Good question op.

So does it backup all apps data or only those that have been coded to take advantage of Google's app data backup options for instance.

I may have to do a nandroid and reset to see what happens.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahdibassam:
For anyone who is interested.

I just installed viper and restored my phone from the HTC Backup .

It restored settings, messages , contacts , home screens, folders, and also downloaded apps . However my app data were all gone . I had to set up every app from scratch again .

Does anyone have any good resources for apps outside of the app store? With limited apps for the Gear 2 I figured there must be some beta sites somewhere?

I, to, would love to see a resource to let us download apps and install them on our Gear 2 Neo.

Would be so much easier if I had Samsung Apps, but I can't, since I have a Motorola Droid Razr M.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] McGuigew:
The only resource for apps that I know of is the Tizenmod thread here :

http://xdaforums.com/gear-2-neo/themes-apps/request-apps-tizenmod-t2857116

But if you want to install these apps, you will need to have TizenMod installed first, and that's here :

Check out this thread for probably a better solution than mine. He hacked it to allow BOTH version installed side by side.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2566159

If you are like me and many others you prefer the old version of Google Maps.

I've tried very hard to like the new version. But it just ain't happening. And my wife had fit when I accidently updated hers.

As some of you know it's not hard to uninstall the new version (under settings Apps) and install the old version.

Problem is it keeps wanting to update to the new version.

And so you have to shut off automatic updating.

And if you get a bunch of updates you want to hit Update All and then you have to quickly go in an cancel Google Maps update.

It's a pain.

So I "fixed it".

I modified the version of the old Google Maps to be two minor versions higher than the latest (7.7.0). That is, I set it to 7.9.0

So now it won't update until 8.0.0 or 7.10.0 is released :) Maybe by then they will fix it.

That is the only change.

The biggest beef I have with the new version is no Real Time Traffic.

You have to cancel the route and look at traffic in preview mode only.

The old version gave you constant status (with RED, Green or Yellow Dot next to your ETA) and you could switch to Overview to see traffic any time during route.

It was also much easier to seek alternate routes while routing. Again you can only decide alternate routes ONLY BEFORE you start Nav with the new version.

It's just awful compared to the old version.

This will install fine over the old version without losing Data. At least it did on my wifes phone :)

If any dev's want to use this feel free to do so.

To get rid of it. Just simply uninstall it.

This will probably work on Stock ROMs with the new version installed in System as well.

Doesn't the ETA/Distance change color during the route instead of the colored dots?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mswlogo:
Are you saying on the new version the ETA/Distance changes color itself. I had not noticed that. You still can't see where it is though, without canceling the route.

I keep thinking it's all hidden in there but I can't a way to us it like I used the old version.

I found a link to install TWRP recovery onto my phone but first I have to unlock my bootloader. I bricked 2 identical phones in the past using EZ Unlock to unlock the bootloader. Both times as soon as I rebooted my phone...they never worked again. My question is how do I safely unlock my bootloader without this happening again? I also want to know once my bootloader is unlocked, and TWRP recovery is safely on my phone, will I then be able to freely install custom roms? Or will I still need to install safestrap and safestrap compatible roms or touchwiz roms only?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] landshark68:
If you are on 4.3 you cannot flash TWRP or unlock your bootloader. It is saferoot, safestrap, and safestrap compatible 4.3 TW ROMs only for you.

There is no custom recovery that us compatible with either the VRUCML1 or VRUCNC1 TouchWiz OTAs. Safestrap is the closest you will get to a "custom recovery" from TW 4.3+.

What are some custom 4.3 touchwiz roms for NC1?

[GUIDE][ML1/NC1] TW 4.3 Sticky Roll-Up Thread (5-24-14) - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2639337

Here is a lit of rome or 4.3 touchwiz roms

Custom Roms

AllianceRom

Wicked Sensations Rom

MOAR

CleanROM 8.2 Core Edition

Samstock

Slapnuts

I535 Mostly Stock

Stock Rooted ML1 Rom

Yet when you go into the rom it self they all are on the old ML1 rom none say anything about NC1

Question is .. if i use safestrap on my locked boot loader with NC1 since i will be creating a new rom slot will i be able to flash the ML1 roms via safestrap or am i totally hosed or are there roms out there for 4.3 touchwiz for NC1 ?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] landshark68:
There are no 4.3 Touchwiz ROMs for NC1. If you want to have fully functioning ROMs (meaning have working WiFi) through safestrap you have to ODIN flash back to ML1, then root, load safestrap, and flash an ML1 based 4.3 TW ROM, then the kernel module from the safestrap thread. Another user in these forums was talking about posting an NC1 kernel module, but I haven't seen any results on that. If you take the OTA upgrade or ODIN flash up to NE1 4.4.2, safestrap is not yet available for that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcbjoe:

So if I'm on NC1 i have to go back to ML1 .. will i be able to if my boot loader is locked and looks like this

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbrown1135:
Hi guys,

I recently rooted my phone and switched over to CM 10.1 for a little bit. I wanted to switch back to my rooted TouchWiz, but when I tried to restore it from my CWM restore something appears to have gone wrong. The phone will start up and I can get past the Samsung splash screen, but then it just sits on the AT&T globe screen indefinitely. Anyone have any ideas on what has happened or how to fix it? Thanks in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] michaelatrix:
Try flashing a touch wiz rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbrown1135:
I ended up using a rooted TouchWiz rom and reloaded it using Odin. It was still booting and getting stuck on the AT&T splash screen so I booted into recovery mode and chose to factory reset/wipe data. After that it booted just fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Good you figured it out on your own. Cuz that's what I was going to tell you to do.

