I have a Nexus S 4G running codenameandroid 3.5. I like to check out new roms and the only thing that I haven't been able to speed up after a wipe was to have my SIP -internet calling account settings be automatically re setup after a Titanium restore. Anyone know of a way?
thank you

... yes, right, I need to backup, I know.
The thing is: when I changed my ROM I normally didn't bother to actually reinstall and configure everything as I upgrade/change not really often. Now I wanted to go from ARHD 3.6 to the current 5.x one with actually _no_ trouble if possible. Is there a way to backup just about _everything_ from a running ARHD 3.6 (from Google Mail settings, to SMS, contacts and WLAN APs, ...) and restore it to the newly installed ROM?
Thanks for any hints,
Marc

Google mail is sync'd with Google mail so nothing to do.
Everything else you can use MyBackUp Pro or Sprite backup for settings, sms etc.
Use Titanium for apps.
I have rooted my phone. Wanted to use Titanium Backup. Still running the stock ROM. Now I find myself in the situation to do a reset to change the primary email address. Can the standard method *#*#4636#*#* be used to blank this phone to change the primary email?
If not, what would you suggest.
Thanks - Dan
Settings > accounts > remove your account maybe?
I would like to move from Rubix to Liberty but I was curious, am I able to save ALL of my application settings (ie ADW settings) and transfer between ROMS (home screen and app data staying the same as well) or am I looking a fresh install?
Both Yes and No are the correct answer. Let me explain why:
If You are asking about just plain backups of ROMS so you can test one then go back to another then YES is the answer, You can use bootstrapper as long as you are staying on the same android version; IE froyo 2.2 or Gingerbread 2.3
Now if you are asking about transfering all your apps / data from 1 rom to another in a matter of seconds then no. But to be more honest with you its more of a "kinda"
This is because google automatically saves all your contacts / calender / etc. (main android apps) data to their servers. Motorola ALSO has a backup program that if you are a part of (and your rom supports) will automatically re-download all of your apps you had on your old phone (but not the save data IE saved games, or prefs)
There is however ANOTHER WAY as well: Get titanium backup pro. IF you are rooted (which you should be if you are talking about roms) Get Titanium backup which basically saves all your apps as well as your data in them to your SDCard. This is VERRRRY useful especially if you like to switch between roms frequently like I do.
The only thing it doesnt do is put the icons on your home screen the way they were last time. It just basically re-installs them with the data attached
Hope that helps.
So, Titanium > back everything up > switch to new rom > restore everything ..?

hi all, got a question about a setting in MIUI i can't find. on stock and blur based roms there is an option in settings under privacy (i think) where you can enable or disable the option to back up and restore your settings from google's servers. when i first set up this rom (1.12.9) i enabled the option to backup and restore to google during the wizard, but now I can't find the option to disable it anywhere. does anyone know how to get to it?
btw I'm not talking about the account sync settings, I'm talking about the setting that controls the backup of your personal settings in android including wifi passwords, etc.
Thanks!
Hi,
I also couldn´t find this setting in the latest miui (2.3.23)
is not possible to backup settings and wifi password to google account when using miui?
Hello, now with the ICS nightly roms there is lots of stuff being flashed each 1 or 2 days, is there an option in the android market so when you flash another rom it automatically starts downloading and installing the ones that have been saved in your gmail account?
How can we do this? Thank you!
by the way, the power shortcut that changes 2g/3g network doesnt work, or its too slow anybody else having this issue? on the last quarx nightly!
I use "app backup & restore" save ur apps apk. Saves all of them. On SD or whatever. Once u restore back up. Works well

If your flashing up between the 2 cm9 builds then don't do a data wipe and your fine, tbh I am just downloading them and flashing them, done 4 in the last 2 days with a straight install zip file and reboot, just remember to do your nandroid every now and then
teamwork makes the dream work
Use titanium backup. Restores both app+data

As far as I know, I was switching between Quarx CM9 builds and after flashing the gapps, when you start your phone it will bring up a welcome screen where you set your account. After finishing all the steps, immediately as you pass this and made a wi-fi connection the apps will automatically be downloaded and installed without asking you a thing. One thing that I observed is that if you switch between Quarx and Epsilon builds (being pretty different roms) you won't get your apps restored.
If none of what I've said applies you can install the apps guys mentioned above and backup them on your SD Card. I personally use "App backup and restore" in combination with "Titanium Backup" . Hope my answer helps!
I use titanium backup and it works really great

spidykwya is right it should prompt you at the start to sign in to Gmail account and your previous apps should be ready to be downloaded & installed. Saying that you need to have selected the backup option for you Gmail in settings. But in my opinion you need to use titanium backup, it is easy to use.

+1 when you allow your Gmail account to back up your apps, you use up data connection if you are not connected to wifi. Plus it takes so much longer than just using titanium backup.
