I root my device with oppo recovery and install titanium backup pro;

my problème : I can't change the folder of my backup; I select a folder on my sd card but when I re open titanium backup, the folder isn't change...

someone have the same problème ? I send a mail to titanium backup team but no solution ... for th moment
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] AngryHapposai:
Known issue. The only working solution so far is to install ColorOS v2.0i Beta.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] seanpr123:
Considering sending the phone back for this reason alone.

Stupid they can't/haven't fixed it.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] KL643:
Install Beta 2 or use Oppo's own backup app for now until they fix it.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] seanpr123:
Yep, aware of the beta.

Their own app was not restoring data for me, did you ever try it?

On Gummy now and way happier, may actually keep the device now. Can't believe how much nicer the touch response is, will be watching battery today but may actually keep the device now!
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] KL643:
No haven't tried to restore data yet with own app but I hope it works if I need it.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] monamibouli:
I try this one, but I have not try to restore yet ...
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] AngryHapposai:
There is a new ota update for the find7a, and it looks like it fixes the TB issues. Try it out.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] krabman:
Also be aware that if you install the release software version of 1.2 (001) Ti was working. You can then create a folder on your sd with Ti before updating, update to 002 and it will work. Both there and after updating to 003 but you have to create the folder on 001. I haven't tested 004 yet.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] monamibouli:
It's OK for me after installing the new release of ColorOS 1.20i (004)

Thks for the news
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] AngryHapposai:
Glad you solved it. It seems to be fixed for most people, except maybe those who tempered with the stock rom a bit too much.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Ascenca83:
Hi everyone

I have a problem. I am on the X9006_002_140419 version which the phone came with and I am not able to perform a complete TB backup with it (known issue). Now I tried to upgrade to the nevest OTA version by using the stock recovery. Only problem is that the OTA wipes all data.

My question is if there is a way to upgrade to the newest OTA without loosing all the app data. Is there an OTA version (003 or 004) which does not wipe all data?

My phone is rooted and I am using TWRP 2.7.0.0 custom recovery.

Thanks everyone for any help.

Best,

Ascenca
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Scann69:
Anybody tried My Backup Pro? Not sure if that works on 002
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] ShadowSkills:
I don't know about others, but I've updated through 3 OTAs for v1.2 and I haven't lose my apps and settings yet.

Sent from my Find 7a
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] AngryHapposai:
Me neither.

But I think that oppo's OTA doesn't work with TWRP recovery installed.

So, people who use that kind of setup must use a modified version of the OTA file to update the phone through TWRP, and maybe that wipes their apps and settings.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Ascenca83:
Well what I did was reverting back the recovery to stock recovery and then applying the original otas. Although I did it that way it wiped all my apps and data.

What I did now was a full wipe and installed the full 003 package, then the 004 ota and reinstalled and setup all apps.

Result: TB is still not working although I am on 004 which should work with TB. Any further help?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] AngryHapposai:
THIS is all I got left for you.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MadMungo:
Hi, The only way I could get it to work was, Full wipe and then install full 001

package but did not allow the phone to sync any data, then I let the phone perform the ota update of 004. I then installed TB and tested if it works, which it dose, then I let the phone sync and install my apps and tested again.

[One (M8) General] domotang:
I wasn't very happy with the photos from the M8. As a photographer I knew this poor performance wasn't the product of a low resolution sensor, but instead a non-photo grade plastic HTC chose to place over the camera. Causes fringing, a drop in a f stop, and diffraction.

I decided to remove the crappy plastic lens cover from my M8. The results paid off and my photos no longer exhibit those nasty anomalies. And photographic test show a 1.7 f stop gain.

I removed the lens in one piece so I can replace at a later time.

I don't suggest this to everyone. But it is a good solution for those sensitive to the issues above.
[One (M8) General] brockyneo:
Wow :eek: you got some balls to do that to the m8 lol trouble you will have tho is dust and crap getting into the optics and the internels :crying:

But well done like the fact that it can make the pics a bit nicer shame someone couldn't make glass ones so we can just replace the plastic one ;)
[One (M8) General] domotang:
Perhaps I can order a cut of ultrathin photographic glass from Hoya or B&W. What htc stuck on there really is crap. No coatings and easily scratched.
[One (M8) General] domotang:
BTW - The optics are still sealed on this camera. The real camera lens can be cleaned like any other camera lens (although very tiny)

[One (M8) General] iggdawg:
Not sure if trolling or crazy
[One (M8) General] ashyx:
It's not something I would do as my lens cover seems fine. Neither do I think it has anything to do with the plastic used but more the coating on the plastic. Others have had great success removing this coating. Incidentally didn't I see posted somewhere a glass cover for the lens? Maybe you could replace it with that.

