Those who are fed up of the disc size acquired by TWRP backup or CWM backup and want that it consumes less space on your disc....

Its just a small trick which work for all android device's.....

Requirements: Romtool box (android app)

Link: http://m.apkhere.com/down/com.jrummy.liberty.toolboxpro_6.0.7.0_paid

1) Open the app, grant root..

2) Select Rom Installer - Backup and Restore - Backup Current rom.

3) Device will automatically reboot into twrp mode and backup will start...

4) Then just delete the backup and you will not be able to restore that backup..

5) Now simply boot into twrp recovery and take backup using that....

U will find that backup will start and will show a size of whats original (lets assume a size of 2880 mb)

Let the backup go.....

6) Reboot ur device and open ur file manager and get the property of the file.

U will find that size consume on ur sd card is very less..(size now will be 1708 mb)

Once done u can take backup normally through twrp or cwm.....

No need to use Rom Toolbox again and again.....

Its a one time process...

Hit like if it helped and if anyone didn't catch me then ask me.....

I will share some screenshots or make a video....

If it didn't work for someone than request me, I will share some other ways to do that

I assure that this will definitely work....for any concern contact me

Thanks.............??

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] Tothotspur:
on my previous phone (kaiser) you could make the phone remain on gprs and this would help with the battery life as the phone would not constantly be searching for 3G etc.

Can this be done on the dual?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] zoharbl:
Exactly in the same manner you have done with your Kaiser.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] mittchell:
when you remember please post it so i can try, gettin sick to from constantly research 3G:D :D
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] GpsPasSion:
Best way to do that is add the "3G" line in the COM manager with Schaps tool.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] Tothotspur:
no it is not because when i choose gsm on the band the phone constantly searches for my operator but never finds it!!

I will try to find this Schaps tool

Hi guys.

Just did a clean flash all was working fine but when i try to start for ex "black mart" it crashes display goes black.

Tried Wiping everything and re flash same problem remained.

Tried "Format Data" got the following message :

" E: Unable to wipe '/data' -- Unknown file system

'auto'

Unable to format to remove encryption . "

Also I get two red lines in the install log :

E: unknown command {log}

all help is appreciated

My advice is to install a custom ROM without wipes, if it still does not work, make all the wipes, except the SD, if it still does not work, install the stock rom, that should work 100%, you can give me the link Black mart, I need to check something
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imsta:
Hey Jimmy

I Installed it without wipes didnt work...did a clean flash still no luck....figured if i can remove the whole partition and re create it all leftovers will be deleted ..

So i asked how to go about this...got an old stock rom flashed it with the pit file...now all apps were working again ...tried formatting the partition still same problem... wiped it once more...installed LOS 14.1....problem remained...tried a few diff releases of 14.1

Figured maybe if i downgrade TWRP back to 2.8.7 (from 3.0.0) maybe i can format it....so I did and voila now i could fomat the disk ....but this time I installed cm-13.0-20160113-UNOFFICIAL-kminilte....all is now working

The first installation of 14.1 was actually working...but I downgraded to 5.1..1 because i wasn't able to restore my backups ....the second time around I noticed that the file manager was now displaying " shared Internal Storage" (which it didnt the first time) dunno if that had something to do with it...

Here is the lnk i dL black mart

[General Questions and Answers] BurAlc:
My xperia z1 unfortunately fell on the floor that the display is kinda dead now. When I charge it, the notification light still lights up and turns to green when fully charged. The display however, only leaves a white straight line when I turn it on and I think the touch is also dead.

All I want to do now is to extract the data from the phone, but the USB debugging is not turned on and the phone has a password protected lock screen.

As I don't really wanna fix it or use Dr fone(if not necessary), I want to buy a micro USB to HDMI/usb adaptor to connect the phone to an external display and a mouse to control it, but I just don't know whether otg mouse and the hdmi can work properly when connected simultaneously.

Please help or please give me other suggestions.

