What comes first to my mind is flashing the dualboot/fastboot bootloader and using fastboot to pull the data partition. However I'm not really sure if this will work as it's so long since I last used fastboot.

Question. So your next vacation, what are you going with, sync Dropbox or battery life?

Just had to do that.

On a serious note, I hope you are able to retrieve your vacation photos.

Hey Kickoff,

Is /dev/block/mmcblk0 the entire internal memory or just the user data partition?

Sorry I am not that familiar with partition blocks. Can you provide more details?

I am running a rooted Malladaus 2.0 4.4.2 Kitkat ROM BTW.

Much appreciated bro :good:

Hey Kickoff, Sorry for not getting back to u immediately. After a few attempts I was able to make partition images. I tried mmcblk0p38 (entire image), mmcblk0p34 (user data) but none of them contained the DCIM photos. I was able to recover many whatsapp images and mp3 files etc but I couldnt find the DCIM pictures. Any idea which partition contains the DCIM photos?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kickoff:
Why not to try the software I linked? It worked well for me.

Have you installed parted, changed the permission and ran the following commands?

adb shell
su
cd /system
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

This is is the way how you did identify the partitions? Your number seem to be totally different. Try this as well.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidmaniac123:
Thanks Kickoff.

I used the find command:

find /dev/block/platform/ -name 'mmc*' -exec fdisk -l {} \;

to identify the partitions. According to this command, mmcblk0p38 had the user data. But when I tried to recover from p38, I am able to recover only the thumbnail sized pics of the ones i lost. Any comments?

Output from the above command:

root@g2:/ # find /dev/block/platform/ -name 'mmcblk0p3*' -exec fdisk -l {} \;

[General Topics] WeandDroid:
This is a guide to help you decide between different OEMs if you are looking to buy a new phone. This will lay out the Pros and Cons of different manufactures but the end decision will depend upon your priorities and what you’re looking forward in your next smartphone.

1)Camera

Camera can be a pretty big deal for some people. The best camera phone is Nokia lumia 1020.

The next one is a tie between the 6 month old iPhone 5s and the Galaxy S5. S5 has a better resolution and some extra software features but iPhone 5s is better in low light. Next will be

Xperia Z2 which is a pretty good camera.

Htc One(M8) is a good camera with a nice software but with only 4M, picture are not that good however hard you may try. The second camera provides a good U-focus feature but that is available in S5 too with the camera software.

Nexus 5 is a camera between Galaxy S5/iPhone 5s and the One M8 but if you just get it right you can click nice pictures through it. And with the new camera app by Google, it has only got better. Even bringing the after focus effect like Galaxy S5 and HTC One.

2)Build Quality-

Galaxy S5 is IP 67 rated and the Xperia Z2 is IP 55/58

rated.

Order goes as

1- HTC One M8

2- iPhone 5s

3- Lumia 1020

4-Xperia Z2

5- Galaxy S5

6-Nexus 5

3)Software Updates-

If you want latest version of the OS you are on ,as soon as it is release, don’t buy SAMSUNG!

iPhone would be at the top. Only because it releases updates to devices that are 3 years old.

Next will be Nexus or any other Google play device. If you are in that 18th month period, you will get the update.

If you have a high end Nokia, you are bound to get the software updates.

HTC and Sony also try hard to provide updates on time.

Samsung. Don’t expect major updates on time. If you have bought a just released phone you will get the latest update. Ex- SIII. It got updated to 4.1.2 pretty fast. After that, 4.2.2 was left after a leak came out but finally 4.3 was released which is buggy as hell and now they say its 2 years old so we can’t release 4.4.

4)Performance-

The iPhone 5s and Nexus 5/Google play devices are the best in performance.

Android runs best when its not modified to any level.

If want a skin Android then HTC would be the way to go. The software on the One M8 has been praised by all. Xperia Z2 will be next in line in terms of modified skin.

Here again, I wouldn’t recommend Samsung at all. Touchwiz may look colourful but that is all. Even on the great hardware it has, it stutters at times which you wouldn’t expect at any level, which becomes very frustrating.

Nokia lumia isn't bad at all. But the lack of apps is still a buzz killer.

