[General Questions and Answers] LORD MJ:
Hello,

I'm buying a new phone. Currently I have the Nexus 4 and now I'm upgrading to Nexus 5x. My question is, is it possible (and safe) to transfer the internal storage of my Nexus 4 to my Nexus 5x?

What I want to do is do a adb pull /sdcard/ on the Nexus 4 to my PC and then from my PC do a adb push /sdcard/ to Nexus 5x. I want to do this so I can transfer all my data and most importantly, all the data for my apps and games.

Would that be safe to do or do I risk breaking stuff? I plan to backup my apps with Titanium Backup so I can restore them on my Nexus 5x, but my poor Nexus 4 doesn't have enough free memory to backup all my apps data fully with ALL their data. I've searched high and low and can't find an answer to this questions so I would appreciate if someone helps me out.

Well u can simply try sharing the Android folder in your internal storage to the new device and placing it as a separate folder in your internal storage if new phone........ N then installing the same apps again......

Could work....

For WhatsApp u need to copy WhatsApp folder too(this works.... Tried )
[General Questions and Answers] LORD MJ:
Okay, but I don't want to copy just the Android folder. I want to move the ENTIRE /sdcard/ folder. I'm not really sure what you mean by sharing the folder and putting it in a separate folder.

I don't see a reason why this wouldn't work. So I will just make the backup of the /sdcard/ of my 5x first and then push the folder from my 4 to it and hope my new phone doesn't explode. :fingers-crossed:

Hey guy,

I'm having this annoying problem that (not) everytime I switch bewtween apps, the not active one gets closed immediatly. Let's say I play a game, take a screenshot, send this to a whatsapp friend and switch back to the game it was closed and has to start from scratch.

Anyone with similar problems or maybe a solution?

Hey can someone help me? I want to save my whatsapp chats on pc but it seems that I have no key to decrypt my backups. I'm searching for days but all what I read is always the same: Extracting the key with Whatsapp Key DB Extractor, creating a decrypted backup of my Chats and then using Whatsapp Xtract. But it doesn't work for me. The DOS window of Whatsapp Key DB Extractor just shut down when I'm connecting my Device. USB Debugging is on. Also other programs like WhatCrypt, DB Converter for Whatsapp or Backup Text for Whats are ending in error messages. I think the reason is that I have no key. I have no com.whatsapp folder like others. It just doesn't exist. I only have the Whatsapp folder with media files and backups. I tried with Samsung Galaxy S5 and my old Galaxy S3 aswell. Same result no com.whatsapp folder. I'm desperate.

I think you should not change your kernel (unless u r desperate) because most of the time the kernel is notfully compatible with your custom rom soyou shouldnt change.

General Android Question

Hello,

I have a general Android Question that I was hoping you guys could help me out with because I have heard multiple different answers and the quick Google search does not not answer my question. This is a question regarding bloatware. I have always been under the impression that one of the advantages of buying a phone from the manufacturer (in my case, I bought a note 7 directly from Samsung) is that there would be no carrier bloatware. I finished the initial setup on my phone and then realize that there is carrier bloatware. So how did the carrier bloatware get on my phone? Some people say it I have it because I booted my phone for the first time with the sim card in it (I performed a factory reset and made sure threre was no SIM card in it during the process and only inserted it after and the bloatware is still there) where others say that once you put in a sim card, it will automatically download the carrier bloatware (which means I will have a bunch of bloatware if I use different sim cards from different carriers, which I don't think makes sense and also contradicts the advantage many people say about getting no carrier bloatware from a manufacturer bought phone). I do not believe my Nexus, which I got from Google had this problem, and my iPhone bought from the Apple store. I am just confused about how carrier bloatware works and how it got onto my phone. Any help is greatly appreciated.

---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

The carrier bloat was probably there when you got it. If you had to tell the manufacturer which area you will be using the phone in and which carrier you are using it on then they would have sent you a phone that was made to work on their network. Samsung installs its own bloatware also. Are you confusing Samsung's bloatware with carrier bloatware?

I doubt the carrier force installed bloatware on your device because I doubt that happens when someone activates a device from another carrier on your network.

