hi to everyone i m kinda new to these things but i have a question and maybe is stupid:
when passing to one rom to another is possibile to restore backupped data like sms/apps etc.. ?
thank you to anyone who is willing to help
Hopefully you're using ROM Manager and Clockwork Recovery to change ROMs, etc.
If so, in there, you can back up a ROM before applying a new one.
If you restore your previous backup, your apps, homescreens, settings, should also be restored.

yes i use those apps but for example if i load cyanogen and try to load a backup with rom manager all i get is that my phone get rolled back with old rom, my point is to have the new rom but with the old data
Personaly i use "MyBackup" to backup system settings, apps, call log, bookmarks, alarms, dictionary, calendar etc., and "SMS Backup & Restore" for messages (it does MUCH better this job then "MyBackup"). Both apps are for free on the Market.
Ok so I installed jts super cleaner from Rom Manager and it deleted a few programs and widgets that I wanted to keep, is there any way for me to get them back? I tried restoring my phone but I get the android.process.acore error every few seconds.
Thanks for the help.
EDIT: It also has deleted all of my contacts.

Sure, re-flash the ROM, and you can start over.
Also, when you say "Restore" your phone, did you mean you restored a Nandroid backup that you made before you flashed the new ROM, or do you mean you reset your phone to factory settings?
If it's the latter, then that's what happened to your contacts.
Sorry, no I ment I did a restore in Rom Manager.

Try running "Fix Permissions" from ROM Manager first. If that doesn't work, I'd try wiping data and starting over.
Make sure you make a Titanium and/or MyBackup Pro backup before you wipe!
You can add apps that were removed via the stock system dump or the deodexed DI01 zip that is in the development forum. Frost added it a while back. I have added:
Allshare.apk
vsuiteapp.apk - voice commands for bluetooth
thinkdroid.apk - office suite on the stock rom
Some apps dont have a .odex file so you can just add them to your /system/apps folder. You don't install them, just move them into the app folder.
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.

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.

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.

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
Hi
I am currently SB jb 4.2.2 but wanted to migrate to SB jb 4.3. Does any one know a way how to backup the sound profiles like default/home/night there in settings>>General>>Profile & than restore it back?

If you have Titanium Backup, I'm pretty sure that backing up Settings Storage and Settings, from the system apps, will backup those profiles. I use it to backup/restore my settings, and it restores everything, from the Quick Tiles Settings to my sound/display settings, and even Developer Options, so I don't see why it wouldn't restore the sound profiles.
I'd just be careful when restoring settings that are from a different ROM, if anything changes between ROMs regarding the system part, you might ruin things, so have a backup handy. I never restore settings when coming from a different ROM, but considering you're only migrating from 4.2.2 to 4.3 on SB, it might work.
