Same question, sort of the same answer.
For the Eris, "system.img", and "boot.img" files in the Nandroid backup contain no personal information, nor anything which is "customized" to a particular handset; they are generic.
So, yes, you can restore a Nandroid backup from one phone to another. You only need to copy the BDS-YYMMDD-HHMM backup folder from the source phone into the correctly named folder on the target phone. (The easiest way to create that folder on the target phone is to do a dummy Nandroid backup on that phone, and Nandroid will create it for you).
The person that makes the Nandroid backup for you should do it this way:
- reboot into Amon_RA
- make a Nandroid Backup (let's call this one "#1")
- wipe data/factory reset
- make a 2nd Nandroid Backup (let's call this one "#2").
- perform a Nandroid Restore of backup #1
- boot up the phone and copy the backup #2 to the target phone (and delete it from the source phone)
That way, all the personal info, market apps, are wiped from the #2 backup, and it can be freely handed out to someone else without worry.
l3nytm : Unfortunately, Nandroid restore works by "mounting" the /system and /data yaffs2 filesystem(s). There are certain pathologies that can occur where mounting fails and the "nandroid-mobile.sh" script bombs out - in which case, no Nandroid restore will help you, no matter what they contain.
I had it happen to me a long time ago, and I could not even manually mount them using adb - the only thing which saved my butt from a "live brick" was re-application of the Root PB00IMG.zip file. No guarantees that that will work for your phone - and you might have to perform the jcase "Flash any RUU" procedure before you try the HBOOT + PB00IMG.zip flashing procedure.
Lastly, this question isn't a development question; but oh well.

Look for "Dialer One" in the Android Market. It's the closest you can find that has T9 capable dialing aka smart dial. You can also press Menu > Contacts to get to your contacts.

Don't like dialer one. Ive tried it. I want the tabs across the top like the Froyo dialer shown above with T9 capability.

I hope this is a development question. I am trying to make a theme for 2.1 roms does anyone know how I can change the font for the clock in the status bar. Ideally a way to do it via MetaMorph

need sum 1 to make androd 1 rom!

Could we port iphone to the android? Im being completely serious

While figuring out what was causing my widgets to reload every time I hit the back button from an app, I got to thinking about cache. I have CacheCleaner installed and it works great at freeing up space. I also noticed that when I clean the cache, the phone seems a bit more responsive. So here's the question, and feel free to correct me or whatever you feel, but can something be developed like AutoKiller, but that focuses on Cache? Say, it clears the cache when it reaches a certain level like 10mb per say, or whatever you choose. Again, any and all ideas are appreciated.
Thanks everyone for everything that we have here at XDA

well yes you could either install the .apk like the normal way or just install it via and update.zip to /system/app didnt check link so im not sure.

Guess my question wasn't clear.
There's a new update to the Market for Androids running versions prior to 2.2. It makes the market on those devices resemble the 2.2 market, i.e., tabbed app pages (comments on separate tab), and more importantly, the auto-update feature..
Considering that a lot of us dislike the inherent instability of Froyo, I like the idea of getting this update.. unfortunately, I haven't seen any evidence that my phone is getting it.. (running the Droid Does ROM, even though it hasn't been updated since July)..
Has anyone looked into this market update, and whether or not it could be applied to any of the ROMs for the Eris? (obviously prior to Froyo)

I'd like to try out the Shadow Rom but don't have Clockwork (and wont get it). I've read that I can sign it with test keys so Amon Ra will accept it. Where do I find the program to sign it?

URGENT - Root Certificate Expiring + Fix

You may not know the root certificate needed for your webOS device is going to expire 23 July, 2013...
This certificate is needed for setting up a profile, backup/restore, App Catalog access and any other HP cloud services that webOS devices depend on.
The fix is announced and is coming today!!!!!
http://www.webosnation.com/hp-issue...-ensure-continued-access-webos-cloud-services

Pro Tips:
If your device has been dormant, make sure you update the date and time before attempting the App Catalog Update. This is valid up until July 22, 2013.
JULY 23, 2013 & LATER: You will need to set your date back to July 22, 2013 to connect to HP's servers and get the update.
The update is available through Software Manager as an update to the HP App Catalog application. I found it easier to open the App Catalog and search for new apps. There is an Update available for download/install under the name App Catalog Update with HP listed as the publisher/developer. It seems to install better this way. I tried 3 different devices: TouchPad, Veer and Pre 2. In the end, the method I describe (set date/use App Catalog and not Software Manager) was the one that woked on Pre 2 which was the most stubborn of the 3.
If you get stuck: reboot, make sure your date and time are current (up to 22-07-13) or is set to July 22nd (use from 23-07-13 and beyond). Then get the Update from the App Catalog itself.
New activations from 23-07-13 onward are supposed to be able to get through First Use and then auto-update the certificate...

