Good luck getting Helium to work. I spent days struggling with it, and could get a partial backup about 1 time in 10. And the developer provides zero support.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ila420:
Super Backup Pro can backup your apps and other things, you can also use Samsung Backup to do that.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] optimummind:
But not app data (without Root).

FYI, Helium works fine for me on all the devices I've recently used: Sprint Galaxy Note 3 (flashed to AOKP 7.1.2 Nougat), Unlocked 910C Galaxy Note 4 (both stock ROM & LOS 7

1.2), Unlocked GS7E, Unlocked GS8+ (Nougat, Oreo beta), and Unlocked GS9+ (Oreo).

Helium doesn't work for me I'm actually trying to restore my app data from an Xperia phone to my S9+ and I'm stuck at 7% with helium.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ila420:
Have you tried copying the Android data folder from Xperia to S9+ and than installing the apps?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] KristianKenneth:
I couldn't find the folder where the app is keeping it's data.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ila420:
All app data is stored in "Android" folder on the root of your internet or external storage.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] silentwitness1:
how did you guys manage to get helium to work? It just refuses to work for me I activate it from the pc and the min i close the app and start it again it asks for activation again. I contacted the developer but got no response from him.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] frezziex:
Hi everybody.

Actually I have Cosmic OS ROM and I want to ask if there is any app or mod through Magisk that allows you to reduce or increase vibration intensity. Usually there is a specific settings in "Sound" but it doesn't appear.

Someone could help me, please?

Thanks :)
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] alexmanu1:
You can change the vibration intensity in the kernel adiutor app , since you have Magisk already. I don't know any module that does that , sorry :)
[HTC Startrek] MagpieMDP:
I am currently running GnatGoSplat's Neo ROM, but the available colours are driving me batty. The brown puts me to sleep, and the blue is too, well, blue. There are some add-on colour themes for the Shadow at http://freddyreyes.com/forums/index.php?board=18.0. Howver when I install them on my StrTrk, the text in the menu screens is always displayed in black, which makes the black theme very hard to read :mad:. I guess they work propoeely on the Shadow as the supplied pictures look the goods (and the text is white).

Has anyone else developed any different colour themes that work on Gnat's Neo build?

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe7dust:
It's not about battery life of course, but I don't like all the apps that run in the background constantly draining cpu time and using my network unnecessarily. I am mainly concerned about some of my Kodi add-ons possibly torrenting in the background without me noticing.

I usually use greenify on my android devices but it keeps rebooting during set up. I have never used shutapp but it was recommended as a general alternative to greenify. Unfortunately it asks to turn on the accessibility service and won't complete set up either.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] statustray:
Hi everyone,

I have a the Google edition of Pixel, and have unlocked the bootloader successfully. I would like to root the device somethow, as well as get tether working. I am on Vzw's original unlimited data plan, and this phone has replaced my wife's Samsung Galaxy S3 phone on verizon. We held on to the S3 for so long as it is rooted and with the ROM we could tether using Vzw's tether and pay nothing extra.

What can I do to get back into a similar situation with this Google Pixel?

Thanks so much in advance.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] KittyRgnarok:
Install twrp and flash magisk for root. Any root tether app should be able to treat your tether data as standard data
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] statustray:
Thanks KittyRgnarok,

Do you have a link for Twrp for Google Pixel and also one for majisk? It seems some threads are old, and I don't want to mess things up.

Thanks so much in advance.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] KittyRgnarok:
Haha good on you for asking cuz quite a few people have gotten close to bricking their devices using the boot-to-root method from the day the phone released lmao. A quick Google search for "twrp sailfish" will bring u to the latest version of official twrp. As far as magisk just look up magisk on XDA and the official thread will have the dl link (don't download magisk from anywhere else)
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mike.s:
There's a Magisk "Tethering Enabler" module which I recommend you try, after you're rooted.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] statustray:
Thanks fur the info KittyRgnarok and mike.s,

I will try to do that tomorrow. Got sidetracked by a few other honey dos. Will try my very best to get back on this tomorrow. I hope you don't mind me reaching tomorrow evening after I get off work.

TIA

:)
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] KittyRgnarok:
No problem man and no worries. If you find yourself needing any help feel free to quote me in the thread or pm me.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] statustray:
Hi KittRgnarok,

I have downloaded the following to my computer:

twrp-3.2.1-2-sailfish.img

twrp-pixel-installer-sailfish-3.1.1-2.zip

Magisk-v16.0.zip

My computer is a macbook pro so I don't believe I need any additional drivers as supposedly they are already available in the Mac OS. I was able to unlock my bootloader using a terminal session & adb.

How should I now proceed?

Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] KittyRgnarok:
Correct MacBook shouldn't needed additional drivers. Put the magisk and twrp zip files on your phone. Then reboot into bootloader. From there use the command fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-2-sailfish.img which should put you into ram version of twrp. From here decrypt your device and install the twrp installer zip file. Once that's done reboot into recovery and flash magisk and you should be good to go
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] statustray:
I finally got it figured out ;) I have installed TWRP, as well as Majisk. I've tested root using a root tester, and now I need to see about the module that mike.s was referring to- specifically "tethering enabler".

