[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It would be best for you to reverse the process and put the apps back on internal before flashing the new ROM. If you leave it the way it is(with or without root), the data on the external will still be there but it won't work with the new ROM because Links2SD doesn't really move apps completely to external, it leaves a link containing a portion of the app on internal where the app was stored then moves the rest of the app to external, the app won't function without the link in /system or /data, the new ROM won't have it because you created that link in the old ROM, not the new one. As far as the system is concerned, the apps location is still its original placement.

1)move your apps back

2)uninstall Links2SD

3)format the external sdcard(for best results, I would remove the extra partition created to work with Links2SD and return the sdcard to one partition).

4) flash your ROM

5)Install Links2SD

6)create the partition for Links2SD on external

7)move your apps.

You might can work some kind of trick by manipulating wakelocks to keep the mirroring, keyboard and mouse working while screen is off. Try setting wakelocks so that the screen sleeps but the required apps stay active. If you have doze or sleep mode, disable it.

You can experiment with a combination of Xposed and Tasker, between the modules and the automation features in Tasker, you might get lucky with the right combination and settings.

My device doesn't have enough space.

Thanks for responding so quickly! But the thing is, the whole reason for me using Link2SD in the first place, is the fact that I don't have enough space to contain all my apps on internal storage.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
In that case, make backups of the apk files for each app, then backup the app data for each of those apps, then remove those apps, undo the process, format external and return to a single partition. Flash the new ROM, install Links2SD, recreate partition on external, instal each of the backed up apk files and link them to SD one at a time, then restore the backed up app data for each app that you placed on external. Just to be sure there are no bugs, boot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik ONLY, then reboot.

Hi I have a HTC bolt by sprint That is google account locked I managed to bypass the setup wizard by disabling google system apps and some others etc... which doing so I have access to phone but with google disabled how can I add a new google account ?

Run the latest Sprint Bolt RUU. That will wipe of EVERYTHING including the former Google account from the phone, so you can set it up fresh.

Go here to get the official RUU.exe from HTC's US website

Hey, so just to be sure, will this method (https://www.technipages.com/how-to-backup-your-entire-android-device) of backing up my apps work?

---------- Post added at 01:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 AM ----------

Oops, completely forgot to specify which command I was talking about. Let me rephrase the question: Is "apk" the correct command to give in the terminal.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
adb backup -apk -shared -all

adding the "-shared" switch will backup your extSD

adding the "-apk" switch backs up your apks (without it you'll only backup app data)

This guide explains it a little better. It's from the Galaxy Nexus forum, but the commands are the same on almost all devices.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
A better guide in my opinion.

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-phone-backup-unlock-root-t1420351

You want

-apk

And

-shared

And

-all

Don't backup any of the stuff from system, it is almost guaranteed to cause conflicts in the new ROM.

Rooting G930v

I've been trying various methods to root my phone. I flashed the rom using odin and tried the only method I know so far to work which is using a root.bat file on my device. Here is my issue, it seems to be doing what it should, the phone even reboots but there is no root. This is my first time rooting so keep that in mind as well. My question is... is there any way to successfully root the Galaxy S7 G930v with version 7.0 Nougat? Is there a reason for the method I used to not be effective? I appreciate anyones help.

Hello guys, currently using a S6 G920F model running Marshmallow 6.0 custom ROM, believe it is called Tyrannus ROM, now i want to update my phone to Nougat, particularly THIS ONE. It requires a clean flash, so let's say i just want to backup only my photos and mainly music (other things like contacts would be fine), i just use a few apps so they can be downloaded anytime with ease, so which way should i use to backup? So far as i've learned i can backup with Titanium, Recovery or through an app called Flashfire. I have a Macbook and the last time i checked i remember there wasn't Odin for Mac yet... So if i plan to update my phone can i use that Flashfire app to install the new ROM? Thanks.

Hello friends.I have a friend's Prestigio tablet (below).He gave me it to flash stock firmware.The weird with this tablet is that is locked to a Greek company (lottery)When u turn it on,you can't do anything.The device boots with the specific lottery's app and u can only connect to wifi networks.U can't even enter intoo settings.We found a very weird way to enter intoo settings by pressing somehow the buttons,but there isn't complete OS!I saw in storage and it's OS takes only 144 MB of total storage!U can just enter intoo system settings but no home screen,no system UI,no anything!just the only one installed app.We tryied maaany hours to find the correct way either from stock recovery,either from PC but nothing.When u run the program RockChipBatchtool to flash stock firmware through (is just 360 MB,we didnt find anything else) and press the switch button (like instruction says) the tablet turns off and do nothing instread from the button to go green and continue the process.Any idea please?We are really tired up we are trying to fix it one month now..Thanks for your help.View attachment 4377612

why dude?the company gave a lot of these pieces as a present to the empoyers (about 100 pieces) but unfortunatelly all of them at same state..
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Then the company got ripped off. I have seen these devices rarely but they are special made for that purpose. In other words, you won't find a stock rom for it. The best you can hope for is to find out who the oem is and see if they released a device close to it. ( chances are slim as these are normally contracted out to small time oems that do devices like this on a per order basis.) if you can find one then you will have to port it to this device. (this also depends on if it has an unlocked bootloader)

Hi,

I have a Samsung galaxy s2+ (GT-I9105P) device. But unfortunately s2+ community lack developers. Our device has a kernal version 3.0.31 . One of our developer managed to upgrade it to 3.0.101. Can someone help us to upgrade it to 3.4.xx or 3.10.xx ? Our developers left s2+ community bcs of these low kernel version. Hope someone will help us.