If you don't want the bloatware then just root you device and remove the bloat that you don't want.
[General Questions and Answers] TheAtomicBuddha:
I am sure I am not confusing Samsung's bloatware and the carrier one. I am on Rogers, and there was a whole bunch of apps in a Rogers folder. When I opened chrome, Rogers was also the home page which is weird. I never specified go Samsung which network I was going to be on which is the really weird thing.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Well then, if you didn't order with bloat but it had bloat now then obviously the only answer is your carrier put it there, did you check for software updates when you activated the phone?(I don't mean OTA stock firmware update, I mean carrier network programming updates) Were any updates installed? If so then the apps probably installed when the software updates check was done.

Either way, root the device and remove the bloat and be done with it.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I'm not sure you can do this, especially without a key. Resolve the no key issue.
[General Questions and Answers] TheAtomicBuddha:
Hmm that's strange. I am not even sure how to check carrier network programming updates. How do you do that? I just remember when I turned on the phone there was the typical language select screen and then all of the sudden it said installing. What it was insfalling, I have no idea, but I did see some sort of 's' symbol.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
A Google search for:

"Return to stock Micromax E455"

Would have given you this result and more results to look through, I suggest you do the same search with the exact same search terms that I used if you want more info than that.

It has everything you need. Learn to use google for such simple questions. It took 15 seconds to find that so I'm sure you didn't do any searching at all before you came here to ask.

---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 PM ----------

What I'm talking about is sometimes checked automatically when the device boots.

It obviously came from your carrier, how it got there doesn't matter at this point, the point is it is there and you want it gone. Forget about how your carrier put it there and just focus on rooting and removing the unwanted bloat.
[General Questions and Answers] TheAtomicBuddha:
I see. Then I guess there was no way I could have prevented it then. So goes the saying that buying from the manufacturer helps you avoid carrier bloatware. For future reference, do you of anyway to prevent this automatic checking of software?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I'm not sure, but even if it is possible to prevent, it will be different depending on the device and the carrier and if it can't be blocked then the bloat that gets installed can be removed. Its that simple. Why are you complicating it?

You're running a pointless circle, wasting time.

Either debloat the device you have now or don't, your choice. I'm done answering.

Galaxy S7 edge china google play install?

Hi all,

I have recently bought a Galaxy S7 edge chinese version (SM-G9350), and would like to install some google app on it.

I have read everything and its opposite ("installing HK rom can be done and it works", as well as "can't install HK rom", i've read seriously through a couple of guides "install google apps on your chinese phone", but met some issues (for instance one asks to download TWRP, but it doesn't exist for the S7 edge snapdragon.

Therefore my questions are :

- is it possible to install the google app packages (all or part of it)

- can it be done without flashing the whole rom to a new one?

- where is that thread that details how to do this step by step? :D

As far as ROM modifications and installing, rooting or flashing go, i'm a complete noob.

Thanks,
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
the thread I'm linking below is supposed to install a ROM + root + TWRP + Xposed on your device.

http://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-sm-g9350-s7-edge-qualcomm-sd820-t3410969

Look in the thread below, posts #16 and #17 in that thread state that you can flash the Hong Kong version of the stock firmware for your device in Odin and you will have Google Play installed, the Hong Kong version should be linked in that thread or you might find it at Sammobile .com. you will have to root your device again after flashing the firmware via Odin. This would also be the simplest, easiest way to get what you want with the least issues, its full stock made to have Google so its guaranteed to work as is.

I have a samsung on5 with metro pcs.

I want to make a flashable zip file with a twrp backup but I am having trouble with making a META-INF file. I have looked at various tutorials but they all want me to get one from another rom (dont have any) or use a tool that has preset phones (not this one) built in.

Its model SM-G550T1. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you are trying to create a flashable zip for a device that has no other preexisting flashable zips to get a META-INF from then try making a flashable zip from your devices stock firmware using kitchen or similar tool for converting stock firmware to flashable zip then use the META-INF it creates in the TWRP flashable backup.

Or maybe you can try Zipme or Titanium backup to create a flashable zip from the stuff you have installed on the device then use that META-INF. I'm not sure if it would have all the proper partitioning instructions your device would need though.

I have noticed that the sensors which do not work when said problem occurs are proximity, light and air gesture sensors. I have my phone rooted & with xposed framework so it might be the reason.

Samsung doesn't have fastboot, you can flash .img files in TWRP, it should work fine, then choose the option in TWRP to reboot to recovery and you'll boot to the stock recovery and keep it, gotta boot directly to it or you'll go back to TWRP. Flashify, Rashr and other apps like that will flash your .img also. You can also use adb shell or Terminal Emulator to dd the recovery.img if you know the recovery partition for your model.

Several ways to get where you want.
