Hello to all
Too many people don't have enough posts to post on my rom's thread.
So i decided to created a new thread in general!
Here you can post your problems or ask something you dont understand for the flashing process etc.
Will be posted flashing info and known flashing problems here soon.
So feel free to post your question, or report a bug!
1. How to flash Kyrillos' rom?
- Instructions: Here
2. I just flashed Kyrillos' rom and after flashing the phone bootloops (it plays the same boot sound again and again).
- You havent done a Wipe data/factory reset in Recovery mode. Remove the battery & re-insert it, go into recovery mode (Vol up + Vol down + home + power), and select the Wipe data/factory reset option. Click yes, and reboot.
3. The phone booted but my sd partition isnt working. What should i do?
- Firstly you have to ensure that you put the Hybrid Data2SD files in your sdcard. They are contained in v8.0 rom you downloaded. You can also download them from here. You must put the four files (data2sd.dirs, fs.data2sd, multiosdata, multiosdata.cache) in /sdcard/Android/data/G3mod/*. Then reboot your phone and your partition should work.
4. I partitioned my sdcard but i dont see the free sdcard (a2sd) space in Titanium Backup.
- Hybrid Data2SD doesnt show up in Titanium Backup. Its normal Fixed
5. After restoring my backup with Titanium Backup, i dont see all my apps in Android Market.
- Go in Titanium Backup, find Android Market and wipe Android Market's data. Reboot your phone, and it should be ok.
6. I have too much lag!
- Make sure that you dont have more than 50 User Apps installed in your phone.
- Go in titanium and do a batch operation: Move all apps to internal memory
- If you have a linux-swap partition in your sdcard, delete it.
- Go in Settings/Sound and disable all Feedback sounds (leave the haptic feedback checked if you want )
7. I have battery drain issue.
- Let the battery calibrate itself and after 3-4 days recheck if the problem remains.
- If your problem isn't fixed and you have installed the Overclocked version, install Setcpu and change the governor to OnDemand or Conservative. You can try to Undervolt/Underclock the cpu too. You should make a screen off profile (83min - 400max) too.
- If SetCPU is not used, in OC version, CPU frequency is at stable 800MHz, on performance, so there MUST be a battery draining^^
So, SetCPU is absolute nesassary to be installed and set up. Best working governour is ondemand, if it laggs, drop up threshold in advanced to lower level.
8. What are the best settings for setcpu? [Updated 25/10/11]
- Main tab: Min 83Mhz, Max 800-1200MHz, Scaling: Ondemand (or Conservative), Set on boot: Tick
- Profiles tab: Set on boot: tick
- Profile (1): In call: 83min, 400max, Scaling: Ondemand, Priority:100
- Profile (2): Time profile: 1AM - 7AM (here put the time you sleep), min/max 83MHz, Scaling: Powersave, Priority: 99
- Profile (3): Screen off: 83min, 400max, Scaling: Ondemand, Priority:98
- Voltages: Try -100mV in all frequencies from 500-1200. If it hangs, try -75mV/-50mV, apply, set on boot: tick
9. How to enable v6 supercharger?
- Go in Terminal Emulator, type "su" hit [enter] (you may see a superuser popup, press "Allow", then type "v6_supercharger" hit [enter]
- Choose scrolling speed "2".
- It will ask you if you want intergration with init.rc, choose yes (press Y).
- It will ask you if the home is locked in memory, choose no (Press whatever you want except Y)
- When you see this: Please enter option 1-30, enter 2
- Let the rest of the text scroll through. When script finishes, press the home button, then press the power button and reboot the phone.
- For best results, go in recovery and wipe dalvik-cache and cache.
Note: You must re-enabled v6_supercharger after kyrillos' rom updates!
10. I have a partition in my sdcard and each time i try to install an app from market, the phone just reboots!
- This could be a corrupted filesystem problem. Make a backup d repartition your sd.
- Wipe data/factory reset.
11. I really miss some removed apps. Where can i find them & how to install them?
- You can find any app you want in this thread [By Dharam]
- To install an app, you must put it in /system/app/. There are many ways to do that.
- a) Copy the app you want to install in your sdcard. Use an app, which called root explorer. Open it, find the app you want, copy it, navigate to /system/app/, press the Mount R/W button on the top-right of your screen once, the click paste. Reboot your phone.
- b) You must know how to use adb. adb push appname.apk /system/app/
12. Kies isn't working.
- I highly recommend you to stop using Kies and start using Titanium Backup!
- Anyway, to get it working you must download this and this app and put it in /system/app/
13. How much left data space is normal to have after i install Kyrillos' rom?
- If you dont have partition in your sdcard: ~112MB
- If you have partition in your sdcard: ~150+MB
14. Gps isn't working.
- The gps in our phone isnt the best. I did try to make it better and for many users i did succeed.
15. I have partition in my sdcard but internal storage is still 200MB instead of eg. 1200MB (if partition => 1GB)
- Its normal. Your partition works as it should, but its not full data2sd, and thats the reason that it doesnt show 1200MB.
16. One of my apps cant start because it detects that i have adblock on my phone.
- Download Adfree Android from Android Market, open it and click "Revert"
17. When i sent messages in Arabic it displays ??? ? ? ???? ??? ???
- Go in messaging settings => Input Mode: and change it to Automatic or Unicode
18. I want to set an mp3 file as ringtone or notification sound. What should i do?
- Make a "media" folder in your sdcard. Inside it make an "audio" folder and then make a "ringtones" or "notifications" folder and place the mp3. Reboot and select it from settings
