Thanks. When I tried sending that directly to Gmail it failed saying something about an empty file, but I saved the 10 logs and manually emailed them.

The app seems to run, but my widgets aren't working and I keep getting notified that 3C Is crashing. I have noticed other "odd" behavior from my phone today, not sure if 3C is causing it or "it" is causing an issue with 3C. I will attempt to downgrade to prior version.

(Downgrading to 2.9.6g appears to have fixed the issue)
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Empty file doesn't mean it failed. I need the crash files to solve this.

If widgets are not working and considering the UI is not crashing it's likely one of the widget data that fails to load.

In any case sending a support request should help fix this as long as the crash files are included.

You can find those in /sdcard/Android/data/ccc71.at.free/support.

So far I haven't received any file? Did you add a ref to this thread/post?
[Android Apps and Games] rsngfrce:
With 2.6.9g installed now, the reporting works, but these aren't the logs I expect we want. I just emailed you again and referenced this thread. The logs from 2.7.0d are attached in a zip file. I can't really read them, but they do show a widget crash I believe. Thanks.

(Widgets are working after downgrade)
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Got the files, thanks. Indeed widgets are crashing because of lack of permission, new restrictions enforced by Google since beginning of November, for which I didn't pay attention:

This permission is supposedly automatically granted on Android 12, and requires user activation on Android 13.

Please try 2.7.0f published minutes ago (allows time for Google review), which should solve your issue.
[Android Apps and Games] rsngfrce:
I will watch for an update and let you know. Thanks!

(2.7.0f is running without issue so far.)

Currently I cannot find the battery statistics "on battery". I only see "since boot", "since last measure" and "since reference". What happened?

Data: Xiaomi mi 10 ultra (cas)

Android 12, Pixel Experience.

I know Google locked down tons of stuff, but to measure "since on battery" should be easy for 3cToolbox to do?

Edit: OK, I found a way if I enable markers.
[Android Apps and Games] linom:
How can we get to view Partial and Kernel wakelocks? I have an S22U on A13 (OneUi 5). I remember using the app a couple of years ago wherein I could see the app breakdown. Other battery monitoring apps have this advanced steps enabled though adb permissions. Is there a way to give adb permissions for enabling advanced battery stats?
[Android Apps and Games] Zaxx32:
I haven't seen any ADB perms for 3C at all...bummer cuz it's an awesome one-for-all app!!

I use Battery Guru, a free app w/adb perms and is a great batt. app. with wakelocks and numerous doze settings/tweaks and much more.
[Android Apps and Games] linom:
True. Battery Guru gives those and more with mAh breakdown for each app. However it's UI is not up to the mark especially the scrolling of wakelocks section and again the dev is asking too much for a simple battery app.

I bought 3C over 5 years ago but stopped using it since Android 10 as the battery usage details were skimped. I am sure 3C, the dev would help us enable those advanced stats using adb. Except for the battery section, the rest of the app is phenomenal even without root.

3C should really look in to this and compare it with BBS, GSAM and Battery Guru. Enabling adb with detailed stats and current usage would make me switch instantly.
[Android Apps and Games] cbomb1337:
In the app manager when we search can U make it so the apps searched show up and makes the non searched apps disappear like it's filtered. Also can we get a search inside the app where U select activities providers recievers and services and also like a mass option to search them stuff on mass and blocking them in 1 search and click for all user /system apps. Take a look at the app called app manager on GitHub it's rooted and is similar to this app manager but has some bits that are better. Faster app list loading then I can scroll faster. 3c is a pain with loading of app list takes to long. Although ur app manager is nice inside the part with activities and all that being small Fonts I can view more then the other app manager but that 1 has really good search functions which make it nicer to use on mass blockings and general searching components it also has a backup restore for that part to incase U mess up maybe have revert function per app and mass. The clear cache option doesn't work it ask for accessibility and it takes me there and there's only 3c usage limit in the accessibility options so I enable it and try clear cache and the accessibility message pops up again .Also i think the task manager filter by percent and time is clunky like not total time and percent but the other 1 it resets every second and doesn't build up the timer or percent from when that filter is selected or task manager is opend. If you have the time can we get a material theme upgrade the app looks like olden day dos every app now looks like win 11 but this 1. Also maybe remove some of the features not needed on newer phones. I don't use backup because there's better alternatives and maybe remove system manager for newer phones it seems useless I don't ever open it. The terminal also never worked to good for me . I tried it many times and it hardly worked with most commands i had to use termux maybe fix that up to. Maybe remove usage to for newer phones we already got them stats. And device manager ive never used either maybe remove that to for newer phones. And maybe some kernel mods like fkm has and the special kernel settings for power saving that clean slate configuration has. This app is crazy out dated from 10 years back. Not up to date with the latest kernels and features of new phones. Thanks hope you stick with ur app. I haven't seen a upgrade I like though for maybe 8 years. The app hasn't changed at all expect there's less battery statistics so I don't look at that setting at all. I do like your battery history part though. Maybe instead of the settings for everything being seperate have the settings for each part inside the part like task manager settings U access it from the task manager top right corner instead of having to back out and go to the mass settings option and alter stuff then go back out and then go to task manager to view what was changed. Things like that would be good as mate. If U update lots of stuff in sure new people would want to try this but atm there's free alternatives for like everything the app does and they do it better.
[Android Apps and Games] BEDBOI2:
I found a bug in naming: "Zip and send" a folder from 3C File Manager, 3C gives a popup to rename it if you want, rename it, share it on Google Drive:

