Phone backup

Ok so the OTA 2.2 should be around the month.
I was just wondering is there an android app or program for the pc to back up the current state of my phone such as all apps and preferences so i dont have to start from scratch after the update?

When I tried to update to the unofficial 2.2 (and failed ) titanium backup did the trick. Reloaded all apps with settings, just had to rebuild my screen layouts. Problem is most of the backup programs require root. Accordin to streaksmart.com the "dell insider" was not able to root the official build. Not to say the smart people on these forums wont have that figured out in no time after its released: )

Sorry. Didnt read completely. Don't know of one for the PC...

Dell have said that they will tell you how to back up all your data before applying the update so maybe they have a program they are sending with the update

Theres a free dell backup app on the market now specifically for the streak so problem solved

you could re-flash the rom, I've never tried the camera hack so I'm not sure exactly what it entails or how to reverse it besides just starting over.

I'm new to flashing rom and stuff but does it erase all apps

Yes it would unless you back them up somehow.
Are you running a custom rom right now?

No stock rooted why?

I found this:
"Be careful in Service Mode that you know what it is your changing. If you hork up your phone you can reset it by doing a Factory data reset in Settings / Privacy / Factory data reset."
from here
but be careful, you'll need to reinstall your apps if you do that, but if you flashed the rom again you'd have to do that anyways.

Thanks ill probably try a new rom any recommendations preferably one with good battery

I've had great battery with Macnut R13.
I've actualy never had below 24 hours unplugged.
but fair warning: some people say the opposite so I may have just got lucky.
It seems to be about 50/50 have good battery life or dont lol
Also I hear great things about Team Whiskeys roms.
as well as Auxura (Although the guy developing the rom recently stopped development on it)
if you want to stay with 2.1 you might try team whiskey
or if you like 2.2 then any of the above would be great roms
everyone has their own opinion though so you might try a few before you find one you like alot.

Okay one more question... let's say I flash a rom right now... then flash another tomorrow... will the one I did the day before be completely erased when I flash a new one I've heard of people experiencing bugs and this happened ..

Generaly yes you should not have a problem.
but if you do run into trouble you can use odin to start clean, in fact alot of people prefer to use odin to get back to stock before flashing any rom.
but its up to you, I generaly only use odin if things start acting weird (which is next to never)

Wait... isn't Odin how you flash new roms?
Also can u link me to a good tutorial on flashing roms I'm trying to search it from my phone using xda app but its taking forever

At least this thread will serve as a solution to the next person has this issue. Loved the title of this thread, had to respond.

So how did you get the stock camera back? Mine keeps restarting my phone I want to restore it but there is no restore.txt
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Go to your files app.. then sgstools folder there should be a app called camera.apk
Get root explorer go to system > apps and delete camera.apk and the one under it is like camera.odex delete that too.
Now use root explorer to go to sgstools and move camera.API to system apps then go clear all data foe camera app reboot. Done.

Can you add to the Toots-how to wipe your cache, clear frozen apps data, etc.
So many people asking how to do this.

You mean like go to settings/apps/app management/ choose app/ click clear cache??

That and clearing phones cache via recovery. Maybe add that to the vid. Basic crap for us, but so many people-who don't know how to root-ask about this.

Well I will be working on more tutorials I will definately tackle clockwork, and many other things.

