All setting (such as Txt, phone numbers Scenes) Between Roms - Hero CDMA General

I am really sorry, I look like the annoying new guy.
I have read and read and read, I have rooted, I have tried roms, I am having a BLAST, but I can't find this ONE answer. I am positive it is here too, I am just not searching right.
How do I keep or transfer all me setting, txts, and stuff like that between roms? I am sure there is some sort of backup/restore option, but what is it?
I am sorry, and thanks in advanced for who ever took the time to help.

Titanium Backup. The donate version is WELL worth it.

try titanium backup in market, also Astro is good for saving apps....

Thanks so much.
I just see so many roms here, I have been trying them all, but all my settings are in my original software, so I usually play for a while, and nandroid back to original.
But some of these are so good, I want to stay there. Haha.
Thanks again!

A really annoying problem for frequent ROM flashers

every time i do a hardreset i have to renter my username and password for Social Networks(youtube, facebook), skymarket, myphone i have looked but i cant find where its stored. Does anyone know the answer to this problem. Thanks
I would be worried less about that and more about having to reload all of your apps, your favorite websites and general settings that you make to make the phone "yours"

Is This true.....?

So I've been hearing a lot of talk about a spanish dev that dropped a rom on these forums that is faster than Super D, FastTEst, Cyan, all the eclairs and Stock roms,.....basically, top of the line and untouchable.
wow....
It is referred to as "SuperCSDIV4" anyone heard of it?
Haven't flashed myself yet, thought I'd get a few more opinions before doing so,
is this true?
Just installed this and did a titanium restore and excuse the language but Holy **** this rom flies!!!
I never thought i'd see the day a rom could get me off SuperD but well all I can say is 'Super who?'
Supsetup is an amazing feature here and has full swap/swappiness controls that work. Compcache is available through spare parts (currently not working) not that either are required. When you first start there is a lot of spanish things such as the widgets an has a spanish metamorph but titanium restore took care of that, even restoring my apn settings for me. the speed of the app draw is scary and somehow advanced launcher is built into the home itself. Also this has NO ramhack on it so 3d gaming is fast and furious if your into that. going to install beholdII 3D cube as well to see how it runs as it was slow and sluggish on SuperD and will update when I have more news.
All I can say is welcome to the future of the G1!
SuperD just lost its crown!

OMG.....Gotta flash this right away, thank you shadowch31
Everything seems to be working but the keyboard ALT symbols are different
on the keyboard, bluetooth, wifi, 3g, messaging, everything really! No force closures or problems, sometimes can stutter a little going to home but other than that this thing really is amazing. Had me up all night playing on it. I feel if compcache was working this would solve the stutter problem but still playing with settings.
Will update more as I play.
Okay fixed the keyboard layout, wasn't to hard to figure out and now have full UK qwerty keyboard with the correct ALT character set, anyone needs it I'll post a tutorial.
Also Fix_Permissions is a MUST! I was having a few issuse installing third party apps at first but this is now working thanks to the script.
I've found it best to keep home apps out of memory (spare parts) still working on the compcache problem but hoping to have that fixed soon.

I didn't I just restored a titanium backup
You could just enter the settings manually, easy to do.
which version did u install? the first one 1.3? because the newer one dont seem to have supsetup and might not be as fast but the older one there was a bunch of issues including sms

I managed to sign in with google from the wifi at the library, but Google talk wouldn't sign in, so everything I downloaded from market was just at a pause....back home now, adb pushed a copy of Titanium back to phone since market wouldn't let me download, now restoring all apps and data with batch proccess, but there is still no data signal???not even edge, after restoring all settings with Titanium and rebooting should that bring data back?
EDIT: by the way you're right, this rom is smoking fast! Twice as fast as super d, if I get the internet working, Im sticking with this rom for a while!
Alright! That did it.....whewww..thank goodness for Titanium backup!
Everything is in place, internet back, settings, and apps restored. now to enjoy the luxurious speed this rom has to offer

[Q] All messages GONE!!!

Hi,
What the hell, how is it even possible.. Just rght now, I was waiting for my messages to loead for a long time, because the message screen was white, and then I realised they are gone.. Wrote a new one and that is there, but how can they delete them selves..? Since I had a lot of important stuff and numbers there, is there any way to restore?
Thank you very much for any help..!
Alari
no way to restore. they are gone... happened to me one.
What about if you restore to the latest nandroid backup? All the messages you had at that point should be there. I know it's not a cure-all, but even if you lose a few you won't have lost EVERYTHING. Hope it helps. Good luck.
There are numerous threads that discuss this issue. It's happened to me once and many others as well.
As mentioned above, a nandroid backup is one solution. If you search for the other threads, I remember someone mentioning an application that backs up your SMS messages if you have important information that you don't want to lose stored there, doing daily backups is a solution.

I think you are referring to SMSbackup+. Its free and available in the market.
Sent telepathically from a Desire Z
Yeah, this has happened to me on several occasions. Really started to irritate me!!
Now I use MyBackupPro's schedule backup feature to backup my sms/mms'
Sucks how this is our only option, but I'll take it rather than using a non-rooted stock rom.

