With all the great new ROMs out there, I am trying to figure out the best way to go about backing up and restoring my apps and all of my settings.
I do Nandroid backups, and those work find as a "snapshot" of my Hero. But is there any easy way to back up and restore all of my apps or settings in one fell swoop, without affecting the installed ROM?
I'm trying to find the best way to move from one DamageControl ROM to another, for instance. My current procedure would be to back up the phone, wipe it, then flash the new ROM. From there, I would have to use AppMonster or something to restore my apps. The downside is that that would have to be done manually, and plus I would still be without all of my custom settings.
So is there any easier way to go about this? I have tried flashing a newer DC ROM on top of an older one without wiping, and this seems to work okay sometimes, except for I tend to have a lot of quirks with the new installation then -- force closes and things of that nature.
Anyway, I'm sure you guys have developed some pretty smart ways to go about switching from one ROM to another without having to manually set things up each time, and I'm just trying to find out what's most efficient.
Thanks for your time!
I use titanium backup, I believe it lets you backup personal data as well not a 100% but pretty sure.
I just wipe each time, and install whatever ROM is the flavor of the moment.
I have a couple of Nandroid backups on my computer though.
Thanks for the info. I might give Titanium Backup a try...

Mybackup works great for backing up contacts and some settings as well as your apps. You get 30 days free trial I think.
if your using Damage's latest, you may want to avoid Titanium as it seems to be breaking the audio....
Check out a program called Android Commander it backs up apps to your computer. I really like the ease of use, plus it makes editing the phone files easy. Check it out!
partition your SD card and get a rom with Apps2SD(A2SD). Than when you flash a new rom the app .apks will still be on your sd card data (unless you cleared ext3 partition in which you should mount your phone via usb and make a copy of the ext3 folder on your sdcard that you have from partitioning ur sd card via RA and have apps2sd running, now to the app that makes all this come together is this simple app i found on the market called "installer" download this one app from market and launch it, what this app does is scan's your sd card for every single .apk file and puts them in a nice neat list(with icons) than you can simple click on it and choose to install. this is a must have!
I'm using TitaniumBackup on fresh's newest and it works amazing for me.

Have you tried it going from a 1.5 rom (Fresh 1.1 in this case) to a 2.1 ROM (Fresh 2.0d)?
I tried it on my wife's phone last night. After the restore sense was stuck in an FC loop and I had to wipe and start over. I ended up restoring her 1.5 nandroid so she would stop giving me evil looks and contemplating my death.

Nah I've been on 2.1 since the eris leak lol. But were you restoring everything? try doing apps first and see if that works, then one by one doing the data it might be something you can pin point and avoid.

When I did my phone I had no issues...I was like you and was on 2.x from the Eris leak. My wife though doesn't like her phone to be 'tinkered with' (I wonder if that has anything to do with me cursing and screaming when I first bricked my phone with the RUU? But I digress), so she's coming from 1.5 (Fresh 1.1). In any event I tried what you suggest already...the apps install fine. It's when I restore the app settings (only the app settings, not system) that everything goes boom. She's got 120 apps. I'm not going through them one by one, so I'll probably just tell her she's got to live with a nuke and pave if she wants to upgrade. Since she'll likely have the same problem if/when the official Sprint release comes out, I doubt I'll have much trouble convincing her to let go of some of her crap.
My major issue is restoring her text messages at this point. I know that the 1.5 ROMs uses a different database format than the 2.x series. So I'm going to take a guess that I won't be able to save those.

120 apps! Lol, but I might be able to help with the text messages thing, I just found on the market an app called SMS Backup. It actually backs up all your sms to your gmail account in thread form. Its pretty sweet and runs in the background each time you get a message it just uploads it to your gmail account silently. I had the same issue I was just getting sick of everytime I flashed I would loose all my messages at least now I have them backed up somewhere and better yet its in a place where I dont have to worry about running outta space. So overall it might be a better option I read alot of people saying they arent paying attention and a threaded sms reaches 2k+ then their phones start to lag and it wont delete them. Just an option, but its a pretty kick ass app you should check it out.

