Hello dr Ketan,

i love your work and i use tweaks pro. i used the fullscreen gesture function. now I can't undo it anymore. Long press to deactivate and then restart unfortunately does not help.

Do you have any idea ? I didn't want to reset everything.

If you set from settings, it may not work correctly with third party launcher for example like Nova Launcher. (No idea if that have been fixed later)

Hello I hope someone can help. I have Ketan v4 with TweakPro. I keep Always On Display on all the time. However after a little while it keeps disabling and I need to manually enable it. Does anybody know why? Thank you!

I use use both, no issues. I use moderate volume boost & viper4android 2.7.1.6
Nice. Do you have any issues during loudspeaker calls, do people hear you without echo?

How much louder and better is the sound for music and etc?

I'm on the verge of amping up my sound but I'm concerned as I have had issues with loudspeaker calls on my last 2 phones, note 5 and S9+.

That's what I'm thinking but I can't figure out what! Either that or a tweak or csc setting. And no I didn't install good luck.
Troubleshooting time buddy... It seems you have to experiment and try to narrow it down.

Maybe try and install a working version of good lock which doesn't have limitations based on your region. In there you can find some pretty good AOD's, and at least in my case they always stick and never stop working.

It's complex thing. Answer depends on why you want to restore and your current setup.
Routinely, we do needs boot,recovery,super,optics and data
Now suppose you have messed up something in system, restoring super is fine. In case you have something weird in data (usually happens while you playing with lot setting/third party user app etc and got messed up) - Here restoring data is fine.
In case you want to move on previous version of ROM, restore everything, boot,recovery,super,data,optics + Bootloader and modem of previous ROM. Here again a catch, sometimes, samsung blocks downgrading BL and Modem, in that case you can't move.
So, backup Boot,Recovery,Optics,super,Data and restore according your needs.

Ok, I'm pretty sure I'm in deep trouble. Since I was @ R5, I tried to dirty flash to R6.
Flashed super.img, R6 file, flashed CP, BL & AP. Nice reboot, reboot, reboot and reboot.... looped.
Can't enter TWRP, keeps running in bootloop... long time between the reboots.

MD5 checked: okay.

Can't switch off the phone, it keeps booting....

Somehow got into TWRP and now doing a clean install and following all the steps in the guide, clean install B (because the super.img file was still on it)... same issue. Reboot after reboot..... etc

And getting back to stock hangs in Odin too, keeps hanging at the <ID:0/004> super.img flash part....

Thanks for the help. I still can't suss it. I've checked through all ROM settings, and no luck. I can't install goodlock, it says unavailable in my region. I've never used it. And it seems to be quite a recent problem but can't figure out what's causing it at all. Every few hours, AOD disables itself, and I like it all the time, it's maddening. 😔😔
 
I am not sure if this is the right place to ask, but since I am using dr ketans roms for a long time and never encountered this, I will try. I am trying to do a backup via TitaniumBackup and I simply can't copy the folder with files. Seems permission related, I tried some suggestions like chmod 755 via twrp, but it doesn't do the trick. If I copy something into the folder, I can copy those files out, but the files that are made my TitaniumBackup on the device, I can't. It just says "something went wrong"
I've had the same issue some time ago. I'll leave the link to my post with the solution https://xdaforums.com/t/solved-cant-copy-titanium-backup-files-to-pc.4257023/

    Installation and Download & Notes


    Important :


    - This will void warranty.
    - As of now you will lose Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass forever if you root once, even unrooting won't help. (hope in future we can get it working on tripped knox device)
    - OTA won't work once you root device.
    - ROM Tool permission : Files & media - To save and read files, Calendar - Tool needs some time monitoring to avoid using RT immediately after reboot. Special access for accessibility service - Since Android 12 it requires for QS panel custom Toggl e.g. Reboot to recovery

    Installation :


    Read ChangeLog post for Installation instructions (link on post #3)

    PS : Who can handle consequences of dirty flashing, they never need to ask this question in forum. If you dirty install then handle it yourself .




    Download : Link removed as project hold off. It will be live if we decide to re-open thread. Thank you for support.

    Here some my thoughts and explanation about TWRP backup and restore

    Firstly brief explanation about what does partition contains.
    • Boot : It is Kernel
    • Recovery : It is Recovery
    • super : That contains odm,product,system and vendor partitoin all togather.
    • optics : CSC files (where we routinely making changes for csc features) and network settings depending on your carrier
    • prism : carrier related apps and other stuff . In odin when you flash CSC*_ or Home_CSC* these two optics and prism gets flashed.
    • data : That is all your installed app and made changes in settings

    Now what to backup/restore?
    • boot - Helps if something messed up with magisk or waht to restore kernel after flashing custom.
    • recovery - usually it doesn't require but if you flash some other recovery(TWRP) and you want to restore one in backup, that helps
    • super : As stated above these is main system, if something you have messed up in system/vendor (usually with flashing something, or erasing something) you can restore by super.img.
    • optics and prism : as explained above are CSC files, Rather than restoring it, I prefer to flash HOME_CSC*.tar.md5 to make csc compartment clean. So to backup or not not much important.
    • data : This very sensible part. I prefer to make data backup when there is no samsung a/c or Lockscreen protection there. Also don't restore it cross version of ROM. Also some common mistakes user making is, He/She clen install ROM and then restore data partiton of previous ROM. This is worst then even dirty installing ROM, never do it. It is just false sense of satisfaction that you made a clean install. According me, data partiton backup best to be made just after complete clean install ROM and setting up device without adding any account and lockscreen protection. So when you restore this backup, you will have a device just like you recently completed clean install and save your time to setup initial wizard
    Backup Application,Call logs,Contacts,SMS etc

    Titanium backup was ruling for decade for these but since A11 it's not trust worthy and on A12 almost useless.
    Swift Backup is now my choice (Some other like Migrate, App dash (by RD XDA dev flar2) also alternatives)
    For contacts : I do prefer google sync. Just adding google ac everything will be restore on it's own, provided you are saving contacts in google. In case you want to make off line backup of contact, there is a built in utility in phone. Contact - settings - export - This will create a file. Similarly browse same file while you want to import contacts. Catch in this is your contact image will not retain size and it just backup thumbnail picture.
    Only one utilility I have found that makes offline contact backup without distoring image quality is My Phone Explore client (needs on both PC and Phone). Also this utility is best for wireless file manager.

    Schheduled backup - A must needed utility.

    I always prefer clean installation (Factory reset withot wiping media files) and really it takes less than 30 minutes to setup everything.
    If you enable schedule backup utility in your Backup app (e.g Swift backup have this) and make some profile like
    1.Backup - new app at X time then it will auto backup all app that you have new installed at given time
    2.Backup updated app at x time - This will make backup of any app that you have updated in store will backup at given time
    3.Any app which get data changes frequently and you needs data changes like whatsapp then create a profile favorite app - add whatsapp in favorite and schedule it to make backup daily at given time.

    with these your device always remain ready to clean install anytime instead of last moment backup or some urgent clean install needed.

    Also Folder Sync is good utility if you needs duplicate copy of files from Internal storage with scheduled operation.

    Hope this may helpful and answer lots of queries for many.
