Any idea if it's working with Donut? AppManager Pro isn't.

Developer of AppManager Pro is zx128, but this one is CurveFish. It's different applications.
This one works good on donut.

I know they're different, which is exactly why I asked. If they were the same I'd already know the answer. I wanted to see if I need to replace the zx128 one. The response I received from him didn't imply that he's even working on Donut support until it's officially released.
Thanks for the info. I'm gonna try it when CM 4.2 is released.

wow, an app manager that actually has batch install!!
curvefish never seizes to amaze me.

New version released: v1.4.0
Changes v1.4.0:
New backup manager.
Now you can backup all or selected applications at once.
Delete backup file right from Backup Manager
See what apps are backuped
After backuping you get detailed backup report, how much apps are overwritten, skipped, new, fixed and not backuped.
You can sort apps by name, size, date
Bug fixes.

New version released: v1.4.1
Changes v1.4.1:
Added global SD Card search for apk in Install Manager (Need to be activated in Settings)
Added sorting by backuped applications in Backup Manager
Changed Notification
Some bug fixes

got this app, and its rly rly cool .

I really like this app, but wished it also backed up settings, like home screen icons, call logs etc.. otherwise I need to still continue using mybackup pro.

When restoring the apps with this app, do they show up under 'downloads' in the market?

Pretty sure that's a NO. While I don't have this app, I've read that the only way to show under "My Downloads" is to install through the Market.

I use Backup for Root Users for those things.

No, cause you need to download app with Market to show up in My Downloads. Or have a root access.

Changes v1.4.3:
AppControl moved to Android SDK 1.6
Tested for QVGA screens
Added new header size for QVGA
Added search for Installer, you can search with software or hardware keyboard.

I just dl'd this and was uninstalling and getting a refund within an hour- it fc'd everytime I opened it on my rooted phone. I did read it does not play nice with Locale, but I am not sure that is why it constantly crashed- chris
Im willing to give it a go again, but need to know what is causing the fc's- another app? The rom im using? what?- chris
Just un-installed Locale, now dl'ing app control again- will update with results- chris

It works good with installed locale. I don't know what happened to you, can you send log when it force closed, you can get it with log collector. Send email to: curvefish [at] gmail.com

Liked it because of the mass install but is there anyway to make the installation automated?
didn't keep the app because I have to monitor the installation process and keep clicking install & done.

I would also like to see a automated batch install process. I currently use a script I made and use with Gscript.
Also, is there an option to store an older version of an app when installing a newer version? With all of the ROM updates I would like to be able to store older versions of some of my apps. That way if I update to a newer version and it doesn't work I can revert to the older version that did work.
If it would do those two things I would purchase it.

I'm currently working on batch install, but you should have root to make it works.

Sure you can make backup of your apps, and then get back to older version if you need.
And new features that will come soon is: backup and restore to/from email.

So, I could actually have four versions of the same app - the current version and three older versions - and, install the one I want without disturbing the others?

