[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deoren:
Hi,

Thanks in advance for reading this.

Details:

Phone: Google Nexus 4

OS: Android 4.4.2

Android SDK OS: Windows 7x64 SP1

adb version: 1.0.31

Eventually I hope to unlock the bootloader and then root my phone, but right now I'm struggling with making a backup and until I get that accomplished I don't feel comfortable going any further. I hope that someone here more knowledgeable can point out what I'm doing wrong.

Long story short, I fully charged the Nexus 4, updated the existing Android SDK so I'm using the latest version of adb and installed the Google USB drivers by choosing to install "legacy" devices and selecting all three drivers (one at a time). I then removed the fake legacy devices and chose to leave the drivers installed.

I then connected the Nexus 4 in USB debugging mode and it was detected via

adb devices

. I read here about using

adb pull /sdcard/ /sdcard/

and translated that to:

adb pull /sdcard/ .\sdcard

since I am on a Windows box. That worked fine until a subfolder within /sdcard/Android for the Amazon Kindle app was encountered. The copy attempt was aborted due to a filename that I'm guessing the NTFS filesystem didn't care for.

I figured I would just move past that and come back to it later; maybe use ES File Explorer to create a zip file or copy/paste specific folders via Windows Explorer interface.

I then moved on to running adb backup and ran:

adb backup -apk -shared -all -f .\nexus4-backup-010114.ab

After a long while the command appeared to complete and control was returned to the command prompt. The resulting file was about 1 GB in size and no errors were shown on the phone or on the command prompt by adb.

Not one to trust just one run, I tried it a second time and the process hung. I cancelled the adb call and ran

adb reboot

to reboot the phone. I tried again and the process hung yet again.

I've tried all of the following and the process seem to hang (waited several hours one time):

*

adb backup -apk -shared -all -f .\nexus4-backup-010114.ab

*

adb backup -apk -shared -all -nosystem -f .\nexus4-backup-010114.ab

*

adb backup -apk -noshared -all -nosystem -f .\nexus4-backup-010114.ab

and based on the suggestion here I tried with and without an encryption password. The first attempt was without a password and later attempts was with providing a password at the time of the backup (when prompted on the phone).

Before posting this, I tried setting a password within the Developer options on the phone and had the same luck with running:

adb backup -apk -shared -all -nosystem -f .\nexus4-backup-010214.ab

By this point I'm ready to throw the phone against the wall (even if it doesn't deserve it). Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I ended up giving up on this as I've spent three days and didn't want to wait any longer. I backed up the contents of /sdcard/ into a zip file (using ES File Explorer) and will restore contents manually as necessary.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronospike:
I use the headphone jack a lot in my car as I have a 30 minute commute one way to work. I also have a lot of apps that require root (some of which were purchased) and would not like to lose root if possible. Has anyone else received a replacement that was still able to be rooted? I'm on the fence about just riding it out until my contract is up. I have tried 3 different aux cables and 2 sets of headphones in both my phone and my gf's phone but with no luck so I'm pretty sure it's the 3.5 mm jack.

Have this thing recently where my phone is randomly launching my browser (chrome) and displaying leadbolt ads for various apps. "Airpush Detector" says I'm clean, but that's obviously not the case. I've also installed "Leadbolt Optout," but nothing has changed. Anyone have any wisdom here? It's driving me nuts.

Phone is unrooted, by the way.

Hey guys. I was at work today and i noticed that i couldn't send outgoing texts. I toggled wifi off and saw that i couldn't get any verizon data. I was on cyanogenmod 11 nightlies but had never had this problem before. i thought maybe a verizon cell tower was down or something. I came home and the problem still persists, I used a backup to cyanogen 10 which was completely stable and still have no verizon data. I then went to stock galaxy s4 and still have no data. Does anyone know what the next step is? This has never happened before. Any help would be appreciated.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stein5830:
Pretty sure you cannot go from CM11 and use a CM10 backup on top of it. I had an issue on CM11 when I try to open "Mobile Network" or "Mobile Plan" that I get a few FC's and no data. Reboot or manually disable and re-enable of data solves my problem.

Seeing as you used a CM10 backup already you might have to try and re-flash CM11 with a system/data wipe (i think) to get working data again. Worst case... Odin back to stock and start from scratch.

[Networking] bbr92:
Hi, has anyone been able to get Skype working on there XDA via BT and Activesync. Skype installed without and problems and Activesync and my Internet connection work fine over BT. I can logon to Skype on my XDA and see my contacts etc, but as soon as I try and make a call I get an error saying "no proxies found"

I have stopped firewalls etc on my desktop and checked open ports, I could understand if I couldn't logon to my skype account or browse the web from my XDA but I can do both so am unsure why it fails to find the requred proxy servers?

Thanks in advance.
[Networking] SPVM2000owner:
I'm trying the same thing. Worse I do need to use a university proxy.

I can get skype working on my main PC. Another idea I had was to use the Pocket PC as a 'headset' for my PC. i.e. if someone had a program that would allow me to use my XDA2 (=SPV M2000) as a bluetooth headset type device for my laptop (or other phones for that matter).

It would let me use the phone as a headset for the PC

Dial in through skype on the PC, and walk about talking on my pdaphone.

