System App Backup - Vibrant General

Hey guys I rooted my phone and started to remove all the bloatware and useless apps but I forgot to make a backup just in case, is it possible to use someone else backup, and if so can someone please send me theirs!
Thank you.

Do you need them, really?
If you are rooted, and you have installed Rom Manager and its recovery... you should be able to flash the nandroid backup posted in the android development section. That will take you back to stock (and keep root).

ah no i wasnt aware of that, this is my first android phone. Thanks. But no i dont have Rom Manager installed.

^ awesome man. I would encourage you to read the sticky "tips and tricks" at the top that I have been working on. I would particularly like your feedback and see if it helps you (since you are my target audience).
I address Rom Manager in it. Please let me know what you think, or if I can help after you read it. Welcome to Android. You will love it.

ROM Question

Like the title says.... its a question about ROMs...
I have the EviL.HeRo ROM 2.7(x). Well, my question is can I have more then one ROM on my SDCard? or do I have to remove one ROM to put in another?
EDIT: Which is the newest version of EviL.HeRo? Is it 2.9.5x?
... another question
How do I install ROM's? The only reason I knew how to install the EviL.HeRo ROM was because a video guide helped me. I just don't get the whole coding process. Can someone explain?
Which HERO ROM is the best? is it EviL.HeRo?
EDIT: When I installed my first ROM, all my applications got deleted? Is this normal? and does this happen every time you install a new one?
BTW, thanks for helping me out. I know I'm a "n00b!".

Like the title says, this belongs in Q&A
If you want to have more than 1 ROM update.zip on your phone you will need to flash either Amon_RAs RAv1.2.1 recovery or cyanogens 1.4 that will let you flash a ROM without renaming it to update.zip
Newest version of EViL Hero? Check the thread.
There are SO MANY instructions about how to install a ROM. There is even an entire wiki that explains all of this stuff. You really need to do a search and look around a bit.
Read this: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking
If you get lost, ask a question in the Q&A forum...not the dev forum. The dev forum is for DEVELOPMENT. There is a sticky at the top of the forum that explains this.
Applications will be deleted iff you wipe before flashing. This is required most of the time. Check out MyBackup Pro.
It is fine that you are new to this, but ask in the right place and do your due diligence. Google and forum search was invented for a reason.
Ok, sorry about that, and thank you.

Guide to load custom roms and perform nandroid backup?

I'm sorry but I have searched for that last 20 minutes in the Hero CDMA thread.. I can't seem to find a thread that explains what a recovery image is or how to even load it.. I came from windows mobile and it was pretty simple to load a rom, I'm hoping it's the same thing for android.
What I need:
if you guys can explain or link me to the following, it would be greatly appreciated:
Explanation on recovery images on how to load them
How to perform a back up
thank you guys...
I'm sorry, please delete this thread.. found what I was looking for.
It's always nice of you to tell someone else where you found it in case they come searching along and need it too.

Stock ROM removal

i want to find all things in the stock 2.1.1.A.0.6 ROM that are to remove if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated this includes System .apks as well
these .apks are to be removed to free up any space if anyone is wondering, i thought this would be of help to some people who want to get the most free memory they can in their X8
I'm sorry, but I guess you should more specific in your question.
First of all, try to edit the thread title, to be something clearer. Just "help?" doesn't mean anything accurate.
Then explain your request in a detailed way.
What are you trying to do? Why do you want to remove the "things" in the stock ROM?
here it is http://www.market4android.com/stock-android-2-1-apps-list hope it helps.
if it is dont forget to ..... ^_^
thanks but there are also some sony ericsson .spks that must be safe to remove too thank's very much for the above link though

Radio's and SLPL

Hi, the title says it all, i just want to know what a radio & a SLPL is? Yes i'm a n00b, and there i have no shame in calling myself that becuase everyone starts from somewhere. Looking forward to learning, so hopefully someone can help me.
I've made this thread because i'm looking to put the 'Ginger Yoshi' rom on the HTC Magic, and it says you will need the new radio,and some SLPL? Also how do you put these on the phone, & where you download it from? Thanks

Welcome to XDA forums! I'm just a fellow member, but I still want to welcome you here
First, do you know if you have a 32A or 32B device? You have posted that you have a Desire S - do you have both that and Magic? Be sure to read everything you can about rooting and Android in general before trying to install new software on it. You see, I managed to brick my Magic without learning enough before action!
Secondly, CyanogenMod Wiki is a great resource for checking out what all these things mean. See it here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Terminology
For example, answers to your question:
SPL
Second Program Loader, in conjunction with the IPL comprise a device's bootloader. Aside from bootstrapping Android, the bootloader also fulfills various diagnostic functions. One of these functions is the manipulation of data in the device's internal flash ram. Depending on the SPL installed, the user might be able to flash signed NBH files, flash nand images, and more. Note that the SPL is installed and operates independently of the Android build that runs atop it. Generally speaking, there are two variants of the SPL: Stock, which is 'locked' and is installed on most devices from the factory, and Engineering, which is 'unlocked' and has to be manually flashed - usually after 'rooting'.

Radio
The cellular radio on the device which needs control software called firmware to control it.

That's an AWESOME price! I bought mine for £150 last summer!
But to the point - have you gotten any useful information out of the CM wiki? XDA Wiki has great articles, too, but it isn't as fulfilling. With ambition and good resources, you'll learn what you need fast and possibly in a week or a few days you can be able to take care of ROM flashing, customizing your phone a lot more deeply than changing a few settings, getting full access (that people should always have) to your phone's all capabilities and even using it as a WiFi box!
Oh, and if you find anything here on the forums useful or good, press the thanks button. You have 5 clicks a day for it. That's a good way to show the poster appreciation so they can see their work worthful
You've got to take into account it's 2 years old now, plus i got it used of ebay ;( - Oh and CyanogenMod have stopped supporting it.
SO do you think it's worth £37, or should i just say no, or sell it off when it comes? I'm confused at the moment, because CyanogenMod have stopped supporting it so i don't know what to do, and also don't know if it's worth the money i paid for it.

