First I'd like to thank the Bonsai team (Mammon88 and Randy_T) for their work.
This little set of files is totally based on their work, I just modified it a bit.
I asked permission before releasing this, and I've left the GPL notices intact.
All changes can be seen by inspecting the files in the zip.
Thank you Team Bonsai!
:[Disclaimer]:
You assume all risks in using these files. Not me, you!
I will attempt to help if anything goes wrong.
But don't try blaming me for something you chose to do.
:[Description]:
There are two ClockworkMod zips, I'll break it down for each file.
ncDataBackup.zip:
This file simply backs up the /data folder to a gzip file on your SD card (exactly like the Bonsai Rom does).
The only difference is that it will store the file in a different folder and file name on your SD card.
The file is stored @ /sdcard/data-backup/backup-data.cpio.gz​
ncDataRestore.zip:
This file first deletes everything in the /data folder.
I figured this would be best so there are no conflicts with files that are already in the /data folder.
[NOTE]:: This also means that if the Rom your are using installs anything into the /data folder, it will be lost during the restore!
Then it simply restores the /data folder from the aforementioned backup file (exactly like the Bonsai Rom does).​
:[Purpose]:
I made this so I never have to setup a home screen again (or loose mms history, call logs, etc)!
For people who are using Roms that don't already preform a backup and restore of the files in /data.
And as an alternative to a bit for bit nandroid backup / restore of the /data partition.
:[Disadvantages]:
As stated, the restore will delete everything in the /data folder before performing the restore.
So anything put there by the Rom you are installing will be lost!
I wouldn't Expect this to work coming from or going to CyanogenMod, but feel free to test for me.
:[Benefits]:
Restores home screens, mms history, call logs, etc...
Can be used whenever for whatever reason (always good to have more options for backup / restore IMO).
:[Usage]:
Boot into ClockworkMod.
ALWAYS DO A NORMAL NANDROID BACKUP WITH CLOCKWORKMOD.
Install the ncDataBackup.zip, it will preform the data backup.
Install your favorite Rom.
Install the ncDataRestore.zip, it will preform the data restore.
Reboot the phone.​
:[Testing]:
This has been tested while running Bonsai v2.0.1.
This has also been tested coming from Bonsai v2.0.1 going to Quantum v2.7.
I only had one FC (gmail) when going to Quantum from Bonsai, and that's because Quantum's gmail wasn't updated.
I simply cleared gmail's data and cache and all was well (then I updated gmail through the market).
[NOTE]:: Both of these Roms are DK28 builds and support EXT4! Your mileage may vary!
:[Feedback]:
Please post your results, good or bad, I'd like to know how well this works for other Roms.
I'm thinking of making a backup/restore zip generator program so this method can be used for other phones.
So if you try this please post your results.
:[Changelog]:
[03-05-2011]
Upgraded files to Bonsai 3.x.
Now uses an included busybox, this should allow support for more Roms/devices(?).
Zip file names have changed.
Also changes have been made to the script output.
Tested on Bonsai 3.x

Thanks for this! I had my phone freak out on boot up during the zipalign process, which pretty much killed my /data directory. I had just installed Bonsai 3 the other night and realized the backup it made was not the normal CWM img backup! With your zip I was able to restore the gzip that bonsai 3 created to my phone.
Perhaps there were other built in ways to do the restore but your zips took care of my problem!
Great work!

Should be an update coming to these in a day or two, not much changed other than including a copy of busybox in hopes of supporting more Roms/devices.

Those having problems...
The backup / restore process was altered just a bit with the release of Bonsai 3.0.0.
I mentioned an update to these files yesterday, I'm going to work on that now and get it finished.
I'm not saying that the new changes will fix the problems, but there's a chance.
BBL with the update.

Updated, check OP.
Those who are freezing at the bootscreen, please report back if you test this.
-ps these files clear out davlik-cache, so the 1st boot after a restore will take a while (but should not freeze @ the samsungmobile screen).

Ok, makes sense. Curious, what does Bonsai do that keeps the apps on SD synced with the OS that this tool does not?
And thanks again for this. It has saved my bacon a number of times.

I would be curious as well, only thing i can think of is when Bonsai runs it does not wipe data, if you install a rom that wipes data before install it will wipeout .andriodsecure on the sd card.

Did you make sure you wiped data/factory reset? Also wipe Dalvick cache... if all else fails, restore to factory, then try again. I flashed BakedSnack v1.3 on my Epic with no problems at all. Also, you gotta flash it thru clockworkmod... good luck

Ran into the same problem, so I restored all my apps using CWM instead (boot up to CWM, advanced restore, choose the image that you want to restore from, restore data). Not really the best way to do it, but at least I got all my apps back.
I've installed this twice now. Both times I started from stock. It seems to work well so far, even at 1.3 GHz. All of the apps that I use that require root work fine. However, it seems that somehow he's disabled any access via adb or term. Anytime I try any command in adb shell or term, I get "permission denied". Has anyone else seen this?
Been running this rom for almost a week. very stable and looks great no issues at all. have setcpu at 1.3 max and 100min conservative. quad scores 1029 best.
Wish hero could make a bare bones rom that has his great skinning, then have zip folder for all sprint, zip for all touchwiz, zip for misc. that why everyone gets programs they want without constantly removing crap and it keeps the rom small and light and fast!!!
great work hero!!!!

