A few week ago, I ported my Kindle with Hascode's Ice Cream Sandwich ROM , But now I want to know if I can upgrade to his Jelly Bean ROM without wiping all my data again. Thanks, Aidoboy.

Is there a way to do it with TWRP?

You can backup with TWRP but that does a whole system back up so if you restore from that the ROM you put on will get erased and the old ROM will be back.
What you want is to back up your apps so Titanium Backup is definitely the way to go.

The paid version of Titanium Backup lets you restore an application and its data from a twrp backup. Still, I'd feel safer doing a twrp full backup and having Titanium Backup my apps and data.

Can I install them both at once?

Yeah. TWRP is your recovery. And Titanium Backup is just an app that creates backups (and does some other stuff)

Use the free version of Titanium Backup if you haven't bought it yet. It will backup all your apps to a folder. After that just move the folder to your computer and flash the Jellybean ROM. Then just restore the apps. Simple as that.
You could try a dirty flash (flashing without wiping data) but I would still backup since you're going from 4.0 to 4.1

Yes the recommendation for flash Liberated FR008 is to do a Wipe Data from ClockworkMod before flashing.
You should sync all of your contacts to Gmail using your Google account to preserve them and since you are rooted, you can use Titanium Backup or My Backup Root to save your apps, setting and messages.
Can I flash without wiping data, as the tutorial only says its especially reccomended if im coming from another ROM.
Currently I only have to stock at&T Rom (with some at&t apps removed) installed on my phone

You are coming from a Android 2.1 ROM and flashing an Android 2.2 ROM, so it is a different ROM. This is not a ROM that was made from a 2.1 to 2.2 OTA, so I think the best thing would be to do a rooted backup and then wipe before you flash. I would make a good nandroid backup using ClockworkMod before you flash, too.

What is a rooted backup??
Yeah Ive done a nandroid backup. Is all I need to do is to root with clockwork, then nandroid backup, then install the rom?
I dont need it nand unlocked or anything? Also, is it easy to restore from a nandroid backup?
thanks for your help

A rooted backup would be to install Titanium Backup or My Backup Root to back up your apps, data and settings. You would install these from the Android Market after you have rooted your phone.

No, I suggest that you then backup your apps, data and settings using Titanium or My Backup and then wipe data as per the instructions for flashing.

Yes, when you select the Nandroid option in ClockworkMod, there is a menu selection for both backup and restore. A nandroid backup is a complete backup of your phone that you can restore and go back to if you don't like the new ROM that you flashed. It will restore your phone to the exact point it was before you flashed.

Okay thanks I might try this after work.
Also, waht is the most stable release of Froyo (with HTC Sense) for the Aria?
I've heard that FR008 can have problems with the reception after a flash.
I guess i can always flash it and see what happens and then restore back if i dont like it.

I have not had any reception issues when I flashed Liberated FR008. It runs just fine for me. I have a WiFi connection both at home and at work, so I leave WiFi all the time and I am very pleased with the battery life.
Is 2.3.4 the latest? I want to restore it and root again because my phone is starting to slow down.
Whenever I try to make a nandroid backup, it says error too :S Do I need a lot of space on my SD? or is the backup compressed?

The latest OTA update should be 2.3.4. Latest beta is 4.0.3.
Nandroid backups are usually 150-400MBs. It depends on how many apps you have installed.
I have like 150 apps :O
and say I restore my phone to stock 2.3.4, how do I restore the backup? Do I need to root it,install CWM then restore?

Hey guys, I just did a fresh install of ROM and Kernel, and installed some basic apps.
Does anyone have experience with Titanium Backup ( I got the PRO) on the best way to backup this fresh install.
I'd like to restore to this state whenever a problem occurs.
Thanks for helping me out!!
OH and also, if I was to restore this backup on another ROM that I install, would it restore the ROM no right? sorry if sounds confusing..
:good:

You need to back it up in recovery, not in Titanium.
When you restore, it will return to the exact state of the backup; rom, kernel, messages, everything. Just like it was when you backed it up.

+1 You can backup via recovery all the rom n its stuff.. Titanium backup is just backing n restoring the apps..
You can use titanium backup later when you have installed some apps but to backup the factory settings use recovery

Hmmm...titanium backup is the best for restoring data (only) but don't ever use Nandroid backup to restore your data...you will get bootloop for doing that or you app will tend to FC...
fresh install apps will be the best solutions and use titanium to restore data...
Titanium backup batch backup and batch restore

Clean flash is recommended, since there are a lot of changes.
So I need to install each and every app again is it?

Backup everything using Titanium Backup app. And copy the folder to your PC.. After clean flashing the new room just copy that folder back and install Titanium Backup app in your new ROM. Run the app and restore them back. Make a TWRP (NANDroid) backup just in case anything goes wrong.
