Hello again,
Firstly look into general / development section for ftfs! Make sure you pick up a generic version according to your phone model!
Secondly , use the guide mentioned by a user above to flash ftf file.
Only backup user apps in titanium back !
Go to titanium ,then options , then clear dalvik! See if that helps!
Also remove thumbnails folder in DCIM from your phone using a file explorer.
You can also use SD maid from Google play store to clear cache / unnecessary files by corpsefinder and systemcleaner in SD maid menu. This will automatically remove thumbnails cache!
Good luck

flashing ftf will be my last option so first i am done with backups (userapps, contacts logs calender).
I tried SD Maid but asking for Superuser permision, so should i grant or deny?

Grant it to work and please use common sense!
You are about to clear system cache, how would you do that without root or permission !

Either be fine !
Sus will do it officially with latest firmware of your region only while flashtool with give you more control over which ftf to flash/version/components !
My signature means, if you want a guide that's not available or think it could be rewritten, pm me!m in case of a query, just mention/quote me!

Hi guys,
I have recently make a wrong decision with my Gs2. I tried to use Titanium backup to change All Sharing and Social Hub as a User Application. And that result in these apps disappear from my phone. I tired to put the dlna.apk and social-hub.apk back to the "system/app" while nth new come back after a reboot. I think that's because i miss the odex file related to the apps. As I am using Offical Hong Kong Rom KG2, would somebody like to help me by uploading those files [dlna, social hub apk&odex]
Thanks

I have tried this list and put those apk in to system/app, yet the program have not come back even after a reboot.....
I use Root Explorer for installing .apk files.
Can you not download Social Hub and DNLA via Samsung Apps?

I got those APKs from the list you have posted.
And install them by using root explorer
My way to install is to move from sdcard to "/system/app"
I even changed the permission of the apks but still they don come back

Try applications>manage applications>clear cache and maybe clear data for those apps if they are there.

I don't think you can install system files with root explorer, you need to flash it through recovery. I was having the same problem and flashing worked for me.

You just push them to the /system/app/ folder and reboot - that's all a recovery zip would do.
Thx Guys!!!!
My finally method was reflash the official rom..... that nearlly kill me as i have to reorder the application icon which take me an hour to finish that....
I don know how to use the recovery method but hope this post would help others who face the same problems.
Btw is there any apps to backup the order of icon in Application page? Rearranging them again is damn horrible if u got tons of apps......

How to:

Restart your phone manually, not from link2sd
Go to Link2sd settings
uncheck all options
exit from link2sd
Open root explorer or other file manager that have root access
Go to /data/sdext2, delete all folder if exist
Go back to /data
Copy app, data, app-private, and dalvik-cache to /sdext2
Wait a moment
Go to /sdext2
Create link to app (Long press the folder, scroll down, and choose "Link to this folder")
Go back to /data, and choose create link
There is a warning, and choose YES
Repeat this to data, app-private, and dalvik-cache
After that, restart your phone twice, and look at internal storage.

great bro..:good:
i just want to know..it's that ok if i clear the dalvic cache via cwm?
all i know if the dalvic cache move to sdext..you can't clear the dalvic via cwm..cmiiw..
Proud to be Indonesian..
so basicly what this does?oO
and you werent quite clear on your tutorial how to do it... seems a bit complicated...
Go to Settings
uncheck all options > settings, phone settings or link2sd settings?And wich settings are you refering -.-
AngelusPT,
Link2sd settings,. Sorry
edit: cancel it
Thanks for the info...I will try this on my S5830 with Jellaxy 10.1, I am having problem with Link2SD and free space in /data because only apps linked to /sdext have its dalvik-cache linked too.
UPDATE: I 've messed up my phone , but I had many applications already installed. I will try after a fresh install
I've try this trick. awesome, csn reduce my internal memori use extremely. But problem shown when I'm installed new app and linked it, it always got force close. Is there something wrong?
P.S. sorry for my bad english
Sent from my HS-E910 using xda app-developers app
@sihung, you don't need to link your app.
Can I use this on S5830i???
And i already have 150 apps linked do can I use this???
But I don't wanna unlink or delete them
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda premium
I think you can use it on S530i.
You can try this tutorial in a fresh phone.
What makes this "extreme" exactly?.. Links2SD is Links2SD and has been around for quite some time. It should work on all custom kernels without issues (won't work on stock roms). Fresh installs are the better choice as link2SD decides what is best for the app automatically.
There is another thread in the dev section which explains properly how to set this up.
Great app btw..
I wonder what was the experience of the earlier users as they didnt mention the results/experience with this trick. I would try this and post the results by tomorrow probably
Works grt.. Thanks for the guide...Cheers !! :good:
Maybe you missed to include one step in the guide,
Step 6: while uncheking all options under Link2DS settings > under Native Apps2sd sttings..choose install location as internal..
Hope it helps !!

