how's battery? *typical xda question after you just flashed a new kernel lol*

Can't tell you now, it's barely been an hour

 

[triptych32]

anyway, interesting fact i got from my credit card bank...apparently Google tried verify my credit card by making 200 yen transactions and then voiding them on my first order on 10 Nov. My orders were rejected despite this.

I did not receive any order receipt email on my first order though. I just reordered and got the emails this time. And yeah, the 200 yen transaction records were there as well.

Hope i get lucky this time.

Did anyone received Order receipt at first & then Google cancelled the order?
If no, means we still got chances to those in Pending?

That's exactly what I got. Pending doesn't mean anything.

Anyone who ordered using tenso received ur GST payment notice yet? I received mine on monday. Still haven't receive anything.

hi bros, to date I have used SCB and Citibank credit card for purchase over JP Playstore via tenso. both instances purchase was cancelled by playstore.

my current (and final attempt) is UOB... 1 day passed..have not shipped out.. my guess is history repeats... haiz...

Why don't you just create another JP account?

yah I think you can create new a/c if the 3rd time also failed.

[v9.20] Online Nandroid / Nandroid Backup without re-booting [CWM + TWRP + 4EXT] - xda-developers

Use this, not only can you make a cwm/twrp nandroid backup and flash the backup via those recoveries, it backs up even more stuff than usual, including efs and more. Now you dont have to reboot to recovery to do a nandroid, just do it while the phone is "online" hence the name o-nandroid!

 

[moozmoow]

yup by autoprime.
bo guide leh, i do 1 for your now

1. flash efsbackup.zip in your CWM
2. don't quit CWM yet, go back to flash zip from SDcard, and enter SDCARD, take note of the directory the new EFS-BACKUP folder is, and go inside. Take note of the new efsbackupflashable.zip name also
3. restart your N5 back into Android
4. Connect N5 to your PC
5. go to command prompt, from there, type "cd C:\<directory to your ADB/SDK tools>\sdk\platform-tools\", without the ""
6. type adb pull <insert directory from step 2>, eg adb pull /sdcard/EFS-backup/efsbackupflashable.zip
7. the efsbackupflashable.zip should appear inside the platform-tools folder, copy it out to somewhere that you will not lose it

think mariofan1998 way might be easier? I do it this way because i'm used to it :/ fuss-free for me coz don't need to download other stuff