19. The order of the messages is fu**ed up. How to fix it?
- Go to Settings => Date and Time. Untick "Automatic" and et the correct Time Zone!
20. Sometimes i see squares instead of letters.
- It happens because the Ubuntu font. Download android fonts from v9.0_extras if you cant live with it
21. What about themes? How can i know if a theme is compatible with kyrillos rom?
- Firstly, you have to check it it supports nine lockscreen. (If it doesnt, contact the developer of the theme and ask him to enable his theme 9 lockscreen support)
- You can replace any if the theme files EXCEPT: Settings.apk, android.policy.jar, framework.jar, services.jar. If you do replace any if those, your phone will bootloop.
- Enjoy the theme
22. What is Chainfire3D? How to configure it? (Use version v2.8)
- Info: Chainfire3D is an intermediary OpenGL driver. What does that mean? It means that Chainfire3D sits between your apps and the graphics drivers, and can intercept and/or change commands between the two. It has some built-in functions, and can be further extended with plugins to provide extra functionality. (More info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427)
- With Kyrillos' rom v9 + Chainfire3D you can play some 3d games, or play some games better than before & without white textures.
- Chainfire3D installation: Ensure that you have Kyrillos' rom v9 OC. Download Chainfire3D Free or Chainfire3D Pro, run it, accept the su permissions. Press "CF3D driver", and then press "Install". The phone will reboot in a few seconds/minutes.
- Plugin installation: When it boots up, download the plugins (search for Chainfire3D plugins on google. Plugins: libGLEMU_NVIDIA.so, libGLEMU_POWERVR.so, libGLEMU_QUALCOMM.so), put the in your sdcard and open the app. Press "Install Plugins and Shaders". The app will search your phone to see if there is any plugin available in your sd. Install all the three plugins. Go back to the main app menu.
- Configure Chainfire3D: In the main app menu, press "Default OpelGL settings". Select the option "Reduce texture quality", and then choose plugin by pressing "Use plugin". There are 3 choices: Powervr, Qualcomm & Nvidia.
- Test the plugins: Select the "Powervr" plugin and run the game you want. Run it for a minute. Then close the game and change the plugin to "Qualcomm" and run the game for a minute. Compare which plugin worked best (if it worked) and enjoy the game. Note: Nvidia games require Nvidia plugin.
23. Most of the apps are being installed in sdcard instead of internal/partition. How can i change the default app install location to internal?
- Open terminal amulator
- Type:
su (enter)
pm setInstallLocation 1 (enter)
- Done [Info: 0 (Auto), 1 (Internal), 2 (External). You can see the current state by typing "pm getInstallLocation".]
24. How to convert my sdext partition from ext3 to ext4?
- Download KMapp from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301697
- Install it and run it. Accept the superuser permissions and press the menu button. Select "Filesystem Conversion". Scroll down and select Sdext => ext4 and click "Convert".
25. What is Mobile Tracker and how to set it up? (Highly recommended // Enabled it in case you lose your phone) (for Kyrillos rom v9.4+)
- The Samsung Galaxy 3 comes with a mobile tracker software by default which is not activated, as you need to register your phone and account with the Samsung online website. Only then the option works and your phone goes more safer, as the Mobile tracker is one of the best options to use when your phone is stolen or lost.
The Samsung Dive mobile tracker is something that helps you remotely work on your phone when it is stolen. The online website of its helps you in remotely swiping the phone and delete delete your private data. Though this service is not available in India, a few features of its work, like prompt SMS sending when the phone is used with any new SIM than that which was used to register with the mobile tracker. The app also helps in getting the location information of the phone.
- How to set it up (source):
α. Go to Applications => Settings section in the phone. Select Location and Security tab in it.
β. Scroll down in the menu in Location and Security, and you will see a section for Mobile tracker. Here you need to hit the “Set Mobile Tracker” option which will set the mobile tracker recipient and control the remote phone that is activated. It will take you through the process of registration and set-up of the mobile tracker.
γ. The first thing you need to set is the mobile tracker password which would be asked to you or anyone who changes the SIM in the phone. It has to be of 8 digits and all numeric characters in it. You need to remember this password for always, as it can get your phone locked if you forget it and type the wrong password multiple times.
δ. After you set the password, you need to add recipients to whom the phone sends an SMS from the new SIM to notify/alert them about the changes made in the phone.
ε. Set the information of the sender, i.e. the Sender name and the message to be sent to the recipient. And then agree to the terms.
στ. Login through your Samsung account, and if you have not registered to it, you can do that for free online by registering the product. And then you would be directed to the mobile tracker settings where you can change any recipient or make changes in the samsung account.
ζ. After everything is setup, go back to the Settings section, and into the Location and Security section. There you have to check the “Mobile Tracker” option, so that it is activated.
Note: If at all you have reset your phone through the factory reset option, all the information in the Mobile tracker is lost. You need to set it all over again.
- Now if you lose your phone or somebody stole it, you can track it and/or lock it and/or wipe all your private data in SamsungDive.

