Caution: For anyone who has set up parallel apps

There is a known bug in TWRP that prevents backup of the data partition if you have either set up parallel apps or have (sometimes) tapped the Settings/Apps/Parallel Apps button. This causes files/folders to be created that prevent TWRP from successfully backing up the data partition. These files/folders have "999" in them. The only way to backup your data using TWRP is to find and delete all the "999" files/folders. This deleting can be done in the TWRP File Manager I believe.

---------- Post added at 12:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 PM ----------

That is your problem for sure. If you find all of them and note their locations, then you should be able to delete them from TWRP File Manager before making a backup.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Flying Fox:
Even from TWRP File Manager I couldn't delete them. Maybe only the beer was bad yesterday .. I just synced everything to my pc and will try again..

I've been messing with it but I'm doing this stuff at work lol on my breaks so j don't really get time. It has to do with the newest patches put in with the drm graphics it seems like it pulling things in to fast and freezing I need a good log to look at
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lollyjay:
Have you seen any way to get data backup not to error out from the "999" files?

Try Solid Explorer if you have root

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lollyjay:
It's a headache for anyone who set up parallel apps. I avoid them like the plague lol
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] joemossjr:
Lol so why can't they be deleted?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lollyjay:
I had this problem on my op5t. I found them and deleted them using Solid Explorer with root privileges. But every time after that, they were created again. So, I did a clean install and forgot about parallel apps until TWRP devs figure it out:p

I'm curious what theme are you using in this picture?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lollyjay:
Try this:

Get android terminal emulator from play store

open the app

at the $ prompt, type su and hit enter

it should ask you for root privileges; answer yes

you should now see a # prompt

at the # prompt, type remove-user 999 and hit enter

hopefully it will give you a positive response

What is the benefit of using a temporary TWRP as opposed to the other "permanent" option.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Flying Fox:
I never wanted these parallel apps, I actually didn´t know them before. When a read about them and the problems they caused, I just wanted to know what really could happen.. now I know. I had the “999-folders” before. But then I couldn´t delete them anymore. No idea why. It´s not due to the system or the rom. Of course it´s due to me - I'm aware of that ... does not matter.

Now I have completely rebuilt my system (using the all.flash.bat method of [MENTION=4712355]mauronofrio[/MENTION] once again). It was clear that this way of “starting from scratch” would not solve all issues. For example, I had hibernated certain applications via Titanium Backup, including Chrome, instead I had updated the Android Web Viewer. These settings have not changed during this procedure and have led to a bad mismatch after flashing my custom rom.

Finally, I took an old nandroid which I could restore with success and updated my stuff with the latest Titanium Backup. Now everything seems to work and also nandroids can be done again without the unwanted error 255 ;)

But next time I probably would really start from scratch, go back to factory settings and lock the bootloader - then unlock it again and reinstall everything. The homemade mistakes end up deeper in the system than you think. Another experience more.

Anyway, thanks for all your advice

Sorry I read your advice too late. This would have been the best possibility for sure. But the next time, thanks a lot!

By the way, I had to click many "thanks-buttons" ;) ... have a nice evening..
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lollyjay:
I think that we will have to wait for a permanent solution. Actually I don't miss parallel apps anyway :o

Read OP
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Flying Fox:
I did not even know they existed.

Ok, sorry, back to topic. Great thread, good working unofficial twrp and detailed instructions in #1. A big thank s to [MENTION=1468652]charlieb620[/MENTION] for the effort and sharing with the community!

My real question at the beginning was, if I can set up the updated twrp-boot file also permanently. This has been clarified in my countless attempts. The answer is No :)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lollyjay:
Well as a matter of fact it can be "permanently" if you use the method in the OP. I followed the directions and it went well without problems
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] xXx:
thanks. I also reviewed what's available for the Pixel and there they also have roms using aroma Installers. So it doesn't seem to be an generic issue of the new shared boot partition.