[BETA 0.5.2 - 8/3] My Android Manager - Complete phone management

My Android Manager 0.5.1
Exsiting users: Please upgrade by downloading http://myandroidmanager.com/app/MAM.exe
New Users: Please download full installation http://myandroidmanager.com/app/mam.msi
Public Beta Available : http://www.myandroidmanager.com/app/mam.msi
Note: There will be issues for tis build so if you want a perfectly stable application, just wait.
Follow my twitter and you might find sneak leaks =)
To those that have been following and installing:
I am still working on an update system people... Bear with me. It will most likely not come until we are out of beta
What it is:
An application meant to automate all of your phone management needs through the use of ADB. If you are are more comfortable with typing out every command and don't need a easier and quicker way to accomplish it, you dont need this app. It's basically a visual adb commander. Instructions will not come until we are on a stable build. If you have not installed the drivers for your phone correctly, this application will not work. Please search the forum for tips on getting your phone recognized. In the early stages, this program will work best if you have already configured adb and have used it. It is recommended that you move adb.exe to windows/system32 in order to execute adb from any directory. Also, be sure to run this program as administrator!! There will be bugs until version hits 1.0 In later stages the application will be integrated with xda to bring you the latest ROMS to make flashing a click of a button.
Beta Process:
The newest versions will always be released to a small test group to test the efficency before being fully released. This ensures that everyone gets a stable and working application. While it sounds like it has its advantages, I do ask that you fully test and take note of changes in your system when bugs do occur. A great beta tester tries to look for errors to make it easier on the developer when tracing the root of the problem. A great beta tester, and a develpers friend =), doesn't just say a certain feature isn't working. THose who are still interested, contact me whichever way you prefer
Initial Beta Released 7/14/2009
Current feature set planned:
- ADB Detection - Complete
- ADB Installation - Complete
- Phone Detection - Complete
- Flash files with ease - Complete
- Advanced file manager - Complete
- Drag and Drop Files - Complete

if you can just make a program for
- Format sd card fat32/ext2/3
i will love you!
Other than that, this sounds really cool and would be very useful! Good luck on it and hope to see it soon especialy with the daily Rom updates hahahaha

i agree
this should all be possible but most likely using the sdsplit method. I will do some testing on some spare sd cards I have
that would be cool. I guess you can make an adb bat script to download and install the sdplit.sh and then run it. That would be possible
EDIT: You should also add a nandroid backup and restore option. There is already a GUI for it but if you integrate it with your program i would use it constantly!
Id say add the linux-swap creation too. Cause it seems to be the future in how we all partition it now. Side request tho, FTP backup/restore option, I know since Im between home and work, I upload everything to my FTP. Now that would be nice to have something automate that work for me so I always have it safe and can access it anywhere.
Thanks for the ideas guys. I plan on implementing them
Added nandroid backup/restore to feature list.
ADB check/install is currently coded and working
Edit: All Done! System enviroment variables will be changed when ADB installed. Note: This will not correct the error of the driver being incorrectly installed. This happens when you dont enable debugging on your android phone and plug it up for the first time.
To fix this, you must delete some registry settings in order for adb to be recognized correctly.
This app will be made of pure win! I can't wait to see it! I know I'm new around here but I will do what I can to help this community as it has also helped me quite a bit with many different phones.
If only we could get this application completed, and a Hero ROM for the Dream, I'm pretty sure I'd drop a nut right here in this thread lol!

New screenshot added and FTP upload/download feature will be added to the list.
Speaking of the FTP, It might be a good idea to allow "Sync with FTP" so this way if your at work, vola it syncs with that folder kinda like a imap server. =)
Must admit, I am very impressed ^_^ Wish I could code as my previous job had positions open for it but its something that doesn't appeal to me, yet I have nothing but great admiration to those who can.
Keep up the good work ^_^

This looks like such an awesome program! Good luck!
a suggestion, contact aTrackdog, maybe you can run ties with each other. Since they have good version monitoring, info etc this could tie in possibly. Just a thought. =)

You mean tie this in with android software updates? Def. a possibility. It would make it an all-around android windows application for the Dream..
Tomorrow I will begin android backups and ftp syncing... The hardest will be handling the formatting of SD cards. I have some code (besides sdsplit) that may allow this. I have plenty of backup sd's to test this on
Ok this just looks soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo amazing. I cannot wait to test this out . Good job on this. I have a question though, how does it know when there will be a new version and how would it get the changelog?