on Drive there is only "Shared using 3C All-in-One Toolbox"

this file doesn't have any extension (".zip"; actually on download, it appears, but it's weird since the other files I have on Drive do show the extensions)

even when opening it, there isn't the name you used.

Thank you for the attention.
[Android Apps and Games] Teracotta:
this app doesn't support Android Jelly Bean or ICS, why lie dev?
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
You can use 3C Companion available here, that does the ADB perms and a lot more: https://3c71.com/3cc

All but battery stats access which ADB perms is not enough on recent Android versions

FWIW one of my app was permanently banned for mentioning ADB! So I don't put any reference to that anywhere.

The stats tab in battery manager gives you mAh breakdown for each app as well.

There is filter button for that purpose (2 actually, one instant, one with detailed filtering capabilities), while the search button is used to... search, not filter.

There is already a filter button in activites/providers/etc in app's detail tabs.

I have about 200 user apps installed, and 400+ system apps and app loading takes couple of seconds, except the first time. Couple of seconds because my backup folder is on a network folder, other than that it's instant listing all apps and loading lots of other information in background, including app storage, current/backup versions, install/backup dates, etc, and all other settings which can be changed later. Not sure what can actually be improved.

Is this app manager on github available on play store? any link cause app manager is too generic to find something useful.

I tried a zip on drive path and it created a .zip file. Not sure why you want to send to your Drive while you could simply copy the zip to your drive directly.

Note that drive uses document titles and if you do zip and send using email that's the title of the email while the attached file is the .ZIP file created.

The "bug" if any is on Drive side which doesn't take the file name but the sharing title, which is provided without any information about the destination. OS does the work behind the scene.

About 3rd bullet, the name of the file on drive is whatever name you put in document title.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Tried battery Guru right now and ok the UI is kind of nice, but not convenient in any way.

It's capacity estimates is completely wrong, by a very large amount.

It shows incorrect mAh breakdown, as seen on below screenshots taken 2 seconds appart.

And last but not least running dozens of process for who know what purpose, see other screenshots.

One sure thing I'll keep using my app on all my devices and my family devices.

You don't have to scroll all over the place to find information, and it's reliable and well optimized.

EDIT: And i forgot to mention my apps don't bull**** users about using this or that permission while it can no longer be used since Android 12, no matter what.
[Android Apps and Games] linom:
After installation, when I cick on 'Proceed', it says 'waiting for device' and then the app crashes. Is this due to Windows 11? I have tried both versions and installed .NET as well.

Update: Tried the same on another system with Win10. It crashes there as well. Do you have any updated version or a solution to this?

Also the 'stats' tab in the 3C app doesn't show the mAh (using S22U Snapdragon on Android 13).
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Not Windows 11, I'm using that version and never seen it fail so far !? Are the ADB drivers installed for your device? Maybe plug the device before starting the process.

Same story I don't get it to crash ever, but have seen users reporting such infrequent crashes. Maybe try running app as elevated ? It should extract ADB tools on local folder, so make sure to run the tool from a writable folder.

I'm on Android 13, Z Flip 4, and I get mAh in stats tab of app's manager. Fact is, that's the default being shown. It used to be possible to tap on the value to switch, but it's not.

However you can do that from history tab/list, tapping the %/h column to switch over to mA / mW. It will switch as well in batt stats.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
I won't be doing ad blocking, that's not allowed on Play Store, and that's bad for developpers including me.

App loading is 2 seconds for me because I have backups on cloud storage, otherwise app's list is instantaneous. So 5 seconds is like you run on a 10-year old device? Even my kids low-end 4-years old are loading the list in a snap. !?

Is it the "process details" page you've attached a screenshot for that's taking 5 seconds delay ? If so there's definitely something blocking the app at some stage, any missing permission or App Ops being blocked ?

Concerning CPU, my app not only checks what's written to governor instantly after writing it, but also update it in real-time. While other app don't and just show what users have set.

I'll check the boot animations if I can integrate those in the app.

