Hi there,
Making long story short, I need more size added to android system directory to install more system apps. I am running on Chroma(Android 6.0.1 ver.) for Nexus 4.
I am left with some 80 MBs whereas I have 12 GB free in data. Help me add some size to system from data so that I can install chrome, camera etc... as system apps (user apps to system apps method).
Please help me out!
Thanks for reading.
Your response will be highly appreciated.
Can't you have these apps as user apps installed? Just after wipe you can install 'em back or just restored a backup u would have done earlier.
But about ur question, I think it's possible by resizinig using fastboot, or just running on pc gparted and then repart ur phone, but I don't give any warranty it will be working

Can you please elaborate a little more as I don't know anything about it

I mean you can install these apps from Play Store and leave them installed, or you want to have them installed as system apps, don't you?

Yes I do want to install them as system apps but for that I have to resize system partition size....how to resize that? Can you tell me fast boot commands? Or gpart method?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Okay, but what is main reason you want to have them as system apps installed?
Now I've realized it's not easy as i thought, because to use gparted u need to see all avaible partitions on phone, afterwards it's very simple
About fastboot i have no idea what commands should you use, just i know it's possible to do it with it.
But i also realized, when i had my old htc hd2 - when i was flashing recovery, for every rom were special requirements about partitioning internal memory. Then with flashing file was a file containing script which was formatting the memory, just in every rom u had to change values. I'll check it when i will have time and let you know how was it.

Since the launcher is the part of the Android user interface that lets users customize the home screen (e.g. the phone's desktop), launch mobile apps, make phone calls, and perform other tasks on Android devices (devices that use the Android mobile operating system), and because the launcher is built into Android, you wouldn't be able to "launch" anything without the launcher...

Launching CWM is not done from android or the launcher. It is done by booting into it as an alternate recovery, so it has basically root level access to EVERYTHING.

thanx thats what i was thinking:cyclops:
Hello I need some help here.. I don't have Any idea what to do or how to unlock a Motorola or I would've done it by now... I have a triumph and its losing in phone storage space. I'm not sure? If it q build up cache? Or a build of left over system file. Like data logs or something. Please help!!!
Sent from my shooter using xda app-developers app
It's most likely the alog files that are eating up all your storage. The only way to fix it is to either root the phone and use a file explorer to delete them or do a factory data reset.
Rooting this phone is incredibly easy and safe as long as you follow directions. There is a decent selection of Roms to choose from with all kinds of added goodies.
If you want to stay stock, there is a script that you can flash that automatically deletes the alog files upon reboot. (requires root though)
If you need any help understanding all of this stuff just ask.

Pie doesn't seem to work and the auto hide soft keys app from the market only seems like a temporary fix. Are there any pie substitute out there, or can we expect to see paranoid android port over this feature soon (among with an amazing ROM)?
Sent from my XT1032 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
LMT Launcher is the same thing as pie http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150
and if you have root you can disable the softkeys from the build.prop
add this at the bottom and reboot
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
I know, but I can't manually install apk files for some confounded reason.
Sent from my XT1032 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
have you tried going to settings / apps swiping over to the "all tab"
and go threw all the motorola apps disabling them and wiping data & cache for them, then reboot?
Sadly, that had no effect whatsoever. Any other ideas?
Sent from my XT1032 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
try removing your Google account from the phone, then when you sign in with it again make sure you untick that box about privacy which is supposed to be the cause of this problem.
to do this you will need root, and a root file explorer
go to
data / system
and delete Accounts.db and reboot

You try copying the apk file to /mnt/obb, change the permissions (others should be able to read so something like 777 will do) and install it from there.
It should work.
I think there is some funny stuff going on with the multi user changes introduced in 4.3, I guess the reason why a factory reset works for people (it didn't work for me)
is because the fs will be recreated (permission wise)
Never seen this issue on any other devices with 4.3 or 4.4, think its some Motorola specific thing, i wanted to have a look at the system.img
but its spilt into three parts with a weird format that i have never seen before, nor can i find any info only about it online
system.img_sparsechunk.0
system.img_sparsechunk.1
system.img_sparsechunk.2

Hi, I'm using a google play store Nexus 5, and trying to restore a ADB backup (.ab file, not pulled files) and for some reason it keeps saying 'restoration ended' on my phone while the computer continues to send data. Anyway I can force it to continue/ restore the .ab from recovery?
Thanks very much for your help, I've searched the forums but could find little on the matter.