Click to expand...

a very tricky method and a lot of code that stratefically looks through the XDA web site for changes in the original thread. The installed program will connect to an online database upon startup that checks for updates but the process that actually does the scanning will be on my pc. The application will be replicating the database server. It knows what the old changelog was so any new text will be added to the changelog.
It's a tricky procedure but its been working VERY well in my tests. Of course this wont account for new ROMS that are added so I will have to check periodically for new ROMS. The app will still allow you to flash a ROM you download.
Hopefully once it's up and running, the dev's will get involved. I can give them an app to update the information the application is pulling in. It would be a win win for devs as they can track amount of downloads..
Dude this is going to be soo sick can't wait hopefully every dev will use it
something else that could be implemented into this is a prompt or warning advisory that goes alongside each rom. like if it's a hero rom, it prompts you to make sure you have the correct spl, radio, and whatnot installed first. and if you don't have one installed, it will install the necessary things for you prior to installing the rom so that it will help prevent a brick or something.
yeah... something like that....

I created this because there is one floating around here on the forums that is actually a fake jellybean inverted apps flashable .zip this one is completely real. I compiled this file myself and contains the latest G apps and inverted jellybean apps. This should work on all devices but use at your own risk. This is for CM 10 and AOKP JB only.
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible if you do not read this OP and break your phone. If your significant other leaves you because you become more addicted to your phone. If you wake up one day as a black and white speckled jellybean.
I present to you....JustinBean Aroma JB
Directions:
I recommend a full wipe but only if its your first time using JustinBean Aroma.
Install the jellybean ROM of your choice
Open up the JustinBean aroma file within cwm.
Wipe Cache within the JustinBean aroma application. (If you are using a new kernel select option three wipe cache and kernel)
Install what you want
Finish running installer then you have the option to reboot or go back to clockwork mod.
Installer will wait 30 sec before rebooting this is to ensure that everything is installed fully.
Enjoy and please don't forget to use the thank you button.
This is a custom installer that will allow you the user to choose which converted applications you would like to install. The choice now is completely up to you you can pick one to all none it's completely your choice. This is a completely touch process where you touch the screen to choose which you would like to install. You can install the latest launchers you can also install app add-ons such as ES file explorer.
Note:
If you are experiencing touch screen issues please use your volume up and down keys as well as the power button to select your options. Since this is a universal app there is only so much one can do to make it universal for all. You may also press your menu button when inside of the installer for a touch screen config for the app (though this feature is still not guaranteed to work). You will be able to launch my file manager directly from the application while inside clockwork mod this is for advanced users only.
Please do not post my download link or app without prior consent from me

This is awesome, I've been wanting inverted gapps without having to theme my whole rom, thank you so much. I'm going to flash tonight with the new CM10 nightly
update: just finished installing a fresh CM10 with this package and everything went incredibly smooth. I didn't install nearly all of the available inverted apps so I can't say if they all work, but the ones I did pick work like a charm, and the install program was amazing. My only question is, will there be any way to update the apps without losing the inverted-ness? Gmail says it has an update, but I assume if I do it'll break it.

Unfortunately you will have to wait until my person who does the seeming updates his applications and then I update my installers . If the Google play store notification bothers you you can detach the app from the market using titanium backup. Not everything will be in an extremely timely manner due to the amount of applications we are supporting

No it doesn't bother me, mostly because Gmail happens to be one of the apps I choose not to invert. I was just curious. Another quick question, would it be possible to get rid of the contact pictures in SMS without rewriting the entire app? I liked how in stock touchwiz SMS it didn't have those cluttering up the screen.

No sorry I myself and others want our contact pictures the app would have to be completely rewritten from scratch in order for that to happen
Oh I know it's useful and people want it, I was just wondering if there's a way to toggle it but I figured as much about having to be rewritten. Anyway, thanks for all the hard work, inverted apps were pretty much the only thing I was missing from my flashing adventures :good: I hope to see more in the future

Big thanks to
Specifically every person here that does source work
Waiting patiently for download link
Nice
LG G2X
A few things about this rom, firstly this is a port from a Samsung device, thus it features control panel options not normally found in some CM roms, you MAY need to go to the app store if this has no on-screen navigation buttons.
I have added MIUI apps not normally found to round it off as a MIUI clone, I think this is something you folks will like a lot since your CM10 base is so functional to begin with. : D
To get themes, go to themes in settings like you normally would, It's been replaced with a fully working clone of the MIUI theme manager which can apply themes, and can browse themes online.
you XT925 folks are going to have to inform me of the working status of this in order for progress to happen, if any is needed.
So are the same things that are wrong with CM 10 affecting this ROM too? (i.e. Bluetooth music)?
Have any rogers users tried it yet? does LTE work?
Doesnt work. I used cwm, but stuck in a bootloop

