[Q] clockwork mod revovery - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

ok so I have the touch version installed andwas trying to do a back up. long story short I didn't realize the date bug and had several backups made so I started to delete them using script manager thinking I could clear the folder and start and anew with just one backup so I would know which one was which...so I booted into recovery ...backup to sd card... and it stalls out at " freeing up space..." . I let it sit there fir about 45 min before pulling the battery and rebooting. What should I do? any help is appreciated some what of a newbie here...

**bump** I can't make a backup please help

Why don't you just use a root explorer and delete the entire clock work mod folder.

Yup. kintowofan is correct. Since you are trying to erase all your backups anyway this is the easiest way.

whelp that worked....deleted the back-up folder and rebooted intorecovery and got a backupfile thank you very much .

[Bootanimation][CWM] BIOS - Tested on Octane-V3.0 XPLOD and Valhalla FINAL

Friends -
I take no credit for this. I found this boot animation in some other XDA forum and tested this with this Raver's ROM.
It runs smooth.
This is CWM flashable. Remember to take backup of your existing bootanimation.zip from /system/media location.
A BIG thank you to Raver and Krylon/ Honk for this ROM and Kernel.
***** I have tested this on Valhalla Final ROM as well. ******
Lolllll I found that last night too
And yes, its super nice, nice find and post man!

Step 1: Using root explorer or similar app, go to /system/media
Step 2: Copy the existing bootanimation.zip file to /sdcard
Step 3: download the file in OP to your /sdcard
Step 4: reboot to recovery
Step 5: Install zip from sdcard and flash it
Step 6: reboot
Step 7 (optional): If you didnt like this new bootanimation and want the old bootanimation (pink unicorn) back ...using rootexplorer copy the bootanimation.zip (from Step2) to /system/media

Just use Super Manager. Works like a charm. Be sure to enable the root function in the settings.

As long as we have this forum, we have lots of helpful people to get us out of it.
I take it that I should always use my computer when downloading things for my phone... My brother has a vibrant and he always just downloads his roms straight to his phone.. Anyway I've realized that when I place the file on my phone from the computer my result's have always been great.. Thanks again... One question though what us dalvik cache.. And are we supposed to clear it every once in a while

I make a habit to clear it every time I flash something new. After you flash, you can wipe it in the Advanced menu in CWM. When your phone reboots, be sure to not touch ANYTHING and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to let it rebuild. If you don't, your phone will lag.
If you didn't give sufficient time for your phone to rebuild the dalvik cache, you can always go into the Advanced menu in CWM and wipe it again. You'll just have to wait the 10-15 minutes again.

[Q] I have a Stock ROM backup. What should I do with it?

I thought when I first flashed a custom ROM that it might useful to keep a backup of stock.
But right now this backup bogging down my sd card. Will it still work if I copy the folder with the backup in my computer and use it afterwards? Or should I delete it and use the method described in these threads to bring it back to stock if I need to?
Yes, it will still work if you transfer the folder

Removing CarrierIQ

I am not responsible for any damage caused to your phone....
Make and verify your back ups people!
Your phone needs to be rooted for this to work.
Use Root Explorer and navigate to these locations:
/system/app
IQ-tmobile-release-signed.apk
IQ-tmobile-release-signed.odex
IQToggle.signed.apk
IQToggle.signed.odex
/data/data
com.carrieriq.tmobile
com.carrieriq.tmobile.IQToggle
Delete all .apk's and .odex files in the /system/app and both of the directories in /data/data, reboot phone and Presto! No more CarrierIQ.
If I helped please click the "Thanks" button.

[Q] [Urgent] Quick CWM question

I recently sold my phone, I had it rooted and had clockworkmod installed and everything. I was rushing because the guy was on his way so I threw a new ROM on it (Hellfire 2.3 I believe) and deleted all the other files on the sd card (cwm, data, dcim, media, etc.) so no files were left on it. When I took the sim card out the phone would freeze and not respond. I put it back in and gave it to him. He called me back saying the volume doesn't work and when he tried to call he cant hear the other person. Any help ?

[Q] Backup app recommendations?

Hey all,
If you've been around a while (like me) chances are you've become pretty accustomed to the process every time a new build is released: download build & newest GApps, backup old apps and settings, wipe everything, flash both and restore...right? Cool.
Well I've been trying to update beanstalk as per usual but the backup app I've been using (prior to this point, without error) decided it no longer likes me. It's called My BackUp Root and it's always served my purposes magnificently. Before MBuR, I used Titanium Backup and when MBuR failed a few days ago I tried TiBu again. At this point, neither works for me. The phone either reboots or the process hangs, never finishing successfully.
SO
Any backup app recommendations that aren't MyBackUp Root or Titanium? I am of course rooted. I want to back up APKs, Data, and whatever settings I can. Thanks!

You have to buy it to batch restore! I wish I had known that before!!! Although if there were an app to buy, I think it would be this one. Extremely well-developed. Nice UI and features are perfect.
