Is there a way to do so? I would like to flash a new ROM, however I have alot of apps on my phone i would like to keep. It would take way too long to reinstall all of them. Thanks in advance

Just be aware that you can get problems if you backup and restore to different ROMs. It isn't always successful!
i just put a rom onto my phone and everything got deleted. Is there anyway i can get those back and still have the rom??
All my contacts and all my apps got deleted. Is there anyway i can get those back??

Not unless you did a nand backup.
yeah just boot to recovery and do a Nandroid restore of the back up you made. Assuming you did this like every ROM thread warns you to.
yes i did the nandroid backup but if i restore the backup will i still have to rom??
You can start by reading the forums and learn what you're doing before you do it.

Hey I saw this thing that told me how to delete System32, and I did it, how do I make my computer turn on!

really man you should read up on this stuff, go to the DamageControl thread and read about it. do a search and see what other people have said about it. 99% of the roms YOU are going to be dealing with are the same exact thing with minor preference variations.
yeah but how am i suppose to learn about it when i dont know what "dealing with are the same exact thing with minor preference variations" even means. How does that help me??

Because you have your Contacts set as Google and not phone, and you back up your apps with Titanium Backup.
Before you ask how to do either of those things, read the little book that came with your phone. It will tell you how to backup your contacts to Google.
Search the Hero forums for what Titanium backup is, and how to use it.
ok thanks!!

there are very few people who will hold your hand and walk you through these very easy to follow steps. READING about what is included in a rom, which i will tell you is ALWAYS on the first page of said rom's thread will tell you everything about that rom that you need or want to know. There are places to look up all the answers to your questions. here is a good place to start...

aaand...im out. before the tridant falls on my head, again.
Ok I'm a noob Hero owner so I'll attempt an answer.
When you turned on your phone for the very first time, after you got over the shock of how cool and awesome it was, I assume you either signed in with or created a google account.
Now after you flash a new ROM especially one that requires a factory wipe of all data, you will have to do that again. Your contacts and email and calendar will all resync to your phone courtesy of the fine folks at google.
As for the apps. Titanium backup seems to be the way to go no muss no fuss.
Holy crap. I've been on these forums for quite a while. I've had three different phones that I've used these exact forums as a resource for modding, rooting, or what have you with all three of them. I've never needed to post a single thing. I will use this opportunity to make my first post, and say:
lol
Guys after upgrade to froyo ive lost my 4g connection.

It does or can get kinda repetitive when you do it over and over. Its a lot better if you have something like Titanium Backup makes restores bearable.

Astro File Manager (may require Pro version?) has an app backup function. Not as nice as Titanium Backup, but it doesn't require root.
Also, don't forget to update your radio and WiMAX as per the OP on that thread.
i find it amusing that the same people who were afraid or for whatever reason didnt root, are now flashing this fake unreleased 2.2 and complaining about the issues with it... if you want an official release, wait for it to be officially released
I dont really care what you think. If you dont have an answer to the question dont reply and dont waist my and others time. got it ? get it ? good

Astro file manager is an App, search for it on the market.
this is why i did not go after the leaked froyo not only will it mess with your phone but you cant even get the official yet.
Hi all, I have recently flashed my tab with Overcome 1.20 rom (Love it) but it doesn’t include the 'Samsungs Apps' which came with the phone, is there a way to get this back without reflashing?
P.S where would i get games that are meant for the tab that are full screen? android market hasnt really offered much, or i havent been looking in the right places.
Many thanks
I too am in the same situation after flashing with Roto JMIv2. Would never go back, but wouldn't mind some of the Samsung apps which are no longer available. I had about 20 something to choose from, now there is only 2. I'm guessing it's region based, so there must be way of tricking the Samsung app store. Anyone know how to get around this issue?

theres got to be away around this!..I dont want to revert back to the stock rom maybe theres a Sansumg App.apk we could install or ADB it?
I'm going to bump this thread as I figure someone out there knows the solution to this but is not sharing. There are people asking this question in the dev forums as well. I'd post there, but I'm "not allowed" till I fill this forum up with some crap first.

Well, Samsung Apps IS actually included with the ROM, I am guessing maybe something went wrong? I would suggest a complete wipe and do a full Install, see how it goes.
I can assure you however that Samsung Apps is definitely included.
Im using overcome 1.2 and it has the Samsung apps with no problems.

THX in advance

If you installed CWM successfully then I'm afraid you've deleted your existing ROM (AmeriCanAndriod). Unless you had a backup on your SD card via an app (e.g. Titanium Backup) there is no way to recover it as far as I know.
tnx
