I have tried but after I rebooted into recovery and connected the phone to computer I cannot see the device using

adb devices

Flashtool gives me the same message. I will try to enable MSC, but it requires to modify my framework-res.apk. The phone is in MTP mode and shows "Conected as a media device" when connected to computer. I have no problems in browsing and modifying the content of the sd-card.

Is there a call recorder app that works for our phones on jelly bean?

Nope.

Wicked ICS roms have it built in as a feature tho.

I just made a backup via nandroid and CWM of my phone in possible anticipation of trying out a new rom. However, the backup is only 21mb. How is that possible? Does it not back up my apps? What exactly gets backed up?

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
It should backup everything. I would suggest remaking a backup.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] slicetwo:
still only 21mb.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
CWM backups show as very small on the inital folder but I believe if you drill down further all the information is stored in what is called a blob IIRC and that will be larger folder.

I would suggest TWRP instead as it is easier to store your backups in a safe place just in case you have a srcew up.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] slicetwo:
YES. i see that now. 2.1gb for the whole folder.

thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Check to see of you also have a folder in the cwm folder called blobs. Your info would be there and it should be a considerable size.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RockRatt:
This probably could be different depending on which version of cwm you have installed so take a look first.

Go I to recovery, choose backup and restore, scroll down to CHOOSE BACKUP FORMAT, then you will see .DUP or .tar

What you have right now that saves them as blobs is the .DUP format and has a separate folder that your looking at. If you change it to .tar format it saves the whole nandroid backup in one file.

i just installed cynogenmod 10 on my galaxy w today

when i checked the storage, it appears to be 2 internal storage partition.

i installed some apps, then move them to SD card when there is no SD card on my phone.

so, the apps goes from the default internal storage to the other partition.

when i mounted my SD card, 3 partition appears, the 2 internal partition and an SD card partition,

the SD card partition is greyed out.

I repeated repeat the same process of moving apps from phone to SD card but still, there isnt any change on the SD card when i checked it on my comp.

the apps still goes to the other partition of internal storage

anyone has idea to solve this issue?

Thanks ;)

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] keithross39:
With CM10 this is normal. If you want your external micro SD card to be used as phone storage, download and flash the ROM in this link.....

http://www.mediafire.com/?aah2qbpolod24q6

It is a modified version of ARCO's CM10 (alpha 6 kernel 3) that has the vold fstab (storage mounts) already swapped. (modification courtesy of Temenalie)

Flash it as normal (wipe data, cache and dalvic. Flash ROM and gapps) then reinstall your apps and move them to SD card.....job done.....

Just make sure that the micro SD card has been inserted into the phone BEFORE you flash the ROM.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
You know, if you're using TWRP, you can just copy vold.fstab from the External SD into /system ;)
[HTC Sensation] Zirias:
WARNING: This is far from complete, read carefully to know whether it is safe!

I created a tiny mod that automatically moves dalvik-cache to your /system partition in order to gain space on /data. The idea to do it came from here: http://petermolnar.eu/linux-tech-coding/how-to-move-dalvik-cache-to-system-partition-in-android/

Fiddling with the bootimage seemed to cumbersome and on a ROM supporting init.d-scripts, it should be possible to fix all from there (remount /system rw and check whether symlink is damaged from a dalvik-cache wipe attempt). This is my first working-for-me zip to automate the process in a flashable zip.

The installer contains an option to revert the mod -- works for me.

Prerequisites

For this to work, you need:

A ROM that supports init.d scripts

busybox installed (of course)

A custom recovery with all busybox links in place (should work on most)

Enough free space on /system for dalvik-cache

Limitations

Untested -- so far tested only on my Sensation with SuperXE 4.2.1 ROM

Prerequisites unchecked -- this includes busybox and space requirements on /system. Check yourself for now before flashing

Dalvik cache wipe non-functional -- at least for me on 4EXT Touch recovery. But it doesn't do any harm, at least.

