Yes, Titanium will save your levels, etc. You wont have to kill everyone a second time!

i gave you thanks for the reply, but are we 100+25% sure it will save my level it taken literally hours to get where i am in this game.

I have used Titanium backup many times on my Acer a500 and sgsii, and it has worked every time i have restored. Only restore user apps, not system apps. They can create trouble for you.

I personally use my root backup. Has worked every time. If you want to be 125% sure, backup with both. You can then backup & restore app & data on that game and should be golden.
Good luck!

Thanks for the replies and peace of mind guys guess ill be trying to flexreaper rv3 extreem edition after all,
any of you guys on this ive had 2 peeps say sods back but i think its from incorrect wipes what do ya reckon?

Probably not wiping problem. I have had that problem in AOKP for a500 and cm9 for my Galaxy s ii, and i tried all wipes without fixing it. Probably a good idea to try another one.
Thor's ICS ROM seems like the most stable to me of the custom roms.
You can also look for the rooted official roms. I tried one, but was a bit slow...

cheers but i gotta admit im not stepping away from flexreaper . civato really made my tab "my device" lol it doesn't leave my side since i went with f'reaper

I agree, I use FlexReaper Extreme and my tablet is in my hand everywhere I go...I've not had ANY issues with FR Extreme and haven't seen SOD for a LONG time, especially since the "official" ROM dropped.
Good luck & Have fun,

well if your totatly nervous about doing it, you can make a backup with TB and then backup the folder in the (internal)sd card, it should be in a folder like android/data I think do some digging you will find it in there

Does this work for like restaurant story or bakery story? Because the data goes on online servers so I don't know if i t worked or not

i would have thought if its a login web server game if you download onto another device, sign in and see if your stats are the same. if so then you can safely uninstall and re-install.

You could also use DataSync & save locally or to your Dropbox if you really want redundancy. I have never had TiBu fail me.

Modaco alpha3 test rom is up

Here is the link to the page Thanx P!! SCROLL DOWN TO POST 59!!! No Wifi though...Be thankful folks. ...And yes IT IS A WORKING DESIRE ALPHA ROM....NO BOOT LOOPS FOR ME
To the Mods....Just sharing the love
Something to live for...
Okay So of course if your here is beacuse your waiting for modaco to release the new alpha, well alpha three was released as you see above and with the alpha2 boot image all the communications are locked down.
Here are some screen shots of this Beauty. I will Spread them around once everything is up and running. Also I have placed the alpha2 img.. for you to download...
Just unzip this and flash this via fastboot only after you have just flashed the alpha** rom.. K?

Its loads the flash but so far i can't get a video to play. It says Video unavailable or something. Im sure someone will get a way to work. I don't think it will be too smooth though honestly.
Little By little we pile up in here now, and THIS IS GENERAL SO MOD, LEAVE IT BE.... Now, I say that it is a good move.. I notcied that if i flash the alpha2 boot it works as its on but if you reboot were back to the white screen so, guess this is being worked out.
Besides that.. I kept a Nadroid of the one without alpha2 and then run the one with it. I have not switched back to another rom SINCE!!!
Addition: If you have the alpha 3 rom and you flash the alpha2 img.. you will end up back at the white screen upon reboot.. No biggie, just have to revert to your alpha3 nandroid (WHICH SHOULD HAVE MADE BY NOW) and flash it again. So runn it lightly until P comes through tomorrow, well a few hours for him, and see where this goes...

Nandroid Back Up
Okay, My wife sort of talked to me and made sense.. Instead of doing it with everything I will get it to where you have to sign in and download all your apps or crawl back from SD. I will get a Nandroid Up in the Morning as soon as I see something from P. This way you could have it this simple way too. I guess i will be helping him out with a simple one click push of his mods...

How would this be different from having to wipe and flash the ROM? The main reason I am saying this, is because on the G1, restoring nandroids from another G1 would result in some hardware issues sometimes, so I wonder if this would persist on the N1.

The Battle of the ROMs

With the surge of some ROMs for our devices, and though they're related between each other to a certain degree (save for CM7), the inevitable question surges: which one has the upper hand? The stock ROM is vastly improved since 1.06 and Ganjaman's add-ons make it more mature, the MoDaCo ROM has the advantage of having been the first modded ROM, CyanogenMod7, thanks to Apache14's work, has made a stellar appearance and we actually get the official updates (such as the ones that mad-murdock presented us yesterday), Corvus has been updating his new ROM quite rapidly and it works nicely, like Fuji-Vega does... We're lucky that we're not in want of possible choices! But which is yours?
Thread moved to General.
For me corvus. It's so quick and stable, and is the only one, where's my usb 3g huawei running. Did I told you, that it's really fast?
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
I agree totally, corvus is so quick. I can't wait until it can be combined with mad murdoch's HC tweaks, the vega will be Ninja then!

