You sir, are a God among men

Love to get some of the apps working on my device like mms.API but wont install

No, the applications are odexed. They need to deodexed to be freely installed elsewhere. For some at least. There are also other requirements.

i was able to install the music app and thinkfree app which is a pretty standart document viewer (as far as i can tell)
no success with other apps though

We need full system.img instead apps so we can make it work on our phone

they are unusable without libaries

how is possible that no one made a real galaxy nexus system dump?
Some blog have the phone in their hand!!
Come on let's dump it..its only a command to dump it
even if its available the sdk system image dump, its not the same

i am sure, google has some watchful eyes on their demo units to prevent a complete dump.
the galaxy nexus is supposed to be the first device with it, not some buggy port that scares (common) people

Has anyone tried deodexing the apps yet? Google earth force closes on my phone even though there's no parsing error when installing. I've seen the launcher on the sgs+ forums. It works on my phone.

Its not possible deodex those apps.

Not system dump - just system APPS dump. Rename the thread, it's misleading ;-)

App2zip

Go check out this app in the market.
It creates a zip of your apps that you can flash in cwm when you wipe phone. I know for a fact it doesn't work on Eugene's cm7 but maybe it works on other Roms. Test it first

For addictive flashers like me, this application is a God send!!
There are some bugs but here's the way to fix it:
0. Install the APPS2ZIP application from the link above.
1. Get a root file browser
2. Copy the "update-binary" file found in any T989 roms ZIP file \meta-inf folder.
3. Paste/overwrite the file here: /data/data/scd.app2zip/files
and then run the APPS2ZIP to create the update.zip file.
I have tested this file and it works great!! Its like flashable Titanium Backup restore !!

Well looking here we can make it work. Ill be testing on my lunch break!

Yes, it restores data as well. Infact its the bad thing, I wanted it to have the option of just restoring the app and no data.
Not sure how the folder structure for CM7 is, I tested it on BeastMod5. Can you look in /data location. It should be there.

You could always clear the apps data before creating the zip.

I can't count the hours I spent re-setting up all my apps after flashing. I never want to use Ti backup since I screwed it up once. This seems much easier for me.
EDIT - What's the difference between free and paid? Usually there is a change log. Or is it just a donation version?

Not to sure. All I know is that this thing is awesome haha. An integration with cwm would be cool

I would say yes, but more importantly, if it really does work, then all of us can just backup our own EFS folder
I read that the EFS folder does not contain the IMEI, but what the hell, might as well backup that folder on my external SD (done..)
Just in case there's something to it.

Well I'm not a pro at this, is their a problem sharing my IMEI? Would that cause me issues?
What I do know is that you can back up your working EFS folder and if you ever loose your IMEI just copy back that folder and your good...

Unfortunately that seems to not be the case with the Galaxy S3.. read up on the "lost IMEI" threads

Jarule51082 thanks for the files, I haven't tried yet because I don't know if its safe to put your folder in place of mine, hoping someone can confirm if it is or isn't.

i tried and it doesn't work for me.
the problem with my phone is when i paste my efs folder to the root of the phone. when if reset or reboot my phone my the permission change.
the redata.bin files permission change from "rw-rw-r--" to "rw-r--r--"
i can manually change the permission back to rw-rw-r-- but when i reboot the phone it keep changing back to rw-r--r-- no matter what.
i try to do a fix permission but it won't lets me

I'll see if one of my friends can let me borrow their S3 so u can I try it on theirs.. It should be.... What you can do is back up your current EFS folder on your External and replace it with mine and see if it works... The phone boots up with the EFS deleted completely so it should be no problem putting another working EFS folder in there.... Just saying... But your welcome bro no problem..
My BEAST!!

Liquid you did take your other EFS folder out completely right? It didn't just make a other like efs1 or something like that?
Just a thought if it worked for anyone let me know if it didn't ill take it down.. It worked for me flawlessly but it might be limited to its own devise... So if more do test keep us in the loop... Thanks

Look, aside from my reservations that you might be doing something malicious, even if your intentions are good what you're suggesting is based on what you THINK, and all data posted on the subject so far says that you're wrong. I'm talking about data from experienced users and devs that have worked on this issue specifically for weeks/months.
Maybe you're a good guy who just isn't that wise, but the only thing people could do that would be fairly safe (barring any permanent loss of their own IMEI that could happen) would be to copy their OWN IMEI, and test things with that.
There are too many risks both to you and the person who uses your IMEI.