Benefits

More space on /data -- around 150 MB for me

Downsides

/system must be kept rw

TODOs

Check some prerequisites to make it safer to flash

Analyze why dalvik-cache wiping does not work, maybe provide own wiping-option in AROMA

Check whether this works on ROMs with dalvik-cache on /cache; it already looks there after /data, so it SHOULD work

dalvik-syscache_0.2a_ALPHA.zip - use at your own risk.Nandroid keeps you safe, so please test after backup :)!

Older versions

dalvik-syscache_0.1a_ALPHA.zip

Changelog

* 0.2a:

Added dalvik-cache wipe option in AROMA

Minor cosmetic changes
[HTC Sensation] manuelkuhs:
Very nice idea!

On a related note - is there no safe way to repartition our device and just shrink the /system partition, giving it to /data instead?
[HTC Sensation] Zirias:
Thanks, although the idea is old, just tried to automate it.

I don't think so. No idea what kind of partition table is used, but given the fact it's all on the same internal mmc block device, even the recovery partition, I assume it would be quite risky. But maybe someone around knows better?
[HTC Sensation] Zirias:
wipe dalvike-cache option added in aroma ...
[HTC Sensation] theggs:
great job!

but i want to know if there any harm to our phone when system partition been read and write much more frequently than before?
[HTC Sensation] Zirias:
AW: [MOD][ALPHA][2013-02-14] Save internal memory: dalvik-cache on /system AROMA

No worries there, it's the same underlying block device. The only "issue" with having /system rw is it's maybe easier to accidently mess with your Rom at the command prompt. But wear on the flash is the same, no matter what partition is used for dalvik-cache.
[HTC Sensation] yohanandz:
trying it out
[HTC Sensation] theggs:
trying it on cm10.1..it works!save 200+mb in /data. now more apps can be installed. now i can install much more apps thx for your great job!:)

just for one thing, this mod just move dalvik-cache in /data to /system, and dalvik-cache in /cache is still there. so still can only creat 50mb swap partition in /cache with the turbo boost.
[HTC Sensation] Zirias:
Hi, thanks for testing!

For your issue: I think there should be only one dalvik-cache (either in /data or in /cache), the other one probably being a leftover of another rom. could you try wiping dalvik-cache & cache and see which one is re-created at boot? [If really both, I'll gonna have a look at CM 10.1 myself...]

edit: uninstall the mod before wiping please ...
[HTC Sensation] theggs:
tired and still get dalvik-cache in both /date and /cache without this mod. and with this mode, dalvik-cache in both /cache(67.73mb) and /system(238.32mb).
[HTC Sensation] Zirias:
Ok thanks ... I just researched a little on this and probably your ROM splits dalvik-cache in two parts, for system apps (on /cache) and user apps (on /data).

Of course I could make this mod move both of them to /system, but I think I'll first try to implement some checks for available space in order to make this a safe operation. I'll think about solutions ...

edit: for stripped-down / AOSP roms, this should always be safe, having around 450 to 500 MB free space on /system -- but in order to make this mod safe for all, I think I'll have to work a little on it :)
[HTC Sensation] theggs:
Looking forward to the next vision. thx for your work again!
[HTC Sensation] Caspertje19:
Nice idea!

Just wondering since most of us have s-Off, isn't there a way to repartition the band, so I can make more space on data instead of system? I always use aosp roms, so there isn't needed much space on system for me
[HTC Sensation] Zirias:
Yep, I had that idea, too. Especially using AOSP, the space on /system is wasted.

I'm still not sure whether repartitioning is possible, but now I think I wouldn't dare to, given the fact that recovery resides on the same block device -- I'd worry to brick my phone fiddling with the partition table.

So, for me, moving dalvik-cache to system and installing apps I constantly use to /system/app seemed to be the "next-best" solution.

I'll update this mod probably this weekend, adding some logic checking space-requirements should make it safe to flash.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phils7:
Hi

I have been experiencing some lock ups on this N4 (previous one never did) and after it happened today I was able to grab the logcat for it (attached).

