You are right - sorry about that. I edited my post above.

I do plan to bump up to stock (unrooted) 4.3 before I sell it. So just updating to 4.3 will not reset my status from Custom (but will set my Knox counter to 0x0)?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ROMANTiC KiD:
Nope. If you want out of the box phone like then you need to do as i stated above.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jj14:
bummer.... was really hoping to avoid these multiple steps of flashing stock MDL, triangleaway, OTA to MF9, and then OTA/flash MJA...

Thanks for your guidance though. I'll wait till I have the replacement phone activated - hopefully next week, just in case things go bad
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jj14:
Just wanted to update - I was able to get back to stock. Fairly simple actually (thanks [MENTION=673989]crawrj[/MENTION] for detailed instructions)

Ran triangle away on my MF9 - worked fine, and reset the counter/status

Flashed MF9 tar file

Booted up

Factory reset
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floateruk:
Hi All,

Hopefully this should be a very quick question. I'm loading CM onto my phone, and this is the first ROM I've ever used. I've loaded CWM, made a backup, and I'm about ready to go and load CW on. I've noticed though that out of the 5 or so gig the phone comes with for internal memory, about 4gb is used up. Is this just the system and the back up and apps?? It seems quite a lot. Will CM fill this up further? Will I encounter any issues?

I hope thats all clear, but excuse me for being a beginner.

EDIT: This is now even more relevant now CM is flashed. I've just looked in the file viewer, and there's still all the folders etc from the old samsung, and amazonmp3 etc etc. I thought the "wipe data/factory reset" in CWM would have cleared all this.....

Many thanks for looking.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iKlutz:
Factory reset only wipes the data partition. For the first time installing a custom ROM, and especially going from stock to cm for the first time, you should wipe the system partition which can be done from cwm.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floateruk:
Hi again.

So I finally got round to trying to get this sorted.... and I'm failing. I've booted into CWM, rerun the "wipe/data factory reset", rerun the "wipe cache" then went into "mounts and storage" and did a format of the system partition, but it still hasn't cleared any of the data.

Am I doing something incorrectly? I didn't want to play around with it too much, in case i bork it all. Any help would be massively appreciated.

Also, I'm a bit concerned about what formatting the system partition will do. Does it just clear the rom already on there, and I can then flash Cyanogenmod back on from my sd card?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iKlutz:
Formatting system partition wipes the currently installed rom / system apps.

How do you know that it is not wiping the data? If you do a system format and your rom still boots then it isn't working properly.

It could be a problem with the version of recovery (cwm / twrp) that you're using. It can't hurt to update it, which could be the case here.

Good luck. Let me know how it goes.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floateruk:
Thanks for coming back so quickly!

So if you see the attached, this is what I'm looking at. The phone has 5.5gb internal memory, of which, looking at the below, I'm using about 1.5gb, BUT I only have 1gb left to use, and I get warnings about lack of memory.... So there's 3gb being used for.... I don't know.

When I first put cyanogen on, I noticed that the file structure from stock was still there (i.e. all the folder my old apps made). I expected when I put CM on that it would wipe everything, including all of those folders.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iKlutz:
You can try an app called es file explorer, it has a feature that fully scans the contents of the internal SD card.

It should show a list of all the folders from the old stock data folders. You can multi select and delete what you want.

Another option which is more efficient, is to make a full backup of all the internal data in your PC. Then fully format the internal SD card via cwm and transfer which contents you need back from the PC such as photos and music. Asides from photos, music and other media items, most of those internal SD contents aren't needed as Android uses these folders for app data etc.

Always make back ups.

Your welcome.

Sent from the dark side of the moon.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floateruk:
Yeah, I have got ES File explorer. I couldn't find a "scan" but I've gone through all the folder on my device and I can see the following:

/storage - 3.83gb

/mnt - 2.11gb

/sdcard - 893mb

A lot of this seems to be duplicated though.... The stuff on mnt seems to be a shortcut to whats in sdcard, and all that in storage seems to be in the other two. I don't technically think it's all duplicated, but different ways to get to the same stuff, which makes me very nervous about deleting any of it....
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floateruk:
Just got a liitle program to give a break down. See attached.

Surely my system data shouldn't be that big?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iKlutz:
I recommend you make a full back up in your PC and format the SD card and transfer the contents of your current SD folder back. I've done it before on different devices, I do it on first root / cm install coming from stock because of all the old obsolete data. Apps like clean master won't removing it because it's marked as important for stock users. It shouldn't be a problem.

Note:

Having different links to the data partition is normal. It's purpose is compatibility.

It's possible that's reserved for the system. Mine is similar. You can still use it if you convert user apps into system ones.

It's something to do with backups. I'm gonna read through that thread and see if I can find out what I can/can't delete without bricking the phone.

Massively appreciate your time and repsonses on this iKlutz. Just out of interest, did you do a backup when you installed a rom? Have you found that the backup is this big??
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luisbraz:
Use ES file explorer or other file manager with root explorer capabilities.

Go to /data/media

You should see:

clockworkmod

legacy

obb

In clockworkmod folder I've found a backup (2.0GB) that was made by mistake to internal sotrage, since I allways do backup in CWM Recovery to external SD.