How does one review the root certificate on the device?

Use Internalz Pro to navigate to and open:
/etc/ssl/certs/trustedcerts/PalmWebOS.pem
Or use WOSQI to pull a copy from that location...

Didn't receive the update notification on both my Pre+ and my Pre3 (o2 germany), so I had to install the update manually via "HP Catalog Update" App in the App Catalog.
On my Touchpad, when I try to install "HP Catalog Update", I get an error...

Click to collapse
Manually check your certificate (as shown above). Some are reporting that they have the new cert even after the fail message...

I use an unlocked UK Pre3 which recently received the update. I also have a spare AT&T Pre3 activated only once previously to network unlock. Due to the silly Palm/HP single-profile-device policy and some minor application incompatibilities, when I activated the AT&T Pre3 using the same webOS profile and then returned to the UK model, some apps were screwed etc. and I had to re-setup a few. Although not a major headache, I assume the same would happen if I reactivate the AT&T Pre3 to get the certificate update.
Is there a better way?
Can my AT&T model get the update from the HP server without it trying to restore the config from my UK model?
If not, on reactivating my UK model, can I use Save/Restore to revert with ease and let it re-upload that config to the HP servers?
Any other suggestions? I would appreciate your advice.

Either use the Bypass Activation method and get the update via App Catalog after some further manipulations under Impostah... http://www.webosnation.com/bypass-activation-webos-2-x
-OR-
Just create/use a second email account to use as a backup profile for your spare Pre 3.
Of the two, a second profile is by far the easiest and best method for a backup. If it moves up to being your daily driver, you can always switch it over to your primary profile.

HP TouchPad Root Certificate fix for WebOS cloud services
Hey thanks for putting together the thread. I made a little video to help users become aware of the problem and fix it. We may also need a thread about this in the TouchPad General section so more people will hear about it.
HP TouchPad Root Certificate fix for WebOS cloud services
HP TouchPad Root Certificate fix for WebOS cloud services(Important)
The Problem:
A vital "root certificate" on webOS devices is due to expire on July 23, 2013. This certificate gives Touchpad users access to HPs cloud services for the App catalogue and Backing up the device. When the "root certificate" expires users will no longer have access to the App catalogue and backed up data. Furthermore HPs online WebOS support is expected to disappear altogether by the end of the year. So it’s recommended to backup your personal data and essential Touchpad software to your PC now.
Read the full WebOS Survival Kit Guide Here:
The solution:
Getting a free App catalog update will fix the "root certificate" problem as long as you downloaded it before July,23,2013. If you are hearing about this after July,23,2013, then you will need to first set the date to June,23,2013. To do this boot into WebOS and go to settings/Date & Time, toggle off the "Network Time". Now adjust the date accordingly and download the Update, once complete comeback and Toggle on the "Network Time" button back to on.
To get the update in WebOS go to Downloads/HP App Catalog. Open the app Catalog and select the categories tab at the bottom. Next click on the “new” tab at the top and Scroll down the page till you see “App Catalog Update”. Now install the update and your Touchpad support will continue to work in a post WebOS world.
Note*This update requires webOS 2.1+ to be installed. Devices with older versions will need to run the WebOS Doctor first, the latest version is 3.0.5.

Here is the official HP help page for updating your critical Root Certificate.

Remember: if it seems like it failed, this might be a false negative which has been happening to many users.
Don't Panic. Just verify the certificate.
If you have the Internalz Pro file manager (http://forums.webosnation.com/canuck-coding/256518-internalz-pro-v1-5-0-a.html) you can use it to navigate to the certificate and open it to read the expiry date...

Here (again) is the relevant location to navigate to/pull from. /etc/ssl/certs/trustedcerts/PalmWebOS.pem
Your New Certificate should look like this:

I'm having a heck of a time getting this done, hopefully someone can help me out here. I have tried running the install from HP App Catalog but it fails. When I try browsing to the cert location with Internalz Pro I don't even have the directory that I need to look in. I get as far as \etc and that's it. There is no ssl directory in there.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
*UPDATE*
I got it! Apparently the date you set the Touchpad to makes a difference. I figured anything before the end date would work so I just clicked the year and set it to 2012. The update just kept failing, it wouldn't even download. I kept looking around for a fix and I found the official HP document and it recommends setting the date to 7/1/13. I did that and the update from the app store worked. Go figure.
This still doesn't explain why I can't find the directory with the certificate file but the updated succeeded so that's all I care about.