I was unable to wake the device and the notification LED was on. As previously I have to hold the power button for about 5 seconds then reboot.

I noticed it has become unresponsive at about 14:09. This is around the time there are some errors in the log cat but I'm really not sure what the source of the problem could be.

I've experienced this problem on Minco & PA, various versions of both.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spurs1959:
Is the xperia z definately shipping with anti shatter film on front and back glass? If so does this mark easily or show lots of fingerprints or is it recommended to put a regular screen cover on top of this anti shatter film.

Would anyone recommend removing the anti shatter film from the glass to allow for easier cleaning of the screen:)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefanve:
No you should not remove it, and you don't have to add another one.

The glass it self is very hard to clean as it doesn't have a oleophobic coating (or at least that was the case with the xperia T). the protector is easy to clean.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spurs1959:
Thanks for that.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reptile64:
Use the screen protector that is possibly provided in the box because the anti-shatter film gets scratched and we don't like that for sure! >:(

I removed the film from the ion, and found that the screen picks up just as many fingerprints as it did with the film on there.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
You should not remove the film. It's not there just because Sony wanted to put it on - it's there because it helps prevent your phone from breaking should you drop it. Just apply the bundled screen-protector on it and go on without worrying about the screen.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren.D:
You could rempve it and apply crystalusion liquid glass. It has oleophobic properties and is also scratch resistant

Hello there,

I'm using Blade ROM v5.0 at the moment. Blade comes with much less stock apps, than a stock ROM which is very nice and makes it lighter and faster but I'm really missing the HTC Notes app (I don't like evernote e.g.). So I tried to make a flashable ZIP which failed poorly. noamsch6 (Member of blade Team) took my ZIP and made it flashable.

Unfortunately Notes still does not work. It always has a force close when I want to open the app. The apk was taken from an extracted stock ONE XL rom (4.0.4). Did I take a wrong APK? Please help a noob :laugh::good:

Re: [Recovery][WIP] TWRP v 2.4.1.0

Is there any bug at backup and restore?
[HTC Desire C] neoyoli:
Wooha, it has a handy-dandy file manager as well, no need for aroma file manager!

I made a backup with compression, it says Backup Complete and under it Failed. I checked in file manager, it is indeed not a full backup.

I tried again without compression, it says Successful, looks it has all the files. Restore however fails (but at least it doesn't freak you out with rebooting like CWM lol). I attached the logs, maybe they are the same but just in case.

Mounting-unmounting external/internal USB is fine.

Other:

I liked the android animation in CWM, but oh well:)

I don't know if you can do something about it, or it's like that by default but the fonts look a bit fragmented, as if scaled badly or something. And some color option other than yellow would be nice, or just green or blue, makes me more relaxed when messing with recovery lol. - If I don't ask too much:)

Also on the info screen while backing up, the text is out of the screen, doesn't affect usability, just saying.

Question: does it backup kernel as well? because I read CWM even if it's bug-free does not do it, despite that it backups boot.img.
[HTC Desire C] nikhil16242:
I will take a look at the issues soon. Try using option of skipping MD5Sum verification while restoring back up.Regular back and restore work flawlessly for me though. You can theme TWRP recovery anyway you want :p . Just need to do some xml editing. I will try to theme it as well , but only after some of the major issues get resolved :).

PS: If you want I could make an option to flash the kernel without fastboot :D . Check this http://teamw.in/project/htcdumlock . I might implement it in the future :)

Link Updated Again. Changed Theme to stock blue instead of orange :)
[HTC Desire C] whoamigriffiths:
Stock blue is indeed much more relaxed .

I've been hoping someone would get TWRP up and running for the phone . It is so much nicer enviroment to work in than cwm .

You gotta get it working with aroma though , I'm still using your Aroma for some of the tweaks in there :laugh:
[HTC Desire C] nikhil16242:
Re: [Recovery][WIP] TWRP v 2.4.1.0

Aroma does work now :)
[HTC Desire C] russell664:
Great I will flash the new recovery soon, and try it with the new aroma installer of the revolution rom! :)
[HTC Desire C] whoamigriffiths:
Awsome will flash right now :)

quick guide , will probably seem obvious to most but may help .