Or can someone provide a guide about porting a kernal ? I am a noob , so I can't compile a rom/kernel from the source. S duos 2 has same specifications as our device (s duos 2 has a 3.4.xx kernal). So I was planning to port kernel from it . Will it work ?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
There are plenty of easy to find guides for building kernels and also porting kernels for similar devices, they are all just guidelines detailing the methods, none are specifically detailed to get you through the entire process from start to finish all in one guide. Differences in android versions and hardware differences make it impossible to create a guide that has the details required to overcome certain hurdles in the building/porting/flashing/testing process. You'll need to reference various kernel guides along the way to troubleshoot issues, I almost guarantee that your first try won't be completely successful, you'll have complications along the way that will require researching a lot more things than just a guide for porting/building kernels.

Not trying to be condescending, but, do a Google sesrch for:

"How to port android kernels"

(you can change that to "Samsung kernels" if you prefer)

Or a search for:

"How to build kernels"

(you can change that to "stock kernels" if you prefer)

That should give you a starting point, dig in from there and you'll find your way as you go.

[General Questions and Answers] xenreon:
This is a place to get guidance not to get spoonfed, you'll need some technical knowledge and know how with Linux before starting with the building of kernels. The guides here on those topics mostly assume you know you're way around the basics and have a bit of experience, if you don't then you'll have to start searching/reading/trying before you attempt those.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If it is a stock OTA update, you may have to un-root the device and flash stock recovery(if you currently have a custom recovery installed). OTA updates "usually" can't safely be applied to rooted/custom recovery devices because the update requires an unmodified system partition and requires stock recovery in order to flash the update due to signature verifications required in stock recovery.

This means no custom recovery, no root, no Xposed or its modules or anything else that modifies the system partition.

Remove everything that you've modified and return it to full unmodified stock with stock recovery then apply the update. After the update, root the device again and flash custom recovery again, if you had it.

---------- Post added at 02:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

Have you tried looking in system settings>mobile networks and verifiying that those settings are correct? If you have APN(Access Point Name) settings, verify those are correct for your network/service provider.

Boot to recovery and wipe cache partition(and dalvik partition of you have custom recovery), but do not factory reset.

Have you tried finding the dialer code to access the hidden menu with your radio settings and values? Find how to get that secret menu open and verify that everything is as it should be.

If all else fails, back up your apps, their app data, contacts plus any personal info or media files(pics, video, music, etc) but do not backup any settings, boot to recovery and factory reset, when you get rebooted, restore your backed up apps and data and personal stuff then reconfigure all of your preferred device settings and features.

[General Questions and Answers] DragonFire1024:
Back in the days (2013-2014) and a little earlier, was the craze of Linux on Android, and unfortunately so. It came well before its time. Anyways, there is no current way to install a Linux OS on a device, to REPLACE an Android OS unless you have a Nexus device with an unlocked bootloader.

However, you can install and boot a distribution alongside almost any Android device. You can connect to it via a VNC viewer or a SSH client. I have managed to get several distributions running on several devices. I have written a detailed guide here. I was in the process of writing the second guide when we got bad weather and I lost my work. I am currently in the process of rewriting it.

Kali is my favorite out of the ones I have tried thus far. However, since the organizations that used to maintain and update the distributions, no longer exist, many of the tools in the Kali distribution don't work properly, if at all because the download links for some of them no longer function. However, I only tested a few tools. I would love to be made wrong on this one though.

Download the rom for your device and put these files in proper directory if /system/app or /system/priv-app or maybe /system/vendor/app folder, give right permissions with a root file explorer (folder 755 and app, libs 644) look up if lib folder is present in /system/app folder (compare with other apps) if not (and these apps from other rom have one) put libs in /system/framework and give permissions

You have to consider that if your rom is odexed you need to odex too.

If you don´t get your rom you can try with other from a same sdk version (lollipop, MM, etc) if yours is stock then search for a stock ones to match with your device.

Maybe you need reinstall Gmail cause trash (old data) from old rom continue there, delete files inside your sdcard /android/data/com.google.android.gms/files and look up same files in your ext sdcard (if you have one) cause some apps keep data here too.

Yes, but it will probably require porting the app to work with your launcher. Most, if not all, Samsung apps require having Samsung's stock Touchwiz launcher. Another option may be porting the Touchwiz launcher to work with your device to allow the Samsung app to work.

If there are simpler options, I'm not aware of them, if there are other options, they may not be very reliable.
