I got a nandroid backup of my original at&t stock image. It contains two *.img files each exactly 10mb. I want to extract the ringtones out of this att stock. I used root explorer and renamed the img files to *.img but it still doesnt work. Anybody knows how to extract the img files or where to get the att original ringtones?
Look in the lh9 zip, using 7zip, in system/media/audio/ringtones.
If you know the names of the ringtones you want, dl and try zedge. They have a lot of them.

Nandroid Browser doesn't see my backup from TWRP. Lots of similar comments on the Market.

Thanks! I downloaded the app from play. it finds the nandroid files, but when I open either boot or recovery, it shows the loading circle and turns and turns and turns and never finishes. I have several nandroid backups and tried this app on several ones but it is not able to open either of them.

unfortunately this feature is not available in the free version of Titanium backup and you have to pay for it.

well, not everything is free on Android, you have to pay for the good stuff.
There should be an easier way.
Does anybody where u can find the original AT&T ROM in zip format? Or how/where to get the ringtones?

Here you go. Use 7zip or winrar to unzip and manually move them to /system/media/audio/ringtones. This is NOT a flashable .zip.

No, what M.E. is trying to tell you is whatever theme that you have downloaded. And only want the dialer to install. Open the zip with 7zip or whatever program you use, delete all apk's in the zip except for dialertapactivity.apk and phone.apk. Don't delete anything else other than apk's not wanted. Exit the program and copy the zip to your SDcard and flash with CWM.
I have multiple .zips that I flash for inverted gapps and I was wondering was there anyway I could combine them into one flashable .zip file so I don't have to flash each one individually. I suspect it would take more than just putting all the .zips into one .zip, right?
Also, I'm on a mac. I can access a windows computer if necessary but it would be nice to do it all from my mac

Not really, no. Just unzip all your files, organize them all together ignoring duplicates, then re-zip.

When I unzip each .zip I get the folder that contains the data, META-INF and system folders inside. Where do I go from there? Do I compress all the separate folders into one .zip? I've never done this before so sorry for the seemingly obvious questions!
If they are all just apps from the system folder, simply take every apk out of each zip and place them in the system folder of one of the zips (using 7-zip) then flash it.

I was thinking that but I was also wondering if the other files inside contributed to each individual apps theming of some sort. But thanks for the tip! I will try that on my next ROM flash

The meta-inf folder tells it where to install and sets the proper permissions.

Ah, thank you for clarifying
So, would it be possible to, in addition to customizing which apps load on flashing the "re-zipped" ROM, also add a kernel to be flashed along with the ROM all in one flash? Or would the kernel need to be baked into the from?

In theory this would be possible, but it would be more complicated then flagging a few system apps.
I was wondering if you can change your nandriod back up name "IE" in es file explorer. my current back up file name is 1970-01-03.01.51.11, es file lets you change the file name, will that effect the nandroid in any way. it would be easyer to remember, stock, cm9, cm10, blue,ect.

thanks, I have always used rom manager to install roms and updates but never to back up, i usually just go into CW. ill try it. I recently had to use RM to flash CM 5.8.4.9. the CW that was installed in my root did not give the option to back up and restore????

Yeah, nandroids are huge on S3 don't matter what recovery you have. That if you use TouchWiz roms. AOSP roms are like Evo nands.
Sent from my O=O
I always check the use compression setting in twrp. It has always worked for me and my first backup was about 1.2gb. I didn't have to many apps installed yet at that point though. I'm not sure how much space it actually saves but it should help.
I have an odd problem,
I create a nandroid backup of my S3 on touchwiz. I want to restore it to check my LTE speeds on it but for some reason I cant seem to get that done.
When I place it in the folder /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/touchwiz (called the folder of the backup touchwiz)
doesnt show up in restore.
I just create a new restore to try and find where it reads it from and cant seem to find those when I go searching on phone in USB mode.
What am I doing wrong here?

Yes, it can be done. You can unzip tar.gz archives on Linux natively or on WinRAR. After that, its only a matter of finding the apk you want and extracting it to the system.
Data can be done the same way if you know where an apps associated files are.

Easiest way is to use Titanium backup, it have option to restore application from nandroid backup, you can select application you want to restore.
Even no need to eatract, TB will do job.
Open TB - Menu - Extract from Nandroid backup.

Yes, that would be beneficial if you only wanted to restore the apps. Many of the ROM devs use the method I mentioned to get a perfect dump of the stock ROM and then work on it.
Who knows, OP maybe getting into developing. And using TB is just having an extra app on the phone.

You'd need to redo any backups because they are not interchangeable between the two recoveries.

If you need more space, you can copy your older backups to the Laptop / PC ? Then delete them off the Device / SD Card. That way you still have a copy of you need it. I always keep one in Cloud Storage just in case.

Go on the play store and look for an app called DiskUsage it should be able to look through your phone and tell you whats using up your space. Used it before and was pretty helpful

To make a zip, select your files/folders click on more and compress. To set up drop box you have to go to network/cloud and choose drop box. Set up your account, and you'll then have the option to share files...