The same for me. Boot loop every time. I even formatted /system. Erased /data and /cache. Nothing works.
It seems to work, as you can see the start up welcome screen, but before you have a chance to click on the "next" button, the system reboots.
It's an issue with the base, I will upload a working one either tonite or tomorrow.
Ok, for the next revision of this I will need a dedicated tester to confirm the working order before I put a release up, please PM me with some kind of real-time contact info

I can confirm it. I cannot restore my backups because the system cant find an SD. I can write to the internal and external SDs using the built in file manager, but for some strange reason, I cannot write to them using ROM Toolbox, nor any other program. also, for the same reason, I cannot download the Gapps file listed on the update part of the settings.
Thank you for your hard work.

Don't mess around with any OTA updates or it could mess up your phone; anyway I'm not sure exactly why this is happening, I am going to send a PM to another porter of this rom who is used to Moto Devices and see what they have to say!

Good job man
Sliced by my Razr HD on Tapatalk
Hello Tquetski. Any progress on this ROM? I guess you are really busy now, but I got so frustrated because you ae so close on this one.
I hope you have the time to continue working on this and future ROMs. Your continue support on porting for this phone is really appreciated.
Appreciate it as well. Also same USB problem as previous post about it. Same crash with media but when plugging in the cable or trying to use the gapps I used. Installed twice. First time the crash wouldn't allow adb, second time was with gapps from 20121130 and still crash on cable but adb works. Play store crashes with same media related file but youtube works. Perhaps youtube was already part of the rom....
Am uninstalling for now but can come back to it to test (Not a lot of time of the day for it though, but as much as I can) if you need it.
Also, don't know if it matters but I noticed that symlinks in the ROM don't work as expected, for example sdcard and /mnt/sdcard just return sdcard and /mnt/sdcard when typing ls. putting a trailing slash works, for example /sdcard/
I've noticed some apps rely on /mnt when they look for things.
update from above. Installed gapps from cm site and that went better and the store works. Titanium backups were on external drive and restored fine, as you'de expect. Titanium backup states, upon launch, Media Storage: not mounted but also then displays the correct amount of available storage for it.
So for example it says:
-----------------------------------
Root Acces: ok
Hypershell: yes
...
Media Storage: Not mounted
Backup Directory: /storage/sdcard1/Titanium
Then at the bottom
System Rom: 1.53 gb (1.09 GB Free)
Internal: *looks like the correct amount*
Media: *looks like the correct amount*
Ext. Sd Card: *looks like the correct amount*
-------------------------------------
Internal and Media in the above part are slightly differant than what df at the terminal says but not by much so it seems that Titanium certainly sees the space there in the second part but doesn't see it as the space its supposed to use.
I hope you can fix it. Thanks for getting this far.
One last edit; stock rom behaves the same way with symlinks.
File permissions of mounted internal sd card look the same, from memory, so its not something so simple overlooked at that level.
Happy to have been of no help

