No, didn't hurt. It boots, it flashes, it backs up and restores. Aroma installer looks like a bad tv screen, the same thing on latest PhilZ recovery and usb option still doesn't connect as on any other recovery.

As I didn't much more, time will show what else works or not. I like the idea of swiping, also scrolling up and down is a little pain until you foind out how it works.

Guys you can flash that and use it without nuking your devices. Some more feedback would be welcome. You shouldn't miss the rainbow mode... :laugh:

ANDROID_SECURE.IMG NOT FOUND.. SKIPPING RESTORE....

SADLY NO JOY WITH A SUCCESSFUL RESTORE THUS FAR WITH MY DEVICE. (S-Off HTC One M8 Int. Version)
[One (M8) Android Development] rootrider:
Android_secure.img? Did you back up that particular directory? If it restores boot.img, system and data that should be enough to restore your device completely.

Android_secure is being skipped here as well, after these three particular backups have been restored. So it's neither important, nor needed!

For backups I'm using online nandroid backup. Very comfortable as you don't need to boot into recovery to do a nandroid backup and it can be customized the hell out of it. No need for any settings in recovery (missing here anyways) so. Give Nandroid Manager a go as well on your device if you need single files being restored.

Ey and I LIKE SWIPING with this recovery. It's the future... Touch was yesterday.

I'll keep it on my device and walk through the functions the next days.

At&t M8 unlocked, S-off, CID-111111.

Tried to backup to sdcard1 and it showed in your recovery before I wiped and restored an older backup.

Wipe/factory reset worked as it should.

Restored older CWM backup and rebooted without an issue.

Looked in ROM Manager for the backup I did before the the wipe and it wasn't there.

Rebooted into recovery via ROM Manager...no issues.

Looked for backup again in sdcard1 and it didn't save.

Factory wipe/reset.

Installed new ROM zip and booted up no issues.

Back into recovery, factory wipe/reset.

Restored last prior backup and dirty flashed updated ROM...worked without issues.

Currently waiting for some free time to try a backup to internal sd.....Hope this helps. Had this type of swipe recovery on my S4...thanks for your time/work and hope you can get it working 100%.

Tried to do backup via ROM Manager...Booted into recovery but E:unknown volume for path /external_sd/clockworkmod/backup/..... Can't mount backup path.

Did a backup to internal sd in CWM and I see the date/backup but haven't wiped and tried restoring yet.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Guys,

On my wife's Z1 she used to have a small SMS Widget that used to show up in the top right of her home screen.

Basically when she received a new message this widget popped up. Tapping on it opened up the message sent.

As I say it was a small circular widget and inside was a photo of the person or number who sent the message.

I would really like to know where it came from and why it has now disappeared.

All I know is the only Messaging Apps she has is the default and GoSMSPro Apps installed.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingchristy123:

Thanks but it's not Facebook Messenger, I know that for sure.

At first I thought it was a product produced by using GoSMSPro but that brings up it's own themed window, not the round one that always appears in the top right of the screen.

I'll keep on looking and have a feeling without help it's going to take a long time to find it again.

My phone will make a either a buzzing/sound or a hissing sound from the earpiece when I'm using phone apps (Viber, Tango, etc.) to make phone calls.

When I'm on a data call, sometimes the earpiece will produce a constant buzzing sound. Or sometimes there will be no buzzing and it'll produce a hissing sound (after each word the other person says).

Using the regular phone, voice calls are clear with no issues.

I'm wondering if it's a hardware defect or network issue?

Just wanna get an idea of what you guys think are the fastest, most stable and least bloated ROMs.

Thus far for me its gotta be the Qtek latest ROM (v1.30 i think) which is pretty fast and so far has not caused me any problems. It does not install a lot of useless stuff on it which is good for me coz I do not use them anyways.

What do you guys thinks?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] adolfotregosa:
latest is 1.31.79. I read a lot in this forum and it seems that o2 roms are popular. Then you have aku3.2.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] vapor:
i used to use the O2 ROM but did not really like it as it was pretty bloated and it was not as stable as the QTEK one. you mean the latest O2 ROM is very good?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] skywriter:
i ran the O2 ROM last night and today. if you used the corporate mode (0506) it removed the extra icons and junk. but it seemed to work ok. i just switched to the QTEK to get A2DP (but my ThinkOutside BT mouse doesn't seem to install correctly... try again tomorrow)

in any case the 'Tornado A2DP patch' works on UNIVERSAL too.

supergsm A2DP is defined here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth

essentially it means support for stereo over bluetooth.