I flashed your version of ROM directly from DDJP2 with the hope that camera bug would go,and the facebook touchsite would open. But even your rom has the same thing. So i changed to the european version new release XWJPF. And its pretty stable an i can bet its boots alot faster than any of the custom rom or even offcial ROM.
Anyway is there any solution.
1)The camera bug. YOu cant click a photo unless you get a fix on location or disable the location settings.
2)Facebook touchsite wont open like it use to open in eclair. DDJP6. And when you open facebook it shows GT-I5510.
Please fix this.

Linux-Swap
What is SWAP?
Swap space is an auxiliary storage, such as a portion of a hard-disk, which can be used as memory by the operating system when system RAM is insufficient. This is especially useful on systems with very little system RAM, such as most DD-WRT compatible routers, as it helps prevent the system from running out of memory when multiple background processes are installed.
Swap is rarely used, and if you have a high class sd you may see more responsive phone.

So in a class 2 SD swap should not be used.
But a class 4 is OK, isn't it?
thx for this thread. Reading for a long time, but i never made a post, because its not possible on the other thread.
Using the non OC 4.1, b/c i had freezes with the OC version. But the normal version is ok for me.

The "gt 5510" issue is Facebook's problem, not Kyrillos's or Samsungs problem. This does not affect anything, other phones are detected falsely, too. Facebook divided phones to groups and the most ubiquotous phone is shown. This only serves for offering you the correct version of Facebook app. This is a non issue.
I never saw "the camera bug", is this present only in India?

i mean when ever i open facebook touch site the mobile site opens. And is there any solution for the camera bug???
Every time i click a photo i have to wait for a lock or have to disable the location.
My camera was working perfect on Stock eclair DDJG6. But after upgraing i am having this prblm. My camera is working perfect but if the location is enabled and if i dont have lock on my position my camera would force close if a click a photo. But if its turned off it works flawlessly. And in FROYO their isnt any option for turning off Geo-tagging.
And when i flashed kyrillos 4.1 i ddnt do any partition or anything i directly flashed it over DDJP2 by wiping cache. And i ddnt understand the procedure of the partitioning properly. I liked the ROM though.
Do you have any solution for this prblem..or a most stable ROM that doesnt have any prblm.
DDJG6>DDJP2>Kyrillos 4.1>XWJPF
tnx for thread.
I have v4.1 and i had some probs. 1st when using CoPilot and GPS. Phone was just turn off, and that happend 4 times :S. 2nd: Day before yesterday, phone just turned it self off, and i couldnt turn it on.
Everything else is OK, I have OC version and its great!
Also, can you put battery change by 1% in new version?

GPS problem flashing from Lestat 1.8 >> Kyrillos 4.1 fixed
Kryrillos,
Thanks for all these roms
Curruntly using 4.1 ultimate non OC.
4.1 OC just sometimes freezes even at 667 mhz.
Tried Lestat 1.8 alpha 14 is was very slow with reading sd card and also the phone reacts slow.
So decide to flash back to Kyrillos 4.1 non oc.
Everything works only GPS fix was not working.
After wipe cache / factory reset.
It is oke, gps fix in 30 sec or less.
can you do something about flash and 3d driver for next version ?

