[Motorola Droid Bionic] 1Stryker:
I performed a back up of my daily driver rom using Safestrap and then using TiBu I backed up my call logs/sms and etc. I then FXZ'd and updated to the latest OTA. I stupidly forgot to put my TiBu folder onto my SDCard before I FXZ'd, and the FXZ wiped my phone clean..including my TiBu folder. Now I've lost the number of this really cute girl I've been talking to (who I stupidly never saved as a contact!) :( along with a bunch of important text messages.

I still have the SafeStrap backup..but it's useless now because it's running on GB and I now have JB.

I have found a few apps, including TiBu that enable you to (1 click) automatically extract SMS/Call Logs/Apps and etc off of a CWM or TWRP Nandroid backup, but they don't seem to work for Safestrap backups. The only app that seems to allow me to access Safestrap backups is "Nandroid Browser" by Paradise Android. However, Nandroid Browser has no automated step to extract SMS/Call logs and etc. I don't even know where to start looking for where these are stored.

Does anyone have any ideas? I will be forever indebted to you!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] theistus:
Yes! Ran into a similar problem once upon a time.

You can use Titanium backup! Go into prefs, and you can use "Extract from Nandroid backup" option. Be careful though - I have heard of people running into issues due to cross-compatibility issues, can't recall the thread atm, but if you are restoring data only, rather than a whole app, you should be fine.

The rooting method for JB has already been posted (uber thanx to to Dan and SamuriHL) if you need that.

Just rooted my SGS3. This was the first phone I have ever rooted and flashed a ROM. I am completely impressed.

Anyway, while using stock 4.1.1 I loved using Swiftkey keyboard. Is there anyway I can still use it. Everytime I try to enable it, it says "unfortunately, settings has stopped". Has anyone else experienced this? I would love to have that keyboard back.

If I can't, is there anyway to shorten the long press duration for this keyboard?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Change the options through the Settings dialog. For some reason, doing it through SwiftKey causes it to crash.

So my screen is cracked, it looks like the digitizer is cracked and not the lcd. However, from reading the forums it seems that the lcd and digitizer are glued together so to replace it I would have to change both which looks like an expensive fix. Does anyone know a cheap way of getting it fixed? Is it worth fixing at this point? If not, im not eligible for an upgrade so what is a good phone that I can buy used for around $150? I also do not have insurance on the phone. Thank you very much for reading and for any help. :)

EDIT: If I should get a new phone, how much do you guys think I can sell this one for?

Makay is good, probably best, but unofficial jb Roms are rather unstable.I wouldn't recommend them for gaming. I haven't tried ultrasound, but leatest is based on official ics, so definitely stable and worth a shot.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sim-X:
I couldn't find the flashlight app on my phone, not sure why it wouldn't be included it's very handy to have. I have also liked the HTC one. I couldn't find anything posted about in the Sprint forums here so figured I would post this since Sprint & HTC decided not to include it. I'm not taking credit for ripping the apk, I just coundn't find it anywhere here. Found this posted over at Android Central, suppose to be the HTC flashlight that is included with the international version of the one. I tested it on my Sprint one works just fine.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rtoodeetwo:
Is this the HTC sense flashlight?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sim-X:
yes, it's the one that comes on the international version. Not sure why Sprint left it out

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sim-X:
No problem, I know I came looking for it here first & didn't see anything about it. The evo LTE didn't come with it either if I remember right. I think you had to download it from HTC hub which I don't think htc hub is on this phone.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rtoodeetwo:
I had on the EVO 3D but after an updated they removed along with the mirror app, and had to download it from the HTC hub. I don't see the hub on this phone.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mmcjam07:
Nope. It may just be a few phones like that because some didn't have the calculator app. I had that one though
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mang0:
Yeah, possibly. Or maybe your phone was previously someone else's, and they unlocked the bootloader for you! :eek: I don't remember if my phone had the flashlight app straight out of the box, but I know it had the calc.

After unlocking bootloader I'm missing the same apps as everyone else. The Flashlight apk from this thread installs and runs fine. The Calculator apk from this thread will not install.

I tried flashing the zip (listed on this thread) from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39400584&postcount=1

It installs everything that it claims to, unfortunately everything but the flashlight FCs immediately. Might be because it's for an earlier version of the stock ROM, rather than the STOCK 4.06.651.4 Kit Kat that I'm running, so I reverted back to my original TWRP backup.

I tried installing the Calculator apk that I pulled out of a 4.06.651.4 ROM that I found, but that doesn't work either.

Am I missing something obvious? How do I get my Calculator app back?

Just flashed the nightly 4/20 and was having few problem.

2. Phone randomly reboot often. Every 45min or so

Wandering if anyone is having any of this problem? How did you fix it?

Heard that it was the cymod kerbal problem and if you flash another one. It will solve the issue. True?

What kernel are you using?

What kernel is compatible with 4/20 cymod 10.1?

Hi guys,

I was attempting to pay my DTH bill through Paytm on my LG Optimus L9 P765 and the phone got stuck at the credit card info screen. I left it for 2 minutes like that and then pressed the power button for 10 seconds and the phone turned off. Now when I try to turn it on there is no LG logo :( .. I have tried pressing the buttons for hard reset and turning it on but no luck. The battery was at 95% when the phone was on. The phone doesn't even go into software update mode. I have removed the battery and re-inserted it .. still it doesn't turn on. I was running V10G firmware [rooted] with locked boot-loader. Help me guys..

Btw, the phone is getting hot even when it is switched off. The back panel temp must be around 35-36 degrees.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] crunchy_frog:
Well, if it gets hot even if it is switched off, I'll presume there's a hardware problem.

Take out the battery and have a look at it. Do you see any blisters, bubbles, loose foils/membranes or other loose or blown up spots on the battery?

Does the phone smell bad, burned or otherwise chemical?

Edit: You'd better keep the battery away from the phone from now on. Either it's a problem with the battery or there's a bricked component, especially in case it smells bad.

BTW - did you allow to automatically install updates OTA?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] noob.gamer:
I can't see any problem with the battery except a straight line sort of thing running through it vertically towards its left side. The phone doesn't smell of any odour.. the top part of the phone (near the camera) gets hot if i put the battery on and connect it to the charger and then remove the charger after some time. I had done the OTA once.. a 16mb update.. it had got stuck at 13% for which I had to remove the battery and re-insert it. The update finished normally after that..
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] crunchy_frog:
Well, that's the place my phone got hot whilst processing updates, too. Think it's the processor or sth like that but I was unable to find a photo of the mainboard layout of the L9 unfortunately.

Can you please try to connect it to your PC without battery and see if there's anything happening/appearing in the device manger (in case you use Win)? Perhaps try an "adb devices" just to be sure and in case you installed the LG drivers.