Thought as much, well, there was nothing really too important on the backup anyway. Cheers for the quick reply!

I've had issues restoring .ab file backup on my nexus 5. However it works flawlessly without the ".ab" i.e naming my backup as say "backup" works where naming it "backup.ab" fails.
Samsung finally showed some love for the galaxy tab 3 which was running 4.1.2 since the lauch.
The Kitkat firmware is available to download at sammobile its 831mb in size.
I have flashed the firmware and its good with some minor changes.
Below are the some changes i have noticed.
1) new lockscreen
2) album art now shown in lockscreen.
3) multi-window added.
4) gps toggle changed with location.
5) multi user support.
6) personal message now shown in lockscreen and its customisable.
7) new type of keyboard.
8) battery performance improved.
Screenshots coming soon.

I know it probably isn't a big whoop, but that site says sm-t210, no sm-t210R.
Even so, I downloaded the rom/firmware (same thing right?) from the live-samsung updates site. I'm just trying to find a reliable way to back up my apps. Too bad Kies only does contacts and stuff. How did you handle your apps before upgrading? Did you use ODIN to do it?

Well either use Titanium Backup or a similar app, or just flash the firmware using odin. I did that and all my data is still present an the update did not wipe anything. And yeah I guess ROM and firmware are pretty much the same thing. At least everybody uses them as synonyms. Though I think there is a slight difference and I personally prefere the word ROM.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. Since I don't want to go through rooting again (I had a scary experience with it), I could just flash it? You just flashed the firmware using odin and it didn't affect things like data, game progress (if you have games), things that are stored in memory? I know a few of my apps are connected to certain accounts, so their data is backed up, but my other apps like Pocket I'm unsure about.
What happened with rooting was it caused my device to have a really dim screen with weird colors, and in my panic I went to factory reset because at that point I was trying to get it back the way it was before. I have flashed a stock firmware to get it restored, but that was after I factory reset, so I couldn't tell if my apps lost data since everything was long gone. But if what you said is true, I could theoretically flash 4.4.2 kitkat on my 4.1.2 jelly bean, and my apps would be just as they were, right?
I just wish someone could explain more of the technicality of what flashing a firmware really does to a device. Is it like sweeping a rug out from under a table, with all the dishes still on it, and then replacing the rug with a new one with everything still in place? Sorry, I'm a visual person lol.
Can this firmware (due to the fact that it is completely stock) be flashed in the stock recovery? Just wondering.. I have not modified my device with root or stuff like custom ROMS...
Sent from my stock, untouched Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 on the xda-developers app
I took a leap of faith and agreed to update my firmware thru kies - and surprise - all my apps are still there, and plus my device is now 4.4.2 kitkat!!! I'm so relieved. Thanks to everyone who's tried to help me!
So if anyone is wondering, if you don't want to use ODIN, you can use kies (just make sure you have the right version for your device) and it will detect the firmware for 4.4.2 kitkat and update your sm-t250r for you!! And you will not lose your apps!!

If you use apps like Asphalt 8, mc4 etc you can save your progress on cloud.
If you want to avoid downloading the big games follow the steps below:-
1)install apk extractor.
2)extract apk's of the apps of which you want to backup.
3)open file manager and go to android obb and copy the main obb file of the game you want to desktop.
4)the extracted apks will be in a folder called extracted apks. Copy them also to desktop.
5)in file manager open android named folder and open data folder.
6)and copy all the data to your desktop.
7) that's it you have now backed up your apps and their data.
To restore the apps first install each apk one by one and then place the main obb file in their respective places and put the data files in the data folder.
As I don't use much apps I had factory resetted my device and then flashed the firmware.