[Q] Advice on what to do with my Note 3

Currently, my note 3 is laggy, buggy and obnoxious. The Samsung stock messaging app cannot handle lots of texts. I cannot let any other apps access my facebook contacts either, so getting another app isn't quite a remedy. I would like to put a new ROM my phone without tripping knox, but that isn't necessary. If I could somehow streamline a back up, that would really help.
I would like to get another ROM, but I'm not sure what ROM I want. Could someone educate me on this, advise me on backing things up and tell me how to flash the new ROM? I've tried researching but I'm completely lost.
Thanks in advance!
bump!
Are you on Jellybean or KitKat?
If you're on Jellybean:
1. Download Kingo and root (use Kingo version 1.1.8 if you're on NB4)
2. Download and install Safestrap v3.71 (not sure if you need to install Busybox for that version. I'd download and install it anyways just to be safe)
3. Visit the Android development section and try out a bunch of different ROMs until you find one that you like the most
If you're on KitKat:
1. Download Towelroot and root
2. Download and install Safestrap v3.72 along with Busybox (Busybox is required this time)
3. Visit the Android development section and try out a bunch of different ROMs and see what you like best
Note: if you are on NC2 KitKat you can only flash KitKat ROMs. I don't know what you like or what you're looking for in a ROM, so try them all until you find one that works best for you. Make sure to read the installation instructions for each ROM before your flash it!!!!

Thanks so much! This site is just on a whole other level when it comes to tech knowledge than what I'm used to. I'm doing my best to keep up.
Any reason I shouldn't just use Titanium backup?

Titanium backup will let you backup your apps (and possibly texts), but not your rom. Safestrap should let you create a backup of your entire rom.

Is there anything that will get apps, app data, texts/mms, contacts, etc? Basically every bit of what I've done to the phone?
I'd like to be able to add everything back easily. Or could I do that from the backup of the ROM somehow?

Titanium backup should allow you to backup all of that I believe. Titanium was buggy for me when trying to back up texts. There are several apps in the store you can use to backup texts/mms and contacts if titanium doesn't work for you. Also, syncing your contacts to gmail is the best way to back up and restore contacts.
You cannot restore bits and pieces of a backed up rom.

I just realized only Titanium Backup Pro does Text/mms. Any ideas for a windows program or another app to use?
I just wanted to warn you about Titanium Backup: make sure you only freeze apps and never under any circumstances uninstall them. I've found out the hard way many times that uninstalling preinstalled apps can cause all sorts of problems and you will have to reflash the ROM to cure them. Also, if you aren't 100% sure what something is then don't freeze it.
Try using hangouts as default messenger, I use it and to me its 1000 times better than the stock samsung one.

Just search for sms backup or contacts backup in the store. Any of them should do the job.
Sms backup & restore is good
Thanks guys! After rooting, I got set CPU, gravity box, a new messaging app which was able to use Facebook pics, and I've really improved my experience. I removed a lot of remaining bloat were too.
I may yet get a new ROM, but I'll probably wait for cyanogenmod to get. Less buggy. I want something with support.

There is no and never will be any Cyanogenmod for the AT&T Note 3. If you want a solid ROM with AOSP styling and lots of support try out Dynamic Kat with the GPE theme. That's the closest you're going to get to CM with this phone.

This is the supported devices page. It's there.
If what you mean is that there will never be a Cyanogenmod ROM made for the note 3, then that makes sense.

No, what he meant was that with a locked boot loader on the AT&T Note 3, AOSP-based roms will never work because they require a different kernel.
Also, to get a lot of cool custom ROM features without flashing a custom ROM, download and install the Xposed framework (google it). It's very easy to install and opens up a ton of customization options.

Makes sense. Thanks for the input guys. I'll be considering flashing, but for now, root access has given me a ton of improvements.
I wouldn't be so sure that the bootloader will remain locked forever. From what I understand a presenter at Black Hat is apparently going to show a method for unlocking the bootloader on any current Samsung phone.

Pixel 2 Launcher

It works great.

Are you able to to get to the Google Now panel by swiping right? The way I read the XDA article about this release of the launcher, as long as you are on a Pixel or Nexus device, root is not required (even though I have root) and it is not required to be installed as a system app.
Quote from the XDA article:
"All you have to do is download the Pixel Launcher that we uploaded below and install it onto your device. It doesn’t need to be installed onto the system partition (meaning it doesn’t need root), and if you already have the Pixel Launcher installed then it will just install right on top of it. Enjoy!"
I have tried installing the new launcher over the older one I had installed and doing a clean install of the the new .apk you referenced and the .apk referenced in the XDA article and I cannot get swipe to the right to take me to the Google Now panel. The calendar/weather widget is working fine so I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. Any ideas?