[Huawei Mate 9 Accessories] Hannes084:
Hey,

I just got my Mate 9 and since I am like the master of scratching my phone (especially the camera lenses...) I was wondering if you guys had any good suggestions on a good flip cover/wallet case that offers strong protection against camera lense scratches? I'd be veeeeeeery thankful. :silly:
[Huawei Mate 9 Accessories] Governa:
I suggest Huawei's official leather flip case (smartcase).
[Huawei Mate 9 Accessories] Diplodocus123:
The original smart case protector from Huawei scratches my screen. Happened now on two different screen protectors: The one that came with it and on Brotect Airglass (tempered glass). I think the hard surface of the case is causing this if fine particles getting crushed between the front cover and screen. Maybe it's my own fault, not sure. I will test it a for a couple of hours with another glass protector and tell you.
[Huawei Mate 9 Accessories] jpmaas:
I had it with the smart window cover of Huawei, one scratch on the glass of my Mate 7, a disadvantage I found that it does not close properly and opened in my pocket.

For my mate 9 "Mobilize Classic Gelly Wallet Book Case Black Huawei Mate 9"

The lenses are well protected and soft material protects your device. But if you need to flash it's bollocks, this bounce back part of the flash light in the lens, so this case is too thick.
[Huawei Mate 9 Accessories] EJAX:
I have original smart view cover too, and it really scratches the screen. Have my Mate 9 for only one week and already got plenty of serious scratches on screen. I'm verry dissapointed about it,because it's original accessory. I'm verry careful with my phones, never get any scratch with my previous phones. Do you have some suggestion what to do? Can I claim warranty on it?
[Huawei Mate 9 Accessories] mathbenc:
Can confirm that the official flip case scratches the screen where the magnet is. Another problem is that you cannot customize cover wallpaper, so you need to modify theme files in order to change it. Otherwise leather feels nice and premium. I still have the original plastic screen protector applied so I don't care if case scratches it, glass on screen is still perfectly fine...
[Huawei Mate 9 Accessories] EJAX:
I removed original screen protector, because it was so badly sticked, that one side of screen protector lap over the actual screen. I love how thin is this original smart cover, but already had to throw it away, because of this scratching problem. Does someone found similar flip case but with non plastic front?
[Huawei Mate 9 Accessories] djmvt:
Ah thank God I thought I was crazy.

Scratches on my phone too, also from original Flipcover.

Huawei says it's not a warranty case here in the Netherlands ...
[Huawei Mate 9 Accessories] itsjustmeagain:
I love and recommend the cases by Stilgut. I have had them on several phones now and never got disappointed.
[Huawei Mate 9 Accessories] MeeMk:
I can recommend a couple I've bought off AliExpress. One is Capas brand, the other is Capa Coque. Both seem good quality. The latter has a single slot for credit card.
[Huawei Mate 9 Accessories] mscion:
I have this case too. While I can't compare to others I can say I've been happy with it.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunblader:
I have a Xperia SP C5303 originally using a simplified stock rom https://xdaforums.com/xperia-sp/development/rom-sony-original-pure-stock-rom-12-1-1-t2859279 and it works fine.

Few days before I tried to flash it back to real stock rom by flashtool. I failed to do that in xperia companion even after I have relocked the bootloader in flashtool. So I just downloaded the stock ftf from the net.

The first rom I tried is http://xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/37-sony-xperia-sp-c5303 . Flashtool first reported an error "processing of system.sin finished with errors", then my phone cannot boot normally, it shuts down after sony logo every time, but I was still able to connect it in flashing/fastboot mode

The main problem is that then I carelessly used a wrong rom which is for C5302 instead of C5303 downloaded from xperia blog http://www.xperiablog.net/forum/resources/xperia-sp_c5302_12-1-a-1-207_taiwan_generic.248/

I had the same error "processing of system.sin finished with error" this time but my phone went totally bricked after this flash! I can't boot my phone using power button now nor connect it to flashtool

It is totally dead now, any method I can fix my phone?

[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Dreadish:
Good day.

I have serious problem. The phone works perfectly otherwise, except i cant playback movies. they all stutter. I mean i had Xperia X before with SD650, and every single movie works flawlessy smooth, its like grafic proccesor has trouble rendering video. I tried everything. Hardware acceleration, software, force Gpu rendering all.

I flashed stock rom Marshmallow and two other marshmallow roms, tried all Nougat versions too. Same thing everywhere. I used MX player, custom ac3 codec , Bs player, VLC, all programs, i know all, i watch movies forever. first time i have trouble with playback.

