Hi everyone
So I just flashed cyanogens 5.0 mod and I just assumed android market would remember what applications I had downloaded (yes, I'm an Android newbie) so you can imagine my surprise when only one of my previous downloads showed up!
I have no idea where I got it from but I was under the impression the Google saved my download history in Market? I mean it obviously remembered that one application lol
Any help is appreciated!
It does sort of. On the first boot after flashing a Tom go straight to the downloads and your apparently will show. Install all your Alps right then, if you leave the download page they go away. I hop Google fixes that soon.

No way! So I'm screwed? Well that sucks...
Is there really no other way? If I re-flash it, will I be given the same "chance" to go to market right away, or was that a one shot deal?
I think its one shot but it would hurt yo try.
No luck... I guess I'm screwed huh
Actually another 5 apps showed up in Market after a while, but that's it.
I'm still in shock that it didn't remember all my apps, I mean, whats the requirement?? gah...
Sorry man, at least it will always remember your paid apps even when you switch devices. But for next time if you wipe first thing you do is redownload your apps.

Lesson learned my friend, lesson learned...
Thx for the help!
Actually, when you boot up your phone for the first time (or after a wipe), there's an option for you to select if you want Google to save all your settings. If you don't check this option, your downloads (and other stuff I'm not exactly too sure about) won't save when you wipe or change phones.
I flashed Cyanogen's ROM yesterday and my whole list of downloads were there. Downloading them was a bit of a hassle though...

Yeah I do get that question after flashing, have no memory of getting it first time I started the phone tho.
I always checked that option when I got it, thinking it was a good idea, guess I'll try not checking it next time, but I guess by now the damage is already done.
Hey, I just restored my nandroid to before cyanogen, and all the apps are there now in downloads again.
Perhaps there's a way to save this yet
Missing apps
Actually thing happened to me today after installing 5.0
all of my apps where gone except for the paid ones so what i did was restore from my nand backup copied all of my apps down, and then i went ahead and re flashed 5.0
hope that helps
(hope you did a nand backup before flashing )
thanks

All hope is not lost.
-Restore Nandroid
-Flash CyanMod and Google Apps
-Reboot
-Do what I showed you before
-Enjoy your apps
Is it really worth the hassle to avoid redownloading all the apps? I'm assuming by now the OP could have reinstalled the apps a hundred times already.

Sure I could have done that, but I'm used (from the windows mobile world) to flashing my phone at least once a week, and I'll probably keep that up here so I want to make sure I have a simple way to restore my applications afterwards.
I appreciate the help everyone, I'll try to re-flash later and see if they show up
Flashed CM 5.0 beta 3 now and went straight to market and voila, all my apps are present! :-D
Thanks everyone for taking your time to help me!
Hey!
Well I'm back.. I had a G1 when it first came out(pre order)... I lasted with that thing a couple of months and couldn't deal with it being so buddy at first and just missed my BB in general.
Anyway, I've been wanting to get an Android phone, being that I'm still in contract I didn't want to pay full price, I found a mytouch 3g for 65 bucks... SO I went for it.
I got it today with 1.6, I just read up all day at work and successfully rooted, and installed about 4 Roms so far, right now I'm on the latest CM6 with Google apps(booting now)... I might stick with this one for now...
Now for one question, and forgive me if it has been asked, I managed to do everything else without asking so I deserve one noob post right?
If I ever want a new ROM, do I need to wipe everytime? Or is there a much simpler way after the initial load?
I see some people installing a new rom very often, do you re-download all your apps?
thats pretty much what i do (re-download all my apps) im not sure if you have to wipe every time im fairly sure it depends on the rom your flashing but overall i know it is a good thing to do a wipe before flashing a new rom every time because if not there could be things left over from the previous rom and if it boots it will have force closes and all kinds of nasty stuff
in summary yes to my knowledge you should wipe every time before flashing a new rom im not sure if you have to- i just do
i could be wrong, this is just my take on it
wrong section!
moving to general​
If you're using AOSP (Android Open Source Project) builds (basically anything that does not include HTC Sense, MotoBlur ect) then no, you should be fine without a wipe, all your apps, app data, and settings will remain intact.
Should you need to wipe, you can backup your apps by typing this in to the terminal.
mkdir /sdcard/app
cp /data/app/* /sdcard/app
cp /data/app-private/* /sdcard/app
Then wipe (including dalvik cache!) flash the new ROM from recovery, wipe dalvik cache again and restore them
mount /sdcard
cp /sdcard/app/* /data/app
And you're done
Thanks for the tips. Sorry bout the wrong section!
Anyway, I installed the Cyangen(sp?) modded rom, the latest one on there site, Rc3 I believe? Besides the older phone being a little slow it seems to run great so far.

