Just wondering if it's possible to somehow upload all my settings/mods/apps/etc. that are on top of the deodexed MF9 ROM. Basically what I want to do is upload the MF9 ROM with all of my settings/mods/apps/etc. on here to share with people! Is that possible to somehow do that and make it a flashable zip??

This is a tricky request. I am not sure you can do what you want but I have to sit down and think about it some more. But my initial thoughts are you can't the way you are requesting, if I am understanding you correctly. The way I understand what you are asking is that you want to make a clone of your phone for other people to install. You want all the apps you have installed. All of your settings, backgrounds and etc... The problem is that most of the stuff you want resides in data. And if you clone the data partition you are going to give people access to sensitive information. About the best you can do is build a Rom with the specific apps you want in it with the theme and other settings you like. It won't be a "clone" of what you are using now but will be the closest you can get without giving people too much.

Damn! Yeah that's what I thought when the other dude said to put a flashable zip of my backup. But is there a way to wipe the data? And maybe not have ALL my apps, but all of the *key* ones. That'd be cool if I could make a TWRP backup, but then somehow reset/wipe the data so not all of my pics/info/etc. are on it, ya know.
And I don't know how to make a ROM, hence why I just wanted to share my settings and what-not with everyone!

Data is data so you can't wipe the data without wiping what you want to share. The apps are pretty easy unless you are trying to share paid apps and if so forget about it. You could push all of the apps you want to the /system/app folder using a root explorer. Then you could do a backup of just the system only. And that would give you all of your mods, apps etc but without any of the data and settings.
I did notice that Philz, think that is right, CWM has an option to make a flashable zip from recovery. I have not looked into it at all but you might do some research on that to see if that is an option. I doubt it will get the data items for you though.

Well one of my "mods" is 3Minit and I have the "donate version" 2.5 from the Play Store (best $2 I ever spent!). Also would like to share some cool wallpapers I have too. It'd be sick if I could just somehow make a backup of mods/apps/wallpapers (just not all my pics) and then make it a flashable zip to share with others!
You can probably factory reset and apply all the apps/settings you would like of course without all your app info do a nandroid backup of system and efs settings only

Cwm makes it a flashable zip, with all your system apps. Basically, it clones your ROM, without any data in it. I'm not sure if it clones data/app as well.

Hey guys,
Lately the Stock ROM is annoying me, I'm planning on flashing it to a custom ROM - I don't see gingerbread anywhere so I thought why not !
Also, my tab was rooted until something happened and I had to reset it to factory settings, most of the apps (that need root access) work, but titanium backup claims it fails to achieve root.
So Should I re root my tab before flashing a custom ROM?
and of course the question I asked in the title - what would you'll recommend for a custom rom on a GSM tab (I was thinkin overcome)
Cheers
Jackie

Probably because you mis-pressed the allow button in superuser when first launching titanium.
launch superuser and remove teh titanium entry and next time you load it will ask for su rights again.

I second that. Alterbridge is a first class developer.

Thank you very much everyone, I'm thinking I'll get rid of unwanted stuff on my internal SD before I start it - as I found out that conversion to ext4 takes a while - so I'll save time that way also - hopefully if time permits, I'll be flashing my tab soon
Also does anyone know if i could some how get the gingerbread framework to work with the galaxy tab on overcome?

I think its better you hold out at the moment till someone ports it over to the WiFi version
Well its a good idea. Am empty SD card conversion takes 2 minutes. Full one can take upto 20 LOL. Not that I encourage everyone to wipe their cards. I flashed overcome when my tab was fairly new so I had no problems wiping it.
sweet, thanks for the info, also when the ext4 is being converted, is there a progress bar or status? I get paranoid at times when I don't see any progress

Yes you can backup your apk files with Root Explorer, but it will not have your apk data [i.e. app data link to the Market] with the backup, but would with Titanium Backup.