I used this same method and posted a revised services.jar in my RoyalGinger thread a few days ago. I believe I only heard back from one maybe two guys but it did not appear to work.
And if you read that thread you linked, most of the people who actually tried it did not ultimately have success in the end with this either.
However, I will post mine in the off chance that it might work for someone.
It seems from reading the other G2 thread that this needed to be applied BEFORE you actually got throttled for the month. (but again, it appears this may not work at all anymore...)
**THIS WILL LIKELY ONLY WORK WITH ROYALGINGER AND LATER CM7 BUILDS** because it's based on this framework.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- download the zip from this post, extract the modded services.jar & put it on your computer (in the example commands below, it assumes its in your root C:\ folder but if it's elsewhere just add on the appropriate path after the C:\ )
- reboot into recovery & connect your phone to PC via USB
- open a command prompt, terminal, etc. on your PC/mac/toilet and type:
adb shell
mount /system
exit
adb push C:\services.jar /system/framework/
adb reboot
- all done
i've never tried this before and i'm not throttled so i can't test it ... this will probably make your settings > wireless & network > mobile networks menu force close .. but with the power widgets to switch network type the only thing you wouldn't be able to change are APNs .. either way, i included a virgin/unmodded services.jar that you can repush anytime you need to get back into that menu (make sure to rename it services.jar before pushing the unmodded one back to /system/framework/)
good luck!

I know that being throttled for a supposed "unlimited" service sux, but trying to hack your way around the limit is not something I would do or agree to either. This is more of an ethical issue.
On the technical side, I would be surprised that T-Mobile network is so easily fooled by anything on the phone side. They should be able to throttle based on your unique SIM ID rather than whatever settings or APN server from your phone.
Every time you turn on your phone, they know about your SIM and IMEI number from their server, from those 2 information, they know about your phone number, your personal information, your approximate location relative to their towers and which phone you are using.

It doesn't work.

@ckisgen, Yeah I noticed that most people were unable to use this but on the rare chance this does for work someone they'll be awfully happy lol. I got tethered once when I didn't have wifi at my house, needless to say it sucked. Thanks for posting your zip, instructions, and for all the work you do in the community.

Heres for thr noobs lol
Grab root explorer

Grab the edited services.jar not the unedited patch.
Get astro from the market or whatever file explored u like.
Go to your downloads folder in astro- highligh the services folder until a menu comes up hit edit then select move hit home on astro
U should see paste at the top in astro hit it itll put it in the root of sdcard
Grab root explored and the edited services.jar hold it hit edit in root explorer scroll down to to move then hit back once go to system folder in the main menu find framework in the system folder youll see the old services.jar dont touch it hit paste at the bottom in root explored itll asked to to overite it hit yes and it will then exit root explored reboot your phone and your free from the throttling enjoy yay!!
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App

I don't see how this would work. Your data usage is not tracked phone side its tracked server side by T-mobile. Just because you don't get throttled after 5GB doesn't mean that it will work all the time.

here's a little piece of the post where the file was uploaded :
"**THIS WILL LIKELY ONLY WORK WITH ROYALGINGER AND LATER CM7 BUILDS** because it's based on this framework."
... you really shouldn't flash things to your phone without reading the instructions. especially the parts that are in all caps, bold face, underlined, increased font size, and surrounded by multiple **'s.

TOO FUNNY!!! Surely you all jest... No bid deal... I've flashed things before that weren't supposed to work... Particularly when it says "LIKELY" which implies that such would be "possible" based upon certain conditions no?!?!

Netflix Lib Files

Can someone with a ROOTED 3.1 Iconia and Netflix running post the lib files? I want to try and port/hack them to the Transformer to get Netflix running since it runs on the Iconia and not the Transformer.
TIA

First wrong section and second Netflix unless in the last couple days something amazing happened. It does not work? Even with build prop editing
General would be the section you should post in.

It does work on the Iconia, a lot of people have reported it working. I guess if a mod could move it over that would help. I might just delete this and start a new one. But it also works on the XOOM, Galaxy Tab and now the Iconia, now just need it to work on the Transformer.

Did you try googling the netflix.zip files. You can flash it through CWM if you find it. It will contain the lib files. I'm at work but I'll try to find it later

Simple enough, change you r Build.prop info to match the Nexus S. If you got as far as you did, then changing the platform info might let it stream. Just make sure to back up you original Build.prop to revert if it doesn't work.
Also, you will need to reboot when changing the file for it to take hold, and it will affect the Market.

bump.
really want this to be confirmed as 'working streaming' and not simply editing of queue items.
