Hey everyone,
Just recently I've switched over to the leaked 2.2 froyo and I bought the donate version for titanium backup. After installing all my apps over to 2.2 it was a pain in the ass to get all my icons and widgets back to where they were.
Is there an easier way to restore settings between roms and have the home screens be the same with some kind of restore?
For example if I backed up leaked froyo right now and tryed out pmf v2.0 I wouldn't want to restore some settings because of the fact that sense is removed and may cause some errors and force closes right? But if I did a full restore going from froyo > skyraider it would be smoother correct?
I just need some clarification of how to restore settings so that when I'm switching between roms there is an easier way rather than taking that extra 25-35 min to get everything back to where it was. Thanks.
Titanium backup allows for you to choose what you want to put back onto your phone. Since its 2.2 -> 2.2 then imo you really shouldn't have any major problems with most things.

Well, yeah I was using titanium backup for restoring all my applications however I didn't want to restore system apps/settings in case it would overwrite the newer and updated core apps to 2.2. How would I go about restoring homescreens and where I put all my icons with titanium backup?
If you use something like launcher pro, you can backup from within the program. Also, titanium backup will do the same. If using sense look for the green desktop item to back up.

Okay cool I'll look out for it, thanks.
both launchers, adw and laucherpro, have a save homescreen icons setting. It's really helpful. Just use titanium backup first...and then restore the launcher files..in that order good luck! Sense can only save scenes..but its too bad you cant save to sd card.

Yeah, see that's what I was looking for is a sense restore with scenes however I didn't want to restore like a sense 2.1 setting over a sense 2.2 setting and mess with any of that. Might use adw since it's pretty b.a.
I have been using Titanium Backup to un-install useless apps. But since upgrading to froyo, I have been unable to get rid of apps. I get an error saying "Failed to locate the apk file."
How can this be rectified? Is there another app which is better for use with Froyo?
because the structure in Froyo is different
you'll need a new version of Titanium backup that supports froyo
So it is safe to assume that is the reason my copilot is not working also? Looks like i will jave to downgrade until it is safe to come back
that's why i'm not upgrading to froyo yet.
there are many software that are Not Froyo ready/compatible
Co-Pilot is working fine for me after re-installing it.
Hi guys, I'm a stock rom user and I've getting bored of my current screen. It looks like stock rom has less themes. And after I've go thru the theme's topic in this forum, CM7 has really attracted me with it's beautiful theme. I would like to change to CM7 and I have few question to ask before I'd really change it =)
- I heard that CM has a bug of, showing all the contacts in numbers instead of name. Is this true? Or has it fixed? Can someone list me the bugs of CM?
- Is it available to use the market app that I'm using now? If i used Mybackup to backup my phone, after I have turn it into CM, can I download back the Mybackup and then restore my things?
- What are the other features can be found on CM7? Can it overclock too?
Please provide me other relavent infos that I need to know before I turning my wildfire into CM7.
Thanks a thousand
OK to answer your question about bugs. I'm on the RC1 and haven't found any! Everything works perfectly! If you find anything let them know and it might be fixed in a nightly.
Yes you can download mybackup and then restore all your apps! I use titanium backup as it has more features but mybackup works just as well.
Other features: Loads!!! Basically everything is configurable!
When you asked if it can overclock, all ROMS can be overclocked, however you must first install an overclock kernal like HCDR.Jacob 4.1 which I use.
Hope I've been of help, if you've now got any more questions stick them below!
Things to know about before changing is that you CAN'T get any HTC apps on it, and that's really it!
Also CM doesn't have an FM radio. Don't know if Jacob will add it in the future.
first of all, thanks to djdevine2 and imlgl for the reply. much appreciated =).
@djdevine2
what do you mean by "Things to know about before changing is that you CAN'T get any HTC apps on it, and that's really it!"? only HTC apps but on the apps on the market right? what is an example of HTC apps? Htc Sense?
titanium backups can backup contacts also? i dont mind about apps, the most important thing for me is my contacts. i couldnt afford to lose any of it.
what do you mean by RC1?
@imlgl
i see no radio huh. but what does that radio worked as? I think it's not referring to the FM AM broadcast radio right?
and yeah if anyone has the full thread of installing CM7 and all the relevent stuffs, please provide me also?
I can't wait to try it out already X).
thank you very much!

Yeah, you can't install HTC apps like the HTC Camera or the HTC FM radio or the sense launcher. No titanium backup doesn't do contacts but when I created contacts I created them on google so I just log in and they're downloaded straight away.
RC1 is the best version of CM7 at the moment in terms of things working.
Answering your question to @IMLGL by radio they mean the FM radio, it will NOT work in CM7 but you can download apps that let you stream it so it's not much of a problem!
Are you rooted? I can guide you to it if you need it or I can go straight to CM7!
I'm sure you'll like CM7!
CM7 is pretty good.

