I'm having a problem with making a nandroid backup. I'm wanting to know if anybody has this problem and or a fix. I don't know where to post this issue so I'm starting here.

I'm using:

Nexus 7 32gb wifi only ( grouper )

Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.4

TWRP v2.6.0.0

JellyBeer ROM v4.32

The problem is I can't totally complete a nandroid backup using Wug's Nexus root toolkit. When I try to make a nandroid backup using the toolkit it runs until it goes too make a backup on the sd card of my Nexus. My Nexus boots to TWRP but instead of making a backup it goes to the main screen of TWRP and stops there. My PC screen says `waiting for the backup to complete and your device to boot back up´ and stops there. I can manually make a backup using TWRP, then manually reboot and then the toolkit will proceed after the Nexus 7 boots up. However, when the toolkit continues it does so at a accelerated pace and fails to pull a working backup file to my PC. A 10 to 15 min process normally, now takes about 1 min and while it produces a file, it contains no data ( 0mb ).

I've used the toolkit with no problems before when I was using SmoothROM v5.2. I just started having problems last night when I installed JellyBeer ROM.

Has anyone had this problem? Does anyone know a fix for it?

Have you tried downgrading TWRP to 2.5? Have you searched through WugFresh's thread to see if others had the same problem with SmoothROM?
[General Questions and Answers] SheerluckSherlock:
Tried it with TWRP 2.5.0.0 last night and this morning. Just updated TWRP to 2.6.0.0 this evening and backup didn't work on it either. I've been checking WugFresh, TWRP, JellyBeer ROM, SmoothROM, and Nexus 7 threads and haven't seen discussion on this.

Few Questions

So, I have a LG Nexus 4 and a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" and have had other Android devices as well. I have successfully rooted all of them, and flashed custom roms on some. Often times, I run into small issues. A few questions I have.

Q1: What is a dirty flash and what is a clean flash?

Q2: When I flash a rom, most instructions say to restore factory/wipe (if coming from different rom), flash rom, flash gapps, wipe cache, wipe dalvik. Should I also wipe cache/dalvik prior to the flashing of the rom?

Q3: When should the kernal be flashed, before or after the rom/gapps?

Help deciding a good sounding phone.

Hi guys, i have been coming here often to deal with my android curiosities and its been quite helpful so far. I'm currently using Htc Desire and Sony Xperia P, rooted with oxygen and stock respectively. I use poweramp as my music player and have been quite happy with my Desire's sound over CX-300 II. However listening to an iphone put a frown on my face (for my device). I read that vodoo kernel over Galaxy s gives good sound so here it is. Im about to buy a new android and my prime focus is on sound quality (includes volume as the Sony P lacks some details over desire in my opinion) to the point that if something doesn't come up better (way better than the desire sound) i might go for iphone. I don't want to do that. So please suggest me how to go about it or any specific model i should look at. Also im not a fan of equalizers and keep my poweramp software tweats off. Being a musician i want to listen to music just the way the artist intended us to hear, no extra boomy base or irritating treble. Pure sound, good good volume and whatever detais i can get on my earphones. Thanks You.:)
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
Q1: Clean flash means you wipe everything you're supposed to wipe (like wiping the counter: "clean"), then flashing the ROM. Dirty flash means you only wipe Dalvik cache (or, in some cases, even no wiping at all), then flashing the ROM. A dirty flash is only possible if you're flashing a newer version of the same ROM which is already on the phone, such as a newer nightly build.

Q2: No need.

Q3: The kernel contains some core files needed by the OS. All ROMs already contain a kernel. If you want a certain, special kernel, it must be flashed after the ROM. Otherwise, the ROM will overwrite the kernel files you just finished flashing. The order of kernel/GApps flash doesn't matter.

I recommend you take a look at BetterBatteryStats. It will tell you exactly what's preventing your device from going into deep sleep. Make sure you read the 1st post of that thread properly & follow instructions on creating a dump file. Enable root features for the app. When you have a dump file, post in that thread & attach the dump, someone will help you analyze it.

Question

Hi people!

First of all I would like to say this is a great community

Well, I'm very new in this topic, but after a lot of time reading I would like to install CM 10.1 RC 6 on my samsung galaxy ace (S5830). I'm on 2.3.3 right now, but im a bit confused on how to do it. First of all, I have to install a custom recovery like Clockworkmod, then with the .zip file in my micro sd enter the recovery and flash it? Do I have to do other thing? Thank you for your help
[General Questions and Answers] kendalf:
Do you know if the contacts showed up on your computer under Gmail contacts prior to doing this? It seems to me that if they don't show up when you are logged in to Gmail, then they may not have actually been backed up to your Google account.

Couple things: can you confirm that you are using the same Google account that you previously had on your phone? Perhaps you had multiple Google accounts and only one of them synced contacts.

