[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamthemandroid:
My internal SD card is mostly full (11GB) after a year of using my i9300, and I'm not sure where all that space has gone (some pictures and video but I think a lot of apps I used throughout the last year but ended up deleting). So I figure the next time I try a new ROM I will delete the whole thing and start from scratch, backing up my data of course. I will back up the entire internal SD card to my computer and take a nandroid backup before doing anything.

Should I format the internal SD card or just delete all its contents?

I've noticed that when I try a new ROM the internal SD card isn't touched, so where does the ROM actually get stored?

What does the wipe data / factory reset option in ClockworkMod Recovery actually wipe?

Does a nandroid backup back up the internal SD card? I have a feeling the answer is no, but then what does it actually back up?

If I use TitaniumBackup to back up all my app data and move that backup to my computer, then I delete the internal SD card, wipe the system, tehen replace my old ROM with a new ROM, then use TitaniumBackup to restore my apps and their data, am I missing anything? For example, I don't think certain data gets backed up by TitaniumBackup, for example photos (even though that might be considered 'data' of the camera app), so what could I be unwittingly missing when I do my restore from TitaniumBackup? How will I know what things I need from what's currently on my internal SD card?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No need to format it.

Lets distinguish between these things.

The "internal SDcard" is NOT an sdcard. It is a partition on the internal memory referred to as /sdcard (on other phones /sdcard mounts to removable media but not here). However, as it happens, the internal memory itself is an eMMC (embedded MultiMedia Card) which is where the confusion arises, so let us refer to eMMC as "Internal Memory" from here on.

The internal memory has many partitions (It's 14.9 GiB in total). It has a /system partition (ROM goes here) a /boot partition (bootloader), /recovery partition (guess) and /cache partition and a /data partition (A few others that aren't of interest here).

Usually /data is where all your data and apps go (in /data/app and /data/data) however, we use the FUSE file system to cleverly put /sdcard (usually removable media) into /data/media. This way /data is fully used as user data space.

Custom Recoveries wipe /data/app and /data/data. Stock recovery wipes /data which includes /data/media AKA /sdcard

No. It backs up /system, /data (ignoring data/media) and /cache. It often backs up to /sdcard so it cant backup where it is saving the files to

Backup titanium to /sdcard then copy EVERYTHING from /sdcard to computer, will catch everything. Titanium doesn't back up stuff on /sdcard unless it is explicitly part of an application and you select that option in preferences
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Etirel:
Your best option would be to format Internal SD card. And as you install a new rom, as you can see you only have 11GB of free space. Thats what is left from your total 16GB. Android OS reserves some space for bootloader, rom and cache.

The factory reset in recovery will delete all your system settings, apps, messages, call log and such. But if I'm correct it shouldn't touch the pictures. Nandroid backup doesnt hold your whole Internal SD card in itself.

And titanium backup backups apps and their settings, but it will not backup messages or pictures.. You can for example manually copy pictures to your computer and then back to your device. And for messages there is a good app called 'SMS Backup & Restore'.

Hope this helps :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
You formatted that means you have lost what was on the sd card .

If you put your Nandroid backup on that card then its lost .

I backup via philz_touch_6.00.8 but when i tried to restore philz_touch_6.00.8 could not find the backup folder or file. Also when i check the my data using file explorer also i could not find backup file or folder. Interesting that capasity of internal sd card is less then befor about 3 GB. Could you explain why i could not find and restore or remove ?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] theb:
Hi,

I just got my MDA II and love it. I've used pocket pc's before but never really got deep into it. I was wondering how, if possible, how to get the .Cab files from .exe's so I can put them in the ext-rom? I want to make my own custom ext-rom but dont have some of the .cab files for certain apps i want in it, I only have the .exe install files. Also...is there a way to save my settings in the ext-rom also? Im away from home and desktop alot so incase of a hard reset Im safe.

Thanks
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Tekflow:
When you install any program (using a setup program), go, on your desktop PC, to \Program Files\Microsoft Activesync. You will find there folders with the names of the programs you installed, and, in each folder, the related cab file. A few programs install directly in a folder in \Program Files.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] theb:
thanks for answering.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rayan:
Or if you are under Windows XP, sometimes you can just right click over the .exe file and select extract, there you will see all the files, including the .CAB ones... :wink:

[HTC One V] HW224:
Hi one V user.

Can i know what is the pros and cons of this phone?

I should buy this phone or incredible s?
[HTC One V] mr_nooby:
Very good camera, good roms, cool guys here :thumbup: cons : sometimes it bricks easily, not updated by HTC, probably s off wich will force you to flash kernel via fastboot every time. All I can say is that I love my phone :thumbup:
[HTC One V] HW224:
If i want to use custom rom, i need to root my the phone right?

