Recently I noticed after making a back up it's not saved. I get no errors but it's not in my clockworkmod/backups folder. Can anyone help?

What version of CWM? Do you have anything in that folder? Do you have a folder named blobs in the CWM folder?

Yes, that is because in 4.2 you need to look under /data/media/clockworkmod.

Is there a paranoid android backup similar to the AOKP backup? Would have asked in the paranoid thread but I don't have enough posts..
Thanks!

Can you explain us a little? What do you mean a backup? You mean the rom zipped where you can flash with Recovery? Yes.
Anyone?

Are you referring to making a nandroid backup in recovery, or backing up the home screens and stuff for your rom from the AOKP settings?

Dude, you have to elaborate on what you mean by backup.
Do you mean what CharliesTheMan said? Or what jamesst20 said?

he's most likely looking for the same thing that aokp has in the rom settings... and I do not know the answer to that because I don't do paranoia as it will destroia
but pretty sure he's talking about those special paranoia settings.

There is a pa backup in the settings menu, pa settings, backup and restore. Backs up the pa settings obviously

Sorry.. Got my drink on after I posted this. Yeah, like a complete back up and restore of all my home screens and settings when a flash an update..

I ran a couple aokp ROMs on my Gnex and they have an app that saves everything.. I guess I could use titanium, its been a while since I used it though. I don't think it saves home screens, does it?

So this saves everything? So when I flash an update I can restore all my settings?

Yes. It saves all the paranoid settings for each app. I don't think it backs up home screen layouts though, and it definitely doesn't back up apps or data. Usually I dirty flash updates to Paranoid though, so my home screens and apps aren't touched. I just wipe cache and dalvik, then flash the update and gapps. Then I restore my paranoid settings with the backup that we're talking about.

Make a Nanroid Backup, that will get you backed up everything you need.

Best bet is to install nova launcher or apex launcher, setup your screens how you like them, then back it up in the app. Regardless of what you flash you can restore your layout when you redo the launcher app.

Yes it runs very well. The only time I do a full wipe is when I'm changing ROMs. This strategy has worked well for me so far.

Just did it.. Everything seems to be working OK.. If you do a dirty flash, there really isn't a need to back up anything is there?
Thanks!

Well, like mamba_nz said, a nandroid backup can never hurt. I also use Titanium Backup to back up my apps and data.
But to answer your question, unless something goes wrong, no you shouldn't have a need to back up anything.

For some reason I can't find the backup I made in the clockworkmod folder... Am I missing something? Thanks for any help..
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Your backup is still in the old place (where pre-4.2 saved it). As 4.2 has multi-user support you now see /sdcard/0/xxx which CWM doesn't see
So how would we go about restoring it?

If I use the native Linux installer to put Ubuntu on my new n7 will i lose android permanently or can I revert back to android if I don't like it?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
You can revert back. It's explained on their site (Ubuntu's Wiki for the Nexus 7 Installer).

I don't see why not. I'd backup your ROM, then copy your backup to your computer (or entire internal sd), install Ubuntu for N7. To revert, reflash factory images and re-root, flash recovery, wipe and restore backup.
I'm not sure if it wipes out your recovery or not, I am assuming it does.

Looks like fun running this install. I'll let you know how it goes. Seems the Linux is a little buggy with the n7. I'm interested in how cinnamon will run

I usually have to flash like 4+ different zips and its most convenient if I could have them all in one folder instead of all over, does it really make it difference if I flash from a folder or SD?

You can flash from anywhere

Not as far as I know. I often flash .zips from /download and have absolutely no issues.
Sent from my Nexus 4
No difference at all. Back in the day before the recoveries had file explorers. They only looked for the file /sdcard/update.zip.
So you used to have to rename your zip to update.zip then put it on the root of sdcard or else it wouldn't install anything.

I don't know about the app you mentioned, but there were a couple of apps in the N4 Apps & Themes forum which did this - but it seems they work for 4.3 only.
As mentioned, there are apps which work via Exposed framework which will do what you are looking for (though bear in mind Exposed needs the Dalvik not Art, runtime).
Another good option is to try some ROMs - most of the popular ones have extensive UI customisation, such as battery, clock, navigation bar (the one at the bottom).
Download a ROM and its Gapps (eg AICP ROM and its Gapps, which I use and I can recommend, it's a good place to start)
Reboot into recovery.
Backup your current ROM (creates an image you can restore if you don't like the new ROM)
Wipe: data/system/cache/dalvik. NOT internal storage
Install the ROM and its Gapps
Reboot and begin to setup your phone
If you have Titanium Backup Pro or similar, you can restore all your user apps and data to the new ROM. Generally not recommended to restore system apps or data.
It may sound like a lot of effort to get a battery icon, but you also get a better ROM (faster, better battery and highly customisable UI). With the backup you took, if you don't like your new ROM, all you need to do is:
Go into Recovery,
Wipe data/system/dalvik/cache
Restore the backup
Reboot
