Ive recently rooted and now wanna take the plunge to greener pastures... When adding a ROM, will it erase my data and apps? Im assuming Google will take care of the contacts and calendars but will have to re-download apps? I have Titanium backup - I can should just move its backup folder to the external if anything? Please advise an eager and appreciative noob

Yes, most of the time the /data partition is formated. What most of us do is use "Titanium Backup" from the market and back up all out apps before flashing. Then you flash your new rom and let it boot up. Log into the market again and re-install Titanium Backup. Once in TB you hit the menu key -> Batch. In there you should see a option to restore user apps and data.
I also use Titanium Backup and it saves me a LOT of headache. The only downside is sitting there hitting the install button (in my case) 200 times.

If you paid for full version, you wouldn't have to click the install button 200 times. I've tried so many roms/updates that at some point it became a no-brainer to pay for the full version and save myself the pain.

No. Nandroid backs up the whole ROM, restoring that would undo the ROM install you just did. Just get Titanium, it's the only way to fly.
And when restoring, particularly between ROMs, don't restore system data. It causes issues that are hard to diagnose sometimes. Other times it works fine, but IMO it's not worth it. If you are re-installing the exact same ROM version, it should be OK, but switching from stock to Bionix, for example, it will break things. Just do the user apps and data, it saves hassle.
If you don't like hitting the button constantly, stop being such a cheap bastard and pay up. It's saved me far more time than the $4 or so I spent on it. Even at $6 it's a bargain if you like to play with ROMs and such. And backup your backup, the internal SD can lose data. I just turned on the Dropbox sync and push the backups up there once in a while.

If I remember they request 5.99 but if you click the drop down there is a 3.99 option that still gets you the license.

im also thinking of going from stock to bionix but i want to be double safe more than i want to be sorry so i will ask you to repeat yourselves a bit with a little more detail. are you saying its ok to backup the white (User Apps) and green (System service with useful data) options from stock and restore them in bionix or will some of the green ones screw up bionix? i dont backup the red (System service) options. sorry for asking you to repeat yourselves but redundancy is a noobs best friend. i know im capable of flashing this rom but i want to iron out all the details before proceeding.
I back up system data and restore selectively, like memos and SMS, etc. Don't batch restore all system data, just the stuff that has content you need.

ok thank you
Paying for titanium takes the sting out of the wipes that all the best roms do. Break it down to what your time is worth. Once you start flashing roms, you will keep doing it more and more and titanium will be your best friend. If they told me I had to pay a new ten dollars, I wouldn't hesitate.

there's a lot of stuff you don't need to back up. i only backup apps i've installed and their data (backup all user apps batch). this then requires me to reenter wifi info, resync contacts, and i lose all text messages, which none of those are a big deal to me and minimizes toying with titanium.