I think XDA post means that Pixel 2 launcher itself doesn't require root to work, but the google now feature still need root access.

Thanks for your response. Some additional research I did (which I won't bore everyone with for such a small issue) also seems to indicate that Google Now will work with the new Pixel Launcher without it being installed as a system app. If it ends up that it does need to be installed as a System app I'm going to switch back to Launcher3, which lets Google Now work without Launcher3 being installed as a System app, and it has some other nice features.

There is a rootless mod version here . However, the vanilla pixel 2 launcher still need to be installed as a system app.

I saw that earlier, I really don't want to do a bunch of work arounds. If I get no other by the time I wake up tomorrow afternoon I'm going back to launcher3. It worked perfectly for me without modifications and I have it backed up with Titanium Backup so it's just I simple restore to get back to where I was. Thanks.
Seems to work out of the box with version 1.2. No work arounds required

Absolutely, Launcher3 version 2.1 works great but I have seen some decreased battery life using it. I like the new calendar/weather widget and the bottom search bar in the new Pixel launcher from the Pixel 2 so that is why I switched. Both of those work great after I installed the new Pixel launcher and my battery life increased quite dramatically, but I can't get swipe right to access the Google Now panel to work. From the XDA article here, the way I read it is if you have a Pixel or Nexus phone the .apk does not have to be installed as a system app for the Google Now panel to work:
"We should note that the Google Now panel will not work if you install the official version below on a non-Google Nexus or Pixel device as the Pixel Launcher needs to be installed as a system app in order for it to show the Google Now panel"
It indicates the same in the install instructions:
"It doesn’t need to be installed onto the system partition (meaning it doesn’t need root)"
There is a modded version that allows the Google Now panel to work on non Pixel and Nexus devises but I have a Nexus so I don't think I should need to use the modded version:
"Alternatively, you can install this modified version of the Google Pixel Launcher by XDA Senior Member paphonb. His version works on non-Google devices and allows you to use the Google Now panel"
Maybe I am just reading it incorrectly but it reads that the unmodified version will allow swipe right to access the Google Now panel.
mine swipes right.

That's the modded version from the XDA article I linked. I was hoping to go with the official unmodded version but it appears that that is not going to work. Thanks.

The original one will show Google now if you use Titanium (or similar app) to make it a system app.

I use Magisk for root. Do you know if making it a system app with Titanium Backup will mess up passing the SafetyNet check?

I converted it to a system app using Titanium Backup and it doesn't appear to have affected the SafetyNet status. If Launcher3 is updated to include the calendar/weather widget and the bottom search bar I'll probably switch back as I like some of the other features it offers.
I actually just found that there is a Magisk module called "App Systemizer" that would have probably done what you where looking for also.
guys there is a link to the newest google wallpapers.on this youtube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97-4GjMzOgw
i installed them and it fixed the white "G" in the search bar to the multicolored one.
it looks amazing

Thanks for the tip. I'm pretty new to Magisk and I haven't taken a look at any of the modules yet. I will need to do so soon.
Wrong times in Now Cards
Hello everyone. The application is installed as a system. Everything works as well, except for the time of the sports cards. Shows my upcoming games with a wrong time zone, not my local time. This happens only on the preview of the football match itself (shows 2:45 PM). When clicking on the card with the additional information, the correct time is displayed (in this case 21:45). See attached images.
Where to search for the problem - in Pixel Launcher, in Google App, or my account? If it matters, I delete the data of both apps and set them up again without success ...
By returning an old version of Pixel Launcher this problem is gone.
What is the best way to get the Pixel bottom Navbar? I see a lot of screenshots with the Pixel Navbar. I'm running Pixel 2 Launcher, rooted.
Highly the final version !!! I prefer to stay for the moment on MOKEE
