Thanks for the reply

Yes, most useful things increasingly require root, unfortunately. For example even turning off wifi by automating needs root in 10 and you would know many more points. That's why I have been rooting since KitKat and of course Xposed modules

If you feel that you can add that counter, I would be thankful but it is your call. What I feel useful need not appeal to larger sections.

Thanks for considering.

Edit : could you please link that API?
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Yes, this can be added in a future update. On Samsung it could probably load the existing charge counter (if rooted or access allowed).

Android API: https://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/battery-monitoring
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
After investigating on a couple of devices, I found some kernel files that can provide the charge counter. On Samsung it is root-only, whereas on Pixel it seems open-bar.

It has been added to beta 2.1.4c along a new calendar to show when phone was charged and a color-coded cycle count per day, 1 charge = green, 2 = yellow, 3 = orange, 4+ = red.
[Android Apps and Games] beeshyams:
Thanks for your help. I will check it out in a few days.

Edit : I said few days because update isn't available on Play store for me (India)

Edit 2: [MENTION=253258]3c[/MENTION] Thanks. Updated and I see it and will report if any issues-pretty sure there won't be
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Beta 2.1.4e

In this beta version, you will find long-time requested apps/backups tagging (and filtering).

It is only available in apps and backups tabs. Filtering using top-right button is now opening a dialog allowing to filter by installed app (system/user), behavior (screen/rotate/etc) and backup information (up-to-date, to-backup, to install).

The drawback of this is that filtering by system/user apps is no longer a one-click operation and requires at least 3 clicks, but offers more filtering options.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Hello,

Just to let you know, half of your feature request is in latest beta. You can add labels (called tags in app) to apps and backups. Will add an option in scheduling to select specific tags.

ohh wow so nice , why did i find it so late ...

the apps manager is the best , and it even has some functionality from "appsettings"

what i dont like is the magisk module which gets installed automatically , , because its out of controll for the user , he doesnt know what is virtualized and what is not and editing files becomes a problem ... a write to system mode would be welcome

the build prob function is a little buggy as it will always revert , thats why i disabled the magisk module

i slight idea to make the permissions page better would be to add a "never used/ last used at ..." for the permissions view like "appopsXposed re"
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Thanks for your feedback.

The magisk module has been done that way to make it more-or-less transparent to users and to avoid modifying the /system partition if magisk is installed.

It's indeed installed/used automatically for build.prop modifications, font and boot anim installation, removing system apps (without uninstalling them) and installing the system helper. Might be used for thermal config changes, but I haven't seen a supported kernel in a long time.

I'll look into that build.prop bugs asap. Any other issues when using the magisk module?

I'm not sure how to access used state for permissions, but I'll look into it.
[Android Apps and Games] Ulf3000:
ok the build prop bug is as follows:

i load a preset -> reboot-> previous presets and/or self added/moddified values are gone ...

---------------------

the used state probably exists in appops manager - but only for those which get requested through appops ? theres also appopsx on the fdroid store , maybe you can copy some code from this prog ...

----------------------------------------------

a question , do i still need afwall ? do you use the same approach as afwall or something faster (applying the rules) .... is the 3c version already loading the rules before boot through exposed ? is 3c and afwall clashing ?

--------------------------------------------------

bug2:

ok and i see that the settings dont work at all , completly freezing the ui , im on samsung s7 oreo stock

bug3 or feature request (i dont know really lol) :

the open with menu doesnt open for files in the /etc and several other folders , opration failed toast message is shown
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
I don't know how to apply firewall rules with xposed, maybe Android firewall have a config file that is applied on boot.

App can apply firewall rules in init.d (on devices/ROM supporting init.d), or on boot. Doubtful there's anything faster than this, being applied before Android UI starts.

Android firewall uses named rules, so there's no clash per se. however if you block an app in afwall, you won't be able to unblock it in 3C.

What settings are you referring to?

This will be fixed in next update, thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Ulf3000:
im reffering to the settings tab of 3c ...

uhhm im loading through apkpure , can you tell me which is the latest release , maybe i have an eralier ?

and how does crystalize work ? is it similar or the same as greenify, just instantly? just saying its the only thing which stopped that ****ty instagram from background usage , thanx !!!

EDIT: installed latest version and everything is fine , no settings lag ...

crystalize basically saved my phone performance -> even though i had disabled/frozen a few samsung apps like skmsagentservice and samsung setupwizard , they would still be enabled and establish connections all the time, crystalize now keeps them shut down ..

also i have a cutom version of instagram , i think it was a rogue app lagging down my system .. becasue after crystalizing and a few other apps , my phone is smooth AF

and thank you so much for this app, it even has a tasker inbuilt kind of

-----------------------------------

an idea to make the app manager better:

i have given gboard the permanent ( stay in memory ) and little higher priority ( keep the keyboard in memory makes the phone much smoother), also exdialer .. may be this could be reflected in the apps list with a small icon or text

---------------------------------------

question :

would it be possible to make a 4th crystalize state, where only the startup of an app is crystalized ?

but when i exit with home button it stays running ?

lots of apps should never start in the background because i dont need them often, but when i need them, i probably need them even through display off times ..

