[APP] [4.0.3+] App Backup (Simple backup app) [update 7/26]

Hello XDA :victory:
I just finished making a simple yet useful backup app for Android 4.0.3+ (Root needed)
It can:
Make a Nandroid backup of the following partitions: /data, /cache, /android-secure, /sd-ext, /system
Copy all user installed APK's into the sdcard
Simple, yes, but somewhat useful

I see that you are using an old version of Online Nandroid. I would really appreciate if you could keep it upto date.
Btw, great attempt at an app.

Lost root on smoothrom 4.1(urgent help needed)

hello guys,yesterday i flashed smoothrom 4.1 and everything was fine. Today i noticed that some root apps are telling me to allow root access through supersu. In supersu i found that all my root apps were granted.Then i downloaded Root checker from google play and it is telling me i have no root. I have already tried flashing supersu.zip from TWRP....after booting backup it is still not rooted. Any solution for this.i am willing to reflash everything except wiping my device.

[Q] Storage space running out - but what's using it?

I realize there's plenty of threads with more or less the exact same topic. But I haven't found an answer in any of them that helps my situation.
Alright here's the deal:
I'm getting the "Storage space running out"-notification. And apps are starting to FC.. My phone is a i9505 and I'm currently running Carbon. But this was a problem with CM 10.2 too.
Here's what confuses me:
Code:
[email protected]:/data # busybox df -m
Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
...
/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata
9351 9300 50 99% /data
...
/dev/fuse 9351 9300 50 99% /mnt/shell/emulated
...
/dev/block/vold/179:33
30688 25851 4837 84% /storage/sdcard1
Those should be the interesting bits (I'm showing off my 32GB external card here as well). Right, so I'm using 99%, or 9300MB.
Now here's how I check what's taking up the space:
Code:
[email protected]:/ # du -d1 -m /data
1 /data/dontpanic
3404 /data/media
1 /data/misc
1 /data/local
252 /data/data
1 /data/app-private

1 /data/ssh
1 /data/radio

1 /data/resource-cache
1 /data/lost+found
1 /data/drm

1 /data/tombstones
1 /data/nfc
1 /data/user
6 /data/qcks
1 /data/backup
1 /data/anr
5302 /data
du sums it up for us: 5302MB on /data
DiskUsage is showing me "System data" is taking up the space, but it doesn't tell me what or where:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've checked solutions mentioned in related threads (all over the internets):
* The "/datadata" issue - I don't have this directory
* The "lost + found" - It's 1MB as you can see
* The "/data/log" issue - I don't have this directory
So what am I missing?

Well wouldn't you know. After a reboot the usage is down and df reports the same as du. I'm still confused as to what took up the space though.. I even got Java exceptions (from DiskUsage) saying the disk was full.

Root access

Below is the results from Root Checker Pro. I used Towelroot to Root this device a few weeks ago. When i opened SuperSu today I got a prompt to install the SU binary again. Here are the SS's.

When I tap OK I get this:
I tap normal and get this:
And then the app closes. Trying again after a reboot produces the same results.
I know that it successfully rooted a few weeks ago and all apps that need root access are functioning fine. Xposed and other root apps are running flawlessly. Knox is unharmed at 0x0 and there is no custom recovery yet. (Wasn't sure if I wanted to void warranty yet). I was considering flashing Safestrap tonight but I don't want to proceed if there are issues. Any suggestions?

I usually select the twrp option and then reboot and try the install a couple times...eventually it will take.

[GUIDE][Android 8.0] Reducing battery consumption on a Galaxy Tab S3/S4

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
This guide almost halves the battery consumption on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S3/S4 with Android 8.0.
Compared for example with a Google Pixel C, the battery on a Samsung Galaxy Tab reduces significantly faster due to some unnecessary apps from Samsung and a questionable and very comprehensive tracking of user data.
This tutorial is very careful with deactivating apps and only covers the absolutely crucial apps. Other tutorials remove significantly more apps, but this has no effect on battery consumption.
Hint: Operating the Galaxy Tab S3 under Android 8 is highly recommended as the performance is 25%-50% faster than under Android 7.
1. Install the following Google apps to later remove the sluggish and battery consuming Samsung apps:
Gmail
Contacts
Clock
Calculator
2. Disable the following packages, which consume battery unnecessarily:
Code:
adb shell su -c pm disable com.samsung.android.app.clockpack
adb shell su -c pm disable com.samsung.android.calendar
adb shell su -c pm disable com.samsung.android.contacts[I] (* If you want to use the phone dialer, then don't disable this package!)[/I]
adb shell su -c pm disable com.samsung.android.email.provider
adb shell su -c pm disable com.samsung.android.providers.context
adb shell su -c pm disable com.samsung.android.rubin.app
adb shell su -c pm disable com.samsung.android.voc
adb shell su -c pm disable com.sec.android.app.clockpackage
adb shell su -c pm disable com.sec.android.app.popupcalculator
adb shell su -c pm disable com.sec.android.app.sbrowser
adb shell su -c pm disable com.sec.spp.push
3. Optional: Remove remaining bloatware
Code:
adb shell su -c pm disable com.android.providers.partnerbookmarks
adb shell su -c pm disable com.microsoft.office.excel
adb shell su -c pm disable com.microsoft.office.onenote
adb shell su -c pm disable com.microsoft.office.powerpoint
adb shell su -c pm disable com.microsoft.office.word
adb shell su -c pm disable com.samsung.android.ststub
adb shell su -c pm disable com.samsung.android.knox.containeragent
adb shell su -c pm disable com.samsung.android.knox.containercore
adb shell su -c pm disable com.samsung.knox.securefolder
adb shell su -c pm disable com.samsung.knox.securefolder.setuppage
adb shell su -c pm disable com.sec.enterprise.knox.attestation
adb shell su -c pm disable com.sec.enterprise.knox.cloudmdm.smdms
adb shell su -c pm disable com.sec.enterprise.mdm.services.simpin
adb shell su -c pm disable com.sec.enterprise.mdm.vpn
4. Optional: Disable more unnecessary apps
Code:
adb shell su -c pm disable com.sec.android.app.kidshome
adb shell su -c pm disable com.sec.android.emergencylauncher
adb shell su -c pm disable com.sec.android.widgetapp.samsungapps
adb shell su -c pm disable com.sec.android.widgetapp.webmanual
adb shell su -c pm disable com.sec.musicstudio
If anyone has any further tips, please contact me.

Thanks, rainman. May I ask, which app you are using above?

It's GSam Battery Monitor Pro

Can't do this with unrooted devices right? Since it uses "su -c"?
Anyway "adb shell su -c pm disable" doesn't work on my Tab S3.
Tried "pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of package>" and it works but it uninstalls it though.

Package Disabler pro for Samsung
Hi,
Same Problem with unrooted device here. Can not disable the mentioned apps by using adb from my computer. Completely uninstalling is a bit risky I guess.
Found an app called Package Disabler Pro for Samsung instead. Works on unrooted stock devices and disables every app you want. Just tick the checkbox near to it. If you can not find the mentioned packages by name use the search function on top.
Works great, but you have to pay for it. For me it is worth that.

Edit: Read on another place that Samsung AASA Service has to be disabled running oreo. Works for me.

Every app from the OP can be disabled with this command, no root necessary: $ pm disable-user --user 0 PACKAGENAME

Possibly unrelated question..
My understanding is that if you uninstall an app, that modifies the /system partition, which would then fire dm-verity on next boot.
I also am at a loss as how the app can be truly uninstalled with the /system partition read only.
So does "pm uninstall..." actually uninstall on an unrooted device?
Thanks in advance for any clarification here.
