[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AntaresOne:
IMEI backup/restore tool for Samsung Galaxy S4 T-Mobile SGH-M919

Brought to you by AntaresOne​

​

NOTE: This is only for Galaxy S4 with Qualcomm Snapdragon 600, Galaxy S4 Active version is here, Exynos 5410 (GT-I9500) version is here.

To devs: modifications & redistribution are not allowed. Contact me before including my work or any part of it in your stuff.

Explanation

What is IMEI?

Wikipedia

Why should I backup it?

When you start to mod your phone, sometimes may happen that you lose it (a bad flash, a wrong mod...) and without your phone is like this. Shortly, you lose mobile network forever.

The Qualcomm variant of Galaxy S4 doesn't have IMEI stored in EFS as most people think, it's stored in another place. Partitions to backup/restore are 8, each is required by the system to have IMEI. These are: EFS (there is IMEI's country code), modemst1, modemst2, m9kefs1, m9kefs2, m9kefs3, backup and fsg. It doesn't do miracles, so if you lose IMEI and don't have a backup, you're lost.

Features

Complete IMEI backup

Autozipping of saved partitions

Installation

Download tool from the link below

Put the zip file in your sdcard

Reboot in recovery

Install zip from sdcard

Choose downloaded zip file

Reboot system

Usage

When installed, the "imeibkp" executable goes in /system/bin. Obviously root is a must. This is not an app, so to run it you must use Terminal Emulator. It's very user-friendly and n00b-approved (joking :laugh:), normally you shouldn't run into issues while using it.

Open Terminal Emulator

Write su and press enter (this is to obtain root access)

Invoke this tool by writing imeibkp and pressing enter

To restore just invoke again imeibkp

In case you want to export your backup, it is in /sdcard/IMEIBackup and called IMEIBackup.zip (Internal Memory on PC through USB connection)

If you change ROM you'll lose this tool (you'll not lose a backup already made), in this case just follow again Installation steps

Download

IMEI Backup tool is hosted on my AndroidFileHost

Is the efs and imei the same? Should I have backups of both the esf and iemi or just the imei?

This will automatically backup both. :)

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phatsnake:
Hi xda!

I've had my Nexus 6 for a little over 2 months and I've been suffering from a number of problems including:

- Phone randomly restarts.

- Occasional distortion in sound from alarm or ringtone.

- slow navigation and a sluggish experience overall.

Before I sent it to AT&T and request a replacement, I'm considering flashing the image provided by Google. Does that image with work my AT&T model? Maybe that will solve my problem? I think it will also get rid of the horrible and loud AT&T booting animation.

If for whatever reason it doesn't work I'd like to restore the AT&T image. Does anyone know where to find an official one? Is there a way to reset the setting in the phone that tracks whether or not I unlocked the bootloader and in turn would likely void my warranty?

Thank you!

[Galaxy Tab S General] narf03:
Noticed some members said that the tab doesnt work properly with some SD cards. So I would like to ask first b4 i waste money into something that i cant use.

I need a SD card with minimum capacity of 64GB, 128GB would be nice. And the read/write speed need to as fast as possible(slightly faster than what the tab can do should be ok).

Please suggest me 1, and let me know what i should avoid too when picking, thanks.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ashyx:
Did loads of research before buying this one.

Good reviews for this card. Excellent price and works very well. Take AMAZON reviews with a pinch of salt as they dont always relate to the actual product!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Bobtheagent:
Hope this helps. My Verizon note 3 kept screaming for updates. Download bloatware free and freeze the running application SDM. This is to keep your 4.4.2 with root. I honestly don't think your missing anything on 4.4.4, it's pretty gay and more then likley the developers on our side aren't going to mess with it, they will save it for Lollipop

Hello,

This is my first watch face, it's called Ball O'Clock. It tells time by stacking rolling balls. The cool thing about it is that it animates ball movements, dropping, rolling etc..

Since I am a new user, I cannot post the play store URL nor the youtube video, you can go to balloclock [dot] com to see the youtube video and the link to the play store

Hope you like it

Hi All,

Can I install stock Android Lollipop update to my Samsung Galaxy Tab2 7" 3G tablet ?

If there are any side affects then please point me to the CUSTOM ROM if available.

If Custom ROM (Lollipop) not available then point me to the latest stable ROM for my device.

Thanks.

Multi users for n9005 lollipop

I made zip files for multi users mod. Just flash in Recovery mod

and before flash multi users mod backup your file systemui file.

Also you can set manually codes below. open build.prob and write at the end of it.

# Multi Users

fw.max_users=3

fw.show_multiuserui=1

By the way : you can get some error while switching another user. Just ignore these and use your phone with new user. Maybe someone can solve this problem. don't forget to wipe cache and dalvik. Enjoy :)

Thank you so much [MENTION=3002844]filchi756[/MENTION]

I've installed the N900, but the phone was switched on. Beware n900 installation.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] and2:
You´ll get problems because you swap your build.prop with the one from N9005. What you can try is take your originale build.prop and copy at the end this

# Multi Users

fw.max_users=3

fw.show_multiuserui=1

Save and reboot.

Works in N900 stock lollipop, you need to manually add the code to build.prop as the OP instructed. Thank you man!