I just use WinRar to add and remove apk's from his ROM zip before I flash.
Not a bad idea to format boot, cache, data, and system through the advanced mounts and storage menu in CWM when installing this rom. More or less no errors.... when oced to 1.3 there is virtually no load time with apps or rendering time for web pages.

Don't remove the DRM files - use a startup editor to stop it from starting upon boot or just freeze the processes with something like titanium backup.
Is it possible to flash via odin and cwm and some gremlins still lurk. I ask because i've flashed 3 roms today and each one seem to have the same issue with missing market app and such. I don't know if it's a app i'm using, but it seems wierd. I went from Gingerbread (where it started) back to froyo and flashed 2 froyo roms with the issue
Try RaverX3X's KC1. Unfortunately, I don't have the link, so look for it on this forum. That should clear up all gremlins you have.
Yeah i tried that the last time. Possibly I should do my flashing straight from that with the required stuff to get root?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
im getting the same issue, I've Odin stock kc1 without root then gained root, installed cwm. Then proceeded to install Audiophile Series: Redux. Still has the same issue. I've even odin gb Kg4, KG5, KH1, & KH2. All gave me the same problem. Everything works perfect up until I shutdown my phone and reboot it. Then I get the grey android icon with these apps:
com.amazon.venezla (Amazon Appstore)
com.monotype.android.font.felbridge (felbridge font)
com.quoord.tapatalkxdapre.activity (XDA premium)
com.touchtype.swiftkey (swiftkey)
net.everythingandroid.smspopup (Smspopup)
org.projectvoodoo.controlapp (Voodoo)
& of course my market app does not work either, even when i install the new market it force closes.
I have also not dont ext4 conversion, so that cant be this issue
Anybody know how to fix this problem?
Try flashing the KC1 Cleanup Rom first. That's at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1129933
Then flash KC1 etc.

Lol I'm sitting here and reading all the posts and lolling XD.Just reboot onto recovery and go to mounts there normally should be MUUM but when apps are missing there is MMUM (i think i got that right, the unwanted mount should be data ) after you unmount data reboot and voila none of the apps are missing.

No they would not be 'Odin'able, just easily extracted using 7zip and better compression, as well as a tad faster.. but no backwards compatibility..
and as far as I'm aware any backup going back to 3.0.0.25 should work... but as always YMMV, so don't rely on it...

Try powering off using the menu option in CWM4, OP wasn't referring to any other form of power off. I tried it, and experienced the slight inconvenience he mentioned - but it was as easy as selecting "reboot system" from CWM to get back to the main system, so it's not a deal breaker.
I haven't had time or cause to test much else yet, but this looks promising