I'll take a look at it. But if I understand what it does, it will only get new stuff that comes in, and won't be able to be restored to the messaging database, right? If that's the case she won't go for it. She's 'purist' about her phone (she's great, and I love her to death, but a tech geek she isn't. She just wants it to work, work like it's stock, and not give her problems...a viewpoint I can understand, honestly ).

Lol, I understand. I haven't tried restoring to be honest but I think theres another one similar out there called sms backup and restore or something like that that dumps all the sms into an xml file and allows you to restore it again. Not sure I haven't used it, just read about it in passing and looked it up on the market. But thats always another option.

Sweet. I'll take a look. Thanks for the tips
So I've been doing these things for a while and just realized theyre pretty elusive and most people would never think of them, theyre pretty useless but maybe someone will appreciate them.
So I have been using titanium backup to backup and restore my builds (a lot of people have said not to when switching between builds but I've never had a problem) and realized a couple weird things you can do by restoring backups some of which are really handy.
MAKE A LOCKSCREEN WITH NO PASSWORD!
This is amazing, especially with the screen blackout issues.
Basically backup your system settings with a lock pattern on. then turn the lock off and restore them and restart your phone, you should be able to put in any pattern you want every time you unlock your phone. (also on some builds, sometimes the touchscreen will turn back on when you push any on screen button while its being frozen, so having the dots all over is handy) it also really confuses my friends with android phones every time i put in a super complicated password that uses every dot and weird angles.
APPS DO WEIRD THINGS THEY SHOULDNT... IN A GOOD WAY?
Beautiful widgets has a really nice way of showing the weather in the notification bar, but it wont do it unless you have a widget on the homescreen, do the same thing apply one, back it up, and then take it off and restore it. now i have the notification without having the widget. minor, but nice.
also, not useful but i noticed if you apply sms popup and then do the same it says its disabled but it is actually enabled, so... i know that isnt useful but maybe it will help you think of or notice something that is.
that sound very geek to me ;-)

-that is the spirit, not big things was found until digging like you do
i'm using an HTC Glacier 2.3.4 non-rooted
i plan to root my phone but i was wondering what would be the best rom for me?
-i want to be able to use the wii ime app (dosnt work w/ htc sense)
-i want to be able to still use my 4g mobile networks,wifi & hotspot and usb tether
-netflix compatible
- skype,oovoo,ect. compatable
-market ( i rooted before and couldnt log into market so i went back )
-working photo/video camera
- and of course all the things android phones should have (phone,text,contacts, account sync ect.)
what would be the best rom for me to use?
also, is there a way to flash a custom (or official) rom without erasing texts and account data?
Since your first point eliminates Sense, you're basically left with one option: AOSP. There are quite a few ROMs based on AOSP, but the biggest would be CyanogenMod 7 and MIUI. CM7 provides you with the basic Android look, but a lot of customizable options. Everything works extremely well, and it has great battery life. MIUI is a Chinese developed ROM that essentially makes your phone look like an iPhone. I have never tried it myself, but I've heard a lot of good things about it's performance and battery life.
My personal recommendation to you is CM7. I'm more of a function-over-fashion guy, so I do not mind that it's missing all the eye candy and flash of Sense. Right now, I'm running TDJ's version of CM7.2.0, and I cannot think of a single downside to tell you. I can't speculate about the Wii app since I don't have a Wii, but it meets all your other listed criteria. As a general piece of advice, look into anything that TDJ develops. The man is a legend around these parts, and everything he gets involved in, always comes out better than before. The links to my setup are in my signature, in case you want to check it out.
As for maintaining data like texts, use Titanium Backup. I recommend you spring for the Pro version because it is extremely handy, especially if you like to flash a lot of ROMs. When backing up data, going to the "Backup/Restore" tab at the top, press the menu button and select "Batch." From there, select "Backup all user apps + system data." Once that is done and you've flashed the ROM you want, redownload Titanium Backup from the Market, and follow the same steps but instead of backing up, you'll want to restore. So scroll down to the restoration options, and select "Restore missing apps with data." It will restore any apps that you are missing, along with their data (like game progress, settings/preferences, etc.). Do not restore system data, because that could screw up your phone. It might be time consuming, but it's better to manually setup your phone instead.
To restore your text messages, from the "Backup/Restore" tab, scroll down until you find "[SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage." It should be labeled in green. Press it, and select the option to restore data. Once that's done, restart your phone and your texts should be back in the Messages app. It might take a few minutes for the app to sort them out chronologically, but it will. If you synced your phone with Google, your contacts should be automatically restore upon signing in.
I would recommend MIUI if customization is what you're looking for. So many themes!!!! Also for backup I prefer MyBackup Pro/Root (either works) for all my apps, texts, MMS, ect. So TDJ's MIUI for my recommendation!

