Hello,

I have Juice Defender for managing battery life and it toggles of Wifi and bluetooth when screen is off to save battery. I created a Tasker profile than checks if the phone is connected to a trusted wifi and if so to disable the pin protection on the lock screen. However, since Juice defender turns off wifi Tasker frequently turns on the pin protection on the lock screen and only once I enter the pin and enter the main screen does Juice Defender turn on wifi defeating tasker's purpose. Does anyone know as to how battery does toggling wifi save? Juice Defender usually reports upto 70-100% savings which is a lot. Is there a Tasker profile that will recognize that it is near a wifi rather than connected to it when the screen is switched on and disable the lock screen?

Does this device have a locked bootloader like the Moto's of old where you cannot unlock it?

I'm talking about the International/UK device, Not a US version?

I was looking at ordering one as the Nexus 6 is way too big, but I want to be able to Root & Rom this sucker.

Samsung relaesed exynos 7 which seems same with exynos 5433 instead of 64 bit support. Are we really sure about exynos5433 is a a57 cpu?

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Exyn...ormance-over-previous-generation-chip_id61799
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
It's probably the same SoC with a different name - the Exynos 7 is the official 64-bit version, while it's still unclear whether the Exynos 5433 is going to receive an update to 64-bit.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RodionD:
Hi all.

Trouble with my S5 SM-G900H!

I have a fresh install of Windows7 SP1 64bit. After connecting the phone cord (factory, MicroUSB 2) relatives in Device Manager appear strange device: "Conmeon Suspend", "CDC ACP", "CDC NCM". Set Kies3 through it put the Samsung USB-drivers. None of these devices is not defined.

After you connect to a computer on the phone is turned on and charging no more signs of connection to a computer is not.

In the "Tethering and Mobile hotspot", even when the cable is connected, item "USB tethering is hidden," written under it "No USB device connected."

Connecting to Windows7 32bit gives the same result.

After connecting to a computer with Linux on lsusb shows the device "Conmeon" and nothing else in the system appears.

Made a hard reset to factory settings - does not help.

How to revive the USB-connection?

Introduction

As you know the emoji are only working if you are using KitKat rom normally.

Today I will show you how to edit the International Xperia Keyboard to be able to use emoji also with Jelly Bean rom.

Tutorial

Download latest Xperia Keyboard, there are a lot available on the forum.

Decompile it with apktool as usual (I won't explain how to use apktool).

Open smali/com/sonyericsson/textinput/uxp/configuration/TextInputRequirements.smali

Search this method:

.method private getSymbolsType(Landroid/content/res/Resources;)Ljava/lang/String;

In that method replace the word smiley by emoji like this:

.method private getSymbolsType(Landroid/content/res/Resources;)Ljava/lang/String;
.locals 2
.param p1, "res" # Landroid/content/res/Resources;

.prologue
.line 222
sget v0, Landroid/os/Build$VERSION;->SDK_INT:I

const/16 v1, 0x13

if-lt v0, v1, :cond_0

.line 228
const v0, 0x7f0a0003

invoke-virtual {p1, v0}, Landroid/content/res/Resources;->getString(I)Ljava/lang/String;

move-result-object v0

.line 230
:goto_0
return-object v0

:cond_0
const-string v0, "[COLOR="Green"]emoji[/COLOR]"

goto :goto_0
.end method

Recompile and sign apk

Done

[G3 Android Development] android-incredible:
???? with this EFS could I install a rom for another carrier and restore this EFS to make data and wifi works?
[G3 Android Development] autoprime:
Please edit your post and remove the quote. It's frowned upon to quote the OP of a thread... due to updates always happening.. and you've now frozen my post in time.

as for your question... it is still up to the rom to have fixed data/wifi working. restoring EFS only fixes data when the rom should be working perfectly but the EFS has been damaged. But restoring EFS is not some magical bandaid to fix broken roms.

[G3 Android Development] jdgesmlls:
I can report that it worked while I was running CM11/Stock 4.4.x but does not seem to work while I am running BlissPop 5.0.1. I had to wipe internal storage to get BlissPop 5.0.1 to install correctly. I wanted to run the .zip again just to have but I have the EFS backup from when I ran it before. Maybe autoprime can explain if there is some limitation while running LP.

***UPDATE***

I verified that flashing the script while running Beans 11C 4.4.2 successfully creates /sdcard/EFS_Backup/G3_EFS_Flashable_Restore.zip. It must be a script dependency on 4.4.x.
[G3 Android Development] aheeejd:
Thank you for this autoprime, can't believe I'm just coming across this today. I need to look around more. Anyway, totally worked for me, running the new Vanir 4.4.4 rom, went to recovery, wiped cache & dalvik cache & flashed, note, shouldn't matter but I did move the zip to root of SD beforehand, but yeah, flashed, twrp said success, & everything looks like op said it would,

Thanks to Nexus 5 and G3 users for the heads up about EFS backup issues.

Updated OP with fixed EFS backup zip.. should work for those who had issues running it since Android 5.0 came around. I was having issues using it myself while on LG Stock Lollipop.. updated zip works for me.. and hopefully for everyone else again now too.

