[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahmadallica:
What I did some time ago and even tried it now again to confirm is the following:

1- Connect my GNex to Laptop. I am running Ubuntu Linux by the way.

2- Open the Terminal and change directory to Desktop for example by typing: cd Desktop

3- Start the adb server by typing adb devices which should start the adb server and show the list of devices attached which in this case should be your GNex

4- Pull the data from GNex by typing the command: adb pull /sdcard/clockworkmod

5- The files will start being pulled to the directory you specified. In this example it is Desktop

The whole "clockworkmod" directory which is located on the sdcard of your GNex and you can access "without root" wil be pulled to your laptop.

I hope this makes it clear and it is useful to you :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gauravsri:
Let me explain that /sdcard/clockworkmod is not used for nandroid backup on my nexus 4. nandroid backups are stored in /data/media/clockworkmod which are only visible as a superuser and not a normal user.

So, my question is whether we can pull that directory (/data/media/clockworkmod) directly via adb instead of first copying it to /sdcard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
That directory should not require root access.

adb pull /data/media/clockworkmod/ /clockworkmod/

A clockworkmod folder will be on your c:\ drive.

And the easiest way to push it back and keep folder integrity is to put the clockworkmod folder in an empty folder...and put it in platform tools.

adb push foldername /data/media/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gauravsri:
It does require root access. Anyway, I figured out that if I reboot in recovery mode then adb connects as root user and I'm able to pull the files from that location.

Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hednik:
My son's i777 makes me paranoid to do anything on it because of the whole "super bug" in the past. I want to flashSHOstock3 on it as an added Christmas bonus ( I know it's cheap but times are hard so got to use some ingenuity). I rooted his phone a a few months ago and flashed this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1650948

The stock rooted one. It has CWM as well so I assume I am on a safe kernel since AJ's ROM used the siyah kernel. Going from rooted stock to SHOstock3 should be a fairly easy proposition ? Is TWRP available for the i777 (safe to use) ? I am quite confused on the whole backup EFS thing as well. It is x1000 times better than CWM for me on the SGS3. Love that one. I digress. I'm comfortable with my old Cappy and SGS3 just not yet with the i777.

So any help would be great. PM is fine too. Thanks !

P.S. does it have Touchwiz UX like the skyrocket leak ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsmboost:
All you need to do is do a full wipe (including dalvik and cache) and flash the rom via CWM. And yes, it is a TW leak.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hednik:
Thanks !

I can't seem to find the ADB command to backup EFS, anyone know it ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 122ninjas:
Just use an EFS backup tool
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
It goes:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hednik:
Thank you! I just wanted to be sure as id seen it on other devices thread and I'm learning as I go with adb.

I looked at andromizer (sp?) But was kind of iffy on that method
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hednik:
So my sons phone automatically did the OTA and he says it is stuck at the booting up screen. It is on AJNnewkirks stock, debloated one. He connnected to wi-fi and it forced the update. SO.... since I don't have the phone on me what is the best option ? Get into CWM and maybe clear the cache and davlik ? Factory reset ? or should I just odin with creepy's walkthrough ?

Thanks !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You could try a wipe data/factory reset from recovery. If that doesn't get it booted, start from scratch. You're going to have to flash it in any case to get ShoStock3 on it. It's just a little more work to flash stock with root. You're going to have to put a custom kernel on before flashing ShoStock3 in either case.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mp3sum:
Having read over the numerous lengthy JB kernel threads, and not seen any similar asked and answered, here's one question I expected to see here already.

Simply, disregarding settings like wifi or background syncing or apps, which existing kernel should I select strictly for best battery life?

Ideally it should:

1) Underclock

2) Undervolt

3) Use most efficient scheduler

4) Leverage deep sleep mode

Thank you in advance for ny feedback!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mp3sum:
Cool so no opinions or anecdotal evidence out there?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
try them and find out how your device reacts to them. there is no best kernel. there is only the kernel that your device(and you) like the best since every device will react differently to any given kernel. try out a few, it only takes 2-3 minutes to flash and boot a kernel. you dont have to wipe anything when flashing a kernel, wipe nothing. take a day or two to flash different kernels. for battery life comparisons, give the kernels 2-3 cycles before judging battery life. btw, i use trinity kernel, and i thoroughly enjoy it :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebel1699:
And dont really look for "most efficient scheduler". Custom kernel all have numerous schedulers and governers. Most all use the same selection, with a few exceptions, and you can change it to the scheduler/governer combination that best suits your needs. But first, it is all aboit trial and error on which those may be for you. I am partial to motleys or m kernel by metallice. Best of luck! And most of all, have fun on the journey.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] winlinmac001:
I wish I could consolidate all the threads I've made in the past couple of weeks. However, I feel like the doubts I have before and after purchasing deserve a separate thread of its own.

When I open the back cover towards the tab area where you first open the cover, it opens just fine with a little resistance. However, when I put the cover back on, it doesn't feel solidly secured in the same tab area. I feel like that area is somewhat loose (not drastically loose), however, there is a seal and minimal squeak. Is this normal?

Its does matter, because when you register you get a 50% off code that works for a month. So if you plan on buying accessories you save a ton of money
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] anyadike:
I registered with them. The website offers a lot of docs & downloads. Speaking of which, the updated USB driver on the website for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 2 doesn't say what they improved - anyone know?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] greeneon:
you can also get a free 3 month extension on the warranty if you register online. not bad for when the year is up and tmobile refuses to service.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] achusaysblessyou:
If you paid via credit card, your credit card probably extends the manufacturers warranty by 1 year (you send for service and they reimburse you, used it to fix my tv). Also the accessories coupon is a generic code posted here at least 3 times, slickdeals twice and on the international note ii forum countless times. The only reason to register, not sure if u even had to, was to create a samsung account for the samsung apps app, got Sega's virtua tennis challenge game free.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] anyadike:
Just to clarify from my experience - less & less of my credit cards offer this, so be sure to choose the right card. Also, if your card offers warranty doubling (max of 1 year extra), it probably offers the 90 day lost/stolen replacement, too. Some cards request you register the purchases beforehand. It's worth checking your cards - My credit card did $400 worth of repairs on my laptop after the manufacturers warranty expired.

