[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaseyCor:
I don't have enough posts to put this in the main BlissPop thread, so I was redirected here.

Can I flash the new 5.1 nightlies over the official build? I tried to dirty flash a nightly over the official BlissPop build from April 9th a few days ago, and got stuck in a bootloop (optimizing apps loop. same thing happened when dirty flashing CM12.1 over CM12.

How are the nightlies in terms of battery life? I'm really liking BlissPop, but my battery life has taken a huge hit. It was pretty bad when I switched to CM12 from the stock ROM, and now it's even worse. I'm hoping the nightly builds will help out. No amount of playing with the kernel settings has helped so far. Is there a different kernel I should be using, other than the kernel that comes with the ROM? I saw some people talking about Elite Kernel in the BlissPop thread, but I can't seem to find a download link for a M8 Lollipop build.

If anyone has any suggestions in terms of battery life, please share. I've already turned off almost every apps Keep Awake permission using Privacy Guard. I haven't played with the Wakelock blocker much yet. Are their any Wakelock services I should block for sure?

Bluetooth map problem

I am running the latest Blisspop nightly, and have tried every nightly before that with no luck with Bluetooth map services. If map profile is checked when paired to 2015 Mazda3, bluetooth crashes and would not turn on until data is cleared for either Bluetooth Share or Bluetooth Extensions. If I do not acknowledge the crash message (phone display cannot be used due to persistent error message), then my car keeps on receiving and sending messages for about 5 minutes, and all other functions such as calling, contact lookup and music playback keep on working. Everything was working fine with BlissPop with Android 5.0.. Just wondering if there's any solution to this problem; I would really like to read/ reply from my car. BlissPop is perfect otherwise. Thanks.

Is anyone else having Android Wear issues with the last 3 builds? My watch is constantly disconnecting and reconnecting, about once a minute. I'm running the latest Android Wear version and latest firmware on my Moto 360. I know a lot of people are having trouble with bluetooth in general, but for whatever reason I haven't ever had problems. I use a bluetooth speaker every day, and never have any issues with connectivity. It's only Android Wear that is having issues.

I'm downloading the newest nightly for BlissPop right now. Hopefully that solves it, because I'm going out for the night and would like to use my watch.

PSA for verizon users

If you have been rooted and on a custom ROM for a long time, your firmware may be out of date. Every single 5.1 ROM I flashed had bad cell data (would never find a network) and I couldn't figure out the issue for a few weeks. Updated TWRP, hboot, everything. Finally figured out there was an OTA verizon update that I never got and it updated the firmware to accept 5.1. Finally got a working flash, loving this ROM so far. Has some features that are going to be in android M!

Dark widgets?

Hey,

I'm coming off 4.4.4 Beanstalk and have installed BlissPop 5.1.1 a couple days ago with the 2nd suggested GApps package.

I noticed that the Messaging and Email widgets are not changed to dark when you go into the BlissPop:

Settings \ Dark Bliss \ Dark Bliss = ON

and

Settings \ Dark Bliss \ Switch theme = Manual

Within the Messaging and Email apps the theme is dark, but I would love it if the widgets also went dark too.

Any help is appreciated.

thanks

2.Frozen and slow user interface

Phones typically begin to slow down as their internal storage fills up. Try deleting unused apps and photos, or moving them to the cloud or a microSD card. In addition, you should close open apps that you are no longer using, delete app cache, and limit the use of live wallpapers.An app's cached data can be deleted be going to Settings, clicking on Apps, selecting a certain app, and choosing the "Clear cache" option. Programs such as App Cache Cleaner and Clean Master, both of which are available for free from the Google Play store, can also be used to automate the process of clearing cache.

3.Connectivity issues

If you have are having a problem connecting to Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or your cellular network, enable Airplane mode for 30 seconds, toggle it off, and try connecting again. Sometimes simply toggling the specific connection can also solve the problem.Still having issues? Try repairing or setting up your Bluetooth device or Wi-Fi network again.

4.Stalled text messages

New input method intended for watches like TS, Callisto 100/300, AW414/420, X201 and any Android 4.0+ device with small screens.

Can't post the link as a new user, please check Google Play for "Watch EWriting".

Intended for use on small Watch screens. Takes almost zero space on the screen in contrast with keyboards - you draw "graffiti"-like symbols one by one and still see all fields of your APP

Crash problem

Would like to use it, seems like a good idea. After installing it crashes, I have set Ewriting as the stand keyboard after installing the app. Restart is not solving the problem....

Strange.. It never crases on my Callisto 300 and number of Callisto 100's of my friends. which II consider a copies of Truesmart in terms of software (and hardware too). It would be interesting to know if it works on Truesmarts of other users ? Anyone tried ?

Can anybody tell me how to send DTMF tone in Cingular 8525? I searched this forum and the internet infact, but not able find the answer.