Dunno. I've flashed Evervolv a few times with no problems other than the known features that ain't working yet.

And it never works. At least redownload it and try that. If not that maybe one of us can make you a new flashable with minimal apps, similiar to the tiny gapps packages that several mdpi roms carry with them.

Umm, the first times I flashed it it worked perfectly, so I don't know how it could be my fault considering I have done it the same every time. I mean I don't know how much I could do wrong by installing a zip file from recovery.

I have no solution for you, but want one! I've been getting the same problem all day today. I reflashed cm7 then GAPPS and couldn't log into google. It is the same GAPPS and cm7 that I flashed before with success. The GAPPS also worked with evervolv.
I went back to the saved evervolv rom and had to reauth to my google account for some reason. However, I STILL couldn't log in!
I had to eventually go all the way back to my stock backup in order to get access again. (it didn't ask, was already there)

This is what i did, and it worked! i cant guarantee it, but hey if it works then yay! if you have downloaded the roms and GAPPS on your computer, delete them, delete ALL traces of CM7 and also GAPPS or Evervolv if thats what you are using. Also, delete ALL traces of GAPPS and the roms on your phone/sdcard. Then, redownload a new rom and a new GAPPS.. then of course get them onto your sd card. then boot into recovery, make sure your using CWM 3!! then wipe data, wipe the cache, and also wipe the dalvik cache Andvanced>wipe dalvik cache. once its all wiped, flash the rom. STAY IN RECOVERY, and flash GAPPS without ever booting, flash it right after the rom installation is complete. then, reboot, enter your info and hope it works. PLEASE let me know how this works out, im eager to help you.!!!
Did this help? Hit the Thanks button!
EDIT: Just rooted first time, freaking awesome.
I'm not the first to come through here and won't be the last, so ahem.
"Hi I'm a newbie, blah blah blah"
Maybe I can get some points for originality approach.
Obviously speaking, I have an Inc, I've wanted to root for a while but honestly been intimidated thus far, I have a good grip on technology, phones, etc. I've done jailbreaking on iDevices, but that's not anything special anymore.
I've been through the guides, tutorials, etc. but in my opinion, there's no straight forward explanation for everything for someone who needs a little more than an overall outline on what you're doing.
I'm all about speed on my phone, having the latest coolest new stuff.
That being said, in the beginning, I want to root to just remove the bloatware that is so well documented and do Wifi tethering.
and in the end, I might want to try to flash ROMs but that still intimidates me in having to factory reset, etc etc.
But can someone run me through things, what happens, etc.?
Thanks.

Well...
Rooting is giving full admin rights over your phone (as you probably know). This has become a very simple process thanks to the Unrevoked team (http://unrevoked.com/ follow very easy instructions to get root). Once you root you can flash an alternate recovery (which unrevoked does for you, clockworkmod) which from there you can flash ROM's, kernels, and other various things. With you being scared to reset, it really isn't as bad as you think. Everything you delete can be backup'd before hand using clokworkmod itself, google's servers, or apps (Titanium Backup). After you flash your new fresh rom, clean of all contacts, apps, messages, you will begin to restore all your wanted contacts etc. This isn't a quick process for most but you will get used to it. So here's a step by step if I wanted to take my Inc running stock, and flash a whole new ROM...(This is presuming your rooted which I explained previously)
1. Download the full ROM from the thread, make sure you read the first couple post to make sure you don't miss anything important.
2. Make folder's on your SD card and label them ROM's, Kernel's, etc. to keep orginized. Drag your downloaded file to the appropriate folder.
3. Use Titanium Backup (on Market) to backup all of your installed apps and games, so it's easy to reinstall them. All the backups are saved on your SD card, so they can easily be restored.
4. Make a nandroid first just in case you f*** up which you will do at some point. (A nandroid is a FULL backup of your phone at the point you make it, apps, contacts, messages, ROM, kernel, everything is backed up, this is done in clockworkmod by going to Backup/Restore > Backup. Obviously if you wanted to restore from a previous backup, you would go to restore, and choose the backup file you would like to run.) This could take up to 10 minutes.
5. Wipe all your data, cache, and dalvik cache (Advanced > Wipe Dalvik) And dont be scared, all of your stuff is backed by apps, google, and in dire situations, your nandroid.
6. After your wiped, flash your ROM (Main > Choose zip from SD card > "Folder" > ROM > press trackpad. It will ask to confirm, use the volume rocker to navigate to yes and confirm.
7. Once it's flashed, "Reboot system now"
8. You will have to probably go through a setup process similar to when you first set up your phone, go through it, once your done you have a fresh ROM, no apps, no bloat (Depends on ROM).
9. Download your backup apps from the market and commence your restore.
10. There you have it. If I missed any points I apologize, but that's how I do it.
Try the "Incredibly Re-Engineered" ROM, it is the absolutely fastest ever....totally awesome....bah, who needs Tegra2 with this ROM. Fantastic...