Will the warranty void?
[HTC One V] Seraz007:
yes it will void warranty

and yes you need to root
[HTC One V] TheEndHK:
You will need to unlock bootloader and flash custom recovery, totally void the warranty.

It's hard to decide which one is better. One V got much better screen quality(It should be a low-grade IPS), much better camera though only with 5M pixel and 4GB rom. However, incredible S gives you 768MB ram(One V only 512MB), replaceable battery but with only 1.5GB rom(One V got 4GB). If you always play games, more ram and battery will be better. One V is more preferable for normal use without gaming.

http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_v-review-750p2.php

http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_incredible_s-review-580p2.php

You can see the One V LCD is superior over incredible S. For the LCD, the One V 3.7" IPS like panel indeed beat my old SE Arc S 4.3" TN panel. I can read the text on One V more easier than on a suck 4.3" screen. I think incredible S is using 4" TN panel only.

re: Unlock phone

Try this:

1. Enter the following into the dialer: *#197328640#

2. From the menu that appears choose

Main Menu > [1] UMTS > [1] Debug Screen > [8] Phone Control > [6] Network Lock > Options [3]Perso SHA256 OFF >

(after choosing this option, wait about 30 seconds, then go back one step by pressing the Menu button then select Back,

now you are in [6] Network Lock then choose [4] NW Lock NV Data INITIALLIZ .....

wait for a minute then reboot your phone...

There is no confirmation on the phone that the unlock was successfull....

just reboot your phone....

Good luck and be careful when doing this.

Hi,

I own the Galaxy Ace 2, currently still on rooted GB. I'm planning on switching to JB soon.

One question I have is that I'm thinging of compiling some kernel modules (USB gadget module) and custom injection drivers for the wireless interface (http://bcmon.blogspot.be/).

If i'm correct, I'll need the kernel sources to do this, are the sources available on http://opensource.samsung.com/ enough to do this? Or do I need more?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arroyo:
1. Why did you not used search option? The question you have asked was already answered many times

2. Why did you not read XDA rules and opened thread in development section just for asking about something.

3. Sources available at http://opensource.samsung.com/ are very incomplete. Build finishes with errors and then device won't boot with output kernel bin.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccnky:
Actually, sources are complete. Just contains some simple errors which can be fixed in a few seconds and then it compiles and boots correctly.

Did you restore any system apps or settings from an earlier build version? If not then go back and start again, testing settings after you factory reset.

Too low for Mini.

Try this:

Governor: ondemand (when you're not using your phone it runs on lowest cpu frequency that is set)

Max CPU: 768 (this is the biggest frequency that doesn't harm your cpu and doesn't cause freezes)

Min CPU: 122

It's perfect because when you don't use your phone battery consumption is very low and when it's used you get maximum performance from mini.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Just wanted to clarify what the differences are between android and original development. Here are some KEY points by our very own pulser_g2.

The following are most likely “Original Development”:

*Official releases of highly original and upstream custom ROMs (built from the ground up with significant original development within them

*Official releases/development of such original ROMs, perhaps posted by the maintainer or their nominated person.

*A significant “first” in development for a device. Significant is subjective, but it is likely something which took considerable time/effort, and is generally accepted by developers to be significant and non-trivial.

*Kernels which are built with beneficial changes that are not simply pulled from other kernels already available. Some element of original work is expected.

*ROMs where the developer has made a custom kernel for it.

*Tools and utilities with a clear purpose, and which are well-made, and useful to users. They should have an element of originality, either in purpose or through significant improvement in the means of operation.

*

Significant

port of a ROM from one device to another, giving enhanced features or functionality to users of the target device. The port should be beneficial (a port from two virtually identical devices isn’t original development, it’s winzipping, and nobody really benefits from this, as it’s not development)

The following are most likely not “Original Development”, and should be posted in the “Android Development” subforum:

*Your own “unofficial” stock build of your favorite original, source-built (or otherwise) ROM, particularly where an official or maintainer-endorsed thread exists already.

*Minor derivatives of other ROMs with little or no changes, or ROMs consisting of “placebo” features as a main constituent or claim.

*Renames or rebadges of others’ work – these don’t belong on XDA at all! Refer to rule 12 for more information.

*Reposts of existing ROMs with small changes (i.e. kitchen work, such as adding a couple of apps). If you could realistically distribute your changes as an “addon pack” above and beyond a ROM, you should do so. In addition, your “ROM” would not be original development as it would be substantially identical to the original ROM.

*A thread created with unrealistic goals that are clearly unachievable by those starting the thread. This is not intended to discourage high aspirations, rather to prevent threads porting Windows Phone 8 to the HTC Wallaby. This is pretty much common sense.

*A ROM where a main or significant claim/feature is graphical changes to the user interface (ie. Themed ROM)

You can find all the info for it here. Threads will be moved if they do not meet the "Original" development requirements. Thank you guys and have fun! :highfive:
