Easy Tutorial Recover Deleted Files On Internal Memory

You have accidentally deleted all your data in internal memory because of a wipe when you want to install a new custom rom? or maybe because there were not told befire that unlocking the bootloader is the same as done a format? and you don't know how to restore the file that have been formatted?

Don't worry, you can still recover deleted files from internal memory by following the step below that i will expalin

THEORETICAL PART

(if your goal is just to recover data, you can skip the explanation)

The internal memory is not mounted as any other external memories. The latter, in fact, allow the user to use the software to scan and recover deleted files. The procedure is quite similar with all files in most operating systems. There are two types of formatting: the full and rapid.

The full version is to clear all the bits (i.e., turn all the bits from 1 to 0). In our case, if we find ourselves with a terminal with 16 GB of memory, do the full format would be equal to having to transfer a file from 16 GB, because it would require the same time to transform the bits from 0 to 1.

The quick format instead, going to delete the file table, which is typically a table that exists in almost all file system. This table (usually located at the beginning of memory) occupies a small part of the memory and consists of a series of pointers that point to addresses where the files reside. These pointers will also describe the file name, size, owner, date, permissions, etc. Logical therefore, that becomes erasing this fraction of memory that specifies where files are allocated, it will be impossible to find them and are unreadable, although present in that No bit has been deleted. Being the wipe, the formatting and the factory reset very fast, it goes without saying that formatting is used. However, things by reading all the bits you can reconstruct files, although it will result in loss of file names and characteristics. To date, much of the mounted file systems are recoverable, except for devices with internal memory as MTP/PTP, which are those that affect us. Then i will explain how to transform (or transfer) that the file system so that it can be read and recovered.

How to recover deleted files on internal memory

PRACTICAL PART

Requirements

• Make sure that your device has the permissions of root;
• Make sure you have BusyBox installed on your device. If you don't have it installed (or if it is not present in your custom rom), you can download it below:
• download BusyBox
• USB Debugging enabled in your device;
• ADB installed;
• Recuva installed, or any other recovery Tool(to install it, go to that link and click right on get latest version

1. Now after you have prepared all the requirements, lets start the recovery process
2. Download Cygwin from this link and proceed with installation as follows: next-> select Install from Internet and then forward-> make sure that the Root directory is C:\cygwin and select next-> next-> next-> select a mirror (I selected ftp://lug.mtu.edu that it seemed the fastest, but others are fine), click on next-> there you will see a list of categories look for nc and select NET, click skip and place the mark on bin?the line about nc, as in the image. Do the same thing for pv, as in the image below. Click ' next ', it will take several minutes to download all-> click Finish.
   
   
3. We take adb.exe and AdbWinApi.dll AdbWinUsbApi.dll, and copiamoli in C:\cygwin\bin;
4. Download VHD Tool from this siteby clicking on VhdTool.exe
5. VhdTool.exe and for goodness sake, we always in C:\cygwin\bin path ;
6. Create in a new folder called C:\Cygwin nexus;
7. Connect your phone and make sure that is working in ADB;
8. Open Cygwin (Terminal) and assume that BusyBox is installed in /system/xbin/busybox . In some cases you may have to /system/bin/busybox. Type:
   adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:5555adb shell su (il vostro dispositivo potrebbe richiedervi i permessi di root ora)/system/xbin/busybox nc -l -p 5555 -e /system/xbin/busybox dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12
9. Then open a new Cygwin Terminal and write:
   adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:5555cd /nexus nc 127.0.0.1 5555 | pv -i 0.5 > mmcblk0p12.raw
10. Expect a thing like ... several hours (to extract 8 GB of data I took ben 4 hours time!) until you'll find in your nexus one raw file
11. After unpacking, we can close the first and continue on the shell that works in /nexus write:
    VhdTool.exe /convert mmcblk0p12.raw
    
12. Now go to start, right click on Computer and select Manage-> Storage -> disk management (local) and Action menu select Attach VHD File, click on browse, and we feed our raw file located at C:\cygwin\nexus (be sure to display all files, as in the picture)
    
    
    
13. Click with the right mouse button on the name (as "disk 1") to the left than the non-alloccato and select initialize disk; then select GPT (GUID Partition Table) and then OK. (if you find it close and go back in the disk management, you will automatically ask if you want to put GTP or not). If there are Windows that ask you to format, rejected.
    
14. Right click on the memory alloccata and select "New simple volume", we proceed forward, making sure not to format the volume.
    
