this fixed rooted galaxy s6

Holy moses- yes this thread got off track, but i'm glad i kept scrolling and found your reply-

I had just gotten a new galaxy s6, rooted it, and though the tibu folder was absolutely full with all my old backups from the old phone, none appeared. It turned out to be a 'filter' issue, and just clicking the green "check" in the upper right corner, and all reappeared.

thanks- i was messing with this for hours before i found your reply

a simple rename did the trick

I just had an odd experience recently (as in yesterday) and this thread didn't help. however, I found something new that might help other ppl.

A brief background, I took a backup from my first S5 (now being utilized by my wife) then copied the files from the phone memory to the SD card. After setting up my second S5 (flashed then root process) copied the backup files from SD card to the phohe memory. But when I ran TB it can't find/detect the files, so meaning I wasn't able to restore anything. What's odd is I didn't experience this when I first setup my wife's S5, all went very smooth.

After many hours of digging I finally found a solution (in my case, at least). All I did was to rename all the backup files with extensions .gz.zip to .gz and wallah!

Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] menvert:
OMG Thanks so much this has been confusing me for days....

The difference with us as far as I can tell is that at some stage we used windows to copy our old backups to the new phone/SDcard...

And I assume the stupid MTP protocol is 'smart' and does some file conversion, in this case, adding .zip to the .gz files...

Anyway I wasn't about to rename 100 files, so I used 7zip to make one big .tar file from my original SDcard and copied that to the new Phone via windows and then used a phone app to decompress to my TIB backup folder...

Another NOTE: I copied them to /storage/external_SD/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/ to avoid any other permissions issues... (I am on Lolipop)

Titanium Backup (non Pro) does not restore.

I have a rooted Lollipop 5.0.

Titanium did backup.

While restoring, it was showing me, 'NOT ENOUGH AVAILABLE SPACE' which is wrong error.

So then as per some of the instructions here in the forum, I cleared the cache and data of the following:

1. Play Store

2. Play Services

3. Download

4. Download Manager

Titanium back failed to show all the app files in the menu>restore option, though the app backup tar.gz files where present in the TitaniumBackup folder.

I even deleted the odex file created by Titanium in Data>App>Titanium Backup to see if it solves. Still the problem of not showing the app, in the restore section continued.

Please help if you can suggest something more.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BLACDRAGON:
That was it for me too

Also .properties.txt to .properties

somehow the phone or filemanager automatically assigned extensions to the files.

I'm using oneplus x.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] optimusodd:
Thanks for the input mate.

You mean when you decompressed the file inside TB folder,the extensions of the files reverted to original form ?And what's the point of moving TB folder to "/storage/external_SD/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/" ?

Thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] menvert:
If i remember correctly.

When you copy a .gz file using the standard usb mode, it will always (trying to help) rename the file and add .zip to the end. So i had to make one big archive and copy that instead. So, yes i used a file browser to extract all the .gz to that path above.

That path above is simply the 100% TiB is allowed full read/write/delete according to the way android does SD card permissions in the last few revisions, so this way you don't have to use a root editor and hack stuff. (though in Marshmallow there is no longer a /storage/external_SD location it is now something like /storage/0000-0000/ )
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] optimusodd:
Thanks for the reply.I guess I was not clear enough,actually the thing I want to know is how to remove .zip and .txt extensions from the files in a batch.Removing the extension of more that 300 files one by one is a tedious task.

I copied the TB folder to PC and the extensions of the files converted from .gz to .gz.zip and .properties to .properties.txt.

I want to know how to revert them to original form.

One more thing,do we also need to revert to ".properties" from ".properties.txt" to get things working ? Yes ?

Thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] menvert:
It was a while ago, i will have to assume i still had the original data on SD (think i was upgrading from 32 to 64Gb at same time) so i either used an android app to create the archive (.tar) or used 7zip on windows to make the .tar direct fron the SD in a card reader.

I don't have a quick fix if you only have the [damaged] files with the extra extention.

You'd need a batch renamer or be a pro on awk in a command prompt or something....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] optimusodd:
Resolved the problem by running the renaming command on command line.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Angel-King:
you may have had any filters on check and clear all of them & this happened to me as well I deleted all the original backup files in phone directory after copying them to sdcard through windows no changes in the extensions and then copied all the files again through phone to backup directory

earlier I searched for a file and that name was stuck in the search bar of backup/restore all I did was clear it by searching again entering no value hope it helps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] innit:
many thanks sir. this is the only way that worked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] excelly2k1:
Pl in detail.

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

I removed my 670 files extension (i.e .zip, .txt) with the below app in secs.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.klangappdev.bulkrenamewizard
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] optimusodd:
I used Command Line and run the following command to remove the the additional extension (.zip) while leaving the rest of the name and extension intact.

ren *.zip *.

Other Windows programs like Bulk Rename Utility and Bulk Extension Changer can also be used.

