Edit CWM back up files - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to rename back ups in CWM v6.0.1.2. Had a look in the recovery setting but no options to rename. I'm using 3 ROMs to work off and it gets a little confusing with the dates , would be so much easier having named back ups ....Something like :
AOKP_02_10_2012
CM10_29_09_2012
Baked_27_09_2012
Any ideas please ? Yes I know I could try it and see for myself , but I don't want to mess about in recovery as it's a recipe for disaster.

Yeah u can name them whatever u want.

Download astro, or es file explorer. I know es you can rename them. Just fimd the clockworkmod/backup/ folder then long press and choose rename. Hope this helps!

Simple as that ? WOW do I feel stupid , just didn't want to risk losing what I had in the back ups.
Thank you.

[MOD][THEME] Basic Black (5.24.11)

Hey all.
I was messing around today and decided to post this. If not for the current lack of development, I probably wouldn't even post this.
Just push twframework-res.apk with adb, root explorer or root manager. be sure you overwrite the existing .apk.
The screenshot posted below was taken on the fly. you'll notice I'm using TEAM AERODKNG's Notification bar... Frankly, their theme is radness, but I thought maybe someone would want a little change!
word up, folks. happy MoDding.

very nice! I would like this but without the status bar, something in me doesnt want to replace stock with stock.
I hear yah on posting things like this because Roms arent available yet. But, then again, Im new and a didnt teach myself how to theme/make Roms yet.

Quick question, is this twframework-res supposed to replace framework-res? If not i screwed up. I havent had to restore from CWM, anyway I can get my backup restored? I copied the original to SD.

LOL Corradokng hooked it up with a flashable framework-res.apk. Im back and will try this again. Im a goof ball and didnt check but since im back up i went into system/framework and see the following files, twframework-res.apk and framework-res.apk. I mistakenly changed the name and pasted, which softbricked.
I slapped myself in the head and tested again. Worked like a charm! I like the look, way better than before.
NOTE: Copy file to System/Framework folder
i wanna test it out. could just explain to me what you mean by push? where or oveer what do i put the .apk? thanks

go into framework folder and copy twframework-res.apk to a safe place on your sd card, in case you want to revert. With the file in the OP paste it into that directory, making sure you have w/r in root explorer or whatever you use.

Ok so what i did was i put the file the op made on my sd card. then i went into root explorer system/framwork found the tw-framework file you were talking about and moved it to another file on my sd card and pasted the file the op gave in system/framework but nothing happened? reboot?

try supermanager, root explorer for some reason hasnt been playing to nicely with system files and binary files.
if your follwing the process verbatim and nothing is happening try super manager or another file manager with root permissions. It should work without a hitch

Wat do u mean by u can't do a restore with cwm beta 3?.... i have had crash issues and restored my fone 4times already from recovery....... so i'm guessing ur sayin i'm lucky? i didnt know or think restore and backup was an issue on cwm_Beta3..
Are you saying you have successfully done a full restore of a full nandroid backup?? If so that would be a big deal since I think that was the last issue with the cwm beta. Drhonk was saying he got a full restore to work at least without error but it hung on reboot.

@Ricky download file to your computer hook your phone up to the computer mount phone to computer (USB mass storage) right click file go down to send to and send it to the proper mass storage for your phone I have vista so that's how it works for me that should put the file on the root of your SD card open root explorer first go into system/framework go down to the twres apk long press it and select copy you will see paste at the bottom of your screen hit the back button twice go down to SD and put the copy in any sub folder you may want I use downloads then go down to the new file on your SD card from robbitt long press it hit move go back to system/framework in the upper right hand corner you will see a r/w press that then hit paste it will say it already exists do u want overwrite click yes back out then reboot should work with no problem.I think what u did was move the orig twres file instead of copying it hope this helps you.And thanks to robbitt love this mod sometimes its just the little things

Recovery question

Can I change the name of my nandroid backups?
I want to keep a few but have a hard time remembering what they are when they are displayed as a date only. I do not know enough about clockworkmod to know whether I can change the names of my backups or not .
Thanks

Yes you can change the name. Go into RomManager. Then go into Manage and Restore Backups. Choose the one you want to change and long press on it and let off. It will then give you choices, Restore-Rename-Delete. Just choose Rename. A bubble will pop up with the name highlighted. Tap and rename. They are displayed year/month/day/time . Hope that helps .
or just go into a file explorer like root explorer
got to /Sdcard>Clockworkmod>Backup>And then rename it
should work
Great thanks. I was just worried the recovery was expecting the name format to be specific or something and that changing it would bork my recoveries.
Thanks everyone.

word of advice, when renaming it, do not put spaces in the folder name or else you'll get an error when trying to restore it.

I installed root explorer too but i cant get the system file
I can't recall if root explorer has the option to set the home folder (phone is off, can't see), but it's easy enough, no matter what your home folder is. at the top, if there is a "parent" folder, you will see an unnamed folder, called "..."
that is your place to go "one folder up"
example:
/ is your main folder that contains all other data and folders in your phone.
/system is your system folder.
if you see something like this:
/mnt/sdcard/external_sd
then you are browsing files on your sd card.
let's say you have these folders on your sd card as you browse using root explore:
()...
()adobe
()ebooks
()Titanium
click on the ()... to go up to the next folder. when you reach the main root, you'll see something like this (not exact):
()cache
()data
()mnt
()sys
()system
I can't make it any simpler to find than that. good luck...

Speed up Nandroid Backups and Restore

Found this while searching today and it works great! Go into sdcard/clockworkmod and create a file named ".hidenandroidprogress" without the parenthesis. The easiest way I have found to do this is using ES File Explorer and go into your sdcard/clockworkmod and hit the menu button and select new, then file and call it ".hidenandroidprogress " . This file wont show up until you look at your phone on your computer but its there. Im sure you can use the same process using Root explorer.

I found out the most Easy way to edit .apk right from ur android

Hi every one,
Today is my first day with xda premium app and am happy to tel u guys that I found out a easy way to edit .apk files right from ur rooted android mobile without the help of PC or development knowledge.. am a newbie not a dev!
So here is wat u need to begin
1) The apk file which u need to edit
2) Root explorer or any root file browser
3) Zipsigner 2 or any signing tool
4) patience to scroll between folders
So lets begin;
Open the root explorer and long click the apk file in /sdcard
Extract all the contents and go to extracted folder; in most of the case u get 5 files
Among them Delete Meta - inf folder and in res folder u can edit wat u want
Make sure not to delete anything except Meta Inf folder
Replace the png which u need
Remember while replacing a png the name should be exact as the parent file
After playing wit files go back and multiselect the remaining 4 files and zip them wit any name
After zipping rename the .zip file into .apk file using the same root explorer
Now go to zipsigner app and sign the modified apk file with platform key
Uninstall the app which u want to replace and install the modified apk and here u go u have ur customized app in ur menu LOLZ.. reply if u have any problems and pls pls don't forget to hit thanks button..
Hit thanks button if I had helped u..

NinjaMorph. Done.
I'm gonna try this mate, hopefully as easy as mention

Use this xplore "x-plore "
This is give
Open apk as zip
Option ..
The same option is in root explorer as "extract the contents" and dealing with ninjamorph didn't help me and some times after applying theme using ninja and reboot whoa I was stuck at boot loop.. so this process is safe than any other
