since i was unable to find the proper answer to fix the problem the easy way
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793254
i had to go it the hard way
just went ahead and Wiped my phone.
it was less painful than i though it'll be, it was within the calculated parameters of the process involved to get your device up to speed in record time in a massive failure
so once the phone booted back into the OS, the very first thing i did was to setup APN
then sign in to my gmail account, BAM! got all my pictures, phones, contacts, calendars, etc, every thing back
then next task was to install AppsBrain, hit sync and BAM! i got my list of 400+ apps to install back
now i'm clicking through about 800 times install, okay, continue LOL :r
and i'm rather surprise Android Market, and the OS hasn't crapped out on me yet with the massive deluge of files action
it's install faster than i though... only 200+ apps to go
and about 15+ more email / IM accounts to join back into the system, and reconfiguring 400 apps
the Titanium Backup backed up files got wiped out in the process
at least i'm getting a good vibe out of this, it means the upgrade to Froyo will be just the same
the phone is HOT of all the 3.5G activity
the actual 3 button reboot to Recovery Mode + Wipe data and reboot back took less than a minute.
chances of missing a call during this time is quite low
SMS will be downloaded as soon as your phone goes back into OS, so chances of missing out on an important SMS is very unlikely
another interesting i noticed is that the File System is not choking up as it did before the Hard Reset.
before i couldn't get more than 4 apps downloading/installing concurrently in parallel
right now i'm doing around 10 at a time, and it doesn't slow down.
what gives?

Really? Maybe i should wipe my device to
Installing more than 3 apps at the same moment.... it´s just a pain...
exactly, normally when you try to download and install 4 apps simultaneously it gets sooooooo slow, worse than a snail
but for some odd reason right now that is not happening, it's smooth download and install, i wonder that's the difference
recommend you buy/install mybackup pro.. you can reinstall a bunch of apps without it prompting you for each one... i think if you pay for titanium backup it does the same..
i frequently copy the appmanager (diff app i use) and titanium backup directoryies from internal to external sd so i have have a backup in case of a full reset ..
i also set mybackup pro to backup directly to external sd.
yeah, that was my problem i forgot to move a copy of titanium backup from internal SD to external SD
otherwise i'd not have had to go thorugh 800+ clicks to say OK to everything
LOL
well... after aprox 250+ apps/games installed the phone is going back to its old self slooooooooow when you try to install 2 or more apps concurrently.
and the list of Manage Apps takes a while to load up
so it seems like the sweet spot is to keep less than 200 apps on the phone to keep it running silky smooth
Thanks for the report and the painless part, AllGamer.
May have to try it one of these days if I screw up.
After reading you post, I move the Titanium Backups to SDcard
just so I don't forget. Now have to remember to update it.
I can't even imagine how you have 800 apps on your phone. I just counted and I have 21, and to me that is a lot, but perfect.
not 800 it's 400 but for each install you need 2 click
so that's 800 clicks
Can you do a write up on step by step how to wipe and reinstall the (JH2) ROM, kernal, modem etc for i9000M?
I know I could use a program to back up my applications... but I am really against that kind of thing.
Every time I flash, which has become very often lately, I spend quite a bit of time getting the applications I really like from the market. I don't mind the download/install time, I just wonder if there would be some way to script this action so I could create a list of links or something to the applications, then just wait 10mins or so for them all to be downloaded and installed.

AppBrain market is what I use... it'll save a list of your applications then it will chain link it through the Market when you need to A) reinstall or B) update.
This looks like what I need, thanks.

Your against backups?
I believe in backing up things like contacts, only if they are stored in a very pure form free of errors... like how Android currently implements this with Gmail, it is great. I hated even getting the pim.vol file in Windows Mobile days, I know that within that file is tons of markup garbage, version-specific information, cached information, and even problems.
I do not like backing up programs at all. When I reformat a Windows install, it makes sense to not bring old programs over... they should be clean-installed from the latest version. I have translated this thinking over to my phone. The only benefit of a backup is saving time, eventually a problem will come of it I think.
So on my phone, I back up nothing. I flash the phone, it grabs the contacts and calendar fresh from Gmail, and then I reinstall all applications. I never question the cleanliness of it.

I do the same exact thing... I always prefer installing the app from the market instead of from a backup.

So i download this new app called process manager. It is a pretty good app that has a feature that shows you what starts up and how much memory it takes up... This works for both apps and services....
I strictly use Launcherpro for my launcher but was surprised to find that my phone was starting up and loading Dell Stage, and all the widgets. The stage took about 5 megs and each widget took an additional 2-3 megs. I used titanium backup to remove these things because I do not use them.
Further analyzing the data of what memory was being used, I went from 140 megs free to 200. I either removed or froze items that I decided weren't really necessary.
I have noticed battery time improvements and the phone is leaner and meaner now. I end up opening up this app now ever few days and check to see what is going on...
so if you are not using apps or background apps, its best to probably remove them.. just be careful!
What apps you running there?
I'm running 351 and I have Stage Home running, with the Music and Pictures widgets. I uninstalled the other widgets(Movies, Social, Books) and I have 232MB free, and my Dell runs lightning fast.
I like to keep my Streak light and fast.
Map and pandora always starts themselves automatically and eat 40mb worth of memory.

use Root Explorer and delete all the .apks and will solve most of your problems. I installed process app you mentioned and had hardly anything like you mentioned loaded. I always delete them about two minutes after installing any rooted ROM.

