Thanks. Yes this was built off a full restore. I flashed back to fl24 and went up from there.

I think search is behaving better now but will know more today. I had removed all updates to seach because the settings menu would flash and I could not turn off Google now with the latest update before. I then left the factory search running. Maybe this one has an issue. So if tour running with the latest from the play store then no issues.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Proweedsmoker:
I just did my first ROM / unlock / TWRP /CROM install today and all went perfect thanks to all the guides here, but I have some questions now, more so about my TWRP flash....

I just updated twrp from 2.3.3 to the newest 2.4.4 following their guide using goo manager. I assume it was successful because I'm typing on her now' however.... My home screen now displays <Safe mode> on thebottom left.... Why is this? Also, after the flash, I lost my swiiftkey board app? Actually, seemed to have lost all my apps lol... What did I do wrong? (I didnt titanium backup before I updated, didn't know I needed too lol)

Do most use both nandroid backup AND titanium or just one?

Think that's all I have for now....

BTW, on Cleanrom in her 3.4.7 odex i think...

Edit, I still have all my app icons on my screen, but not in the main menu?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Have you try to power down, then power it backup?? If successful you should have all your apps back.

Edit: what firmware you were on before flashing CROMI??
[Asus Transformer TF700] Proweedsmoker:
Yes sir, soon as I did a quick 2nd reboot, she was back to normal. Thank you for the reply, I just get nervous with this being my first time time. Go figure, and finally give up waiting for 4.2, unlock and romantic up, and it drops the next day lol.

I was on 10.4.4.25 I think
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Hahaha, indeed of your luck! but not to worry, sdbags is going to get the update 4.2 dlpkgfile sometime today and we should see our 4.2 cromi sooner than expected...in a few days...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Proweedsmoker:
Few more questions

Just had a few more questions that I thought of while playing with my NEW tablet, (I honestly stopped using my tablet for months after I got it because it was so laggy, and CROMI has changed all of that!!!!!!!) and figured I would bump this thread vrs start a new one... Sorry for the noob questions, but knowledge is power and Im trying to learn! ( I do read alot! )

Currently on TWRP 2.4.4, CROMI 3.4.7 Odex w/ the OC Kernel 1.8ghz

Now, I have noticed a huge increase in my system files from when I came from stock... IE Stock, I had around 55gigs or something free on internal memory, now, I have around 30, is this normal and what is using that much space? I currently appear to have 2x backups in TWRP menu..

I also have got the Titanium backup as suggested, and backup regularly... But what exactly is it backing up other then apps? Does it create the same backup files that TWRP does? I assume TWRP is backing up the critical O/S files??

How many backups in TWRP are needed and when can I delete (if ever) some? Im guessing here, that TWRP is needed only if you get stuck in bootloop or some other situation that prevents a full boot to home screen?

Should I try to find the backup files in TWRP and Titanium and copy them to my home PC for safe keeping? (I did follow the guides and also have them on clouds)

When preforming a "clean install" of an updated CROMI version, will those backup files on the internal storage be wiped, or are they protected from a wipe / "clean install"? Is a "dirty flash" un-advised? I plan to only use CROMI roms...

I also downloaded the ROM manager thing, as suggested by some.... but, do I really need that? It seems like its just a Titanium clone, with some extras... Also, the ROM manager has some things like boot animations and such, are those safe to use with CROMI? I was looking at some apps to clean up my storage from junk files, but I wonder, if those apps are compatible with CROMI?!?

Ok, thats all I have for now I think, and thank you for the help as always!!!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
OK. I will provide you the best advise as possible but there are variations depend on individual taste.

1. Internal memory growth - possible you backup to your internal instead of external sdcard. Look for large file like videos, rom/kernel in the /sdcard/ download folder. Do clear cache weekly. I just assumed that you download all the roms and backup to your internal.

2. Backing up

a) TWRP - this is called nandroid backup. It will back up your entire OS with all the apps and cache and setup...everything. Before you upgrade from one rom version to the next you should take a backup before do so. Or once in a while if you making a major change to your OS on the same version, you should do a second backup. This backup can restore you back exactly the way it was before you mess up. The disadvantage is you don't have a choice to pick and choose what you can restore. It's either all or none. For this you should keep one backup for the current OS, one for major modified to current OS, one for new OS and one for major modified to the new OS, so total about 4 max. Unless you flashing more than just cromi. This nandroid backup will bring you back your previous setup if you have boot loop.

b) Titaniumbackup - This only backup your system apps, user installed apps and all the settings belonged to the app. You can't use this to restore your OS.(like when you have bootloop). It used to restore applications only. To keep the backup from growing, you should set Max backup history to 5. It's only keep maximum of 5 recent backups.