What I also tried is to make use of FlashFire which support aroma Installers and is supposed to flash roms from running Android without any twrp. Guess what, it don't work as well on the op6. But it works fine on my OP5. I don't know how much this helps but I thought I mention it.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lrod55:
Not seeing the boot.img file in phone storage, saw all other files fine. Tried other steps and starting over, now TWRP won't even get past it's initial screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Aloha,

my daughter is 14... shes getting into trouble left and right. we have been good parents, providing for her needs as best we can.... active in the PTA... kept her mind in the books, the extracurriculars... everything we could. my wife doesnt work, and stays on her back constantly....

but...

some kids are more rebellious than others, and mine... mine is off the deep end.

shes smoking pot... shes sexually active... everything. we have done everything but home school her, and provide no outside contact. the urge is too strong.

having that been said, i want to monitor her.

im hoping that someone out there knows of a (free?) keylogger for XDA. my intention is to buy her a Tilt, install the keylogger, and pretend i dont know what shes doing. i want to act like im one step ahead of her... if i see shes making plans to party, we are having family movie night. if shes trying to buy herb, my intention is to take her to the beach. i want to distract her, while still allowing her the freedom children need.

i tried calling the network providers to see if i could get a log of the texts she sends... no dice....

has any one seen any thing like this?

thank you ahead of time... :confused:
[General Topics] Draiko:
If you go with the Mogul, the onboard GPS can be used to track her wherever she is... Vito Findme is a great free app for that sort of thing.

I'm sure there are Keyloggers for PPCs, I just don't know of any off the top of my head, I'll keep an eye out.

Sorry to hear about your kid, she'll shape up... she sounds like she likes the taboo... she needs to become bored with the bad-girl stuff.
[General Topics] SimpleSurfer:
the tilt also has GPS... i had chosen that machine because of that...

kids will be kids...and mine is still on the honor roll... but... shes making some bad choices, and i wont take the back seat on her life....

[General Topics] VDubGli:
Pot is not a drug. It grows in the ground. If you start finding small coke baggies, then i'd start worrying. I started smoking at 16, now i'm 20, my parents don't approve of it, but they let me make my own choices. I smoke daily, attend college, and work. It doesn't affect my daily routine at all. Kids learn from their mistakes, just like I have. I know you love your child, and don't want to see her get hurt, but kids will be kids, they will explore. In my opinion, I think you're going a little overboard thinking about tracking her with gps.
[General Topics] boobbbers:
Im with VDub here sorta. Pot isn't something to be flipping overbord about, anything else would be WAY WORSE, but shes still under your disgression at the age of 14, and your word is your word.

But i believe getting into key logging and gps tracking is way out of perportion. That will just lead to more trouble between the two of you and will just end up making the problems (her actions) even less desireable to you.

Just my 2 cents.

and she is a she... and can you really say that it has no negative side effects? daily use has been proven to have negative side effects... not theory, its fact.

men have less drama tah deal with... she sees gold in some potheads eyes, not for the content of his character, but because of the content of his ziplock.

meh... not to get all twisted from the XDA vision.....

is this possible? if not, any one wanna help dev it? im sure there is a huge market for this.

[General Topics] gavink:
Sounds like issues that need more than a keylogger to resolve! Not to mention the trust issues that would come up if/when she found out about it.

I know a couple that had behavior problems with their daughter and used "The Total Transformation Program", by James Lehman. They didn't want to go to counseling (didn't want to involve "outsiders" in their personal issues).

They said it wasn't cheap ($200-$300, I think), but that it quickly made all the difference in the world.

(I have no financial or other interest in the program)
[General Topics] sergiopi:
I survived to my 'ties

I am over 50 now. Easy to understand WHEN I was teen, and what kind of new world we were dreaming...

The strongest help I received from my parents was "Is YOUR life, not OURS, we will never stop to tell you our ideas about "what is right and what is wrong", but the life you are living or destroying is YOURS!