Well I used to use it but only for the announcements. The release of the (experimental) AKU3.2 rom's is the best thing since sliced bread. Very fast performance and stability. The one I preffer is the Ivan one.

If you experience a country ID error locate the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe. Ivan's releases of the AKU 3.2 rom has it in the package.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Lolmewn:
Hello,

I recently got my hands on a Galaxy Gio, but there were still some old accounts on it. Therefore I did a factory reset, but it never booted back up from that. I only seem to have download mode available...

So I wanted to try to do something via Odin to maybe fix it. Plugged the phone in, but it's not recognized by my computer. I know it's not a cable/driver issue since it does see my Galaxy S3 (also broken, eMMC issue damnit).

Any idea's, as to either the original problem (not booting since fac. reset) or the "can't recognise" problem? Any help would be appreciated :)

PS: No roms were on it, not rooted, everything stock as far as I know. (so no Recov. mode either)

[General Questions and Answers] weston109:
I have searched high and low for help getting Kitkat to work on my phone. Here is the background to my problem:

I rooted my Bell Note 3 (Canadian) phone running JB. After doing so I then put a CWM recovery and then flashed with a custom JB rom. Everything works great and yes I do know that I have tripped the KNOX counter. So when the new Kitkat was released I wanted to upgrade to it. I downloaded the original Bell stock JB rom and the stock KK rom. I also downloaded Odin. I tried to flash back to the stock JB rom like I should before updating to Kitkat and while doing so and with Odin I keep getting errors not allowing me to revert back to stock. I know when I boot up I get a notification in the top left corner saying on two separate line exactly like you see it below.

KERNEL IS NOT SEADROID ENFORCING

Set Warranty Bit : kernel

My question is to whoever knows the solution to how to return back to stock JB and then flash KK rom. I have a feeling it has something to do with what is in the left corner when I boot like you see above. If there is a fix please let me know and if I am totally wrong and the problem and fix is something else please feel free to help me. I have been flashing custom roms since Android has been around. This problem has me baffled and don't know what to do from here to get me back to JB then to KK.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arson Smith:
I am super-curious if & how anyone here is using Link2SD successfully with CM11 (on the Epic 4G, specifically).

I've tried scouring these forums, and the Internet in general, to figure out the best way to get this to work...

But everything that I've tried, it all seems to be working great, only up until the first time that the phone reboots, then it all goes to hell.

I am wondering if there are any extra steps to follow, specifically for the Epic 4G, or any particular pitfalls known to avoid?

That's why I wanted to ask here, specifically to Epic 4G users...

If you are getting Link2SD to work well with CM11, then please chime in here, and can you explain how you got it all set up and working well?

(I feel like this is the one last thing that if I could conquer it, then I could really continue to get a lot of life out of this phone... as it stands, it seems too risky to put much faith in Link2SD, because if the phone happens to spontaneously reboot while I'm out running around, then I'm screwed because so many apps just disappear, and then it's a pain to re-download, re-install, and re-setup each of them...)

Thanks in advance for any help,

AS
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] churninern:
I am using Link2SD on my Epic 4G with CM11 with some success. I just did a reboot, and as usual lost any icons that had links created in Link2SD, so I go to the app locker & re-add them to my home screen. This is typical of what happens on a reboot for me. One thing I did notice is that it takes a minute or so for the deleted app icons to show up in the app locker again, so if you are reinstalling them, it may be a matter of waiting for them to show back up. Also on occasion(not this time), Link2SD will prompt me about a problem with the links and then prompt me to reinitiate the partition or something to that affect. Once I do that and it reboots, the app icons are still gone, so I just re-add them. Anyway, I know its not a perfect solution, but with this device its better than running out of RAM. One last thing, needless to say, I only create links for enough apps to free up enough RAM to keep my Epic working properly.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arson Smith:
I've finally got a system going that seems to work for me, and so I thought I'd share some things.

I'm on CM11 (as of today, cm-11-20140602-NIGHTLY-epicmtd.zip) and I'm using Link2SD.

HERE'S A "GOTCHA" THAT HAD ME PULLING MY HAIR OUT FOR AT LEAST A DAY OR TWO:

Link2SD was having problems mounting the 2nd partition - it would just say "Mount script cannot be created." or something like that (not a very helpful error message), no matter how many times I rebooted and tried again. What I *finally* figured out (somehow), was that this error was being caused by /system being completely full. When I went and deleted a few things from /system (such as goofy wallpapers or that 'Apollo' app that I never use), then Link2SD was able to successfully create the script, and then I'd reboot and could use the 2nd partition successfully.

