I was just wondering if there is a a way to back up my phones current launcher settings so when I do a full wipe to a new ROM I can EASILY get my phone back to normal without having to reinstall all apps. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Im running on rooted Epic Experience 1.2.04, mixup kernal(not newest update), and Emotionless Beast theme.

Make a nandroid backup. Flash the new rom. Goto advance restore in CWM and flash data

I believe they are talking about booting into CWM and there is an option to make a backup. So flash your rom and then restore with your backup.
yup, "nandroid" backup is the backup option within clockwork recovery, its a full backup of your phone. flash a new rom, then boot to clockwork and do backup and restore > advanced > select your backup > restore data. voila
Thanks for the replies. I wish I had realized this 2 months ago when I started flashing ROMS, I could've had an extra 20hrs to my life.lol I always backup thru clockwork, just never checked under advanced restore.

Can someone tell me if an android backup is the same as an android backup ? What is the difference ?

dont think there is a difference. a nandroid backup is a complete image of your file system at the time of backup. essentially a complete copy of your phone's state. its done in clockwork/bootstrap recovery
+1 for racinwarrior
and i think you made a typo in your op.
Thanks 4 your help it looks like you clarified that for me. Oh ya I did eff up on my spelling. Ment to say nandroid back up and android back up. okay so I have bootstrap recovery and have done a backup. so does this mean if my phone is messed up I can revert back to that date I did the backup and my phone should be okay ? And do I need to do a complete wipe data of my phone ? thanks for everyones help

Yeah, i always wipe system, data, cache when i'm restoring a back up just to be on the safe side as a nandroid will literally restore your phone to the condition it was in when you backed it up

This. ROM Manager is useless and its CWM versions will hose your phone. Do not use either.

Chances are that when you backed up with Rom manager it did not actually do a backup. On a phone where Rom manager does work the backup function in Rom manager just reboots your phone into clockwork and starts the backup automatically for you. Since Rom manager does not work with the epic, I'm assuming this did not happen.

The alternative is that one you have clockwork installed, power down the phone. Then hold volume down, camera button, and power button all at the same time. It d should boot into clockwork. Make and restore your backups from there.

First would like to say hello to all XDA members.
I have a rooted Dinc. I deleted a few bloat apps. Before that I did a backup thru recovery (backup & restore) menu. If I restore will that restore all apps?
I would like to unroot and restore as to be ready for a OTA update. How will I get my DINC back to OEM?
Any help is greatly appreciated

Yes, restoring your backup would restore whatever apps you had at the time of the backup. However I really wouldn't be to worried about getting the ota considering it likely wont start coming out for another few months.

Hey people,
Yea, I just flashed a new ROM and I couldnt remember the apps I used to have. Is there any way I could find out and recover the game saves?
Thanks.

If you downloaded them thru Market then you can goto http://market.android.com and you'll see a list under my account. If you used a non-wipe ROM the data will still be there and unless the apps don't wipe the data themselves you'll be able to access it.
It's a full wipe ROM, I do have a CWM backup. Is there anything I could do with it?

What game is it? Many save game data on the sdcard which isn't included on cwm backups so either you will still have the savedata on your sdcard or it's already gone forever.. otherwise use wunyaffs to unpack your nandroid backup and search through it
I installed the game and it at first stages.
So, I've restored the backup and hope to use titanium backup to backup the games and apps.
Then, flash LeoMar's ROM and then restore through titanium backup.
Is there anything wrong that I could be possibly doing?