Funny story, OP, I was looking around for the exact same thing as you were. Your first post was pretty much exactly what I would've asked, word for word. I just finished rooting my Incredible successfully.
It was about as easy as jailbreaking my old iPhone 3G a few years ago. Just made sure the HBOOT driver was installed on my machine, formatted SD card (probably wasn't necessary, but was going to need to do it eventually for when I get gutsy enough to flash a ROM ) and it was quite painless with unrevoked. If you haven't already rooted, good luck!
Can't stress that first nandroid back up enough. It had saved me a few times. It's like having a full image of your system. You can easily go right back to stock.

So I just rooted and I got scared because it had to reboot like 4 times.
So it finally went through, went right through clockworkrecovery before I could do anything and now some apps are missing on reboot, what's up?
EDIT: Well it seems ok now, I just rebooted and went right into clockwork, doing backup now, hoping for the best.
Also did Titanium Backup with no issues before hand.
I just got done with everything and it is awesome. Thank you XDA.

there is no need to be scarred of flashing roms anymore. There are a few roms out there made of nothing but stock. And several good guides on how to get back to 100 percent stock phone. If you were gutsy enough to get root take the jump into roms it will make your phone a brand new device.

Hopefully not to take away from our devs here in this forum, but you might check out the CM7 RC2 rom. Lot of people seem to be having good luck with it. The kernel that's included is rock solid. Also CM roms are heavily supported. Not only by the CyanogenMod community but our community here on XDA as well. If not CM then there are plenty of well built roms here on XDA also.

Hey, so I'm fairly new to the whole rooting and customizing Android, so please forgive me if I come accross "ignorant" or generally childish. I bought a galaxy note 3 the other day and researched what rooting did. After getting convince that rooting was "awesome," I actually managed to root. I also played with some Xposed modules because they were fairly simple and cool. After more research, I found out that Verizon had a locked bootloader which prevented me from using any other roms? I also read that verizon/att users can use safestrap but i couldn't exactly find some specifics for it. So whats the disadvantages of safestrap? Do specific roms have to be used?
Another concern, I'd like to get a faster rom than stock touchwiz, but i'd also like to find a rom that can use ART runtime as well as maintaining a nice multi window feature. I tried XHaloFloatingWindow and another xposed module, and I can't say I was pleased with them compared to the touchwiz one. I'd also like to maintain S-pen features? Does anybody know of any roms that may come close to fitting most of these topics?
Final, completely random question, The lg g3 has this lockscreen widget where when it rains out, drops of water will cover/slide down the entire lock screen on top of your notifications. I thought this was awesome, but wasn't sure if it was possible to get on a note 3.
Anyways, Hope to get some simple answers

Safestrap is as close to a custom recovery as we'll get, right now. Due to our bootloader, stock based rom are all we can use. However, we are not stuck with one rom. Check in the dev threads for roms compatible with your device. Also check the dev and general threads for more info on rooting, safestrap, and how to flash roms.

Not sure about this one...
Not sure about your specific questions, as I don't use multiwindow or the other features you listed. But I thought I would point out, what method of root did you use? Make sure of what system your running at this point. beans or kitkat? You will have to select a rom based on that. Or vice versa, re-root if you find a rom that you prefer thats running different android version. Either one will run safestrap obviously, since there are roms for each. You will find pros and cons to each. The con that I'm currently experiencing on kitkat that has me thinking about going back is I can't seem to find a modem that will get me decent reception so I'm assuming at this point that its kitkat thats causing it. Just something more for you to research. Being new to it, you've got ALOT of material to read about. But if you've already rooted, sounds like you've got a decent idea of the process. For me, tutorial videos were a life saver

Alright so perhaps you can help me with just a few more concerns. I researched roms and such. I successfully downloaded safestrap, made a backup of my stock rom and put it on mycomputer. I also made a backup with titanium backup before that and it is also on the computer. I am looking at hyperdrive or jasminerom for the note 3. On there, it explains normal directions to install, but then it says to flash with odin, but when I read something about a tutorial how to install cutom roms on a website "Galaxynote3root" (I can't post the URL yet, says i'll be spamming) , it explained nothing of odin. What is odin? is it mandatory? Does my phone have it by default? hm.... Also i have a build number of NC4, does that build not work with NC2? sorry for inconvenience or annoying noobish questions. Thanks if you respond
So being on Kitkat, did you use the beans method that installed a rom with root basically built in already? And by saying you downloaded safestrap, is it successfully installed? When you boot the phone, do you get the safestrap bootup screen allowing to go into recovery?
If you've already gotten that far, your pretty well set to install either of those roms.

