You can upgrade from CM11 to CM12 without wiping data..but the backupscript removes the incompatible apps on your system.

I recommend a backup of apps+data using Titanium Backup

Then you can upgrade CM :thumbup:

Is there any way to backup apps such as zooper and all the widgets, as I have edited quite a lot of widgets and I cannot save them within zooper?
[General Questions and Answers] v7:
Only way you can have widgets restored to state is through a

nandroid restore.. and even that I'm not too sure

[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Lets get clear about the widgets: You need to backup "zooper" and your "launcher" to save your widgets. This can be done by Titanium Backup per app or a full nandroid backup via custom recovery. In any case you need a tool like Titanium Backup to restore the backups later.

I tried many options online and none worked, dead ends . everything I read made it sound like it would be hard to do on 4.4.4. .

So what would be the steps I'd need to go through , do I need to unlock boot mode first? If you could point me to an up to date tutorial that works specifically for a Verizon droid ultra on 4.4.4 that'd be great

Are you making sure that auto reboot is unchecked before you hit start?

Make sure auto reboot is UNchecked before you hit start in Odin.

When you get the green pass boot the device straight to recovery with the button combination then make your nandroid backup and you'll be good to go and you'll keep your recovery.

---------- Post added at 03:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

If you are trying to root through recovery? Then use Odin(auto reboot unchecked), get the pass, boot to recovery with button combo, then flash superSU zip if that's what you're trying to do.

Ok I have a big question.

Creating Softkeys

Hello there, I was asked by a friend of mine to make some softkeys for him. He knows how to change his softkeys and everything like that, he just needs me to make the images. However, neither he nor I no what the images need to be like. For reference, I'm making batman themed keys and I just need to know what they need to look like for them to work correctly. What dimensions do they need to be? What file type? Do they need to have a background or no background? Any help would be great. I for some reason cannot find any info about creating them on the internet, so this is my last resort. Thank you

[General Questions and Answers] antimage05:
If you're on stock ROM did not do any modification to the kernel, then doing a factory reset from recovery could do the trick...if it happened after flashing a new ROM or a new kernel...check md5 checksum of the rom zip and if it matches flash it again after a full wipe and if the md5 does not match then redownload the ROM and flash or try another ROM..
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If "rom original" means you are trying to flash the "original stock firmware" that came on your device through recovery then is it a stock recovery or a custom recovery? If you have a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP and you are trying stock firmware then its not going to work, only custom ROMs can be flashed through custom recovery.

To flash your stock firmware that originally came on your device you'll need to install adb/fastboot on your pc then use fastboot to flash your original firmware if you are rooted.

If you have CWM or TWRP then just find and download a custom ROM.zip and Gapps.zip for your device and flash them in recovery, or if you have custom recovery and you made a nandroid backup then you can restore the backup in recovery.

If you have stock recovery then you can also try finding a stock firmware official update then flashing that through stock recovery.

Custom ROMs through custom recovery

Stock "official" through stock recovery.

If so and it's stock recovery then find an official update for your device then flash it through stock recovery.

If you have a custom recovery then any custom ROM made for your device can be flashed through recovery.

If you have custom recovery did you make any nandroid backups before this happened?

Goldcard? And how to download root tools?

1.) What is a "Goldcard" and how do you use it? (searched this post, and looked in the Glossary and didn't see it). I may not need it, seems only needed if my build version isn't included and I believe the rooting tool tells you that before you choose to procede.

2.) I want to root my HTC Inspire (total noob) and the tool must (?) be downloaded from http://d-h.st/zaif but I get malware warnings, and I'm not sure my browser will let me get to the download even if I try. How do I download the tool?

I'm going off of this "How To" thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2133336

I have an old Sony Xperia which I wanted to change the ROM on but the only problem I have is that when I try to unlock the bootloader it says that it is not allowed and can not be done officially, when I checked this under settings it said bootloader unlock not allowed.

