[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zohan99:
I just purchased the G3 a few days ago, am up and running with V20C rooted with TWRP custom recovery.

For the life of me, after doing 2 backups, I can't find the TWRP backup folder/files?!

I've done dozens of backups and restores using TWRP on many different phones but have yet to encounter this problem.

I know that the backup's exist because my storage space keeps going down every time I try to backup.

Has anyone had this issue before?

Thanks in advance!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epidenimus:
It should be at:

/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS

or

/storage/emulated/0/TWRP/BACKUPS​
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zohan99:
Thanks for the reply. Obviously, I checked there, but the folders don't exist.

There is a TWRP file in the root folder, size is 0 bytes. This is really odd..
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 573v3:
What does > TWRP(Recovery) > Restore > Select Storage / very top line, go through options it gives and you should find your Backup, if it exists in TWRP.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zohan99:
After searching a bit online, I was able to figure it out.

Booted into recovery, then plugged in USB cable. All of a sudden, the TWRP folder magically appeared on my computer, and I was able to copy the backup files.

No idea as to why this is happening..
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SniperInside:
Hi, I had the same identical problem and I found this thread searching for a solution. Not a single file manager could find the twrp folder but it existed, I could'nt create a new folder with that name in storage/sdcard. In the meantime I found a topic in which an user finds his backups in DATA/MEDIA/(etc), I tried and it works, but still apps like titanium and others couldn't access that folder! In a moment tried to set selinux mode to permissive and immediately titanium sees the nandroid! I think this is a VERY IMPORTANT info, I have stock rom bumped and rooted, can anyone copy this post to a more important troubleshooting topic?

Edit: I see some nexus 4 users had the same problem, this could be caused by lollipop instead of the g3 environment or the root method or so

Do can cpa be used like a day to day rom? I want to unlock bootloader and flash that rom bcuz of the high ram usage on stock..can you tell me how much free ram you get with facebook and fb messenger opened? Or after you reboot the phone how much ram u get
[LG G2 Mini] kokolo15:
Im using cpa as a daily driver with nikitas kernel v3.1.

It is rock solid with zero reboots.(quickremote doesnt work due to kernel and video capture can be a little tricky).

i get 500mb free ram when phone is clean and about 400 when i havent cleared recents.If i multitask (music,internet,pdfs,)nothing shuts down and phone keeps on running smooth with about 200-250 mb left.

I just installed facebook to check(everything open:Browser,camera,facebook,fb messenger,music).

I get 350 mb free,no lags during transition.

CPA also has expanded desktop mode which allows you hide status and navigation bar.It is rly good for facebook and internet browsing.

Also omniswitch and pie navigation makes it rly easy to work with the phone.

edit:http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps

im using cm11 small gapps because i didnt want the google play(books,games,music etc)bloatware.
[LG G2 Mini] Diaze:
Wow that s amazing.. I think i m gonna install it too. Thanks for the info
[LG G2 Mini] nkay08:
That's cool. I have tried Stock, CM12, Pacman and Resurrection Remix. RR was the best of them. I have better battery on the CM12 based ROMs than on Stock, which might be due to mobile data sucking battery as you described.

CM11 was not an option for me without working vibration, but with Nikita's Kernel I might try that. I didn't really have CPA on my radar,but I might try it.

I don't even know how you get such crazy good battery life. I can't get lower than 1.4%/h on any ROM i tried. (I lose ~8-9% over night) and I don't have any apps that generate Wakelocks besides Whatsapp (yeah major battery sucker), Gmail, 2 other e-mail accounts and IFTTT.

So you use Nikita's Kernel on CPA as well?

And do you suggest using SuperSU instead of the built in SUManager. Do you use Kernel Auditor instead of the built in Performance settings?
[LG G2 Mini] Zer0_rulz:
What is "CPA" guys?
[LG G2 Mini] Tse™:
I would strongly recommend formatting Cache,Dalvik Cache, data

AND

system before flashing.

Especially when going from 4.4 to 5.0 or from full stock to full custom.

I personally found most of the problems i was facing after a new flash resolved when flashed again and wiped system.

Very good post though.
[LG G2 Mini] nkay08:
CrystalPA. Seem to be some kind of CM11 based ROM (Android 4.4.4)

YOu can get it here
[LG G2 Mini] kokolo15:
cm11 and cpa that ive tried are close to my stock idle power usage records.CM12 was horrible no matter what i did. 1.3%per hour with all the tweaks.But battery usage was kinda better with data on.Havent got the chance to test on cm11 etc.

Also i do use nikita's kernel on cpa and built in SUManager even if outdated has not given me any issues so i didn't bother.

kernel adiutor is a handy app that should be on the phone.Although i use built in performance settings,faux sound controls for kernel audio boost.I also think CPA comes with Viper4android and MusicFX which i disabled both.(i might turn viper for android on cause i love it).You must use faux sound controls if you want to change headphones,phone mic,speaker gain.
[LG G2 Mini] kokolo15:
I did forget to add the Cache,Dalvik Cache format my bad.
[LG G2 Mini] nkay08:
I have another question. Which gapps do you use for CM11 and CPA?

I used the PA Gapps 4.4.x Pico or Nano and shortly after i boot up on CPA "Google play Services stopped working". I don't know how much this affects my system, but some push notifications seem to be delayed (though that could be some other setting's fault)

I denied "Google Play Services" & "Google Play Services Framework" keep awake in AppOpsXposed and disabled some Google Play Services :

AnalyticsService
FeedbackService
AdRequestBrokerService
FusedProviderService
GeofenceProviderService
negotiationService
WatchdogService
WearableService

I use this guide to further improve my battery life: http://xdaforums.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884

I removed limitations some alarms in Amplify though to see if those were delaying push notifications or if setting minimium CPU frequency to 182MHz caused this.
[LG G2 Mini] kokolo15:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps i use the "small" pack and have disabled hangouts,google text to speech,gmail,talkback,browser.(just to free some ram,also am using greenify to freeze some of the apps i have downloaded separately in case they cause wakelocks).

