[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DrPhant0m:
I presume you used Titanium Backup to restore your apps (for several hours)...?

I have a pro-tip for you, and anyone that wants to listen. There was a huge feature introduced relatively quietly to Titanium Backup recently, which allows you to create a flashable zip file with apps and data in it. The best part is that the app+data restore happens, like...

super quick

. I restored 150+ apps in less time than the ROM took to flash.

I created a file (1.5GB in size) that flashed everything from AngryBirds to xposed mods... and they were preinstalled with app data restored when I first booted Baja v16.

You need to have a free app called ZipSigner to make it really slick (otherwise you have to sign the file yourself)... but you do it like this:

Make sure you've got current backups of all the apps you want (you should have this before flashing anyway)

Apply any filters that you want... I have a "Must Have" label that I activate that only displays a subset of the most important apps

Go into the batch actions in TB, and scroll nearly to the bottom to the "Recovery" section and start the "create update.zip from apps+data"

Pare down your list to what's appropriate for you, and make sure "sign with zipsigner" is checked. You can also decide if you want apps, data, or both.

Perform the operation. It will take a while to create, but you're saving time in the long run. I did this while the ROM was downloading, so I didn't postpone my v16 joy.

When it's all done and signed (the signing SHOULD take a long time), you will have a large file in your SD partition.

When you go to install the ROM, add this to your zip queue, and watch the magic happen.

I also recommend creating the Titanium Backup installation zip, which is done in the preferences list... and flashing this as zip #2 in the queue (after the ROM, and before the apps+data)

I hope this helps everybody! It really helps me, because for some reason, I have issues restoring my apps in the OS. TB will get stuck on several apps, and I have to open the play store, install it manually, and then TB will continue with restoring the data. I do not have this issue when I restore in recovery.

Let me know if you run into issues or have questions with this. I'm still tweaking my list and approach to make it perfect, or so I don't need to recreate it all the time. For instance... I'm considering only backing up the apps (and not data) to give the zip file more longevity... and then restoring the data for all installed apps once I boot up... but, there's no harm in restoring old data in recovery, and then flashing updated data after boot. Thoughts?

***Full disclosure*** I do have problems when I try to create a zip file from ALL of my "important" apps, which totals over 4GB. I'm in discussion with ZipSigner's dev to see what the issue is. Could be the sheer size of the file... could be one of my apps and/or appdata is throwing a wrench in the works (corrupt/incompatible)... or something else. When I create a subset of those "must have" apps (REALLY must have apps), and make a 1.5GB file, I'm OK.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BigMcGuire:
Wow.... thank you!!!! I'm going to do this next time. Yes, Titanium Backup freezes on my 80+ apps at least 5 times - I have to end task it and start again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DrPhant0m:
I still restore stuff in the OS (the traditional way)... and I doubt we can avoid it completely... but instead of force closing it... try downloading the app in the Play Store and waiting for it to install. I bet as soon as it installs, TB will snap out of it.

The real problem is when you try to restore stuff that's not in the play store anymore (adaway, flappy birds, other old stuff)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BluPhant:
Using Titanium Backup to restore a select group of apps

Not sure if you need Pro TiBu for this, but I've been doing the following:

* In Tibu, Give all "Base" user apps a label of "Restore After Rom Update". Click on app, scroll to right to choose special features, and choose Assign Labels.

* Do a final backup right before upgrading

* Filter on label & create update.zip (note, it appears to go to root on device storage, haven't investigated if possible to go elsewhere)

* TWRP backup for safety

* Wipe/Install new rom

* Boot, add google accounts, etc

* Install update.zip

I had a couple of apps that didn't restore user data properly, but I didn't bother to research, just restored data and all is well.

Note here that it's important not to restore system apps unless you really know what you're doing, because from version to version stuff may change.

This is all just what I do; there may be room for improvement. Been running 16 for some time now, and I think it's quite literally the best release ever. The amount of effort that went into this build is nothing short of phenomenal.

yeah, ive had it freeze up on me too. just look to see on what app it freezes. force close, restore apps again and dont backup that trouble making app. dl from play store.

Where are the xposed modules installed?

I'm running into that problem where I can't update App Settings or delete GEL Settings... and I used to find it in a "sec-app" folder somewhere and delete it with Root Explorer, but I can't find it anymore.