+1 on CM7.1. It's nowhere near as "ugly" as a lot of users make it out to be. I feel that now there are themes that you can find in the market just by searching CM7 themes that really make the UI very appealing to the eyes. I am running CM7.1 with "stetsonaw's EpicBlue Theme CM7" and it's beautiful. R3Ds Themes are pretty nice too.
I would definitely recommend CM7 to all Glacier owners, from my own personal experiences. But the best way to tell is to flash them all and give them all a test drive.
I've tried some very good Sense ROMs too from MikMik, Darkside, and Virtuous that are significantly better than the stock Sense. TDJ did a very nice job on his MiUI ROM also. I just always end up back at CM7.1

Not really. The iOS look only applies to the included theme. Most MIUI themes look nothing like iOS:
I personally love performance and battery life. The best i found so far is miui 12.23 by tdj i get about 26 hours with game play but gps is only problem on links once in awhile. Then absolution cm7 rom is getting 16 hours with heavy game play and gps is great. Try them and have fun.

I think you need to go through the down grade process before you ate able to simply root your phone. It is in the forums
Core droid htc glacier
My questions is as my title explains.
I just used the shiny new root tool to root my phone, so of course the first thing I did was boot up Titanium Backup and restore all of my apps and some of my settings.
I made sure that I was pretty careful not to override any system apps/settings, or at least so I thought.
Everything is working fine, except that now all of my toggles are completely gone.
Notification drawer: Missing
Quick Settings Panel: Missing
Settings -> Display -> Notification Drawer: Missing
Was just wondering if anyone had any ideas, or if I'm forced to do a reset and restore again :/
Nevermind I fixed it. I used Titanum Backup to wipe my two Settings Storages and that worked.
Just thought I'd post that in case someone else does the same thing.
I generally only do restore of apps, then afterwards certain ones I will restore the data, like games Angry Birds etc. You may have restored some mod app or something that overwrote those items? not sure. But going from one device to another its a bit risky restoring app and data in my expereince.
*ah, glad you got it

