This is a little tool / GUI to help those who aren't sure how to backup the /efs folder.
My reason for making this little app is that I almost weekly read about people who are complaining about the IMEI is gone, etc. and haven't read
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068193
This is an awesome guide which the app is based on. It doesn't do more that run the commands via a button click. I just thought it would help someone with a GUI.
I have tested it like a gazillion times without problems. It backup the efs folder and places it in sdcard/efs/
If you encounter any problems, please let me know.
Root and busybox required!
Just to make it clear:
*** I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE - INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK ***
A big thanks to:
Rawat - for the guide
Wanam - for the WanamLite ROM this is tested on
gokhanmoral - For SiyahKernel
Hope it will help someone

You're very much welcome! As ithehappy wrote there isn't that much difference between Clean and RAW although I recommend to do both, just to be sure.
Clean mode will gz-zip your efs folder and place it into /sdcard/efs/ (folder is created if it doesn't exist) and RAW mode will make an .img of mmcblk0p1 which is placed in /dev/block/ and also place that into /sdcard/efs/
Hey thanks for the awesome work,

Well... that "text notification" on the lock screen is Missed It! from the Market. The user is using that in conjunction with Widget Locker. For mClock, make sure you are extracting the .zip file and then only placing that folder in the mClock folder in /sdcard/mClock/FolderName. (i.e., not the zip, just the extracted contents).
thank you very much !!!

Download attached .rar. It contains "LiveWallpapers.apk" and "LiveWallpapersPicker.apk" from Kyrillos ROM v5. (I assume you deleted them with TitaniumBackup or something like that) Put them into system/app oder try to install it with a file manager. Im not sure if you need to be rooted.

Thanks man!! Someone told me drivers were forehere in somewhere but I could not find them! Hope it works! :good::good::good:
Not really sure where to put this but found this earlier and thought some of you may enjoy this.
Simply extract files and move them to the appropriate directory located at "system/media/audio/" using Root Explorer or your favorite file manager and reboot.
Note: For UI Sounds you may need to rename if you want to use them as a Touchwiz Sound...haven't really messed with that yet.
Enjoy!

It would go in Themes and Apps
Moved it for you
Good sounds, I might use them to replace some of the Samsung sounds. For some reason I thought these were pulled from a samsung rom. Lack of sleep..... Lol.

Thanks buddy... I was going to post it there first, but since it was neither a theme nor an app I didn't want to get flamed!

But it certainly is a component of themeing to add sounds as much as adding wallpaper would be to backgrounds.
SORRY wrong post.
Read-only file system error
Thanks a lot! I've been looking for these directions for a while.
However, when I tried I get an error that reads: "/system/media/audio/soundfile.ogg(1): open failed: EROFS (Read-only file system)".
Is there anyway around this? Thanks for your help in advance.
do i need to root my phone for this???
Thank you, I just added these to my Google Pixel as the default system sounds are pretty dire.
Anyone know where I can get all the Nexus 5X or 6P system sounds? (Or maybe someone with root would be so kind as to upload them).
Thanks again.
Thanx dear...
Nice! Thanks for sharing
Nexus 5 had some good sounds, glad i can equip my new phone with some good ol tunes
!!!
GOD BLESS YOU MAN !!!:angel:
Thank you so much. I've been looking for this all over the internet

Baseband
Hello friends, it is extracted from the new FW last baseband with the number 51, and create it as a Flash file? It would have helped me if it could jit.Extract file does not exist? Thank you.

MyXperia
I installed the ROM and was amazed - it works perfectly.

Cannot add Google Account to Contacts
Hello guys, I have a very strange problem...
I can add a Google account on first startup after installing this ROM, setup sync, everything seems to be fine, some apps start to update...thats all good...Gmail works, Google Play works... But, when I start contacts app or go to contacts from dialer, I can see no contacts there, and there is only option to add a Exchange account, but not Google account... Filters are set correctly... It is really strange and I have never seen anything like this before... I even tried a third party contacts app from Google Play, but the options were the same... My previous ROM was AOKP, I installed stock 108 ROM using Flashtool, then rooted, then flashed Recovery, then installed this, with of course full wipe and everything. Didnt find any other issue, everything is fast, smooth, and working fine... Except I cannot call to anyone because I dont have any numbers...
Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you!
Contacts again!
Ok, so it took one night without sleep, but I seem to find the reason... First a question: What exactly is, or more specifically is NOT in the ROM if I choose to remove bloatware during the instalation? Because, if I choose not to remove it, contacts work... If I choose to remove it, contacts just won't work. Again, any clarification from someone who can explain this is welcome...
Thank you!

of course, because in the debloating script there are two entries:
googlecontactssyncadapter.apk
googlecalendarsyncadapter.apk
Debloat your ROM with the script, reboot, put both attached apk´s into /system/app folder, set permission to rw-r-r and reboot.

Thank you for the info, I'm just curious, why are these two apk files removed by the script? They look pretty useful to me...? Also is there any other surprise to look for if I choose to debloat the ROM? Right now I am running "bloated" version, and so far I am happy with it, so I am not sure if its worth it... What is the main advantage? (yea, I know - "if you have no idea what it does, then you probably don't need it")
There doesn't seem to be a big difference in internal storage space either...
Thanks again
RW to system?
I tried to install debloated ROM and then copy the two apk files to system/app, but I wasnt able to get write permission, despite having root access. Digging up some info, I found out that some kernels might be locked to write to system folder despite being rooted. Can this be the case? In any case, I probably wont be poking my nose into that again, but I just would like to know for future. Thank you!
EDIT: Nevermind, found this, which makes remount possible...
