[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DF5JT:
I like to play around with ROMs and since the S3 is my shiny new toy, I like to explore all the different approaches to cooking ROMs. Currently I use Criskelo, but I find the Paranoid ROMs extremelyinteresting in the hybrid modes. However, with a nandroid backup and restore of /data my device is stuck in a boot loop. This is common, obviously, since more or less all ROMs recommend a full wipe.

As a Linux user I am used to installing different distributions on various partitions in a multi boot setup. I never touch my /home and I have never had any problems, due to the strict separation between /home and root partition.

What can I do to simulate the same behaviour an android, i.e. what backup programs can help me to keep all my user data intact, including SMS, phone call history, passwords etc.

Nanroid makes a backup as tar.gz, but I feel overwhelmed by the number of files contained in it and wouldn't know which ones to restore and which ones not. Why is it that something contained in /data affects anything outside user land space, that is /system and /boot?

Has anyone found a solution to the dilemma?

I ise titanium backup. Restore your apps with data and you ate good to go. There are apps for messages and stuff
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Titanium does the lot, just don't restore system data between different ROMs and be careful with app data as it can cause issues.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DF5JT:
But that exactly was the question. How can I know which data actually makes the device boot loop? The resulting problems are the same, if a full backup of /data is made, no matter whether I do it via nandroid or TBP.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
I never had problems restoring apps data.

You might have problems if you restore system apps with data.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
With TB you can select what to restore, personally I only restore really important data the rest I can live without. Usually apps with issues will refuse to restore with TB.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slashnburn:
I tend to find a 2 step approach to restoring apps and data is required.

Assumng you`ve done a full wipe, (the holy trinity of Data/Cache/Dalvik) and you`ve flashed your ROM, and have made it to the desktop, and installed Titanium

1. Using the batch function,Do a mass restore of everything, but make sure the "app only" button is pressed.

2. Go back and do the same again, but this time deselect all, and select "data only" and go down the list and check only the vital apps who`s data you want restoring, stuff like call history, SMS logs, email, etc.The slimmer you keep this list, the less chance you will have of any issues..

I use titanium. However dont use it to restore onto a PA rom as it doesn't like it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DF5JT:
Hm. Does this mean all users of the PA ROMs discard all their personal data and use their phone as a playstation? I can't believe that and I really would love to use the PA ROMs with full use of my personal data, settings and apps. How do other people manage this when neither nandroid nor TBP works in this case?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Google backs up a lot of your data / Settings and apps can be reinstalled from source.

what i've learnt after a lot of reading at the xda one can restore user apps + data but not system app should not be restored like in my case i flashed rr rom and mistskenly restored system apps of phone with data+ app option and it posed issues.

TBP as such will give warning that restoring system app+ data might pose issues so you have to avoid it simple

My issue as of late is that when I click on small links surrounded by other links on a web page using the stylus, an adjacent link often opens. I am using the hover-dot for the stylus, and both it and the tip of the stylus hit the link that I want, but it actuates another one. The work-around is that I have to double-tap-zoom the screen and tap the link I want, then I can zoom back out.

Anyone else having this problem?

Hey, I still am on the very first version of the note firmware because I don't want to screw up s note.

I get the problem you are describing once in a while, specially if the tablet hasn't been rebooted for days. My solution is a simple reboot and then the responsiveness of the touch is perfect again.

Also to mention is another issue which I get after a few days once in a while, the screen resolution all of a sudden seems messed up. The colors turn out weird and u can see definately more pixels. Maybe the display improving system of the note screen gets turned off some how and i get the pure 1280x800 screen. Luckily a reboot also fixes this. Also both issues happen very very rarely, maybe once a week.

I got a new Note 10.1 about a month ago (July 2013) and I believe it already had the updated version. The touch worked perfectly for about two weeks then - bang - can't touch link at all if it's small, can't get right link if they are close... Sometimes I don't know if I'm trying to touch a link that's "grayed out" or if I'm having a touch problem. I've even had to rub at a link to get it to work. But the keyboard and system buttons seem to work fine???????? How bad do dry hands/fingers affect touch?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi Everyone!

I am pretty new to Android Development but have a great app idea for the Play Store, one small part of it, requires me to get the device info such as CPU Speed, CPU Name, device model number, device manufacturer, RAM, storage on sdcard, and some other stuff like that.

My main concern is how would I get those things? I know some apps out there get that info already like Quadrant or Android System Info, but I don't want to decompile them.

So what is the best way you recommend to get those specs from the system and put it into an app variable.

I can't seem to find the correct forum to post this in so I apologize if it is in the wrong section as this doesn't have to do with ROM Dev.

Thanks!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewadegeek:
This forum works fine, we use it for app questions as well. I would suggest you look into the Linux command line commands to perform those functions, and then look at what the /proc interfaces do in a Linux system.