I found zram options to be useless, tested on a few devices, and not only phones were getting slightly slower and didn't quite allow running more apps. I'm still not convinced it's a good idea, just hype that will degrade overall storage performance.

mAh drain may show 0 when screen's off time/data is not reliable enough. The idea here is to provide accurate data, not some bull**** to pretend to do things better than others.

You mentioned read-write issue many times, so I'm not sure what you are referring to? In explorer, read-write issue, then for boot animations? I'm using boot anim on a Samsung (different than other device) and then on some Xiaomi/OnePlus devices just fine, it uses Magisks as all Android recent versions are now systemless and system cannot be written to and I find this a pretty good thing to avoid messing one's device. Other than that I don't undestand those issues?

Now, I can surely add writable-folder inside 3C's magisk module, probably from explorer, long-pressing a sub-folder of /system would bring options like "Make writable", "Make read-only" depending on actual setting. However that might have to copy a large amount of data depending on folder!

Obviously that'll require a reboot to be activated and possibly some warning if too much data must be copied, or limited to x MB of data ?!

The boot animation tab uses magisk to write to it. However I remember stumble on a device where boot animations couldn't be changed manually, there were stored in /vendor and sym-linked to /system and even though boot anim was overwritten on reboot, it was not used.

I'll have to run more tests again to find if I still have such device handy.

Concerning battery history, that depends on which setting you use, however for reliability reasons, historical data is logged when screen's turned on/off, or device's plugged/unplugged. Then history can be set to only show % changes, or all recorded data.

EDIT: I believe you mentioned App Ops, and that's something I'm interested in adding and forgot about it since years.

App has a bootloop fix in case of bad CPU settings, but didn't find disabling its own magisk module ever needed. Are you referring to auto-disabling 3C module or all of them?
[Android Apps and Games] linom:
So I tried running the app with elevated permission and it still crashed. However when I run the core app with 'troubleshoot compatilbity' settings in windows, it give me an option to run under Windows 8 compatible mode. When I click on proceed it says ' cannot create temporary adb files..." (screenshot attached). I do have adb installed on the primary C drive, as well as all Google & SAmsung USB drivers.
[Android Apps and Games] cbomb1337:
I tried on cos 12 and oos 11 the option in ur app for boot animation fails for me. Edit it didn't work on the pixel 6 I got back either.
[Android Apps and Games] 白い熊:
@3c I have a weird problem - think again it's something plain but can't see what could be causing this behavior.

I've reflashed my phone clean - set up TWRP.

Now whenever I restore an app in the Toolbox from backup it "keeps" its data and setting until the reboot - i.e. if I install clean the app from the Play Store I see it with the default setup - then restore the backup, open it, and I see it with the backed-up settings. Now reboot, open the app - it happens to all - and it's again with the default settings.

Thought it was with 3c Toolbox's permissions - but all are given.

In Magisk - the namespace is global.

Can't think of much else.

Do you have an idea what could be causing this behavior?

EDIT: I just had Afaneh on Telegram propose that he thinks the difference is that the backup missed some files on backup due to the fact that I backed up the apps before TWRP flash — so /data was still encrypted. Now on restore it's unencrypted.

I'm gonna test this hypothesis now: back something up now that's already setup — then reset the app — restore the backup and reboot and see if it sticks.

EDIT 2: No — it isn't this. Still data lost on reboot. I've never seen such behavior before... What could it be?

EDIT 3: OK - it seems to be something with cache and external data — somehow it seems to have an effect on unencrypted data, I'm experimenting...

Final EDIT: So, for whatever reason – this is the only approach that solves the issue:

– restore a pre–unencrypted /data backup

– wipe cache

– backup the app again without cache and ext–data

– restore this backup

This way the app with its data and settings will survive a reboot.

I'm wondering what the hell is going on... An least it works though.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
The app is a standalone and will extract minimal ADB in its current folder (where you run it). I use it from a "standard" folder outside of root C: and program files. Can you try making a folder on a secondary drive (D, ...) or a folder without any particular permission. Plug your device before tapping 'proceed' or even running it?

Note that you can grant the permissions defined here: https://www.3c71.com/android/?q=node/2637

However it won't install a "special" binary to allow app to run ADB commands directly, allowing the app to uninstall system apps, collecting full process information and many other things.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Well, I must admit I've never seen or experienced such issue before and I believe my /data is encrypted (not sure how to confirm though). I currently have 5 devices rooted and restored apps with their data on all of them just fine... What is your device and what Android version are you using, maybe I can get my hand on a similar one?
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
What device do you have and what Android versions is it running? Following the boot animation link you provided I found it's dedicated to OOS 13 and that it links the boot animation from a /my_product folder. Can you check if it's within /system/my_product or at the root ?

