How to update CM9 Nightly when newer versions are available without having to flash the new ROM, So that i can keep my settings and apps as it was before.
Any better ways than backing up and restore.
I think flashing between CM9 nightlies doesn't require wipe data. You can flash normally but if you change between ROMs or different android version (2.3 going to 4.0) you need to wipe.
Also, if you want to backup, I suggest Go Backup or Titanium Backup

Hello can anyone explain to me how to backup and after that restore data oh my android
Now i use TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 but now there is 4 versions new and i want to update.I read posts and people say that it's better to make fresh clean install,not update.
Ok i will.but cai i restore my aplications after that or i make install all of them again
Thank you
Do normal android backup via cwm, then wipe everything, flash new rom and after that go to the advanced restore and restore only data. But of course you can flash new rom directly and you will see if it's ok .
If it will be unsuccesful, you still have your backup ..
If you want to only restore your apps on the newer version, you could use Titanium Backup (from Android Market) to back up and restore the apps and their data caches.
I would first do a cwm backup, then back up the apps and their data with Titanium. Then flash the new ROM. Try first doing a custom restore -->data only, and if that doesn't work out for you, you can do a wipe and then install Titanium and at least restore your apps and their data caches.

Hi, I am currently using the latest CM version, however I have decided to restore my froyo backup, is it as simple as, going on ROM manager and restoring or will i.e. the CM kernel, and other CM parts still exist when I have restored, Thanks
you need to do a full wipe/factory reset before restoring the backup and no cm "parts" will be left
So I have a Droid 2 which I rooted and have run Apex RC3 on since last fall. It recently has slowed down a bit and I have wanted to try switching to CyanogenMod7, but the whole concept of downgrading and then rerooting and then finally flashing the ROM seemed quite complicated.
Is that in fact what I have to do? I'm on 2.3.3, not 2.3.4 (I know there's a problem with downgrading from that), but is it not possible to simply flash CM7 from my current situation? It seems kind of redundant to unroot my phone just to reroot it again.
Finally, I am using Titanium Backup to store some data and I have a few questions. First of all, which one of the many contacts options is the one that actually stores my contact data? I would prefer not to backup and then restore all five or six of them. In addition, if I am forced to flash back to stock and unroot, will anything happen to my backups (obviously I can't use Titanium Backup while unrooted, I mean once I finally reroot and get CM7).
Thanks in advance for any help!
Find the version of CM7 for Ginger Bread (2.3.3)
Get the zip, and GApps if necessary
Place it on the root directory so it will be easy to locate
Go into your contacts and export them to your SD Card
Boot into Recovery
Wipe Data, Wipe Cache, go to Advanced then Wipe Dalvik Cache
Go to Mounts and Storage, Format System, then Mount System
Install zip from sd card, choose zip from sd card, select and let it run (repeat for Gapps if necessary)
Reboot
Actually it is possible to install cm7 over 2.3.3 you just have to use the unofficial cm7 on rootzwiki

So pretty much, I can just flash any of these ROMs the same way I did Apex (in recovery, wipe the data and cache and then install .zip for ROM and gapps) so long as I'm running the right OS/have the right kernel? I noticed on rootzwiki that there is actually a version of CM9 up, could I do that the same way too?
Just some info in case it's needed:
System Version: 4.5.153.A955-continuous.Verizon.en.US
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: BP_C_01.09.13P
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-gca08d89

Yes, you can flash CM7/9, MIUI, Gummy, etc as you did before. Just make sure if you flash any actual 4.0 roms such as CM9/MIUI V4 you format and then re-mount system. There are slight differences in GB and ICS that apparently necessitate this because anyone who has skipped this step has ended up having to SBF back to GB and start over.
Perfect, thanks. One last question for now though (I'll flash later today): will the data I'm saving on Titanium Backup transfer over to an ICS rom? I'm saving my messaging data and some data for games, and I'm not sure whether they are applicable on the new OS.
As far as I know yes, that will work with TB, but you also might want to download an SMS backup app from the Play Store quickly just in case.
Just wanted to say thanks to MissionImprobable and Albinoman for their help--I'm successfully running CM9 on my Droid 2!
actually i want to ask,did i have to wipe all the data,cache partition or dalvik if i want to flash to wajk ui room (miui) from miui by sbasil .. it from the same miui base right? i don't know if gotta wipe or not?
Backup the data with MIUI Backup application and then install wajkui after do wipe data/factory set. If you install the WajkUI,restore the datas with MIUI Backup Application.

i have done what u've told,but after i restore all the system data,its seems that after unlock the lockscreen,the phone will boot,its kinda loop
Please have a look again the rom description... as far as I know Sbasil made 2 miui roms (32 & 35 based kernel). Later on he only supported the 32 kernel and left the last. The wajkui by forumber2 is based on 35 kernel, so you have to upgrade your phone first into official GB which has to the same kernel... just take a look at the list of u8800 thread in the development section

When changing ROMs, I always use Titanium Backup Pro to backup and restore my data.
When changing your ROM, I always wipe my things. This way, I can make sure that there are no files left in my phone from the previous ROM. This prevents any problems with any ROM that is being flashed.
I hope I've helped.
thanks a lot for all the advice,now i can use it the rom!
Hello people. I have a problem that I think is very important.
I can not restore Nandroids roms based on TouchWiz 4.3. I can`t get it from Philz and Samerd recoverys, both in their latest versions.
Restoring the nandroids, boot the system, but all processes are stopped, and makes the phone unusable.
This problem does not exise in Nandroids of Cyanogenmod and MIUI 4.2.
This problem is very annoying, it does not allow to try Custom Roms, and then get back to my daily use Rom.
Sorry
