The twlauncher. The s3 seems to be fine

By the way just did a factory reset and it deleted all the apps and widgets from the data zip. flashed it and nothing. have to do the rom installation again

I think this version of CWM comes with .hideandroidprogress because I don't see individual files being backed up or whatever, I only see the bar being filled as it progresses.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lyndone58:
I had to manually create the file.. might as well check.

I'm almost 100% sure this will solve your issue.

I thought having this file would hide the individual file names being shown during the backup? (which is already happening in my case)

---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

I created the files and the backup finished.

I'm actually not sure if this speeds up the backup or it slows down your expectations because you can't see the bar lol

Either way, it worked so thanks to you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
I purchased TiBu a long time ago but never really use it. Any time I do a major upgrade on a ROM I always start fresh from flashing the ROM to installing each app individually. I think the reason I have been doing this is because when I did a restore with TiBu a while back when I changed ROMs, I did a restore and well there were a lot of FCs. So I figure when you change or do a major update of a ROM you have to install everything fresh. Am I missing something or not doing something right with TiBu?

Does batch backup and restore just install APPS ONLY ? or can you use TiBu to restore everything as it was (backgrounds , ring tones, all settings?) Perhaps I am missing something or not understanding something correctly.

Generally from a fresh install to full setup takes me approx 2-3 hours (including doing some nandroid backups CWM) perhaps there is something I can do to help understand and make the process simplified for the future.

Thank you :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Tweakecho:
The biggest thing to remember is for a fresh install is to restore the App only no data. (saved prefs and such cause issues especially between different roms ie GB, ICS JB.)

Also if your not careful sometimes a "system" app gets restored and that is all around FC city. TiBu has come a long way and has lots of features now, but i like it just basically to keep fresh copy of the items i use. Saves the download time of each app and fining it again.

Again for most users

Back up only USER Apps no system at all. (advanced users play with this more)

If its a fresh install install Apps only no data.

Check check check, sometimes some apps are not compatible with new roms. If it has not been updated in awhile it might not work properly with jelly bean.

It also has the ability to create a flashable zip of itself so after you flash a new rom you can flash the Tibu and it will be there already after the log in and settle period to start the restore.

It only takes me an Hour or so but most of that is checking every menu of the new rom and setting things up. mostly playing :D

Sorry Mohan we seem to have hijacked the thread.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
cool thanks, for the most part when I do reinstall everything, I log onto the play store via PC, and download apps from the website. It is far easier then searching them via phone / play store ( the website has download history ) so it is just the time of going through the pages and selecting what app I want to go to my phone

Mind you I bought TiBu for a reason. Perhaps that FC issue was jumping from CM9 back to TW, I do recall it being a while ago when I had CM9 on it back when.

That .zip that TiBu creates, that is flashable from CWM? If I understood that correctly.

I will have to read up on it I suppose. Thanks for the response.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Tweakecho:
yes the zip is flashable in recoveries, i used both touch CWM and TWRP. you can even name it what ever you want :D uber convenient.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] crashpsycho:
batch back up and restore allows you to only back up app and app/data which basically allowing you save prefences and setting in apps.

and correct its not good to restore app data from one rom to another because the configs are different in each ROm.

Me personally i use Rom ToolBox Pro same option but its a little more clear in regard to what is being done.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gypsy214:
Thank you very much. Hey Mohan or anybody I am on the Hercules (Tmobile galaxy s2) I see that the bloat you have have the att and samsung. can anybody or you make one without all of the att? I just need the samsung. as I dont have the SR.

By the way guys. This is the only rom that tells my im running out of memory? I restore my apps from TB and then when all the apps are almost done I get that message. When I click on it. It takes me to Settings/Apps and I see the memory goes really low. Then again this is the only rom that I have actually have this issue. Why is that?

5.4 is coming

Just got back..and caught a nasty bug..sorry will try to post an update..soon..

coming in 5.4

- 2.8 kernel, I have ported over cm10 bln with blink support. not sure how great that is? I will be releasing it in cymbaline can someone who uses bln with whatever app verify it works ok..