I dont think you have to push it that far cause i havent and phone is rock solid.

"Google play Services stopped working"that happens probably due to some of the services you disabled or permissions you denied i had the same issue on cm12.

I have done only the above i stated and the phone just never wakes up due to some google app.

The only issue im having currently is mic quality during calls.(i think it uses camcorders mic and it gets screwed up).

Do note that if you get low power into your headphones or you want to boost the speaker sound a bit the right way to do it is download faux control and tweak some of the setting on first tab(second tab i found useless.)/

I'd like to unlock the bootloader to flash CPA and other roms, I just want to know if the Zaap's aboot.img file is safe to use for SW v10j. Do you know?
[LG G2 Mini] nkay08:
I don't know if it's safe to use that. When I unlocked my bootloader I used my own aboot.img, modified as Zaap described in this post

It doesn' take long and is safer than just taking his aboot.

Editing abootb is only needed for devices where that byte chain can be found on.

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Davka:
ROM downloaded with XperiFirm and pre-rooted with PRFCreator.

CDA (customization version): 1280-7864

It will flash SuperSU and LockedDualRecovery (it will overwrite your current recovery).

You need to be on any rooted ROM already with custom recovery to flash a .zip file with this firmware!

You don't loose any data, you keep root, you update your firmware to the newest Lolipop build .270.

You can flash this only if you have Custom Recovery flashed in your phone. If you have then boot into it, choose Flash .ZIP file or similar feature and you flash it. You have to put the .zip file on the SD card before this step.

If you don't have Custom Recovery or don't know how to use it - this is not a thread for you, sorry.

安卓手机提示“EmergencyManagerService已停止”的解决办法

手机：三星Samsung Note4 N9100

安卓：4.4版

线刷包：是“三星N9100_{380750}_TGY（香港）N9100ZHU1ANL1_4.4.4_20160830194905.rar”

大家都知道这个官方的包内置软件比较多，需要做精简处理，然后一轮精简后，重启提示“EmergencyManagerService已停止”，Google一下，百度一下，Bing一下，都没有解决办法。

过程分析：

后来在钛备份中发现有个程序的名称就是叫“EmergencyManagerService”，对应的是在 \system\app 目录下的“EmergencyModeService.apk”的apk文件，这个包名称是“com.sec.android.emergencymode.service”的。于是搜索了一下“EmergencyModeService.apk”的情况，发现“EmergencyLauncher.apk 启动器.不能删除”，“EmergencyModeService.apk 启动器相关,不能删除”，“EmergencyProvider.apk 启动器相关联的服务”，三个带有“Emergency”开头的相关APK不能删除的问题。于是上 Root Explorer 看了一下，EmergencyModeService.apk 和 EmergencyProvider.apk 都在，就是 EmergencyLauncher.apk 被删除了，而这个 EmergencyLauncher.apk 就是“启动器 1.0”就是默认桌面系统嘛，想了一下，估计是因为后期改为使用Nove做桌面，想着这个没用，就删除掉EmergencyLauncher.apk，把这个文件复制回去，会不会就不提示呢？于是复制回去，改了权限，重启后，就没有再提示“EmergencyManagerSevice已停止”，看来就是因为删除了EmergencyLauncher.apk引起的。

解决办法：

所以我们要做的很简单，把EmergencyLauncher.apk复制到\system\app下，权限修改为跟同目录的其他APK的权限一样，然后重启手机即可。

Is this the right option or should i stop it ?

the right option would be to flash the factory image the right way, via fastboot, and while in your bootloader.

you mean it flashing it manually by placing the factory image in the platform tools folder ?

I tried that multiple times but it gave me the "could not allocate 721539744 bytes error: cannot load 'system.img" error :/
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
If your Android SDK is more than 6 months old, you may need to update it. Google updated fastboot to allow flashing these very large files.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No, by using fastboot commands.. The location of the images you flash is irrelevant.

Either there is a problem with the system.img (redownload) or there is a problem with the flash memory on your device.

You could flash a custom recovery and use that to flash a zipped ROM to see.if that makes any difference.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
if you are using the flash-all, dont, as that gives many people problems as of lately. instead, you want to unzip and flash each partition separately.

[Android Head-Units] scantron5k:
Hey all, I'm new here and any help I can get would be GREATLY appreciated!

I recently bought an Ouku android 2din radio from eBay. It is running jelly bean 4.2.2. It is actually a pretty sweet head unit and everything works.... except for one very frustrating feature. GPS signal cannot be detected no matter what I do. I have mounted the GPS antenna on the roof of my 2009 Mailbu, and it STILL will not detect a signal. I have also downloaded an offline GPS app (Sygic), as well as Google Maps, and Waze. Google Maps will find my location while sitting in my garage on wifi, but will lose location as soon as I pull out of the garage, even if I have data tethering turned on from my galaxy s6. I have also tried a handful of GPS fix apps - as well as letting them run out in the driveway for over 20mins to detect satellites.. None of them work. I am beginning to think that it is more of a software issue than hardware, due to the fact that I have routed the GPS antenna to many mounting spots with no luck ( I have also checked the antenna pin on the connector, etc. and everything is in tact). One of the main reasons I bought it was for the in-dash navigation! I am now considering a factory reset, but I need some advice as to the best way to backup my apps. Also, does anyone know if a factory reset will wipe the home page apps? I really don't want to do a factory reset, though.

I am desperate at this point, so anything.... ANYTHING would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.