Also, in Gmail Contacts there are actually many different categories of contacts (eg. My Contacts, Circles, Most Contacted, and Other Contacts). I was trying to find my contacts today and didn't see them in My Contacts, and it wasn't until I clicked on "More labels" that I saw the "Other Contacts" label that held most of the contacts that were on my phone.
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Go to settings > accounts and sync > google

You can sync everything Google has backed up there, or click on your email address at the top of the screen to pick what you want synced and what you don't.

I only have one gmail address on my phone. I am not sure if they showed in my computer when I log in to gmail I never bothered to check before. I looked at other contacts and there was nothing on my phone either..

I just don't understand, the phone asked me if I wanted to store my contacts on gmail, I said yes. I don't remember if it did a syne back then when I agreed to but in order to take the contacts out of my phones memory it had to store them in the gmail didn't it? I had many contacts before I agreed to store them in gmail why would they just delete them before they are synced to the gmail?

[General Questions and Answers] kendalf:
It's hard to say what may have happened. My guess is that the sync didn't happen, or it was turned off at some point, or perhaps the contacts were all deleted from the phone, and then a sync was conducted which deleted all contacts that had previously been saved in the cloud. Sorry about this! :(

Yes, both of them are. Weird thing is that if I use the sd card adapter, it won't read. If I plug it in using USB, it does (The card I can't change). The good card won't keep the music. It adds it and lets me play some songs once then it says there is no program found to play selected file, and within 10 minutes, it's gone. ... unfortunately I do not have an SD card reader :(

fast boot!

so, when unlocking a bootloader-

do i always need to activate fastboot on the phone, as well as usb debugging before i start the process?

i thought yes, but i'm asking because i was reading a tutorial for unlocking and rooting and it only instructed to enable usb de-bugging at the beginning of the process, it did not mention enabling fastboot as well.

so, was this just something they left out? forgot to mention fastboot enable as well?

i'm not told in my rooting tutorial to do anything with the recovery image that came in the rooting pack that i downloaded.

i'm just supposd to click the .bat file in the app and apparently it will flash recovery-

-BUT-

doesn't the recovery image need to be on the sd card to flash?

or is there some way to flash recovery w/out the image on the device itself? i notice the .img file is included with the package i downloaded...

What Exactly Does CWM Backup?

alright this is a noob question but:

I rooted my phone a month or so ago and have been using xposed modules to tweak my phone but im interested in flashing kernels and roms after doing loads of research and i made a cwm backup and i was wondering, if i was to softbrick my phone would all my music all still be there or would it all be lost, as i have no other backup of my music (stupid i know) because my computer has run out of memory (dont ask me how, but i share it with my computer gets full up of her stuff :'( ) so praying i dont hard brick my phone, would all my data be there if i restored after the rom wipes my data or i softbrick and go into recovery?
[General Questions and Answers] UberMeow:
CWM backup only backs up the ROM. It doesn't save anything like contacts, apps, home screen settings, etc. Music and pictures are on your SD card, so they'll always be there. You'll need Titanium Backup to save your apps and data. There are also apps that save your home screen settings, but I'm not familiar with them.
[General Questions and Answers] n3xusn0ob:
Thanks :) so if I screw up flashing anything, I'll loose all my app data and music files?
[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
Partially true. A nandroid backup is backup (snapshot) of your system, data, boot, recovery, everything except personal files at that moment. When a nandroid is restored your calendar for example will reflect your calendars state at the time of backup, if it's synced with anything like Google, it will make any changes after boot up and sync begins. I've run into that several times where I have missing contacts and calendar events after a restore and then about 20 minutes later everything is normal after Google syncs

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------

Your personal data can remain there unless you screw up your partitions, flash a ROM that does a full wipe, or a few other circumstances. I flash between ROMs and updates quite often and don't lose anything. That being said, you need to not only do your backup, but you also need to backup your music and personal pics because they will not be in your nandroid backup. Get an otg cable and put it all on a thumb drive if need be, but always, ALWAYS have backups of everything...

---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 PM ----------

Depends on device. Samsung for example you don't go to the boatloader but you have to have debugging on. My nexus 7, I unlocked the boatloader and turned USB debugging on. Other devices you have to s off, debugging, etc.

What device are you working on?

You're super early for that request. Gotta give the devs time to work on stuff.

How is an s4 not a phone? If you're going to throw advice at someone, try to steer them towards what they want; not just a blanket statement about themes in the app store.
[General Questions and Answers] UberMeow:
Just add a lock on your phone. then you won't be able to access notifications from the lock screen and you need to know the lock to access them or anything else on the phone. (apart from the camera and emergency call)
[General Questions and Answers] Megaflop666:
Are you just wanting the icons on your s4 or the entire theme? I've found almost any icon packs can go between devices if you know what the icon pack is. Cm11 on your s4 does support theme and icon packs. If you look in the play store, cm has it's own theme app, here. If you find out which icon pack that is we can help you find that as well.

---------- Post added at 02:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------

Again, only partially true. You will need to turn off lock screen notifications or they will show up even with a locked screen. Depending on your rom, the notification shut off will usually be in settings/lock screen settings. Some ROMs have to turn it off differently.