15. The fact that we should have a new drive under my Computer (not open it because there's chiederebe format); back in the computer Management, right click in the rectangle and select RAW Formats, ensuring that the file system is FAT32, you bet the Quick format check box and the allocation unit size is "default", as in the image below.
16. Recuva wizard, start we want to retrieve Other (bottom)-> check at a specific location and select the letter of the book assembled previously-> put the mark on Activate in-depth scan.
17. Wait. retrieving the files are not things that happen very fas. then to the next
18. After the scan, we'll have a series of files that we want to recover, select the button "recover ..." and we configure a destination where recovered files will be saved. If the error will appear "path exceeded maximum length", make sure that the file names are not too long, or try to rename them.

Done. Have you had any particular problems on the instruction of restore deleted files on internal memory ? For other questions please refer to the official thread at xda, or ask the question on the comment area below since the guide was tested by us personally and found working. I hope this However, some files are fetched only in part, but is always better than not having them at all.

How To Improve LG Nexus 4 Camera Quality

Although not officially in Italy, the Google LG Nexus 4 does talk a lot about itself even as far as for the modding development. It certainly won't have the same camera of his brother LG Optimus G, but having a Nexus 4 is very likely that we could do something to improve the quality of video recording. So at this post i will share some a good tips for improve Google Nexus 4 Camera.

It has recently been found a xml file that would increase the video framerate, which will make the records more fluid but heavier at the same time for what will be its size in memory.

1. Download an app to browse files (like root explorer or es file explorer, that file is free) you can download it from google play.
2. Head in the /system/etc folder;
3. Make sure the directory is mounted as writable (RW);
4. Look for the media_profiles.xml file and open it with a text-file editor (es file explorer has one built-in);
5. Once opened, you should find yourself with this text:
   quality EncoderProfile < = "1080p" fileFormat = "mp4" duration = "30" >
   < Video codec = "h264" bitRate = 12000000 " width = "1920" height = "1080" frameRate = "30"/>< Audio codec = "aac" bitRate = "96000" sampleRate = "48000" channels = "1"/>
6. Change the bitRate from 12000000 to 20000000 (2 followed by 7 zeroes);
7. Save and reboot.
8. With this, you should have a 20 Mbit encoding which is definitely better than one of 12Mbit.

If you do not want to take part in this operation, there is however an application should perform a similar work, which you can download it directly from google play.

Alcatel should present two new Android smartphones, one of which is ultra-thin at Ascend's P2.

Chrome For Android Finally Get Password Synchronization Update

One of the shortcomings of Google Chrome for Android is that of password synchronization with the Desktop version of the browser. This feature, however, it appears that will be missing again for a short time as Google would in his plans the introduction of password synchronization in the upcoming release of Google Chrome Beta for Android.

It must be said that, nor on Android nor on iOS, Google Chrome has this feature, of course, Android users would be the first to receive. In this way, if we input a password on our Desktop Chrome browser and require it, it would trigger at that moment that would sync password information even on Chrome for mobile.

This new google chrome for android feature should be available for Android through Chrome Beta starting from the month of February and should come on stable version within browser not long, of course subject to contingencies. Most likely Chrome for Android will become more and more a surrogate of the desktop version and over time the two browsers will become totally identical, hopefully even in terms of performance.

We hope that Google operates a new development as code optimization in Android stock rom browser.  And we all know that many android users still currently preferred over Chrome broswser as the best browser in terms of fluidity.

SF Launcher: Inspired From Google Now Reinvents For Android Phone

A new launcher for Android arrives on Play Store which is still in Alpha version. We're talking about SF Launcher, whose interface is derived entirely from Google Now with homescreen that present themselves to tabs. At the present time, being an application still in Alpha version, not many customizations that the new launcher allows, but the developer ensures that in future updates will implement new features.

For now SF Launcher Feature allows you to customize homescreen 2 only organized as follows: the Central home comes with a space provided for a single widget and another space for inserting quick start applications; the home of the right, however, comes with the app drawer that I personally feel very good, with all the icons that are vertical scrolling through sogliate.

SF Launcher: Google Now re-invents the home of Android

The left home, instead, is not part of customizing the launcher but contains the settings the same. Surely this is a very good launcher based on the concept that it is based on the interface of Google Now, and because of this, it is unlike any other Android Launcher.

SF Launcher now already provides a good alternative to the default launcher on their Android devices and, if you want to install the full version which adds even more features than the free, you can buy it at a price of €1,48.

Recall that SF Launcher is compatible with all Android devices with OS version since version 4.0. After a few minutes of use notice that to improve in the near future there are scroll animations between the pages of home, still a bit slow though fluid.
According to you this launcher will evolve as things unfold Google Now? We'll see! If you decide to try it, be sure to express your opinions about it.

How to Fix apps installation error from Playstore Market

Often it happens that the Android market make us confused and begins to give strange errors when you try to install or upgrade applications. Today I will explain how to resolve the following error: "unable to install the USB or the SD card" or alternatively in another words: "couldn't install on USB storage or SD card".

After carefully analyzing the logs showed that the error is caused by the following file: smdl2tmp1. asec. This is a temporary file that is created during the installation, and which is used by the system when you try to install or update applications inside the SD card.

Read also how to increase your internal memory : How to create Link2sd

To fix app installation error on this problem , simply delete the file located in the following folders (not necessarily both):

1. /sdcard/.android_secure this is a folder whose access is denied, but you can easily access it through your computer or via file manager (Astro or Root Explorer)
2. /mnt/secure/asec/ it is a system folder, then to unsubscribe within files you will necessarily need the root on your device.
   What is Root? The Root rights are nothing more than allowed by the superuser, in the Unix world the Root user is the one who owns all the administrator of your system, so it can launch applications (ranging to touch system files), Browse and Edit freely all files present in File System.

Delete this file is an almost safe operation, because as mentioned above it is a temporary file created and used only during the installation of apps on SD card.

Alternatively, you can find the detailed list of examples within s voice on the menu button > settings > help.For those who have still not Samsung Galaxy S3, there the list short and at the end of a collection of all the examples as screenshots.

How To Use S voice
The principle is always the same, to configure it presses the microphone button below or you activate the Samsung Galaxy S3 voice control by the saying of "Hello Galaxy". If this command not like you, this can be adapted: menu button > settings > help > S voice alarm command > change now.

From here, the wild fun begins and you can dictate your requests. For my feeling, it works overall pretty neat with recognition when you speak at an appropriate volume. This is possible in a quiet room alone at home as a whisper, in busier areas, one must be also very clear.

I felt flexible the detection of commands as a right. The time of rigid command pattern, you had to keep 1 to 1 is over. Whether you now short and crisp says "Timer a minute" or "Do please a timer on a minute" is up to you. The bottom line will appear and you can confirm, change or cancel. When the timer or alarm clock a time also serves as link in the corresponding app. So not quite matches or you want to configure your alarm even down to the last detail, this is not a big problem.

It also works with questions to the address book. Show contact invites you to the appropriate contact and you could open it on request. What has surprised me very positively, is that properly identify by name. All participants (more than 200) are created with full name and surnames in my address book. The recognition is very good and also the right people will be found, despite partly identical name or surname. Here, the benefits of voice control is exhausting but also my opinion. If you have many contacts with multiple email I can find the correct entry addresses and various numbers out of habit to date even faster by hand unlike the voice control.

S voice: change voice of the Samsung Galaxy S 3

When the sound manner of your Galaxy s 3 to you says you don't like, then you have to accept so. Settings > language and input > text to speech > Sasmsung TTS (set point) > gear > Samsung TTS settings > General settings > language effects. The Available options are:

• Normal
• Deep voice
• High voice
• Weak voice
• Strong voice
• Robot voice
• Helium gas effect

Should really each time be yourself in the 6th. By the way is the system-wide speech, in this sense, have fun with Google Maps Navigation.

S voice: What works and now works

The two screenshots show my two previous defeats in connection with S voice. The first was an attempt to start a conversation that does not fit the prefabricated commands and this went straight to the pants. Where I am sure that we will find a few nice Biegsame here with time.

The second image shows an error that unfortunately more than ever has occurred. Apparently I was properly understood, but the command was incorrectly evaluated and the timer is set to zero. We hope on a software update which closes this gap. Since all requests need to eh about the vlingoserver, this could be solved possibly even server-side, without an update on the S3 itself.

S voice app commands
Outside s voice even more voice commands available are for the Samsung Galaxy S 3, if it has enabled this because. A look into the appropriate menu and further: settings > language and input > app voice commands (a slider and click on text for more options).

• Incoming calls, accept or reject
• Stop the alarm or to repeat
• Camera trigger
• Control music playback: next, previous, volume up, volume down
• Radio: change channel, volume up, volume down

The screenshot shows the details.

My personal favorite is clearly the camera control, because thus I can beautifully capture the device and must not fall on the display. A separate camera button would have also solved this problem, but it is nice but too made.

For me, these features show that it takes probably more than a few days to fully exploit a Samsung Galaxy S3. Here, there is potential to make our lives easier is certainly for many of us. While switching off the alarm you should reconsider yet again if you get accustomed to first off, I see bad come. ;)

I find it very convenient that you can activate each function separately or turn off. Listen for incoming commands will need also electricity and thus I can decide for myself what I really need.

Conclusion
It not all gold that glitters, and I don't see me in my everyday life always yet, how I give spoken commands to my phone. Especially that dictate messages in public is not an option for me. It will not be probably also large dictation in the car, because the background noise is too fast and too big in my small car. If a time has made the whole of you over a Bluetooth headset, like to share in the comments the experience.