Facebook mobile site is supposed to open if you access Facebook trough browser. Facebook redirects you to the most appropriate version of the site for your device/browser. If you want the Facebook Touch experience, download the Facebook app - called Facebook Touch.

I have tried using facebook touch app but it redirects me to the mobile site i dont know why. Even on the official India Update DDJP2. And what about the camera bug?

No flash, 2D and 3D graphics increased in v5.0
Most of you might be very much familiar with the rooting procedure. Its the process of giving yourself superuser permissions (ex - administrator in windows xp ).
If you are using a custom rom, then there is no need to specifically root your phone. But if you are using stock roms, then there is a guide to root in the forums.
Once rooted, you can now take your own decisions for your device which include improving system performance or flashing custom roms using cwm recovery or using any of these below listed apps. Use it wisely, as playing with your device performance can have damaging effects.
I AM NOT AT ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR DEVICE BY YOU.
Moving on, many of the rooted-on-stock and custom rom users might already know most of these apps and their uses, so this thread is for the beginners who have just rooted their devices.
Further, most of these apps are available in the playstore (mostly paid, but if you want the cracked versions, you can find them in the internet.
So here are some of the apps that might be useful for you. I will also update this apps list as soon as, I find more useful apps.

Flashing with Mobile ODIN does NOT increase your custom kernel flash counter or make the yellow warning triangle appear.
For discussion and support: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
- MANUAL -
Flashing with Mobile ODIN is easy. You start by starting the app and the app will check your system has everything it needs to continue (like root). It may need to download an additional package, so it is advised you have Wi-Fi available.
Now you should see the main Mobile ODIN screen. It will list a set of partitions. Clicking a partition will allow you to select a file from your SD card to flash to that partition. Do not worry about selecting the wrong file - Mobile ODIN will not let you. Separate files (named after the partition) as well as .tar and .tar.md5 files are supported.
From the desktop ODIN you may be used to "PDA", "PHONE", and "CSC" buttons. All three of these buttons have been replaced by the "Open file ..." button. This button will open the file you select from the SD card, and find all the partitions it can flash inside that file. So if you select a .tar file containing kernel and modem, the Kernel and Modem partitions will be set up to use that .tar file for flashing.
Now that we have selected what we want to flash, if you have the Pro version you can proceed to the EverRoot section. The EverRoot options allows you to root your firmware while it is being flashed. Never again will you be without root! Select here which apps you want to inject in the firmware that is being flashed.
Now that we are all done selecting partitions and configuring EverRoot, we continue to "Flash firmware". Mobile ODIN will gather all the information it needs and perform the flash. Before starting, however, it will check that your battery level is over 50%, and if applicable offer to verify MD5 checksums on the files you have selected to flash. If all is well, it will reboot into recovery mode, and flash the firmware you have selected.