no, but it's recommended to do a nandroid backup before you flash your first rom and you only need to ever do it that once. titanium backup is what you want for backing up apps and stuff before flashing a rom.
Well thanks to you guys I now have bionix final on my phone. And I have the circular blue battery mod which in my opinion looks way better than the stock bionix battery. Easier to read too.
Thanks again, loving this rom
I just switched to the donate version so I could sync it with my dropbox account. I'm very glad I did. It's much easier for me to store things there and have my sd card freed up of some space.
Question though; does titanium backup game save data as well?
Sent from my Team Whiskey Powered Vibrant
I just tried to backup my fruit ninja & angry birds but it didnt save any of my data
After reading I could back up to Dropbox and batch reload, the $6 bucks for the Pro version of Titanium was a no brainer for me. While I get a certain amount of geeky satisfaction playing with the phone, hitting install repetitivly is not one.
Question. I doubt there is an app for this because this issue is so user/device/application specific... but I noticed in 1 month of owning my phone that I now have 600MB available on a 8GB SD card.
I imagine plenty of this is junk... and I will need to go through using ADB or a wifi file explorer app to review each directory on the SD and delete those files that I can determine (if possible) are in fact junk... I know certainly easy ones like old manual downloads of apps and such should be deleted... But after that... I am a little apprehensive.
One related issue is the App to SD app. I have re-flashed my ROM a couple times, and each time I have to move everything back to the SD... But I would think Ti, upon restoring this application, would have user data already in place stating which app "should" be on the SD card (even if it is not because of the new state of the recent ROM)... and then move them automatically. Right now, I am moving my apps to SD (using the app), and I suspect there are dead, non working versions of these apps someplace on the SD...
In general, does anyone have advice for cleaning the SD card. I know that when you uninstall an app, it uninstalls it, yes, but all traces of its former existence remain.... On my laptop, I use revo-uninstaller, because it is amazing how much junk is left over -- on the HD or in the registry, or wherever, and its nice to clean all this out on an uninstall.
Does Android have anything comparable?
Astro file manager.
Or just plug your phone into your computer and turn on USB storage.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Why Astro? What does it do?
I have used it before, then Linda, then some other file manager, and now I use Smart File Manager and Ghost Commander because of the mix of functions and root access.
But why does Astro solve the aforementioned problems? And USB Storage? You are just providing me tools which give me access, albeit easier access, to the SD Card. I know how to crawl every file on the SD Card... What I don't know is the bulk of 7GB that I cannot imagine are even being used.
Glacier has a stock 8GB SD card... if I have some downloaded junk, dropbox with 1GB, and all moveable apps moved to my SD, all of this should be ~4 GB. Yet as I mention in my original post, I have 650MB left. So there is garbarge someplace....WHERE? I just don't understand the FS well enough to know how apps are being used and where valid copies of them are.... its not like I can look at /etc or /usr/lib on the SD card and know what is not an active app... (I wish)
Heres a short list of some directory you can delete that wont harm anything and there locations. they will be rebuilt then next time u use the respective app and will be smaller generally.
sdcard/
.bookmak_thumb1
.imp.thumbnails
data
sdcard/DCIM/
.thumbnails
Go through your music make sure you have no doubles as well as any recovery backups that are old each will be 500mb+
Also a good idea is to first move back all your apps to your phone temporarily. Then use Titanium backup and backup everything all system + User apps + Data then plug you phone onto your computer and copy everything on your SD over to your desktop. Once done unplug the usb and format the card through your phone Menu>Settings>SD & phone storage. After thats done copy the pertinent files you copied to your desktop back. I.E. Music pictures backups ect making sure you don't copy stuff you don't use or need. If your like me space is at a premium and i plug my phone into my PC alot and for some horrible reason windows likes to hide crap on my SD and eventually takes up a load of space. I use perfect Disk's free space cleaner to do this but if you don't want to shell out the cash for it the above is the best option.
Hope this helps.
Thank you so much for all that info... It was quite nice of you to go into such detail... I know what you mean about windows, you have to keep on it... keep pushing it back.
I will use your suggestions.. they are the best thing I could have asked for.
Incidentally, I saw in your sig that you use a stock Rom... Why is that? I have had my glacier for about 7 weeks and while I rooted it right away, I didn't Flash a modded ROM until CM RC3.
Have you any personal opinions on using a non-sense ROM...? That is about the one thing I seem to read consistently. People saying that HTC builds the devices to perform better with a sense based UI/ROM.
Any opinion? Just curious...(don't mean to take advantage of your kindness in your last post.)
Edit: Fail at English, Being tired doesn't help.
I love the Espresso sense Stock comes with. It has all the features i want where i want them and its a clean look. After I Froze the bloatware it runs Just as well as the comparable roms with optimized code but better stability. Because Sadly with optimized code comes less compatibility and greater risk for instability. Eventually I'll flash something else but its gonna need to be something along the lines of a gingerbread version of stock.
From what i understand there actually is alot of device specific compatibility involved, especially with Sense. The Espresso Sense they used is highly specific in alot of the areas, whitch is why Faux123 has had so many issues this making a 100% compatible Sense kernel. Also if you think about it, they where made for each other and i doubt T-mo or HTC want to release updates all the time to fix issues so they made it as stable and compatible within reason for the general public.
Well... I tend to agree with you, although I am not the coder I would like to be, and as such I do not understand a lot about the Android OS and FS that I wish I did.
I work within a linux environment maybe half the time, but with Linux, there is always more to learn... So I need to ask then why upgrade your kernel? Is this faux's kernel which is close to being sense compatible? I was fine using my stock ROM, rooted, but some psychological nonsense made me believe that going from 2.2.1 to 2.3 would somehow change my entire Android experience. And while there are some minor features that are new, other than CM themes and all that, I don't know if jumping to GIngerbread is necessary....or if my experience sticking with the Stock Froyo would be a wiser choice... modding whatever I want as I am perm rooted radio s=off like you.
But I would like to know what the benefit of the kernel gives you...
The updated kernel adds updated drivers code improvements, several new CPU governors for better performance and battery life and alot of other stuff. and with Faux behind the wheel its guaranteed to be good. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941141
Cool. I did not know this. So you are running 2.2 but the kernel is enhancing this a great deal.
You are so cool and nice to answer my questions...and I don't want to turn this into a "Ask SoltyPK" thread but I have a q that you addressed with another user... mine might be more rudimentary... but how can I upgrade to CWR 3.0.0.6? I have the donate Rom Manager and it itself is the latest version of the app but its the old 3.0.0.5. Really confused and frustrated. Downloaded unrevoked...but that's for wildfire so I don't think that would be wise.

