Well... When you make a nand, backup the SD ext for that Rom. You can't keep apps when switching from sense to reloaded since, obviously, sense stuff wont work with aosp. Also, before restoring, wipe SD ext and all that stuff. Not sure if it does anything, but i always do that before banding back to a rom

What i do is,when i install a new rom,i set everything up,no tweaks and themes yet,just the settings and gmail,crap like that,i update my apps and then i nandroid everything,i even do compression,takes up less space,then i start adding tweaks,one by one,then i nand again and delete the old one,i do this procedure,until i have my rom where i want it.
When you do a nand leave the top three or whatever checked, check SD ext., and uncheck android secure. The next time you restore that nand it will be as you left it before you flash.

Backup everything except cache if you want to restore to exactly the same thing you have when you run the backup

If you don't back up .android make sure you have moved all apps to the phone or those apps won't work on restore. I have been told you don't need to wipe before a restore but I always do.

Well i'm not sure who told you that,but if you dont wipe before a restore,theres a possibilties of having issues from the other rom.I recommend a full wipe before anything but mods,updates or Gapps.
I have heard before that the wiping scripts are built into the restore process, though I don't know how true that is. I have never wiped before a restore and have never had the slightest problem no matter what rom I'm going to or from.

I always wipe caches and temp files on a restore. Better safe than sorry, right?

I just updated my aria to the latest 2.2 liberated Rom. I installed it this morning and now just realized it said to wipe data before I installed it. But I didn't. I just plain out installed it. It seems like its running fine. But what do I do? Do I still need to wipe data or something?

If it were me, I would do a backup and wipe it then re-install, but If you are not experiencing any issues, then it does not seem like you need to. If you do encounter any issues, Then definitely do it.
No need to wipe data if you are going from a liberty to liberty, if you went to liberty to cm6 then yes you would need to wipe data..

Don't think too complicated for this, if you don't have problem, then let it be.
To tell you to wipe, is to lower the chance to have problem.
It's just same as upgrading/change of different OS of you PC.
e.g. One maybe painless from XP -> Vista without format, the other maybe turns out blue screen.
Sorry, I am new and maybe this is a silly question. Can I flash a new rom without loosing my apps and their settings and my games and their saves ? Like backing-up all these.

If you are rooted use titanium backup from market, but the fact you asked this indicated you need to study more before you start flashing roms
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
hahaha. Thank you very much for your quick answer ! Maybe you are right. The fact is that I already flashed my phone 2-3 times but never interested in backing-up. On the other hand now, I have spent a lot of time with it and I do not want to loose my apps. Is there something specific I should do with titanium back-up ? or I just back-up with this app and then, after I flash, I restore ? ( sorry haven' t used it before )
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Yeah you just backup before flashing, restore after. Bear in mind I don't think it is compatible between cm7/miui and samsung - based roms.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Well restoring app data can cause problems, but that is depending on what rom you are flashing to and from, and like any app you need to learn to use it I recommend paid version as it allows you to batch restore and backup

thank you slaphead20 and jaju123 very much ! I will try to save anything I can with titanium. flashing is much more important for me.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Some games store their save files on the SD card (data or similar). So if you flash a new ROM, all you need to do is reinstall the game and you can start where you left.
Thank you !
ive never had any problems backing up and restoriing ONLY user downloaded apps between cm7, stock and miui using titanium. the only thing which would cause you problems would be restoring system apps..
if you wish to backup messages also and use them with other firmwares u could also use GoSMS, which has a backup function
Didn't see this question asked in My Touch forum so here goes.
I backed up all my apps with TB and flashed from Energy Rom to Blackwings ICSandwhich. Full wipes and the whole 9. When on BW's ROM I can't get TB to restore apps. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Don't install backups from GB to ICS or vice versa.
It causes problem.

You can restore apps, just not data. Except for ics only apps, don't restore those on a ginger bread rom.

Well, ok, yes. Sorry. I use titanium to restore my data. If I want an app by itself I get it from the market to ensure the latest version. Silly me.

What is it that you did? I did the exact same thing as you and have run into the same problem.
Status bar disappeared and I get a message saying android UI has stopped working. I did a factory restart but still no difference.

I think he should tell us the last thing he did before the error's occurrence. @5warafat1 What was the last thing you had done before this error appeared?

lol, yeah I suppose it did.
I think I inferred that this was at the inception of the flash, and not something that just started happening.
He did factory reset and it is still doing it, which tells me it must just be the ROM.
Re: Status bar disappeared
Didn't do anything. I think i just tried to open an app and it suddenly closed and I got this error message, then status bar went.

You could try to just dirty flash your existing ROM, or is this an SD ROM?

Flash the same rom again from recovery without wiping anything.
Edit: I was too late.
I wouldn't want to flash a rom because in the past I nearly ended up bricking my phone. I got Android on this phone through someone else. Isn't there another way around this, something more simple

Nope.
Since the problem originated without apparent reason, we don't know what caused it; we can't really tell you how to fix it without a re-flash.
And by the way, you can never brick your phone through CWM. So just re-flash the ROM. Besides, that "someone" had already done the hard part. He installed everything for you, now you just need to put the zip on your sdcard, boot into recovery and "install zip from sdcard".
So can i install any rom or just the same one and is there any thread on this.

You can flash any ROM and you will not brick your phone. You literally cannot brick an HD2 with anything android related, ONLY with radio stuff and WM6.5, so just read up on how to flash one and flash another ROM.

if something has been installed into the system partition, then it will still be there after a hard reset. Example, if you install a data2ext script, then do a hard reset, it will still be there when the phone restarts.

Yeah, that's why I told him to dirty flash the same ROM, but he has no clue which ROM he flashed, so at this point I think he should just find a ROM he thinks he'll like and clean flash it.
As long as he's messing with Android he can't do any actual harm.

What I meant is, you can install your previous ROM without having to do anything to your device aside of putting the previous ROM on the sd and flashing.
However, that DOES NOT mean you can install any other ROM without modifying the partitions.
And yes, there's a thread for this, it's called search.
P.S: Pay attention to the italicized keywords.
Do this as the easiest thing,
go to settings > about phone, and scroll all the way till you see the kernel version and build version.
Take a screenshot of that and upload it if you can.
This will tell us what ROM you have and you can dirty flash it.
