[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Angry Black Man:
im running this rom and recovery:

ROM: http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-update-to-stock-rooted-ob1-5-0-t3049676

RECOVERY: https://twrp.me/site/update/2015/06/22/twrp-2.8.7.0-released.html

i decided to do a backup and then try to restore it recently. i've done this successfully in the past, but this time it gave me:

"createTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255"

needless to say, my knuckles are swollen and raw from punching walls and various flat vertical surfaces because this backup wouldn't restore.

so my question is: is it possible to make a complete image backup of a phone without making a nandroid backup of it? a COMPLETE IMAGE? WITHOUT TWRP/CWM?

A COMPLETE IMAGE

thanks..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Danny Noman:
The only complete backup can only be made in custom recovery. TWRP has never failed me, but if you wand full backup you have to manually select the extra partitions (EFS, modem,recovery itself)..

Can you try restoring from another backup, if you have?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
If you have a PC you can do a complete backup with adb
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Angry Black Man:
comes the obvious question: how? how do i do a COMPLETE backup? is it a COMPLETE IMAGE?

...it would appear adb backups are only app backups.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Angry Black Man:
"Can you try restoring from another backup, if you have?"

that's not my issue here. but i did already say this:

"i've done this successfully in the past"
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keech:
Hello Team,

I do have a Zenfone2 Z00AD, 2GB Ram, and 16GB internal memory.

I kinda seem to find it slow, with the apps and games I have installed in it, it is currently in official firmware.

I am planning to install custom firmware in it, can you guys give me some advice in which custom rom is so far the best that you have tried for zf2?

What I am looking for a custom rom to address for my zf2 are th following:

rooted by default

ready for xposed (if possible)

not power hungry (battery friendly)

debloated (most stock/unnecessary apps removed)

themable (optional)

fast/smooth system/UI

Will have long term support/update (incase if the marshmallow android version will already be officially available for zf2)

So far, what I have in mind are echozen (echoe rom?) and slimp.

Any other suggestion guys will be highly appreciated.

Thank you!
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bar4:
each person have different opinion about what's the best custom rom, i have tried CM 12.1 , Cm 13, RR Remix, the last i try is AICP Rom and since then i stick with this Rom until now, more or less AICP Rom is the most suitable custom rom for my need, to know which Rom you need the most, you should try them, but don't expect too much (looking for perfectness rom) because each rom have plus and minus. to answer your questions in AICP Rom that i use:

rooted by default yes

ready for xposed (if possible) i know nothing about xposed and don't really care either

not power hungry (battery friendly) yes

debloated (most stock/unnecessary apps removed) yes

themable (optional) yes

fast/smooth system/UI yes

Will have long term support/update (incase if the marshmallow android version will already be officially available for zf2) until now the developer always give an update
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SebTech33:
I'm not a dev so i cannot help you with bugs etc... I will not take any creds regard this program only wanted to share what i know and as always i'm not responsible for anything that happens to your devices..

Sorry for my bad English..

I've found a working method for V4A to work on Nexus 5X, and i know there are many threads about this...

I was looking around and found some solutions, but it seemed like there was not a specific thread about installing or was actually working.

It does not seem like you need permissive kernel for this to work (I've tried both Permissive and Enforcing, and both work).

Nexus 6's V4A have worked, but it it's missing audio focus sometimes. I've not got any FC. Dolby and Dolby Plus works too ;)

I'm running:

ROM: ResurrectionRemix MM v5.6.4

Kernel: Jolla Kernel v6.0-Beta

Recovery: TWRP v3.0.0-0

What you will need:

-Nexus 5x (obviously)

Busybox (Recomended): meefik (Free)

Busybox: Stephen (Stericson) (Free)

Viper4Android (Recomended, but Doby is not included): Nexus 5 V4A

Viper4Android: Nexus 6 V4A

Install Method

1. First download Es File Explorer (or any other file explorer with root/system access).

2. Open File explorer and grant read write permission (in es file explorer you must go to left side panel and grant root access and then click on the text and choose "Mount R/W"). Then give "/", "/system" and "/vendor" r/w permission.

3. Afterwards you go to "/system/vendor/etc/" rename "audio_effects.conf" to "audio_effects.conf.bak" (in case something goes wrong or if you want to go back later. This is because V4A makes its own version of "audio_effects.conf". You will have to do it because in MM and V4A does not r/w for some reason.. It will then make its own file and it will work. If you want to go back to normal, just delete the "audio_effects.conf" V4A made and delete the ".bak" at the end of the original file. Also uninstall the driver from V4A, then use a system app remover to delete V4A. Then reboot).