@logseman
great idea for a thread. I'm considering starting a thread on a similar line, thought id check in and avoid toe treading and see if there is a need for it.
As a newb to vega android modding, its great that there is such a wealth of info and advice, but sometimes its not clear or comprehensive (at least in one place! )
I'd like to run a "what vega setup is best for me" thread. The aim being to allow users to show exactly what setup they are running, how it performs, pro's and cons, bugs etc.
By using a standard template, we can see what works and why. We can make direct comparisons between setups without searching through threads for hours.
Users can then copy setups and try if they think they like it. Might also provide devs useful concise feedback to help them progress roms / kernels etc.
If it already exists, feel free to point me in the right direction whilst mocking my newbe stupidity, but ive read and re read the main threads and can't see it.
If you're reading this and think it would be useful, let me know, with suggestions and i'll get the ball rolling.
I.A.O.
Edit: if you want to help or collaborate, pm me.
I'm not sure how setting up a "standard configuration" would be of benefit. Primarily because of two issues: first, the same custom ROM can have dramatic performance differences between one device and the other (I am a ROM tester for Galaxy S, people claim battery lives of 4 days which I've never heard about); and second, the point of Android is that it actually doesn't force any standardisation as of now: I don't see why users would tend to a certain set up which has been done by another person instead of experimenting themselves.
Don't take me wrong, I appreciate that you take interest in this thread, but I fail to see the point of your suggestion. Android has no predefined "set-ups" as far as I know.
Yeah, i get your point. For me too its all about modding and tweaking. But i also got the impression that some people just want to get there device configured in a way that works for them quickly.
Im certainly Not saying lets all set up the same, if we wanted that we'd just bite the apple right!
I just think it would be useful to see at a glance what is working for people. I.e - "i need a rom with no lag on my vega - ah looks like cm7 ttrc2 has lag issues", without having to read 178 pages to find out.
I guess it would be more like an "at a glance" guide to roms for each device.
I used Modaco since i got my Mobii/Vega, but yesterday i flashed clockwork recovery and started using Titanium backup for real, so now i am testing some ROMs and sofar i like fuji-vega the most, fast and smooth, only some lag in appmenu when i have the device rooted.
I spent a long time using mcr8 eventually with buzz kernel but I then got bored and tried cm7 which I loved but just could not stand all the lag when scrolling etc.
I am now using corvus which seems to work well for me. I hope to switch back to cm7 when it improves a bit.
I love CM7 on my phone and would love it on the Vega, but the wifi troubles it has at this moment on the Vega made me switch to first Modaco and than Corvus. The only bad thing I can say about Corvus is that I personally would prefer Gingerbread green icons aboive the blue ones in Corvus

I am in a similar position to you. I have only installed Modaco R8 and not really used Titanium Backup nor Clockwork Recovery. I find R8 lags after extended use (requiring a reboot) so I am interesting in changing to Corvus. I have a few questions.
What is the best way to move from Modaco to Corvus?
Can I use Clockwork Recovery/Titanium to ease the pain of transition?
How do I install CWR?
Is it best to go back to stock and then install Corvus? If so, will I lose all of my customisations?
Thanks in anticipation of a response.

