I'm on rooted stock and just did a backup, removed an app, then restored the app and it's data with no issue. Wonder what the limiting factor is here? Very interesting.

edit: somebody check menu > preferences > backup folder location. Mine's set to storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rayhaa281:
Hmm....Mine is

Mine's set to storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] iowabowtech:
So let us know how it goes when you try the directory I listed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rayhaa281:
Could not map the given root
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] MrWicked1:
Try not selecting the first app it's trying to restore. Leave the rest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rayhaa281:
I am not sure what you mean but I am only trying to restore visual voicemail so that is the only one I checked off. The reason I am trying to restore it is because ever since I removed it I get no notification that there is a voicemail. I am looking for the cassette notification in the upper left.

I am new to this and have been banging my head and searching for a remedy. Any ideas on how to just fet the damn icon back when I get a voicemail?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] iowabowtech:
You may not have a TitaniumBackup folder at that location. If not, add one and retry.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rayhaa281:
To this?

storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] iowabowtech:
Yes. Then redo your backup and try restoring again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rayhaa281:
And again, I'm sorry but I'm new. This location would be in Titanium of My Files? just don't want to screw it up.

---------- Post added at 02:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 AM ----------

It shows 450 backups under storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup

---------- Post added at 02:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 AM ----------

Ok...Found under Backup storage location 3 folders.

1) A red This folder is not writable.

2) 0

3) legacy

They both appear to have the same files in them but when I click on 0 then TitaniumBackup the line to the right of DETECT! goes to /storage/emulated/legacy/TItanium Backup. I can't figure out how to make it stay with /storage/emulated/0/TItanium Backup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Rafael4096:
Be careful here.

I just told TB to change the folder from /legacy/titanium backup to /0/titanium backup and it said it was moving all of my files to the new folder.

They are all gone now.....titanium cant even find them with a search.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rayhaa281:
Same thing just happened to me. FML.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Rafael4096:
Sorry. Tried to post before you did the same. :)

Funny....now when I select /0/titanium backup.....it reverts to /legacy/titanium backup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] iowabowtech:
Above the detect button, press on the word 'filesystem', select Filesystem Storage, navigate to storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup. Press 'use current folder' in lower right corner of screen.

Make a new backup? Suppose there could be some loss if you have missing apps and want them back. I'm not saying this is the silver bullet but most times I've had issues on a new device the culprit is the backup path. And mine is working great on the same vzw g6 so idk. Maybe to be on safe side, save a copy of the TiBu folder to the PC before attempting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Rafael4096:
Make a new backup? He was trying to restore one of his backed up files. Now he has lost them.

The only way for him to get it back is to restore the whole phone via Odin, or try a Flash. Flash gave me a soft-brick first time I tried it.

It took me 2 days to figure out that my home PC could not be used to restore this phone via Odin....even though I used it on my older S4 from this PC. I had to go to my office last Sunday and do an Odin restore from it.

This phone has more quirks than my last 3 phones combined. :) nothing works as planned for me....and I see I am not alone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rayhaa281:
Tried selecting file system, nothing happened. I can backup but the visual voicemail apk is what I need to I get voicemail notifications in the notification bar. That is what I am really looking to fix.

---------- Post added at 02:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 AM ----------

I think I saw your post about that Rafael. Not sure if I want to even go there. lol..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] iowabowtech:
Restore the phone via Odin for lost Tibu backups? They're just app backups man. Unless he's in a far different scenario than I'm understanding.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Rafael4096:
Its not a horrible thing to have to do. Something is weird with my PC. Have not heard of anyone else having the Odin problem I had. My problem is I really want to flash CleanRom, but I need to be able to get my phone back up and running before the next day......so I would have to stay late at work to get it all done since I cant do it from my home PC.

Been wondering if its because I have USB 2.0 ports on my home PC, but 3.0 on my work PC. Also, I run Windows 8.1 at home, but 7 at work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rayhaa281:
I could actually care less about the app. I am just looking for the old cassette tape notification for a voicemail in the upper left portion of the notification bar. That's it. Can't tell if someone leaves me a message now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Rafael4096:
Yes, restore the phone. He uninstalled the VM app via TB, this is why he was trying to restore that app via TB form his backup. Now he has no way to get it back.....unless you know another way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Rafael4096:
Yup. Lack of VM notification was my problem before; because I also uninstalled it. That is why I tried Flashing. When that soft-bricked my phone, that's when I tried Odin to stock.....and that's when I discovered my home PC problem. It was almost funny. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rayhaa281:
lol... It's more annoying than anything else. I have never flashed before so obviously I am reluctant to try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] iowabowtech:
If I know the exact name of the app, I can pull it and upload it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Rafael4096:
BTW....I tried something else while I was tinkering.

