[Q] Device backup (samsung cloud) not working

Has anyone managed to get the Samsung backup to work (the inbuilt sms/mms/call log one in settings)??
In previous roms (4.1.1 and LLKC port) I tried to backup my sms but it always froze at 0% for a min or so then eventually failed. I thought this might be due to the "modified" status of my device but have had no confirmation.
Now im running LL3 stock official (i9305) and when I go to device backup I immediately get a black screen and settings force close. Is this the same for other people? my install was non-wipe.
Hope someone can shed light on the matter. It would be a useful function imo .

[WEIRD PROBLEM]Home screen quick settings/notification menu GONE on MULTIPLE 6.0 roms

Root, TWRP 3.0.2-3
Problem appeared on: SLICK-S427-ROW_by_SHENGE 6.0 rom
Problem:
notification icons on home screen top bar are gone
quick settings/notification pull down menu (the one with wifi, flashlight, airplane, etc.) on home screen cannot be accessed (neither by swiping down nor by using a Nova Launcher widget)
On the lock screen they both work. On a 5.0.2 rom (miui7_v6.5.26) they both work as well.
I have tried options, different launchers, TWRP factory reset, TWRP full wipe, TWRP format data and flashed several other top 6.0 roms - nothing helped. Even a full format and installing a 6.0 rom that I know worked before!
Cheers.
Same problem
I have exactly the same problem. Even the alarm wont go off because for some reason the notifications dont work. The problem happened when I tried to put in a second SIM and since then I can't get to fix it.
my solution
I probably should have posted this long ago, but forgot. Anyway, here's my issue:
it's the additional security PIN.
I have tried multiple unofficial ROMs for my phone. Some of them had the option of setting an additional security PIN (10+ characters) for situations like SIM card change (anti-theft measures built into the ROM). The problem is, when you later change the ROM to one without such an option, it will somehow "remember" (I guess the info is stored on a different partition or something) that it should ask for the security PIN upon changing SIM cards, but the current ROM lacks this functionality. This is why the phone acts so weird.
The solution for me was: flash a ROM that had this security PIN anti-theft option, enter it and disable it completely. Then you should be able to flash and enjoy whatever ROM you want.
Hope it helps.
EDIT: this could possibly also be achieved by installing an anti-theft apk that has this functionality, but I have not tried that.
Which ROM
Do you remember which ROM has the feature? Cause I cant seem to find one.
I don't quite remember, but most likely it was one of the AOSP LEMONADE family, a Lollipop.
Thank you very much sir, my problem finally got solved. For future reference, the ROM I used is this one: http://www.needrom.com/download/aosp-lemonade-v3/ although I' m sure many more will have the same anti-theft option.

Restore from HTC Backup "stuck"

I got my HTC One M7 Dual SIM (t802w) phone back from service. Before I passed to the service I wiped my phone with factory recovery menu. I would like to restore my phone status from HTC Backup as it was before sent to service. Basically looks right (SMS, WIFI, calls restored) but when "restoring application" (or similar because I am using in Hungarian language) seems that goes into a loop saying "58 of 64" and start over and over again. At the same time application installation in progress. When application installation itself was ended the "restoring application" loop still happens. I go to the Google Play and there was around nine more update. I updated all. Then got still updates even Google Play says there is no upgrades, for example fot HTC Backup application itself. The mentioned loop still displaying "58 of 64" and start from "1 of 64". When upgraded HTC Backup the loop disappeared but restoring process is finished (or canceled). Then I am not able to run manually restoring process because the system says that my already restored. That means I lost (or was not able to restore) a lot of settings for applications. My widgets settings and my homepage setup gone (or was not able to restore).
Is there any known reason for this? Any process to solve this loop and able to restore my phone? It is very frustrating that I have backup and I cannot use therefore I need to setup all my application again.
I am using the latest stock HTC firmware and my device is not rooted. I found some topic similar to this but those are because there was some version or firmware changing. I am not like that I would like to restore exactly to the same firmware as it was.

How to return to stock?

Hello guys! After experiencing all custom ROMS including Xiaomi.EU, figured out that every single one has some small inconvenience for me and planning to return to stock, eventually using only Magisk and potentially a custom Kernel.
Managed to install every single version of Global Developer ROM, everything works well except the FaceUnlock that was gone, (the phone remained stucked in China region) and I am not able to access the fingerprint section, after few tries it brings me an error message.
Tried also using MIFlash , but the Fastboot ROM writting took 3 sec to write and stopped as successfully, then nothing but bootlooping.
Currently is the phone is functional, but as mentioned before not able to setup new fingerprints (using cache and data from old recovery and those work) neither Face Unlock.
Tried to Google any kind of solution, but unfortunately nothing worked.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
I see that nobody is interested to support, so I continuously researched and figured out that doing a full wipe and following these steps from this post will solve my problem:

From I don't know which reason I was blocked on China region without the possibility to changing it.

Diagonally inverted screen after flashing Custom ROM on 7 y.o. RK3066 tablet

Hello,
I recently dusted off my old RK3066 GoClever R83.2 tablet which had troubles with keeping system up on original firmware. I googled a bit and found out the same tablet goes by other names, like chinese Teclast P85HD or italian Mediacom SmartPad 875s2. I also found a couple of custom roms for the latter on some shady russian site which haven't been updated since 2013. I stared experimenting with ROMs, managed to get some to work but somehow after third or fourth flash my touch screen started acting up. I managed to enable "Show touch" option in dev settings using pc mouse and noticed that touch registration is inverted diagonally (i.e. when I slide my finger across the screen "/", touch is registered as "\").
I haven't found much information on how to fix this issue. I know that Samsung smartphones can execute dial code to update screen firmware (which is impossible to do on a tablet since there is no dialer app) and there's also method with editing build.prop or extracting and editing scripts.bin.
Editing build.prop didn't do much and I couldn't extract scripts.bin (no /dev/block/nanda directory / No block device error in ADB). I tried to flash stock GoClever ROM but it didn't fix the issue.
I was using RKBatchTool to flash the ROMs, and the current ROM name is Stock_Slim_Mod_v2 for SmartPad 875s2.
Can someone help me? I'd really want to fix this tablet.