You would want to wipe when doing an install of a different rom anyway, so you will lose settings, most will be restored by Ti Backup though.
> I would do a Ti Backup of everything, then a nandroid backup before flashing.
Sorry, how do I do that? I have Modaco R8 with Titanium Backup installed. How do I use Ti to "backup everything", what is a "nandroid backup", and how do I restore stuff after installing a new ROM?
Cheers.
you can find this information quite easily by searching
ti backup press menu>batch>backup all user apps and system data
Then after installing cwm (download zip open
cd /path/to/folder
./install.sh for mac and linux (make sure to downlod my fixed scripts second post)
or
click install.bat for windows
then click recovery app use volume buttons and power to select backup and restore)
wipe data instal rom
ti backup from market
menu>batch>restore all user apps and system data (modaco is similar to corvus so should be safe to restore everything if things start crashing repeat install and untick all apps that are already installed in ti backup)
there you go you have transitioned
sorry if this sounds patronising it sounded like you were a noob so i included great detail
p.s. this will all become second nature after a while
hmmm atm i'm using CM7, and after switching to launcher pro it's so fast !!
adw launcher is such a crappy launcher (sry, my opinion)
anyways, my flash is pretty laggy due to the unstable nightly builds, I mean they're not in the fully power.. but I will wait, <3 cyanogem
I wish we had the HC update soon, rly =(
Ive been using Fuji-Vega since april and applying updates when they become available.
Really happy with it and cant complain. Does what i need it to do.
Very quick to use.
Corvus5 for me right now. it's stable and fast as, with oc I have been using cm7 until a few days ago and will no doubt give the latest a shot before the weekends gone, it now has oc kernel
I can't use custom ROMs because nor CM neither Corvus doesn't let my Huawei e150 connect to internet. When I'll solve this problem CM'll my choice.
CM7 for me. I've tried a few but CM7 just feels/looks slicker.

[ROM][B158][Clean ROM][Froyo 2.2.1][Overclocked+rooted]

Hi everybody,
I made a bloatware-free stock Froyo ROM based on B158 which includes overclocked kernel from hiapk-forums.
It's rooted. Nothing special at all but may be useful for ppl who just got their new phone delivered. This ROM will wipe your /cust_data + /data +/system. So use at your own risk and backup important data first (NANDROID).
Everything works as expected.
Credits: stockwell, Huawei, GoAPK, Koush, CM-Team and anyone else whom I forgot.
Download + detailed Instructions
Will probably buy the phone tomorrow just to fool around with it, really appreciated what you did there!
On a side question: the bootloader is not locked on this device or is it?
how much OC?

OK so its in Chinese with no setup, and no Market, so this is a good start but not a complete rom at all. I will go back to the 135 build untill one that comes out that actually is complete and not just one page of apps. Very Very important for me to have Market etc etc..

I just flashed this rom, and tho it did start with chinese characters somehow it changed to english...dunno how that happened as another poster said he installed a language pack, but mine did so automatically.
as far as the market etc is concerned you need to download the gapps zip using the link the original poster provided. It is an older version of the market and i'm not too sure how to update it...being fairly new to the smartphone scene would anyone care to share???
thanks dibb
you will have to install GAPPS from CyanogenMod Wiki as stated in the original thread (see link on 1st post). Afterwards most GAPPS will update themselves once you are online or use market
getting force close android.process.acore
what i think i did
full wipe
flashed the b158
booted phone and turned off mobile data and set up wifi
booted back into recovery
mounted /system
installed gapps.zip
booted back into phone
signed into google
restored titanium backup
all was good for about 5 mins then constant force closes so bad it was a mission to power off. I full wiped again and reflashed but it happened again??? So for round 3 i am not gonna use titanium but manually download all my apps again and see what happens.
can anyone suggest where the problem may be??

Hi everyone, i'm wonder if with this room my Huawei will be unlocked, because my phone it's unavailable for use it with other company, and i don't know how to unlock it. Your room seems pretty good, congrats!!

[Q] rooted.....now?