4. Install the Busybox Version you prefer from Google Play Store. I'm currently running Busybox v1.24.1 (installed to "/system/xbin")

5. Go into recovery and take a backup (just to be on the safe side) before you flash the V4A of you liking, but I would suggest LolliViper (I will only link to the website not the file itself).

Then your done, if you have any questions or need help I can try my best. i cannot promise i can help tho..
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RngrYogi:
Hello guys. During setup my 6p asked me about having the pin checked before booting android itself. Am I correct in assuming having this on will stifle android device manager's ability to locate lock or wipe the phone in the event it is lost or stolen seeing how the rom never boots until the pin is entered. Seems super safe but at the expense of losing any chance of recovering it should it be stolen and still connected to data or lost by me. :eek:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
I don't know about remote finding and lock but I can tell you I had it for a little while and then when I loaded the last pass app it said I had to disable it for that to work so I did because I love LastPass
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fury683:
Yes, if you have the option for requiring PIN to boot enabled, the device will never fully boot into Android and you would not be able to track it. The upside is that the thief would not be able to use the phone until that PIN is entered.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] shamelin73:
I have a question the last few devices I have had could play music via Bluetooth to my cars without the notification sound coming though the car speakers. Now with this new phone AT&T Note 5, I can seem to not have the notification sounds come though the car speakers.

My Nexus 6 (Moto) plays the music and volume lowers a bit but my notification sound is not audible via car speakers like the Note.

Is there a setting I can change that I cant find?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikecosta64:
Have you guys seen any noticeable battery differences between using double tap to wake and not using it? I know it's known that double tap to wake will drain battery because it has to keep the digitizer on in order to register touches. Please do share your stories and if you have data please include it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
I'm using DT2W since a while and honestly the batttery drain is insignificant imo.

With DT2W you also have the proximity sensor always on when the screen is off (pocket detection).
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyrusct82:
I have it enabled (wake gestures) for almost two years now but I didn't see any drain.

[Greenify] tu3218:
So it appears to be working okay on my rooted 6p but I saw that it's turned off in accessibility. Should I turn that on? Or will it work okay with it being off?
[Greenify] christianpeso:
From my understanding, that option is for users who do not have root access. It enables Greenify to work somewhat without root access.

If I am incorrect, someone please chime in.
[Greenify] TNSMANI:
Slight correction.

That option is to be enabled only if you use Greenify in non root mode. You may have root but still choose to run Greenify in non root mode in which case that option is to be enabled.
[Greenify] martyfender:
Wow! You are correct. I had it enabled on my rooted devices, thinking that it needed to be enabled for automated hibernation to work. In the accessibility settings window for greenify, there is no mention of only for non root mode.

I have disabled it now.

Thanks!

Hello everyone, after a great success on building roms for bacon device. I've decided to share my work with other devices. So now I share with hammerhead. After positive feedback on the rom today I'll publish here the rom.

Kernel and Device tree are untouched so everything should be working smoothly. You can use a custom kernel in case you like, but i'll only give support to stock kernel as I do not yet own an device. So CM bugs are basically also our bugs, and from what I know there is none. Still I'm open to suggestions. :)

Download

GAPPS

Features:

Updated SQL to 3.11.0.0

Optimized SQL code for faster Read/Write

CM Super User (for now is the most stable one)

Kernel with F2FS support

Improved Code of frameworks

Optimized Build with custom toolchain on ROM and Kernel

Optimizations for our chip

Improved sound with speex resampler

Improved bionic with many optimized libraries (faster rom)

Improved Art with upstream patches

Optimized native frameworks for our device

LZMA updated to the latest

Proguard 5.2.1

Google Webview

F2FS ready for data and cache

Immersive mode

Expanded Notifications

CAF Task Manager

Snapdragon Camera

Network Monitor

More coming soon

I'm a very praticle user, and my aim will be to get a very fluid stable system, at same time with speed and battery, keeping most stock possible with the optimizations which will improve for real our experience.

Thanks :)

Issue with the latest build

I've Nexus 5, 16GB with TWRP 3.

While installing the latest build and latest slim gapps - I get an error saying there is not enough space in System and asks me to resize.

Can you please help?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jgcaap:
IT seems it is working with micro.

Could you please let me know the actual free space you have at system partition?

Thanks. I'll really look forward to a solution.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Arijit.Ray81:
Any idea what could be causing the issue? I wonder how the other ROMs along with mini GAPPS work.

