View 1 RepliesI flashed cwm 6.0.3.2 to my device samsung galaxy young s6312, stock android 4.1.2 jellybean, rooted, using a tutorial on xda. One of the reasons I flashed it was to create a nandroid backup. But when I try to backup my phone, it backs up boot image, recovery, system, and then it begins backing up data. After some time I got an error, "error while creating backup image of /data". Also when I rebooted my device after this, I saw that my external sd card (where the backup was getting stored) was totally full. So is this a problem with my storage?? Do I need more free space to create a Android backup?? Btw, I have 2 GB free memory on my external sd card.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI get the error as the title. sd card space is not the problem. I tried formatting the sd card. I have less than 50 apps installed.
Wiped dalvik cache, and all other sorts people say on other posts. (my phone is LG P936 so "fix permission" screws up the phone. all text disappears) have latest cwm recovery.
and still get the error.
I am using the below code to write a backup copy to SDCard and I get
java.io.IOException: Parent directory of file is not writable: /sdcard/mydbfile.db
private class ExportDatabaseFileTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Boolean> {
private final ProgressDialog dialog = new ProgressDialog(ctx);
// can use UI thread here

I thought some of you might find this useful.Making A Backup of Your Sense Scenes with Titanium Backup.Taken from Titanium CAN Restore Layouts - Sense "Scenes" - xda-developers and an entry by joel.bourquard:You can backup the Sense "Scenes" by filtering for System items (MENU -> Filters) and then selecting the item named "[DESKTOP] HTC Sense 1.00".Note that after restoring such system items, a reboot is needed for the changes to take effect.In Titanium Backup, about 99% of the phone's useful data is included in the list of items. You just need to pick the right ones.Usually you use Batch mode to backup all the *user* apps, and then you backup most green *system* items one by one.
For restoring you don't need to do it one by one: just open MENU->Batch, scroll a bit and use "Restore missing apps + all system data". That should pretty much do it in 1 click - or a few more clicks if you don't have the Donate version.
Whenever I try to make a backup using carbon it says I'd need to set the desktop backup password blank, but I already tried that a few times and it always gives me the same error. What do I need to do to make it work? I'm using an xperia s on ics.

I'd like to know if there's a way to use Titanium Backup to preform a backup and then transfer those backups to my computer ?
I know this may sound simple but am under the impression that when you make a backup of your ROM and other files on your device, it has to stay on the device.
When making a NANDROID backup, is it safer and more useful if one can store those backups on one's computer ?
Am sure there's a way to do this but am not sure if there's already an app for it.
with the latest versions of Titanium Backup, I can't seem to figure out how to do batch backup and restore of apps and data anymore.

I think it's useless backup apk files, I can download them from Google play store.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI know making a real unremovable app is impossible, but I hope I'll be able to find a way to make an app harder to remove.I want to make some kind of parental protection app. it should be installed easily without much technical knowledge ( preferred that it will work on unrooted devices). the app should be hard to remove or disable by the phone user.who ever installed the app should be able to remove (probably with a password in the app settings).
I don't care if technical users will be able to easily remove the app.I also don't care if the users will know that the app is installed on their device.I guess the simplest solution will be to some how hide the app from the app drawer.I saw some where that Cerberus has that option but I guess it requires a root.
another solution might be if there is an option in the android os itself setting an admin password that will not allow the user to install or remove any apps without the password.

I would like to make a very simple Android app, with no UI. Kind of a shortcut. I tried searching the web, and I didn't find what I was looking for.
The question is: Can I make a simple app, that only launches an activity?

What is required in the Android OS to support USB Gamepads?
I have purchased an Android TV Box from Chinavasion [URL] ..... which has 4 USB ports. While it's mostly going to be used to watch TV, I thought it might be nice to play a few games on it.
I can plug keyboards and mice into it and they work just fine. But gamepads don't work at all. I understand that from honeycomb gamepads are supposed to be supported natively so I guess there must be something missing in the firmware?
I have installed USB Device Info app. The gamepads are not listed in the "Android" tab, but do show up in the Linux tab (though to be fair, the same is true of the keyboard and mouse).
I'm using bluestack, but it terribly slow. My laptop have 4Gb ram, i tried to modify bluestacks ram on registry to 850MB but it's still slow.
I google and found this thread, using Eclipse to make Bluestacks faster: http:[url]....
I did what it said but my Eclipse look different with the eclipse in tutorial.
I'm using Eclipse IDE java developers, it doesn't have the Device Manager as the thread said, in stead this: http:[url]....
And my bluestacks is still very slow. I don't know what i did wrong, or is this method still work?
I've been out of the game for a while when it comes to making videos and editing them. I stopped fooling around with the hobby about eight years ago because it was such a hassle at the time, Sony handycam, the micro tapes, play the movie to put it on the computer, then edit it and put it in what was the thing then "mpeg4".
Will I bought myself a droid x two years ago and was gonna take up the hobby then but technology has come so far since eight years ago and the thought just scares me. Now I have a razr maxx, and i wanna start making videos, what kind of software would you suggest, what formats of videos are there now?
I feel that a cell phone would make the quality videos I'm interested in, it much better than my old Sony handycam
I have a problem with Viber 4.2 on Android 4.4.2 Samsung / Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition.
Viber 4.2 crashes while trying making the call (crash happens when other party answers) or while receiving the call (in the moment of answer). Also, Viber crashes while changing some options in Settings. For example, changing Settings->Privacy->Collect analytics crashes Viber. Uninstall/Reinstall/reboot device does not work. Downgrade to Viber 4.1 (still available on Viber web site) solved the problem but Viber 4.2 has new interesting options (block list, ring tone selection), so, I would like to use Viber 4.2 (but without these critical bugs).
Same problem was listed on other board (Moto G phone / Android 4.4.2).
I have an Android 4.0.4 tablet. Trying to decipher the Storage listing in Settings. There are two listings, each labeled as Internal Storage. This was advertised as having 512 Mb memory, but these numbers in Storage just don't add up.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm planning on using the UpdatezipCreator from this thread http[URL].... to build an update script for some APK updates I want to package up. It appears this app has the ability to build a update-binary file for you.
I have APK files in both the system/app and data/app that I want to be copied to my phone.
First thing, can I have multiple destinations for the files in the script? I haven't found any examples with two destinations and there doesn't seem to be a spot to configure the source which makes me think it just takes everything in the zip and puts it in the folder you specifiy in the package_extract_dir function and that adding a second "package_extract_dir" function would confuse it.
The second question is I keep running across scripts that us busybox instead of the built in commands. Why would you need to/want to do that?This is what I would think would work for my script:
Code:
ui_print("Preparing to update");
ui_print("Copying files..");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");[CODE].....
I've rooted my Sprint Galaxy S5 and it made the phone work slow. The buttons took a good 3-4 seconds before responding, and sometimes would not respond at all. "HealthService" would always crash, and other slowdowns like when I drag down the notification bar. I installed Xposed and BusyBox. However, the phone was working slow before those were installed. So I unrooted it and flashed the stock ROM, and everything worked fine. Time passed by... I decided to root it again. So I did, same method, same files, and it was working normal. No slowdowns, buttons worked perfectly and were responsive. "HealthService" still force stops but I presume that is an easy fix. Then I installed BusyBox and Xposed again. Once both were installed and after 5-7 minutes, the phone started to work slow as before.