Is it software problem, do i have too wait for final Nougat update 7.1.1 or is it my unit defection. Anywone else has this problem?

Video playback isnt smooth, it stutters!!

please help me before i go to servis.

Greetings

Dreadish
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Rtester:
It's not normal at all, if you properly flashed more roms and the problems are still the same then there could be some hardware issue, install Geekbench, run both CPU and then Compute and show me the results, compute is often good to understand if there is something going wrong in the background.

[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Dreadish:
I cant believe it. I was in the store testing the mineral black version of sony XZ they have on the shelvs. And that device also has the same issuse. I didnt play smooth. I tested XA wich was there too and it played perfectly smooth and its way lower device in specs. POINT Being. Im testing yet another black version in another store tommorow.

And what my specs showibg above?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Dreadish:
I simply refuse to belive that no one came acroos this playback issue. Worked fine and smooth on all previous low specs phones i had (last was Xperia x).

Its like no one is watching movies on phone. Playback skipping frames-stutters video. (maybe its not so in videos u record with camera, but this goes for all type of movies mkv, mp4, divx etc. with either mx player (or other best players outthere).

Not one single user had this issue?

I will test another XZ phone tommorow in another store wich im gonna, and if it will have same issue, i seriously doubt that ALL Xz phones are hardware broken , it would be too much coincidence for thoes three. Then it would surelly be software problem. But why Sony didnt repair this?

Its been like what - 4 updates already since stock.....? Im still waiting for the cooment on my benchmark i posted above...
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Rtester:
The values from the benchmarks are completely fine, but I see you're still running MM, there may be something wrong with the regional MM you're running, update the phone to 7.0 and I believe there won't be any problem, I own two XZs, one rooted and one in factory settings+updated, none of them have ever lagged during a single task.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Dreadish:
I understand but i already updated for the first time over official phone updates all the way up to 442. Nougat version. It wasnt working, was still skipping frames on movies. After that i tried separately flashin all roms, three nougat versions too. Didnt help.

So u sure this is software problem? All my bencmark dont show anY faults?
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Atrax2010:
Have you tried running the phone in safe mode?

It sounds like a third-party app acting up, and it might be a third party app that comes with a certain region of the FW.

Also, does the playback behave the same reading from internal storage and SD card?

For example, I'm using a customized Greek FW and have no issues with video playback, even tried 4k videos, they run fine.

Reboot the phone into safe mode and see if the issue persists. If not, run it like that in safe mode for at least 2 hours, preferably even longer, and if the problem is still not there, then it's a third party issue.

I do disable a lot of stock apps after fresh FW flash and I barely use any aditional apps, so I can't confirm anything regarding to stock fresh FW with all preinstalled apps.

Keep in mind that running in safe mode will reset some of the UI and user settings to default, also when you revert back to normal mode, some apps might ask you to log in again.

I've had a similar issue with the Z3, it would lag and stutter and drain battery for no reason, ran it in safe mode and everything was great. Then I started removing third-party apps until I identified the one that was causing the issue (some sketchy camera app, it had processes running in the background like crazy).
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Dreadish:
I tested from SD card and from internal memory of course Yes.

I just tried safe mode again (also i disabled all other apps that i could) with MM213 and still playback stutters frames.

I was limited when using aps, i coudnt use mx player or anything to test, just ALBUM" program too play movies, and they still didnt played smooth. Album dosent support all divx,mkv and other formats anyway. There was one time that one movie did played smooth but that was only one time in album. I tried record 1080 and 4K too, it does play ok" still ocasionaly really small stutter every frames - but its surelly not the same as stuttering and skipping when playing a movie. (is this normal for camera videos?)
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Dreadish:
My god. Today i tested two more XZ models in two different stores front. Both runned Nougat 7.0 version 39.2.A.0.327 . The one Platinum was same as mine-bad stuttering playback, but the other black version in another store with exacly same version was working perfectly - playback and all was very smooth as it should be. So what now? Is it possible that i had bad version, im loading new zeland rom with same version number just another country to test it. Prolly wont make difference.

So this is resoults:

i tested 3 different XZ models in three stores. Two of them were buggs as mine, third one was good when it comes too playback. So this means its hardware problem and i should demand replacement?