I saw that you answered my CW question in my thread from earlier today. Thanks. Been figuring out a lot of stuff today.
So I flashed the new recovery. Awesome.
I won't apologize for asking questions anymore. You must just enjoy it. I am insomniac, and am always in front of this phone our my laptop, so I think I am just the odd one.
In December, someone released a launcher for what was supposed to be the"gingerbread launcher". It is more or less the launcher that CM7 uses, the icons are the same, and the animation upon opening and closing odd the same... But the pre-gingerbread launcher from december had a really nice vertical 3D roller effect. Do you know if there is any way I can get this effect with some mod or changing settings in ADW (the launcher format of CM7)? Do you even know what I am talking about?
Thanks on this one a lot..
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Yeah thats from ADW Launcher i believe. its on the app market.
Since the Fire does not have external storage, Titanium BU appears to make a folder in another folder called SD (if I recall correctly).
If I have to reset the Fire back to factory for any reason (say for instance, your mom accidentally sets a lock password and then forgets it ), wont the back up files get erased?
So assuming that is true, whats a good way to back things up? I suppose I could copy the BU folder to a PC every few weeks
TiBackup paid version can do your backup to your Dropbox account and you can then recover from there. Warning rather or very slow depending on your patience level.
Sent from my HTC Flyer P512 using Tapatalk
DB is an option, however it only gives you 2 gigs unless you pay. I want to be able to back up the entire device in case I need to restore it later.
I have rooted it, changed the launcher, installed Market, etc. I plan on editing those files to prevent the wallpaper from changing back to the default.
It's my mom's Fire. She's 85. This week she accidentally set the password lock and I had to re-set the device and start over.
I want to be ready in case something happens again.
There are tons of options...
I use TB with DB on my Droid Incredible, but I really don't depend on it. Once a week (Sundays), I connect it to my main workstation and simply copy the SDcard contents to my NAS. The 32GB SDCard only has about 15gb on it and I do something else while it is backing up.
I also use AndFTP a lot between a unix server that has a NAS on it as well and commonly move files to and from using SFTP. Works on the KF and every other droid device I have.
Wait, does the /sdcard partition get wiped when you do a factory reset? I'd be surprised if it does...
TiBackup only deals with apps. So that 2G should be more than enough space. Later you're talking about backing up the contents of /sdcard which is another thing entirely. Simple desktop copy when attached to your computer will be good enough for that. A nicer way would be to use any of the tons of sync-a-folder programs out there and use it instead of the desktop copy. That way after the first time I'd assume it would be garter since it's only changed files and deletions that must be processed.
Sent from my HTC Flyer P512 using Tapatalk
Copying over the back-up contents every now and again seems like your best bet if 2gb on Dropbox can't handle your TB backups. Especially since you'd be dedicating over a quarter of your Kindle's disk space to back-ups.
Thanks everyone.
In my case I basically don't want to have to re-set and re-set up my mom's fire if she does something.
Most media (except photos, because Amazon doesn't sync photos for some reason) is in the cloud, so I don't have to worry about that.
I don't know if TB will back up all the settings, inc. things I've altered, like the changing wallpaper fix. I hope so, but if not I'll still have to re-do that.
If her storage fills up I guess I can delete the back up file on her Fire and just keep it on her computer.
more memory + more ?
I have downloaded Titanium Backup to my KF, but im not sure how im supposed to use the app. I downloaded it because I want to have more memory space. I planned to load my kf with music and movies from my computer and I'm sure it will take up most of my space. Im was wondering what kind of steps am i supposed to take to to after I have downloaded the titanium backup to my KF to make this happen...I would also like to know is there a way to get swype on my kf...if you can point me in that direction too...i am rooted with burritoroot3...I also want to know what is the main purpose Go launch ex?
Thanks for your help