Good luck.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Thanks for your reply!

I found online before this command just it doesn't really give me any useful info like cpu speed, it just gives the cpu type (ex: armv7) and the serial number/device ID. Here's the command: adb shell getprop | grep abi

I will look into more specific commands like that one though for RAM, storage, etc...

Also, how would I make the APP ITSELF run the command through Java? I know how to do it with adb shell just not in java...

Thanks!

Please don't use system binaries and run shell commands unless that binary is local to your application. Android has APIs to gather properties use that. Use Java to read files for information in /proc.

Local binaries will always change and will be different. Controlling everything through java logic is the best way to go.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab (Verzion SCH-I800). I have been searching the forums and Google for an ICS ROM to flash but I am not sure if the ones I have found are for the SCH-I800 specifically. I assume that having one for that particular model number is important? I see tons for the p1000, etc. The few I have stumbled across all had bad or dead links. Anyone have or know of a good thread for a ICS ROM with working links?

If there is nothing for ICS, does any one have a link to the best way to Flash this back to stock (root or not rooted makes no difference to me)?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] V3TTOO:
Hello,

I have been looking through different forums trying to look for a clear answer. I assume, since the Circle Battery mod requires editing the SystemUI.apk, each one has to be edited for individual roms. So far, I have not been able to find anything for the Verizon SGS3 with CM10. Also, if I read correctly, CM10 has the 1% battery increments built in, so no mod is needed to show that, correct?

This is a request for AT&T version, with comments:

And this is pretty much what I am looking for, but for CM10 and not Beans:

If anyone can give me some idea on what to search for or maybe something I can do on my own, it would be much appreciated. I just recently started messing around with modding this year, after getting the Galaxy Nexus last year. So far, all I know is rooting, unlocking bootloader, and some rom stuff.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] V3TTOO:
oppenents bearlia

After some testing, I tried 1-percent-circlemod-img-by-zuberio.zip and it changed the icon, but the 1% mod doesn't seem to be part of CM10 for the S3. I can change the battery icon to text, which will show the 1% increments, but the image version doesn't.

What do I need to do to add the 1% mod only? I tried the one from the link below, but not sure if that will add it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] V3TTOO:
Let me see if I understand this right.

First I need to decompile the SystemUI.apk, or else you can't edit the file.

Second, replace the res/drawable/stat_sys_battery.xml file with one that includes the 0-100 and the same for the charging xml.

Third, add in the images for the different resolutions.

Last, recompile.

Do I got that right?

So, can I somehow make a SystemUI.apk in a flashable zip file that will only updated the XML and PNG files for the mod? That way I just run that after a nightly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mybook4:
Your method seems reasonable. I would start with only the battery images first and go from there. When you change too much at once you don't know where the problem is.

Using apktool isn't bad at all. On page 12 of Sheffy007's nav bar thread, I posted a guide for using apktool to enable the nav bar. You could follow it but instead of changing framework-res.apk, you would change SystemUI.apk. Also, CM10 obviously doesn't have/need twframework-res.apk.

When you pull your system/app/SystemUI.apk, you also need to pull system/framework/framework-res.apk.

Also, when playing around it's a good idea to create two flashable zips. One that flashes your mod and another that flashes back your original SystemUI.apk. Creating a flashable zip isn't bad at all. Open the META-INF files and you'll easily get it. You can modify the flashable zip I made in the thread you linked to. I don't think you'd have to change much except open the zip in 7 zip and overwrite the SystemUI.apk.

As far as I know, because you would have to rebuild the SystemUI.apk with the changes to enable circle mod, I think you would have to change the SystemUI.apk every nightly to ensure full compatibility. I'm going to flash M2 tonight. I recommend the same. The M builds include the best from the previous Nightlies and are released about once a month (you wouldn't have to change your SystemUI.apk every night.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] V3TTOO:
Cool, thanks for the info. So is there a way to make a flashable zip that can update the SystemUI.apk in the nightly, but only change the drawable files for the battery? I assume not, that is why we replace the while apk.

[Android Apps and Games] Millenium Apps:
Hi,

Thank you zalaros for the feedback ;) happy to see that you like it :)

For your request, I think that I did it in a better way:

1- Go to "Parameters" -> set "Shaking Intensity" to "Very small"

2- Set "Stop mode" of the alarm to "shake"

When the alarm goes on, all what you need is to take quickly the mobile in your hand (and if you want flip it quickly if it doesn't snooze) and it will snooze ;) (or stop if there is no remaining repeats or you check "Direct stop after shaking" in "Parameters") ;)

Give it a try and tell me what do you think ;)

Don't forget to rate and commente the app please, when you have some free time :D