Troubleshooting:
Droid users: Stuck at the "M" logo? Flash an alternate recovery and flash back to ClockworkMod.
HTC Users: Flash recovery not working? Try fastbooting a recovery on.
Droid X/2/Pro Users: You must run the Bootstrap application first to use ROM Manager.
Samsung users: You must flash a Clockwork compatible kernel first (see XDA forums)
IF YOU ARE HAVING LICENSE ISSUES, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST VERSION OF FREE (4.0+) AND THE LATEST LICENSE (1.0.7+) INSTALLED!
SETCPU for Root Users
Description
Supercharge your Android device with SetCPU. A must-have tool for root users.
SetCPU is a tool for changing the CPU settings on a rooted Android phone or tablet, including the Galaxy Nexus, HTC One series, Nexus S, Nexus One, Motorola Droid, Samsung Galaxy series, and most other devices. You're under control: SetCPU can improve your performance, save battery, or both!
Automate SetCPU with profiles! SetCPU allows you to set up powerful profiles to change your settings under certain conditions, such as what app is running, when the phone is asleep or charging, when the battery level drops below a certain point, when the phone's temperature is too high, or during certain times of day. See the screenshots for examples of how you might set up profiles.
SetCPU's wide feature set make it useful to Android beginners and enthusiasts alike. Accelerate your processor to unleash your phone's true multitasking potential, or dial your CPU's speed down to save battery.
SetCPU also includes a "voltage control" menu, available to certain devices with custom kernels that support it, to control undervolting to save even more battery. Keep in mind that undervolting is only available for certain kernels.
Recent Changes:
Additional permission: Read logs is used for efficient app condition checking. That is currently all it's used for.
3.0.0:
Profiles tab
- Completely rewrote profiles.
- Older profiles will automatically be converted into new profiles.
- Added app and day of week in addition to the older conditions, and more are coming.
- Profiles now support combining conditions under logical trees, with nestable "and," "or," and "not" operators available. It is now possible to easily build complex profiles that take the place of multiple profiles in the older version.
- Actions can now be selected individually.
- Profiles can now be marked as "non-exclusive," which means they will not block profiles with lower priorities from evaluating. In this case, the profiles with lower priorities will perform only actions which have not been performed by profiles with higher priorities. SetCPU will keep evaluating profiles until it reaches an "exclusive" profile that evaluates as true.
- All number selectors in profiles are now in the style of the frequency selector in the main tab.
- The new file extension for exported profile settings is ".setcpu.json."
- To prevent ambiguous situations, it's no longer possible to select priorities that have been used by other profiles.
- The CPU temperature sensor on OMAP4 and some other devices should now be supported for profiles. The option will appear if available.
- Notifications are now set as an action per profile and can now be non-persistent.
- SetCPU will still use the main screen as a "default profile" to set if no other profiles are active. It is now possible to specify an alternate default profile by creating an exclusive profile with no conditions at priority 0.
- SetCPU now asks for a file name before backing up profiles to storage.
- It is now possible to share profiles without having the internal/external storage mounted.
Main tab
- IO scheduler selection has been added via a drop down menu in the main tab.
Bugfixes
- Fixed a bug where the short benchmark always reported 0 ms.
- Fixed the labels in the pie graph in system info.
- Fixed some common crashes.
Permissions:
Root: SetCPU needs root permissions to modify the CPU speed and other settings.
Start at boot: SetCPU will start a profiles service at boot, if enabled. It also sets default boot settings, if enabled. SetCPU does not run in the background if profiles are not enabled, and becomes inactive after settings, if any, are applied.
Wake lock: This prevents the phone from sleeping while stress testing and benchmarking.
Write external storage: SetCPU needs to read from and write to the SD card or internal storage to back up profiles.
Read phone state: The "in call" condition needs this to determine if the user is making a phone call or not, and trigger the profile if the user wants to.

[root] CHAINFIRE3D
Description
Chainfire3D - Take control of your GPU (OpenGL) !
Take control over your GPU!
Chainfire3D is an intermediary OpenGL driver. What does that mean? It means that Chainfire3D sits between your apps and the graphics drivers, and can intercept and/or change commands between the two. It has some built-in functions, and can be further extended with plugins to provide extra functionality.
!! For Froyo and Gingerbread ONLY. NOT COMPATIBLE with Honeycomb/Ice Cream Sandwich/Jelly Bean !!
!! Chainfire3D is for 1ghz+ devices only !!
!! ROOT is required for this program, as well as a writable /system partition. S-OFF is also required on HTC devices !!
Features include reducing texture size and quality to reduce memory use and potentially increase game performance, as well as increasing memory use potentially increase performance.
If you also install the (experimental) EGL driver, AND your GPU supports it, AND you have the Pro version, you can enable 4xMSAA or 16xMSAA on a per-app bases. This can drastically improve image quality!
Be sure to check the thread on XDA for available plugins !
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427 )
Chainfire3D has been tested on:
- HTC HD2
- Samsung Galaxy S
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 7"
- Samsung Galaxy S II
- Samsung Galaxy Note
- Samsung Epic 4G
- Motorola Atrix 4G
- Motorola Droid 2
- LG Optimus 2X
- Google Nexus S
Many users are running Chainfire3D on devices not listed here - it's likely to work on all modern devices. So far nobody has reported a failed install, so that's good. Doesn't mean problems can't happen.
!! There is some risk involved installing the driver. Your device may not boot. If you have CWM, it would be prudent to create a backup before installing !!

SUPERUSER
This is meant to replace Superuser (if installed), you use either one or the other. You cannot combine them. Statements that this breaks Superuser are therefore completely nonsensical.
NOTICE: A SPECIAL PROCEDURE IS NEEDED FOR UNINSTALLATION. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE APP, DO *NOT* JUST UNINSTALL IT, YOU *WILL* LOSE ROOT.
Superuser access management runs through a so called "su binary". There can be only one of these at a time. So if you install SuperSU, your previous superuser access management solution will no longer operate. So if you want to switch back: (1) Open that application, and search for an option for it to install/update/replace the "su binary". (2) Confirm root-using apps are using the superuser solution you want. (3) Uninstall SuperSU.