Also, if you haven't paid-off the phone, yet (i.e. you don't own it yet), you may have some trouble getting reimbursed...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tbvnz:
You also need to register if you use the Allshare Play app. BTW it works pretty well. I use it to stream or download media from my pc.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
Is there an app that allows you to make your contacts photos more clear.... ATM when someone rings me or o ring them there photo is really blury is there a way to fox this....?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rajivshahi:
i use full screen caller id. Play Store Link Here. the contact picture size in android stock contact app is decreased to 96X96 pixel when synced with google... so using a third part app is the easiest option. just search for full screen contacts in play store.

you can read more about it HERE
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vicino:
ICS can be 256x256 but when you start sync with Gmail.com downsized it to 96x96. In JB contact photos can go as high as 720x720.

Try G+ you can set High-Def contact picture in G+ and link them to your contacts .. i guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
I'm on xylon 12 which is jb.... So of in just put the contact pictures back on manual on my phone instead of using sync then they should be in higher resolution yes?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vicino:
Yes.

And try to visit this link https://www.google.com/contacts/#contacts you can set contact pictures there and Gmail not going to downsized it to 96x96

Edit: This is the full size of contract picture but not sure it's will be that big on your phone lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CallumMarks77:
So by doing it this way, my contacts will always have hi res images even when synced?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maverick_hunter:
Yes. I recently went ahead and redid all of my contact photos using the above method, and it works like a charm. The only little glitch I've noticed is when I flash a new ROM from scratch, the photos do not INITIALLY sync in high resolution. But if you give it a minute or two, or manually open each contact (I only have a few so that wasn't a problem), they fully sync and are crystal clear.

-instructions

make sure your on the oct update i have it on my server along with a copy of the original recovery

1. make sure the rom is on a external sd card.

2. flash it with vampirefo's recovery (i made a recovery script pack with bat files for an easy install and adb drivers)

3. in recovery format everything except your sdcard. (this is under mounts and storage)

4. install rom

5. enjoy!

6. -optional- you need to reinstall recovery after you install this rom

files are here

http://omniimpact.com/android/roms/myfishbear/?dir=/D2pad D2_711 with 512 memory

-tips-

do not oc over 1.1 ghz it will mess your d2pad up (fried one @1.2ghz and returned it lol)

try no-frills cpu and set it to min clock 204mhz max clock 1.008ghz interactive gov with noop scheduler for longer battery life

My device only shows 1GB of free space. Is this normal?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Primus76:
Why not update netflix? like ever?

Edit 1: Also am i missing something? On win 7 64 it doesn't install 1 driver automatically so i can't run the recovery scripts. Where do i get the proper drivers for this device?

Edit 2: Used adb drivers from another zip I had found and ran through everything. Seemed to work fine. Flashed 2.1 for 711 201212 then flashed the 160 line zip and selected reboot system. It said looks like root is missing, install? and i selected yes then got into a boot loop. Any ideas?

Edit 3: Yup i'm one of those annoying people. Got back into recovery and wipe/factory reset and then re-flashed just 2.1 and NOT the 160 line and now i'm seeing the custom boot and in now. My apologies. Trying out play!

Edit 4: Just fyi lost the higher resolution after first boot. Tried the 160 fix again and it had the bootloop. Went back and had to install your rom again and magically I was back to a better resolution. Reboot again and back to the horrible one. Any ideas how to make the resolution stick? I tried a build prop editor and saved the 160 line but that didn't seem to take.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Rayan:
I finally made it work!

I think I was using an incorrect recovery.img while I was messing with the procedure...

The think is that all went very well except that when I rebooted the D2, the screen DPI reverted to default so everything is huge again like Primus76 said on his post above.

Is there anything else we need to do to make it stick? *** found a solution by installing LCD Density Modder from the Store ***

Other than that it feels pretty snappy and stable. I'll put it through it's paces and see.

Cheers and thanks OP!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Rayan:
Sorry for double posting...

Can somebody explain where did the rest of the memory went? (see photo)

Internal I can understand, but SD Card is supposed to be 4 GB and it only has just a bit over 1 GB free!!! :confused:

Quite honestly I didn't checked that before I flashed this ROM, but I'm sure something's not right... :silly:

Thanks!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Primus76:
I'll have to check my daughters to see. I don't have it in front of me but see if you can get an app called diskusage on the play store. All one word. It should show you where everything is being used. I'll try it out later and see.

For LCD density it looks like 160 is default so I manually pushed it to 130 by editing the system file. Much better at that size but did you notice the launcher layout and app drawer are only allowing a few columns of icons? Would love to hack the launcher more. I put on nova which is great but also have kids place on there for my daughter and the 3 launchers conflict so I took it off.

How did you get the drivers to install and what is are you using? Did you have to get another zip?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Rayan:
Thanks for your DiskUsage app recommendation (I've been using it for the longest time) however this is not a case of lost storage due to data taking up space somewhere, but a problem with the storage size of the medium to begin with. In other words, total storage should be at least close to 4 GB not just 1 GB which makes me think that the storage partition (Internal "SD Card") is damaged or something. Where are the other three or so GB???

Yes I noticed about the layout not stretching, more noticeable on the app drawer.

The drivers installed without problems on my Windows 7 PRO PC. Are you running the files as administrator? (right click and "run as administrator")?

Cheers!
