Why did you post that on Q&A, Help forum?

It would better fit on the "General" forum..

Please request mods to move it ^_^

I'll see what i can do. Maybe an app might be better for this... but will also be possbile using module. Let me try it tonight.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neXus PRIME:
I can do the pie controls of gravity box easily as its source is open. Maybe PAC source is open too, but will be great if you can point me towards the java file which handles PACman pie. Then i can try.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neXus PRIME:
I was successful in implementing basic settings. Now I'm working on above as well as some other layout modifications. Hang tight.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] headache59:
tested your "tutorial.apk" ! I mistakenly thought it was dual "page" in quicksetting (as in gravity box) lol

Great innovation.:good:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neXus PRIME:
Actually the dual pane thing is very basic tweak... it could be useful if i change the dpi and layout.

anyways, my main aim is to make separate modules for

1. meizu mod status bar

2. various dpi navbars

3. various icons navbars

4. navbar/pie controls combo.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sshivampp:
Hide handlebar and adjust transparency

1.For hiding handlebar and adjusting transparency of notification bar like in the attachement

2.Full screen caller photo

3. Changing theme accent color overriding the accent color of theme applied

4. Meizu Statusbar as you said but for .201 FW (Latest)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neXus PRIME:
I got my system working back today and created one small one for myself. Anyone is welcome to use it if they want.

Module function:

1. Force Screen to remain off while plugging the charger in and out. (i was frustrated due to the constant screen on)

2. Allows all rotations in 3rd party apps. (Quickpic, UltimateReader, FX manager and many others). However the Xperia Home does not rotate.

3. Forces Navbar hieght to stock 48 dpi. (i was using another SystemUI meizu mod which made it 36 dpi so i wanted a toggle for that).

I will work on more modules for small little changes as requested here. Next target is Meizu Mod Module and then PIE controls/Expanded Desktop module.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nanostray:
What exactly does your dual pane module do?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neXus PRIME:
lol. it takes a few seconds to try.

Have you used PAC ROM? it makes the setings page dual pane.... Not much useful though.

See below, its similar to this.:

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neXus PRIME:
I need tester for my MEIZU mod xposed module.

See attachment.

Just go in xposed>modules>tick my Module, install/update framework...

you have Meizu Statusbar.

It only works for Xperia 4.3 ROMS. (.201 tested. 266 not tested but it should work.)

EDIT: Apparently there are some bugs still present.... :(

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbinder:
Sure. I just personally think that you'll give up, given those circumstances :( Just being realistic...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
The first step is to not boot the phone until you get a dump of your data partition. Booting to a custom recovery is okay--a full Android boot is not.

In recovery (using the ADB shell), umount data and get a dump of the data partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p37) using "dd". Since you can't write to the data partition while making its dump, you'll need to write to /system. Since /system isn't very big, you'll need to do the dump in pieces of about 350 MB each (depends on how much free space you have in /system).

The "dd" parameters you'll need are "bs" to speed things up, "skip" to tell it where to start the chunk, and "count" to determine how big the chunk is. Since /data is 25.6 GB, you'll need to do this 60-70 times, and after each chunk, use "adb pull" to copy the chunk to your computer. When you have all the chucks, reassemble them and make sure it's the same size as /dev/block/mmcblk0p37. Make sure it's a valid ext4 filesystem. Then you can start using data recovery tools.

So put your money where your mouth is and do it. :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekkk:
That sounds like something, first of all thanks for your input!

But how should i run this command without booting into android (I'm in clockwork-touch recovery, but doesnt seem to work)? This command works (when booted into android), i've tried it with 'dd', so i guess thats the correct way!

=> If i have to boot into android anyway to do this, i would also have an OTG plus USB-Stick (32GB), then i could do it in about 2 parts to save it directly to the usb-stick. Would that be the better aproach instead of writing it to the /system? because i don't know what action writes to the /sdcard

Just to clarify, i have to execute the following command one after the other(?) :

$ dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p37 bs=367001600 count=1 skip=0 of=/system/chunk1.img

adb pull /system/chunk1.img .

$ dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p37 bs=367001600 count=1 skip=1 of=/system/chunk2.img

adb pull /system/chunk2.img .

$ dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p37 bs=367001600 count=1 skip=2 of=/system/chunk3.img

adb pull /system/chunk3.img .

Do i have to make something special that i can reassemble them later or are there programms out there for that problem?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NxNW:
Um, every time you boot to android you are rewriting the very flash memory you are trying to recover.

The ratio of the amount of work required vs the chances of success is not a favorable one. Unless you are trying to recover video of 'baby's first steps' or a bitcoin private key, I would let this go..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekkk:
There were memories on it, and it would be a pity if they're all gone now

I'm not that type of guy to give up, I have the motivation and the time to do it. I will give it at least a try, I have nothing to loose, except time - but that doesnt matter because I wanna have these data's back

The only one problem I see now is that if I read the block step by step and save this, I don't know how I should reassemble all these files. Anyone has an idea? Reading a block and pull it out of the phone isnt the problem
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
That looks exactly right, except that normally people use "bs" as a smaller value and "count" and "skip" as a multiple of that value--I'm not sure whether it makes a difference in the real world. (I.e., instead of bs=4096 count=1 skip=1, people normally write bs=1024 count=4 skip=4.)

You are awesome. I was sure you'd give up.

And using a USB stick is a very good idea, but since you only have one USB port you can't type the commands on your computer using ADB. And yes, ADB should work fine when you're booted into recovery. If CWM doesn't work, you could try TWRP instead. TWRP will actually let you type the commands on the phone's screen (no need for ADB), so you can attach the USB stick.

