Not only is adb backup limited, if I remember correctly, adb backup compatibility is removed in the more recent versions of Android.
[General Questions and Answers] simplepinoi177:
OMG don't I know it!

Back when I used it on my Pixel 2 XL (which was the last time I was able to use TWRP as it wasn't supported for my Pixel 5), I had headaches every month on what you are describing!

On 2 phones, I would be forced to desperately free up space so there was more free space on the phone than was taken up by the /data & /internal_sd. That's when I learned how much random cached & temporary data apps store (particularly Spotify; as it pretty much downloads high quality audio files for every single song you listen to, and keeps it in the device just in case you relisten to it or wish for it offline) -- which made me learn how much SDMaid and App2SD helped in those cases. Even if there was some compression that TWRP makes in the backups, it was never quite enough. Towards the end and higher usage (data storage using), I would even have to resort to moving files/folders off the device to an external temporarily (that didn't need to be backed up) just so enough space could be made, haul off the nandroid backup, then put those files/folders back.

But in the end, I never kept the nandroid backup on the device. As I was using it purely for backup purposes, why would anyone? It's just not a smart idea -- the whole point of making a backup is if something happens to the device (especially a physical happening) and the device needs to be replaced or wiped completely, you need to have it externally to make use of it and to keep it safe.

It's been near 5 years...thanks for the trigger on a trip down memory lane....makes me really miss having the safety net of a nandroid backup; even through all the headaches...
[General Questions and Answers] Sasori323:
This seems an option given my situation. What is Busybox exactly? Does this method require things like root or opened bootloader? What exactly are these commands going to do? I've never heard from it before
[General Questions and Answers] Sasori323:
I've investigated a bit on this BusyBox thing. The official web says the nanddump dumps an "MTD device". I'm not familiarised with Linux software at all, could you help me a bit here?

- Will this backup my phone completely? Like internal storage, app data, etc?

- What options do you recommend I use on the command and why?

- How can I restore this later on my device?

- Can I restore it later on a different device or does it have to be the same?

- Before using this tool, are there any things I should know? I know a bit more of tech that other people in my range but I don't consider myself "tech-savvy" and I'm still in high-school so certain areas (specially Linux related and generally advanced stuff) I just don't understand, and my goal is to essentially know what I'm doing, not just copy-paste commands although that may be the "easy" way. Where can I know more about this field to boost my tech knowledge? Thank you

After the last August security update, voice calls from Stock phone app and 3rd party apps like whatsapp or instagram have a ver low volume, I already check call volume and it's at 100%, sadly I have to answer every single call in speaker mode, does anyone else have this problem too?

when I try to go in settings to enable NFC there is no toggle for it

and if I try to do it from a QS tile ,the tile says unavailable

btw great rom as Elixr has been on my other devices. Does not make the phone overheat like pixel experience and stability and performance are Great
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] hongthien68:
Thank you very much I will try it

It has no camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] techbrutha:
I still have a rooted Note 8 Exynos on Android Nougat and have the coveted Dual Camera feature on it. That is, bar none, the best feature on the phone. If I use your ROM, would I still be able to use the Dual Camera feature?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] hongthien68:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] mrxrspp011:
I'm loving this rom 100% on my note 8 dual sim, it's very beautiful and fantastic, There's a drop in performance sometimes I think it might get wet in the future I'm grateful, in all roms based on the pixel that I've tested this one has surpassed it, a lot thank you, congratulations 😊

Looks like my battery drains very quickly. Overall. This rom is very good.

I've never seen a thread like this before, there's more links and information about on how to give you money than about your rom

Its quite of putting if I'm honest bud

The note is that old, you'd be lucky to get 1 donation, especially when considering how you have presented your rom/money maker

I'm dubious to install it now, feels like ì should check if everything is secure after installing

Or am I being daft?