- refactored the AOKP lockscreen in the customizer..most of the options will work now :)

- Kill All apps implemented

-- too sick to remember any more :)

About Backup

-------------

I don;t about others, if you are flashing custom ROM. TiBu is a MUST, their website has all the instructions for the newbie. I have not tried others, but TiBu is the only backup tool I use, don't know what else even comes close to it..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lyndone58:
Thanks for constantly updating this superb ROM. I hope you feel better. If you need a tester before release, I'm glad to help.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] minicoop7:
Same thing happened to me yesterday morning around 9am pst. Phone went blank. Pulled battery out and restarted. Unable to access the phone. Im coming from 4.0. I ended up resetting just to be able to make a call or receive text.

Installed 5.3 when i got home in he evening and everything went ok until I installed Amazon App store and swiftkey 3. It would always fc when trying to set it up.

So Im suspecting amazon app and/or one of the apps I downloaded from Amazon caused it since I've never had any issues with 4.0 before.

Anyone else with similar experience?

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jssingh:
Would be happy to test bln when you get 5.4 ready. I have it running perfect on 5.3 using Lightflow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JHK1984:
Do you notice any battery life decrease with use of BLN?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
- Regarding apps? I don't know. My suggestion is not to debloat or worse TiBu freeze, I strongly believe TiBu should remove that option. It causes more harm than good. That way if the app. has any dependencies on required sammy bits you will have it all...

- BLN: I guess people did not catch it, you can always flash the kernel posted in Cymbaline. 2.8 has the "blink control" or pulse notification bits..I wanted to see if someone could try it out.

Fantastic ROM so far - only one on the list that seems to have everything I was looking for!

One question that I couldn't seem to find an answer to (maybe not searching for the right thing?) - is there a way to change the network icons on the status bar? I really dislike that orange "4G" symbol!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jssingh:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
still out sick...

For people looking to change various icons or symbols...assuming you know apktool..the apk to mod is SystemUI.apk.

res/drawable-hdpi

data icons: tw_stat_sys_data_*.png

NOTE: if I do make a mod. to the APK you would need to reapply the changes back...

/system is always mounted as R/O. If you granted whatever app (like Root Explorer) SU privileges (it should prompt at least once), then you will be able to mount R/W.

If you are mucking with gps.conf. Then I suggest to take advantage of the toggle...replace either one of below with yours: (I recommend .embryo)

/system/etc/gps.conf.embryo

/system/etc/gps.conf.default

i.e. whatever your new gps.conf just copy it as "/system/etc/gps.conf.embryo", Then you can use RomCustomizer GPS toggle to switch between the above files (.default is Stock UCLF6)

How do you switch out of S3 launcher when you have set it as default?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jssingh:
Install a different home launcher (like a Apex or a Nova) from the Play store, and on pressing the home button it will present you with a choice.

Later on, you can set or remove the default from your Manage Applications menu. You could also download a Home Manager from the Play Store to manage your defaults.

5.4 coming this weekend..

Ok, been busy trying to catch up with work. I think, I will freeze 5.4 and release it this weekend.

What's in 5.4:

* 2.8 Kerenel

* Kill All recent apps (nice, thanks for whoever pointed it out)

* Lockscreen :

- Fast torch.

- Quick Pin Unlock

- Show lockscreen before unlock (little flaky)

* Any other bug-fixes...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hiryusama:

Hi Mohan!

So after lets say 4 hours of actual use I have come across this issue in the screen shot. So at the bottom of the AOSP lock screen there are "directions" that is covering up the carrier. Also on the status bar even though the carrier isn't supposed to show up on mine it does but disappears after ~15 seconds of turning on the screen.

Also just a quick question BLN was included in this release? I didn't see it in the release notes but seen talk about it...

~PsyCl0ne
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
Did you check the setting in Security "Lock instantly with Power"?

Yup, that need to be enabled in the kernel ramdisk, I will release one with that enabled..

Gallery3D is in the customizer, I think I have the initial state messed up. Please check/uncheck it once (so it will be saved).

yup will put it in..if it is possible easily as I have other pending things like alarm indicator and all..

Uh?? Why would you want to do that ? there is a toggle for it? And who knows what feature doing that might break, it is

framework file...not good :)

There is a setting to Hide the help text (Settings -> Display -> Hide Help Text). The Carrier label hiding is only for the StatusBar not LockScreen..that will be coming in future updates...

Great rom, been waiting for something stable enough to really settle on.