Thanks for sharing that app,that might be useful for many users.:)

copy bkp files to internal,

just made an app bkp and copy my bkp files to that folder etc.

still my TB doesn't detect my old bkp

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeremyenos:
Saved me!!

THANK YOU FOR THIS POST!! For some reason, I didn't search properly and didn't find it before a ton of other stuff, but I'm sure glad I found it eventually. Honestly, I don't know how I missed that detail since I was comparing new and old TIBU folders, but perhaps I never did it with my eyes wide open. I was always assuming some screwage with TIBU was at fault.

My first restore was w/o also renaming the properties to drop the .txt extension, but it seemed to work. I did it over again though after seeing the later post that mentioned the properties.txt was also screwed up. No idea if that makes a difference or not in success level.

I did notice that all the bulk rename android apps I could find failed miserably at the task, ultimately I just ran a for loop in an adb root shell to do it. I saw someone ask what the heck tags these extensions on in the first place... I don't think these ever were copied or moved by Windows, so I am a little unclear on that yet. I used ES File Explorer to move them around originally I think (to the ext SD).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] raghu102:
Thanks u guys... worked great after an hour of trying to figure out what went wrong. Opened the backup folder in windows & used command prompt to rename the files using RENAME *.gz.zip *. & RENAME *.properties.txt *.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rutu3:
Thanks :) this post saved me. XDA is truly great knowledge base. I had clean flashed twice but still no app in restore section.

But never faced this issue with TB before this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bednim:
Thanks for that, happened to me today!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] supak111:
WOW thank you! This needs to be a sticky!!! This wasn't the first time I've lost TB backups. This 100% works. Just remove: .zip and .txt from ALL the files names. Technically TB can fix this, this has to be a bug in their app I'm thinking probably between newer and older versions of the app maybe?

I personally didn't do this manually. I pulled all the files to my laptop and used software to remove last 4 characters from all the files, but I'm sure there are apps on the play store for quick file renaming or removing characters to save you time

PS you can do this with an FREE android app called "Bulk Rename Wizard", used the "edit filename extension" and when it asks you what the new extension name is, just leave it blank this way it will rename all the .txt and .zip to blank basically removing them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Seppel007:

Thank you for this solution...I´ve been dealing with this problem since I formated my sdcard and the formatting changed its label. I saved my backup folder and put it back on the newly formatted card, but Tibu kept looking for the "old" card and even searching the entire device didn´t help. Thank you

[General Accessories] tecknohow:
I had an idea for a product that I think would appeal to phone/technology or car enthusiasts. I'm looking around to see if there is any real interest in the product. If there is, I'll probably start a Kickstarter for the product. I made a quick survey to let me know if there is a market and would appreciate it if everyone who sees this could take a minute to fill it out. I do not want to ruin the survey by telling you what the product is here, but I will say that it is an infotainment device targeted at the aftermarket radio and the standalone GPS markets. I'll post a follow up with a product description, my thoughts and designs if the survey goes well. If you have any questions or suggestions please let me know below!!!! And thank you guys a bunch in advance.

Here is the survey.

Is there any possible way to implant an emoji button into the stock messaging app without having to change the keyboard type?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Robalboa:
I see the multi view mod on a few roms but i was wondering if someone would post or make a zip file to flash for stock rooted Roms.

it seems like no ones willing to share the working mod.

thanks ahead of time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Maybe because its not just a simple mod :rolleyes: it requires flashing a good portion of /system partition to work. Its in frameworks, flashbar, android policy etc etc etc. So you might as well just flash a whole rom with it already added

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Robalboa:
It's only a few files and one app. It could be thrown on an. Installer in no time. I tried a few times to manually do it but couldn't get it right.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Actually its not, I've been working on porting it over to the et4g and it requires edits in dozens of files as well as the frameworks-res apk plus the flashbar apk android.policy.jar android services.jar damn near every file in /system partition with the exception of a few need to be edited to activate multiwindow

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Robalboa:
This has been done on the gs3. All the files and smali changes have been done on lj7. Just asking someone to share

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
You're not understanding what I'm saying. Due to the amount of changes you're better off flashing the whole rom with the mod already added, just the mod alone could easily break whatever rom you flash it to from all the replaced system files not matching up with the other mods in the rom. It's not like you're flashing a modded systemui only its a good portion of the files in /system than have yo be edited to "turn on" the feature so essentially you'd be flashing 3/4 of the roms /system partition which could/would break something in the rom.

I like to break stuff! :D

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Romeo03:
Every few days my phone generates a .98GB file. I thought it did this when i debugged it to the computer, but it just happens when ever it feels like it.

I don't take massive amounts of pictures or videos. I only have like 1gb of music on my phone so I don't know where this file comes from.

location, name, size, type of file is-- Computer>Removable Disk(G:)>DCIM>.thumbnails// THUMBDATA4--1967290299// .98GB

Auto run is turned off on the computer when device is connected. Everything is set to do not run with the pop up when phone connects to computer

when ever this file is created I can't do anything on my phone: Open pictures, play music, open browser, play games.