If the chunks line up exactly (they will if you use dd like you are), on OSX or Linux you can use a program called "cat" to just dump them into one file: "cat a.txt b.txt" prints both files to the screen, so "cat part1 part2 part3 > combined" will join files into a new one (the new file is overwritten, so be careful). I would have to search online for how to join files on windows. If the chunks overlap, this forum post has a short python script that will detect a matching region at the end of one file and the start of the next and join them to a new file.

Note also that this doesn't guarantee your data will be recoverable. I wish you the best of luck, but flash storage is even trickier than hard drives, because due to wear leveling, it's possible the data you want isn't even being exposed as visible to the OS, with different NAND blocks shown instead.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekkk:
If that doesnt work on windows I have no problem to get a linux machine. What really causes concern, is that i allready saved multiple chunks with 350mb and also about 4GB and opened them in DiskInternals Linux Reader, but there was ever the same content, multiple folders and 2 files, but nearly everything about on 0kb, so it was nearly empty. Is that only because the files aren't dumped in one file?

What I actually don't get is that your writing 4*1024, but that are just 4096 Bytes, but before you talked about 350MB. I found out that for this I could also use bs=350M (M for megabytes), but I dont know if that really is a problem, couldn't explain to myself why, but you never know.

When I write directly to the USB, I'm also able to scale the size up to 4GB, because of the file-system-restriction. That would go faster. But I will try to firstly create the 60-70 chunks with 350MB and try to dump them into one file. Hope this will get me where I want to go.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
What I wrote was just an example--I'm not actually suggesting you get the dump in 4 KB chunks. ;)

As far as the chunk sizes, you just need to make sure they line up. If you start with a 350 MB chunk that was made with "bs=1M count=350", you can make the second chunk (a bigger one) with "bs=1M skip=350 count=4000". The problem is that since you used exact byte numbers for BS, it's more complicated to get them to line up correctly. For example, 1M is probably 1000000 bytes in this program, but it could also be 2^20 bytes. Basically, chuck size doesn't matter as long as they're properly lined up. Also, I wouldn't worry about the recovery tool failing until you have all or most of the chunks. However, I see that DiskInternals Linux Reader is a filesystem browser, not a recovery tool. You need a recovery tool, since the files are technically deleted (actually, the filesystem is wiped). You need a tool that looks for the data (all bytes), not what the filesystem officially says is present.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekkk:
I'm trying it now with the following:

$ dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p37 of=/system/chunk1.img bs=1048576 count=350 skip=350

One sentence i don't understand, what do you mean by "properly lined up"? Are they not properly lined up when i use the above 1048576 Bytes (exactly 1 MB)?

For the recovery tool i will have a look, thanks for the tipp, if i remember correct, there was stated that this also can recover
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
That's fine. But you were on to something with the USB stick idea--if I were you, I'd much rather make two dump chunks than 60.

What I mean by "lining up" is that this the following two chunks will not line up--they will have a gap between with missing data:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p37 of=/system/chunk1.img bs=1M count=350 skip=0

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p37 of=/system/chunk2.img bs=1048576 count=350 skip=350

These two chunks will have overlapping data:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p37 of=/system/chunk1.img bs=1048576 count=350 skip=0

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p37 of=/system/chunk2.img bs=1M count=350 skip=350

It's not an issue if you're starting from chunk 0 and using the same "bs", but if you wanted to keep the chunks you already made (with a very specific size), and continue making 4GB chunks after that, it might be tricky to get bs/count/skip right so the chunks don't overlap with your data and don't skip any, either. This is "lining up" properly.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekkk:
Thanks for explenation ;)

So i have my 77 .img chunk-files all on my pc. Btw, Windows does have "cat" also, but only in Windows Powershell, and it's soooo slow... and somehow the combined files are bigger :confused: I'll use it in linux, better approach i guess :D

After I have my final image, I mount that into my ubuntu machine and then try to recover, right? You said something about a "valid EXT4" filesystem, what do I have to pay attention for this? Unfortunatly I'm not a linux-Guru, but should be able to handle it with some help. I think first I try the recover tool from ubuntu that is built-in, because I havn't searched for an alternative. I don't think that i need a special one explicit for Android-files?

Many thanks that you take time and try to help me :good: ;) , I don't think I'm wide away from my goal now. I hope that I'm a lucky guy and I can restore, at least, some files.

[MENTION=4428994]fenstre[/MENTION], couldn't he have mounted a 64GB OTG Stick and dd the entire partition there in one go?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekkk:
Thanks that with windows-command promt worked without any problem

Because of the OTG Stick, the filesystem has a restriction of 4GB files, so I can't dd the entire partition in one go. And I also have the partition now in one .img file. But now I'm really stucked at how to recover this, with something from Windows or Linux? Tried DMDE, it showed me the partition but I couldn't really find some old files :confused:

Someone know's whats possible and which programms do you suggest? I have a EXT4 .IMG file with about 27GB and I wanna restore wiped files.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
Yep, I'm not so smart. Even a 32 GB stick is big enough. He would still need to reformat the stick as EXT3/4 to get around the 4GB size limit, then he'd have to jump through hoops to read the data on his computer.

I've never used one--I just searched for "ext4 undelete". I suspect that Linux will have more options than Windows. This page also lists several utilities you can try:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/File_Recovery

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekkk:
Unfortunatly at the moment not very well. Allready tried undelete and some other programms, but not really a success. It could restore some files, but I don't even know if that are just files with error or really some "old" files

Personally, I am about to give my unlimited data line on verizon to a family member. I have been using between 100-200 gigs per month with them for years now.

And seriously, if anyone says "BLAH BLAH, OMGZOR you're why we have data caps now", I might just flip out.

Edit: I got my note 3 on sprint about 3 weeks ago. First smart phone on sprint, always been with verizon. Out of curiosity I checked my data usage and it was around 13-14 gigs... I was a bit surprised how high it was.