I think all your answers may well be here:

Once you've got past root and recovery, you then can change spl/radio according to your desired rom.

IMO it very well is. A good device with decent hardware, especially for the price.
They've stopped supporting it only OFFICIALLY, but there are still many development working on it for Magic, and there are a few good ROMs - like Ginger Yoshi, Carz12's CyanogenMod 7.1 and of course SebastianFM's HTC Sense ROM.
Read, read, read. Mdacompactuser posted a good link
Cheers everyone. Hopefully we can all think that's it a 'mission' & work together on this . Right i've learnt that i can root the phoen via superoneclick, and get the superuser access. Ok next i was going to do everything via rom manager, however now that option is basically gone for me, as CM are not supporting it, but i can flash the recovery from there. I have chosen clockwork recovery, so flashing it via rom manager should be good. I'll have a look at the link you sent me, and hopefully we can regenerate interest in this device again, and make it gain popularity, so we can be on the official forum boards, instead of the low activity devices. That's the plan, everyone up for it? xD>

If you look in this forum alone, you'll find everything you need to carry out a rom update. As Kanttii pointed out its crucial you know what your phone is before you do anything. I'd stick to guides found on this forum as opposed to ones found elsewhere on the web, simply because the people who wrote the guides on here are more likely to respond to specific queries you may have.
I have to say I found mumilovers posts very complete and useful, so personally I'd start here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756918
and then go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824435
Obviously there are other methods, but like I said before, a guide is much better when the author is around to help when you get something wrong or something doesn't make sense to you.
Thanks the phone will probably come today through the post, so i'll read the threads you sent me links to, and hopefully i'll be able to understand most of it . Thanks again .
Wow i managed to also root my phone without bricking it, and installed clockwork mod recovery. I downloaded set cpu, but i'm on default android 2.2 so i can't overclock it. Now i'm confused about how to put a custom rom on it.
EDIT: Right now i'm a bit scared to install custom rom on it, but i got a question:
In rom manager, when i go to the download section, i see a rom called Roalex, is that a good one?
The top one on that is called: COS-DS-071822011_I1? SO if i click install on that will it be a good one?

Questions - Look Here First

So now that we have our own Q&A forums, you guys should:

request for Sticky thread about Backup and Restore
Hi
Can you make a sticky thread about a step by step guide to backup and restore the existing phone data and software(and everything else, so that anyone can comeback to present position anytime) before trying anything new.
I am a newbie and recently bricked one of my phones by trying a update(and still searching for proper firmware to restore it). I know that searching may yield some result but if there is a sticky thread, it will be helpful for people like me. I know there are stock roms available but nothing beats getting the good old phone back as it is with a feeling that nothing happened.
PS. I have installed CWM and tried the backup option there.However while backing up data it showed " failed to mount /data partition(backed up boot image and other things, but where I do not know(may be on SD card, but cannot find)). My phone is rooted and on original firmware (working perfectly). Samsung kies has a frequent crashing problem on winXP. So dared not use it.

If the backup was completed you can see a folder named
Clockworkmod.
You can find your nandroid backup inside backup..

It contains 3 files
recovery.img
boot.img
system.rfs.tar
It said during backup that could not mount /data. Will it affect in anyway during restoration? Will I get back my contacts, pictures and games? I like to try the jellybin firmware available here but also want to comeback to my present position if I do not like it. Is this backup sufficient for complete restoration or I have to do something else ?

I don't think that the backup will work..
Generally the backup has 4 files
Nandroid.md5
System.rfs.tar
Cache.rfs.tar
And
Data.rfs.tar
By the way if you want the stock roms nandroid backup (without data ie. Factory resetted) I can provide you the links..
Kernel is not included.
Hit thanks if I helped you.
Would there be a possibility of having a Jellyblast custiom ROM with Merruk kernel?
I am currently enjoying my Jelllyblast V3. I read that we could overclock the unit. The thing is I have read most posts here but I am having difficulty understanding it. Most instructions are to techinical for me. I am hoping that the next Jellyblast custom ROM will have an option of either having a Kuro or Merruk kernel. But if there is a much simpler way of installing Merruk, I would like to know.
Thanks!

Will it help to restore me to everything like a new one (except the data) purchased fresh from market? Then please provide the link. BTW, I am using CWM Ver 5.0.2.6. Are you sure that the above four files will be produced ? I have taken the back ups twice with same set of files available.The data partition could not be mounted in both the cases.

my phone works fine unless I insert the memory card.then after a few minutes it freezes and reboots without powering off. Then it restarts, freezes and again shuts down.removing the card fixes it but then I can't use my apps songs and videos on my memory card. That card worked fine for almost a year (I didn't test it on some other Android device but it works on non Android devices)
My Recent Activity
a few days ago I decided to deodex my phone using a flashable I found somewhere...it all was working fine except for a few FCs and sometimes it froze but after some time it would get back to normal.then I installed a few apps like undelete and ROM toolbox pro.I changed the boot animation too. So once I was using opera mini web browser and my phone froze and turned off in the same way I mentioned earlier... I tried clearing dalvik cache and the cache partition in recovery mode but to no avail.I also removed a few apps I suspected may have been the cause but that too didn't work.
I hope the experts here help me out with the issue soon.