I'm pretty sure factory reset does not wipe the /sdcard folder. I do a factory reset when I load a new ROM and all my books/backups are still there.

I realize this post is a little outdated, but I need to get to my 10th post so I can reply in the Dev forums Leebo, you can use the Kindle Fire Utility (latest version is 0.9.3) to lock the wallpaper in place after you change it (must be rooted and have a non-stock launcher). Kind of a pain to have to do if you change wallpapers a lot, but I think it's the best you can do without flashing a custom ROM. I just flashed CM7 last night and I can pick and choose whatever wallpaper I want and it sticks, even on the lockscreen.
Since that post I discovered (well, read here on xda) that after editing that file, most or all wallpapers of the same type will stay. I put a moving wallpaper on my moms Fire a couple of months ago and it's still there.
How is that CM7 working? Does everything work?
I haven't played with any version of CM because, as I understand, I would loose 4G on my EVO. So I'm wondering if you loose any functionality with the KF.
After unsuccefull rooting I can't restore my NST. In partition table I look only 1 - 240MB. "AlfaFormatter" and "n2t-recovery" can't help. May be anyone know more methods?
Thank you
Sounds like you didn't use "Noogie" before you backed up. "Noogie" reveals all the partitions of your Nook, so you can back all of it up. If you back up without using "Noggie," you will only backup the ~250mb of data that are, by default, on the partition titled "NOOK."
Please post again if this explanation was not clear.

Yep, this is a common mistake.
The worst part is that restoring a invalid backup image like that, also overwrites your /rom partition and the rom partition backup zip that resides on partition 3
If this is what happened, then you're out of luck, there's no method that can recover the device.
Ouch! I also, almost, did this, but it seemed too strange to me that the backup should be so small.
On this note--can an admin start to make a few, forum, stickies? I'm surprised that there aren't any already. It would be good for old hands and n00bs alike to have a few, key, threads posted and pinned to the top.
My 2 cents.

So, question:
I just bought a refurb. Started it up and I only have 240MB space so I came here looking for help. Can I assume from this that I should just not even bother with it and should try to get my money back?

That's normal for it to be like that. B&N only gives you a (relatively) small amount of space for side loaded content. I think there's some way to give yourself some more space, but I don't know. Either way, it doesn't affect the rooting process.

Yeah, I know, but thanks. The unit has a lot of issues. I can't successfully get it working. The WiFi won't work either, doesn't have MAC address. I won't call it a brick, but how it got to me as a "factory certified" refurb in this state is beyond me and not worth the trouble. I already got it swapped for a new unit.

Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I don't think that any PC-based recovery programs will work because the Nexus 7 gets mounted as a media device, not as a mass storage device. You can try Undelete for Root Users in the Play Store (I've never tried it myself) but you need to be rooted to use it. If you're not rooted, then you're in a catch 22 because you need to wipe the device in order to root it, which might eliminate your chances for recovery. You should also make sure that you're not using the Nexus 7 for anything other than recovery during this time because you might be overwriting your videos as you use it.
In short I can't recover the movies because I am not already rooted? Or is there hope if I root my device as early as tomorrow?

The process of Rooting is not your problem. Unlocking the bootloader is. THAT wipes your device. You cannot root without an unlocked bootloader.
There is a way to do a full backup without having root, but it most likely would not provide you with any relief since it only backs up valid objects. A deleted file is not a valid object.
Having a backup of your data would have been your rescue... learning the hard way...
Yes, I should have been more clear that it's unlocking the bootloader that will wipe your device, which is a prerequisite for rooting. Unfortunately, unless you've already unlocked your bootloader, it seems that you have no options for file recovery outside of the forensic route (paying an expert to take your device apart and do a low level recovery, which is quite costly). If these videos are truly something that you can't live without, then I think that this is your last resort. If you don't plan to go the forensic route, then I suppose you have nothing to lose by trying to root now, but don't forget that unlocking the bootloader will wipe the entire device, meaning not only will you lose the existing data on the device, but it might overwrite your deleted videos, so if you're considering going the forensic route at all, DO NOT UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER (caps added for dramatic effect).

Ok, I rooted my device. No sign of the clips when using a recovery app. But I wanted to root it anyway, so never mind!
Now that you are rooted, setup a backup process so that in the future you don't have to go through this. I personally do a full nandroid backups at a minimum of once a week (use Sundays as backup date). But I also backup my media stuff as well since the Nandroid only backs up system, apps and app data, not really the SDcard memory.
Anytime I make a big change, I do a backup as well. The whole process takes less than 10 minutes, but if I lose/destroy my device, I can take a brand new one, restore and be right back to where I was.

I think people miss the intended use of cloud storage on mobile devices . I use google docs Box . And my ftp site my ftp mostly.. Set up some type cloud sync storage for the folders your store your data on the device. data/media is a good but will be quite large to sync.. make it a habbit to save to cloud and this will not happen.. Once you start using cloud base storage you will find it less intrusive and the extra steps will be worth it..
if your say at a friends house and want to see a image or open a created document and do not have your nexus just got o the storage url and there is your stuff... NIce and fairly safe.. i backup to to ftp.. and sync the ftp with desktop storage drive. So if either of the 3 devices or two of the 3 loose my stuff Its in the cloud..
PLEASE READ THE POLICY Of the cloud storage you choose.. Personal web ftp base storage is best if you want your stuff to be TOTALLY CONFIDENTIAL...
JUST LIKE YOUR PC . BACKUP IS A MUST ON ANDROID DEVICES...
Cloud storage is nice and all, but time consuming, especially for video files and many times not a good backup solution. You end up with pieces and parts all over the place and no easy quick restore of all of your data from a single source.
I use the following guide to confirm backup and know I can restore every time 100% of the time, Cant ensure that with cloud storage.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20868527
That plus it is on MY equipment, not someones elses I have no control over and my workstation has triple redundant backups itself ensuring I don't lose stuff.
If backups are hard, time consuming or take too long, people simply won't do them.
I'm not sure if this works on the Nexus7 too but Google+ app has a tool in the settings to auto upload pictures /videos. You can set it to auto upload when it's on WiFi and charging or when there's new pictures (and WiFi of course lol)
I have my 3VO automatically backup images and vids since those are usually unreplaceble unlike apps and downloads

Well, if they weren't gone before, they're gone now because the OP unlocked the bootloader to root the device, which wiped everything.
