[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 160lightning:
As luckyrumo points out these apps 'APK Organise' and the 'ZipMe' you recommend may well need updating to work with Android 5..... ZipMe hasn't been touched since 2013 according to the 'last updated' info.

I have Titanium Backup free version and tried using the backup app + data in batch prefs menu prior to having to do a wipe and clean install of CM12.... but when I reinstalled the Titanium backup app it failed to show the backups that were made previously and supposedly stored on my sd card along with everything else that has never been affected on the sd card. during ROM installations and associated full wipes... I think the backup disappeared when the app was wiped... I can't think of any other logical explanation....? I wonder if the paid version makes a difference...?

One particular app I use is Call Meter 3G which keeps track of my available contract free minutes by way of progress bar homescreen widget tracking any given monthly period and of course it does so by logging all my calls,messages and data use (tho I get unlimited data on my plan so that is not important). Because of the sheer volume and complexity of all the settings to get this app customised to work with my carrier plan it's a pain to have to set-it all up again when re-installing apps after flashing a custom ROM... and without the call logs you will always be starting part way thru a month so it won't be accurate until the bill cycles and a new month begins.

If I can get MultiROM working (no luck so far) having a one click install for apps and customised settings will make life much easier as I plan to try out ALL available ROM's alongside my primary. I only have one device at this stage so MultiROM is a no brainer for me... If I could just get it to install !!!!!

i also on CM 12.1 Lollipop 5.1.1... (Weekly 5 - JustArchi)

and i restored the apps + data (whatsapp + messages etc.) from CM 11 to CM 12.1 with no problems...

as i installed CM 12.1 in CWM, at restart system, i was asked for fixing root... i have choosen "yes"

for APK Organize choose root access for apps + adb in developer options and activate debug mode. should work, worked for me...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] New Life:
Guys i need a help here i flashed official rom for s4 i9500 , and i did efs backup ,,

after finishing flashing i cant get any signal and null/null IMEI .. now how to restore efs folder ??

anyone can help
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
My guess is your were on lollipop and flashed kitkat.

Flash a lollipop modem and your imei is back.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
If you did a backup then you should be able to restore that backup using the same method. Eg: If you used an app, that app should be able to restore the efs folder.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The problem with the EFS folder on the latest versions of Android is that it doesn't contain the IMEI, last time I checked. The IMEI is now stored in hidden partitions, which is why when it comes to backing up this important stuff I recommend Wanam's EFS Backup tool from the Play Store. Not only does it back up the EFS folder, but also backs up those hidden partitions as well as the modem..

In this instance however, Lennyz1988 I believe has the right answer.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] monte22:
Flashed it With slim gapps normal (http://209.95.39.164/Gapps/Lollipop/5.1/ )

Boots up normal

Normal things (Calls , SMS, Wifi mobiledata working) working. Kindly test Bluetooth and other connection features as I didn’t test on this initial setup

camera Working

GPS not working.

Overall UI is dark so no need of a dark material theme for those who prefer dark.

Thanks [MENTION=5998360]rap_turkez[/MENTION] for this rom.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] eldoggor:
Thanks for this new ROM, can anyone confirm if GPS is not working? Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] monte22:
DUde seriously and this is just the first page in this thread. read previous posts.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] eldoggor:
That´s why i asked, i said CONFIRM since only one person said it wasn´t working. Just relax, life is only one to live with anger. :good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rap_turkez:
yes, it is so stable with stock kernel.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Thank you. will now flash it. Hope I'll stay with it. As much as I like flashing roms, I also don't like to restore settings and restore previously installed apps.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I've tested it, and I have those issues:

1. The most important thing: the GPS doesn't work.

2. I can't find how to set the weather to be in Celsius.

3. I can't find where to use the AOSP style of the OS (not the black style). I'd prefer if it was optional. Is there maybe a theme for the AOSP style?

4. could be nice to be able to set what long clicking on the back button would do.

5. I think the display density text is wrong . XXXHDPI is way different than 320 DPI . It should be XHDPI instead.

About battery, it worked well, but sadly I think I will try other roms. Will watch this one for new versions though.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rap_turkez:
Why have You choseed validus if You want white aosp Style? Lol
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Why not? I've tried a lot of roms. Just because the screenshots show a black theme doesn't mean that you have to use it. Could be optional or just what the rom developer uses.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scorpionea:
The same argument about black theme as default one was in note 2 forum,its very simple if u don't like it then don't use it..from what I have seen they will not switch to white theme or make black optional..please don't take this personally just telling u what I have seen from note 2 forum about validus rom.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AndroidDeveloperLB:
It's not just because I don't like it (I could get used to it), but it's just not nice to do such a thing.

Also, the default theme of Material is white and not black, so a lot of apps (including of Google and I think I've noticed even built in apps) are still white, so it's inconsistent and weird (because I can see black and white styles, sometimes at the same time).

Do you know perhaps of a theme on the play store that reverts to the normal style?

Anyway, I've moved to another rom since I want to have the GPS working. Sorry.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Scorpionea:
Its they choice to have whatever rom they want and how it will look like,I understand u very well and it should be maybe optional but nothing will change that.

Well there is raom (cm12 theme) that is pretty close to stock white theme (on play store)

Personally I like black more then white background[emoji12]
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Bi0haZarD:
FYI black themes conserve way too much battery juice on amoled displays...and the display is the no.1 power hungry component on our beloved GT-I9300.

Sent from my KK GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AndroidDeveloperLB:
True, but that's what Google has chosen as the default one (which is too bad), and the black theme is shown only on certain things, like the settings and the notifications.

Not on all other apps.

Some people also prefer the black theme. That's why I've even added this choice on my app ,which actually started from a black theme, but when the default choice has changed, I've also changed my app and made the white one the default, and the black one as optional.

Changing the wallpaper helps much more than changing the rest of the components (notifications and settings), as it is shown much more frequently than them. Here's what someone has found about it (link here):

Thank for the work.

Sono veramente felice per questa ROM ma sanza ICoyote (uso giornaliere) è un peccato.
