Great ROM

I'm been trying out new ROMs after having been on Wicked (loved it also) for a long time. This one is pretty nice. I had tried some KitKat ones but actually prefer the 4.3 ones on the S III over the 4.4. Only issue I had is that MMS messages would not work over WIFI. If I turned WIFI off, they go through, otherwise they would try for 5-10 minutes then fail. Ended up grabbing the SecMms.apk from the S3Rx 3.0 and replacing the one included in this ROM. Only tried one MMS message so far, but it went through right away over WIFI. I will have to play around a little more with it over the next day but appears to be all working now. Only thing I miss is the WIFI calling but I knew that wasn't working in the ROM from the notes before installing it. So far that is the only improvement I can see. Great job devs!

What should i do guys??!

[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:

Nice that you were able to so successfully do all the things that you did.

Custom ROM's won't work unless the Amaze is first updated from official GB to official ICS.

It provides a radio, among other things.

Try it out and see if you like it, with a test phrase like, "how to cook a rom."

... before an hard reset ?

:lol:

Well, my Qtek S200 with tonz of apps installed (mostly on the 4GB SD card) became quite slow. Mostly at boot, worst than before.

I periodically back it up by Sprite Backup, but now I would perform an hard reset to clean up and start again from skratch. And reinstall appz with some criteria :wink:

So, I'm here to ask a checklist for things to backup and how.

For example,

- export registry keys for the personal identification (how to export?)

- startup apps

- ...

Thanks for any hint
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Val3r10:
Anybody ? :(

P.S.: where could I find a ROM upgrade for the Italian QTEK S200 ?

As I'm planning to hard reset... :p

Thanks
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Krinkiespijer:
...backup verything. I use SQB Backup for backup (ppc files only and not SDcard): pim contacts, emails, system and my document. These you can restore customized.

I backup everytime after i installed some goods.

With PHM register editor i create also backups, only register though...

...sd card backups i won't create because i save the cabs on the pc...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Val3r10:
Thanks for your answer.

I always backup everything with Sprite Backup 5.1 (WM5), but when it restores data, everything come back to my actual status.

How could I save ONLY the user profile (inside the registry, I guess) and the most important configs ?

I'll restore (reinstall) the app programs later

P.S.: all programs are installed on my SD card. I noticed most of them, even moved across directories, keep working. This case, should I re-install them, or could I use them as is, simply linking the executable in the storage card directory ?

Thanks again
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Krinkiespijer:
...i'm sorry to say but you had to create a good working backup earlier. A register is filled with thousends of keys and you can't find a sort of userprofile.

If you've got an up-to-date backup then you can start from zero: you've got already everything by hand.

Perfom hard reset and create backup with minimun install like pim contacts, emails and internet settings. Then install next thing etc. If you need something immediately you can restore backup from before hard reset.

Every program with is installed on SD card won't be executeted before you accept it (that means that shareware could be used unendlessly instead of b.e. 5 times) but you don't have to install them again. So after reset they are immeditate accessable. Best to have made a copy of startpage\programs so you can copy them after hardreset back so you don't have to seek through all the folders on SDcard.

Only all the programs installed on the ppc you've got to install after hard reset again

You can also schedule backups, i.e. daily, which create a backup with only the changes compare to last one. I've got fullbackups of ±12Mb and incrementel of ±8Mb.

So I perform always fullbackups which i delete weekly...

Hello everyone!

First time poster so hopefully I'm not breaking any rules!

I have a Verizon LG G2 and I have the Malladus ROM on it.

Has anyone experienced this issue before?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armadiljo:
Lately, I have a lot of troubles playing video on Samsung S3 mini (with unofficial CM11)

Main program to play video's: MX Player / MX Player Pro

Main problem:

(1) S/W decoder -> video and sound aren't synchronized. Sound is perfect, but video goes slightly too fast.

(2) H/W+ decoder -> MX player crash when starting player

(3) standard setting (right after reset settings; it should be H/W decoding) -> video crash after a few seconds of playing, but not with every video.