I used an APK extractor to extract system files, then tried installing them again. It didn't work. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Rafael4096:
Good on you for trying to help him! :)

Its called Voice Mail 3.8.25, or com.samsung.vvm

Still, I don't see how that will help him. If you send him a TB backup, he still wont be able to restore it.

If you send him the APK, I am not sure that will work since I was not able to install an extracted system APK.

The only way I can think of is if you can send him a file he can flash via Flashfire.....but I am too ignorant to know if that is possible and certainly too ignorant to know how to create such a file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rayhaa281:
Verizon Visual Voice Mail
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] iowabowtech:
I'm guessing the .apk itself won't quite cut it. There's a folder VisualVoiceMail in /system/app. Containing and odex, an art.xz and the apk. I'm assuming dropping that whole menagerie back into /system/app would do the trick but could be wrong I guess. I've never had issues restoring preinstalled system apps in the past but who knows with this phone I suppose. Everything seems slightly more tricky. ;)

Anyway, just making sure i'm on the right track with the app selection. I'll get it pulled and uploaded if so.

edit: ok just saw response above. On it. I'll try to do this at work, if not when i get home in a few hours.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rayhaa281:
Thanks. Wondering when the OTA goes out it will bring it back?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] iowabowtech:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/z1rm9ffsklokduv/VisualVoiceMail.zip?dl=0

Unzip, place entire folder and sub contents into /system/app. Using root explorer or similar, ensure that permissions are set to 0755. Might not hurt to reboot. Looks like there's a VVM folder that gets created on the sdcard also containing metadata.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Rafael4096:
You hit on something and I gave the idea a try.

I had removed the Allsharefilesharservice app via TB a little while ago in an attempt to test the idea of the different backup directory. I lost my TB backup in that process. But...I did extract the APK and still had that file.

Just now I placed that file in a new system folder I created, since removing the app also removed the original folder.

Rebooted and the app came back...as a system app too.

So, if you send him the APK, and if he creates a folder in /system/app/ called VisualVoiceMail, and places the APK there....

A reboot may bring it back. I would try it but I don't want to risk losing my voicemail notification tonight. Coward :) LOL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Rafael4096:
I have the feeling that updates may fail for you, since you modified things. Not sure though. I am still pretty ignorant here.

BTW....I suggest you stop using the FM app.

I use Root Explorer. It works well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rayhaa281:
Was afraid of that. Still learning. Lol.. I'll download Root Explorer. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] iowabowtech:
+1 on root explorer advice. BTW, I snuck in the download a few posts ago. They shouldn't expect real work from me here at work anyway when there's Android issues going on. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rayhaa281:
Outstanding. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Rafael4096:
LOL

You have to have priorities! :)

BTW... I removed Allshare again....and placed the APK in /system/ instead of recreating the allshare...folder....it worked too.

It doesn't recreate the lost folder, nor the Odex and the other file...but it appears its functioning correctly.

I learned something tonight!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rayhaa281:
Geeze... Ok... which Root Explorer do you use? Saw a bunch
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Rafael4096:
I use Root Explorer by Speed software.

I think it costs...but its worth it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rayhaa281:
Very good. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] iowabowtech:
Same. Its all I've used since the early days. Well worth the cost of admission.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Rafael4096:
Going to bed soon.

You may have trouble figuring out where to place the file. Hopefully iowabowtech can help you. :)

I wont be up much longer..... if I can sleep.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rayhaa281:
Yeah. I'm fading. Certainly not going to be toying with it tonight.

Thanks for all your help guys. I'll let you know what happens when I give it a whirl.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Rafael4096:
Me too, and I agree. Never had any problem paying for the apps I appreciate.....keeps those folks writing good software for us. Even if the free stuff is all I need, if they offer a paid version; I spring for it just to show my appreciation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Rafael4096:
Cool!

Thanks everybody!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rayhaa281:
Ok. So I downloaded, unzipped, and tried to move the files to that location but it gives me a read-only error. I assume it has something to do with the 0755 permissions but I have no idea how to change the permissions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Rafael4096:
You should be able to set permissions or change directory to read/write with the paid version of root explorer. Not sure which problem you are experiencing. Can work with you more this evening.......back to work now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] iowabowtech:
Toward the top(ish) of every screen in Root Explorer, there is a small button "mount R/W" which means mount read/write. You will need to utilize that in /system as root is required to play around there. Also be sure you've granted root access to Root Explorer via SuperSU or whatever root management app you are using.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rayhaa281:
That was the problem. Forgot to use the paid version. DUHHH!!!!! I'm a bonehead but....it seems to have worked!!!! Who's the man? You are!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Rafael4096:
To be clear........did this bring back vm notification?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rayhaa281:
It did!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Rafael4096:
Thats good to know. I wish there were an alternative to that app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] hejay:
So has anyone figured out why app restores are hanging? It seems to be limited to system apps in my case. When TB restores the app, it places just the apk in the system app directory, whereas all of the other ones are in their own folder with a nested arm64 folder inside. I'm thinking this has something to do with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] TML1504:
did you come to a conclusion with that?

