[TUTORIAL] Automatic SMS/MMS & CallLog backup with Titanium Backup pro - Motorola Droid RAZR

This tutorial describes a way how to perform a scheduled backup of SMS/MMS & CallLog with TB pro in XML-format.
The advantage of XML-format in contrast to a backup of "SMS/MMS/APN" system data is that XML-format can be restored on different ROMs without any compatibility issues.
By default TB:
- Stores the backups to /sd-card/TitaniumBackup. You can change it under Preferences --> Backup folder location.
- Does a GZIP compression of your backups. You can change it under Preferences --> Compression.
- Keeps one backup version (the old one is overwritten). You can change it under Preferences --> Max backup history.
The images were taken using TB pro version 6.0.4.
The following is a step by step instruction.
1) Start Titanium Backup pro
2) Select "Filters" by pressing the magnifier and funnel symbol at the top.

}
3) Press the "Create label" button at the bottom.
4) Name your label and press the "Add/Remove elements" button.
5) Select "Call log" and "Messages (SMS & MMS)" checkboxes and store your selection by pressing the green "Save" button at the top.
6) Press the "Save" button.
7) Now you see the new created label "SMS/MMS&CallLog" at the botton. Press the green "Save" button at the top.
8) Select the "Schedules" tab and press the "Add new schedule" button at the bottom.
9) On the top combo box select the arrow to pull down the menu. Select the "Backup all system data" option.
On the next combo box select the arrow to pull down the menu. Select the label "SMS/MMS&CallLog" you have just created before.
Select the time you want your backup to take place.
Select the days you want your backup to take place.
Press the "Save" button.
10) Select the "Enabled" check box to enable your schedule.
Now TB pro will automatically backup your SMS/MMS and CallLogs at the specified time and days.
I also made a German version of that tutorial. You can find it here: http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/motor...s_and_calllog_backup_titanium_backup_pro.html

WONDERFUL!!!
What a great tutorial, thank you very much!

[HOW TO][ANY ROM] Install and Configure Halo

Posted this in the Sprint One section and thought i'd share with y'all also
I saw a lot of people not knowing how to configure it, so here's how I got it to work
1. Install Floating Notifications and enable it in the Accesibility menu.
2. Select the box labeled "Launch Apps in Halo Mode"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. Go to the app notifications menu and check which ones you want it to notify you for. HINT: if you want a real halo experience the rightmost icon in the app list will make the icon stay floating.
4. This is a personal preference: Go to Customize in Floating Notifications and select "Dock after a few seconds of inactivity" and then at the bottom set "Amount of the icon hidden when docked:" to 55%. If it is more than 55% then you will have trouble clicking the stack.
5. REBOOT PHONE.
Now for the Xposed part.
1. Install Xposed Framework
2. REBOOT PHONE.
3. Go into Xposed Installer and go to "Downloads" and select XHaloFloatingWindow, and then install it.
4. REBOOT PHONE.
5. Go into Xposed Installer and go into "Modules" and check the box "XHaloFloatingWindow".
6. For safe measure REBOOT PHONE. And then you're done
Lemme know if y'all need any help!
Also on the reboots it hung on the splash for a while.
Oh yeah not responsible if your device catches fire.
If you're having a problem with the stock messenger app look here:
ticklemepinks said:
using this will make the sense stock messager app from working properly as you won't be able to see the "SEND" button in the halo window
*correction* you just have to change the height of portrait 0.8 or at least for me, maybe this doesn't happen with other ppl.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Add Icon to use Extended Power Menu EPM from screen

This is a how to guide on making an Icon shortcut to your Extended Power Menu or Standard Power Menu. You can also create thousands of other mods.
The first thing you need is the Tasker app. You can get it here: Google Play Store - Tasker No it is not free. But you can do all kind of mods with this App.
So lets get started:
After you install Tasker, click on the icon for the app and check that you have read and agree to their terms.
Then select the TASKS button. At the bottom of the screen you will select the + sign.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here you will name your Task. I called mine "EPM", then select the check mark.
Once a new screen opens you will again select the + sign to add an action. You will then select "Script" then "Run Shell".
Here is where you will type this command on the Command line:
PHP:
#/system/bin/sh
sendevent /dev/input/event0 0001 116 1
sendevent /dev/input/event0 0000 0000 00000000
sleep 2
sendevent /dev/input/event0 0001 116 00000000
Then scroll down to "Use Root" and check the box. Now in the upper left hand corner select "Action Edit Run Shell"
Now in the lower left hand corner select the play icon to test your Shell Command. If all goes right your EPM or Power Menu should open. Just hit cancel on the EPM Menu and hit the soft back button a couple of times to exit out of Tasker.
Now go to the screen of your choice and long press to add a shortcut. (I am using NOVA launcher) scroll down to Tasker Shortcut and select the name of the Task you just created. It will open Tasker and all you have to do is hit the soft back key a couple of time to exit and your new shortcut to your EPM or Power Menu will be on your screen.
Enjoy!!!