All this stuff is totally new to me, so I am creeping along at a slow pace... lol ;)
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] KittyRgnarok:
In magisk manager there is a downloads tab and a modules tab. Go to the downloads tab and look for tether and you'll find it
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] statustray:
You must've been posting as I was typing my message to you. I'm just now seeing that you provided some steps. Yes, I had figured that out and got it done. Life's good now.

I am doing some searching trying to figure out tethering, that's the last piece of the equation for now... hehehe..... On the old vzw unlimited data plan and I don't want to switch over to their new plans. If I can get this going, then my better half will be super happy, and then I will look into getting me a Google Pixel (but the XL version).
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] statustray:
Thanks so much KittyRgnarok,

You pointed me in the right direction and I really appreciate that. It worked with no problems as I tested it and all's well. I then demonstrated it to my better half and she is super happy!!

Now I will order me one as well, but I am going to get the Google Pixel XL. I see the screen is larger on the Pixel 2, but heard there's been some "screen issues"? For me the lack of a phone jack is not all that big of a deal as I never hookup a wired headset and only use the bluetooth. *Ahem* on my phone I've only used a wired headset once or twice years ago when my bluetooth messed up. Lol....

Thanks again for everything!

:good:
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] KittyRgnarok:
Glad to hear both you and her are happy with the results :). As far as the pixel 2 xl a lot of the screen issues were software side but there are also issues with burn in(which I've experienced a decent amount of on the og as well) I have a friend with the pixel 2 and I highly recommend it but be aware that it is modding hell if you intend to be messing with a lot of that. As far as staying on stock rom+magisk+Xposed though it works great.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] S7sadly:
Hi everyone

Can anyone please let me know if the files he downloaded is the same files i need to do the same procedure, i have a normal google pixel 32gb from verizon which i unlocked the bootloader on 7.1 then upgraded to 8.1
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] KittyRgnarok:
Same files.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] S7sadly:
Thank you
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] statustray:
Thanks for the heads up on the Pixel 2 issues. I will probably stay with stock like on my better half's phone, and just want to root and tether. Now the burn ins, that kind of worries me. Hmmmm... decisons, decision... hehe...
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] KittyRgnarok:
To prevent burn in you can get the magisk module that hides the navbar and toggle that occasionally as that's the only place I really notice it aside from the statusbar which idk a way to hide. I've also heard inverting colours often can help prevent it
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] statustray:
Thanks for that information. I did not realize that. And sorry for the delay in responding. I didn't get on xda yesterday as I got back home late last night. I will certainly look for that magisk module you mentioned. ;)

Oh and by the way, I just got me a Google Pixel XL today ;)

Now I need to work the same magic on this one. I've already got it activated at the VZW Store near where I live. *Woohoo*
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowgert:
Hello,

Yesterday I decided to try and install lineage OS, I wanted to see if a custom ROM could make the phone more responsive.

I unlocked the bootloader using the HTC dev method, and installed CWM. I used CWM to do a backup. Next, I tried to install SuperSU from CWM, however once the process finished the phone would boot to a black screen. In an effort to fix it I tried to restore the backup from CWM, but now it just boots into CWM recovery.

I've been blindly wiping caches, doing factory resets, trying to install the lineage ROM but I haven't had any luck.

Unfortunately, I don't really know what I'm doing anymore so I've come here for help.

My problem seems similar to what I saw in this thread from a short while ago:

https://xdaforums.com/htc-one/help/htc-one-m7-s-htcdev-unlocked-twrp-t3756375

but I don't want to risk making things worse.

I seem to be able to use fastboot and adb commands. The adb shell su command indicates I'm not rooted.

fastboot get var provides this:

(bootloader) version: 0.5

(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.61.0000

(bootloader) version-baseband: 4T.35.3218.16

At this point I'm just looking to get any working ROM installed.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Thanks!

What are the version of your CWM, Supersu and lineage on your phone?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowgert:
I tried to install SuperSU v2.82

CWM is v6.0.2.8

Lineage is v14.1 unofficial, installing it from zip causes errors and the installation is aborted.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
You cwm is outdated. If I remember correctly you must use at least cwm 6.0.4.8 or TWRP 2.7.1.1 so your recovery kernel support fstab. Latest twrp is 3.2.1.0

Update your recovery and try to flash your rom again.

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] okaban:
Hi all,

I got a strange problem after I upgraded - it started to show that I don't have any SIM and, therefore, no reception or mobile internet. The weirdest thing - the first few seconds after reset/restart it shows full 4g, but then reception triangle gets blank and missing SIM icon appears. And funny thing - the connection is active in this short period - I received a text with Viber access code. An impression was that network is fine before something loads and blocks it.

