[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I don't know if this could be your cause but if you pushed an app into your system yourself it became a read only file so when it tried to update it might have been a conflict with read/write permissions, try uninstalling the update in system settings/application manager and put back to original, see if that works, but first when in app manager find the app you're talking about and clear cache and defaults, try that first, if it doesn't work then do the uninstall update, if that doesn't work then boot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik, reboot try again, if still nothing, try factory reset in settings then reinstall your app and see what happens, if still nothing then go back to recovery and do your wipes again then restore your latest backup if you have one, reboot, if that doesn't work then go back to recovery and reflash rom and gapps, full wipe,( data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, reboot, reinstall app if its not there push it back to system if needed, if none of that works then I'm lost.

---------- Post added at 06:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

if you are trying to push user apps to system you'll have to grant your file explorer superuser permission then change system the read/write then you can move any apps you want to system, you can even get rid of nonessential system apps to free up space, DONT MESS WITH ANY OF THE GOOGLE APPS, do some reasearch to see what is safe to get rid of to be safe, if you need me to walk you through I can step you through it, it would be best for you to be on another device or pc so we can message back and forth while you follow my instructions, I can take you step by step that way instead of writing a long message that might get confusing for you.
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
you are replying to the wrong person.

also, im pretty sure you are wrong about the permissions. every app i manually put into system defaulted to rw- rw- rw-, (possibly rwx rwx rwx i dont recall) and if you dont change it to rw- r-- r-- it wont work.

I clicked reply to the post I answered, don't know why you got it, btw what I said WAS to give system write permission instead of read only, once it has write permission you can do whatever you want with anything in the system, sorry you misunderstood

do you see the part about editing build prop to change to i8160 without the L? You MIGHT be able to do that to flash any of the non L roms, just a thought, find other users with your device and see if they have done this, ill keep looking but what I gave you is pretty recent, if you don't understand the instructions the link gives you I can help, but I think that process at least will work for you with any non L rom, not sure though, I didn't read the post in depth, I saw where it was saying to remove the L and thought it might stop the error you get in recovery about device model conflict but who knows

I did a simple google search "Custom Roms for GT i8160L" and that was in the first or second link

Ready to root? Need backup clarification...

Hello all,

SO... I have done a lot of research, being a complete noob to this and pretty much terrified of bricking my phone, but I'm not a complete noob to programming in general and for example I've used different IDE's such as code::blocks and others, messing around with C++, Java and such, and I understand many basic concepts but I am not l33t nor am I a hacker or an android superuser by any means. What I have managed to accomplish on my own so far: install android-studio and full android SDK (despite misleading and incomplete information on the android developers website - will android studio really replace Eclipse?? no install instructions, SDK manager requires admin access, etc...), I've installed the latest JDK, setup my environment variables and edited my path variable so I can run ADB from anywhere via the CMD module, installed the necessary drivers for my phone (TMO LGG3 D851 - it wouldn't appear in the ADB device list with the Windows drivers alone), found and installed the stock firmware (.tot) and .dll for my phone in case I need to flash back to 100% stock, and I literally just created a full .ab backup via ADB before typing this post. All of this was not *difficult* per se, but seemed unnecessarily complex... anyway - my question, which I can't seem to find a clear answer to anywhere (maybe nobody is asking the question clearly enough) is this: what EXACTLY is the difference between a "full" backup via ADB and a "full" NANDroid backup? From what I've read, if I'm understanding it correctly, a backup via ADB does NOT create a ROM "image" or "system restore point" like you would get via a custom recovery. It only backs up the DATA from your apps, etc, and does not include the state of the OS etc. whereas a NANDroid backup also copies the OS. Do I have this correct? Or am I missing something? I feel like I'm ready to root - TMO apparently does not lock their bootloaders ever, so I'm good there. I'm planning to use purpledrake and install TWRP and the custom boot.img to avoid root detection, and I just want to make sure I can get back to 100% stock including my OS if I make any mistakes. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
[General Questions and Answers] easyrider77:
I was under the assumption flashing an official firmware version tar file would flash the modem, bootloader, rom and everything. Am I wrong on this?

I went from the newest firmware for this phone and went back one release. Evening works OK except my modem and bootloader are still on the newest version still.