I've not been on here for donkey years, back from the s3, HTC desire HTC one x day's

When flashing roms with Android versions of 5 or 6 above the last update that was officially released for the device that you were using

Seems not such a big deal these days

Android 11 Android 13, there's no difference between them even Android 10 or 9

Seems all the same now

Samsung s2 was the best phone imo

I mean compared with the last generation before it,
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] hongthien68:
I admit this rom is very good.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] gandyprakoso:

What about camera? can i use gcam?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Gouldypg26:
Yeah I'm going to install your rom sometime today, and id like to say my last message was probably a bit over the top, and more drama than what was warranted if I'm honest bud

So ill update the thread with my experience and thoughts on your rom after I've got it up and running
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] gandyprakoso:
You can install gcam directly from playstore. But if you ask about moded gcam, you need to try it yourself
[Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Questions & Answers] Venus567:
Why is it phone only charge at 400mA when 60% battery? Is it same for other people? I have another phone mi 9t pro at 60% it charge at 2000mA. Original charger had problem but couldn't find original charger in Google so I used my other charger for both phones Anker 511 nano 3 30W. The only difference was the 20v 1.25A original charger and 20V 1.5A anker. Both phones max is 27W according to gsmarena. I use Ampere app from Google play. Now my phone at 66% went to 350mA. I just bought the anker charger. Already tried reset phone and other things still same. Ok it's weird now 70% battery and ampere app is reporting as full battery. Going to wait a bit if it goes higher. 72% now 300mA saw a few unspec failure message in the app. I'm thinking it is seeing the max battery as lower than 100% maybe that's why it charging slower? Well 73% and ampere is reporting as full battery. Is a new charger going to fix this or is there anyway to fix this problem? Phone is charging and ampere app is reporting as full but now 76%. Other charging apps also report as full but phone is actually charging slowly. Online shop selling Xiaomi 33w wall charger but not sure if it will fix the problem and quite expensive in my country.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] andellove:
hi, i bought a second half pixel 6 pro. but when it arrives i see that is a production MDM device. i cant return it to the seller because of no contactd information and through the seller site he/she is now not active

is the are possibillity to remove the MDM account. is saw some video's on youtube but its just bypass it . i try to install/flash a new rom but i cant unlock the OEM. it is grey so i thinks its default on the firmware/rom.

i hope there is someone who can help me to solve the problem and to remove the MDM account etc..

phone details:

grade a - sku description: GOG PIXBLA D EMO

for more details let me know

many thanks in advance

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] V0latyle:
Unfortunately I don't have any advice for you on that.

No. If the bootloader were unlocked, it would be possible to remove the MDM lock; that's why the MDM lock prevents OEM Unlocking.

There is unfortunately no way around this. I would recommend pursuing a return with the seller but it sounds like you can't contact them. Unfortunately my friend I think you have been scammed.

Please make sure you only buy from trustworthy and reputable sources.

[Touch Pro CDMA] TechnoHippie:
I purchased a HTC Touch Pro from MobiPCS here in Hawaii.

Unfornatually - the clowns at MobiPCS hacked the unit to run on their network - which all things considered would not of been so bad but it only worked in 1x...so

I installed the stock sprint rom and radio rom - called sprint and activated the phone on their network - problem is that now I have no internet at all.

I'm sure that the ##778 and ##DATA items where changed and now I don't know what all should be in there - anyone have any ideas here? Sprint is of no help and the people at MobiPCS have turned into complete jerks - refuse to replace the phone (they ****ed up) or give me my money back.
[Touch Pro CDMA] WryIchi:
I'm having a similar problem. Mine was because, when I went to Best Buy to upgrade my phone (they were the only place in town who had one left), Sprint's service was down, so he called me later to tell me how to activate it.

There are two things you need to do (as far as I know. I'm still working on it):

1: Call Sprint, have them run through everything, I think there's something they need to activate on their end. If they decide to help you, then they'll tell you about the next step. If not, read on.

2: Dial ##778#, hit "Edit". Put in your lock code. Hit "View Info", click on the "mip setting", go into the menu and hit edit. Change "Active User Profile Index" from 0 to 1. Hit OK, then Save. Your phone should reboot, and you're good.

