[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Technetium37:
I'm currently using Slim Bean 3.0. If I do a backup through the CWM, is it possible for me to do a full wipe, install a new rom (change from Slim Bean to Helly Bean for example) just to try it out? And if I don't like it, can I restore the backup to the previous Slim rom with all my apps and settings as they previously were?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donovan662:
Yes you can. Did it so many times
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrippingSphere:
AFAIK, when restoring a nandroid backup, make sure you are currently on the same Android system (GB, ICS, or JB) and with the same partition layout. Otherwise, your restoration will not work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Technetium37:
How do I check if I'm still on the same partition layout?

And do I need to do anything special before I restore it? Or I just boot into CWM, and restore?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrippingSphere:
For one thing, CM10 source made some changes in partition layout, new builds are different from older builds. Another thing is the different custom Rom sources such as AOKP, SlimRom, and Cyanogenmod. They may have different partition layouts (although I'm not sure about this).

The safest procedure, if you want to restore a nandroid backup, is to flash the Rom first then do the restoration of the nandroid backup.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Technetium37:
I see, and do I need to wipe anything before I restore a backup?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrippingSphere:
I'm not sure if it's required but i do the 3 wipes (data, cache, and dalvik) before restoration and i don't experience any problem
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spiralzz:
No.

I don't like some Sammy icons, here is pure icons pack for some application.

Sammy version I tested it on deodexed Wanamlite, but on Neat and next Sammy deodexed, I think, is OK also. Another try and please put here report. THX.

Alliance version is tested, of course :) , on Alliance V6 - GREAT ROM! ....version for Alliance use only if you still have original kernel (included TWRP), which you get with Alliance ROM. If not, use file for Sammy.

It doesn't function on Omega Rom! (different directory tree then original Sammy)

Screens (from Sammy):

Icons was changed by next applications:

ClockPackage.apk, FmRadio.apk, JobManager.apk, MusicPlayer.apk, SamsungCamera.apk, SecBrowser.apk, SecCalculator2.apk, SecCalendar.apk, SecContacts.apk, SecGallery2.apk, SecMms.apk, SecNoteMyFiles.apk, SecPhone.apk, VideoPlayer.apk, VoiceRecorder.apk.

Download:

For Sammy LSJ and LS8: Pure Icon pack_VRTheme- XXLSJ_LS8.zip

For Alliance V6 LS8 Pure Icons VRTheme_TWRP_AllianceV6_LS8.zip - use only if you still have original kernel (included TWRP), which you get with Alliance ROM. If not, use file for Sammy. Be patient during flashing

Install:

- backup, backup, backup!

- download the *.zip file

- download to Recovery

- wipe cache and Dalvik cache

- select ZIP file and install

- reboot

- enjoy it

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
@OP, Actually please don't follow that guide. Just reading a few lines shows that:

1. It says to Task29 (never a necessary step)

2. It then says 'install HSPL'. Either HSPL 2.08 is already installed (so this step isn't needed) or you've just messed up your phone by trying to flash Task29 without HSPL

3. It says to repartition with a 200MB system and 45MB cache - you actually repartition as per the ROMs requirements, and 45MB cache is just a waste of space (most ROMs recommend 5, people have flashed as low as 2MB without issue)

4. It says to transfer the ROM to your SD card via CWM, which can cause the .zips to be corrupted. Always transfer via an SD card reader if possible, or within an OS (not MAGLDR or CWM).

5. It says that you have to set the boot settings to AD NAND when you don't

Whilst it's great that you're trying to help people out and write your own guides, don't do so when you're ill-informed and don't really know what you're doing. It's best just to stick with already existing guides.