BATTERY CALIBRATION
Description
Calibrate your battery when you think it's miscalibrated.
Requirements: Android 2.1+ | Root permissions
Calibration needs to be done after flashing a new ROM, but you can calibrate any time you think your battery is miscalibrated. This program does it by removing the batterystats.bin system file. The OS generates a new clean batterystats file soon, thus any fake information from the previous ROM is removed.
It's suggested, but not necessary, to let the phone fully discharge after calibration, then charged to 100% without break.
The app shows your actual battery status, and only allows you to start the calibration (i.e. removes the file) when it's fully charged, unless you force earlier calibration.
The voltage meter can be useful too. Full charge is around 4200mV.
There is an option to beep when 100% is reached so you don't have to closley follow the changes.

Sixaxis Controller
Description
*** Caution: This app is not for the faint-hearted!! ***

Finally the wait is over... The ultimate gaming experience awaits! Now you can play games on your phone the way they were meant to be played! Sixaxis Controller allows you to use your Sixaxis and DualShock 3 controllers in many of your favourite games and applications.
*** IMPORTANT ***
- ROOT access is required!!!
- Due to the way pairing is done with the controllers, you need to manually pair your controller with the PC utility 'SixaxisPairTool' (available on the website) and a mini-USB cable. Android 3.1+ users can also pair directly on their devices via USB.
- It is highly recommended that you use an ORIGINAL controller. Many after market controllers will not work with this app. If you get a 'Client connected: 1' message, but the lights on your controller continue to flash, it is almost certainly not an original Sony controller.
- Be sure to read the instructions in the help menu carefully.
Features:
- Up to four Sixaxis and DualShock 3 controllers supported at once.
- Support as a native gamepad in Android 3.1+ devices. Full support for analog sticks and analog triggers.
- Keyboard emulation. Map all buttons and sticks to almost any key available in Android.

nice thread
updated nov 03 with script manager and faster fix
Hello Everybody,
I have been surprised nobody addressed the need for backup and restore app data of secondary user accounts in Android 4.2+ Jelly Bean/KitKat yet. I present you a back up/restore solution for the apps and data in all accounts. It is laborious but it works. Until we get proper support from Titanium or Carbon, this is the only way AFAIK.
Disclaimer:
I provide no warranty for this procedure. It just worked for me, but I haven't tested it extensively with many devices nor apps.
Requirements:
Titanium Backup and Titanium Backup PRO Key ★ root
Total Commander for Android (you can use any file manager which suits you, I prefer TC because it preserves the permissions and UID/GID of overwritten files).
Intermediate knowledge of Android file system, root etc. You need to understand all these steps (they are not that complicated).
__________________________________________________
Backup:
1) Activate Multiple profiles in Titanium Backup (Overview tab, bottom of the screen, above the free space progress bars) and add profiles - as many as you need/want (one for every device User Accounts). Let's say "Main User, "User2", ... Activate one (the one you'll use for your own data ("Main User" for instance)).
1.5) Backup in Titanium the app you want to backup - just in case something goes wrong in next steps. However, this will preserve only your main user data at this moment.
2) Activate the profiles for the app you want to backup - in the tab Backup/Restore, tap on the Application, scroll the window to the right and click 'Enable "multiple profiles" for this app'. Confirm assignment of "Main User" to the current data profile.
3) Switch the Titanium Backup profile into another one (pick one you want to use to hold the data for the secondary user, let's say "User2") - again, on the Overview tab, at the bottom of the screen.
4) Now the difficult part - run the Total Commander, open in the left panel: Root /, /data/data/com.ironhidegames.android.kingdomrush (use namespace of the app you want to backup)
You should see .data_profile directory there. If you don't, you haven't activated the profiles properly, don't proceed further until you do!
5) Switch to the right panel, open Root /, /data/user
You'll see a subdirectory "0" (linked -> /data/data, that's the main User Account BTW) and some other number(s) (10, ...), one for every other device User Account account. If you have only one secondary account, you'll see only "0" (mentioned above) and "10". If you have more accounts, I don't know how to find out which number is which account at the moment. You'll have to experiment here.
Navigate into the user's subdirectory (let's say "10"), find the same package (for instance /data/user/10/com.ironhidegames.android.kingdomrush) and then copy the content (select the files and folders by tapping their icons) to the panel on the left (simply click copy and that's it)
6) Repeat the steps 3) 4) 5) for all the users you want to backup
7) Repeat steps 1.5) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) for all the apps you want to backup
8) TEST - Switch profiles on the Overview tab in Titanium and run the app(s) in every profile. Check, if the app/game really has different data in different profiles and that it matches the data from the other accounts. If they don't or the app crashes, the copying went wrong (or the permissions / UID/GIDs of the target are wrong - switch to the main account, check the permissions, UID, GID of files in /data/data/com.ironhidegames.android.kingdomrush by long tapping them, selecting properties. These are the values that should be set to the copied files from step 5) - repeat the steps and override them. Are you using Total Commander?)
9) Backup the app using Titanium (it includes all profiles this time)
__________________________________________________
Restore:
1) Restore the app using Titanium and check that all the Titanium profiles are working (switch the profiles and run the app/game with them to see if the data differ)
2) Create the user account in the system (Preferrably one at a time, create more (another one) after successfull restore - this will help you find out what is the user account number (/data/user/10/...) of which Device User Account)
3) Activate the Titanium Backup Data Profile of the user you want to restore from.
4) Install the app in the secondary account(s) - optionally you can use Multi-User App Share
5) Switch to the secondary account first and run the app (the one you want to restore) once, to recreate all the configuration files etc.
6) Switch back to the main account, run Total Commander
7) Open in the left panel: Root /, /data/user/10 (again, experiment with the account numbers here, 10 is usually the first secondary account; if you are creating secondary account one by one as recommended in step 1), you should know which one is the new one (0 is always the main user, BTW)). Navigate to the directory of the app you want to restore, /data/user/10/com.ironhidegames.android.kingdomrush for instance. Check some of the files here with long tap, properties - remember the UID and GID and permissions (just to be safe).
8) Open in the right panel: Root /, /data/data/com.ironhidegames.android.kingdomrush (again, use namespace of the app you want to restore)
9) Select all the files there and copy them to the left panel (again, simply mark all files by tapping their icons followed by clicking copy at the bottom)
10) Check the files in the left panel with long tap, Properties - check if the permissions, UID and GID match the values from step 7). Should be. If not, change it to match values from 7).
11) Repeat 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) for every User Account
12) Repeat all steps for all the applications you want to restore. Of course you won't be adding the Device User Accounts again (nevertheless you should know the Account numbers by now).
Hope this helps, good luck.