The caveat, of course is that if Sprint won't do anything on their end (I think they need to activate something on their computer), or if you don't know your lock code, you're screwed.
[Touch Pro CDMA] cd85233:
No, you can get your own MSL code.

http://www.baf.cc/mobile

Or call sprint and ask them to give it to you. Just say, " I was on the line with a sprint representative who was going to give me my MLS...MSL Code I think...I need it to reset my phone..."

Done that before, Sprint will do anything if u talk to them slowly enough. haha

Hope this helps with the code.

BTW, I had the same prob, that 0 to 1 thing helps. I had to switch from 0 to 1 and then hard reset a few times.

Good Luck,

CD
[Touch Pro CDMA] smotrs:
One of the things I learned when talking to Sprint was to make sure you ask for Advanced Tech Support. The first tech support you come to is for basic problems, only the Advanced Tech Support group seems to understand the WinMo phones and they can use the OMA tool to access your phone and make the necessary changes on their end as well.

Also, they had me verify the following and change appropriately,

Settings> Connections> Advanced> Select Network - Both need to be set to Sprint

Settings> Connections> Advanced> Dialing Rules - Unchecked with the bullet hi-lited for mobile

Settings> Connections> Advanced> Exceptions - Empty​

Then we went back into the ##Data# screen, did a restore settings which reset the phone. Lastly we did a Update Profile. All the while, he was using the OMA tool to make sure the configurations were happening.

You can read more about it on Sprints forum if you like.

[Red Magic 8 pro] donmecca007:
Hello, I have a RedMagic 8s Pro and I can't make or receive phone calls. It keeps going in RTT mode and I can't hear them and they can't hear me. Does any know how to disable RTT, because there's no option to do so in the settings.
[Red Magic 8 pro] Storkie:
Similar issue here on Verizon in the US. I can switch to voice calls after dialing, but every call starts as an RTT call. However, I can receive calls and don't have an issue hearing the other person or being heard by them.
[Red Magic 8 pro] ghettiguru:
Yes I'm having this too and I've even dug through the ADB tables the global tables and the system tables and found settings for this and set every instance of RTT calling to zero and disabled and it does no good. I've done so by ADB command I've tried adding my settings put global tether-dun-required command that allows adding a dun APN ... Nothing works well the commands go through but nothing actually does its job. You can do a settings get and it'll return once you gave it for the value but red magic seems not to listen to ADB commands. I'm stumped on this one myself if someone figures out how to disable this as you can't use a lot of services a lot of times it doesn't want to switch to voice calling it'll error out, And you can't do automated 1-800 number press 4 at the tone type things like this
[MX Player] puterboy:
I find myself frequently having to switch the playback speed for different types of media. For example, 1x for music or 1.5x or even 2x for podcasts.

At a minimum it would be nice to be able to set a default speed per folder (or maybe even stream site if streaming).

Speed for subfolders would be inherited unless overriden for that subfolder (in which case it's subfolders would inherit the new default).

This way I could put my podcast downloads in 1 folder heirarchy and music in another.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aserar:
Hello everyone

Trying to modify an aosp rom. I've been doing an extensive research on the subject (not a dev) but I hit a wall here. I managed to unpack payload.bin into img files, modifying one file, and repack it into img again. Now I need to repack the img files into payload.bin again. The only method I found is using Python and Payload Dumper Tool but I've had 5 errors so far and spent about 2-3 hrs researching and solving each error only to get a different error right after it 😡. Is there another way to repack the img files into payload.bin other than payload dumper tool? If not, can someone share which files, versions and scripts they are using exactly that would get the job done?

Thanks in advance

[MX Player] puterboy:
I find that I often accidentally hit the "Switch to New Audio Player" button in the traditional player -- especially since the button is so darn large and close to other buttons.

This happens particularly when I am accessing the player when exercising and don't have 100% concentration on what I am hitting which results in suddenly switching to the new player and starting up the new player from the beginning of the clip -- which I then need to manually exit and return to the original player

I really, really prefer the traditional player and NEVER EVER, EVER want to switch the new player -- so why am I constantly asked to do something that I have refused to do thousands of times already.

Could there be a way to permanently disable this offer button?

I am a paid MX Pro user and shouldn't be subject to such constant nags.
