Sorry, I am new and maybe this is a silly question. Can I flash a new rom without loosing my apps and their settings and my games and their saves ? Like backing-up all these.

If you are rooted use titanium backup from market, but the fact you asked this indicated you need to study more before you start flashing roms

hahaha. Thank you very much for your quick answer ! Maybe you are right. The fact is that I already flashed my phone 2-3 times but never interested in backing-up. On the other hand now, I have spent a lot of time with it and I do not want to loose my apps. Is there something specific I should do with titanium back-up ? or I just back-up with this app and then, after I flash, I restore ? ( sorry haven' t used it before )

Yeah you just backup before flashing, restore after. Bear in mind I don't think it is compatible between cm7/miui and samsung - based roms.

Well restoring app data can cause problems, but that is depending on what rom you are flashing to and from, and like any app you need to learn to use it I recommend paid version as it allows you to batch restore and backup

You may have problems with app data but I'm really not sure, you will know if you do because you will get a lot of fc of apps

thank you slaphead20 and jaju123 very much ! I will try to save anything I can with titanium. flashing is much more important for me.

Some games store their save files on the SD card (data or similar). So if you flash a new ROM, all you need to do is reinstall the game and you can start where you left.
Thank you !
ive never had any problems backing up and restoriing ONLY user downloaded apps between cm7, stock and miui using titanium. the only thing which would cause you problems would be restoring system apps..
if you wish to backup messages also and use them with other firmwares u could also use GoSMS, which has a backup function

I've used this and it does a great job just ensure your contacts are synced via your google account and everything else should be fine.
could always use idrive lite to backup contacts as well
Awesome worked great.
It didnt backed up the data of my copilot like the maps.

Didn't see this question asked in My Touch forum so here goes.
I backed up all my apps with TB and flashed from Energy Rom to Blackwings ICSandwhich. Full wipes and the whole 9. When on BW's ROM I can't get TB to restore apps. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Don't install backups from GB to ICS or vice versa.
It causes problem.

You can restore apps, just not data. Except for ics only apps, don't restore those on a ginger bread rom.

Well, ok, yes. Sorry. I use titanium to restore my data. If I want an app by itself I get it from the market to ensure the latest version. Silly me.

If you flash via ODIN it will preserve your settings/apps.

You will have to wipe anyway. Currently there's no way to go from stock ICS to the leaked stock JBs. I recommend you stay on lfb, it's a solid firmware. JB still has some compatibility and performance issues.
If you want to try it out anyway, root your phone with cf-root. Backup your current rom, format away and then flash the LI2 odin leak. In any case you can go back to your stock config.
Can I backup my rom + Apps and everything at once? With what tool? I have rom manager premium.

I recently flashed mint jelly. I liked Polaris office 5. I'd like to keep using it. Question is, would restoring app+data thru TiBu, a backup which was made on MDL, to my new MEA base work? Or would the pre installed app have an entitlement check of some sort that wouldn't allow me to use it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
It most likely will work. I'd give it a shot. You don't have anything to loose. Make a nandriod first just in case.

Once you download and flash as rom, can you delete the file from your sd card?

Yes

Goto the download location and delete the file.

Not a good idea, what happens if something goes wrong and you need to reflash? Better keep it handy.
I always keep my current ROM, current kernel and stock kernel available to flash in case i run into issues caused by tweaking.
That is what nandroid backups are for. Delete em.

Nandroid backups aren't always reliable. If you don't want a rom on your phone then keeping it on your pc is a good idea.

That's when you power the phone off, download the ROM on PC and transfer it to a MicroSD card. Better to keep the .zip on the phone rather than carry a laptop around though. Lol.

I keep several ROMs and kernels on my sd card in case something goes haywire. Which has happened and I couldn't reflash the same ROM or my Nandroid, and could only flash a backup ROM I kept on my sd. I would have been screwed because I was using gps to get to a work site and wouldn't have known where to go. And couldn't have called anyone to find out since my phone wouldn't boot. From then on I have at least 2-3 ROMs and kernels etc.