I need it to be able to set up the phone number in the address book to do this:

dial the 877-xxx-xxxx number

manual wait

DTMF a 10 digit number followed by a #

manual wait

DTMF a 4 digit number followed by a #

manual wait

DTMF a 11 digit number followed by a #

This is for calling my parents in India and it's always been really convenient to just program the whole thing.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pvs:
One way would be to enter a 'p' wherever you want a pause in the dialing. This produces a second or two pause between sending the numbers.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] arvindcell:
Thanks for the quick reply. I tried that and even tried adding w but it is not working.

Also my requirement is a manual pause meaning the automated message takes a while to finish, so I need to send the tones manually.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pvs:
Hmmm. I dunno. I used to be able to do something like that on an OLLLLD Motorola and some home (non-cellular) phones by using several speed-dial locations, and calling up each one as it was needed. But I never tried it with my 8525 (and don't really need that usability now).

Maybe you can give that a shot and let us all know if it works????

Good luck!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] arvindcell:
Thank you for that suggestion. Since it is a lot of combinations I would prefer to use DTMF. I really don't know wherther you can send DTMF tones on 8525. Also I saw in the install notes of HTweakC 2.1 for Hermes that it would enable DTMF support. I guess I don't know how to use that feature. Can somebody please tell what I am missing?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] kasual:
DTMF

I had issues with this also.

I used the HTweakC 2.1 to turn on (then off / then back on again with soft resets each time.) (Don't forget to "save and exit" after changes.) the DTMF support.

Opened the phone app and went into options. Set DTMF to short.

Used the following format for the contact phone number.

(111) 111-1111w11111#w11111#

Everytime you get to a w, the phone will wait for you to press the send key.

I also was able to use the p to do a 2 second pause.

For some reason I had to redo the contact several times before it would work.

Good luck.

[Galaxy S 4 General] DeepankarS:
HOW TO BACKUP YOUR PHONE

Hey guys!

I've seen a lot of people being confused about how to backup your phone before a custom rom install or a firmware upgrade.

People here mostly use Titanium backup or Helium to use backup their phones, still the new users/noobs dont know how to operate them. :)

ao I am making a detailed guide for both, Rooted Phones and Non Rooted phones. :)

Thanks. :)

COMMON WAYS FOR ROOTED AND NON ROOTED :

CONTACTS : Simple. Android has given us the unique feature of backing up using the phone itself.

-Open the Contacts app

-Press the Menu Button

-Press Import/Export

-Export to SDCard

and youre done. The phone will make a *.vcf file in your system which can be used on any android phone.

IMAGES : Two Alternatives. Using an App or Manually

-App : Use Quick Backup to SD by Linever corporation from the playstore. It backups in the SD card by making a folder for each album that you've transferred.

MANUALLY :

-Copy the DCIM folder.

-Copy the Pictures folder

-Paste it somewhere safe

CALL LOGS : Use Easy Backup frim the playstore :)

SPECIFIC for NON ROOTED vs. ROOTED.

NON ROOTED PHONES

APPLICATIONS: TWO WORDS. APK EXTRACT from the playstore. IT saves your apps on the Internal SD card and then you can safely copy all your apps :)

APP DATA : The MOST IMPORTANT backup after contacts :P

Nobody likes to lose their HighScores or the points earned and start from the beginning.

-Download Helium App from the Playstore

-Download Helium App for the PC (it prompts)

-Enable USB Debugging from developer options

-Backup on the INTERNAL SD first.

-Copy the folder named CARBON from the internal SD to anywhere safe.

You can restore by the same app on some other phone by just pressing restore. Somehow for me I copy the carbon folder to the INTERNAL SD again and then restore as a direct restore from sd does not work.

ROOTED PHONES

We guys have a lot of options. :P

Ohh yes we do. ;)

APPLICATIONS and APP DATA

Two APPS. TITANIUM BACKUP & HELIUM

-Open Tiranium Backup

-Tap Backup/Restore

-If you want to backup just one app, tap on it and select backup or;

to backup all the apps, use the tick mark in the app on the backup/restore tab.

Restoring Via TIB.

This is one issue many face. But it is simple.

-Just open TiB

-Press Menu button

-Press Batch Actions

-See for restore

-Press on Restore Apps with Missing Data.

HELIUM

The same process as non rooted users, but then we dont want USB debugging on or the Desktop app.

Just give root permissions and start backing up. :)

I find helium better than TiB for App and App data. :)

Again. Opinions differ :)

This is a basic guides for the "Important Things" in our phone.

If you want me to add about anything specific, Just leave a reply.

Or if you have any other ways or backing up, Ill add it here.

I'll make sure I keep this updated.

Thank you :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] DeepankarS:
PRECAUTIONS :

Never Backup system apps and try to push them on other roms.