It's still a little aggravating that any reboot of the phone will cause all of my "Linked" apps to disappear - I've played with this until I am blue in the face, and have resigned myself to accepting that this is just "how it is" (?) - but I'm now using Titanium Backup as my workaround.

STEPS I TAKE WHEN THE PHONE REBOOTS:

1) Go into Link2Sd and make sure the 2nd partition is usable, otherwise recreate mount scripts (deleting wallpapers/Apollo if necessary)

2) Under Link2SD's "More" menu, perform the following:

a) Clean up the 2nd partition

b) Clean up the dalvik-cache

c) Clear all app caches

3) Restore apps from Titanium Backup

a) starting with Facebook app (the biggest hog) and then immediately go and make Facebook a "Linked" app again

b) restore a few more apps (to internal/phone), then go and shuffle those over to "Linked" apps via Link2SD

c) (repeat step 'b' until all apps are restored and "Linked" via Link2SD

^ This is the only way I've been able to get this to work for me... but now I can put about as many apps on the phone as I'll ever possibly need, and I have to say everything is running pretty smoothly now - but if anyone can see a better way, or how to improve what I'm doing, then I'm all ears... please let me (us) know.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Apex launcher doesn't lose the icons. I can free about 66MB of system space by swapping the launcher, deleting CM wallpapers, live wallpaper and Google keyboard.

I verified link2SD plus was not working properly but free link2SD works as advertised. For me, just installing the plus version will break the working functions of the free version. The free version scripts, links and launcher icons survive reboots. The plus version continually lost mount and wouldn't properly clean up the second partition and was not copying the lib files and placing them in the second partition.

Edit: per the developer's request, after verifying free link2SD was setup and surviving reboots, I added plus link2SD and rebooted: OK so far. Next I linked a file with plus version; OK until reboot. The application was not found except in directories. Dalvik cache cleanup finds the dex link and file in second partition as unneeded files. Had to manually delete all the files and links for the broken application and reinstall it. Also had to uninstall plus link2SD to properly link again. Sent the results back to developer.

Edit: 6/20/2014; link2SD 3.4.8 fixed the reboot issue for the link2SD Plus version for me. Sent email to developer to thank him for the fix.

See post #8.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Update on my last entry:

I emailed the link2SD developer and got a reply asking me to check the plus version again. In my reply back I linked him to this thread.

Another tip to add for nightly flashers that use link2SD and modify the zip prior to flashing: pull the mount script, 11link2SD, found at /system/etc/init.d and move it same location on zip before flashing. If retaining data, ie: dirty flashing; the mount securely retains your apps after flashing new nightly. Just checked with free version of link2SD: works.

I'm using link2SD for all minus 16gb internal android device. Here is what i do in epic 4g, currently on CM11 20140523, use 20131209 gapps. I just write the part involved link2sd :

1. Buy atleast 16gb microSD and class 10 is a must, make 2nd partition (usually about 4gb - 6gb) as ext2 - ext4 (depends on the OS).

2. Device rooted, install titanium backup & root explorer 3.1.3 (make sure the root explorer working). Uninstall system apk (one of the launcher, whisper push, terminal emulator (I prefer use better terminal emulator, install as user app), CM filemanager, etc - still more that can be uninstalled for more space in system.

3. install link2SD, pick ext2 - ext4 (depends), dont restart yet. go to setting, uncheck everything then restart.

4. After back to launcher, open root explorer, go to root/data/, check app & dalvik-cache folder, press copy. Go to sdext2 folder, delete lost&found folder (usually there), and paste. So the app & dalvik-cache folder is there now (you could copy data/data folder too if you really want maximum extra space in internal, but in epic 4g i didn't copy data folder because it's enough space).

5. At the sdext2 folder, long press app folder, select "link to this folder", go to root/data/, press "create link" - "yes". Then go to sdext2 folder again, long press dalvik-cache folder, select "link to this folder", go to root/data/, press "create link" - "yes". Do the same if you copy data/data folder to sdext2 folder.

6. Reboot. Done. Then installing others app or restore with titanium backup.

I hope this is useful. Some Screenshot attached.

Good news! It appears the link2SD version 3.4.8 released today has a bug fix to survive reboots for linked apps when linking with link2SD plus version.

So far, I've only linked one app with plus version enabled and it survived one reboot. Then Ⓘ linked the data folder and rebooted again which also survived the reboot.

Looks like plus version is fully functional; I'll update if it fails some time later.
