you can't boot either makes me think you have a clone. There was another fellow with a clone (perhaps the one you mentioned?) that was unable to boot XDAndroid because he didn't have the same hardware. If you run HaRET.exe with no startup.txt, what does it say?

Edit - Regardless, I would focus on one build and try to get that to work. FRX07.1 is probably the "simplest" from that perspective.

Edit2 - Also, you seem to indicate it's a kernel panic. Why no logs? :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Alchedin:
Dear Arrrghhh,

Thanks for replying.

Ok, looking at the faq it states my phone should be a Rhod100 (complete: NM8RHOD100) which seems, when googeling, to be some kind of T-Mobile version. At the moment i'm running a deepshining

I ran the rom without a startup.txt and it gave me the following message: Found machine Rhodium. Hope this is the info you needed?

Placed in the Rhodium100 startup.txt a started haret again, which resulted in a kernel panic.

Will keep you informed since I'm not at home.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Logs? How do you know it's a kernel panic? What kernels have you tried?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Alchedin:
Hi Arrrghhh,

Attached are the adb logs, which I hope is the info you need. This is what I get when using FRX07.1 like you advised.

But I have three questions if i'm not too bold:

1. Did you advise this version because it's more thoroughly when it comes to finding a issue?

2. When looking at the logs, is there something wrong with sound or something?

3. I'm able to pull logs of NAND builds if you like? They seem to be more complete when it comes to information on boot.

Cheers,

Alchedin
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Alchedin:
Today I tried the GBX0C version of XDandroid and this is the first working android on my phone. Boot-animation started and it just worked! Still can't believe it.

Any idea how this rom differs from the FRX07.1?

Cheers
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Well there's a few things, besides the whole FroYo vs. Gingerbread. The acoustic code/routing is the 'main' one. Not sure what else off the top of my head, but there's changelogs in the GBX0C thread. There's not a huge difference since some of it was backported to FRX...

Either way, glad GBX is working.

Edit - the logs you posted from the FRX failures don't really give me much to go off of either, unfortunately.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Alchedin:
Today I tested different kernels using GBX0C and found out the following:

2.6.27.46(original GBX0C) - boots up

2.6.39.3 - boots up - Buttons / keyboard not functioning correctly

3.0.18 - boots up - buttons / keyboard not functioning correctly

3.3.8 - Not booting - Stuck on calibration (message: X & Y the same)

3.4.3 - Not booting - Stuck on calibration (message: X & Y the same)

Hope I did it right, replaced the zimage and module with every kernel switch. Also created a new data.img every time.

Cheers,

Alchedin
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Sounds like for one reason or another, your device is different from all other RHOD's. There seems to be an infinite number of RHOD100 variants, and supporting all of them equally is impossible.

Unfortunately you're going to have to troubleshoot these issues. We don't have a lot of devs left, and without having the device in hand, it makes such development 1,000x harder. Good luck.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Alchedin:
If I supply you with the information you need through video, logs, dmesg, logcat etc. you can implement it correct? Too bad you're in the USA so shipping it will be costly.

Walter79 lives in Germany which country is next to where I live, maybe he can/is willing to extract the required info from the phone? I'm willing to go the extra mile if it helps the whole TP2 community.

Thanks a lot anyway :good:

Cheers,

Alchedin
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] wizardknight:
Have you tried plugging a known working calibration file into the rom and using the kernels that are giving a calibration error?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
I would not be a good candidate as I am far from a developer. As I stated previously, we don't really have any devs actively working on the project. walter79 just created the CM build, unfortunately he was not part of the original XDAndroid development team.

Again, your phone seems like it is a one-off, and development efforts for a one-off device are always difficult. I'd say you're going to have to pick up the effort yourself, or be happy with where the development is left at.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Alchedin:
I used the same ts-calibration file that was created during the first boot of gbx0c. Like I stated earlier, I only replaced/removed the zimage, module and data.img file every time I switched kernel.

Should I also re-calibrate every time when switching kernels?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Alchedin:
Many thanks for your interest and pointers arrrghhh, I will look into kernel stuff and such, maybe i'll get some of it working :fingers-crossed:

I have little to no development/linux/android skills but I can at least try to learn it.

Cheers

P.S: In a earlier stage playing around with NAND builds I managed to use the boot.img of the CM9-ICS_X1_testbuild1 in combination with the CM7.2 of walter79 and got it running in landscape mode, if this worked for me I can go from there.

Bit by bit i'm getting a hang of it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
No, as I state in all my threads about calibration - once you get a good calibration file, save 15,000 copies of it and re-use it constantly. There's no need to constantly recalibrate.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Alchedin:
Ok here we go, sorry for the big read..

I hope I can be as precise as possible. This is about the NAND builds i've tested.

I installed ICS like in my last post again and made a CWM backup of the whole phone.

After this I did a new task29 and reflashed everything till I got back into CWM.

This time I installed the OMGB stable release with the kernelpatch + gapps.(seems the most advised build) Factory reset/data/cache/etc just to be sure.

Rebooted the device and let OMGB do it's thing, thus resulting in a kernel panic - can not sync issue. This is clearly a default message on this phone which I am in peace with. (log1)

Now for the fun part, I had this ICS testbuild backup up earlier and only did a restore of the boot part. Cleared the data/cache/etc again and rebooted.

This time it just boots fine into OMGB...:confused: (log2) previous attempts resulted in a landscape layout which i wasn't able to adjust myself, but this time I got the portrait mode correct! The only part which isn't working is the keyboard and hardware buttons.

Seems the "default" startup process is hanging in the part of the AudioFlinger? I compared the 2 logs but I can't see anything really which normally would result in a kernel panic.

Attached are the logs for the default OMGB boot (log1.txt) and the ICS modified boot + OMGB system (log2.txt)

Is this still different from any other Rhod100 or just a small adjustment? If this is really unknown I will break the phone to pieces and give up on it :silly:

I'll keep this config on the phone a bit longer since data and phone is working.

Thanks for reading

Cheers

-No sound

[Update]

Made a finding myself, the problem for my phone lies within the libhtc_acoustic.so removing this file made NAND boot up for the first time on this phone. Now looking for a compatible acoustic replacement which generates sound.

Going to try copying/pushing the file from FRX0.7 to NAND CM7.2 and see what it does. Including replacing my csv's from WinMo in the /system/etc folder.

[Update2]

Installed CM7.2 2.6.27 version today and used the FRX0.7 aucoustic.so, which resulted in a perfectly working android without sound...

now going after the csv's, which I hope gets me sound.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Alchedin:
I did a bit myself yesterday and today, the problem lies in the libhtc_acoustic.so, removing only this file made nand boot for me finally. See above post.
