Volume boost?

Hi Folks.
I've been looking around for some time but didnt found it, so i'm asking
Is there is any way to boost up volume of conversation in sgs+ 2.3.6 stock rom?
I've allready set the volume to the max and its way to quiet for me
especailly when im in city traffic.. Any app or script for make it happen?
Cheers

I think the vitality kernel was able to boost the volume.

Thanks guys.
Im new to all that android and linux thing so need to read a little bit more i suppose. I was hoping for some kind of script (copy and execute) or maybe editing some lines somewhere, that kind of stuff.
Really no other way that flashing to custom kernel? (Im little bit worry bout warranty as its samsung)

either way, editing something in system (requires root),and BOOM-there goes your warranty
did you try some volume+ apps in google play?(you will still have your warranty but not sure if the app itself works what it is supposed to)

Thats where u wrong, I'v allready rooted my phone, theres easy wasy to unroot it when needed so you still have your warranty (except of situations where phone is bricked or unable to preform unroot od course)
I''ve tried some of google play apps but all they do is enhance sound of players but not the conversation it self...

Ive get this nitrality app, there is a option called FULL SYSTEM BACKUP is this is a ROM & kernel backup as well or is it only backing up that efs partition?
So feamode 1.4 can be use for flashing with new kernel, can i also use it to backup existing one?

How to take backup of stock ROM before rooting?

Guys please suggest is there any way to have backup of stock ROM before rooting?

The only thing you have to backup are your apps and their data. I suggest to use "Titanium-Backup" it is not for free, but the best solution. I didn´t do a backup. Normally you don´t be forced to use it (until you want to install a custom rom)

Check some the threads in the Dev section about making your own ftf.

Doesn't having the original copy of stock ROM without the root and possible changes to flash counter give a clean ROM especially for warranty work?

There isn't any way to make a backup without a working recovery, so you need root, to delete all the trails of the root you need only to flash a stock firmware with flashtool.
(If you want to unlock your bootloader, take a backup of your TA partition to save the warranty)
You can find all on the forum
You don't need to make a backup of your apps and data, cause if you only root without unlocking bootloader it won't wipe anything.
Sorry, I didn't read the date of the post.

Ya got it and thanks for your reply. Anyways I have sold xz and moved on to Z Ultra.

Does it fit for Samsung devices, Tablets?

No, if they have a flash counter you can use the triangle away app from chainfire to reset the flash counter, and go back in warranty

Thanks Anyway, the problem redoing the Rom didn't change the Knox status. So since knox is trigger can't update, which I think is going too far. I should be entitled to updates and if they don't work that is on me. Looking for a forum where people may want to class action suit on Samsung over knox.

Backing up Stock Firmware

Hi Gus/Gals.
How do i go about creating a back up of my stock firmware encase i stuff things up rooting or putting a new rom on.

I used the Sony PC companion software to back up the settings, etc. It's not like a nandroid backup but I suppose if things go wrong you can load the standard firmware and restore your settings, contact, messages, etc...

Follow this to create a stock FTF file that can be flashed via flastool any time you want.

Its not quite like a nandroid backup, and ftf files are much better.
If you want a complete backup for your phone after you have installed all apps and set it up the way you like then a nandroid backup is the best way

You can also try Sonys Backup and Restore App, it does save your App Data too!

What options are there for making NANDroid backups?

Since late November of last year my N900A has been running stock OS (Android 4.3) but is rooted via RDLV and soon after did the OTA update to MJ5.
I would like to start experimenting with Xposed modules but I would like to make a complete backup of my device just in case something goes wrong. Since our bootloader is still locked and and we cannot install Clockworkmod Recovery or TeamWin Recovery Project, what are my other options?
Thank you in advance.

Do you know if this is useful for stock ROM? Let's say I'm playing around with risky apps, before I use them, I could make a backup with Safestrap?
I'm a little confused about with all the custom ROM speak in the developers thread

yes it is you need a external sdcard though

Because the backup I just made (I went ahead and installed Safestrap, made a backup) is stored in the same place as the sytem, and if my phone were to become corrupt, that backup would no longer be available?
Thanks for the reply, just straightening this out in my head so I understand it better

If I wanted to then I could find that backup file, store it on my computer, and if it ever comes down to needing it, go out and buy an external and go from there? I assume Safestrap needs to be installed on the external sdcard, or just the backup file?
Thanks again for your help

How to back up my factory ROM?

Just got a new unit and would like to make a full backup of the factory ROM before proceeding to try out different ROMs. I did find an old thread from 2011 [HOW-TO]Create Custom ODIN Images for Backup/Restore but I'm not entirely sure if this is still accurate advice.
Also, it says that the device needs to be rooted in order to make the backups. My understanding is that if I root the system it will be detected by the system and OTA updating will then be disabled, which is not what I want. So my second question is: Is it really necessary to root and if so what is the best temporary method?

Small piece of advice my friend, be sure to include EFS in the backup to be on the safe side, also I suggest making a copy on a external SD or transferring to a PC

Why efs?

According to TWRP they say:
Some devices have “special partitions” like WiMAX, pds, efs, etc. These partitions almost never need to be included in a normal backup.

I already did one restore from my backup which had not included efs and it worked ok. What exactly is efs and why would we need it?

The EFS folder contains important information from the phone, like the IMEI for example, and if it gets erased by error it may affect your ability to successfully connect to a provider. Backups in TWRP will give you the option to backup important partitions one of those is the EFS folder, alternatively you may also use an application to make a backup (requires root) like EFS Manager(IMEI)-Note4 on the play store.