Nevertheless the whole making produced on s voice commands after first reservations and just the voice commands are outside s voice certainly good to integrate if you start to think about it. Otherwise, for the first, there are the small commands that you have done to me. Pizza in the open, double click "Timer to 20 minutes" and is good. :)

Samsung Has Launched The Galaxy S4 Secretly In CES 2013 ?

In a recent report that we could learn that Samsung would have presented at CES 2013 its new flagship smartphone, is the Galaxy S4. The presentation should take place behind closed doors in secret with the mere presence of those few people invited to the event press. In this regard, there are new rumors that we cannot confirm the 100% but that would disclose any interesting news about the new smartphone.

Firstly, there was the much rumored closed door presentation of the galaxy s4, a smartphone that mention working perfectly with no problems whatsoever and with software aboard a TouchWiz UI heavily customized. The Samsung Galaxy S4, always according to the latest reports, would be very similar to your smartphone with YOUM display presented by the company during the CES 2013, with a curvature of the display located on the sides which would arise as an extension of the whole user interface. The same curvature would be present on Galaxy S4. If you don't know read first what is YOUM Display

In this way it would be possible to display in horizontal text messages and icons in the side of the smartphone, characterized by curving outwards. Thanks to this it will also be possible to see text messages scroll on the side of the display without unblocking of all your smartphone to view them.

Details don't seem to be received even though we're pretty sure that the device will have a 5 inch display with Full HD resolution. The will that expressed by Samsung at the event just ended is to want to equip new YOUM display on Samsung Galaxy series devices in the near future, which now looks really close.

Ultimately we remind you that all this information is to be taken with some caution because we cannot have full assurance of the reality of things. We leave you with a question to which we hope will answer many: according to you it would be useful to a display like that on a smartphone or you think YOUM displays should be used only for the creation of new types of devices as accessories or anything?

Samsung Introduces Youm Display and The Green LCD In CES 2013

It's for a very long time that Samsung is make discussion about themselves not only as regards its Android Device but also as regards the flexibility of OLED display. Finally at CES 2013 Samsung officially presents the new generation of flexible display called Youm display and also a new display type called Green LCD.

What is Youm Display

The flexibility from Youm display are realized with OLED technology, so basically they're like AMOLED display collapsible.

Their use, although now may not be fully understood, is varied. In fact we think for example to devices like the Galaxy 2 Notes, is very large, buwith this new display type can get smaller because of the display can be folded on itself. This should reduce considerably the dimensions, all to the advantage of portability.

Below we have listed the images and the first video of the first Samsung smartphone with the new display Youm, whose use is not yet clear when there will be and at what price, although we can imagine that devices with this kind of display will be quite expensive.

The Green LCDdisplay are not displays will find employment in smartphone field but in the tablet. It's power-saving screens that are able to consume 25% less than what we have today, all in favour of greater autonomy on your device.

Conclusion

In conclusion, although it is not certain, we can speculate that the Galaxy S4 will use Youm display and we dream it can be equipped with an Exynos 5 octa core like that presented a few hours ago.

Samsung Exynos 5 eight core processor | CES 2013

The new generation of hardware for the mobile never ceases to amaze, in this article we will discuss about new eight core processor it is exynos 5 Octa. These days, at the CES in Las Vegas, all major manufacturers are showing new products they intend to introduce for this year: first, with the new NVIDIA Tegra 4 and its amazing performance; Qualcomm with the new Snapdragon; last date is Samsung, which presents the new Exynos 5 Octa. As the name suggests, it is eight-core processors.

Actually there are eight core processor as we used to think: as in Tegra 3 and 4 there is a fifth, called core from NVIDIA "companion core", so in the new Octa 5 Exynos there are eight core for high performance and energy-saving core. The 4 core Cortex-A15 operating at 1.8 GHz, designed to address situations where serves brute power, are in fact joined 4 core Cortex-A7 with 1.2 GHz frequency which allow you to handle situations that require relatively little computing power and that it is imperative to saving.

The procedures are similar to those already seen on Tegra, with Cortex-A5 and A7 which operate until you start an application that requires a lot of resources (e.g. games), when you start the 4 core Cortex-A15 poking into her own hands. All eight cores are manufactured to 28nm and exploit the technology of big ARM ".LITTLE ". Icing on the cake is the use of a new GPU(kinds of android GPU), as announced by Samsung, can double the performance by lowering the consumption of 70%.

Exynos 5 With 8 Core Processor

There are no news about smartphone or tablet that can use this chip, but certainly over the coming months we will see the first devices that take this fruit of high technology.