Your probably right I'm just trying to share what worked for me.... I'm not malicious I'm just trying to help.

Guys,
What Ingen said is true you can use this method and back up your own IMEI so if you ever loose it just put the EFS file back in and you'll be good.... I apologize if my IMEI did not work for the ones who lost it...... Thanks again guys....

clockwork mod...1970?

anyone know a workaround for this? the bad thign about it is I often will flash multiple roms/have different backups and forget which one is which...which is the most recent etc. Why does it date as 1970 even though my clock and everything is fine? Would manually setting the clock (vs from the network) resolve this issue?

I started using rom manager to initiate backups. The date comes out correct if you do that.

I haven't been able to find a version of CWM that doesn't do this for this phone. All I've been doing is just renaming the backup once it's complete, usually just to something like CM10_BACKUP_NOV16 or STOCK_BACKUP_NOV16. Can be renamed from your phone's file manager.

As he said, you must initiate the backup in ROM Manager in order to have the correct date, or a custom name for your backup.

Be cautious of spaces in your file name. Use hyphens or periods rather than spaces.

There is a tool somewhere which will regenerate the MD5 sum after you rename the folder. Maybe someone else, or a search, could point you in the right direction.
It might have been Rom Toolbox in the market by JRummy

I was using twrp 2.2 for a while and some roms had problems flashing, especially ones with graphical installers like Ariel. I updated to the latest clockwork mod recovery and things have been fine ever since. twrp updated since then so the issues might be resolved but I haven't seen any reason to switch back. I am a linux admin don't need a touch based interface on my recovery environment.

This is BETTER than a workaround:
Online Nandroid Backup
WHY?
- dates are correct
- no need to boot into recovery mode to perform backup
- fast and organized, and easy to rename backups
- it's under good steady development for new FEATURES.
- auto updating of script
(There is a script and a gui dev...make sure to thank them both)
(You don't need CWM to create backup, but you do need CWM to restore)

Date issue comes from device issue
According to the TWRP2 page for the AT&T GS3,
Date/time in recovery will always be wrong due to a device issue that cannot be fixed.

I assume that this is what is effecting my CWM backup names. Sounds like some to just live with and workaround....

Any backup apps since Titanium is not working?

Titanium backup doesn't seem to work on this tab (or maybe on 4.3 yet) They updated it but that didn't do it. Anyways now that roms are rolling out I would like to be able to flash without losing stuff Any suggestions of an alternative app for now?

I was able to restore fine, but when I go to backup everything and then try to copy that fold to my computer it does not work. I can copy anything and everything else off of to tab to my computer but not the Titanium Backup folder..

Make sure TiBu is closed when you don't that.
Also, copy rather than move...

I also had problems with Titanium Backup but it turned out to be problems with permissions even though I gave it full permission. When I loaded up the SuperSU, it said it needed a binary update, and after I did that the problem disappeared. See if you also need an update (it required a reboot).

mine works with no issues on stock 4.3 rooted

The only thing that seems to not stick for me is breaking an apps market link

Well I just backed up just the data in twrp then just restored after I flashed the new ROM. Seems to work great. Better than messing around with tb

Rom Toolbox Pro works fine for backups

As user "gahsan" said, try updating SuperSu binary. Worked for me.

Anyone have trouble uploading to Google Drive? I always get a network error. It worked fine downloading the backup I had but it won't upload. Tried removing Drive and readding but it didn't work.

The easiest way to do this is by closing TB and then go in your file explorer (i use ES file explorer) and rename TB folder. I usually add an S in the end and when i copy them back, i remove the S. The reason is that TB backup files are being used by app in tablet rather than USB storage. Thus they can not be read.
Also you can freeze TB from Settings.
Then connect your tab via usb and copy it.
I hope that is easier !