Ummm Titanium Backup does do contacts. And SMS, and Calendar, etc, but it probably wont work as its moving from HTC to AOSP ROM.
Cyanogenmod.com has a wiki that details the install process, and also their own forum.
I have found a few bugs, mostly minor though and safely ignored. One that comes to mind is that when trackball centre is assigned to screen-on, it sometimes does nothing. CM7 is freakin' awesome, and so fast. Gameboid runs full speed when holding down screen unlike other rom's. And gingerbread is such an improvement! I especially love the customization in the Notifications button widget... best access to music controls when in another app!
Edit: just do a nandroid backup before flashing a new ROM. If the new one doesn't work out, restore nandroid and no harm done

My nandroid bootlooped once, that was fun =D
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Could you elaborate on that? I.e. how you overcame it, and what you did wrong? It's not very nice trying to scare people for no reason. I have never had a nandroid restore cause a bootloop.
Hahaha i'm not trying to scare them, it just happened. I don't know why :S, after formatting my sd card, repartitioning it and putting everything back, it was all fine. it happened when i tried to upgrade wildpuzzle, LOL.
Well yes, you should always format the swap partition (if you have one) and also do a full wipe/factory reset to erase the .android_secure folder before restoring from a nandroid backup (all under Clockworkmod). Recovery is known to be quite buggy on the Wildfire, though it's mainly with the ADB server.
@djdevine2
hey there. couldnt install htc camera, but there are others camera apps on market right?
maybe you can list me a list of apps that i should get after i change to CM7 TONIGHT<< .
my phone is rooted! android 2.2 rooted. so how do i start now?
@jonusc
hey there. =). so titanium backup is out, and then does nandroid backup contacts too? i've used mybackup and it worked quite well. so if no other suitable backup apps i guess i will just stick to it?
@kevin2516
huh huh that will encounter errors too? how often does that happen on people who did the same thing like you?
It was a rare occurrence, only happened like once or twice. But it really doesn't bother me since i'm used to flashing and restoring apps with titanium backup only takes like 20-30min. (i don't have over 100 billion apps i want) ;D

I can't tell you what apps you'll like or find useful! But I like overclock widget for overclocking and LCD density is quite cool!
I have bought MyBackup Pro, I may try it. I had a problem with TB, I backed up everything in CM7 and reinstalled fresh, but it does not restore Widgets for ADWLauncher properly
Nandroid is very different to MyBackup/TB. It takes a complete 1:1 image of your phone. Yes it does do contacts, but you cannot restore those contacts individually - you use nandroid as a complete ROM restore. Before you edit your firmware, Nandroid is used as a backup incase you want to revert. It has no use for migrating across rom's, but is the best and only way for an exact entire backup.

actually i've found the best way to backup contacts!
just go into the phone/contacts there, press menu, export to sd card and thats done! done perfectly!
and for notes backup, i suggest you all to use OnePunchNotes. It can backup either automatically or manually, then restore it even with password. This is the best notes app that I've found so far.
for the apps i dont really care i can download it again =).
Im in CM7 now, the GUI is awesome!!!!!!! makes my phone so fresh
but just one problem, sometimes the apps will get force closed and hang, anyone knows why?
p/s: the kernal for overclock is same as stock rom? what what jacob?
Force close AND hang? They are both completely different things. Which one is it? I get no FC's, if you do try a permissions repair in ROM manager.
If you mean hanging, yes I get this too but only within first few minutes of booting up. Just press Wait and let it finish, pressing Close will make it take even longer to load. Remember that this is RC, it is still in testing stages, so there's nothing you can do except wait for a new version.
Yes, Jacob's HDCR kernel is already in CM7. It is probably best to stick with it too instead of flashing the generic one.
Under performance settings, using a 32mb heap and enabling JIT may help with hanging. Also, switching off dithering definitely helps reduce hanging. It also seems to make my emulators faster
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using Tapatalk
so means that i can directly install SetCPU into it right? I see.
And 1 more thing, the video keeps hang, do you know why? When i start play the video then after 3 secs it hanged =(
I don't know for sure cause I don't have a Wildfire myself, but in cm7 you can change the CPU speed in Settings - CyanogenMod settings - Performance - CPU settings
it force closed =(
I have stock EB01, and have removed or frozen most of the apps that came stock, but kept touchwiz, calendar, calculator, vcast song id, media player, file browser, weather clock, gallery, clock, email, write and go, task manager, and opera.
if I go to a superclean rom, can I successfully add all these back in? will there be much of a point installing a superclean rom if I am just going to add these things back in? and last but not least, if I keep all these apps and touchwiz, is there any other "fat" I can trim from the stock rom?
I ask because some have said not all apps will install right from a clean rom?
You can root it the way it is now and use root explorer to copy the apk's from /system/app and paste then to your sd card and put them back when you install your new rom.
You can also use titanium backup to save the apps and data you want and restore them when you flash your new rom.

