I agree with polobunny above. If you're upgrading from one CM build to another, you can do it inplace and easy using their updater tool. Just look in About Phone and you'll find it. I'm not using CM anymore, but when I did i always just used their tool. It downloads and installs for you...couldn't be easier.

I love Titanium Backup too. It's definitely worth getting the pro version because otherwise when you restore your apps, you will have to go through, one by one, and click install for every app. Plus, with pro you can set it to keep more than one copy of each app. I keep 2 copies in case I need to roll back even further (ya never know).

I was rooted with designgears root method. I tried to put SU in survival mode to initiate the update to MJ5 but the update would fail after 26%. I figured I could go back to stock and repeat the process to see if i deleted any essential apps. I did not know which apps i deleted. I was able to return to stock using Kies. I saw the build was MI9 and figured since it matched the file name using De La Vega Root it would take but it didn't. Now, after using different types of MI9_OneClickBin.exe files it freezes. I tried the method found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2502049 but once I put the AP file in Odin, it too freezes. Now I'm just stuck and can't find a way to make my phone operational. (It's stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 splash). Any thoughts?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebaul:
You can't use that method once you update with OTA, it will brick your device and until a full Odin updated firmware comes along, we're stuck with the soft bricked phone, or a nasty Pen force close. Here you go:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baher4ever:
I was a Note 2 user and decided to switch to the new Note 3 the 3G version. After 2 days usage I ran into a strange problem, my device starts booting with a 1.7GB or ram used out of 2.66. After opening two or three applications (facebook , chrome, twitter) I end up with a 2.3GB ram. My device stops to responds afterwards randomly and I have to end task anything to gain control again, no touch screen responds. Sometimes the device also shows lag in shfting between menus and I check the Ram usage to find out I'm running out of Ram. I never faced any problems with RAM usage in Note 2 and never had the hassle to empty my Ram. I need to know if some program is sucking my RAM to death, how can I find out this? Is this a normal practice that Ram usage is like that? I checked my Note 2 and found that it starts with only 400MB usage!!.

I'm facing stops and lags whenever I reach this number, my Old phone used to comsume less RAM. The phone randomly stops responding and I have to end the process to gain control again. I happens with any program( not a certain program causing this problem)

Does this mean the phone is faulty and I have to replace?

Are there any test that you recommend?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 18sika99:
because your phones model is sm-n9005 and this model has 2.38 free ram and the system use only about 1 gig

but in sm-n900 model the free ram is 2.66 but the system use about 1.3 of it

so actually both of them are the same

try factory reset and it will be ok
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baher4ever:
Why factory reset...it has been working only for a couple of days
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohebq:
You will have to remove the bloat then or you can go to setting and check "Don't keep the activities". THis will not fill the ram at all but then if you minimize an app, it will be closed. This is the logic of android. The high ram usage is due to apps being stayed in the memory.

I also used note 2 for a year and I agree it wasn't the same. More ram means samsung has added more ram hungry apps.

Dear [MENTION=3562083]wanam[/MENTION],

I'm Vietnamese and I have used your extremely good themed editors mod.

Some Vietnamese developers have included some handmade mode for Home and Lock (power) button in status bar, and their instruction is to decompile, edit xml and compile again. But when I use you mod, I cannot edit them in the right way.

My point here is, if there is anyway that you can include these mode in your next update, since it's very helpful to reduce hardkey using (home and power button).

Below are the module they instruct me to do, hope you can understand what I am trying to describe. (they are using apktool, notepad++, systemui.apk, framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk)

decompile

edit file status_bar.xml with notepad++

after these code [<com.android.systemui.statusbar.StatusBarIconView]

add below

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView android:id="@id/home" android:paddingRight="0.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:src="@drawable/ic_sysbar_recent" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_home" systemui:keyCode="3" systemui:glowBackground="@drawable/ic_sysbar_highlight" />

after these code [<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock]

add below

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.KeyButtonView android:id="@id/back" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="0.0dip" android:src="@drawable/ic_sysbar_lock" android:singleLine="true" android:layout_toRightOf="@id/recent_apps" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_back" systemui:keyCode="26" systemui:glowBackground="@drawable/ic_sysbar_highlight" />

copy 2 png files which name for Home key and Lock key: ic_sysbar_lock.png and ic_sysbar_recent.png into folder drawable-xhdpi.

I have do all but they don't work, i'm using Custom Rom Note X with your Mod Wanam Exposed.

Many thanks for your help if you can include this into your great modules.

Regard,

Bao
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] blazespinnaker:
Ok, so I solved this. Not sure how the battery drain is, but this is what I did:

Installed the NULL ROM (not sure this is required, anyone can test this by just installing the unhacked bluetooth chat apps)

Hacked the BluetoothChat sample app to listen for notifications via AccessibilityService and send them and their contents over via chat

Hacked the BluetoothChat to move to foreground and sound a buzz when it gets a chat message from its peer

Installed hacked BluetoothChat app on both Nexus 7 and Galaxy Gear

Voila! Now when there is a notification on my Nexus 7, it sends it over to my Galaxy Gear which buzzes me. As a bonus, archived list of notifications are available in the chat history.

Anyways, this is just a POC. Improvements are to measure battery drain and if necessary find a way to better use BLE.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] blazespinnaker:
Yeah, I'll see what the demand is like. Little nervous about sharing an apk that requires complete access to your accessibility, as it's a very big security loophole. If I do, I may only share the source code and ask folks to download eclipse and build it for themselves.