If you want me to add any phone or other category please mention in the comments and your views on what I have said are always welcome.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tillward:
This looks awesome. Which kernel should I flash if I want to try it out? The one mentioned in your first post leads to a dead link.

Do the camera, and camera apps work ok?

Is it based on CM11, and can we use CM11 themes?

ION kernels seem to have quite a few issues on the builds i've tried so far. Vanir, Carbon and PAC. How does this one hold up on the stability side of things?

What's the system free space after installing and flashing the smaller gapps linked?

ART is listed as being supported, but so far, switching to ART on my satsuma results in severely limited space issues. I presume that's still the case here.

Pardon all the questions. I did try the linked FAQ, but it didn't seem to have extended install instructions as mentioned.

Thanks very much for the great effort.

Hi All,

Am looking for a ROM for my Galaxy Note 3 (N9005) that is similar to the Google play edition operating systems.

What I mean to say is, a ROM that is built off the aosp and doesn't have any extra random things that the developers have added thinking they are doing the world a favour. I am just looking for the bare-bones android functionality, compatible with the note 3.

Am interested in all suggestions,

So now having had a chance to take a trip in my truck I was so pleased to see how much better 4.2.2 is with my stereo.

Here is a list of what now works that didn't with 4.3

1. BT Metadata now pushes title and track etc.. from my music apps to my trucks touchscreen

2. Stereo was 100% instead of 75% in announcing an incoming text and reading to me if I choose to on touchscreen

3. I can finally!!!! Hit reply on stereo from text and then speak and have it send without having to touch my phone or even choose template replies if i don't want to have it dictate

So glad to have this all working and hope others see these advantages as well

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] PhoenixAG:
Hi,

I saw this

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140013499121

and ordered one because it was really cheap. Well after that, I have been a bit worried as immediately afterwards, I read about faulty batteries which explode cell phones, etc :D

So I just wanted to know whether anyone had bought this battery off ebay and how it was working for them. It seems like an amazing deal, 1800mah over the stock 1200. But it also looks like a home made job so I was just wondering on the quality.

Is anyone using this or does anyone have any idea about it?

Any replies or information would be tremendously helpful.

Thank you. :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Noony:
I'm surprised if they can cram 1800mah into this small battery (at that price). But you never know...

I think worst case is that it won't quite be 18000mah. Faulty batteries often get far too hot before actually exploding and more often that not they would burn out rather than explode (in my limited experience).

I have 2 x 1500mah batteries that I bought in the UK (from Expansys @£19.99 each). Very happy with them.

Anyway let us know how you get on with them...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] krale:
I have the above mentioned 1800 mah battery, and so far (two months) no problems with it. It does get hot just before it expires out of energy, but not so hot to explode (I think it was similar with the original battery)...

Not too thrilled about the performance though, although it does give more then the original.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] PhoenixAG:
Oh ok...well I have it in my hand right now and was just waiting for some reassurance before proceeding to let it charge overnight. I guess it shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks for the replies guys :)

krale: What kind of performance are you getting? I remember lurking and reading your previous posts on it...you said it goes "on and on and on" :) Has that changed now?

I'll be happy even if it gives me 10% more usage above the normal battery.

I really do appreciate such quick replies :) Thank you...I'll sleep a little better tonight, charging my phone...hehe :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] krale:
On the original charge, I did get amazing performance from this battery. However, as soon as the second charge, the battery was at about 35-40% above the original battery performance, which i guess is just below what should be expected, as the stated increase is 50%.

In any case, I would not go back to the original battery.

Cheers.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] PhoenixAG:
Thats excellent. Thank you so much for your reply :)

I installed it and my phone is charging right now. I have also noticed that it fits "just right" in my phone and I had a little creaking issue of the back cover with the original battery, which has been solved now (I have no clue how).

It's charging...I'm going to let it for another 10 hours then I think it should be ready for use :)

I think 1800mah is a tremendous improvement over the paltry 1200 which comes along with the device. It's quite surprising to see such few after market accessories for the prophet, considering its quite a popular device.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Noony:
I'm getting 20-30% more time with the 1500mah battery, so it sounds about right that you get up to 40% with the 1800mah. I use mine for SatNav on a motorbike (among other things) it's great to have such a small unit with a good battery life. I had an M5000 (Universal) before!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] PhoenixAG:
Well after charging it last night, I've been using it normally today.