good job!
i'm using this now.works great!it is easy to do.but if you're new to android,you will be confuse with the tutorial.
to make things clear,if you ever heard of "app2sd" or "S2E",the idea is just the same.it is just manually mounting sdext2 as the default install location.we just just have to take advantage of the script created by the link2sd app.
this will work on stock or custom rom that has init.d.and you don't have to manually link apps using libk2sd app.the system will decide where to install.after you done this,link2sd app will be useless.
Where is that "init.d" be found?
And what particular root explorer app that has so called "linking" capability?

it's in system/etc/init.d.your rom should have init.d support.if your on stock rom,try the init.d enabler via terminal emulator,via cwm,or via app.i think you will have that option in root explorer if you have installed the link2sd.
Hi! Long History, Yesterday I tried "Android Tweaker" app from one guy here on XDA.. BIG MISTAKE.. I select the tweaks i want and apply them all! well, first, I lost root access.. (lucky me i was on release4, so i can root again without problem) second, the tablet now is so unstable, sometimes is really fast.. and other times, (most of the time) is just SO SLOW! even my xperia 2010 is faster! so, i decided to root again and try to fix everything.. i fixed some things but still i have so much lag!, so i decided to install again my firmware.. I boot on the recovery and i tried to install my firmware (release4) again.. no luck .. the recovery says that i can't install the same version.. so my last resort.. Factory reset, i do it from recovery.. now on the first boot I have to type my name, my gmail account etc, so I can see that the factory reset works, .. but when I see my homescreen.. i realized that the tweaks ARE STILL THERE! :crying:
So, how do I perform a FULL WIPE?
Thanks!
btw.. DO NOT INSTALL "ANDROID TWEAKER" here is the forum thread for this app.. i you want to see it..

1. Root again using AiO
2. Use AiO to install 'rescue backdoor', Tweaks & Mods Submenu
3. Reinstall R4
4. Re-root
5. Don't f*** with this tablet, they are very easy to mess up and hard to recover from...... In saying that most of the time you will be safe when the incremental is lowered (rescue backdoor)
6. Enjoy your "NEW" Tablet
Thank you both! I'll try right now! :good:
@<robin> really? thought that it erased too... because on the recovery says that "System and App will be erased" but thanks for the info!
@stifilz You're right! All sony phones that I used were incredibly "open".. and you could do whatever you wanted .. If you had a problem, with a simple wipe, everything work like new!.. Is sad that this tablet is so limited.. :crying:

a wipe only clear partition data,cache,log,staging,
(system app and user app data save in data)
do nothing to system0 and system1,(all system app and config file no change),

Hey,
Everything was working fine until I decided to install an emulator app of Gameboy for android so I ended up installing an app called Gameboid but it didn't work properly so I uninstalled it at installed MyBoy!. It was working properly until my battery went dead and the phone turned off then I plugged the charger and after the phone turned on every app kept crashing avast anti-virus, Gmail, Talk, I can't even open Phone app and in Messaging when I want to send a message or reply or delete a message it crashes, I think I have to do a factory reset but I don't wanna lose my text messages and the only way for me is to use the Backup&Restore app on Android, I can't connect to internet to download any other app and when I connect the phone to PC it won't show the folders, my question is will the backups created by the Backup&Restore app remain after I do a factory reset? And the other question is after I create a backup and then want to restore it the name of backup is the date and time and then it's written (0.1M) if this is the size of backup obviously it's not a successful backup do you have any idea what that 0.1M is? I'm completely confused I've never been so much in trouble with Android I think it's some kind of virus or something, any help from you guys is so much appreciated, the phone is Xperia U with ICS I need to have a backup of those text messages and I need to do a factory reset please give me a way thanks in advance.