I've been waiting for this since I got the tablet. Thanks a lot. Now I can flash a many Roms as I want yay! I'll attempt this on the weekend when I flash a ROM and see if it works.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app
And if I'm lock, stock and no root, I'm lost, am I?
Skickat från min Nexus 4 via Tapatalk
Much needed feature
But unfortunately has been ignored (kinda) by devs like T.B. May be because it's only for tablets which are very less compared to phone market
Now in LP also phones has the multiple user accounts so it would indeed be nice to be able to do this. Especially without root.

Can't find data/user/10 folder
hi I'm on nexus 7 2013, android 4.4.4 titanium backup 7.0.1.1
I'm trying to use profile data I created 7 profiles when going to data/data I see all the profiles no problem
When going to data/user only "0" is there, useless to say that profile switching doesn't work . I'm using tb widget to switch profiles .
Why is this happening to me and how to solve it please?
Thx
This worked for me exactly once. Then Play Store in its infinite wisdom decided to update the app and deleted everything in the process. Now I can't get it working anymore. The app keeps crashing. Permissions appear to be correct.
The "Complete steps" series is back! Do note that since there's no development yet, there's really nothing much yet, so pardon me on the "coming soon"s... Once there's any development, it'll be updated here, so subscribe to get any notifications!
If you own a G3, please proceed to this thread instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-complete-tutorial-to-root-flash-t3098959

First things first, this guide is made mainly for the insane LG V10. Some steps may or may not work for other phones...
Please note that the results of the following methods may vary. I would advice you don't do this on a daily driver or corporate phone.
Also note that these steps WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.
For increased chances of these working, update your KDZ to Lollipop first using OTA or Flash Tool.
If you don’t know what rooting, flashing and blah blah blah means, this probably isn’t the thread for you.
I do not own much of this stuff, credit really does go to the folks stated below. Do give them a shoutout!
Enjoy!
Complete guide to all things V10:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHAPTER 0: TERMINOLOGY (in my own words)
- Terms
- Tidbit
(To be honest, if you need to even look at this, this thread isn't for you.)
- Root: Gaining full administrative control of your device. "Jailbreaking" in terms of Android.
- ROM: The customized operating system that your Android runs on.
- Kernel: The thingy that links software and hardware
- Radio: The thingy that sends and receives messages, calls and data.
- Flash: Installing a zipped file in Recovery Mode
- Recovery: The software that allows tweaking and flashing, and other weird stuff that will destroy your phone.
- Fastboot: The thingy that allows recovery mode to happen.
- Brick: The term says it all.
- Bootloader: Quite literal; loads the phone for bootup.
- Nandroid backup: A backup-ed image of your current system
- ADB: Android Debug Bridge; some command line tool that sends information from and to the phone to, and from the computer
- CWM: ClockWorkMod; a recovery system
- XDA: The holy website that is full of weird stuff that makes your phone wayyyy better.
Now let's paint a picture:
Imagine you are your Android phone.
Before "rooting", you are trapped in jail.
Upon "rooting and unlocking", you are released from jail.
You go to a shopping mall named "XDA".
You find a credit card lying on the floor from the company "Recovery". On the back, it says there is no passcode required, and there is a infinite amount of money inside.
You enter a store and get a sweatshirt with the word "ROM" on it.
You didn't buy the shirt, the shirt just happens to be free, but still requires you to swipe your credit card anyways.
You keep the receipt as a "backup", just in case the shirt spoils.
Just then, you get greedy and get all the badges in the store.
Stupidly, you pin all the badges on your shirt, turning it as heavy as a "brick".
Then, the shirt rips, unable to put (it rhymes with boot) it back together again.
Luckily you still have the receipt to return the shirt, and return back to your good old disgusting shirt.