------------------------------

i dont have google playstore , can i just paypal you? , i wanna support this app and get the pro version

-------------------------------

edit3: is your module compatible with edxposed ? im on oreo and still use xposed , but i wanna try edxposed ..

[Android Apps and Games] AlkaliV2:
Awhile back through email I requested for you all the add intelliplug and two releases later, there it was. I personally had thought you all had outdone yourselves. However, I plugged in my headset today and discovered--

I can control fauxsound settings too!

You all have the best app on the market and anyone that is even remotely considering Pro, don't hesitate--buy it. You will love it and use it more than you will ever imagine. Having FSTrim available after several app installs and removals makes this app invaluable and keeps my system running smooth. I also accidentally discovered that you can disable services within applications (like Google Play Services on Lollipop). I stumbled on that today after owning 3C Toolbox Pro for about two years. Not to mention that this is the only backup app I use for my apps, SMS, and call data. Your support team and app are outstanding. Thank you for your continued support here and through email including feature requests. I don't think very many people know how many devices you all go through to ensure compatibility.

Do you have the original PNG for the recycle? Removing the black background will surely leave a lot of unwanted artefacts. Is this image copyright-free?

Im running toolbox pro for a while and using most all of it except task manager but what is System tuner pro. Whats the difference? System tuner pro has a fresh new update also.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
System Tuner is part of the toolbox, focused on system tweaking: CPU, system, apps. It lacks battery, network and device managers as well as control popups and widgets. Toolbox is the integration of all other apps I've made to date, listed in OP and a lot more that were possible because of this integration, starting with the device manager that takes advantage of battery monitor, system tuner and controls (toggles).

Toolbox update is still pending testing as I've made the jump into Android Studio and I just want to make sure it's safe. Probably this Friday after work.
[Android Apps and Games] leonardoroza:

Question: Tweaks

I am curious if uninstalling the app would revert the tweaks made. Am i right in assuming this? :)
[Android Apps and Games] vishalssalwan:
I just want to ask, that is the updated version of 3c toolbox has the crystallize functionality in it, for lollipop Roms? I have been using greenify since a long time, but the crystallize functionality seems to outdo the Greenify, so would love to make a jump to it, if it is supported in the lollipop. Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] stas333:
i have noticed that i can't change individual app permissions on my nexus 6 lollipop 5.01
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Most of them yes, however note that Android does not provide uninstall procedures. It just removes the files and folders it has created for the app during installation.

If you want to remove all tweaks, go in app settings active tweaks and use top item to reset everything.

It is 'already' there but was made inactive in a previous update. Next update will unlock this. Hopefully I'll be able to make the update by the end of the weekend.

You might be able to activate it from app active tweaks settings, having the app module not enabled or if xposed app is not yet installed. It should then display an entry to install Xposed framework which opens a popup with a button 'Show'. Tap this button to activate all xposed features within the app.

Task Manager

A question. When i go to task manager under tools and click an app like google Chrome it says mid way down "Prio" and a slider next to it saying hi and low at each end with a box to the right uncheck. Im assuming prio means priorty but what does moving the slider from the midway point to high do and what does the box that can be checked mean? Make it active. Im on a never ending quest to stop chrome from relloading pages for no reason when i have 200mb of ram available. I just downloaded app settings xposed so keep a few apps resident in hopes launcher redraws will be less and keyboard will open faster. Ive mastered every part of 3c toolbox pro except task manager and crystalize options. So please give me some info on my question above im excited for a answer.

You mentioned in an update new oom settings up to 512mb. Are the oom settings currently

In app also for phones up to 512mb ram. I'm talking about the presets. My device is a 1gb ram device and just cant seem to hit the sweet spot. Im currently experimenting with 150, 130, 110, 24, 16, 8 in hopes touchpal my keyboard will never be closed since its a secondary application. kitkat changed alot with how apps close and when and its stupid so im trying to combat that. What would you suggest oom settings for a 1gb device. Im a heavy internet user and like to have a few tabs open at a time and go to other apps and back to the browser. Im only a heavy multitasker with internet i dont keep alot open just my chrome or opera tabs that always reload.

Thanks

Josh
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
The prio in task manager is for configuring the cpu scheduling priority of the app. The higher the priority the more cpu the app will be given. For more information check the linux niceness, this exactly what it configures. Note that higher priority means lower niceness value (down to -19).

New oom settings are primarily for 2 and 3 GB devices. The higher the oom the more apps get killed. for your need you probably want to lower the oom as much as possible. Also you could configure the autokill feature in active tweaks settings (both screen off/on and low memory conditions) and including a few apps you dont often use to help reclaim memory in favor of apps you frequently use. However please nite any browser consume a huge amount of memory and is likely to be killed under low memory conditions.

Ive received queries to build a feature to make apps resident to prevent the OS from killing them. I suppose this would be helpful for your need.

[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Just tested on Android 10, got the notifications fine too. So, it’s likely that the app is not excluded from battery optimizations or not allowed to start on boot. Depending on which OS you run it could be any of those or both.