No surprises, light check, lot of "what's up?" (and screams) :). Now we have a boy (18) and a girl (16). Cat Stevens, (father and son), music, talking, (but also "this is the door, if you don't like to live here, you have legs, hands, eyes, mouth,..")

When they are left alone in the house for holidays we call home to say " we will be at home at 4 PM", when my plane is cancelled I call to tell "I am coming", I hate secret controls, surprises, even in business meeetings!

IMHO sometimes the better choice is to leave them alone, you will ignore what they are doing (less pain for you) and they will start to manage their lifestyle not AGAINST the parents but AS the road to the future! Exactly what happened when they started to the school: DISEASES, but they, BECAUSE OF those contacts, developed immunity. Leave her live some (bad too) experiences, when you are 14een you will learn from, and you still have strong relationships with parents. Bad experiences in this stage are needed to develop immune system! Avoid? and you will be defenceless!

"Sniff" her's digital life, you will discover.... and THEN? §*%£$%& and the results?

Try to imagine if SHE will discover you are sniffing her's life!

[General Topics] E_Shinobi:
You should take your daughter to the beach and have family evenings etc on a daily basis instead of spying on her.

If my parent had been such control freaks, I'm pretty sure I would have started smoking pot at that age, to.

Extracurricula and books YOU think are good for your daughter drive her into rebellious behaviour.

My advise is: Find out what your daughter really wants to do after school (and after having done her homework), and if that is watching TV or hang out, let her watch TV and hang out...

Anyways, I don't believe anyone would buy a tilt to spy on their children, I suppose this is just someone trying to spy on random people.
[General Topics] mchapman007:
This is awesome.

I got caught smoking pot in high school and suffered the consequences for it. I didn't do it again after that but my dad found the pipe in my golf bag a year later and accused me of it smelling fresh. I asked him, how would you know if it was fresh? He never said anything about it again....

So I guess my point is, in my case... Monkey see, Monkey do!

The Story is nice, but people the point of the thread is not to give him Parenting Advise, but to give him a link to a Keylogger. How you raise your child is your biz, if he wants to Log the Keys on her Phone, that's his right until she hits 18 moves out, and gets a damn job you slacker. Sorry had a flash back to my dad. I turned out ok.

pot is illegal either way, no matter where it grows. I'm 19 and i never smoked pot in my life. 14 is way to young i think you need to show her who is boss, punish her until she cleans up her act, take the phone and computer away.

How would you feel if you found out your wife has a keylogger installed on your phone?
[General Topics] kbcherry:
This is the best post so far. But the rest of you make me laugh. I'm glad several of you smoked pot, messed around and turned out fine. I had friends on both sides of this story. For each of them that smoked it up and turned into model citizens I had two others that graduated to crack or heroin, turned into alcoholics or simply ruined their lives. We can debate until the cows come home whether pot should be illegal or not. But the plain fact is that it is. Some of us can handle it, some of us can't. But 14 is way too young to leave that decision up to the child. I too started having fun very early in life, and I too turned out fine. I got away with a ton of stuff and now that I have a four and two year old there is no way in the world I want them doing the stuff I did. But hey, once they are 18, like everyone else here (including SimpleSurfer's daughter), they can do whatever they want.:)

mhm GPS Monitoring should be abit hard i think.

Cause it drains the battery a LOT!

My Artemis would only last ~3 hours i think, with GPS on.

So the only think would be a Programm/Script, that turns on GPS, logs the Coordinates (maybe sends them via SMS) and the turns off GPS again.

Otherwise the Battery wouldn't last very long!

I agree: don't be a hypocrite be a hero; communicate, don't spy. You are living on the Islands and talking like you are Snoopy-cool; you should realize that this is the path you set, you are the parent. You start turning into super-sleuth in the last few years before she is a legal adult then you will wind up with some massive issues of trust down the line.

