The onandroid script, which Online Nandroid Backup uses internally, isn't prepared to backup the custpack partitiom, AFAIK. Maybe they have included it in newer versions, but the one available when I was developing my own script didn't include it. In fact, the CWM recovery I compiled already has the correct recovery.fstab, which includes the custpack partition, but that's not enough. The underlying code responsible for the backup itself doesn't use the partition table to backup anything, it just backups /system, /data, /cache and .android_secure.

The onandroid script contains code to backup non standard partitions found on phones from other brands, such as Samsung, Sony Ericsson, etc., but nothing to deal with Alcatel phones. Anyway, even if it did, the restore function on the CWM Recovery we currently have, wouldn't be able to restore the custpack partition, for the reasons mentioned above.

That's why I suggested that the best way to get it done would be messing with the CWM Recovery source code and modifying the backup and restore functions, but I don't know if such a thing would even be possible, and even if it was, my coding skills don't include Unix programming.

If anyone is experienced enough in Unix/Linux programming, maybe he/she could get it done.

Have you ever tried to use it?

Regarding online nandroid backup, I've seen that there is a profile for alcatel 995 and it's similar to our partition layout.

Anyone knows how to edit it to adapt it to alcatel 997?

You can make a request at the developers website
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jman0:
Be very very careful. OT-995 and OT-997 have different partition layouts. They are not compatible.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stiw47:
Sorry cause light off topic, but what do you think: is it safe to try install this cwm on Alcatel 992D? 992D is a very similar phone like 997D, only diferents are camera and ram.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jman0:
It could work, since both phones look so similar, but I wouldn't advice it, unless you're ready to use Alcatel Onetouch Upgrade and loose your data, in case my CWM recovery doesn't work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] robin-sips:
Maybe a stupid question, i don't have programing skills, only general pc hardware knowledge, bit of android knowledge.

Is it possible to remove the cust pack partition? so our device becomes more compatible with CWM?

i don't know why alcatel uses this layout, much simpler to use standard google layout, everything dropped in the system folder instead of cust pack

sry for my bad english, i have a few mtk phones now, alcatel is the best one by far, very good gps reception, but i would love to give it another look, if anyone can get this devices deodexed, that would be a big step in the right direction.....

thanks for your continu support guy's ;)

My girlfriends phone is an Alcatel Onetouch 997D and it's a shame that there's no working recovery for it. After this patches, the only thing missing should be the Alcatel exclusive custpack partition.

Anyone know a way to repair/replace a screen? My warranty expired forever ago.....
[Acer Iconia A500] X_lawl_X:
You need to buy a digitizer to replace it. There are some video tutorials on YouTube how to disassemble the tab which can be quite usefull.

If you are lucky, you can remove the broken digitizer from the lcd display without damaging it (which is almost impossible since its glued but you can give it a shot), otherwise you need to buy a new lcd display as well.

Good luck!

basically i want to get back to a fresh start, as i think some issues im having trying new roms that arent working are because the system is a mess.

i have a rogers s3 1747, currently rooted and on frosty jb

but some odd things happen when i load a newer version of this rom series, and even when i restore my backups some odd things continue.

so..........

what i want to do is , set it back to stock, grab my official jelly bean update from rogers, then root it, and make a nandroid backup of that.

then i can continue on and play with other roms.

It should not (it certainly doesn't erase the internal storage, i.e. what appears as an internal SD card as opposed to /data and the like).

If you're really paranoid about it, you could always remove the card first.

thanx guys

another question somebody might be able to help me with, i`d ask in the actual thread but it tells me i cant yet ?

anyways

ive been using frosty jb v4 for awhile, awesome rom. its for att

wanted to try frosty v11.2.1 its -T999 UVLDJA Base, but many have said it can be used on 1747 from rogers.

well i have installed it, and the odd thing is, everything works great except 1 app, when i open contacts, i get a force close, right away, havent touched anything as far as changes go.

thats why i wanted to get back to stock cause i thought my phone was just messed up with various rom files.

it says this as part of the instructions.........

For BEST RESULTS: If coming from ICS or AOSP based ROM I suggest you Odin to stock UVDLJA first then flash Frosty Jellybean!

that meaan i have to flash a stock of UVDLJA from t999 ? to get it to work better?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonysosw:
Hey guys,

I am on Omega v34 and I have a problem with media scanner draining my battery life. Overnight I would lose 60% of my battery life and BBS has pointed it to media scanner wakelocks.