3. Clean install will only wipe INTERNAL memory, not your external SDcard. So it's highly to keep your Titaniumbackup and TWRP backup on your External sdcard. For double protection make a backup of your sdcard to PC.

4. Personally, I stay away from Rom Manager. Only use bootanimantion, themes etc.. from the tf700 threads. Rom Manager is not tf700 specific so some features may work, some may even brick your device.

5. App to clean up junkfiles - you don't need such app. Most of the stuff you download will be in the /sdcard/download or in the download app folder, example if you use Sugar Sync app to download, the download file will be in /sdcard/mysugarsync folder. You need to keep track of what you put onto the devcie is the best way to manage your internal storage. For external sdcard, you should keep 1), rom, kernel or any necessary zip files to reinstall your OS. 2) all your TWRP and Titanium backup files 3) Anything that important to you.

Hope it all makes sense to you!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Proweedsmoker:
Yes, I was backing up to the internal memory! I have now backed up TWRP onto my microSD card! I was trying to change Titanium's backup path to the microsd, and I have 3 folders: /storage -Red, not writable -sdcard0 -sdcard1- I assume red is a system folder, sdcard0 is the internal storage, and sdcard1 is the mircoSD, however, when I try to select it, it says "this folder cannot be accessed"?? How do I fix this? I have never formatted my mircoSD or anything, just plugged it in when it came in the mail, and it worked.... Got about 50 gigs worth of movies, and my new TWRP backup on it now....

How do I do this?? Would it be in TWRP menu??

Thanks for clearing that up! I thought nandroid backups were another type of backup, and the only thing I could find was an Online Nandroid backup app, so, of course I used that.... I guess I can get rid of that now!

Ok great, max is 5, so if I just use a value of 1, Im golden then! (BTW, honestly, the only apps I care about are what keeps my tablet running butter smooth, so..... Maybe that will change now that I have a tablet I can actually use lol)

What are the chances of the mircoSD corrupting the files or becoming unreadable when I need to get those backups like TWRP / Titanium?? I assume the PC backup file push is the last resort if the above happened?

Actually, that folder is empty.... However, I found how to make it explain what was in each "file catagory" so I understand what is where and how big!

ALL of these files (rom,kernel, etc..,) would be found in the CROMI zip file I used on initial install? Would it be best to leave them zipped if so, or to create a folder and unzip and copy paste it in?

Many thanks!!

Last question, WTF is tunny browser??
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
**** Directory of your external sdcard should be /Removable/microSD.

How do I do this?? Would it be in TWRP menu??

*** You can download a free cache cleaner app from the market

Thanks for clearing that up! I thought nandroid backups were another type of backup, and the only thing I could find was an Online Nandroid backup app, so, of course I used that.... I guess I can get rid of that now!

*** When you do a TWRP backup. This is nandroid backup! so you already using it and didn't know about it lol!

Ok great, max is 5, so if I just use a value of 1, Im golden then! (BTW, honestly, the only apps I care about are what keeps my tablet running butter smooth, so..... Maybe that will change now that I have a tablet I can actually use lol)

*** Yep, 5 is max but anything less is better!

What are the chances of the mircoSD corrupting the files or becoming unreadable when I need to get those backups like TWRP / Titanium?? I assume the PC backup file push is the last resort if the above happened?

*** The chance is very small, but that's why I said a second backup of sdcard to your pc. It easy because it's all in one location (sdcard).

Actually, that folder is empty.... However, I found how to make it explain what was in each "file catagory" so I understand what is where and how big!

ALL of these files (rom,kernel, etc..,) would be found in the CROMI zip file I used on initial install? Would it be best to leave them zipped if so, or to create a folder and unzip and copy paste it in?

*** They should be zipped and move to sdcard.

Last question, WTF is tunny browser??

I believe its a cache directory for Dolphin Browser.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Proweedsmoker:
One last question for the night, lol...

As I mentioned, I have never formatted my mircoSD.... Just opened its package (64g Scandisk something or another), plugged it in and its been working just fine ever since, although Xfering files is abit slow :/

Its currently formatted in a "Generic hierarchical" file system..... Being that it will be a life line for my tabby, will TWRP / Titan / etc.., be OK with reading, booting, and w/e else may be required from this type of file system??

That's not the real filesystem that the card is formatted with, that's what Windows sees 'through' the connection with the tablet.

Help, got myself in trouble trying to mess with the Sense Dock!

I seem to have gotten myself in trouble with this. When I tried to drag an item off the dock and onto the home screen, it made a copy on the home screen but kept it on the dock. So I tried dragging a new item to the dock, and ended up with a folder containing both the old and new items. Now, I can't find any way to get rid of that folder which is stuck on the dock! Anyone know how to do that?