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] and2:
If someone uses the Multiuser mod and wants the user icon like in the pic can use the attached xml file and compare with his owen (or use it already). It is placed in SystemUI/Layout.

I´m not sure if it´s just a pic or should it be a switch. I guess it´s a switch but a can´t read smali :crying:

Decomplie SystemUI.apk. Open res/layout/status_bar_expanded_header.xml

in this line

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.MultiUserSwitch android:id="@id/multi_user_switch" android:background="@drawable/ripple_drawable" [COLOR="Red"]android:visibility="gone[/COLOR]" android:layout_width="@dimen/multi_user_switch_width_collapsed" android:layout_height="@dimen/status_bar_header_height" android:layout_alignParentEnd="true">

delede the red one so that it looks like this

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.MultiUserSwitch android:id="@id/multi_user_switch" android:background="@drawable/ripple_drawable" android:layout_width="@dimen/multi_user_switch_width_collapsed" android:layout_height="@dimen/status_bar_header_height" android:layout_alignParentEnd="true" >

than chang in this line the red

<FrameLayout android:id="@id/settings_button_holder" android:layout_width="@dimen/button_holder_width" android:layout_height="@dimen/button_holder_width" [COLOR="Red"]android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"[/COLOR]>

to the blue

<FrameLayout android:id="@id/settings_button_holder" android:layout_width="@dimen/button_holder_width" android:layout_height="@dimen/button_holder_width" [COLOR="Blue"]android:layout_toStartOf="@id/multi_user_switch"[/COLOR]>

Than compile and flash SystemUI.apk to the system. I think thats all. I hope i did not forget something because it´s 2 weeks ago.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] Deleted member 6115180:
I am sorry to bother you, but I would like some help. What should I add to my XML? Or is it safe to use yours on top of my ROM? I need to decompile something to use it or it's just a system folder? Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] and2:
I know i was to lazy :angel: .

Yes, you have to decompile SystemUI.apk. If your are on NL8 and have no mod in status_bar_expanded_header.xml you can swap them and compile it.

If not open status_bar_expanded_header.xml

in this line

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.MultiUserSwitch android:id="@id/multi_user_switch" android:background="@drawable/ripple_drawable" [COLOR="Red"]android:visibility="gone[/COLOR]" android:layout_width="@dimen/multi_user_switch_width_collapsed" android:layout_height="@dimen/status_bar_header_height" android:layout_alignParentEnd="true">

delede the red one so that it looks like this

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.phone.MultiUserSwitch android:id="@id/multi_user_switch" android:background="@drawable/ripple_drawable" android:layout_width="@dimen/multi_user_switch_width_collapsed" android:layout_height="@dimen/status_bar_header_height" android:layout_alignParentEnd="true" >

than chang in this line the red

<FrameLayout android:id="@id/settings_button_holder" android:layout_width="@dimen/button_holder_width" android:layout_height="@dimen/button_holder_width" [COLOR="Red"]android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"[/COLOR]>

<FrameLayout android:id="@id/settings_button_holder" android:layout_width="@dimen/button_holder_width" android:layout_height="@dimen/button_holder_width" [COLOR="Blue"]android:layout_toStartOf="@id/multi_user_switch"[/COLOR]>

Than compile and flash SystemUI.apk to the system. I think thats all. I hope i did not forget something because it´s 2 weeks ago.

is there a way to delete multiuser's data manually as when clicking setting icon of

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] blacque:
Okay noob here...please be patient, I just flashed the leak last night.i need to know if I need to be rooted to have multi user feature or do i just flash it unrooted as i am and itll work..which file to flash.thanks in advance .and if it's possible to delete it should it be buggy and not work well with other apps.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] kevinagt7:
I followed your guide, Users appeared in Settings. then I proceed to Guest, then my phone got locked and went to something like initial installation screen from Google.. I cannot proceed to input anything so I was stuck there. Then I locked it then opened the status bar from the lock screen, opened settings, and pressed home.. finally freed from that initial installation ****. The keyboard doesn't work on guest mode..
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] and2:
Yes, you have to install another keyboard. I use google keyboard for user profile.

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] blacque:
anyone ???
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] sxjg23:
I've found some problems after the mod was enabled:

1. After creating a 2nd user and switching to it, some apps don't work. The most important is the Phone app ,it crashes and I can't make or receive calls when being in the 2nd profile. As for some other apps that require root, they also don't work. It seems like the 2nd profile is not fully rooted or something.

2. After creating a 2nd user, and tapping on its Settings, it crashes and opens the same Settings screen again.

3. It seems like created users don't have the same privileges as the owner (1st user). Can I choose the type of user I want to create ?

Any ideas?
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] and2:
Phone and message won´t work and second user. This should be the reason why it´s not open for phones just for tablets. For root you have to go to the SuperSU settings and tick "Activate MultiUser". For app sharing i use an app from playstore called Multi-User App Share.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] and2:
Yes, you have to be rooted (or better your phone) because you have to write something in a system-file.
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] stormy_ugur:
+1 i agree with you. second users for use your phone like tablet and this is useful for children or secret works :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] stormy_ugur:
i said that you will get some error when switch to second user and ignore this. yes it seems users don't have same privileges as owner that's why i didn't use users mod. :)