I have tried the rescan media root app from play store, it worked like a charm for the first few days with no problem at all and battery life was improved substantially. However since yesterday whenever I unlock the phone I will get a notification saying that 'SD card was removed unexpectedly' and it will mount the sd card immediately. It does not seems to affect anything, other than waking up the phone now takes a couple of seconds instead of immediate. However I would still like to find a way to fix this problem.

It definitely has something to do with disabling the media scanner, because after I re-enabled it the sd card is working properly and I did not get the sd card removed notification. As soon as i disabled the scanner, i get the notification again.

I am using Sandisk 32gb class 10, on the disk I have photos from the phone camera, some videos and a folder for titanium backup files.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielk0302:
Sounds like what I have, apart from I have more on my memory card, Sandisk 32gb Class 6. I formatted the card and for a few hours it was fine then it started unmounting and re scanning which drains battery and wakes the phone. Alot of people are having this or similar problems with memory crads so it looks like a samsung fault :/
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxymalny:
I had three different memory cards and had the same issues with each of them. I've tried everything - different roms, kernels, customs, stocks - same results. Sometimes started just after I've put the card in, sometimes after couple days. 'SD card removed unexpectedly', 'Preparing SD Card' and finally 'Damaged SD Card, try to format it'. After couple of weeks I gave up, cleaned everything and sent it to my provider for warranty fix (with other issue - details here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2035618).

Phone returned as 'fixed' but nothing changed, card issue was still the same.

On Monday I'll send it again with the same faults. I'll keep you guys update, maybe it helps someone.

This guide wasn't made by me, it's available here

In this post we will explain a different process to root a Samsung Galaxy ACE device model GT-S5839i, because the process using SuperOneClick that we explained in a previous post to root a model GT-S5830 with android 2.3.5 does not work on this new model.

1. Download the file root.zip and copy it (without uncompressing it) to the sdcard

2. Switch off the device, and switch it on in recovery mode (press and hold at the same time the buttons “Volume Up”, “Power” and “Home”. Release the buttons when the device starts booting). After a while, the recovery menu is displayed

We can move from option to option in the menu by pressing “Volume Up” and “Volume Down”.

Choose the option “install zip from sdcard”, chosse the file “root.zip” and press the “Home” button.

3. Again, in the recovery menu, choose “reboot system now” and press the “Home” button, and that’s it!

Please thank the author!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] PearJuice:
1. How do I turn off floating touch completely? It makes gaming impossible, and has no real benefits other than previewing xvideos.com clips. I of course tried disabling glove mode, no success. I tried installing an app that was supposed to turn it off, it even requested root, but did nothing after reboot.

2. How do I disable the the illumination bar and the backlight of the capacitive buttons permanently? The led illuminates one side more than the other and it doesn't look good. A couple of apps allowed me to do this, but then they just stopped running in the background and the lights were back. I need a permanent solution here.

3. I love the option that I can limit my background processes, but I always end up with my xperia home closed, and the whole home screen gets reloaded. Can I add it as a specific exception? So a max of 4 processes, but never close xperia home.

4. The screen is flickering when I set the backlight to the lowest setting. I have my auto brightness off. What could be the problem?

5. After the ICS update, the notification bar has two battery indicators, one is a percentage, the other one is an icon. How do I get rid of one without installing a loader?

+1. How can I make my Sola more responsive? I froze bloatware, I restart the phone pretty much every day, but it seems to lag and freeze all the time.

Use a custom rom like CM and most of your problems will be solved!!!

But its meant for unlocked Bootloaders only ..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Silver-7:
Yes, you need to flash CM as it doesn't have floating touch, and users say it's the fastest.

But I can tell you about flickering, it's normal no problem with that.

As to battery percentage, you must flash a modded notifications bar, you can find many in Apps section.

As to reloaded home, make sure u have latest .54 firmware, try using task killer, or simply another home launcher, and set background processes to 3 max.

I tried to restart it with power button + volume up combination but still nothing,I left it plugged in for about 3 hours and still nothing.

I've read Posts describing the same problem and the guy got a replacement unit, I want to ask about the custom ROM I installed, would it void the warranty, I haven't unlocked the boot loader, I just rooted it and installed a recovery to flash the ROM, Would they even notice?

I just want to confirm if I had voided my warranty.

Try force shutdown volume+ and power button till phone vibrates 3 times

Charge it atleast for 3-5 hrs