Usualy, by this time my phone is around 65% or something.

But its still at 83% so I am quite happy :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] JamesManios:
Can you post pictures of it? On the ebay site they talk about removing "the front side plastic cover' ? So does it have a cover?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] PhoenixAG:
It looks the same as the normal battery, except it has 1800mah written on it instead. It's not made by Dynapack. I'll see if I can post some pictures of it.

Basically, the normal battery is encased in plastic. The white plastic is the cover and the battery is housed in it.

What these guys have done is remove the plastic of one side (the front) and put a thin sheet plastic cover instead. This gives them more room to put a higher capacity (and therefore, larger) battery inside. You see, a higher capacity battery will be larger than the original, that is why they need to remove the thick white plastic and put a thin sheet instead.

In looks and operation, it feels just like the normal battery. But you can see what they have done if you look closely.

I'll post pictures of it if you still want them.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] JamesManios:
I get it what you mean. I won't mind a picture anyways though :-) but its no big deal. I have the 1500mHA battery now, and am considering this, (more is always better)....

Can anyone comment on the 1500's performance in comparision to this?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] krale:
It is made by Dynapack, at least that's what mine says.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] PhoenixAG:
I'll need to get hold of a digi cam to get a pic...give me a few days :)

On the ebay listing, it states in the information:

** This is a replacement battery, this is not design and manufacture by Dynapack **

So while it says Dynapack on the front (mine does too), they have done the job themselves.

I am happy with the performance. It lasts me well on a busy day..

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] PhoenixAG:
Hi..

As of now, the battery is holding up even better. Earlier, it started off well but lately, I have noticed a major improvement in battery life even when I have played a lot of games/made calls during the day.

I regularly seem to be at a healthy 70-75% rather than the 50-55% it would have resulted in with similar activity on the old battery.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] nvgear:
have you ever tried running it down, as in 5% or completely drained, cause my experience with these batteries was, it would jumps from 30% remaining to 0% in a few minutes, so everything seems normal until around 30%.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] PhoenixAG:
Nope I haven't tried running it down.

Tomorrow, being a Sunday, is a good day for me to try that.

Let's see...I won't charge it tonight and check how it behaves tomorrow, when it should hopefully run out...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] PhoenixAG:
Well it didn't exhibit any sort of behaviour like that.

It went down quite gracefully and slowly. After 48 hours of standby, lots of calls, messaging, gaming and wifi, it was left at 24% before I finally decided to charge it at night for the next day.

I think its excellent.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] JamesManios:
I already have the 1500mAh battery, but decided to buy this 1800mAh battery from reading this article, but unfortunately my results have not been so good.

I'm wondering if anyone has noticed this problem, (and from some of the stories maybe you have?)

My battery seems to fluctuate about 20% +/-. For example, after a full charge and listening to MP3s on the train for 30 minutes the battery would show 82% on the 1200mAh, 86% on the 1500mAh, but the 1800mAh would show anything from 96% to 65%. If I leave it on still, (not charging) typically the battery will start going UP about 1-2% but if I reset, it usually would go to the higher number like 96%, but sometimes go lower, like 50%

One time, while it was on for a 10 minute period it when from 82% to 56% to 73% this was on a 2 minute time out, and me just turning it back on….

Initially I thought maybe it was a dud but a friend of mine also bought one, (using it in a Prophet, I have a Jam) and is getting the same result, though his does not swing as often, he usually will get about a 20% variation, but usually a reset will calm it down. Unfortunately for me the reset trick doesn’t seem to be working anymore…

Anyone else getting results like this? Anything I should try? I’ve been thinking of hard-resetting and running clean to see if the problem is consistent, but that’s a real hassle if other people are seeing similar results. I’m overclocking, anyone else?

Strangely the 1500 is very reliable and consistent.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] dnts:
After having the pleasure of opening both...

The original batteries have an accurate current measuring device (DS2762AR) which is capable of reporting true capacity. The aftermarket batteries have a microcontroller (PIC12F675) that emulates the operation of the measurement device but with a much lower accuracy.
