Does rooting affect the way the device performs ? Everything is still smooth, but I get about 1 or 2 crashes a day. Does rooting have anything to do with this ?
It shouldn't, unless you tinkered with system. Which apps are crashing?

Regular apps, no pattern. Last I remember was facebook before I went asleep yesterday. All I did after rooting my device is install these apps:
-Nexus 4 Display (for tinkering with RGB)
-SuperSU
-Titanium Backup

Hi all, encouraged by all the positive comments about JPK I decided to go on and install it.
All went well, rooted without trouble then went back to the stock kernel. I restored all the apps and system data with Titanium Backup and suddenly the process com.android.systemui (the top taskbar) crashed. I rebooted the phone but the error stayed.
I tried reflashing but this time I installed the apps from scratch and used Titanium to restore the apps data, after that the system responded very stable until an hour ago when the com.android.systemui error and crash appeared again.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any fixes?
I was on JPY before, I guess I'll try JS8 or go back to JPY
Thanks

never restore system data unless whatever ur running is the same thing you were running when you did the backup.
I absolutely agree with you. That's why I flashed again with no system data restore. But the process crashed once more.
Thanks for your input Runedrune
Any other thoughts?

But did you wipe everything before/after the flash?

Yes, everything but the (obviously) external sd card.
The only thing I didn't do was repartition. Do you think that could fix it?

Try repartition. I did with 512 pit and no problems installed this way on 6 phones.
Good luck.

This to me seems like a problem with Titanium Backup: because both times you experienced it after using it, and no one else here have reported anything like that with JVK.

Best thing for contacts is to sync with Google. As soon as you sign in to market after wiping and flashing things all contacts are restored. Clean and simple and always on hand if you lose your phone.

Read this post:

It explains everything related to the backup with TB and why you're experiencing this error.
It happened to me exactly the same..its because you used Titanium and restored system data.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I've had the same issues with TB, i used it in the beginning. But now i just keep a list of have-to-have apps and i sync my calendar & contacts with google.
I'm also running on 2.3.3, it runs much faster and smoother than 2.2, some lags but a lot less then stock 2.2.

Ok, I'll give it Google sync a try and backup my data using other means. Does anyone know how long does it take to make a full backup via Google?
And will this include wifi and apn settings?
Thanks again

As far as i know, but i could be wrong, you can only sync calendar & contacts via Google. So settings of your phone won't be backed up.
Success!! Thank you all for your suggestions. Gingerbread works smoothly now. Working through the first battery depleting cycles now, time will tell.
Sadly my car home app from samsung for the vibrant car dock doesn't work anymore. It does trigger car mode but it won't play the music through the dock's line out nor keep the screen on. Anyone else experienced this?
Maybe wait for a Gingerbread supported version of the app?
Thanks once more

Does it get deleted though? I.e. does it free up memory?

Yeah, but just one thing, not everything is bloat, and blocking it is sometimes, or most times becomes an obsession rather than necessity.

Nope it doesn't free up memory. It's still there but unusable. Btw this option has been available in android since ICS, nothing new.

Simple proof of concept
do a benchmark
disable majority of heavy apps
benchmark again
again this tip will help people who does not want to root
Hey, I'm new to android (own all apple gear, iPhone, iPad, ATV ect.) I just purchased a nexus 7 about a month ago and am pretty comfortable with it now. I rooted and unlocked and am wondering how I make a full system back up. I have been reading web pages and forms for days and found thousands of methods but most require a insane amount of steps and various programs. I'm just wondering if someone can let me know of a app that allows a complete backup (ie. All my apps, games and saves, settings, screen layout) kind of like a iCloud backup.
P.S. I'm aware of titanium backup, from what I'm reading all this app does is back up apps/games and their settings/saves along with everything else out there... I want to save everything ! Including my screen setup, widgets, settings, everything
Thx !

Titanium backup, save your apps with your apps data.
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
But does titanium back up settings...like home screens set up for example?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Use a custom recovery like twrp or cwm,easiest full backup ever.If you want to be able to update or change rom with same apps and data after install then titanium is a god send.

Of course, titanium backup apps and it's data. Means, all your setting or score (games) will be backed up.

I'm happy with twrp it handles the encryption does everything I need
Hi, Sorry if a bit of a noob question but is it safe to remove stock apps after rooting phone? Stuff like currents etc.etc. Thanks.
Depends on what app. Currents should be fine. Most of the Google apps should be removable with no repercussions.

Get Titanium and just freeze them. They don't take up that much space. That may prevent problems down the road when the next update comes along.
don't need Titanium to freeze them. can easily disable apps from app drawer - manage apps. also safe to disable are Chinese, Japanese and Korean keyboards and all those live wallpapers.

So I rooted my device for the first time a few weeks ago (hallelujah!) I found a few root apps, I know about the famous root apps(Tit. Backup, Greenify, setcpu, etc.) but I was wondering if there are any underated root apps?

Airdroid is kind of cool. It allows you to control your Android from a computer.

I like Light Manager. It lets you set the notification LED color and blinkiness, or lack of blinkiness (i.e. solid), for notifications from different apps.

There are tons and tons of under-rated root apps and even apps that don't require root. You'll have to kind of discover those as you go.
But if you're not on a custom ROM, with root, you can remove bloatware!
