[Q] backup size is 5545911mb - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hello everyone when I try to do a backup using twrp 2.5.0.2 the data shows its going to back up around 5545911mb so obviously it won't let me backup because I only have a 32gb sdcard I'm running infamous ge rom. Anybody have any ideas why this is.

That should be KB not MB, which would mean it's about 5.5GB

I remember a post some time ago about someone's backup being insanely large, something like 60GB or so. I can't remember where exactly to find the post or the solution, but I do remember that it was resolved. Do a little digging either here in Q&A or the General forum; it should be there. I do know it was in the T-Mobile forum, so that hopefully narrows it down... but if it's ~5GB as se1000 believes you mean; that's an above average size (for me anyway) but not outside the realistic bounds of a TouchWiz backup.

Hey guys I just double checked and its definetly mb. Not sure why but I will keep digging into the forum n try to find the similar thread.

Bumping your thread isnt going to make a reply come quicker, you do realize people read more than just the first page of threads?
But anyhow, the answer is no. "Hold back to kill" is a ROM specific tweak. It is hard coded into android source code by CyanogenMod. I have however had an idea for "hold back to kill" app where the app listens for a Hold search broadcast, then kills the foreground app. But until someone makes something like that. The only way to get Hold back to kill is by flashing a CM ROM.
wow i do appreciate your answer. it's nice to see someone adding a littke A to the Q that actually has knowledge on what i was speaking about. nobody else answered because they mostly had no idea what i was talking about. and not to start an argument but I've takin your bumps not needed approach for the few years ive been here and im not exaggerating when i tell you there were many that floated to a back page to sit forever. most peoples idea is that the further back the post is either there is no answer or its an answer there prolly not going to have the answer for since nobody else has by that point. but trust me i see your angle. thanks for your reply and im gonna keep researching on this because I'm almost positive it can be added, it's just how much work is going to be involved and can i do it lol. thanks
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
It can be added. Ive got it on my list of mods that i want to get around to adding here. Its a mod that requires decompiling a couple of apk/jar files and editing the code. It is one of the few that haven't been added to any of our stock roms so ill probably bump it up the list a bit. We shall see.

I dont think thats possible. Its a ROM source code tweak. As in the source code is changed. So far ive only heard of CM and MIUI Roms having this. Just google it, im sure if it was possible someone would have already done it. I mean it requires editing the complete layout of the settings window. Unless you just change a jar file to listen for the hold back and then have it kill it.
But if you know how to do it, can you share what files need to be edited? Ive seen this question pop up almost everywhere and even ROM devs say its only possible via kitchen. But hey you learn something new every day
I could swear ive seen it ported to other stock roms such as sense and tw. Been a few months since i last looked into it though. Gotta go to work so ill try to find the info for you later today.

It may have been ported. But they may have used a kitchen. Like I've seen stock ROMs have it but I've never seen a ROM without it get it added without cooking a new ROM. But I'll be hitting refresh awaiting the information! ^-^ thanks!

Unknown member - providing modems?

Currently, we have Wild and Doc doing most (all?) the modem pulls. People get busy with real life, and sometimes cannot be around to pull new modems as they are released.
I am pulling them as well (have I5 now before posted on board), and can upload them somewhere for people, but was not sure about public reception since I only have 20 posts. If you want to see some of my other work, you can Google me. You can also wait until Doc uploads his version then verify that the MD5 on his modem.bin matches mine (updater-script will not match).
I've made a script to pull modems, and can share that as well, if people want. Be advised that my prepackaged modems do not create a modem.backup file. Instead, I've created a directly flashable UVLEM zip file in it's place, as I feel this is a better solution.
Go ahead and post if people don't want to flash they won't but I prolly will

Why are you all over his threads acting upset that he created an extremely helpful/informative post to help the rest of us? If it's because you were working on a similar thread then you should have posted it sooner. Simple as that.

You can not but just a warning you people will probably be mad you made this thread. We have had an influx of jb related threads that if people had just searched the forums they would find the answer. Just do a little research next time before creating a thread :thumbup:

And, next time, if you can't find the answer and have a question use the question forum.
When you post questions in the general section it just clutters the threads.

As long as you have root and are on zvb, you can download freegee from the market, the new version unlocks the bootloader and removes LG security and installs a custom recovery. Well worth the 1 $.
