Easy, since you have a custom recovery installed (twrp) , you simply do a "nandroid" backup (I personally like to backup to an external SD card, so get a bigger one) before wiping and installing something new. If you like what you got, fine. If you want to go back, wipe and restore! Easy Peasy!

Sorry, being a father means sometimes your time suddenly becomes unavailable. But believe me, it's really easy once you figure out twrp.

I'll let another fine member get more details if you actually need them. ?

So did you figure it all out?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Ctrl_Alt_Del:
Doing a Nandroid backup as we speak! I didn't realize TWRP could do that. (duh! :p ) I only installed TWRP because I just liked the name of it. TWERP!! (gotta nice sound to it, doesn't it??) Thanks a bunch! :good:

I did. I found a Youtube link on how to do a TWRP backup on the Sprint Note 3. Easy Peasy as said above! I'll try some ROMs this weekend (can't promise nuthin' cause it's gonna be 70 degrees this weekend & I'm itchin' to ride my mountainbike along the boardwalk at the Virginia Beach.)

But now that the hard part is outta the way, it's all easy street from here!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kingdazy:
Just be sure to Please, oh god Please, read all instructions on any rom you decide to try. Doesn't hurt to read the last 10 pages of each too, get an idea of Current issues that may not be documented in the OP.

And don't get lazy, follow word for word. The only times I f*cked stuff up was when I didn't follow instructions (ie, thought my experience meant I knew best), or just got sloppy.

And, don't forget to wipe! (I wipe 3X, everytime, as a habit. Some people will give you reasons why that's unnecessary, but I can say confidently, if perhaps anecdotally, that I Never have the issues others have with bad flashes, softbricks, FCs, etc.)

Something to get comfortable with, even though you may never need it is ODIN. It's most common use is a utility for flashing stock ROMs and firmwares, great for recovery from bad things. Again, you may never need it, but have it ready in your Pc with a stock ROM file, just in case.

Finally, Titantium Backup can be your best friend, if used properly. It can also be a real pain, so don't become too dependant on it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Ctrl_Alt_Del:
No worries! As I said in the OP, I follow directions carefully. I read everything.

Odin is my friend as well. I have it installed on my laptop. That's how I flashed basebands & deodexed stock rooted ROMs on my Galaxy S III. I also have the original stock Sprint ROM for this GN3 "just in case", in a folder sitting on my desktop with a few extra tools. I've never bricked a phone, unless you count using Samsung's online update (can't think of the name at the moment). It said 4.3 was available, so I downloaded it. It flashed, rebooted, but stuck there. Never finished the boot, just gave me an error code. Samsung's own update killed my GS3 & was unrecoverable. Believe me, I tried everything. What was strange, was the ROM was 4.3 but the baseband was the previous version, not the newer one, so the phone just puked. It never updated the baseband so it bricked. Now, I tried (and used) different radios with no problems before the update. Everything worked in harmony. Go figure!

Time for sleep my friend. Gotta work in the morning!

3. switch off phone

4. Now Boot you phone in recovery mode by pressing Home Key+Volume Up Key + Power Key together for few seconds until you see samsung galaxy y logo

5. After that you will be taken to a menu, in this UI your touchscreen facility will not work, so use volume keys for scrolling up and down, home button to select and power key to go back.

6. In that menu select update from SD card and select the zip file which you have recently copied it in your SD card.

Hey did it work?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] CaistorMan:
Good afternoon people. I have been running my XDAIIi for a good year now, mostly sucessfully. 02 offered me a large credit to my account if I signed up again without accepting an upgrade. So, I'm gonna upgrade to one of Pugs Rom's to "fresh up" the phone. My question? Is it possible to restore the "old" sms history once the upgrade and reboot has been competed? Purely sentimental reasons. I've had a quick search for this topic, but with no success.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] christopherwoods:
I used smsBackup to back up my entire contacts, then I shuffled the backed up file to my PC and then back again once I'd done my new install (had to put the backed up file containing all my old SMSes there myself) but bingo: old SMSes back.

smsBackup is buggy, and it did crash on me (and once I managed to import all my SMS messages twice, oops) so it's not perfect - but it's the right price for me (freeness!) There are other apps that'll do this on handango and the like, but you will pay for them.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] dabsy:
use jeyo mobile companion,its very stable (never crashed on me) does call history as well

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] christopherwoods:
Just installed Jeyo Mobile Companion 1.1 tonight, and WOW, it's fantastic! I've just done a full backup of my SMSes, contacts, and inbox/outbox, and it went almost instantly. I can also send text messages from inside the app on my PC (via ActiveSync), and I can take screenshots of the device :D

All in all, great little app.

Yeah, and probably it won't have a battery. You'll need a power outlet to use it and the mobility depends strictly on the length of the cable :D.

At least this seems to be the new thing. Who needs a big battery when you can have a thin and useless phone?
[Galaxy S6 General] SJGSM:
snapdragon 810

Those Specs are Real:

The Galaxy S5 has a Snapdragon 805

And the Galaxy S6 will have the Snapdragon 810

You wont see the 64 bit 8 core Snapdragon 810 untill the Galaxy S6 even though it is already fully working and finished.
[Galaxy S6 General] imitenotbecrazy:
And who are you? Most tech sites are already showing the S5 as having an overclocked 2.5ghz Snap800. Not that an 805 is entirely impossible but roadmaps from qualcomm don't put it being out until later summer. Also I'm 100% calling BS on your "S6 specs"

[Galaxy S6 General] bobbarker2:
This might be a bit early but I got the sauce on the Galaxy S8. Samsung is planning to change the brand name from Galaxy to Universe so it will be the Universe S8. They hope to have Quantum Computation or xQC down by then. Early estimates show it will have up to a 5000% performance increase. Battery Life still 3 hours of screen time though.