EDIT: Never mind. After 3 reboots, it took. Thanks for the info, guys.

I had a hell of a time trying to fix this problem. i ended up fixing it by connecting with wosqi in the command line, copied the package form /media/internal/downloads/ pulled it from the phone and installed it with wosqi.

I get "Install Failed" every single time I try this. Multiple reboots, erasing data, nothing helps. Change date, download app catalog, update failed. I've tried different dates too. Has anyone had this problem and found a fix?

You didn't mention turning off network time before rolling back the date???

If your certificate did not update, go to the HP help page and follow the instructions again. I believe that setting the date exactly to July 1st 2013 is critical due to reports on other threads. That specific date might be a trigger to HP servers. Another user reported that after changing the date to July 1st, 2013 he turned network time back on and that allowed a successful update (TouchPad).

[Q] New to forums, new to rooting

Hello everyone.
I'm new to rooting, however, I have managed to root my SM-N9005. I followed a long and for me; difficult process, but I got there in the end. Odin, Tar file & SuperSU all led me to where I am now. My friend told me that I should be using Cyanogen Mod; which is installed. But I've noticed a few perplexing issues which I'm hoping you clever guys might be able to help me out with.
1) Since Modding, my SD card is no longer showing up in "My Computer" when I click on the phone icon. It is still there according to the "Storage" options on the phone and it is populated, but not showing up in my computer.
2) We have a number of devices in our house. 10" tablets, 7" tablets & various android phones. All these show up when I go to Google store, however, since the root, mine is nowhere to be found and I have no idea what to do. I cannot add software old or new, unless I go down the torrent route. MY friend told me that I should install "[GAPPS][4.4.x/4.3.x] OFFICIAL Up-to-Date PA-GOOGLE APPS (All ROM's) [2014-06-08]" as this would solve my issue. So I installed it to my SD card, booted up with Vol up, Power on & home button, selected load zip.... = Fail
Look guys, I'm an old man who suffers from dyslexia, I have honestly tried my hardest, but I'm stumped.
I throw myself at your mercy and beg you for help.
Many thanks in advance.

To make this clear.
1) Factory Reset your phone using odin and install latest firmware that can be downloaded here.
2) Flash your phone using odin. Just get rid of Cyanogen Mod first. (Install it later if you want)
3 After flashing stock rom, Check your SD card is it working or not.
4) If you want to root your phone you can go here and download appropriate file( Which is if you download latest firmware, it should be KK 4.4.2)
4) Flash the file using Odin.
5) If ONLY the problem of SD Card still occur, Try this one here.
Troubleshooting
1) If you are in stock rom and you dont have any problem with SDCARD, then it should be the CyanogenMod problem (I'd never install this rom so i don't know). You can ask on CyanogenMod Thread.

@Wulfrune :
in addition to @IzArsha post,
if you have problem with internal SD card, coming from CM/AOSP to TW rom,
you can try this.

Thank you for the reply.
However, please understand that you're talking to someone with ZERO experience of rooting and in a nutshell..... I'm afraid I've almost no idea what you're talking about The way I usually get around this is to follow video advice.
I will try my very best to get around this problem, but it's abundantly clear to me that I'm in over my head and that it was clearly a huge mistake on my behalf messing around with the phone in the first place. I just HATE the way Samsung think that just because I bought their phone that they own a piece of me.
Given my above statement, I will of course understand if you've no wish to spoon feed me through this process..... But if you can be of further help, I will of course, be very grateful.
The main thing is, you had noble intentions and wanted to help and I think you sincerely for that.

Okay just forgot root method first. After you flash stock rom, still no Sd card shown on your computer? it might be your driver is not up to date. Download the PC driver here and reboot your pc and connect your phone and see how it goes shall we?

Here's an update on the state of play .
I have upon advice here updated to Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones 1.5.29.0.
I have also changed out my 64gb SD and tried a different one. whilst it still didn't show up in my computer, it did enable me to load up Google's stock package, which in turn, via play store app on the phone lets me load apps again.
I have come to the conclusion that Cyanogenmod might not have been the best route for me and that I'd probably be better off without it. I'm pretty sure it may even go a long way to solving the issues I'm having with the SD card not showing up.
So..........
2 things.....
1) Can someone tell me the safe way to remove Cyanogenmod
&
2) Can someone please suggest a replacement that will fully work with the SM-N9005 please?
Many thanks for you help so far.