Dont even try pushing them into system/app or system/priv-apps.

Each system app is made according to a relevant framework.

This can lead to a possible funny behaviour of the phone and many unexpected crashes and weird bootloops.

Its always advised to backup and restore the general utility apps that can be downloaded from the playstore to save data and download time :)

Do update backups once a week. This helps your backup not to get obsolete with time :)

[Galaxy S 4 General] DeepankarS:
[B]Guide for a NANDROID a.k.a. NAND backup.[/B]

Nandroid backups are a life saviour if you dont want to flash the whole stock rom then again do the process of custom recoveries etc. just because you had a "bootloop"

Like c'mon! A bootloop/random ui crashing and you flash a full stock rom. Sounds funny.

But yes, people have to do it if they dont have a handy nandroid backup.

Pre requisite:

-A Custom Recovery.

The best and widely used ones being Philz Recovery

TWRP Recovery

CWM recovery

(Will update links after sometime)

-Knowledge of how to flash things via odin.

-Some common sense on selecting what to flash :P

How to Install a Custom Recovery

Should I tell that?

in brief

1.Boot into download mode

2.Connect phone to odin and wait for odin to recognise

3.Select the recovery in AP/PDA

4.Press start and let it do its work.

How to enter into a custom recovery

a. Press Volume up + Home Button + Power Button. As soon as you see The GalaxyS4 screen, leave all three and in a jiffy press Volume Up + Home Button.

b. Use quickboot/any other mod that you run that boots your phone in recovery.

Nand Backup

a. When youre in the recovery, press on backup/restore

b. Press on backup and do a full system backup.

It usually takes 30 minutes for a bloated firmware backup. Restore takes the same time.

Do have atleast 40% battery.

Remember, backups can be selective too (Only Data/Only System etc etc.)

Same is for the restore.

A nand backup will always restore you to your last backup position (obvious). So do keep manual backups too. :D

Anyone know how to backup bluetooth pairings? That causes me most pain when updating roms. Titanium has the feature but does not work
[Galaxy S 4 General] Ehabb1:
Mr. [MENTION=3634463]deepanker[/MENTION]S,

This guide makes life easy!

You mentioned to back up data and apps through APK Extract, Helium, TiB on the internal SD.

Can I do it on the external SD instead? Would that affect the restore process if i was to restore data and apps backed up on the external SD Memory card?
[Galaxy S 4 General] DeepankarS:
Lol first edit your comment and shorten the op thread :P

And yeah..if everything is on the internal sd, copy these folder manually from the internal to external. By default these apps will save info on the internal sd card.

Thus you have settings in the apks to select where to backup.

Just Helium doesnt work on extsd, be it backup/restore. :)

-TitaniumBackup

-Carbon (contauns helium data)

-ApkExtract/Extracted

Need some help, i have been making backups with recoverys TWRP and Phliz both. I did a full backup of my stock rom 4.4.2 and with TWRP when restore i was unable to write to internel sdcard. And ita was really a annoyn situation. And with the new Philz when i did the restore after boot all apps keep fc could not use it at all.

Any idea why this happens is it due to rong way of wipe (data, system, cashe) when i flash custom roms? Or way that i backup the stock rom? This only happens with the stock rom :(

Hello there [MENTION=3634463]deepanker[/MENTION]s

I have rooted my phone and everything was going absolutely smooth until today I can't do anything to my external SD card (delete, create folder, etc...). I have already done the SD fix using the app "next app* when I first rooted the phone. I tried Uninstalling then reinstalling es explorer however the problem still exists! I'm sure that es explorer has root access. I tried using the stock "my files" app to do any modifications to my external SD however with no luck!

I appreciate your help in resolving this issue.
[Galaxy S 4 General] melekbarca:
i am facing the same issue using cwm 6.0.64 when i restore my stock rom backup and reboot lot of apps fc such as gapps but after some research in this forum i realize that only the latest philz recovery could backup and restore a stock rom properly :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] Kn!ght L!fe:
I think the isuue is stock rom do a format to its partions which is why it do many isuues. Coz in reovery it do its own wipe before resotre. Which makes problems to stock.

Even in new philz i had the issue but what i did was wipe full (not internalsd) restore only system and boot once after that i restore data. In that way no isuue at all. All work good.

I've got a bit of a problem.

I recently flashed a custom recovery (CWM) through flashify app, with the intention to flash a new theme on the phone (I'm a noob, so I wanted to try flashing with something easy at first). I kept my backup (nandroid of stock 4.2.2, rooted, theme free) on my ext sd card. So now, I want to return to my stock rom, the theme-free one. From recovery I did a factory reset/wipe data, BUT when I tried to restore the backup I get a message "couldn't open directory. File not found," even though the folder is there and it locates it just fine. How do I restore my backup? Thank you.