It's not as good as using skype on the mobile. But still it'd be far better than not being able to do it at all.

I'd be using wifi all over the place if GPRS wasn't constantly trying to connect. Also A WEP cracking program would probibly be a great thing (is it true they've switched to another type of encryption now though?)?

Cheers folks.

[Blade General] irlinit:
Hi guys

I've had my phone now (ZTE Blade V) for 3 months, and the other week it suddenly froze while I was using it, so I turned it off, then when I tried to turn it back on it went to FTM mode. I have tried the volume/menu/power key combinations to try and get it up working again but none of them work, it gets stuck on the screen with the android logo with 'ftm' written inside it.

I tried sending it off to my phone company, but they said I had front damage on the phone so I would have to pay for a new one (this is a lie, there is no damage on the front!)

So basically, before I go and buy a new phone, I want to try and fix it. Does anyone have any instructions I could follow? If you do then could you please post them in an easy to understand manner as I am not too good with phones, but I can easily follow instructions if they are clear. I would be very grateful if someone could help me!

Thanks

[Xperia Z1 General] Miustone:
Hello Boyz'n Girls!

I'm now back on XDA with my beautiful Z1. Ok i think the most of you don't know who i am... So for explanation:

This -> X <- is MI-ustone-UI , a MIUI Port based on CM/AOSP!

Now i want to join the Xperia Z1 Development with a

MIUI ROM

!

Sense of this Thread:

I need a Team! I'm atm. a bit busy with moving into a new Apartment, but in 2 Weeks it's done and then i want to start porting

MIUI

!

Is anyone willing to Help Me? You just need:

-Xperia Z1 :silly:

-Experience with Porting and/or experience with making ROMs

-Logcat experience

-Compiling knowledge (Thats not my part! i'm using 'Bases' to Port)

-Time

Please Reply here if you want to Join!

The Plan:

-Find a Base (Stock or CM/AOSP!?)

-Find a MIUI Base (Any Device with nearly the same Specs to the Xperia Z1,1080P Display ect.)

-Start Porting ( I can create a flashable.zip (Port))

-Compiling a working boot.img with ramdisk changes for the ROM

-Logcat to find the reason for Bootloop

-DONE? Lets see what happened!

PS: Happy New Year ! :)

STATUS UPDATE:

-STOCK BASE - DONE

-MIUI BASE MI3 WCDMA - DONE

-Start porting on 31.1.2014

LINK to the Base

Feel free to Help!

Mods and Tweaks for this PORT:

-Audio Tweaks (No Sound Mod) ;)

-Volume Boost

-Camera Tweaks

-Rendering Tweaks

-Dithering (atm. not sure how to do this)

-Expandeble Desktop (Maybe with the Option to switch between PIE Controls and Navbar)

-4.4 Android GPU Driver

-full GPU Rendering (Adreno 330 is a Beast)

-Custom Kernel (Like Doomkernel and/or X-Raw)

-Supercharged

-More is coming soon

[Xperia Z1 General] fedevd:
Hmm, the main issue with 4.2 and 4.3 was always the SE Linux.. The good side on this Sony is that they are closer to AOSP than Sammy so it will be more easier or at least it will gave less weird issues than Sammy.. I have Xperia Z but is closer to Z1, I can give a try too or take a look on logs and help a lil bit.. I was going to port MIUI but we already have a workin build, the bad point in it is that it instructions to install are reeeeally big on LB.. Well I wrote too much, I was thinking in high voice xD

I will suscribe to this thread or your MIUI build and help if I can..

[Xperia Z1 General] fedevd:
Hahaha, you have a contract with your carrier rite? Take a look to your country laws.. You own that device so if your carrier contract ends, they and Sony will have to unlock your bootloader.. You better should translate this to English and read it:

http://androidayuda.com/2012/12/11/xperia-con-bootloader-no-desbloqueable-es-posible-desbloquearlo/

I have no problem to help you.. Tell me what do you need and I will try to help you ;)

The main problem with PatchROM is that was made for stock roms but they never made a documentation of it clearly and simple.. Take a look into the files on them sourced, I don't remember know the name of the file but you have to declare what apps will be injected with MIUI code.. Are you kidding me? Do I need to know what apps will be code injected? That has to be already declared by default and just remove conflictive apps.. Do you understand me? They made a small 'how to' but is for supported devices, not for unsupported devices or it is but is not clear at all, is a mess!! That's why is a mess and crap that source.. For me, in this case, this is the first time that I think that is better port it than build it from source.. That's why is useless.. =/

[MENTION=4756773]Miustone[/MENTION]

Sorry, I confused CPU in one specs with GPU.. Yes, both of them are the same. Try this method, remove 'usr' folder from Mi3 rom, then copy/paste from Z1 rom to Mi3 rom this folders:

* bin

* etc

* lib

* media

* tts

* usr

* vendor

* xbin

Then compile the kernel with shelld services and unsecure adb, copy and mod 'build.prop', change 'META-INF' and test... If boots then it will be easy to port it, if not then will be more hardly..

Anyway you could make it support "xposed installer," or at the very least an expanded desktop. I love miui but an expanded desktop is essential to me and the main reason I use custom roms.