How do you check if it's locked with flashtool?
If it is unlocked you can flash custom kernel that has CWM and try wiping cache and dalvik-cache and possibly copy messages db if you know where it si located.

I tried to unlock bootloader with it and it said your phone is already unlocked though I'm not sure that it means it is unlocked but I have flashed custom kernel before but I'm not sure if it will work now cause this is the weirdest state my phone has ever been nothing seems to work anymore, do you have a link for a custom kernel with CWM that I can try?

You said you have flashed 6.1.1.B.1.54, without wipind data I assime.
Maybe this kernel, looks like it support adb: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934093&highlight=cwm
As far as I could find sms are stored in: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases
If wiping dalvik and cache wont work you can try copy all files in that directory to sd card.
mount data in recovery.
open adb shell in windows: adb shell
make sure sdcard is mounted: ls /sdcard (see that you get list of files/directories in your sd card)
creake directory for backup: mkdir /sdcard//sms_backup
copy db files to sdcard: cp -R /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases /sdcard/sms_backup/

I'm a bit confused here, I now have CWM Touch v5.5.0.4 on my phone now is it necessary to install memory_tweak.zip? And also I tried wiping Dalvik cache and then I rebooted into android and a window popped up with the title "Android is upgrading" and after that the problem still remains, then I tried to open adb shell but it gave me this error: "- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -" what should I do now? Thanks for your help btw, sorry I'm not an expert.

I'm no expert either.
No memory_tweak is not a must.
Weird it shouldn't need /system mounted, I jave Sola's CWM Touch 5.5.0.4 on my Xperia P and shell wprks without a problem, it uses one from /sbin which is busybox actually.
but you can try mounting /system maybe it'll work then.
Instead mount / data in CWM recovery and then: adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases databases
that will copy the databases to <current directory>\databases on your pc.

Just in case, you may do the same with /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts

Thanks I got the databases now after a factory reset or data wipe out I think I have to put these databases back into the phone, how do I do that? Will the messages show up in messaging app after I do so?

The databases must be put back when the application is not sorking and also need to have parmission owner and gtoup set correctly.
I think pushing them back with cwm adb is the best way, but you will need shell too to change permissions and owner.
You can try with file manager that support root.
owner and group of all files is radio:radio permissions for db file 660(owner and group rw) and journal files 600 (owner rw)
And reboot the phone right after.
Using Note3 KitKat 4.4.2 and latest WhatsApp
After the update to KK, my whatsApp Images are glitched. The same photos are repeated taking the filename of older files. This causes my older files to disappear
Any suggestions?
any help? please!
anyone with any ideas?
contacted WhatsApp support but they still have not gotten back to me...

Wipe caches to resove this issue for future
OR
Check for WhatsApp directories in your sdcards (int and ext both )
There should be only one directory and if you find more than one then delete one from them that is unnecessary
For example, if your whatsapp is installed in internal sd card then app directory should be in int sdcard only and if you find in ext sdcard also then remove it because thats unnecessary and vice versa (Remember- DONT DELETE THAT NECESSARY DIRECTORY FROM RIGHT PLACE)
And then wipe caches for whatsapp and if you are having custom recovery then wipe caches from there. and reboot.
OR
You just need to reinstall whatsapp.
Before re-installing, clear data and cache for whatsapp and uninstall
Then install install whatsapp again.
May be this will help you or you can wait for whatsapp suport as this can be a whatsapp issue.

Backup your Whatsapp conversations and media, move it to a PC, then uninstall Whatsapp and completely delete the entire whatsapp folder and then install the apk again.

okay. the photos are not corrupted. it's just that they are showing a totally different photo from what they are supposed to be.
as I scroll through my convo media history, some photos are totally replaced with a different one (yes, you can actually see the photos becoming replaced)
sorry to bump this up - but i'm gonna do a clean install on my phone soon
- any suggestions how I can fix this? :/
