Nandroid Backup timestamp? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

My backups are reading 1970 for the year. How do I change this? For my own education where are these process getting the time from?
Thanks

I think this is a known issue in the latest version of CWM at the moment. I also have this problem, not sure there's a fix yet though I could be wrong.

Is a known problem on all versions of CWM right now. If it really bother you use ROM manager to create backups and name them whatever you want.

Use twrp and name your backups or just rename them after u are done

Thanks for the response. I was not aware it was a known issue.

It bothered me until I realized that it if you sort by date, it'll actually still be accurate in time (as in the one's that are chronologically latest are your most recent).

And please search. This is a common issue and will probably be fixed in an update to CWM at some point.

problems found on LINK UP[ROM][CWM] updated 12/23/2011 | AOSP Style 2.1 | KJ6}

I installed this rom ( LINK UP[ROM][CWM] updated 12/23/2011 | AOSP Style 2.1 | KJ6} ) and got into lots of bugs so I'm gonna share it here what I did to fix it
1. Root was not working properly can't get permission from superuser
FIX: (I have to root the phone again with superoneclick 1.6.5 is the only one working for me)
2. SU binary won't update missing md5 blablabla cannot remember what it was
FIX: (I installed busybox to fix the missing file)
3. Android Keyboard force close error (the application android keyboard process com.android.inputmethod.latin)
FIX: (I look for gingerbread keyboard and flashed it)
You should post in the rom's thread so that the author takes notice.
EDIT
Just noticed you don't have enough posts to post in the dev section yet.
Try PM'ing him a link to this thread I guess.
Have you tried a data wipe and then reflashing? I was on that rom with no issues

Yeah, I had no problems with this ROM either... It's great, actually.
Rather than creating a thread saying that this person's ROM creates problems, PM is the best choice. Especially if you've read through the ROM thread and did not see a bunch of complaints.

jeeze, how many times do I have to tell people that I am working on a massive update. The android keyboard fc is a problem with Valhalla final. Also the root isn't an issue. Plus all users should flash the beta 2d kernel.

Maybe you should post this info in the OP of your development thread so you don't have to keep telling people. it first look like you ever update it and I wouldn't expect many folks around here to read the entire thread even though they should. maybe you should Post a section about other suggestions such as update to the new kernel and that the keyboard fc is a known issue. Btw, in observation, it looks like you might be starting to understand why people ask you to keep quiet about cm variations un less you have some development to offer

maybe its just me. I wasn't able to post a reply on that dev thread because I don't have enough post so I just make a new one and maybe can help other new user too having same issue.
I'm not saying that its the dev I just wanna share it to other users that might have same problem
I was on KD1 rom and reset my phone to factory settings delete cache in cwm and installed the rom. that what I did. and for the android keyboard I was gonna post the link for android keyboard here where I got it but it won't let me

Being on froyo and flashing a GB ROM may have been the "root" of your problems. Try my upgrade guide then re flash the ROM and give us an update

so far im not getting any issue going on right now after the fix I did.
I also have some question I have a Samsung Vibrant (T959) which has Bionix V based on froyo I believe and I really like it so I just wanna know if there's a rom like that for Galaxy S 4G? I've tried to flashed the bionix frost but I didn't like the custom theme running on proluncher and I don't like apps running in the background I like my phone on stock theme
EDIT: I didn't like the music player that comes on this AOSP syle rom I like the one that comes with the bionic V that I have on my Vibrant and I tried to install that music player apk I took from my vibrant to my galaxy s 4g but Im getting force close error is there a way to make it work?
use anything you want. Also, can people stop making a complain thread and close it.

People are needy. Complaints are in every Dev thread. Just something you will have to deal with.

lol yeah that what I need I'm just a new guy here and trying to learn everything slowly

[Q] What can be removed

Sorry if this has been covered but I did a search and didn't find anything, but then it could just be my lousy search skills. I had to rebuild my Charge using IMNUTS GREAT recovery method, (THANKS IMNUTS you saved my sanity) now I am starting with the stock ROM and is there a list of applications I can safely remove with TB. DOn't want to remove somthing I shouldn't and break it. Also one last question I was not able to succesfully restore from a backup I did in CWM. Is there a trick to making and restoring reliable backups using CWM?
Thanks For your help & Understanding with my stupid questions

Figured it out. Finally got my nandroid backup working by installing 0817 cwm. So after a good backup I just went through with TBD and started customizing. very thankful I found this forum.

ROM Jumping

Hello I recently picked up a Verizon S3. New to the phone but not to android world, I am looking to see how you guys jump between ROMs? Do u flash back to stock? Or just flash with a data wipe and factory restore? Also is there any way to flash back to stock image minus the recovery without a PC?
Thanks everyone and I did try searching couldn't find much on this at all
Sent from the mobile world!!
if youre asking this, you need to do more reading and research.
I use titanium backup to restore my apps. others use different apps.
I do not care about apps I am asking if there is an issue with going from one ROM to another without going back to stock. I know some bases or mods sometimes conflict with each other
Sent from the mobile world!!
You don't need to go back to stock with Samsung devices. After installing a custom recovery, you just need to wipe the device and flash the custom ROM and you're good to go.
You should look into an app called MobileOdin if you want to flash back to stock without a PC.

I'm sure an over killed topic, but still /0/ folders

So I've been flashing 4.2.2 for a while now, and I have a solid 30/40 /0/ folders. After it refused to delete them at the source saying the last folder in the chain could not be deleted, I went through and just deleted the content within them. Is there any way to just get rid of them or make them stop generating after every flash? Even after some googling, I was unable to find an answer. Thanks in advance.

Use twrp and you shouldnt have a million of them. If you still do, the only way to get rid of them is to completely wipe the internal SD

Have you given XDA labs permissions to access storage?

Yes. Did that too

Go to system settings>applications>XDA Labs then select storage on the app info page, then clear cache in XDA Labs, exit settings and try the download again.
If nothing helps, post your issue here:

Always look for threads relevant to your issue before posting a new thread. You were having issues with XDA Labs, you should have searched for threads that deal with the XDA Labs app, if you had done that, you would have found the appropriate thread to post your question in, instead of creating a new thread to ask a question that would be better placed and answered in an already existing thread.
XDA doesn't like it when threads are created to ask questions when other threads relevant to that question already exist. They don't like it when members posts questions that have already been answered. Learn to search for relevant information FIRST instead of just posting a new thread for your convenience.

Noted. Will post the problem in the relevant section as stated. Thanks.
And forgot to mention. Cleared Cache and stuff to but didn't work. So posting it in the link given

Just to clarify, I wasn't being critical, I was just informing you about how XDA intends for this website to be used.
Sometimes, there is no easy way to come across without making it seem as if you did something wrong.

Hey, no worries. I didnt take it differently and I appreciate your patience. Something I need to desperately pick up. Thanks again.
Anyone else having trouble downloading the xda labs apk? Haven't been able to the past few hours

XDA Labs isn't up anymore, there may be a chance it's up again on mid-2021, but that's only if some devs take on the development of the app.
If you're using it to browse forums, a new app will be available tomorrow