Well i rooted my phone via towelroot. I got safestrap hooked up and installed, so in other words when i reboot, yes it does have the splash screen. I am on kitkat as well. but do i need to install some sort of odin or something? sorry
I think as long as the rom's op says it's based on nc2 or nc4, you should be good. You should not need to worry about odin, since you're already on kk.
Since you're new, I'd suggest not touching the stock slot. It gives you a fall back if something goes wrong. Make sure you understand using safestrap, and start trying some stuff out.

Sounds like he rooted the nc4 with towelroot, cuz he started on nc4. And sounds like ss is working for him, if he's made a backup.

alright alright I'm very sorry for this final question as I actually have tried to search for this but only got comparisons between titanium backup and safestrap. So, if I were to make a titanium backup right now, after the fact that i made a safestrap backup or installation, will that effect anything? I'm really really sorry if these questions are beyond beginner, I just like to play it safe.

So, if I were to make a titanium backup right now, after the fact that i made a safestrap backup or installation, will that effect anything? I'm really really sorry if these questions are beyond beginner, I just like to play it safe.

Nope. Tibu backs up specific apps and it's associated data and stores it on sd. When you open tibu, it gets it's info from files it stores on sd. Recovery backs up your entire rom environment, but doesn't actually touch sd card user space.
This is why tibu is so helpful. Everything pops up that you had backed up, even on a new rom.
I'm not familiar with the towelroot method. Only the old Kingo for jb, or the beans method for kk. Sounds like your good to go for any KK roms, and Lefty seems familiar, good deal. Not sure how old you are or how far back your computer knowledge goes, so this may do you no good. Odin doesn't go on your phone, it goes on your computer. I always think of it as the old school DOS, or like now when you boot to command prompt if windows isn't working. Its like a back door when your phone operating system isn't working, or if you need to make changes to part of the system that would otherwise need to be running to make those changes FROM the phone. Its flashes the changes TO the phone from your computer instead.
I'm rambling. Its too early. Anyhow, glad your getting things moving along. You can try roms in various rom slots, but you may have issues. I had some roms work well, others not well at all. The ones that have problems, they seem to work better in the stock slot. So you have to wipe the stock slot and flash it there. No big deal, just don't goof up, flash it all at once. If you pause, take a potty break and the battery dies, whatever, don't forget, you have no operating system at that point. Thats when Odin would come into play

Alright so quick update. I successfully installed both roms into slots 1 and 2 respectively. Everything went okay, I rebooted system, but the screen just stayed black. They aren't loading, i still can go back to stock rom. But uhm any idea as to why this is occuring? Could it be the NC4/NC2 build things?
In the hyperdrive rom for the note 3, it says it will work with verizon and also states that after the initial reboot after flashing the rom, there will be a 10 minute wait until it actually boots up. I'd say i've waited 15 minutes and nothing has shown up. So I'm assuming something went wrong. Perhaps i should try to reflash it?
EDIT: I read the directions further ahead and managed to flash a file via odin for the first time, now im getting a rom's boot animation which is good. I hope this'll work !
Edit 2: I successfully installed it and booted it up, everything went okay, I restored my titanium backup and then titanium prompted me to restart. I restarted, and now its bootlooping android.process.acore or something like that is crashing everything =/

In JasmineRom's instructions it says to flash a file called unified_KK_Firmware_RE.tar.md5. After flashing it, it booted up to the new rom.But seemingly once i restarted after titanium backup restored everything it crashed. I then cleared all the cache and data through a factory reset in the safestrap settings and it started up normally. Am I not going to be able to restore my things through titanium? I would send you a link to the odin flash file, but I can't until I have a certain number of posts

No need. I know what you're saying. So flashing that file shouldn't have been really necessary, given you're already on nc4. But it doesn't hurt and should not have caused what you described. So you have roms in stock, slot 1, and slot 2? Which ones bootloop?
For tibu, I would uninstall, reboot, reinstall. Somehow it didn't like you doing that.

Alright so as we speak right now, I have slot 1 with jasminerom and stock which should be the untouched stock rom of course. I have a backup through safestrap of that. I will uninstall titaniumbackup and reinstall and see if that works?
edit: sorry I feel as though I'm being unclear as I can hardly comprehend my own messages. Before, both slot 1 and stock were bootlooping. This bootloop came after titanium backup promted me to restart. But when i cleared the cache through the factory reset, the slot1 rom started to work agin (jasminerom), I haven't tried stock rom to see if it works yet. I'm currently on jasminerom about to re-restore my apps through titanium backup like you said.

alright i finished re-restoring through titanium backup. Once it finished it provided a notification saying "batch complete, 66 elements failed" Right now all my apps are here and everything is seeming to work. Should I restart to see if it bootloops again?

You should be ok. How many apps did you try to restore, if 66 failed?