[Android Apps and Games] smithylovestouchpad:
Hi 3c,

Have you ever used Novacom to look at a battery's status/capacity? I've attached a screenshot of two commands on my HP TouchPad. Would be interested in your insight on the value of the feedback from Novacom.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Hellboy4:
Now my optimization work. But 3c always delete my ex kernel manager. How to stop this ? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Never used a Novacom. That said the values are those found in various kernel files, mainly the current is of interest which can be found in kernel files and since Android 6 in standard API.

What do you mean deletes ex kernel manager? Which optimization are you referring to, APKs I suppose? The process of optimizing APKs will -only if needed- zip-align APKs and replace original one. Is ex kernel manager available on play store?

Best is to run the optimization to reproduce the issue and send a support request so I can look at logs.

This would create a possibly very long list of dates, like the calibration tab. I feel it would be pretty unreadable over multiple columns. Maybe we could start with a line showing last used/changed date?
[Android Apps and Games] smithylovestouchpad:
I have been sparring with a guy in another thread who claims that only using Novacom to inquire to the A6 Controller Chip on the battery for the capacity of the battery is the only valid method of determining the battery's capacity. He basically states that what BMW does is not accurate and is useless because it only gets it's info from Android and not the Controller Chip. Only the guy who develops the app knows how it does it's magic, that's you. If I had thought I would have posted a screenshot of what BMW was reporting as the "estimated" capacity and it is within a few percentage points of what Novacom gets from the Controller Chip. He doesn't get that determining a battery's health/capacity is a process of collecting a variety of different data to make that determination and not taking one static reading from the battery. I've used BMW for years and trust it's function.

Keep up the good work.

Question, you stated that BMW gets it's current readings from the kernel files, where do they get the info?
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
That depends on each device/manufacturer/Android versions. Android API reports current readings from those files anyway, or nothing when manufacturer didn't do his home-work which is very rare nowadays.

There are also kernel files reporting battery capacity, some are just hard-coded, some are updated, but it can be quite inaccurate, and with recent restrictions only available to rooted devices. I intend to add a line in calibration to show kernel-reported capacity, when available.

Most common path for battery data is here: /sys/class/power_supply/battery
[Android Apps and Games] smithylovestouchpad:
Most common path for battery data is here: /sys/class/power_supply/battery[/QUOTE]

Yes, I see capacity, charge_full, charge_now, current_now, health, present, status, technology, temp, type, uevent, voltage_now.

I gather that you query these items to get data for BMW. Where do these item draw their information from?

This is now available in beta 2.1.6.
[Android Apps and Games] 白い熊:
[MENTION=253258]3c[/MENTION] can you enable backing up the apps' data cache? Maybe as a toggle in settings.

For some apps this would be extremely useful — for instance I have an image management software that stores online picture previews in it's cache — I need it to be backed up and then restored on restore — so as not to reread the pics from the web manually after a restore…

Many thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Thanks for your request. A checkbox will be added in next update to optionally include cache content.

EDIT: Option is available in beta 2.1.7.
[Android Apps and Games] 白い熊:
It works. :@)

I have one more request, not directly related to backup — but in play when backing up.

You know how due to historical poor implementation reasons some directories will be created by the system to all removable storages? For instance the Android directory with data etc subdirectories will be created on the micro SD card, every USB inserted etc.

Currently, the only way to overcome this oh to create an “Android” file in the SD root…

This is what I do. Now, if you have this, the toolbox won't back up any app — it will say “Operation failed” on each backup.

Could you fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
The problem is, due to same historical implementations, this path is used to store data by the toolbox, data that needs to be accessible easily by users and most apps, it's used to store a lot of things, starting with support files, crash dumps, widgets settings, CPU settings, gamma settings, etc...

And for technical reasons (cache files under /data/data/.../cache directory are getting the wrong security context when copied there using root!), it's also used to cache files during various operations, including backup and restore. Any copy operations requiring a temporary files are copied there for the same reasons. For example if you copy a root-only file to a network share, the app needs a temporary non-root file to be able to copy it. Using a temporary file under /data/data/.../cache gets the wrong security context which requires fixing and slows down the operation dramatically. For example a small data backup containing a 100 files could go from 10 seconds to several minutes to perform.

Long story short, it's going to be very hard to change this. And will cause a lot of issues on various Android versions.

Now, this directory structure is only created on internal storage (/sdcard) and external SD card if any, but I've never seen it created under USB OTG cards.
[Android Apps and Games] 白い熊:
This is clear. I just assumed tmp files etc. could use the /sdcard/ internal storage, so this directory on the external SD would not be necessary.

And yes — I'm on Samsung's Pie implementation — and it does this for all USBs you plug in too… Ugh.
[Android Apps and Games] 白い熊:
The cache backup is off by default. But when I select the “Set as default” option during backup with cache backup toggled to “on”, it should set the cache backup to “on” for future operations, no?

It doesn't do that currently, so I have to always manually toggle the cache backup to “on”…
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Yep sorry. This should be fixed in beta 2.1.7b