Ok youve sold me , I am going to root. Which ites did you remove and which did you decide to freeze? Your list may be helpful.
You can probly use task killer as well.
but use titanium backup to delete or freeze apps
I froze lota, log manager. Log storage
Removed all att crap
Removed uneccessary live wallpapers
Removed swype
Removed anything I didn't use that was an app.
Take a look and see what is loading on your streak before you remove items

This is really annoying. Everytime i put in a new rom and restore apps/games in titanium, everythings back on phone and must movem to SD one by one manually and it takes ages!
Any tips?
you using the free or paid version?
Paid.. Bought it from market
does it matter? i have tb pro and still face the same thing too

It does matter. Cuz each time i flash i use 30mins to move everything over one by one in application manager. I have A LOT of apps installed
sorry, i was replying to Richy99's post on whether it was a paid or free version of TBP
I too find it a hassle to move the data over to SD. However saying that, when i do move them over, the Note takes a longer time to complete loading the desktop due to the scanning of the card
I'm going to be coming from the Motorola Atrix to the SGS3. Whats the best way to migrate my apps + data? I know I can just reload my purchased apps from the Play Store but I have a lot of 3rd party apps that were sideloaded. I have Titanium Pro but will it work going from one phone to another?
Titanium Backup will work from phone to phone. Just remember that you will have to root the SGS3 before you can use it. Also, make sure that if you use the batch restore function not to restore system apps and data and this can mess up things on the new phone. Just restore user apps and data.
Hope this helps.
Thanks. Forgot that I would have to root new sammy for titanium.

From their page in app store: *** Notice: App Backup cannot backup data or settings of apps for you, but it only backup the apk files.

Doesn't TIBU require root? I'm anxious to be able to use TIBU, but don't want to root or mod phone until I am sure there there is a way to get back to stock, including erasing ROM change count.

Yeah, I said it requires root...
As of right now, I am not aware of any better way to migrate data between phones other than Titanium. I just hope that this will be rooted as quickly as the international version was.

Doh! Sorry. Been reading so much, I"m reverted to skimming too fast.
I too am anxious to get it all going. I suspect it will be fast. But in the meantime, we suffer w/o data updates it would seem.
The price of being on the got to have list early I guess
Can someone explain me a little bit more? I'm a noob for this stuff...
So I have Titanium on my old Galaxy, I make a backup. Then I root my S3. Then what? I install from Play Store the Titanium app on my S3? Or I have to install the Titanium that was on my old Galaxy?
Thanks for your patience...
I believe Titanium backs up to your sd card. You install from market on new phone, then place the backup file from Titanium on your sd card to new phone and restore.

First, your GS3 will need to be rooted. (I don't know if TIBU will even install or run if not).
You can install it from the Market, not needed from your old device so that TIBU can restore from them. But, you need the data files that were backed up on your old device.
While TIBU backs up to yoru SD card, you need to get those files over to your new device. Several ways that can happen:
Files put on Google Drive, or DropBox, then moved to new device.
Set your backup directory to an external SD instead of internal SD. That is what I do.
Once you have the files from your old device you can restore to the S3.
I'm assuming your old device is not ICS. So you will NOT want to do system restore.
I've read that people occasionally have issues restoring from TIBU. Just to be safest as possible, I will likely install all my apps from Market, and try to restore the data from Tibu.
That being said though, I won't be doing that until I can root, and I don't plan to root until I'm sure I can get everything back to stock.
Thanks a lot to both of you for answering me. I think I got it now. I'm coming from Skyrocket with GB and I'm planning to get the S3 in about august... so probably the rooting won't be a problem for then.
Thanks again...

Purchased Apps should be uninstalled prior to using the new phone. Yes, I know that you can often install paid apps on multiple devices, but that's not the intent. Then once you register the phone and it shows on the market, you can quickly just install all the apps in the list.
IF you have a Google business acct they actually have a apk that you put on the phone and it can uninstall and unregister a (living) phone from your Play (Market) account (as well as do other tricks like full wipe and changing the pin). Normal people can only 'hide' the unused phone.
TI (which I use) requires Root to do it's stuff (or a lot of it), so without root access, I don't see it. Thankfully, I use a 3P contacts sync and wifi settings backup so I won't have that issue with my old phone being Dead.

Well, I haven't checked my paid apps yet. I did not uninstall them from my old phone, and I have already activated the new SGS3.
It automatically downloaded and installed my apps. (Again, haven't checked which may be missing yet).
So, all is there. On a few, I may be able to export data, on others, I'm not so sure I"ll succeed getting data there until I get root for TIBU.

You might not be so lucky with all your paid apps. Some, like gameloft, are picky about making sure to check with the license server that only one copy of their game is active on a device at a time.

I just installed most of my pay apps, some I've started using on my TP instead. I was surprised that SWIFTKEYE X didn't charge me, but I was an original beta tester for them, I didn't like the default Swype keyboard, the predictions were so off, and the Swiftkey does predictions based on my posts, emails, etc.
I had been hopping to restore my many network wifi stuff, but the program that does that isn't compatible with ICS...