I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong; or has TWRP 3 screwed up something?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jgcaap:
try with an older version and let me know. but i believe is because this one is odexed
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Arijit.Ray81:
I did try with older gapps. All had the same issue.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jgcaap:
Then definitely is space.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Arijit.Ray81:
Any idea how we can go about fixing the issue? I'd appreciate any help. I love your ROM and would like to stick to it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jgcaap:
I guess that for this device either I don't fully odex or use smaller gaaps.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Arijit.Ray81:

There is no fix beside a work around such as odexing less parts to save space.

All the donations sent to me from all devices, I agreed with the users to buy a computer, but recently i've been having headaches for almost 5 weeks and was diagnosed by the doctor to buy glasses. So after reeciving the unemployment fund which should be next mont i'll start putting back the money in order to buy a computer for development. Just wanted to let you guys know how I've made good use of the money you gave out with donations.

[MENTION=2040569]jgcaap[/MENTION], Hi.

Could you make the same build for hammerheadcaf?

Hammerheadcaf much better than AOSP one, because it contains actual updates for device and kernel trees and a lot of optimization.

Current AOSP-builds extremely poor in this sense.

Actual sources for hammerheadcaf is here:

Device tree - https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_lge_hammerheadcaf

Kernel tree - https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_lge_hammerhead/tree/cm-13.0-caf

Proprietary blobs - https://bitbucket.org/kylon/proprietary_vendor_lge

Maybe on N . I'm not investing much more time on M since it already matured.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pianistaPL:

I got 59k points in AnTuTu on latest build + blu_spark and f2fs. I don't care about benchmarks but I did it just for fun and this score is pretty good. I did use my daily kernel settings, without OC or performance governor. GPU settings was factory default. The most important is that ROM is buttery smooth.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Primokorn:
If you are open to suggestions, I'd say it could be nice to have additional features like SmartBar. You improved the UX but it remains CM lol Some features are missing compared to other custom ROMs.

Thanks anyway!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] drive2droad:
What's a SmartBar ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Primokorn:
To be able to set custom applications and more actions - double tap & long press (force close app, turn of screen, screenshot, flashlight, bluetooth, last app, power menu, notification, wifi, volume panel,....). Check DU or RR for example.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pianistaPL:
To be honest, I really like this ROM because it isn't overloaded. It's just slimmed CM with extra optimizations - and that's the main goal I guess - fast and light ROM.

Wysłane z mojego Nexus 5 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Primokorn:
You're probably right. It's always unsettling when going to CM builds, mainly when you come from custom roms like DU or RR.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TeddySika:
thanks for the Rom jgcaap dev, it is my first time rooting my devices. could anybody suggest which GAPPS should i flash?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pianistaPL:
http://opengapps.org/ I recommend the smallest one - pico.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TeddySika:
i flash GAPPS twice

first (Slim_zero_gapps.BETA.6.0.build.0.x-20160516-2250.zip), no google apps appear on my nexus

second (Slim_mini_gapps.BETA.6.0.build.0.x-20160121-1447.zip), same result.

should i wipe anything, before i flash another GAPPS? im going to try the one that u suggest.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Primokorn:
You don't need to wipe anything. Try flashing Open Gapps or Banks dynamic as suggested.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pianistaPL:
Slim GAPPS aren't update anymore. Flash OPEN Gapps as I said. Let's clear the whole flash order:

1. Wipe data, cache, system, dalvik/ART

2. Flash ROM

3. Flash SuperSU v2.76

(4. Flash custom kernel, if you want to)

5. Flash Open Gapps pico

That's all. You will get 100% working phone.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Primokorn:
[MENTION=2040569]jgcaap[/MENTION] could you bring back CM Superuser instead of SuperSU? SuperSU is still not stable with my setup. Some apps need a lot of time before working correctly (clean flash) and LMT Launcher doesn't work well after a dirty flash
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pianistaPL:
Have you tried set in SuperSU settings granting permissions for everything as default? Unless you don't want to do it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Primokorn:
For what? LMT Launcher has the root permissions but I can no longer use specific features. Amplify and FX File Explorer show a blank screen after a clean flash (no issue with CM Superuser though). Anyways, I don't want to do it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TeddySika:
is anybody using this ROM having issue with the elementalX latest version?

can i just flash it over the kernel comes with this ROM?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Primokorn:
There's no reason to have issue with any AOSP kernel. blu_spark worked flawlessly. Flash over the rom. No need to wipe.