Perhaps I read in something that mislead me.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
are you rooted and have custom recovery installed?
[General Questions and Answers] DondonTheGreat:
yup, im rooted and currently using 4.4.4 Slimkat rom. what custom recovery? thx for reply
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
if you have Slimkat on your device then you should already have a custom recovery on your device, either CWM (clockworkmod) or TWRP (team win recovery project), if so then yes you can flash any rom and gapps as long as it is for your specific device. Find a forum for your device and you'll find custom roms and how to flash them, make sure its for your specific model number, your model number is in settings/about phone, select about phone and go down the list it pulls up till you see your model number, if your phone is at&t then you might be looking for the d2att roms but I'm not sure, I've never dealt with att devices

[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
most of that i cant even begin to answer, but ill give you what i got.

i dont know anything about the adb backup, but a nandroid is technically not a "full" backup. there are a few things it doesnt, or possibly cant backup. i cant list specifics, but for instance it wont backup your recovery, not that you really need to, but it backs up all the system, data, etc.

one quick note while were on nandroids. make an "efs" backup first in recovery, and copy it to a safe place on your pc. it is not good times to fix that without a backup, if it gets corrupted modding.

as far as returning to stock. with a truly unlocked bootloader, as you have, its pretty hard to brick the device short of doing something stupid like flashing the wrong phone or models firmware. all you need to know to re-flash stock is: how to get into download mode, lg's flash tool, tot or kdz file, dll file if needed, and instructions on how to do the procedure.

---------- Post added at 09:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------

some partitions are protected from downgrade, even with an unlocked bootloader and factory file. i cant speak for your bootloader, but generally, i have never heard of a modem partition being protected from downgrade.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I told you I'm not familiar with your device, you'll have to find the forum for YOUR device and MODEL NUMBER, go to the XDA home screen, find the search box, the XDA box, NOT your browsers search box, type your device name and specific model number in the box press go, it will take you to a page with a list of subforums for that device, look in the ANDROID DEVELOPMENT and the ORIGINAL DEVELOPMENT subforums, you will find a full list in both forums of different ROMs for your device, you'll have to pick through both forums until you find the ROM you want, you may even find something BETTER than what you're looking for you may even find a 5.0 lollipop rom for it, this is the newest ROM, users usually like the CM roms.

HELLO , guys

i am new to XDA and i dont know anything about rom developement

just had some experience with changing the rom

i am using galaxy y s5360

android 2.3

but i like ICS and jellybean version very much i want to put in my device

so i started looking for it i came across lots of custom roms and i have changed the rom many times still not satisfied i want to have real ics

now my question is that samsung galaxy y plus s5303 which has ICS and my device(s5360) are exactly similar just y plus have higher internal memory

why can we use the ICS firmware of s5303 and use to flash s5360 using odin just as we do for stock rom ?

or is there somthing to be modified can we do port

pls guys tell me

i am really mad about this ICS i have searching 1 year pls

I have no idea if this works (i just looked it up):

If its android os 4.2.x or latest you have to enable developer mode to use USB debugging.

Go to settings -> about -> build id

tap 7 time and you see message saying come you are developer, now you can see usb debugging option.

Good luck,

[General Questions and Answers] yaaseen:
but the hardware is same right can we just port the ICS firmware of that to this (i dont any thing about rom development)

so i will be the real ICS unlike any custom rom
[General Questions and Answers] _Cyn:
1. you cant just "port" firmware made for one phone onto another, it just simply would be a pain and a waste of time for you to try since you "dont any thing about rom development".

2. even if you DID manage to port it that phone does not have enough power to run ICS in a stable condition.

Basically, there is no point trying, but a better/newer phone, or just stay with what you've got.

umm how do i run the cygwin part... is it included in the apg package? Initially when i ran the Apg installer it extracted both the cygwin and java packages.

And as of now i scoured the net and found a Cygwin package from here software.jessies.org/salma-hayek/cygwin-setup.html

and installed it including the option of installing the ncurse package.

Im kinda stuck as to do what from here...

Any insight is appreciated:eek:
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
Your problem is here (at least):

The tput command isn't installed. Something is wrong in the way software was setup. Look in the autopatcher thread for instructions on how to setup Cygwin and all that, and double check that you've done it properly. Maybe there are other packages missing, dependencies which need to be resolved, or some settings in the software which should be changed.

[General Questions and Answers] RuggedHunter:
I decided to play guinea pig, since I use SafeStrap to boot into a choice of ROM partitions, I could use some space.

Without understanding much of what I was doing, I managed to use TB to convert Gmail, Maps, and Google+ to system apps. Immediately stuff started acting up, but after messing around a little bit, I fixed it all by dirty flashing my ROM, then updating each app/uninstall updates/reinstall updates.

Only after uninstall/reinstall did things go back to normal. But I'm now left with all three working as system apps, lol.

Surely I took the scenic route! :what:

its MUCH easier to use a file manager with root access because you can just do it through your phone by virtually the same process as you would on windows file manager, just a few clicks here and there and done, just have to have superuser access because without it you are locked out of your root directory and that's where your system files and apps go, that's the whole point of rooting your device so you can WRITE to system instead of just read it, Try to learn it that way next time