(1) I'm not too tech savy. But I do get that the problem with S/W decoding could be a wrong setting, or a "user mistake". At least, that's my interpretation from this line out of my logs. "04-29 17:07:50.438 W/AudioTrack( 2136): AUDIO_OUTPUT_FLAG_FAST denied by client due to mismatching sample rate (48000 vs 44100)"

(2) But I can't find any reason why H/W+ isn't working. I already tried different programs to playback video. They crash too. Plex gives me problems with certain video's, but I guess that problem is not related with this so I'll try to sort out that problem myself. Logs from MX player and Logcat are in attachment.

I would like to get any advise to sort out this problem.

I have rooted Verizon G2 running with custom recovery. The other way, I accidentally updated it through OTA and it kept going into recovery loop.

I fixed that issue with help from this forum and reverted back to stock (4.4.2) using KDZ method. However, the OTA notification keep coming back up.

My question here is if I hard reset my phone, would it go back to the original factory setting? I just want to reset the whole thing and go back to the original factory setting and then update it through OTA. What is the best way to do this?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghettocruiser:
Hey all! I have a pretty advanced question, and this might not be the best place, but I wasnt sure where else to plop it.

I have a project going on with my Nexus 7, and I need to interface with the OTG ID pin. Soldering a wire to the micro USB connector/ribbon is kind of dicey. I have found solder points to just about everything else I need, but I cant find a place to interface with that ID pin on the usb.

I know it goes through the main ribbon cable, up near the battery connection, but Ive probed just about everywhere I can think of, and cant seem to find a connection. Im GUESSING it actually winds up at a control chip somewhere. But almost every other component seems to have a solder point somewhere...

Any ideas??

Thanks!

Justin

EDIT: I wanted to be clear. I did search and read through the threads. Including the older one that is bumped on the first page. I get that the ID pin talks to a "chip" in order to tell it its in OTG mode. Im simply looking for a spot where I can attach a wire, that would be on the same trace as the pin in the micro usb port. I was able to solder onto the usb pins, but its sketchy, and the speakers make it tight. Im not really doing anything complicated, I just need to hit that ID pin circuit somewhere.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mike freegan:
Right, time for another hard-reset has arise, so I though I may as well get these issues clarified. I haven't had any luck searching the forum for them, but I know there's defo been threads on them before:

1. What app can I use to make my wizard/mini sd card come up as a mass storage device instead of using activesync when I dock? I tried softick but it doesn't work.

2. What's the Registry mod to make media player go to storage card library as default?

3. How do I set up my GPRS/MMS stuff? I managed it on the old ROM, but the latest 02 rom seems to delete my connection settings for fun. Is there a .cab installer I can use?

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blcistheking:
I have a couple of noob questions that I hope someone would be willing to answer to help me decide to switch from a Nexus 5 to a Z1.

I'm currently using Slimkat on the N5 and absolutely love it. Everything works as expected and I'm able to customize it to fit all my requirements but the battery life leaves much to be desired, which is why I would like to switch to the Z1 since it has a bigger battery and a microSD card slot.

How is the battery life using build 4 of Slimkat on a Z1?

Would getting say 6 hours of screen on time doing web browsing using firefox and watching videos store locally on the phone as well as from youtube be possible?

Also, I've read some parts of this thread saying that the camera has some issues. I'm not a photographer and don't take a lot of pictures other than when I'm selling something, is the camera on this stable enough for that purpose?

Can the led flash still be controlled by a torch toggle?

And can the camera button be reconfigured for another use, such as waking the device?

I deeply appreciate any responses I might get because I would hate to spend more money on a Z1 just to get a device that doesn't fit my needs, I already compromised with the N5 (overlooked the subpar battery life and lack of storage space for development support, roms & kernels) and now regret it and I don't want to make the same mistake twice.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronwi2:
I was thinking of encrypting the phone using the "encrypt phone" option under security.

Does this create any problems with custom recoveries, rooting, updating, etc.? I'm particularly concerned that if the phone bricks or partially bricks this might make it more difficult to bring the phone back to life.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Trying to wipe or flash things in recovery will fail.

I'm no expert, but I found this out the hard way. Bought a used n5....immediately went to unlock boot loader and root....and nearly bricked trying to flash stock on it. Of course it was cause the phone was encrypted... But I didn't know, and have never done it...so I had no idea what was happening.