Or just re flash the Rom again if it get stuck at the Samsung logo. In your case factory reset usually fixes most minor issues flashing Roms...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ghl10000:
Hi,

I purchased the latest version of AntonTomov's PocketMechanic via Handango and received the registration key immediately after finished purchase procedure.

Installation on my TyTN seemed to work out first (the program accepted the key with a message box and a sound).

But only moments later a message box popped up, telling me I use a pirated version and should turn to the manufacturer, which I did (also mailed Handango).

Meanwhile tried to install PM several times (always removing all traces from both PC and TyTn incl. Registry and rebooted) - to no avail.

Meanwhile received a new serial, but same story again: first accepted and immediately afterwards aborted with Piracy message.

A new complaint mail is on ist way.

Meanwhile I'm asking here if anybody had similar problems in getting the Pocket Mechanics to work on a TyTN.

Appreciating feedback and will let te community know how it worked out for me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jeezus:
I would not use or buy Tomov's products out of principal.

Found a lot of threads about earlier version doing a hard reset without asking, when inputted a "pirated" serial. So be glad it only shows a box nowdays. ;)

While software piracy is not a good thing, at least for people developing propietary software. Tomov has used a bit too drastic measures to fight

back.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ghl10000:
This does not make me too comfortable :-(

I also read a few note about that on the net and a reply by Tomov, complaining that this is not true and only a campaign to cut him off his revenues.

Well, I do not know what to believe, however this uncertainty is also not too comfortable...

Well the Pocket Mechanic way of uses some hardware dependent functions and - if you dare to take use of such - you have to either be very careful and also prepared that they might not work on untested and after all very new (such as the TyTN) devices.

I was prepared for all of that but not that I receive a piracy mail (which somewhat alsmost accuses you of being a software pirate and telling you to mail to piracy@antontomov.com) when I purchased the software (which I can also prove).

Maybe he uses some hardware related mechanism to check eligibility of the serial and as he hasn't tested yet the TyTN (which he admits) this software won't allow being registered at all. I do not know.

But isn't such a meachanism pure over-kill ?

Actually something like that must be going on as I receive this pop up also after a new install and having purged all remnants from the PC, the PDA and the registry.

If I'd be trying out serials just at random, would anyone think that I'll millions of times do that complete procedure just to find any working key at the end of my life maybe ???

(And if I'd be a professional hacker I'd disassemble the code and be able to work around even these barriers.)

So, applying over-kill measures like that only brings problems to decent users, risking to run into problems when using special configurations or ne devices.

+++

Apart from that I must say that Tomov's applications seem well coded and also graphically very nice (one wonders how graphically nice application you can program for PDAs; shame upon Microsoft for their pre-installed poor applications !!!).

Also I see no real alternatives for some functionality he provided within one software, that's why I purchased the PM.

Finally again my question:

Has anyone encountered the same problems with the PM on a HTC TyTN ?

(btw: Thanks "jeezus" for your feedback.)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jeezus:
Might I inquire which funktionality you need?

Maybe we can find an alternative solution. :)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devil0per:
I just got a Netgear PTV 3000 dongle and when I use it with my nexus 5 the internet stops working, rendering the thing pretty useless.

The odd thing is that the phone is showing that wi-fi is on and connected when Miracast is on.

When I switch Miracast on, the Internet immediately stops working, then even if I switch Miracast off it won't work unless I disconnect from the wi-fi connection and connect again. Also if I disconnect from wi-fi when Miracast is on, the Miracast connection will be dropped, I thought Miracast didn't use local wi-fi connection ?

Any ideas why this is happening. I herd that sony xperia Z for instance can't use wi-fi when Miracast is on, but surely this is not the case with Nexus 5 ? Perhaps my TP-Link router somehow conflicts with Miracast ?

thanks...

I can't reproduce your described experience using the same Netgear receiver (but different router). I am stock kernel and ROM (but rooted).

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Doing that way is safer ;)

What you need is baseband, kernel, elabel, etc so one of the stripted FTFs from here should be fine http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2712899 just use the one for your model.

After flashing the FTF you will need to get recovery again, so either DooMKernel or jackie099's

If you do flash a stripped FTF the phone will be in an unbootable state untill you get a Sony system on to it (ie monx or Sony)

---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

The other way of cause is to flash monx then the FTF, that will mean less farting about. Then if you feel the need you can flash DooMKernel at a later date
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] seltoon:
After flashing the stripped FTF, how do I flash monx? via recovery? since it's a .zip file

I also tried flashing monx .zip on top of the GPe but that didn't work out and failed

You should be able to flash monx from the GPe rom, then flash the stripped FTF on top from flashtool.