Any help?

I know that removing it with Titanium Backup is an option, but I need to get rid of more than 1 of the mods, so I'd rather remove them all in one motion.

***Update... I found it... /system/priv-app/

---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------

I've had a problem with the default theme for a while... white text on a gray background. I don't mess with the themes that much, I always keep the default.

Maybe I should try some themes (they seem to be a major draw of this ROM/release)... and maybe I'll have more luck with better-contrasting colors.

Yes. I still have my stock slot on baja15. With 3.75b4 you can put what ever in slots. I have bajarom 16 in slot 1 and jasmine 2.0 in slot 2
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] DrPhant0m:
This might be a dumb question... but are there previews of the themes anywhere? downloading and flashing in recovery is a big investment based on the name and icon alone (in Baja Settings).

In fact... I need a Baja Theme tutorial. I just flashed one... didn't like it... and flashed another, and it's still the first theme. Do I have to flash the "return to stock" theme in between? If so... can I flash "return to stock" and then immediately flash the next theme... or do I have to restart and reboot into recovery again?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] burbank:
The absolute best policy is to do a clean flash. When users do dirty flashes and then report obscure problems that don't affect others it really taxes the developers.

FWIW, prior to installing each revision i do the following (some of which is likely redundant):

Backup SMS and Call log using appropriate apps.

Backup NOVA settings.

Reboot into recovery.

Factory Reset

Wipe System

Wipe Data

Wipe Dalvik

Wipe Cache

Install new ROM

Reboot

Restore user apps using appropriate methodology.

Restore SOME user app data

Enjoy new ROM

The whole process takes around 20 minutes. Well worth it.

Bajasur is the only DEV who continually apologizes when new versions aren't dropped as soon as the users would like. No need to apologize Bajasur. Your ROMs are a work of art. They will be ready when you say they're ready.

Thank you for an awesome build 16!

The greatest concern with the failed downloads from your site is that (at least in my case) the phone's browser doesn't report the failed download as failed. My first attempt to download build 16 from your site said the download was complete. If I hadn't noticed that the file was only about 150MB I would have been up a creek after wiping everything. AFH worked the first time. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

I think you already got your answer. But to clarify, this is not a BAJA problem. I believe it's because of Safestrap. I do know that the BAJA team has discussed ways to circumvent the problem. Maybe someday...

But yes. Battery pull, restart in download mode, transfer to recovery and you'll be all set.

---------- Post added at 05:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------

As I write this, the latest SafeStrap is Safestrap-HLTEVZW-NC2-3.75-B04. It can be downloaded here:

http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/?id=1481#downloads

Don't forget that after installing a new SafeStrap apk you need to "Uninstall Recovery" and then "Install Recovery".

So I wanted to install Baja16.

Booted into recovery. I had been running Baja15 on slot1

I wiped slot 1.....and the phone autorebooted. Got to screen to choose recovery or continue, picked recovery.

Boot slot was now Stock. I tried to create slot 1 to flash Baja16 onto it, but the button to "create" was greyed out and said I had no free space to create.

I tried to reboot and it looped on boot screen.

Pulled Battery. Started up, into recovery. Boot options. NOW I can create slot 1. There is now available space.

What happened??

Actually just finished trying that. I completely uninstalled it. First deactivated, uninstalled from in xposed installer which would only let me go back to version 1.6 so I used titanium backup to uninstall it. Rebooted, reinstalled from in xposed, enabled, rebooted and still same thing. TouchWiz is the only option and it is grayed out so I can't even try to change it from in default applications.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] burbank:
I think this is something that Bajasur will fix in the next release. You can't disable the battery icon using xposed. If you try, it will reappear after a reboot. So if you attempt to disable the one in the ROM and add another using xposed that might cause both appear. (I'm just guessing here.)

I too would like to disable the battery icon and just reply on Battery Bar. Currently, there is no way to do that.

Stray cosmic ray.

If not that, than maybe a safestrap issue? Are you running the latest b04 of Safestrap 3.75? And after installing the latest SS beta, did you Uninstall Recovery and Install Recovery? Are you using slots which were created with a previous Safestrap beta when slots weren't supported? If it doesn't disrupt you too much you might consider deleting all your slots and recreating as needed. (FWIW, I run bajarom in the stock slot.)