As a detail, i wish to comment some considerations.
1 - Firmware can be flashed without clearing davlik cache or anything. At least, in my experience, works fine without doing that. As far as i see around, clearing cache is needed only when you get stuck in boot animation.
2 - Due to the software included in my phone, SU binarie works in first boot, but cannot be updated (rom ask for it but, doing it, SU binary is deleted and root access is lost)
To solve it, is needed to remove samsung KMS and EMS software from the phone. This software is there to "protect" the phone, and is the responsible of deleting SU binary. It's harmless to remove it.
To do this, in first boot (when SU works and you can gain root access) install ES Filexplorer (i use it, but for sure other apps can do it), activate root functions, and delete KMS and EMS software from system (ES allow to do this via User Apps section, remove system app).
This particular model is "low profile". So, RAM memory is the first thing is reduced. This can be solved using Apps2SD, RAMEXPANDER (to activate Zram functions) and Swapper2 to activate Swap space on microSD card (need to be partitioned first)
Actually, i was not able to find a custom bootloader for this phone (SM-J110L is not equal to J110H, at least in bootloader protection). and even i cant find any custom rom for it.
Hope this info helps to the owners of this great phone. Considering cost/prestation is a great choice. And there's a lack of info about it.
Best regards,
Alejandro

Ok bro, But please can you give the complete name of these two APKs to remove?

com-skms-android-agent.apk contains all the problematic stuff.
All new Samsung phones comes with this APK preinstalled. Looks like, for security reasons, it kills SU binary. (KMS agent works with NFC service, so, removing it, leaves NFC services unavailable. No problem if you don't want to use your phone as a credit card. This explains the security issue with SU binary. Can be reinstalled later if anyone need it (losing root, of course))

Good day friends, a question, I want to install this rom but not if it is done with Odin or what is the method to install it?

Yes the SM-J110H Prerooted Firmware can be flashed via Odin3, Select the *.tar file as AP/PDA and flash it.

Up and running flawlessly!
Excellent job! you can add this model to your list!
Thanx for your work!

As far i know, not yet. Even CWM. Someone is working in TWRP for j110h, but i test it in my 110l and its not working. Looks like bootloader is protected in a different way. Here is the work. But, as i say, it's for the 110 lte, and looks like is different to the 110j.
You can try helping them (maybe with some testing) to reach a TWRP version that works in our phones.

[SCRIPT] After a fresh install debloat apps from Google & Sony then install yours

HI ALL XPERIANCED
Since i use android, after a new installation, i was always trying to erase all unwanted applications. Manually from system or with titanium_backup.
But over time that was laborious, so i find this solution to do it by myself .
THE SCRIPTS AIM TO
FIRST
After flashing a new rom, totaly debloat applications from google and sony, then appropriating you your device.
Personnaly, i just need essential app like :
android : Phone; sms/mms/email; usb, multitask, gps, net browsing
sony apps : Album; music; video; radio; cybershot
google apps : Nothing ( natively a bloatware ? )
NEXT
It will move all bloatware under a new directory into /system/_keep_safe; which is easy to reinstall manually with a root explorer or with the restoration package.
/data/app
/etc/customization
/etc/product
/system/app
/system/media/audio/
/system/media/bootanimation.zip
/system/priv-app
/system/vendor
FINALY
You can install your own apps from external_sd and get a super leggera xperia device . Just check from attached image before and after the script.
{
"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"
}
BEFORE LAUNCHING
YOU NEED A SONY XPERIA DEVICE
Tested ok on my xperia z1compact d5503 with stock/prerooted/dual-recovery lp .236
To download the debloating script and his restoration package
A working recovery
Working flash via TWRP and philz-touch; but after flashing always wipe cahe and dalvik-cache​Working flash via FlashFire​
YOU CAN ADD YOUR OWN APK
Applications will be copy to data/app so there can be uninstalled and media will be copy to there default location.
The easyest way is by dropping them into debloating package, under package.zip /system/app then /system/media
The second way is by editing the script called :SET_MY_MOD.sh in the front of package
Indeed, i prefer this solution which lightens the package and thus change the least possible file.​
Code:
YOU JUST NEED TO EDIT YOUR APK LOCATION, IN MY CASE, ALL COME FROM EXTERNAL_SD
### set your medias location
alarm="/external_sd/alarms/alarm.ogg"
notification="/external_sd/notifications/notification.ogg"
ringtone="/external_sd/ringtones/fired_up_feels_good.mp3"
bootanimation="/external_sd/_app/bootanimation.zip"
### set your applications location
launcher="/external_sd/_app/xmarshmallow_10.0.a.0.5.apk"
theme="/external_sd/_app/black_5.0.2.apk"
file_manager="/external_sd/_app/total commander_2.80b1.apk"
browser="/external_sd/_app/maxthon_4.5.6.1000.apk"
TEST IN ALL RISK KNOWLEDGE. PLAN A BACKUP BEFORE.
I join a restoration script in case of something doesn't work, it will restore all from debloating script.
All actions are logged into /system/_keep_safe/bloatwares.log