I could implement a special path for OOS 13, but will have to check if it affects all Android 13 (and maybe 12 cause last time I saw it fail was not Android 13, but possibly a OnePlus device). Interestingly Samsung is using a different approach for years and that's still working.
[Android Apps and Games] 白い熊:
It's a Samsung Fold 4.

I'm sure your /data is encrypted — it's the standard, the only way it's unencrypted is when you flash TWRP and format /data in it — anyhow that's the whole point of TWRP, so that you can have system full backups etc.

If it's not apparent what the culprit could be — maybe it's not worth your time to investigate — I mean I got it to work, it's just a very interesting behavior which I've never seen before.

Anyhow — was backing up everything as a matter of habit — this made me reconsider: what's the point of backing up the app's cache?

Also — on the Fold 4 there is not SD card — so the "External data" is also not needed to be backed up, no? Or does “External data” refer to /storage/emulated/0/Android ?
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Can you reproduce the failure and send a support request? It will contains logs that could show what fails for you.
[Android Apps and Games] phonetool:
Hello 3C,

I've been using your Toolbox app (and others before) and I'm very happy to run the pro version! Thank you for many years of service!

I have recently upgraded my daily phone from Pixle1 to Pixel4a5G. The new phone does not have LED notifications. There are many other phones with similar problems and several apps in the store to help. Have you thought about creating a new feature or app for this purpose?
[Android Apps and Games] bege10:
@3c Are you still around? No updates, no posts here, no reaction to support emails.
[Android Apps and Games] 3c:
Not really, Pixel 4 is getting old and haven't seen a device without LED notifications in years.

Yes still around, sorry for not replying any sooner.

Busy updating the 100+ notification icon packs and the unlock keys, to ensure they are still accessible on Play Store, following Google's mandatory minimum target SDK. Will have to do that every year or so! :8

Just published an update of the toolbox today, and moved the last one to production, which I completely forgot!
[Android Apps and Games] bege10:
I am glad to see you around again. 🙋‍♂️

I never thought there might be a smartphone without notification LED, but the latest Fairphone FP 4 is lacking it also.
[Android Apps and Games] rsngfrce:
Samsung Note20 Ultra 5G.

Android 13.

Recently, Android has begun to AGGRESSIVELY kill 3C Toolbox. I have it set to UNRESTRICTED battery usage. Android is putting it to deep sleep and setting it to RESTRICTED battery usage. I know of no way to prevent this?
[Android Apps and Games] paulpinecone:
Can't find a reference to this problem. Migrated to a Pixel 7, A13 with my Pro Key. When starting up, All-in-One just spins saying "...loading..."

Might be file permissiony issues. Sensitive Backups is working but it had to create its own folders.

Tried reinstalling. I don't know how to provide diagnostics since it never gets anywhere. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] rsngfrce:
LONG TIME 3C Toolbox Pro user...

I occasionally have the same issue "lately"when running 3C Toolbox, mainly the Task Manager which I use frequently, just a spinning "loading". I force quit, then it restarts fine.
[Android Apps and Games] rsngfrce:
WHY does 3C Toolbox store widget settings in a folder that is inaccessible to non-rooted phones?

Samsung support was remotely investigating the issue I am having with Samsung Device Care putting 3C Toolbox to sleep and restricting its battery usage. They cleared the 3C data without asking me and told me I wouldn't loose anything, but OF COURSE, ALL permissions were revoked and I LOST all my saved widget settings.

If 3C isn't going to support this app anymore, which it currently appears clear to me that he isn't, then he shouldn't still be selling the pro key.
[Android Apps and Games] 白い熊:
I am glad you are here! I was also afraid you'd left. :O)

On a side note I've been having the following issue for some time now:

Some apps get frozen on reboot. Only happens when 3c is not frozen - so it's done by 3c. It freezes the apps a couple of minutes after booting.

I have this happen with one critical app - that displays overlays - so every time it's frozen it loses Accessibility privileges, so after reboot I have to manually unfreeze it, then allow it privileges in settings etc. It's very problematic...

Seems to be associated with: 3C ⇨ Settings ⇨ Applications ⇨ Active tweaks ⇨ Startups/Events configuration

However - even disabling this option, it does it on reboot. Also - why would it think a reboot is an update of the app install?

The only way to overcome this that I've found, is not to have a 3c backup for the app, then it won't get frozen on restart.

I inspected - the settings.txt for the app, it's:

notif_disabled=false

firewall_blocked=true,true

disabled=

rotation=null

full_screen=null

screen_on=null

locked=null

crystal=null

perms=null

This however (the "disabled=") seems to be the case with apps both frozen and then backed up, and with non-frozen and then backed up. I see no difference.

Any idea of what might be happening and how to overcome it?

Many thanks :O)
