Hello all, a totally stock 8013, never rooted.
I use it for work so I would appreciate the best way of backing up and restoring that will get my app data, and background and apps back on my tablet as quick and easy as possible.
I would use Titanium backup but again not root which makes my table a great candidate for upgrade.
Thanks for the advice!

You shouldnt lose any apps when you update so I think itll be ok.
yes if you upgrade from ICS or any previous version to 4.1.2 You will not loose any data
If your device is upgraded by the OTA update you will for sure not loose any date
To use titanium back to back and restore you need to be rooted

I need the same, no root necessary and a Backup/Restore app, I saw Simple ADB Backup, does any body know it?
Hey all I have been lurking this thread for awhile and today I saw that we have finally been granted root access. Now I am going to be totally honest, I am a total NOOB and have no idea what i can do with a rooted phone.
Can someone point me in the right direction as to how i can uninstall bloat? And install fancy modifications???? I would greatly appreciate any help! Thank you!
For the bloat I use titanium backup. As for the fancy modifications I would look into xposed

You can PM me if you want. I'll give you some tips/etc. For starters make sure you are rooted and have the latest SuperSu installed. (Check the root thread for a newer version, dont think play store has been updated yet). And then I would recommend installing Titanium Backup (as stated above) and even buying the Pro version for $5, its worth it in the long run if you ask me. I';ve used it on the last 7 android phones ive owned. So it's well paid for itself. once your set there PM me and i'll give you some things to check out.
We may get Safestrap recovery at some point but that will only allow us to flash roms based on the stock kernel. We shall see.

Do yourself a favor and freeze the apps you don't want first, instead of uninstalling. Atleast if you freeze an app with titanium backup and it screws your phone you can just unfreeze it and be good to go. :thumbup:

So in these past few months, I've messed around with my phone a couple of times and a bunch of stuff happened, and I was unable to enter recovery mode. But now, for some odd reason, I just can! So I guess its time for me to flash a Custom ROM since I've had such poor battery life after rooting my phone (thanks to towelroot) and a bunch of other issues.
Do you think I should wait for an Android 5 Custom ROM or install an already existing ROM like CM11? I REALLY do love the Lollipop look, but I've been put under the impression that it's easy to switch from ROM to ROM, so is it just better to go to CM11 now and switch to a Lollipop ROM later on, when it's fully developed?
Thank you!

You can install CM11 now and when Lollipop is released, I'm sure that CM brings an update with the Android 5.0 build
And Lollipop will be released for the S4 in the next year, I guess, so lot of time since then.

okay great, thank you! also, I've been reading through the CM11 threads and I've noticed that there's a lot of comlplaints about battery life- how common is this?
and out of curiousity, is there a sense ROM for the s4 19505? i absolutely LOVE the sense 6 look, the settings page, the stock apps, everything looks very professional.
oh and, what other ROMs would you recommend for me? i know this is a very open ended question, but there's just so many options, i'd like to get some suggestions from people who are experienced. of course my priorities are battery life and speed.
thank you!

ahaha, thank you! also, one last question:
is the cyanogenmod easy install reliable? like the one on the website, is that applicable for the 19505?
do i just click on the get started button and just go on from there? or do i have to download a specific build for the 19505?
additionally, do i have to do a nandroid backup before doing this, and then restore again after its done?
also, has there been any problems with that? thank you!

Okay, first of all, you have to do backups everytime when you flash custom firmware. I recommend you to make a Nandroid backup and Titanium backup.
But when you install a custom rom for example, it doesn't make sense to restore the nandroid backup afterwards. Because than you restore the previous rom again. Nandroid is a complete system backup. This is just for the case when something goes totally wrong.
You have to read the installation introductions and follow them, than you are safe

What du you mean with easy install?
No, for restoring apps and settings you can use Titanium backup but be careful it is difficult to restore Touchwiz system apps on AOSP rom like Cyanogenmod. This might cause trouble and won't work.

like when you go to cyanogenmod.com, theres a "get started" and it instals pretty easily; no flashing needed. does this work for i9505? also, the only apps i'd like to backup are whatsapp, bbm, some of my games and my contacts. is it possible to backup my contacts?
thank you!

This will lead you to the cyanogenmod installer and this works for your device.
Yeah you can select single apps you want to backup with Titanium. You can save contacts by copying them to external sd card if you have one. Go to contacts-settings-import/export contacs. That's all. Or you download backup software from playstore but I never testet them.

just one last question:
do you have any tips during and after flashing a custom rom? some people said let it settle for a day or so, without re-installing lots of new apps. this would apparently minimize battery drain, but i'm not very convinced. does this work?

I never did that and my battery life is normal. I guess this is kind of voodoo or stuff like that...

i just found it through researching ahaha, but thank you!
i'll be flashing it once my phone is fully charged
so just to get this straight::
1) make a back up with CWM and Titanium
2) use the cm installer
3) reinstall all Titanium backups and apps from google play store
is that the usual order? thanks!

You're right, this could be. I never tried the installer ^^
I do a fullwipe also after flashing the rom. You don't have to but I do it to avoid issues.

Hi all,
i've a nexus 6p and i like to try differents rom, just to test them but i've a problem with titanium backup.
On every app that i restore with titanium, the notifications will not work.
For example, on whatsapp, i cant receive the messages. I have to enter in the app, wait 2-3 seconds, and i will receive the messages. Same problem with others app like tapatalk, forza etc.
If i uninstall the apps and reinstall them from the store, it's all ok.
Do you have any ideas?
Thank you and merry christmas

I wonder what I was doing wrong.
Hey all.
So I'm a fan of THIS ROM package, being the US996 NotSoStock. It's debloated and works great. Unfortunately this hasn't been updated in quite some time, and is difficult for me to flash now for whatever reason (backwards).
I use the latest version of TWRP for flashing updates and root privileges, and have purchased Titanium Backup from the Play Store because that's what they say works best for debloating. But MAN, do I SUCK at doing it. No idea what the f**k I'm doing.
Are there any other tools I can use to clean up stock images?
Thanks in advance!

There are lists out there of things you can disable. You would just have to look for one..
If you are going to debloat using Titanium I would suggest freezing and testing before actually deleting.. You will want to make a complete backup before doing anything.
Freeze an apk test and continue.. Freezing is nice because it disables the apk without deleting.. Freeze a bunch of things they will be saved in a list of frozen items.. Test thoroughly and delete frozen items as your leisure..
Things will get broken example dependencies of certain LG apks that are tied to theming ..