hi,
this is a great idea.
first debloat the rom and move the apk´s to an separate folder
and after that install the personal apk´s on the external sd card.
And all of that in only one step by flashing this zip...
Since now it took a long time to do that manually after flashing a new rom.

Thanks mate :fingers-crossed:
In fact i spend how many time with titanium backup, so with this script, notepad and 2minutes you can copy your defaults apps into data/app.
I'm trying to find a way to create a link to own apps ( maybe like Link2sd ), and the same for KK and MM, then the aroma package for later.

- can't access developer settings
- menu/home button doesn't work

I think it's better to keep it like this:
Android: only essetial apps like the ones you listed
sony app:remove all sony apps besides those essential ones to keep the rom working and not forced close/crash (even more bloat removal)
Google apps: play store and manager and maybe other essential ones to dl stuff from google
i think the idea here is to keep it as vanilla as possible like a nexus device i guess.
i think the debloatscript might need an update since MM has some new apps and some files might have changed names.
you've got a pretty good project going on there.
thanks for the hard work!!

I just flashed the custom rom and afterwards the debloat script. Then you get these mentioned issues. If you flash the Rom, boot system and afterwards use the script it works fine for me. I am using the non-aroma zip.
How I can install an apk from internal storage?
BACKUP="/storage/emulated/0/download/Install/TB.apk"
...
cp $BACKUP /data/app
doesn't work
I can post an updated MM Script in the next days

Thanks for the support
In fact i just need a lightweight device. Finally i have found a Marshmallow list from Xperia X, then i will update the scripts.
Once the aroma script is finished, you can select the various apps that you wish to keep :highfive:

* I hope you managed to restore from the script ?
BTW you must take care of the syntax or you can try :
/sdcard
/storage/sdcard0
/storage/emulated/0
* Thanks for the proposal, i have found a list for MM
* I will take a look at the develloper setting but from Lollipop there is no problems.
(The aroma doesn't do anything, it's under construction) Drop your script here

Thanks for the script, really useful.
Posting my experience on Z1 with rooted [ZIP][C6903] 14.6.A.1.236 Custom. DE, Pre-Rooted, XZDR-LB, Xposed Framework By motorazrv3 (thanks to him)
I used the script to manually remove some things to start with (Google Play apps) and all was ok
Then I moved priv-apps and most of apps (kept a few I wanted)
On reboot went into setup. Rebooted from there and hung on starting apps.
Then bootloops etc, all sorts of issues. In recovery moved the whole of the folders back and still had same problem (cleared davlik and cache)
Lost TWRP recovery to touchwiz (not sure how!). TWRP had a compressed backup, so needed that
I have always had a problem getting into fastboot and couldn't flash the TWRP img. Still no fastboot, tried everything searching xda and other sources
Sony flashtool connected OK, but couldn't see it let me flash .img, adb is fine. Use vol up to get into bootloader with blue led. Connected to usb with volume up etc, nothing no fastboot (waiting for device)
Anyway, rebooted to recovery again, and WTF - TWRP ! So restored last backup and all OK
Don't blame your script, but just letting others know, if you run on Z1 (.236 anyway) make sure you have a backup and are prepared for some hassle
But thanks elshr, I know a bit of linux scripting and it was good for learning. Have gone back to freeze / disable for now until I have some more time

UPDATE 01 06 2106
Aroma installer package is compatible with JB-KK-LP-MM-NP and is build with this 3 options :
DEBLOATING
Just chose which option you need to debloat ! then they will be move into /system/_keep_safe
Original build.prop is keep safe into /system/_keep_safe
The logging file goes into the same folder. If you need help, you should drop it in the thread @ xda
SET YOURS
If you have dropped your app & media in the package, they will move into /system/app & /system/media
If you have edited the set_yours.sh, it will be read then install your app into /data/app
If you have dropped your modded build.prop in the front of package, it will overwrite original build.prop
RESTORATION
Original build.prop will be restored then the bloatwares too, all at they default location.

UPDATE 06-06-2016
Aroma, available options stable !
Updated download link then you can vote for the poll