This file cannot be found on the phone by its self because nothing will open. File gets created on the phone storage and not the sd card.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dispozable:
Ok so I have heard of this before but I have never experienced it....

Are you running ICS? If so, upgrade to JB, its way better :)

Are you using the stock gallery? Try to mess with some settings inside gallery.

Determined to stay on your rom? Try Quickpic, its WAY better/faster than stock and free. No ads either.

I'm trying to think why it would be so big, have you tried going to settings/apps/gallery and did the force stop/clear data and cache options? After that go to the settings/apps/media storage and do the same there. Reboot and see if that fixes it. Lmk how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Romeo03:
Yes, I am running standard ICS. I'll look into getting JB. I've never had any device with JB let alone upgrading a device to JB... I'll look on here for some step by step instructions :)

I am using stock gallery no settings that I have found could be creating this file. I took a screen shot of it but can't post due to not enough posts on XDA.

I've cleared all caches, looked at every setting, had a few people who said they were really good with android look at this situation and they were stumped.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dispozable:
Yea if I remember correctly I think this bug was for ICS only, though I may be wrong. Upgrading is pretty easy, just use the Blaze Bible on the development page and it will have all the links you are looking for. The steps will be root it, add a recovery, then pick a rom. The whole process shouldnt take more than 15 minutes. It is well worth it and actually adds more control over permissions and flexibility. Also, going back to stock is even easier just in case you need to send it back.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Romeo03:
Thank you, I'll look into that now

Actually, This Was Happening To Me On CM10 official Up Until About A Month Ago. Idk If It Was An Update They Pushed Or Me Wiping Cache And Dalvik That Fixed It, But One Or The Other :P

From what I know the note 2 has Blue tooth 4.0 hardware in it. I tried sending a movie file to my ultra book which has Blue tooth 4.0 in it but it was transferring kinda slow. Supposedly this tech sends files at 3mb/s. Anyone been able to reach these transfer speeds?
[LG Optimus 2x] tommynekki:
As supercurio said before,cm10/4.04official has changed the audio driver and audio sampling rate to 48kHz which leads to poor SRC and poor audio quality which is important to me as daily players.I remember that Vadonka once could change his sample rate of his CM7 kernel,but the devs seem haven't found the way(or haven noticed the problem?) to change the sampling rate on CM10/4.04.Glad that someone raised the question as the sound quality is the only thing stopping me from using ics.

It would be great if someone is going to fix it.

Also,supercurio has seemingly lost his interest in continuing voodoo for 2x either for new Kaudio driver or support of ics.Can it be ported to a flashable zip?Big Thanks for it.

I use the 2x as my daily music driver with TF10 with cm7 and vadonka's kernel.:crying:
[LG Optimus 2x] petr.klos:
So I've done a bit of digging. FIrst - I cannot assure you that kernel W8994 drivers support that.

--------------------

This is tonyp's PA 2,+ v04

----------------

Yet - system/etc/asound.conf - contains this code

So I am thinking of tinkering with those values (especially upping call sample rate - even though source is limited, why cripple it by HW as extra? my experience of putting low sample-rate recordings to high sample rate 24/192khz HW is ... well beneficiary to clarity of true quality - which is poor, yet clearer).

Will report on progress.

-------

Test 1:

Changed default, music and aux to 96000.

Result:

It failed miserably...

It produces only very broken sort of pulsing freq sound. Either low cache or no compatiliby through drivers. Will investigate CM7 ofic ICS or others.

----------

Test 2

Setting call to 22000

No sound in calls.
[LG Optimus 2x] tommynekki:
Thanks for your effort!Ithink that just keep the rate as source(44.1kHz) would be best for battery and quality
[LG Optimus 2x] petr.klos:
So some tests, had to sleep, socialize and work since then.

----

it was supposed to be not 22000 but 22050. WM8994 by datasheet supports "all standard sampling rates from 8kHz to 96kHz". Problem is, what are standard ones? 96000kHz was a failure (by the sound of it a cache problem - I am not a kernel programmer or dev at all, therefore cannot do much here).

----

So next step would be 44100 for music/sounds and 22050 for calls.

MUSIC/Sounds: 44100 really does not work. I mean, my ears hurts for that terrible clicking sound which is noise normally!

CALLS: 22050 works!! And it is way clearer. Recommended by me!

-----

Testing 44000 for music.

no music at all. this leaves me perplexed - no clicking, no noise, no terrible cat-killing musax.

so there is that. not sure why or how - probably cache issues, and I have no idea how audio cache is programmed. But probably look into it in future.

----

END result

Calls working: 8000hz, 22050hz

Music working: 48000hz

---No phone was harmed during testing.

by cache I was reffering to buffer :)