You are finished! You can do customizing if you want, this guide is to a stock look

[MOD] Media/Volume NavBar for TouchWiz In Car Installs

With the help of 7786 and lots of time spent to fix the code on the IronRom's NavBar, I have finally finished the Media/Volume Navbar for the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 for TouchWiz.
This mod not only enables the NavBar, but it is modified to change Volume for those installs where a Volume Knob is not an option like mine. Also has the Previous, Play/Pause and Next Playback functions. The Google Logo opens the Google Search when held for a second. I for one really don't care to have a Search Engine taking up valuable space on my Screen (despite the ScreenShots [emoji14])
On Certain Launchers, for example Apex Launcher, The Navbar is Transparent. I don't know what other Launchers are like this But it looks great.

Blue: http://1drv.ms/1R3dDLk
How to Install Mod:
1. Download Zip 2. Enable Soft Keys 3. Restart Into Recovery 4. Install Zip 5. Clear Dalvik/Cache 6. Enjoy
How to Enable Soft Keys:
Section 1: Pre-requisites
You need to have root access on your device.
Install Root Explorer or ES File Explorer or any file manager with which you can access the system partition. Below steps are given for Root Explorer.
Make sure your device is at least 70% charged to avoid complications during the process.
Section 2: Procedure
Open your preferred file manager and mount the system partition as read-write in stead of read only. Grant superuser access when it prompts.
Go to the system folder present in the root of file system. i.e the path- /system
root explorer
Now open the file “build.prop” in any Text Editor. For Root Explorer users, long click on “build.prop” file and tap on “Open with Text Editor”. (Before editing this file, for a safety, copy this file to the external memory card and save as a backup.)
build.prop
Now add the following line to this file at the end:
Code:
[CENTER]qemu.hw.mainkeys=0[/CENTER]
Save and Exit.
Now reboot your device.
Voila! You now have soft keys on your device!
If soft keys are still not enabled, please check if you have typed in the exact line as above. There are some apps which do this for you with a single click. But these apps may cause boot loops. Happy Androiding!

[REQUEST] "OEMInfo" file from Honor 4X Che2-L11 C636B360

Greeeeetings.
Is there anyone here that owns, upgraded to Che2-L11 V100R001C636B360, and rooted their device?
The download for the version is; http://consumer.huawei.com/my/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=60764​If true, may anyone please upload your "OEMInfo" file here? I've accidentally forgot to back it up, and completely lost it. There weren't one online for Che2-L11 that I've attempted to find.
Using "ES File Explorer Manager app" (enabled root explore within the app's settings), you can navigate to your root device, and get the OEMInfo file from the following path;
"dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/"​
May anyone upload it here? Pretty, please?
Please be careful navigating around that part of device, accidental modification to the files within the root may brick your device.​
Here's the much detailed explaination of how to get it, with pictures;
First, open ES File Explorer. This is how it is like, isn't it? You can open a menu that is rotated "iii" from the top left.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, you can enable "Root Explorer" slightly at the bottom of the "Tools" drop-down category.
Next, scroll back to to the top where you'll find the "Local" drop-down category, select it, and select "Device /", which it will take you to your root.
Now, the root should be like this. Noticed that the first folder you'll see is the "dev".
That's right, from here, you have to navigate through the following folders.
"dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/"
Or in other words, "dev => block => platform => hi_mci.0 => by-name"​
Scroll slightly down within the directory, and you should able to find "oeminfo".
Hold down your finger (long press) on the "oeminfo" file, until it gets selected like this. If so, then select the vertical ". . ." at the top right to bring down a menu.
The ". . ." menu are like this. There should be "Copy To". Select it.
The "Copy To" screen should be like this. Press the backward arrow "<-" until you see "Storage/SD Card 1", this is where you should copy the "oeminfo" file into.
Bravo! should should get a pop up message that the transfer should be complete. (hopefully).
You can then get the "oeminfo" file from your SD Card and send it over.
Thanks, awaiting response.
Much sincere appreciation.
Thanks!