In Holland it's legal for a 16 year old to go into a coffee-shop and buy hash or grass with out their parent's permission, it's been this way since the late 70's, and they have less teen-use of Cannabis than here in the states where it's prohibited. Pot is not your problem, be glad she is not binge drinking like most adolescents.

Talk to her about contraception and responsible use of substances; be it pot or fast food, don't be a spy, she is getting older, not younger, treat her like the adult she is inevitably turning into.

for monitoring u must go out of law try google "SIM CLONING".
[General Topics] tft:
double post.
[General Topics] tft:
well if you really want to monitor her then i suggestion nextel. they have tools that no provider has.

you can:

track her phone with gps

track sms messages send

track messages received

track pics sent/received

track numbers being sms most often

block certain sms numbers from sending/receiving messages.

many other stuff too.

no one else has these options that can all be accessed online.

the only thing is nextel doesn't have a lot of phones to choose from but they certainly have what you need to know everytime she farts.

at 14 a phone can only make the problems worse., hell, my mom would of never gave me a phone at that age. sounds like it's time for discipline or better yet, boot camp discipline. thats the only thing going to fix the problem.. been there.

I was only kidding.... you should try a program called WIMP it will send you gps coordinates of her whereabouts and if you want to monitor her sms's there is a program will let you see sms incoming and outgoing and even deleted sms but you need the sim card for it. not sure what its called but if u google "retrieve deleted sms" it should come up

On a side note, kids will be kids you can't watch them all the time, the more you forbid the more they want to do it. most of the time the kids will grow out of it. i did stupid sh*t when i was younger and my dad said he was afraid that i was not going to graduate high school. and now i am only 9 classes away from having a BS in Comp Engineering so let her be a little rebelus but the important thing is that she gets good grades and she does not get arrested as both of those are negative long term effects.
[General Topics] BBowermaster:
I know we're not supposed to give you parenting advice, but here's my perspective. I'm currently 24, graduated college and have a successful career in business management. I had my first drink my freshman year of high school. My parents knew, the parents of the friend whose house I was at knew, and hell, she and the rest of her family WERE THERE. One of them was bartending the party for the adults and high school kids.

Fact of the matter is, they knew it was illegal, but at the same time, they knew we would do it anyway, so they figure they would guide us in how to do it responsibly.

We would have parties with alcohol all the time. All of us were honor roll students, in Honors and AP classes, Humanites graduates, National Honors Society, etc. One of the people who partied with us was our salutatorian, who was also known to smoke pot. We drank (illegally) responsibly. We made sure nobody drove home drunk. We slept on friends couches, parents made sure kids got home safely, even if they had to drive them home.

In other words, you have to let them make their own choices, but you can guide them to make RESPONSIBLE choices. She's going to have sex, guide her and educate her about having safe sex like Todd said.

Explain to her the positives and negatives of smoking pot, and that if she is going to do it, it needs to be under your roof so you can supervise and you can know she won't get high and drive. Sure, its illegal and you'll be responsible if she gets caught, but hell, you admitted you and your sons spark up all the time.

Basically, you're children are going to make bad decisions, its all about guiding them to limit the need for damage control.

[General Topics] krishan2207:
sorry i didnt get u.
[General Topics] fallenczar:
"The "cloned" SIM card will work just like the original meaning you can make a call, send an SMS, manage phonebook and SMS messages too. You can use the "cloned" SIM and the original SIM simultaneously meaning both of your SIMs will have network and both can send SMS at the same time. However, only one of the active SIMs can make a phone call at any time. Simultaneous calls are not allowed because the call will immediately be disconnected by your Network Provider. Regarding recieving SMS from other people, only one of the SIMs will recieve the message. This is a "first-come-first-serve" basis and no bias is given to the original SIM. Obviously, the bills for the "cloned" SIM will also be reflected to the bills of the original SIM. Not all phones accept "cloned" SIMs. The Nok 9210 rejects cloned SIMs as well as most new 3G phones"