So I have rooted for the first time, I flashed a ROM.
ok so i don't notice much difference.
So I'm guessing maybe its just the ROM I am using, I wont mention it by name as I'm sure the dev. Put alot of time and effort to create it and its just not what I'm looking for.
Other than speeding up the performance a little, what was the root suposed to do?
And
from what I can see ( and I'm not very experienced in this stuff, I'm learning ) most Roms are just stock with stuff riped out. What else is possible? I wanted to set myself apart from my stock user friends.
Why did you do it if you didn't already know the answer? Anyways, you can overclock, undervolt, have ROMs like MIUI and CM7, free wifi tethering, and more stuff.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
You probably shouldn't have rooted if you didn't know what you were doing. As they always say, "If you have to ask what rooting IS, you probably shouldn't be looking up how to do it yet."
ok maybe I worded that wrong. Yes I know that I can overclock, Already done. And I have a rom on it. I guess what I'm asking is what diffferent roms have to offer.
I'm just learning and don't completely under stand all the technical stuff and the slang. They all basicly say the same thing. Faster and longer battery.
It really comes down to customization. A big one is boot times being much faster - this really seems popular, which I obviously understand. Some people compress all of the apps so the ROMs can really get down to like 200MB and the ROM is usually much better on memory in these cases. Another huge thing is custom kernels (overclocking) and being able to remove unwanted bloatware with system applications. There's apps on the market that only work on rooted devices, such as custom recovery which allows you to take a backup and then restore in the event you screw something up and get boot loops, and apps like cachemate and one of my new favs, the Reboot.apk. It's really limitless. Oh yeah, you can also customize font colors and notification colors, battery (and other) icons, messing with the build.prop, you are able to change certain behaviors of the phone/tablet, and with TrevE's apps, you can find out if your phone/tablet is spying on you. I recently deleted a lot of logs and made those files and folders read only so no more logs could be made. And finally, you customize your boot animation, which is really cool.
Thank you that's what I'm looking for.
So if I wanted to say change some icons, ist the same as flashing the rom? Can I download icons and install the same way? I'm Not ready to make my own or anything lol
Well, you can download full icon packs on the Market. Some are paid, some are free. There are other applications like "BetterCut" or something like that that allow you to change the icons. I'm not sure if you need a custom launcher to do that though, as I've always changed my icons inside of a custom launcher like Panda Home. Panda Home actually has a built in custom icon changer! Not sure if it's compatible with the tablet though, but I know ADW is. Good luck!
Perhaps, you should just flash back to a stock acer rom.
But before you do, take a good benchmark on your battery life.
Then flash back.
Sometimes, rooting is just not for everybody.
Ok one more question.
I have done a full back up, if i want to try a different rom, i flash the same way. If i dont like it i can restore using the backup i made and everything goes back to how it is now? Including how my home screen is now and widgets?
Thank you everyone!
Yes if you did the backup inside of cwm.. I used this feature alot when i was messing with the UI Of my tablet.. NOW all my icons text boarders all match the nice burgundy color case i have my tablet in
I Would try to restore your backup to be sure it does restore before flashing a new rom..
just make sure you fallow all instructions by the Rom Developer.Doing this and you should be fine..
If you brick your tablet you can Blame me .......
Happy Flashing...... STOCK IS BORING.
Ok great thank you
Just to be clear, i hate to asume but cwm is clockwork mod right?

Generally, this is correct.
Each Rom cook usually posts the procedures needed to install their rom. Usually, game data, downloaded files and such, is saved. Usually, but not always. Things on the ext sd card are not effected by this process. Usually the procedures are the same. Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache. Sometimes we like to throw in some formats. Especially with the newer roms.
Your full system recovery, should be done through your CWM recovery or RA Recovery, whichever you use, and NOT using an internal application. And this should be done before you install a rom. It will save your current system, widgets, etc, so your system is just like it was before you installed a different rom.
ok this might be a little pointless but I still cannot find a working method to root stock 3.2 help please

Hi all!
I would be very happy if you all could share your ideas and knowledge with me regarding
List of things to do after buying a new Android Tablet
I am expecting my GT-N8000 next week and I want to start on the right footing with my new device.
It could be a list of do this and do that....step by step in order of precedence.
ex:
1. Disable UAC on Windows
2. Install Samsung Kies software on PC
3. Backup current/original Bootloader and save it on your PC for fallback purposes
4. Backup current/original ROM and save it on your PC for fallback purposes
5. Copy CWM or whatever...on your SD Card.
6. Boot up by pressing this and that button....
7. and the list goes on and on....(with all of your help!)

Hi, thanks for the suggestion.
yeah...I've already ordered a black rotating leather case, a scratch guard and a handsfree set.
I plan to flash the amazing Revolution HD 9.0!
I've never done anything like this and am hesitant a bit though.
thanks again!!

I'm actually running Revolution! Fantastic rom. I didn't have any trouble flashing it, but I'm sure some people have. Just make sure to do a backup before flashing

Thanks anyway.
I need to really confirm this before I flash it.
Oh...I am such a big noob.
Can you pls look around the Revolution HD 9.0 thread and and confirm if you got time? My net is so slow and I am on a win mobile phone...hard to go through 200 pages!
Greatly appreciate you for your concern.

Yeah, Just a sec
EDIT: I think it's working. I didn't find anyone that was having a problem anymore. The rom is based on the 3G version firmware, so I doubt you would have trouble.

I have rooted it finally using the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 ToolKit (I chose TWRP custom recovery as it is touch/button based)
Then I did a full backup of the device using Nandroid TWRP
Then, just to be safe, I also did an EFS backup using EFS Professional.
I am just playing around and installing apps and games before I flash the Revolution HD 9.0 rom.
Thanks for the help!