So, I tried to flash back the Stock Room with December patch, which I flashed to my Stock Retail Rom September patch (BL unlocked, rooted) before sideloading soaks. RDS failed on the third step as, I guess, it checks what you flash on to what. I shrugged and decided to flash custom Rom to be able then to flash 7,1 stock. I downloaded both ROM and gapps, flashed TWRP and booted to recovery. TWRP on it's first launch asked something and started to mount something, preparing for normal work. However, after it finished, it rebooted again and booted into stock recovery. Well, here I clicked everything I could, I mounted System (don't ask:))), few other venues and, finally, erase userdata. It asked data only or personalized content as well - I chose the later. In the logs it said userdata, cache and something to do with carrier was deleted.

I clicked restart and it loaded into bootlaoder again. Hm, checked the logs and it said bootmethod in UKG was set as BL (fastboot reason). Restarted again. The phone said it was being encrypted and when finished - started normally. The setup menu asked for the language and the network triangle was full and showed 4G. I selected the language, setup WiFi and triangle disappeared. I put in my email address to setup Google account and froze - I have 2-step verification. So I inputted my password and restarted the phone in a hope to get the text while the connection is active. This time phone booted normally and ****ing miracle!!!! the network is back!

No idea what helped it, but if you have this trouble - maybe it will help you.

[Moto Z Questions & Answers] kev.in.946:
Motorola = Lenovo = Chinese [emoji6]

I've had the MotoZ after the LG G4. Only short time. Since one year on Galaxy S8 and happy. Maybe a LG V30 as alternative?
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] Jeik:
I cannot say anything about a Verizon phone since I have no clue if they "tainted" the Moto Z too, making it different from global variants.

As for simply being worth it:

If you are paying less than 450$, it's definitely worth it.

The phone is snappy, hysterically thin for a phone ( it's as thick as an iPhone when you put a bulky case on it, otherwise it's only 5.2mm thick ), has a good camera, a great display and you will love the UI if you're a fan of stock Android.

However, if you can pay more than 450$, consider something like a Oneplus 5.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] Lunatiic:
Battery is AWFUL. The phone is mostly smooth but if you use it for prolonged periods, it heats up and then starts lagging due to throttling.

Camera is reasonable at most but the camera lens get scratched easily, so the image quality could degrade over time.

Mods are funny at some point but are extremely expensive and there are chaper alternatives that work on any device, not being necessary to have a Z phone to use them.

Fingerprint scanner works but it's not the fastest and misses sometimes, and it get's really annoying when you have to try 4 or 5 times to unlock it.

Motorola has abandoned this phone, which hasn't received a security update since December and god knows when it'll get Oreo, and even worse, god knows what sort of bugs Lenovo interns will give us when Oreo finally arrives.

Doesn't have a headphone jack.

My particular unit developed severe burn-in after only 7 months of usage, but every display is different, so your mileage may vary.

Phone is so thin that it's unconfortable to hold without a mod attatched or a case, which is a bummer because the phone is good looking without anything on it. Also slippery as hell.

There are not many developers for the Moto Z, so there isn't many custom roms available compared to Samsung or even Sony. There are some unofficial builds from big projects like Lineage but there are some bugs here and there.

So, take it with a grain of salt because this is my experience, but beware because I'm not the only one reporting those issues. Just check out Lenovo forums and see how many battery drain topics are there, which got even worse after the 7.1.1 update.

Forget those awesome flip phones Motorola once built, because that company is dead. Motorola is just a brand name now, everything is Lenovo. When you boot the Moto Z there is a big ass Lenovo logo so you don't forget it. If I were you, I would go for the OnePlus 5 . Your experience may be worse with Motorola.

The phone uses nano sim though.

Don't. Battery life is awful, and Motorola does not support this device any more.

Mine got broken (bluetooth died), I sent it to Motorola for repair three months ago, and they refuse to fix or refund it, despite still being under warranty.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] LoadGamePL:
I see a lot of salty people here.

I've had my Moto Z since October 2017. I upgraded from Nexus 5x, which got bootloop. Is it worth it?

That depends on the price. I've got mine for 350$ and I'm pretty satisfied. The battery is similar to the one I've had in 5x (needs a recharge at the end of the day). However, with Incipio power pack it lasts a full day of heavy use.

No burn-ins whatsoever.

It was lagging a little bit at the beginning, but now its really snappy, miles better than my crap Nexus. I've played Vice City quite a lot and no major throttling issues happened to me (maybe some fps drops once a while, but it's not something drastic).

Motorola still supports this phone. Fast updates are long gone from the Google days, but they're still pretty average.

I really like this phone, but if I were you I would wait a little bit more for the Nokia 7 Plus. 2018 version looks amazing.

And stay away from any LG. They can't fix bootloop problems since G4. G6 and V30 are too young to judge if they're fine. They still may bootloop in the near future.

I forgot to add: Fingerprint sucks. Nexus 5x was better in that term.