Agreed. Never a good idea to try to restore Settings (or really ANYTHING other than user apps) when going cross-ROM, and especially cross-Device. Sometimes you can get away with it if the roms are based on the same origin (i.e. a modified stock rom from stock), but if there's ever any changes to the available settings (nearly always the case), there's a huge risk.
Glad to see you fixed it.
First of all, please allow me to express that this method is not taken from somewhere else or not required any expertise to implement. This is just based on to remove heavy TW applications, and find better replacements for them. Mainly, this is not a mod at all
I am sharing this method because it is tried by lots of people and they conveyed their appreciation for overall performance and battery life increase.
As a start, either Flash a fully Stock odexed Rom or flash a TW based Custom Rom.
Then root it, and flash a performance kernel. Preferably H.O.C Hello World Kernel v1.3.7b.
Make a Full Nandroid Backup including /preload partition. I bear no responsibility for any lost info or broken device. (Actually it is impossible to break the phone by implementing this method but who knows
Then install Titanium Backup. Backup all user and system apps.
These are all kind of prerequisites. There we start now
First thing to be done is to get rid of TW Launcher. IT is hell of a burden for whole system. Best replacement for me is Nova Launcher. You choose your own. After you settle with new launcher and rest assured that it is OK, freeze TW via TB. Thanks to this step we have gained more than 50 mb of RAM
Second thing is to get rid of is Gallery. Due to Facebook, Picasa, G+, etc. integration Gallery is always working background and pushes system very hard. Best and fastest replacement is stock Android/Google Camera and Gallery. Here is the link: http://db.tt/L1ip1Inp Flash it via Recovery. This will install system folder. You can find preload variations on the net.
After you install the zip, set video recording resolution to 480p. Otherwise it gets stuck. When you confirm that media scanner is completed and Camera is working including whole features, then you can freeze and/or delete stock gallery and camera apps.
The other wise thing to do to lighten the rom would be deleting some bloatware, actually all bloatwares . Start with ad apps, and continue with live wallpapers and live wallpaper chooser. After that, you can delete Samsung scloud agents. If you are not using them, it will be wise.
Other apps to be deleted could be FM Radio, Google Play Music, etc. The ones you are sure that you are not using. Actually to give a complete and proper list is unfortunately impossible. Cause it is dependent to tastes and choices. For example, I don’t use All Share and Group Play, so I even deleted them. On the other hand, you may be using them. So even if I tell you what I have deleted, it may not work for you.
You can also delete some widget apps like Favorite Apps, contacts, etc. They consume RAM. Get rid of them. If you are not using stock keyboard, then get rid of Samsung IME, swype. Also you can delete street view, double clock, digital clock, etc. You decide it. There are lists floating around in which you can find the app safe to remove.
Any app not essential for system can be deleted. If you are hesitant whether an app is obligatory for system working or not, then just freeze it So that you can defreeze it later on if you face any problems.
I would strongly advise you to get rid of Play Store, Hangout, Play Music, Play Services. If you need GTalk, here it is: http://db.tt/6NKHZMvV (Replace it with Hangout apk (don’t know the name) and set the permissions. If you cannot find a replacement for Play Market, try 1Mobile. It is free. No warez either. Afterwards you won’t need Play Services. System will be free of another heavy duty as well
Now, we set our Rom according to your taste and needs. System is a lot lighter now. It is time to implement some mods.
Search for Direct Injection tweak on xda. Flash it via CWM right away. Let the phone boot.
Then, install Seeder from xda also. Choose all 3 options, set it to moderate and Turn it ON. Reboot the phone again.
After, install No Frills CPU from 1Mobile (we deleted Play Store ). Set governor as HYPER, and scheduler as row. Max Freq: 1,2GHZ; Min:200 MHZ. Tick applying settings on boot. Then activate your Battery Saving Mode.
Finally, go to recovery. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache. Let the phone reboot and settle for 30 minutes.
Enjoy the fastest Rom ever
Please do not report battery life before 3 full cycle.
Regards.
Nice guide. Cause you did more than me. But for the launcher, if you don't use widgets and just want ultimate simplicity get Sicksky launcher https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sicksky its the next generation zeam launcher. For me nova launcher still takes up a lot of space due to its number of features. So after reading the whole thread I realised that stock android is the best.

Thanks for reply and advise.
Though I need weather, mail and calender widgets. I dont know if I can use thim with SickSky but if they dont work with it, then sorry
Actually my RAM usage is around 550-650. Itmeans there is a lot of room for Nova Even if you limit background processes via Developer Options by three or two, you will se a noticable RAM usage decrease. Try it now
But still, there may be lots of additions to this. So whoever comes up with a new advise is more than welcomed
This should be a contribution thread, I hope.
I actually love TW starter but will try other things you said.
nice guide though:good:
TW Launcher is the best, I tried almost all launchers but the satisfaction and ease I get with TWL none can provide even if its a little heavy on ram but really not that heavy to make your system laggy.
Overall your motto to keep the rom lite and fast looks good to me but removing Play Store is a crime don't do that. lol

I think rather than cut down every feature on your phone easier to pick up a nice Nokia 3600 or something like that going back to 20th. century.