Hello all, I have a few questions about custom kernels. I have a galaxy s3 i747 (on t-mobile if that matters) running the latest cm11 nightly. I want to flash a custom kernel but I'm not sure what a good one for cm11 is/one for my wants and needs. I've read about a couple that had special features on them (elementalx) but s3 isn't supported by it. I mainly just want better battery life, but some cool features would be refreshing too. I know the kernel that comes with cm11 has a battery saver option but I wondered if there was a better one. Also my phone randomly reboots a lot and I've read that it's because of the cm11 kernel which is the main reason I would like to change it. Any suggestions are welcome, thanks in advance! :)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
A lot of the custom ROMs have kernels that can be flashed along with them like liquidsmooth(the liquid site has its own kernel and a deathly kernel) , there's BMS kernel, NeOcORe, the list goes on, you just have to do a little digging to see which ones will work over the kernel you have, not all kitkat kernels work on all kit kat ROMs, compatibility changes if the kernel in the ROMs are updated, go to the main forum for your device, go to the XDA home screen and click the XDA search box and do a search for "galaxy s3 i747", this should take you to your devices main forum, you'll see subforums, look in the "Android development" forum, and look in the "Original development" forum, the threads that have the kernels will be marked with [kernel] in the title, dig through and ask users with your device which kernels you can use.

There's probably a lollipop ROM and kernels for your device. You may like it better, just get the 5.0 Gapps to go with it, get the Gapps package that doesn't have the script to remove stock camera to replace it with Google camera. That's a bug in all the LP ROMs, camera isn't working but third party camera apps from playstore, you'll have to try a few till you get one that works.

Also the T-Mobile devices can use the at&t ROMs in addition to the T-Mobile ROMs, it requires a few edits to work on T-Mobile though, you have to use a rilblob zip for T-Mobile and flash it over the at&t ROM and edit a couple of lines in build.prop and the at&t works like a charm for T-Mobile, actually I think all the "d2" GSM ROMs will work with these edits, but not the "d2" CDMA ROMs.

Wait, I don't think your device is from the d2 series

OK, well as for the unlocking bootloader it really depends on your device, some you have to and some you don't, some devices have to do an official update before they can customize but you're already rooted so you shouldn't have to deal with all that.

Give me your devices model number and I'll find what you need to install custom ROMs, if you're rooted then all you need is to install a custom recovery then flash a custom ROM and Gapps package to update your phone.

Apps That Access Your Contacts- Do They Access All Contacts or Just Install Account?

I posted this on another forum, but it seems relevant on here as well.

Like many of you, I hate the idea of some app having access to my contacts when it isn't necessary. I have multiple Google accounts on my Nexus. I use one specifically to install applications, and it is not any of my main email or phone accounts. In fact, it has no contacts stored on the device nor my computers whatsoever. When I install an app that requires access to my contacts, does it access every account's contact data, or just the installation account's contacts? For instance, say I have the following accounts:

realname @ emailaddress.com

workaccount @ emailaddress.com

throwaway @ emailaddress.com

appinstallations @ emailaddress.com

I only buy and install apps from appinstallations account. Will those applications access the contacts from the other accounts?

may these be noob questions; bear with me.

1. what nandroid backup's dont include...efs partition,recovery partition , the bootloader or fastboot (as it is not editable)..and what else .

2.why do oem's update the bootloader with major android updates making it troublesome to downgrade the android version (i saw a few people bricking their motorola devices while downgrading from lollipop to kitkat)..while my redmi 1s has the best config (or structure should i say) of fastboot that cant be edited ...is it because xiaomi provides full system updates ( i mean opposite of delta updates) and motorola provides delta updates.

3.why it takes a lot of work to compile a new version of android for a device. i visualize it as kernel controlling all the hardware and then every hardware is connected with the kernel via threads (just my analogy) ,for like radio thread (for wifi and sim), speaker , sensors of all sorts , vibration meter , etc. a new android versions comes and cant we just attach these threads to the source code of the new version and make it run out of the box:D:D.........or do we need to add some api's to the kernel which are a part of the new android os..??

4. would it not be awesome if google puts out standards for the hardware of a mid range phone and support it for ..like 5yrs with latest os :laugh::laugh:...everyone is sick of android one...could it not get something more powerful insides.

5.are not oem's over killing hardware ; who needs a 2k display on a 5.X inch phones, 3 gigs of ram ,8 core processors...and they say it is future proofing and then deny to support after 2.X years, then what is the point of all that r&d they do.