I'm at the exact same stage of thinking, since I'm no longer able to restore system apps with titanium...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] bilestoad:
I'm absolutely unable to figure this out. I removed visual voice mail with titanium a while back and now have realized that I need it to provide voicemail notifications. I tried to restore the backup from titanium and it just hangs. I downloaded the visual voice mail from the link in this thread, copied it to my sdcard, and unzipped it. Then, using the paid version of Root Explorer that I love so much, I copied the VisualVoiceMail folder to /system/apps.

I reset the permissions to rwxr-xr-x for the VisualVoiceMail folder, and inside that folder I set the permissions of VisualVoiceMail.apk to rw-r-r-.

Is that the problem?

Also, I have the arm64 subfolder set to rwxr-xr-x, and the files inside it (VisualVoiceMail.odex.art.xz and VisualVoiceMail.odex) to rw-r-r-.

I'd appreciate any help here! Thanks.

hey are there supposed to be any files on the sdcard? there aren't.

all i get is "unfortunately visual voicemail has stopped"

[Moto 360] boone8576:
I really want to pick up a Moto 360 but I am undecided since I have to go through a metal detector every morning to get in to the office. I am wondering if the Moto 360 will set it off which means I'd have to take it off every day on the way in. Interestingly, my regular metal watches along with their metal bands do not set the detector off. However, my Galaxy S6 will. Anyone have experience with a Moto 360 and metal detectors?
[Moto 360] Deltastylez:
I think it will go off, since its 'almost' the same material as the GS6
[Moto 360] chaco81:
metal detectors are sensitive to the reaction caused by metal on their magnetic fields

the 360 is made out of stainless steel and other components, that may set it off, but it all depends on how sensitive the location has calibrated the machine

for example... go to TSA on airport, and it WILL set it off...

go to a local bank that has one when u walk in and it wont set it off.

i wouldnt base purchase on whether it will set it off or not.. im sure your workplace will have a tray you can place it on with your phone...

get a metal band clasp.. makes putting it ON/OFF very fast... like 1-2 secs
[Moto 360] aliyangohar4:
It depends on how sensitive the metal detector is. Most probably it will set it off
[Moto 360] dlotters:
Mine has never set off any metal detectors. I travel to Melbourne from Sydney every two weeks and it's fine going through security. I've also worn it through Hong Kong, Osaka and Tokyo security with no problems at all. I think you'll be fine unless that machine is super sensitive.

Edit: I should add that I have the leather band. I'd imagine that having the metal band would be enough to trip the detectors.

[Moto 360] mikejones13:
I've had no issue at all either with metal detectors. I was at the Colorado State Capitol 2 weeks ago and walked right in no issues with the watch.
[Moto 360] ka24e:
Mine doesn 't set off the metal detector at my work place. Quite pleased. I've gone through it about 14 times now without issues.... now *watch* it set it off today haha.
[Moto 360] boone8576:
Thanks guys for your feedback. I'll be picking up one of these this weekend.
[Moto 360] baked_stonewater:
I've travelled all over the world and it's never set off an airport metal detector.

I've also (for sport) discussed with the security people at LHR and SFO that it's weird that I'm allowed a smart watch without it being x-rayed - since they insist on x-raying a smart phone.

The reaction on both sides of the atlantic - a shrug - no x raying of watch and no beeping of metal detector.

100% sure you'll not have airport troubles anywhere in Europe or the USA.
[Moto 360] shamelin73:
I don't have any issues myself I work for an airline and don't need to take to watch off I have a moto 360
[Moto 360] Ezekial:
I have gone through a few US and international terminals. No issues.
[Moto 360] v3ngence:
This was pretty much all we needed to know, the 360 has much less metal than the average watch (just the edge really, the face is glass and back is plastic) especially with a leather band.

If your regular metal watch is fine, so is the 360! :good:

I've sideloaded the SiriusXM app (version 3.0.31) on to my AFT and it loads, but gives me no option to click on the 'log in' button? Has anyone else been able to get version 3 working? I was using version 2 in the past (2.6.6.101) and it no longer works because after logging into the version 2 app, it prompts you to upgrade the app and wont go any further.

Any ideas on how to get the newer version working would be greatly appreciated!