Temporary fix for 'Stagefright' exploit
Now, as we wait anxiously for our beloved OEMs to slowly update their softwares to patch for Stagefright, we are still vulnerable... UNTIL NOW! Here's a temporary protection for us, living in the slow ring of OTAs:
1. Open your messaging app.
2. Open your messenger's settings.
3. Disable "Auto receive MMS".
4. Repeat for all your other messaging apps.
5. DONE!
- If you're plainly lazy, download "Textra" messaging app which comes with in-built Stagefright protection!

Here's how to get the UNOFFICIAL G4's weather widget on ANY launcher, including Smart Notice.
These steps do require paid apps, so as to prevent piracy, I will not provide download links for these apps.
1. Download "Zooper Widget Pro" from the Play Store. *note: it must be PRO to make it work*

---------------------------------------------------------
FAQ:
- Any battery impacts?
Shouldn't be, so long as you follow the steps correctly.
- What if my weather shows "??" or "Unknown"
Go into the Widget Settings and Force Update
- My location isn't accurate!
Manually tell the widget your location, don't use auto.
- The weather isn't accurate!
For now, there's no choice as it isn't powered by the all mighty Google or AccuWeather.---------------------------------------------------------

any lg v10 stock rom f600l ?
I have strange crashes of any app that requires to call a list of all installed apps on my device.
I have two devices on two 8.0 and 8.1 devices, totally different manufacturers, both no root, no mods, nothing, completely stock versions of Android. I can't upgrade them to 9 nor 10... The devices have 3gb and 4gb memory and plenty of storage space. The systems are otherwise stable and no issues, except for the described issue.
When starting any application or a window that requires to fetch a list of installed applications, that application will freeze and then crash 90% of the time. Even the system apps (e.g. system setting activities) would crash if it requires to fetch a list of all of installed apps.
The crash happens while it is still fetching the list of apps installed. After crash I go to restart the app and I wait hoping it doesn't crash. If it does, go over again and would repeat the steps many times until it doesn't crash (I have about 10% chance it doesn't crash)
When do crashes happen:
- System settings activities:
- system settings / App Notifications
- system settings / App Usage
- system settings / Battery Optimization (list of apps)
- system settings / Manage apps
etc..
3rd party application with function to call a list of installed apps on the device ..e.g.:
- Greenify.. I don't use anymore (calls list of applications when I go to add it to list to hibernate) ... BY the way... I WAS running Greenify manually, no automatic function turned on, no system tweaks turned on and no system apps hibernation)
- Hibernator use now instead of Greenify (same as Greenify)... I tried to use this recently as it seems to be crashing only 80% of the time, so gives me better chance than running Greenify
- AppCloner
- Skit (app manager)
When crashes DO NOT happen .. e.g.:
File Manager + (When getting the list of installed apps within File Manager +)
Nova Launcher (e.g. when getting list of apps to include in a folder)
Island (work mode app e.g. when getting a list of apps installed in the mainland
Google Play Store app (when getting list of apps installed)
System Settings activity that does call a shorter list of apps or does not require list of apps... that is when I am calling a system setting that does not require to show a FULL list of apps installed (e.g. if I am calling list of apps in accessibility settings, which is a much shorter list of apps, System Settings app does not crash)
My idea is that both the system settings activities and some of the apps use the same system file listing app/process and that is broken and causing the crash. The 3rd party apps (that do not use this file listing mechanism) do not crash.
Don't know how long is the issue so I can't think of anything I have installed recently. I know I could just disable apps running, disable overlay apps, remove accessibility, admin apps, apps reading usability, do system setting reset etc.. I am not an Android expert, don't even have Windows to do some magic via ADB etc.
I wanted to check to see if anybody came across this exact issue.