@OP, try the guide in my sig if you're looking for one which is easy to follow, has clearly outlined steps and is (most importantly) correct.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jemal:
Hi all,

I have just got myself a N8010 and I cannot find a shortcut on virtual keyboard in order to start handwriting recognition. The only app where I can actually use s pen for handwriting recognition is S Notes. I'm sure there is a way to use handwriting instead of keyboard. I just dont know how to do it. Any help?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmwitz:
If you are using the Samsung keyboard and it does not go blank when you have the S-Pen close to it then you need to check the settings the S-Pen under Language and Input. It should say something like "Auto detect S-Pen". Try the Samsung keyboard setting directly from the keyboard. Good luck

---------- Post added at 01:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

If you open a text field wit the s-pen the text recognition pad should open automatically. If you then pull down the notification blind and choose: Choose input method/Setup input methods/Settins (gear wheel)/Handwriting/Recognition speed and choose 300ms it works faster. 200ms would be ideal imo but you can't choose that.

Press and hold the settings button just to the left of the spacebar and you will get a popup with 3 options, let go of the first button and select the 'T' for handwriting input, the settings button from this point on will be changed into a handwriting button (make sure you have handwriting input turned on in the Samsung keyboard settings).

I have heard of people running into the LG Security boot errors when uninstalling Google apps. I am wondering if the bloatware rogers ones are safe to remove?
[LG Optimus G (International)] dpvu:
Do not remove anything if you haven't installed Project FreeGee to unlock your bootloader and remove security check.
[LG Optimus G (International)] BloodBaron:
nope i got the security error just by freezing them :( i got it replaced by warranty and installed v 0.5 of FreeGee and havent had any issues since :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] jonnyg1097:
Wow even by just freezing them? I thought for sure that would of been an easy work around of making them go away from being shown at least
[LG Optimus G (International)] BloodBaron:
so did i, other people have frozen apps without issue tho, maybe it was a mistake on my part, you can always hide the apps by installing a custom launcher such as Nova or Apex i believe both of these have a option to hide the apps from the application tray

and reboot into bootmenu

but not full permission.

Backup stuck at /system

....

Did you port the recovery from source? You can change it font smaller.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aweosomeabhijeet:
Hey Mazen I would like to suggest you something.

Open bootmenu folder go to script folder and open stock.sh

and add

rm -r /system/etc/init.d/97bootmenu
reboot

Then if you select boot>Stock your phone will reboot twice and boot normally.

then no need of using adb in PC.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mEmoZz:
I make everything as u say and restarted it above 6 times but nothing happens and my device starts normally!!!

EDIT: try to change permissions of 97bootmenu to rwxr-r- & restart 2 times but nothing happened!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mazen.kh:
I built it online and modded some files, couldn't build from source, the font is not so important right now so i'm working on fixing the nandroid backup

I tried that once and it booted to the bootmenu again but i will retry, thanks :laugh:

Hey guys has anyone an european sbf for the xt311, i really need it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dr. Hurt:
Hey Mazen,

How did you manage to get CWM to make a full backup. I tried everything but it just freezes on system. I edited recovery.fstab to point to /dev/block/mtdblock* for every partition but it keeps complaining that it can't find that volume to mount.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mazen.kh:
I added mkyaffs2image

and AndYRo fixed a couple of mounting errors, if you build CWM 6 online you can take our xt311's modded files and only replace "recovery" file in /recovery/sbin/, with the corresponding one in your CWM 6
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dr. Hurt:
Edit: I ported CWM6 to my phone manually and it loads and backs up boot and recovery but still gets stuck on /system :(

Any ideas?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] andyro2008:
I was checking the modifications in recovery.sh file.

## Unmount partitions and kill remaining processes

$BB_STATIC umount -l /system

$BB_STATIC umount -l /data

Lazy umount detachs the filesystem from the filesystem hierarchy now, and cleanup all references to the filesystem as soon as it is not busy anymore. It does not kill anything, so the partition will never stop being busy, and never will be really unmounted. Proof of this is that services continue running in the background, as /system/bin/ServiceManager or ADB that works, except the shell.

In brief, /system is detached from the filesystem, but still mounted and in use.

Did anyone try to format the system partition? I believe that before completing the formatting, or restore a backup of the system, the kernel will restart the cellphone (when formatting affects the ServiceManager) and end in a bootloop, besides damaging the CWR