That will work if the ROM he is on is deodexed. If not, the apps won't play nice with a deodexed ROM.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
like my post says, it's stock, de cluttered with titanium backup, nothing else.
how do I deodex it? what does this do?
titanium backup doesn't actually let me reinstall anything, not sure if it's titanium backup, or something else, but I'm starting to regret having payed for this stupid app, as it doesn't seem to work as advertised.
is there a better, free app that actually works?
Just to clarify, your phone IS rooted right? I can see Titanium not letting you uninstall stuff if it didn't have root access, but the first thing I did when I got the phone was root it so I have never tried to use it un-rooted.
if the phone wasn't rooted, how would I be running eb01? of coarse it's rooted. uninstalling isn't the issue, installing from backup is.

ok smartass... Then back up a few posts and realize that you did more than just root as you also had to install some rom to get EB01. What rom was it? Go to that source to make sure its deodexed.
If it is then you already have your answer in the first two replies.

non voodoo
My advice is to nandroid backup your current setup and then just try a superclean ROM with the apps that come with it, (maybe try a theme with custom apps as well,) then change out the things you still want to change (the list will shrink). If you don't like it or find you can't get an app to work that you need, just nandroid or flash back to your current setup.
SuperClean doesn't just remove stuff, it puts in better stuff in its place.

From what you are asking here I can tell you this... From SC2.8 you will be able to add back TouchWiz, Calendar, Media Player, Gallery, Email and Task Manager. There are a number of different clocks that are included, but I'm not sure which ones you specifically are looking for. Adrynaline has provided a number of "stock apps" that you can selectively download and install (I'm personally grateful that he included Daily Briefing). As of yet I have not seen any APK's for Write and Go. Also Opera is a separate install from the Market. It is not included in any stock distro from VZW or Samsung.
Just download Adrynaline's patches listed at the bottom of his latest SC2.x post. He has other things like Nuance and ThinkFree Office too.
Hope this helps.
Titanium backup installs the app when you restore it. I'm not sure what you mean by not working as advertised. Back-up an app that you got from the market place uninstall it. Go to the bottom of the app list in titanium it will show the app greyed out with a line through it. click the app hit restore and choose app and data. Its very simple.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
right, that only works for market apps I can get back very easily. when it comes to an app I might need to restore to get back OS or phone functionality, or that I can't get from the market, the restore button is greyed out.
If the restore button is greyed out, you never backed up said application. Data maybe, but not app.
Hi. I'm a big fan of SuperClean. I'm currently running SC 2.8 Voodoo with EB16. My battery life is just OK. Adrynalyne recommends to downgrade the modem to DL09. However, I like to tether. I'm wondering if the DL09 modem has the Verizon monitoring in it or not. Thanks for your help. I would post directly on the developer form, but I don't have enough posts
I'm running superclean 2.9 nonvoodoo. Superclean uses less ram than stock. My battery is excellent running for about a day & a half with moderate use
ok this might be a really stupid question/ theory but...
i just got this phone thanks to my lovely wife who gave it to me for Christmas i am noticing that the htc scene has seriously handicapped the ICS experience in comparison to any other ICS phone out there so the question is after i have rotted it can we just replace the default apps with the standard ICS apps ,dialer,Messages,people, and what ever other apps have been tweaked i would love to get the app drawer back
this phone has the kingdom recovery loaded and it has root access i guess the next logical course would be for me to find a decent rom for it
if anyone has any place for me to read point away or advice i would greatly appericate it
You could get a Cyanogenmod rom, make a back up of all the stock apps to your sdcard (apps like the dialer, contacts, etc.) and then find yourself a good ROM and reinstall those after deleting the ones built into the rom
You can also use Titanium Backup to integrate apps into the rom itself (and back up the apps in the part above) so that they are part of the system and not "user" apps
I think this is what you're trying to do

is there a virtual way of working with hte roms with out loading it on a phone i like the idea of loading the apps on the phone with Titanium Backup my hacking ability is less than as i am good at doing readme and fallowing directions

so were would i find said image then how would li go about extracting the apps has anyone done this
Get Ultimate Backup from the Play Store (the free version) and then open it and backup all the stock apps you want
Then restore your regular backup (or flash the ROM you want if you haven't yet) and get a file manager (like ASTRO)
In the file manager, go to your sdcard and look for a folder that says "App_Manager", thats where Ultimate Backup puts all the .apk's it makes
Then just go through and install all the stock apps (click on them and hit "install"), but before you do this make sure you UNINSTALL the equivalent apps in the ROM you're using (you can do this through Titanium Backup, just select each app you want to delete and hit the "batch uninstall" option)
apps
Okay just to make sure I have the straight
A mango backup my existing ROM with titanium backup which I I have already done so
And then I need to go find a ROM that does not have HTC sense 3.6 in it for my phone which does I have not had any luck in finding installed that ROM backup applications I want from that revert back to my semi-stock ROM mentions uninstall the stock sence And replace them with stock android 3.0.4 apps this it may be so much easier some it is an .apk for this