1-Boot into recovery (TRWP)

2-Press Backup button

3-Tick every box in the options at the top up to and including sd-ext(if you have an sd-ext)

4-don't enable compression

5-don't tick Skip MD5 generation (for now I will test it now in a mo and update)

6-tick USE EXTERNAL SD (i'm not shouting )

7-before you swipe to backup ..... press set backup name*

8-after writing the name of your backup press the go back button

9-swipe to back up

win:good:

*this is very handy it especially if you have a Nameless backup, a Revolution sense backup and a revolution sensless backup:good:

This is why I tick to save everything , you get the entire picture of your phone at that moment in time .

A nice thing about TWRP is that you don't-have-to-write-the-name-like-this-for-it-to-work you can write normally with spaces and it will work:good:(at least that was one of the earlier fixes for the n7)

It also backups much faster than CWM

To restore

1- Boot into recovery

2-press Restore button

3-choose the named file you wish to restore

4- swipe to restore

done

Just checked all of this as I write and it works . The phone has restored my Test backup too , So all is well thankyou

hope this helps a few of you

** Only issue I've seen so far is that the buttons are sometimes unresponsive , usually the go back button and the choose which type of reboot buttons .after restore reboot button is unresponsive too .

Just checked backup with spaces between name (test two) and backup was successful as was restore . so all good there.
[HTC Desire C] nikhil16242:
Re: [Recovery][WIP] TWRP v 2.4.1.0

Yeah, forgot to mention - the power off option doesn't seem to work in reboot section.All other options work though :)

[HTC Desire C] russell664:
Great recovery! I have tested it with the revolution aroma installer and it works flawlessly good job!

One little problem, the buttons can turn a little unresponsive but other wise it is perfect.

Keep up the good work!

Russell664
[HTC Desire C] neoyoli:
Yep, I confirm too, it restores flawlessly without ticking compression and md5, and it's fast. Thanks man, this was much needed for a carefree tweaking lol! And thanks for the blue theme too:)

Sure this falshing kernel without fastboot would be good, anything makes things easier.

Does TWRP backup/restore kernel as well? I can see it restores boot.img, but I've read in numerous forums that CWM does that too, but actually leaves kernel alone even if it's bug free. So what's the case with TWRP?
[HTC Desire C] nikhil16242:
I will try my best to fix those bugs :)

I dont think TWRP can restore kernel directly without s-off. But with HTC_DUMLOCK addition it might be able to do this (need to check this in more detail)
[HTC Desire C] Ebif_GSM:
The Good Recovery ... Thanks :good:
[HTC Desire C] whoamigriffiths:

Worked brilliantly last night after flashing russells latest rom and finding no super su binaries. I had already deleted all my cwm backups , so had only TWRP to rely on .

And it past with flying colours . So thankyou very much :highfive:
[HTC Desire C] nikhil16242:
Hey guys does the TWRP lock screen work(press the power button) in the current version I uploaded?

Also could some one check if enable compression works on /system and /data (select them one at a time while doing a backup) :) ?
[HTC Desire C] whoamigriffiths:
I'll do a compress test now . let me check first post to see if I have most up to date version first .

Looks like you updated today ? I'll DL now and flash give me 15 mins to report back cos the kids are playing up lol (we all have man flu)

yup lock works :good: looks awsome

testing compression now . It started a compressed backup and I was thinking man this is slow (the bar was at half way) Now the screen has gone blank and the phone rebooted .

Checking whats going on now

Only file in the backup is system.ext4.win which is the last file in a normal backup (except for the system.ext4.win.MD5 file)
[HTC Desire C] russell664:
I tried backups and restoring too it works great, unless you compress it then it reboots. Also I superSu binary issues have been fixed on my roms I tested so yeah. :)