Sorry guys maybe I should of explained a bit more I'm looking to buy some apps up to now only used free 1s but with flash different roms sometimes you need to full wipe and don't quite no how that would work after buying an app then wiping my phone
I assume (and may be wrong) that when I download an app from the market it downloads the apk file what I would like to do is then use root explorer to move the apk files to M/S then back them up to pc for safe keeps or does it not work like that and I just sound like a tool lol
If it is possible then where are the downloaded apks?
I don't want to use titanium backup as some people report problems while using the ARHD performance patch plus was under the impression that backing up apps then sometimes they course problems when installing on different base ie 2.2 to 2.3(gb) which hopefully won't be.to long away

1, I used titanium backup in both froyo and gingerbread and have no problem. And trust me, titanium backup is extremely useful when it comes to flashing a new ROM that requires full wipe.
2,FYI, your downloaded apps are stored in /data/apps , copy them with root explorer.

That would happen if someone using Titanium were to choose Backup all use apps + system data, then after installing a different ROM using Titanium to restore the apps + system data, which of course would be form the other ROM, which would:-

copy your sd card files over to pc which includes all your backup of titanium onit, once you have flashed rom, formatted sd etc and new rom is installed get titanium backup back off the market copy your sd files back and then restore but if you are changing roms completely and not doing an update id recommend just doing a back up of your apps because if you restore over your existing settings it may corrupt the rom (NOT TO SURE NOT TRIED IT MYSELF)

i use root explorer( or your favorite file manager) and manually back up my apps. made a folder on sd called apks and copy apps from /data/app. i never backup data but if you want to /data/user/0. instead of freezing i just delete. i can always extract file i need from original rom.zip if something goes wrong. using root explorer instead of an app takes longer but is a good way to get familiar with androids file system and saves space from installing another app to do something another app you probably already have can do.
you can use an older version of titanium backup:

I have been using mybackup pro for a while now without any problems. Even though it's not recommended, I was able to successfully restore data for most apps when switching from stock to CM9. The only data that wouldn't restore seemed to be for ROMS that use logins or have secure data. Plus, you can backup and restore SMS and phone logs.
As far as CM9, I switched back to stock after a day. Beta 0 is awesome but nothing I did would stop it from killing my battery. If you can deal with that, give it a try.
CM9 is awesome but still not very good on battery as Poit mentioned. That one and CM7 are AOSP meaning no Touchwiz bloat but also no Touchwiz apps or functionality, based on pure Google like the Nexus S. If you like the apps and interface of Touchwiz I would go with CleanGB or Sleeper ROM (full) at the moment.

Rom Toolbox is pretty much an all-in-one app that replaces TB and other apps. Taking up less space on your phone. The paid version allows you to Apply On Boot. Give it a try, you may find that more to your liking.
if you only want to backup your apps i've used app backup and works well.
Here's what i want to do now:
1) I know i would like to remove some of the apps i do not use (bacon reader, flipbook, etc...)
2) Install a sweet custom rom
3) anything else i should know about??
How do i do it? sorry for the noob-ness....
If you just want to get rid of bloatware install any type of root explorer (many would suggest titanium backup) and delete the app from your system app folder.
As for a custom rom there are plenty to choose from just make sure you have a custom recovery and make a back up then flash away.
Oh and also I believe this should be in Q&A

Be brave, but remember to be smart! Nandroids are awesome, Save your a$$, and only take a few minutes... I recommend trying out several roms in a row, starting fresh on all of them knowing you can go straight back to where you are now with a Nandroid backup from recovery. You'll find something you like and it'll be all yours! Have fun and good luck oh yeah, after you find a rom you like, experiment with custom kernels... I like ktoonsez a lot, but some swear by faux. U gotta try and find ones you like.
Edit: one more thing, when you're flashing a rom, sometimes it takes longer than you expected... And it's hard to be patient... But things will always be OK if you're patient enough. Worst case scenario if something happens, which it rarely does, you simply Odin back to stock and start over again
