[Q] Question after MiniCM installation - XPERIA X8 General

Hello there, I'm new. If I made some mistake by posting here, please forgive me, but I can't post in the right section and I don't know where to do this. Anyway, thanks to your topics, I have installed this ROM in my X8, but I have one question: in my home I have 5 "screens", how can I delete them? I usually use only 2 or 3 screens, and I don't find anywhere the option to do that. Thank you!

What launcher do you use?
If it's ADW than MENU->edit -> cilck on X on top of the screen preview.
If it's GO, just open preview and click on X in top-right corner.
On Launcher pro it's also something like that. I forgot.

I saw that launcher pro is pre-installed in this ROM, I'm using it now, thank you
Other question: is there a way to restore my sms backup? I did it before the installation of the ROM, but now I haven't "Backup and restore" anymore and I can't restore it

Link to Backup and restore : http://www.mediafire.com/?c4s7fecycenm13v
Hope it can help! =)

For launcher pro, menu -> preferences -> homescreen setting -> number of screens

I already tried yesterday to install it but it gives me an error. I guess it's because it's a SE application and it works only on official firmware

what kind of file it is in tour sd? Maybe it can be open with an other soft!?

It's a .sbf file

it seems to be open only by backup and restore :-/
I can only say you to use "my backup pro" next time... And maybe restore official rom if you want to backup your sms in that soft...

Backup and Restore applications and settings after wipe (ROM upgrade)

Hello
I have just had my first Android phone a couple of days. One question has come up.
After I have wiped and put in a new ROM, how can I reinstall all my applications and settings in a easy way? Seems to be to much work each time I upgrade a ROM (DeFroST), so it must exist a way to do this. I can see this application Titanium Backup that is always within the ROM. Is this the solution?

[Q] Migrating apps to a new ROM

When migrating to a different Android ROM, what is the easiest way to migrate over the apps? Would doing a data restore from the old rom work or maybe titanium? I would hate to have to do a list of all the apps and find them all over again...
Thanks!
titanium and / or astro will actually let you back up your apps (the apks). i use astro (tools > backup i believe - and is free. or if you used markets, etc. will work too of course.

I use Super Box (download it from market, its free)
First you have to back up all apps into SD card.
Then, everytime you change android,
Firstly reinstall Super Box, and then choose menu "Installer"
Then you can see all your apps (in the form of installer file .apk)
Just click what ever you want to install in the new android rom..
Cheers...
If you are on nand rom wipe data in cwm, install new rom then dovan advanced restore with data and if u used a sd-ext also restore the sd-ext.

Will the google apps market save the info of the apps I have? so that it just reloads all my apps into my next rom?

Why do you have to individually re-install each apk? When I used WM and SPB Backup and did a restore, it restored all my apps back without doing an individual re-install. Isn't there an app (Backup/Restore) that will do that in Android?

Yes but that only installs apps you have installed via market, It doesnt install apps that you side loaded and it doesnt restore the app data, only the apk file.

Yes, what you need is Titanium Backup Pro, It is THE best backup solution on Android for apps/data.
You can do anything in batch (pro version).
Trust me when I say that this is what you need!

Did you even bother to read what I said properly?
You need the "pro" version, then you can use the "batch" option in backup/restore. I use this all the time, I can restore ALL apps in 1 go, Absolutely no need to restore individually!!!!!
You can even create a update.zip and flash via recovery instead if you wish

Yah! I read what you wrote. I just told you what I am using. It is a piece of dung. I am glad that you have such a good disposition. Maybe you should take some time off and try to learn how to communicate with others. You are much to blunt! If you can't hack it, move on. Tell me, what is the purpose of TB.

Im going to tell you this one LAST time..
TB DOES support batch and DOESNT need to do it individually. If you are having to do them individually then you do NOT have the "Pro" version, You need to purchase (or get elsewhere) the Pro ticket to update your version before you get all the extra features.
Once you have the Pro version you can restore ALL your apps in one click without having to restore them individually.
Also why the fook are you trying to insult me for you ungrateful p.o.s, I'm here trying to help you!!
TB is the best program in its field, It has the most features and its the most advanced aslong as you have the Pro version, If you are looking for something more then you are simply out of luck so get over it and upgrade.
Also as I said before, TB also allows you to create a update.zip so you can also flash them via recovery and not via Android.
You understand now??

You just confirmed your 'knacker' attitude. You did not read my posting and understand what I said. So, move on dude. TB can't be the best if you must use the PRO version. The non-pro version implies that you can do a BATCH restore and it does not allow a Batch restore. I got over it before I posted.
BYE BYE!

it could depend on the options you choose in Settings and during Restore: as far as system apps go I prefer to stick to data only and select (carefully and selectively) only green items from the list, occassionally sth happens and some of the apps FC on me (e.g. market or Gmail) , but then clearing relevant app data under Anroid Settings / Applications usually helps

Fully wipe data and reflash ROM.

Reboot your phone, connect to Market via WIFI.

It's OK ^_^
Do you want to backup the data partition (which contains all user apps and data), then you can use recovery. But I'd recommend Titanium Backup for application and data within the Android OS.
EDIT: You'll need to install Titanium Backup again and have the backup data available to restore. If you decide to wipe data.

Press MENU and then select Batch. Then on the Backup sub-heading select the third one (which is 'Backup all user apps + system data). You'll then see all the apps are selected, so press 'Run batch operation'. Wait for a moment and then you're backed up.
If you want to restore, choose the one you want from the Restore sub-heading. If you want all your apps on a clean ROM, select 'Restore missing apps with data'

sorry bro for the long time for me to response from your message.
i have no pc or laptop to use here
anyway, it seems that i'd just wondering that when I'm here in our house, i could definitely download apps from the market, but considering the speed of our wifi connection is barely slow
but when i am in our school, wifi speed is okay but i can't download apps from the market.
is it in the wifi connection? or in the handset itself????
The school probably blocked such actions to be done.
Go to Settings/Apps/Manage Apps/ then press Menu then press Filters and press all then press market then press Clear Cache then press Uninstall Updates then your done
;D

If you are using school wifi then it won't work!!
schools use WEP wifi (for computers) while
our phones can only use WAP/WAP2 !!!

It says that there is access to Wifi but Android apps can't be install from the Android Market. I presume that there is still access to an internet connection therefore having access to other websites.
sometimes my market gets stuck as well. i just reboot the phone and everything works great

Not exactly. This is an alternative to another backup tool, nandroid, which is an image backup of your entire Android installation (not just apps and data like Tiranium). If you restore a nandroid everything is exactly the way you had it at the time you backed it up: settings, preferences, apps, data, etc.
this is like using clockworkmod but with out rebooting
So it backs up everything boot/ sys/ data/ cache/ like clockworkmod but no rebooting needed for lazy people like me lol

this sounds perfect..
concerning our device, is the default backup stored on "sd card" folder?
they use the term external sd card.. makes me think and actual external storage location..
is it pretty much idiot proof.. no way to fubar?

I would actually recommend starting with a normal nandroid backup from your already-installed recovery, instead of using this alternative, first. That way you can get used to the normal way of doing things before changing it up with this. Both TWRP and CWM have the backup ability; just look for "backup" somewhere. The backup is saved on the mounted sdcard, inside /sdcard/clockworkmod. For the recovery method, unless you go in and delete your backups, it's pretty much idiot-proof. Just find the backup option in recovery, perhaps change a couple options like the file name, and hit backup.

OP's alternative allows you do do that very same backup without rebooting into recovery, so you can keep using the Touchpad while it does a backup.