Luckily I recovered the phone. Was freaking cause the wife would have killed me. Lol

Might want to research it more tho....as I said, this is just my only experience with it. I know nothing else about it. ;)

---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------

And I'll add this....this is just my opinion.

Trying to protect your phone from thieves is kinda pointless. If they have any trouble with the phone they just stole, I'd imagine they would wipe it anyway....or if they don't know anything about that stuff.....smash it and leave it in a ditch.

And as far as sensitive data on a phone....I think its a bad idea, anything can happen and you'll lose it all. Back it up somewhere off phone. And really, what's so important that its worth the trouble trying to hide data....unless you're a secret agent maybe. Lol

But again, just my opinion. To each their own I say. :)

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bstripp:
I am sure this is a stupid question, but I've looked and not found a definitive answer so I'll try here.

I have a LG G2 (AT&T) which I have rooted/clockwork/CM11. I did most of it when I had a failed OTA send me into a bootloop. (I had rooted the stock and removed some bloat which it didn't care for). I love CM11 however, there are some issues with the M5 build that I think are solved in the nightlies.

My questions are as follows:

(1) If I start flashing nightlies am I going to loose everything on my phone?

(1a) If so? How do people handle nightly flashes and always having a phone that needs setup?

(1b) If not, how do I flash the CM rom? I assume through recovery like I did before.

(2) Is there an easier way to backup and restore my setup to my phone?

(2a) I have titanium backup, and I have backed up all system and apps. However, I am not sure if restoring that will mess things up after flashing.

So basically, I'm looking to find out how people use the nightly builds and still have a mostly functioning phone on a day to day basis?

Thank you!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jayriff:
Before flashing a nightly for the first time:

You will need to wipe cache, dalvik cache, and data (user data--not internal storage).

Updating to the newest nightly:

You will only need to wipe cache and dalvik before flashing the new nightly. You will not lose your setup or apps. CM has its own OTA app that will automatically install new nightlies via your custom recovery (CWM or TWRP)

Thanks! I'm new to CM, and the thought of wiping my phone every evening was kind of scary.

Yeah once you're on nightlies, it's not a big deal. But after your FIRST flash of the nightlie, also be sure to flash the correct GApps package, which includes apps like the Google Play Store.

Hlo Everyone,

I Am a Newbie To Custom Android Roms on Galaxy S Advance .I am on Stock JB with Cocore Kernel And Twrp . I Want To ask if i make a nandroid backup of stock android and try to install other custom rom ,can i revert back to stock jb via backup in case problem arises ...

I had tried this on a different phone but at that time it said md5 sum mismatch .

So Simply I am asking u can i revert back to stock jb via twrp recovery ...

Waiting for reply From GS Advance users ...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
That mismatch happen because of bad backup I think. You can if you are on other stock based or on CM10.1. For CM10.2 and CM11 ROMs you must repartiton preload partition to be able to do that. HOW.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3cr0w:
It is possible.

that md5 sum mismatch you had on different phone was most probably related to corrupted backup file - not related with current ROM installed as long as backup is not cross recovery (CWM / TWRP).

I have lost one backup same way due to corrupted files.

To be sure that it will work you can try to restore backup just after it was created - if it will work, then it should work later on.

if you will be trying CM11 revert procedure is a bit more tricky (as /preload partition is used differently than in stock):

it might need odin flash of stock, install CoCore, restore backup

EDIT ... or faster way presented by shut_down ;]

I had tried this on galaxy fit ,but there also i got same problem and i had to use odin to get stock back ... i don't want to go over the same pls help me.my phone is hanging a lot and i cant stay on stock so pls help me :(:(
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3cr0w:
To be sure it is not corrupted backup file you can perform restore backup just after it was created.

If it is corrupted due to some reason it will not work from the beginning.

If it go smooth you are sure that you got correct backup - just store it some place safe (not on crappy SD that might go corrupt over time or sth ...)

At that point it is safe to assume it will work as system restore point from any custom ROM back to state of when it was made (official JB with cocore and all your apps / contacts / messages / etc already in place) - with exception of CM10.2 and CM11 ROMS (and those that are based on them) as explained already - those ROMs would need one extra step before reverting (but it is still possible, just not as straight forward as on other ROMs)