I don't have knowledge about kernel but I see CM 11 text, if you use it as a base you'll always get brick at "stock" ROMs because that kernel doesn't have Touchwiz support it just made for CM/AOSP.

Edit : There won't be a problem If I say use the STE's leaked sources, right ?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toni5830:
To build cm kernel for this device you need to:

1- download the sources (I mean whole cm11 sources from TC github, I know they are something like 10gb but I don't know how to do in other ways)

2- run on terminal

cd *SourceFolder*
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch cm_janice-eng
mka bootimage

This worked for me for cm10 and cm10.1 kernels

For stock kernel you don't need the whole sources, there's a different process

[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] kartik.bose:
As the topic name suggests, is there any way to unlock TN7 without unlocking the bootloader? I just bought this 4 days ago and don't yet want to void my warranty.

A much bigger question that arises in my mind is WILL IT BE POSSIBLE IN NEAR NURTURE THAT ROOTING WILL BE DONE WITHOUT UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER?
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] mitragyna:
Nope. You need the bootloader to have fastboot access. So you can grant root access via fastboot. There is no other way to input commands other than bootloader screen. If u got it from newegg.com the accidental damage coverage will cover any issues with being bricked or damaged device. Trust me having root on TN7 is awesome! I enjoy those features on this tablet. The little things About root out weigh the bigger things aka warranty.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] kartik.bose:
Its a XOLO tablet ( Indian distributor ) , but it has that accidental damage protection! but still i dont want to void my official warrenty.

if BL should be unlocked to get fastboot access how did my xperia u got a root method that didn't want any unlocked bootloader?
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] mitragyna:
Manufacturers all make devices different.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] rchrdcrg:
I guess a better question then is how did that weird Chinese program root our tablets on 4.2? It didn't require doing anything at all to the bootloader.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] morrig:
Delivered 4.2 Notes came with unlocked bootloaders,they locked it down on 4.3 update.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Tha T:
does the 4.4.2 OTA lock your bootloader n restore recovery?
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] titetanium:
Are you saying that when we first got the Note 7 on 4.2.2, they were already unlocked? Then we unwittingly locked it back via the 4.3 OTA? If that's the case, why can't we just use the same method to unlock it back without voiding the warranty?

EDIT:

Another question: Can I make an update.zip and use the stock recovery to flash it without having to unlock the bootloader? The idea being that I want to flash a fix so that I can have write privileges to my sdcard while I still have stock Kit Kat without root.

Hey there,

Of course who doesn't love Nexus 5? One of my favourite features of Nexus 5 is the translucent shadow it has on top and button, i.e., the navigation bar and status bar gradient effects on top and bottom.

Is it possible to have that in Xperia L? I mean yes, we do have it in launcher.. but it's just translucent, there's no gradient effect. And that's only in launcher! Is it possible to do it via some Xposed module? I've seen some people have nexus 5 translucent statusbar and navbar, but I always wonder how they do it.

:') Not a serious case, but just asking.

Xposed + Gravitybox

Hi fellow SP users,

I recently updated to 4.3, and I´m more than happy, all is just great.

Straight to the point, is it possible in 4.3 to hide the navigation bar on demand like it was on 4.1.2?

I used Gravity Box for it, but it seems either I´m too stupid to set it up correctly (yep module is checked) or it´s simply not working anymore.

Any ideas on this?

I´m using 4.3 Existenz 2.0

Can you give me instructions on how to do it on 4.1.2 if you remember?And i'll find a way to do it in 4.3 ;)

2. Downloaded GravityBox (enabled in modules from xposed installer, rebooted)

3. went to "Screen Modifications (or something related to the desktop/screen(

4. selected "expanded Desktop" and ticked "hide Navbar"

now when I long pressed the power button, a screen appeared that gave me option to disable expand desktop or enable it ;)

well, I guess it´s related to the custom menu on the new existenz rom, it won´t let modify an app this menu.

Hello,

I was unable to find anything on the problem I am having with my stock HTC One X+.

When listening to music often there would be stutter. Sometimes more than once in one song, other times it wont happen at all.

The stutter sounds like: song playing>stutter>song plays in lower volume for no more than one second>stutter>continues normally.

Oh and also there is this other thing when a song starts then there is a brief moment that the volume lowers and then goes up again to normal. On PowerAmp Music Players.

I hope I explained my problem well.

Phone is HTC One X+

Android 4.2.2 with Sense 5, but using Next Launcher

This happens on every music player i mainly use PowerAmp.
[HTC One X+] /\/\:
Have you tried to reboot your device? Does this happen also during games?
[HTC One X+] kingofnice:
The problem is PowerAmp. In PowerAmp's audio settings disable direct volume control.
[HTC One X+] BORGdr0ne:
I tried what sixcarnage suggested but it didn't do an good.

The problem doesn't occur in games, but on every music player and not with Poweramp only, I have tried a few and it was the same. I hqve turned off EQ, beats audio and SRS and the problem is still present.

And no restarting does not work.
[HTC One X+] /\/\:
I experience sometimes audio problems while playing games, but those are random and rare, a reboot helps me always.

What about headphones?
[HTC One X+] BORGdr0ne:
Now that I played for a longer period of time on a game with music the stutter also happens in a game.

How to disable "Network disabled because internet connection is slow" on Galaxy

Normally, this feature wouldn’t be a big deal: if your WiFi network was slow, it would just transfer you to your cellular network until the connection gets back to speed. But if you want to disable, it's easy.

To disable this feature:

Long press on the WiFi toggle button

Hit MENU

Hit ADVANCED

UNcheck AUTO NETWORK SWITCH

This will disable the “Network disabled because internet connection is slow” message that appears under the disconnected SSID and will allow you to use WiFi without being disconnected.