How did u manage to remove it?
[One (M8) General] domotang:
I'm an engineer. But think what you want. Or do you want to compare notes on photography?
[One (M8) General] iggdawg:
Exactly, the lens cover is almost certainly glass, it just has an anti-glare coating that scratches fairly easily. The way DIY-ers usually remove this coating from the glass underneath is a moist paper towel and a very tiny amount of toothpaste. a few minutes of rubbing and it'll come right off. Had to do this with my One X+.
[One (M8) General] domotang:
At least you are one of the few who acknowledge the lens cover is plastic. It's not of the same grade that was on the M7. No anti-reflective coating causing a huge 1.7 stop loss in light.

Getting with B&W for a custom cut glass with proper coatings
[One (M8) General] domotang:
Unfortunately my M8 is always soft on the right side of the frame. Crappy HTC QC.

Here's two photos. The first with lens cover removed. High contrast w blown highlights. Still blurry on right side however.

The second high contrast photo demonstrates light bleed caused by diffraction. Contrast is lacking in comparison to the first.
[One (M8) General] domotang:
Sorry. Wasn't aware Tapatalk compressed and reduced posted photos. I will post a link to the originals as soon as possible.
[One (M8) General] iggdawg:
I'm sorry, I'm no engineer. All I have is a lowly degree in physics. I've seen plenty of pictures of the lens cover cracked. it's glass. or a very strange plastic that cracks in a way plastic doesn't but glass does. You sound more interested in your opinion than any other information out there though.

I could tell you why you're getting the blurriness on the right side, but you don't sound interested in comparing notes on photography.
[One (M8) General] domotang:
It's not glass. Need proof?
[One (M8) General] iggdawg:
Sure?

I mean sharing your experience in the first place instead of being all "I'm an engineer" would have been pretty great.
[One (M8) General] domotang:
I thought your initial post accusing me of either trolling or crazy was tacky. I don't have time for either. So my post was aimed at anybody wanting to perhaps solve an issue (if they even think it's an issue).

I'll do this. I have two M8s. My gold one has a cracked cover. I'll remove it and then melt with standard lighter. But first I'm going to post side by side shots between an M8 with lens cover and without lens cover. I'll also offer to polish the lens cover.. Then try to scratch it again. Just wanting to help you guys out.
[One (M8) General] littlegreenalien:
How did u removed it
[One (M8) General] domotang:
I removed it with heat and a small suction cup. Came right off.

I'm having this problem too, I don't consider myself a noob, but my wife is sick she's pregnant and I have 3 daughters under 6. I have searched the forums until my eyes full with blood. I have a virgin mobile galaxy s3 rooted using clockwork mod custom recovery. Twice now they have offered to 4.4 update, frankly, I want to take it and unroot, I want the new update and I will root it again myself later. But both times it fails. Aborted. I have gathered in the threads its something to do with my custom recovery when I need it spelled out more than that. I've been working 19 hours a day and I'm a bit delirious. What can I do to make the update go through I don't care losing root. And my friends I'm sorry but I have looked everywhere for the answer and I am just exhausted with 2 jobs in a baby on the way. I apologize in advance can someone spell out for me what I should do I do not have a p_c or a computer can I do this from the phone? Is there a custom recovery or method I can do so the update will take? It gets more confusing more I read.. This time in from the little bit of research I have found I do not know if the update is still on my phone or not? I can't find it? They have offered it to me twice and when I check for the update in the update menu it is gone. I hope Samsung and virgin does not stop offering it because as crazy as it sounds I want a 4.4 stock unrooted.rooted I hope the ota is still on here. Can someone help me? You guys are awesome for years I've been looking at these threads and I rarely have to post because it's all spelled out. But this time I need a little help from my friends.

This is beautyfull, thanks!

EDIT: I tryed the kernel:

1) I think the splash screen is too bright;

2) The RIL doesn't work, my phone says ''no service''

If i find other bugs I'll poste them ;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] pec0ra:
Thank's for the quick review

1) Splash screen is the same as for the other version.

2) This is because it is based on fxp 320. I'll see tomorrow if I can change this but it works great on my phone...
[Xperia SP Android Development] joaste:
Thanks for the kernel!!!

Unfortunately, I've lost phone network after rebooting. In addition, changes to parameters (using fauxclock) don't survive a reboot. Of course, biggest issue is can't call/be called...

I'm on FXP 320...

EDIT: sorry, comments above were not there yet when I was writing my comments ;) Hope you find the solution to RIL problem!

Hi, would it be possible to add rear mic support into this kernel? Its currently missing in the CM11 kernel...
[Xperia SP Android Development] pec0ra:
I will take a look at it but I don't think I'll manage to fix it. It's probably not kernel related.

Btw, I will NOT add smartassH3 because it is exactly the same as smartassV2. Only the name and the tunable parameters are changed so you can edit it by yourself using any cpu control app. Plus, smartassH3 is still based on old smartassV2 which doesn't work on multicores. The smartassV2 version in Williams kernel was adapted to work on newer phones.

Is this kernel stable and does he improve battery life on cm11 fxp ?

It is much better than all the other CM kernels for SP.

But why the I/O still not as well as the kernel of the stock .201?
