I just restored this back up for the like the 3rd time today. I tried my other back ups also and none of them restored my apps and data. It said the restore was successful. there were no errors when restoring the data. this is what it said

[DAta]

skipping md5 based on user setting.

wiping data without wiping /data/media

...restoring data

... done restoring...

[data done(386 seconds)]

I didnt see any error messages on the log.

when the phone came on i didnt have my background. I have the stock live wall paper showing. google was asking for location consent again. Disabled apps were enabled again. Its like i didnt even have a backup. Its kind of just like stock. only certain things actually backed up. (for example lockscreen settings, (but no lock code just the options i set it as), it still has the message i set for the lockscreen,) My phone is not even logged in to my google account which is werid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
that backup is huge. i have a lot of apps, a lot! and lots of big games with lots of data, and my biggest nandroid took only 2gb. when you made the backup, was it with cwm recovery or twrp? my only other guess is that there is a corruption somewhere, or its too big to fit in the right partitions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotboyray:
I made the back up with twrp. I think i do have a back up with cwm but its very old. I didnt see any error messages so maybe it is too big. i do only have like 10gb of free space. maybe the reason my nandroid was so big is because of my google play music? (isnt the offline music saved as data for the app?)

Should i delete everything and try to restore the nandroid?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
ahh.. google music, makes sense. it could possibly be that you dont have enough space.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotboyray:
Do you have a galaxy nexus also? what should i delete to free up some space?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
I think the offline music is saved in the "sdcard" location that isn't normally part of a nandroid backup. Clean that up for sure.

Try cleaning up as much space as possible on the internal while leaving the backup intact. If you have at least 6 GB free the restore should go fine.

Plan B: Titanium Backup Pro allows you to open a nandroid backup and restore apps with app data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotboyray:
I currently have about 14.51GB of space free out of 28.13GB. the backup still didnt restore my data. I guess im going to have to try the titanium back up pro. which sucks because i dont want to really buy the pro version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotboyray:
Should cache be selected too when making nandroid backups?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
No, cache has nothing to do with restoring apps+data.

1. Does this tablet have I/O issues like the ASUS Transformer line does?

2. Can I somehow add a full size USB port to the N7?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barbo:
1. I am not sure what issues you are talking about so can't answer

2. Google "micro to usb" to see some adapters. No guarantee it'll do whatever you want it to do but I believe it won't do anything unless you root your N7 and then get the free app "Stickmount"
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaspar737:
The I/O issue stands in the tab being very slow when something is being read or written in the background (torrent, for example). The Prime almost crashes when there is something like that. When browsing on the Prime you get a ANR (application not responding) message often. So does the N7 have these kind of issues?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoolAidJunkie:
I have not experienced any of those issue, although I do not download torrents to a 16GB tablet..

But when games are downloading Content in the background, I have had no "ANR" or crashes
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hic9582:
I have the transformer prime and n7 and the n7 definitely does not have the I/O issues that the transformer line suffers from. As for the full size usb, just do a little research into rooting and it'll be easy

Welcome!

This forum is for any tips, questions, answers, precautions,bugs, etc. for the LG Lucid.

It's just that simple.

I will start it of with a couple questions...

Question: How to unlock Bootloader?

Answer:

Question: How do I get the LG Lucid to boot into recovery?

Answer:

1. Hold down the power key for 2 seconds

2. You will be presented with a list of phone options, select the one called "Restart"

3. A warning message will appear with two options, select "OK"

4. After the screen blacks out (about 15 secs after step 3) you will see the LG logo.

5. As soon as you see the LG logo hold down the Volume Down key and the Power key for 12 seconds, then release.

6. You will now be presented with a blue screen that has an Android Emote in the center and some text in the top left region of the screen

7. This is the boot recovery screen.

Apps you can freeze on the Lucid

With the upgrade to ICS and a built in way to disable apps, I have been able to disable quite a few of the bloatware apps on my Lucid. I am pretty sure this list is complete, but let me know if you have different results.

I am going to use Titanium Backup to uninstall them and update this post with the details.

But all the Gingerbread roms refuse to show up in adb. (I tried every which way and a few drivers as well) as said, ICS has no ADB issues with the same OS (windows) or drivers. I gave no adb issues with Samsng, Nexus 8, or even Nook roms.

This rom that I am using is CM 10. Happy but I saw also that it can have Miui which I really love! I will install that. :D

Not to worries, this is a method that I found online and not here... Wife got this phone and she found it, the owner never called me to pick it up and disconnected it so I said "I am going to root it" and that's how this adventure started.

The process to root this phone and add a recovery is simple and was posted by the Unlocker in his website. He was the one that helped me get root as this stock rom comes with an update that will not allow you to get it. Then I had root, but could not install a recovery until I found a way to downgrade the phone to Gingerbread and then install a recovery and flash CM 10.

Let me gather the pages and process and I will post it that way whoever has this phone can actually root and use it.

[General Questions and Answers] AA27:
Ok, here we go and please read carefully:

For this phone the first thing that you need is root.

The post explanation was made by the Unlocker but the file is here in XDA Developers!

http://theunlockr.com/2013/06/16/how-to-root-the-lg-lucid-4g-bin4ry-method/

then go

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460

That covers how to root

Then we go to the interesting part: How to downgrade

Here is an interesting post on how to downgrade made by wiisixtyfour, please read it as it does cover how to downgrade this phone and that is by flashing a stock GB Rom.

http://androidforums.com/lucid-all-things-root/668653-unlocked-bootload-cm10.html#post5368911

The cab file that you guys need is not there, but not to worry. I found a place that has everything you need.

https://e2974b88f30035dbd6eeab643e8e16d6469292f2.googledrive.com/host/0B6qm6EiEv6LSTjNUUVczU2h4M1k/

Need to download the cab file and convert it to .kdz file. Once you do that and flash it correctly it will reboot to Gingerbread and be downgraded.

Things to keep in mind:

Do install the USB drivers for this phone.

When you are doing the transfer of files be sure to put the USB connection in Ethernet instead of charging.

In order to transfer the files you need also to put the phone in download mode. You do that by:

Turning off the phone, and restarting the phone pressing the up and down volume button on the left of the phone and also pressing the power button. This needs to be done with the USB cable already connected to the computer and the phone.

The Downgrade process do take some time and is ok, as long as you flash the right file. Be sure that the file is a 840 phone file not a 870.

Once the phone is rooted and downgrade install CWM. You can get it from the Android market and that will install you recovery.

If you can go to recovery then is a matter of connecting via USB or mounting the phone to transfer CM 10.0 in the phone and then flashing it so the phone can be upgraded.

Wipe, clean cache, all that good stuff.

Flash Rom and Gapps and that should do the job.

LG LUCID ROOT,RECOVERy & ROMS (INFO)

First of all LG not a huge fan but i prefer HTC, among the time i spent with this lg lucid i thought it well to give some information

about the LG Lucid, aka the VS840,

First of all there are a load of security certificates that prevent custom Recover and ROMS, so if your looking for those things, my

guess is its not gonna happen.

Second Among rooting this device there's not much else you can do which is a super simple thing to do, ill post 2 links that will root

this device EASILY!!!!!!

First The drivers: http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-VS840

*Usb Drivers at bottom of page*

Then the ROOT Package: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460

*for newbies you run the runme.bat file and a command prompt will pop op with choices for root...

the first option is the one you use(type 0 then enter).