Another possibility is someone may carry the baton from here and do a less hacked version. If such a person is out there, I'd be happy to assist / collaborate. Little pressed for time unfortunately, but isn't everyone.

heya, i just installed the new fxp on my ultra, and i thought i had backed up my litecoin wallet on my sd card, but then when i went to go look for the file, i couldnt find it, so it must of been still on the internal storage, does anyone know of a good free program that might be able to recover files,

cheers
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Have a look with root explorer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer and look through the internal and external storage.

If you do not find anything, try unmount the sdcard and mount the card in a computer and view hidden files, what do you find?

If you running a rom you can start:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.baloota.dumpster

This will collect anything removed and you can either remove it forever or restore the file accidently removed. This is only for when running a rom, not if you wipe data etc when flashing a rom

And always do a nandroid backup from CWM if you not sure if the rom you flashing is working or not. It might not backup personal files but rather the whole rom and apps with its stored data

Your nandroids is stored in /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup/

Dear all,

I've been reading on this forum for some time because I rooted an Ainol tablet an a Sony phone with help from here before. But now I am totally stuck with my newly acquired 2nd-hand HTC Sensation.

I successfully flashed the Revolution Rom HD 7.3 to the phone but even with OC Daemon (or any other CPU tweaker) I cannot go over 1188000 as the max value. No overclocking possible.

Phone specs:

* bootloader unlocked (this means 'rooted', right?)

* Hboot 1.27.0000 (Pyramid)

* Firmware 3.33.401.1 series.

*

S-ON RL.

Further info is eMMC-boot, and it has fastboot on it.

Is it necessary to make the phone S-OFF in order to enjoy the overclocking benefits of the custom Rom?

If so, do I need to do a factory reset to stock ICS rom before I can do the S-OFF?

What is the best method for my specs to get to S-OFF?

I tried in various ways with the Revolution Rom on there, but I didn't manage to do it.

I saw this method ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=41244866 ) but I wonder if there isn't another way? I saw other methods for other Hboot numbers but not for Hboot 1.27 ... and if I do use this method, can I do it with the Revolution Rom installed?

I tried flashing various kernels not in the stock rom (some of which wouldn't flash and some of which caused the famous wi-fi error - luckily I did a Nandroid backup of my last known good configuration... had the wi-fi error twice already now). It seems also that i get some sort of 'image error' or something every time the phone goes into bootloader. I was unsure what to do with the radio file that came with the rom. I tried to flash that with CWM because I didn't know any other way, and maybe that was a mistake? I read that this may cause battery issues, and it does seem as if the battery drained fairly quickly especially while on 3g or WiFi despite black screen etc.

Please help.

PS I can provide screenshots if it helps.
[HTC Sensation] ashkan-khatar:
Hi.

1. No, unlocked BL does not mean rooted, it's irrelative. But as you have a custom ROM installed after unlocking bootloader, you're rooted. Because custom ROMs are normally pre-rooted.

2. S-off is not required to have your CPU/GPU overclocked, but you have booted up your ROM, this means you have a flashed kernel. But I suspect something right now. Did you perform a full wipe (deleting all data on internal partitions, data, system, cache and boot)? I don't think you have done. Therefore, you might still have stock kernel, which is not overclockable. To flash a kernel without a computer, you must have gained s-off. Otherwise you may not flash any kernel flawlessly, unless you either get s-off or flash the boot.img of the kernel using fastboot commands (as you mentioned, I don't think you know it, do you?) Post a screenshot of your kernel info at about phone - software section.

SENT FROM WHATEVER IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE LOCKED AT, THE THING IS THAT IT IS SENT.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
he can flash kernel without pc(if it is as a flashable zip file)

with 4ext recovery and smartflash enabled;)

edit: OP you can't flash radio while on S-ON and that file can be flashed only from bootloader

you were thinking that you flashed it

and about battery in fresh install don't judge it so quickly

give it 4-5 circle charges until it settles down

then see how it bahaves
[HTC Sensation] ashkan-khatar:
Oops... I didn't remember that at all.. :D

SENT FROM WHATEVER IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE LOCKED AT, THE THING IS THAT IT IS SENT.
[HTC Sensation] bel1eve:
Thank you to both posters so far.

I do not remember if I did a full wipe at the time.

I just remember it seemed to have fully installed...

Here is the kernel details:

3.0.16-g31a4fc7

htc-kernel@u18000-build-144#1

SMP PREEMPT

This is displayed regardless of which kernel I flashed... even with faux, this is what it would show.

I thought that might be because all kernels mimic the stock kernel...

So can you confirm that this is the stock kernel?

If so, I will go ahead and wipe everything... and start from scratch.

BUT - if I do that and then restore my Nandroid backup - won't the stock kernel be back?

And can I then reflash with faux kernel or any other compatible kernel while keeping my OS configuration?
[HTC Sensation] bel1eve:
Extra info:

I have CWMrecovery on it and Fastboot.

The Revolution Rom contains 3 kernels to choose from.

Initially I probably chose stock, but then reflashed the whole thing, trying to change it to on of the other two available choices.

So if I did a complete wipe and factory reset, and then reflashed with one of the other two built-in kernels,

would it then be overclockable?

And what would happen if I then restored my Nandroid backup - would the kernel I chose with the new installation remain in place as the backup is merely the configuration?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
if you choose one of the other two kernels then you can overclock

when you are restoring a nandroid backup it restores everything(system,data,boot,cache etc)

so if did a nandroid with stock kernel then it will restore that kernel too

edit: i advise to use 4ext recovery for flashing roms and kernels since you are on S-ON