Deleted and 2.0GB were gained.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floateruk:
Hmmm. Data/Media is empty.... I might delete the back up from CWM. If the worst happens, I can always flash from the external SD card can't i? Do I "need" that back up of the device when it was stock?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luisbraz:
Do not delete.

Copy the folder(s) that you have in the "backup" to the external SD card to the "backup" folder in the "clockworkmod" folder.

Then, you can delete the backup folder located in "data/media/clockworkmod/".

I allways save the backup of the stock ROM's.

To restore in CWM recovery, simply choose "restore from external SD card". And to backup, choose "backup to external SD card", or it will backup to the internal memory.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luisbraz:
Did you solve the issue?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floateruk:
No.... I don't really know what to do with it.

I've got an s3 mini with Cyanogen and CWM and the system data portion is only 54mb.

I might go into CWM and start deleting things. If I delete the backup I made of my stock phone when I first rooted and added CWM, I can't see too many issues.... I can always flash a stock ROM again can't I?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luisbraz:
Yes, using Odin you can flash stock ROM again.

Next time do the backups in CWM to the external SD card! :)

Hey All,

Anybody get the dualpro case yet?

http://www.incipio.com/cases/smartp...s-verizon/dualpro-case-for-lg-g2-verizon.html

Looks pretty legit and price isn't bad. Was wondering if anyone has it and cares to comment, like it or hate it. Tried searching the thread but its not working, did a little digging but figured screw it, I'd post on here. Sorry if someone has already asked or reviewed it!
[G2 Accessories] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Its the best. I posted a bunch of pics on Android Central. The black/black in my opinion. It has a very matte tacky feeling that repels finger prints. Very good protection with minimal footprint. Better than Otter box Commuter I had on GNex which I loved.

Edit: pics I posted are here, page 9 http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-lg-g2/316095-cases-verizon-g2-9.html
[G2 Accessories] Droid_Junky:
I bought the case and really like it. If I had to find something wrong with it I would say that the rubber can be a lint magnet but it feels good to hold.

I also bought the "iGadgitz Black Leather Pouch Case Cover for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 II N7100 Android Smartphone Tablet" to protect the screen. After using it for a few days it has loosened up enough to slide in and out with ease. Adds a bit of total protection for the phone.

[G2 Accessories] pr0craztinazn:
I've had mine for a week, and apart from picking up any lint like a magnet, which is true for all cases with silicone I've seen, it's fantastic.
[G2 Accessories] Uronlyfriend:
Thanks guys, ordered! Went with the white/gray, I'll get a pic up when it comes in!
[G2 Accessories] marleyinoc:
I like it a lot.

But no case will defeat a face plant on a loose stone driveway, right?

Hold on tight!

Case went to replacement g2 immediately after unboxing and just before this picture!
[G2 Accessories] zathus:
Someone in another thread said the white one gets dirty really easy.. 8t does look sick though! I have the black on black. Best case I've ever used hands down. It is quite literally perfect.
[G2 Accessories] Super Grover:
EEK! :eek:

Holds my baby closer... :(
[G2 Accessories] sreymj:
I have it and love it. It feels great and provides great protection. I have the white/gray. The gray does attract lint, but not too bad.
[G2 Accessories] NavySpark:
I have owned the white/gray one for a little over a week. It is already starting to discolor at the corners and on the back. Pretty sad about that but still a great case. The two part design is great and it adds very little bulk to the phone. The Verizon version back is very slippery so i was happy to add a case that had a tacky feel to it.
[G2 Accessories] xdabbeb:
I think that would be me, and it's only gotten worse. Too bad, because the white looked good at first.
[G2 Accessories] docslate:
Case with Verizon holster?

Does anybody know if this case will fit into a Verizon OEM holster? I know the feather did and felt appropriately snug, but didn't know if this would be too tight.
[G2 Accessories] crashN2u:
I got mine last Saturday. I picked up the white/gray one even though I heard it discolored easily, it really does pick up colors easily. If you don't clean it right away, it will be harder to clean later. I think I'm going to try and scotch guard it. My one beef is the headphone jack hole, Depending on the plug being plugged in, it sometimes doesn't seat all the way, or stay seated, I may try to open it up larger.
[G2 Accessories] dc5pat:
I have the black and the cyan version. Only problem with the cyan is when it gets dirty it will show. Just like with any colored case.
[G2 Accessories] crashN2u:
So, today is day 4 and the case has finally picked up some stains that aren't coming out. I should have had some scotch guard ready....

Wireless Charging

Can anyone tell me if the wireless charging will work with this case on the phone?
[G2 Accessories] zathus:
Works just fine, I use the lg puck and the nokia pad and it works just fine for both
[G2 Accessories] bigwavedave25:
I had a Otterbox Commuter for my GNex also, which I hated how slippery the outer hard shell part was. Is this one similar or does it have a layer of "soft touch" paint for grip? I read in the second post that he thought it was tacky but wasn't sure if that was relating to the soft core or the shell... Thanks!

edit: received my dualpro and the shell does indeed have soft touch coating. It is still a little slippery, but nothing like the naked phone or my last Otterbox.

Obviously if there are any issues please report them! But please only report them once.

WREXY

Wrexy is a conservative based governor. Its similiar to the Lionheart gov. It tends to stay out of higher frequencies to favor lower frequencies but performance is not hindered. Personally I use this as my CPU Awake gov