As always.. if flashable zip doesn't work as it should let me know.. but also.. the manual steps are there for a reason!
[G3 Android Development] AamirXtreme:
EFS Backup method seems same for Both G2 and G3, Can this method be used to backup/restore EFS of G PRO 2 ?
[G3 Android Development] tarroyo:
What would be a situation where you would need to backup or restore your efs files?
[G3 Android Development] AamirXtreme:
When you are going for custom ROMs or making changes in current ROMs with root access.
[G3 Android Development] tarroyo:
Coming from a nexus 4 to nexus 5 to g3 I've never had to restore or backup my efs files.
[G3 Android Development] AamirXtreme:
If you got root access wnd recovery its good practice to backup EFS. I have been using custom roms since my old Xperia x10i and not a single time i suffered efs damage but its still better to be on safe side.
[G3 Android Development] scottspa74:
Right. This device is the first I've ever heard of EFS. HTC EVO , HTC EVO LTE (jewel), One M7, Samsung tab 3, nexus 5, never heard of EFS. On a similar note, I just noticed that twrp has been backing up my radio imgs when making a nandroid by default. Never seen that before. Not sure if that is new to TWRP, or specific to g3 build of TWRP. or if even necessary or recommended.

[G3 Android Development] AcidKiller:
No GSM,3g, Intermittent 4G and Wifi is fine

Good day

I seem to have lost GSM,3G on my wifes G3 prior to me backing up the EFS partition.

My question, would this be useful if I was to replace the motherboard P/N : EBR78903513 - PCB Assembly,Main and then flash the EFS partition I backed up?

Or does a new motherboard come with a new IMEI?

Thanks :good:
[G3 Android Development] autoprime:
id try to flash/restore back to stock with a stock kdz or tot first. if still no gsm/3g then yes it is likely the EFS messed up (or severe hardware issue.. tho unlikely).. so a new board as you mentioned would fix it all. if its the full board.. then it would contain the efs/imei already. you would NOT backup current efs and restore it to the new board.
[G3 Android Development] AcidKiller:
Hi, thanks for the response, I did flash back to stock KDZ, still no luck. Im sending it in on Monday to get it repaired under warranty. So I guess I wouldn't need to worry about the EFS being updated.

As far as I could gather, it seems like a hardware failure(after studying the services manual yesterday).

I will backup the new EFS immediately when the phone comes back from repair.

:good:
[G3 Android Development] jhericurls:
I messed up, I got a new device and restore the backup from my old device EFS and all. So now my phone have not signal.

[G3 Android Development] autoprime:
doesn't work that way. EFS is not a browsable partition through normal methods.

what are you trying to see?

I want to see if the files is ok because i try to restore some rom from recovery and i choose and the efs and quickly abord the restore with pull out the battery. I know on restore the efs restored last but i want to know sure of this
[G3 Android Development] suljo94:
if understand correctly you pulled out your battery while restoring your efs partition and are now affraid it is messed up?

you can check if it is ok by booting and dialing *#06# it is gives a number starting 35 it is ok if it gives 0/null you need to restore it again

Please do not post the number here 35xxxxxxxxxxxxx

[G3 Android Development] brusslesprouts:
i think this happened to me lost my EFS. Im on Tmobile and was on the lollipop update had to manually update it since there is no OTA yet. I was having problems with it so decided to flash back to 4.4.2 after flashing back i lost all service no 4g no lte no nothing only wifi. So i flashed back to lollipop so i can have a somewhat working phone again.

Hi, thanks for great way to backup EFS.

3 Q please:

1.there is only 3 ways to backup and resotre with root of course:

a.Termnal commeds in the OP

b.Flashe zip in TWRP ("LG_G3_Flash2BackupEFS.zip")

c.Backup EFS partition in TWRP

There are more ways to backup and restore EFS?

2. How can I test it and know for sure the backup was good in all 3 ways?

3. If I lost the IMEI and I didn't backup EFS ,Only Flashing KDZ or TOT will help me? (KDZ is Enough)

Can i backup and restore EFS by use TWRP 2.8.7.0?
[G3 Android Development] MDMTahiti:
Too late, but it's done now!

I flashed a ROM on my TWRPd G3 and the directions instructed to wipe the system too. That killed my EFS. Fortunately, the ZVA OTA update happened the next day, and I could conveniently say to Sprint that after the update, the phone would not authenticate on the network - which was true. They sent me a replacement phone even 3 weeks after 1 year. So kudos to Sprint, and especially you for this timely EFS backup. Fortunately too, I always backup everything before flashing.

I was on Lollipop 5.1.1 skydragon (stock) rom and decided to go back to my original rom and restored it. is that where i went wrong? was i supposed to flash kdz back to stock, then restore my kitkat 4.4.2? Luckily i made a backup of the skydragon rom and i was able to restore it and i have my IMEI in that rom. can i just backup the IMEI from skydragon 5.1.1 and restore it on kitkat 4.4.2 rom?
[G3 Android Development] rocketmanjp:
Here's a little Guide to retoring your IMEI if you did in fact corrupt or forget to backup your EFS:

If you are on Marshmallow enter the Hidden Menu by opening up the dialer and typing in *#546368#*855#

Next Select SVC Menu then CRCWIZARD Test

Change to the Auto MID tab and under the MID settings below type in your IMEI number and hit MID Write.

Reboot and your IMEI will be restored.

choose Qualcomm Nv tools and go to secure ops tab. And just write correct MEID/IMEI to your phone!

your MEID is your IMEI minus the last letter of IMEI.