ROM Customization Program. Is it Possible?

Alright, while I was sitting in class today, I was thinking. Everyone has their own ideas on what they want in a ROM, but since there are too many people to make unique ROMs for, and not all of us know how to create a ROM. I thought, would a program that allows you to customize a ROM just for your phone be possible? Pick your phone, base ROM, (like a ROM made by a developer for your phone already), any tweaks, apps, settings, etc, that would allow you to create your perfect ROM? Just a thought.
EDIT: Or is there in fact something like this out there?

I was looking under non-HTC supported devices. The Milestone, which is what I have, is unconfirmed. Does that mean it may be not such a good idea to use that?
I doubt it will work. My apologies.

It said something about deleting the boot.img file. But thanks anyway. I'll give it a whirl.
Also! Everytime I restart my phone, it deletes Facebook synced data, like my contacts, so I have to go to Facebook, and switch Do Not Sync, in the Facebook settings, to Sync All, which is, So. Annoying. Any fix to this? Many ROMs do this, but I have used a few that don't.
Never used Facebook, its the root of all evil!
Lots of options in market. Just search "Facebook sync".
One example :

[Q] Zips Creamed Glacier v4.01

Hello All,
Just wanted to say that the new update is awesome. I was looking through the settings and I can seem to find option to change the wake button. Is there an option to change the wake button?
Love the new update Zip!
Eric
Don't flame him guys. He doesn't have enough posts to put this in Zips thread.
Glad you like the ROM, and welcome to the forum.
I'm about an hour out from being able to install it so I can't answer your question. I can, however, tell you that if you are wanting trackpad wake its not happening on ICS yet.
only option i saw is to set volume buttons to wake phone
Gmail Issue
I'm a newbie as well, and know this question probably fits better in the dev section, but don't have enough posts to put it there. I have been lurking on here for a while, learned a ton. I've been using Zip's 3.11 ROM for a while, no problems and loved it! I flashed the new 4.01 ROM and ever since have been having trouble with Gmail syncing. It seems my phone is not receiving push notifications. The only way I get any emails is if I manually press the sync button in the gmail app. Wondering if anyone else has this problem or know of anything I could try to fix it.
Thanks!

Have no problem with mine, automatically sync and notify me when I get new email. Maybe try reinstall Gmail again and clear data? Or better yet reflash the whole rom, fullwipe and everything before hand.
@op
The only wake button that u can use now is volume, home button and power button. Zips mentioned touchtap wake is coming, so just wait for it

Don't do this. Just remove your google account and add it again.
Also make sure gmail settings are default or set to your likings or w/e.

I already had wiped/reflashed and then flashed the gapps zip. That seems to fix the problem. I'm wondering if it had something to do with a system data file that I restored using Titanium Backup. I am not restoring any old system files this time.
@estallings15. I thought it might be something with ICS. Good to know. Thanks for the information and humoring a posting newbie. I've been following the forums for a while now. Most of my questions get asked by someone else.

another newbie question
...since I can't post in the dev forum either.
I was previously using Virtuous Affinity with Sense 3.5. I was using the default Messages app there and had a large store of messages. I don't delete often for some personal reasons. I tried to use Titanium backup to restore my messages storage which made the phone process die over and over on reboot.
I know if I had to get them, the raw data storage is in SQLite. I'm just wondering if there's a more reasonable way to get them imported into ICS (Zips CG)?
@playdrums Well here goes something as a newbie trying to help.
One possibility to restore your messages that I can think of would be to restore your previous rom and then download SMS Backup+ back up your messages with that, and then restore/reflash Zips CG and restore the messages with the same app which is included if you installed it with aroma. This will also leave a copy of your texts on your gmail account.

Thanks spork. I have a nandroid backup of my Virtuous Affinity setup. I may be able to do this. I'm liking Creamed Glacier but I do miss Sense a bit. And, don't laugh, seriously, I miss the genius button. Google Voice does not perform as well.
I have the genius button apk. Wonder if it would work on ICS?

I'm with you I also installed a few hours ago but am curious about what's going on when I pull up the thread to read it and it seems like it's having problems focusing and scrolling is a Lil slow, is that what's called ROM slowdown, and I also can't post in that thread so if anyone got ideas of what I got to do not only on the phone but also to be able to post in the thread. Someone in there was asking about Swype someone should tell them to Google the beta installer it works. Thanks all

I did. Sorry, should have mentioned that as well. I've decided to restore back to 3.11 and wait to see how things shape up with the next update. Currently on the job hunt and need my phone more stable than the 4.01+patch was giving me (Gmail not syncing and frequent reboots/locking up). Loving the work done on it so far though!
PS. I'm trying my best not to fit in to the typical noob stereotype haha.

Read a few comments above. Google Voice performs better under Sense ROMs. Zips Creamed Glacier is an awesome ROM, but I honestly just flashed back over to MIUI today for more stability.
EDIT: I forgot to include my point. If you want to use a more reliable version of Google Voice, you're better off staying away from ICS ROMs for now.