Actually it's Power button + volume down.

Well this didn't tell people how to turn on HTC Zoe so, for those who aren't aware, go into Camera and at the top of the screen in the middle you'll see a small camera icon. Click it and it'll turn blue and will also display another camera icon near the bottom of the screen which says "Zoe" next to it.

Also, the best way to get the Zoe features working isn't actually by capturing a Zoe. When you're in normal camera mode, hold the bottom capture button and it will take a shutter shot. This will produce lots of pictures which were captured during the time you held the shutter button.

Once you've captured what you desired, go to edit the photo and use the editing options available to you.

Why is this easier than snapping a Zoe?

The answer's simple. Zoe shots only give you a limited amount of time and can be awkward to use some of the editing features. Using the shutter button, this isn't a problem.

It's important to note that if you turn off Beats Audio, the speaker playback quality is actually quite bad. Maybe it seems worse because I'd gotten used to the effect of Beats but it definitely has a big drop in quality.

I haven't tested this through the headphones, however.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikwen:
Can you boot into recovery mode? Try it.

If not, try to boot into download mode. If it works, flash the stock firmware using Odin.

Then you can install everything again.

That's how you should install a new ROM:

First off all you need CWM installed.

Then

Wipe data

Wipe cache

Wipe dalvik cache

Format system

install zip from sd card (choose your zip etc.)

Reboot
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richmond Dela Cruz:
How?

actually, i still dont know how to do such things...

how can have CWM? do u have any link for it? and also, i cannot open my phone,either on pc. the pc dont read my phone using usb.

these are the things that i can see when i open my phone in recovery mode:

reboot syystem now

apply update from sdcard

wie data/factory reset

wipe cache patition

test redbend fota[FS]

these are the only zip files that i have.

UNROOT GALAXY ACE.zip

cm_ace-ota-eng.maclaw.beta1.zip

superuser.zip

please help...

If you don't have CWM installed on your phone, how did you try to install JB?

I hope that you didn't use ROM Manager, as this would be the VERY end of your phone: Hard-bricked.

To boot into recovery hold down the power and the home button until the Samsung logo appears for the second time. Try this and report whether it is working.

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

Sorry, didn't read your post completely. :o

Congratulations. Your device isn't hard-bricked.

1) You can download CWM 5 here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1291327

2) Flash it using apply update from sd card.

3) Then download your ROM. I recommend this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2173576

4) Copy it to your SD card.

5) Backup your apps and data using apps like Titanium Backup.

6) Backup your old ROM using CWM

7) Wipe data

8) Wipe cache

9) Advanced > Wipe dalvik cache

10) Mounts ... > Format system

11) Install zip from sd card > choose zip from sd card

12) Reboot

13) Restore all apps and data using apps like Titanium Bakup.

That's it.

Good luck!

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikwen:
CWM is an abbreviation for "ClockWork Mod". It is an alternative recovery tool.

Are you shure that you installed CWM 5? There should also be a "install zip from sdcard" option which is essential for flashing your phone.

So try flashing it again.

You didn't backup your files before flashing. Bad news. :(

I guess that you have just copied the files on your SD card. Now you won't be able to restore your apps and data. I'm sorry to tell you, but now you won't be able to restore your apps and data.

Flash CWM 5 again. The one in the linked thread.

Then flash the ROM again in the way I described.

Afterwards everything should be working.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikwen:
I don't think that you will be able to get your data back.

And your apps: They are stored in the .android_secure folder on the sd card or in the /data/app folder. At mount time the .android_secure folder isn't shown as it is mounted to /mnt/asec. That means that you will be able to access these files there on a rooted phone. However, both folders gets deleted during flashing.

For the future: Use backup apps like Titanium backup. There is also Carbon backup by one of the Cyanogenmod developers (Koush). It is easier to use, but it isn't compatible with Link2SD if you use that.

On the new android versions you can also backup using Google's backup function. However, you will have to install all manually apps again. Your data will be recovered on installation. I recommend Titanium backup. You can get it from Google Play.

Are you unable to access all files from your sd card? If so copy all your files to your computer, reboot into recovery and format the card using CWM 5. Copy the data back to the SD card.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikwen:
You can use the batch actions. It can either found using the menu that shows up in the options menu if you press the menu key or if you are on a newer ROM (4.xx) there is an icon in the action bar for that. The bad thing: You need the Pro version for that. However, it is really worth the money. It will save you a lot of time if you flash different ROMs often.

If you do not want to buy the pro key, you need to select the app and click restore. Do that for every single app. It is annoying. So support the dev if you have got the money.