I posted this in the general section, but no one has answered it. Please release the platypus egg kernel as a .zip file or post a link to where I can download the kg2 odin file so that I can flash the bali port. I want voodoo and refuse to flash an entire rom just to get voodoo.
check the heimdall thread i have it posted there last 2 pages
heimdall isnt working on my computer unless you posted an odin file in that thread its not going to help me.
Unless you are in love with the Samsung launcher vs. GOv2's Launcher Pro (or my preferance: download ADW.Launcher), there is no reason not to upgrade to GOv2 and get all the other tweaks in addition to the Kernal.
I know you say you've had trouble in the past, but just try it like this:
1) Boot in to CWM with the GOv2 zip on the sdcard.
2) Check your mounts
3) Run a backup
4) Check your mounts
5) Wipe data, wipe cash, wipe dalvik-cache
6) Check your mounts
7) Flash GOv2
8) Check your mounts
9) Advanced-Restore data partition only
10) Check your mounts
11) Reboot
Best case, everything works great and you just upgraded the Kernal as well as many other good things / tweaks, while still keeping all your apps and all your config.
Worst case, just boot in to CWM and restore what you currently have. You only waste about 15min of your life in trying, and I don't see how GOv2 could have any drawbacks over stock+bali (other then the alternate Launcher and themed icons/widgets - I installed AWD, unthemed all my icons, and I love the transparent-black widgets).
You should NEVER need to Odin unless you can't get in to CWM (which should never happen).
NOTE: When I say check your mounts, each partition on that CWM page should read "unmount" (meaning they are currently mounted). Check your mounts before/after each step, including before the final reboot.
I know how to check mounts. I want to keep touchwiz because of the themes. I really like the stock themes, and none of the launchers from the market have the option to view the app drawer as a list. if they did, i would consider using one of them. the stock themes are not really what is important. viewing the app drawer as a list is. my process thus far has been as follows: odin to kd1, kies to kj2, root, backup, flash rom, then restore system only from the backup. it hasnt been stable enough so far, but right now i am considering trying it a little different. i am going to get back to stock kj2, then delete all bloatware and all google apps from the system, then backup, then flash, then restore system from the backup, then reinstall any apps i want from the market. I also have the .apk file for play store, so i am also going to delete market and market updater before backing up. then after restoring system, i am just going to install google play store from my sd card. if anyone has any thoughts, please respond soon. i already odined back to kd1, getting ready to do kies to kj2. that takes a few minutes as i have to unplug the phone from the pc and reinstall the drivers through kies.
But I would prefer to just flash the kernel. I dont see any reason why they wouldnt release it.
well, after a very lengthy and complicated process, i finally have the platypus kernel on kj2. here is what i did. i started kies mini but didnt plug my phone in yet. i just went to menu and install driver. then i odined. after reboot, unplug the phone, back to kies, install drivers again. plug phone in and update firmware through kies. after reboot, unplug and install driver again. turn on usb debugging and root through super one click. reboot. install drivers again. then go through the system and delete all google and tmobile apps. get cwm running and take a backup. connect mass storage and copy b2tb to sd card. flash according to instructions. reboot. let the phone sit while i walk my dog. come back, boot into recovery, select advanced restore, system only. fix permissions, wipe dalvik, reboot. reinstall desired apps through market website. that was all last night. today i supercharged. so far so good.
well, its been almost 24 hours since i finished everything up. stable so far. no random reboots, no force closes, no screen lag or freeze, no crashes. i kept my backup from before the flash, just in case. gonna give it another day or two to make sure everything really is stable, then take a backup of the current setup. once i do that, im leaving this phone the hell alone lol.
To clear the record, I never had trouble flashing roms except for once and it was because i flashed cwm through rom manager before i knew not to do that. my most recent trouble started when i attempted to move dalvik to my ext2 partition. something went wrong when i attempted to move dalvik, and it got deleted. i had a backup and tried to restore, but got an md5sum mismatch. i did a factory reset through voodoo and it screwed up my apn settings. i restored default settings, but it didnt work. so basically after much trial and error, i have a stable advice again.

i don't have a flashable zip unfortunately, but what i've been doing is flashing the zimage thru Odin. if that helps you at all, if you're comfortable with Odin, i've been meaning to upload the tar file for the kernel that i made to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538576
WolfV2 said he would add it to the OP once i uploaded it. other than that, ReActiveDisorder had made a flashable zip, but i see that all his links have been removed.
edit: there's also nxd's tutorial on flashing a kernel with Hemidall here:

Wait hold up, what am I thinking... had a little brain freeze there!. You could just use nxd's build of the Bali Kernel for KJ2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663622
That also has the keystroke logger removed, AND a patch to improve keyboard responsiveness and efficiency!

I put the latest touch recovery from clockworkmod into a flashable zip.
It works with ICS. It is the same recovery as the one you would have to pay for to install with ROM manager.
TO INSTALL CWM TOUCH RECOVERY........
Flash this in recovery as you would any ROM or mod.
Here is the link:

**** This is different than sk8tr's version btw. His has a custom ui and this is CWM official. ****

If anyone is wondering this doesn't look like its a disaster just as 5.8.4.3 was. I flashed miui and it booted up fine but if anyone has any issues please share.

Okay, so I ran a backup and restore test on cm9 and cm10. I thought it was sk8t's version causing me problems restoring backups but the issue is similar on this build.
The backup file that gets created doesn't contain all the data for a full restore -- much of it gets stored in the "blobs" folder in cwm (someone more knowledgeable than me can probably explain better). Also, it takes a REALLY long time to create a backup.
Using the standard restore doesn't work on (on this or on sk8t's version). I keep getting "error restoring system" message and it won't restore. I tried to do an advanced restore doing each part individually but that didn't work either.
Restoring an old rom from before they changed the backup method works fine though. I haven't tried restoring using ROM Manager yet but I may try that next--I'm thinking that's what the new system is designed for...
EDIT: Rom manager fails too. Same error restoring system message.
Please post here if you can successfuly backup and restore cm9 or cm10 (or any other roms) so we can figure out if its just me

Did a backup on CM10 Alpha 1. It took awhile but didn't seem to take any longer than a CM 5.x backup. Modified a few things, updated a couple apps, and then did another backup - went a bit quicker. Doing a restore now but it's past the restoring system portion so I'm assuming it'll all be good. I'll edit this if it craps out at some point.
As for the blobs, this is new to CM6.x and from what I understand is supposed to make backups a little quicker and use less space as it will only backup what's been changed since a previous backup instead of the entire thing like CM5.x. Not sure at all on all the technical details but I'd suspect the blobs contain what's been changed at the point of backup and each backup "container" file indicate which blobs to restore...
EDIT: Restore completed just fine.
so you're saying that if I have a backup stored and create a new back up it only backs up the changes since the last one? If so, that sucks. I always like to keep a solid backup and then after numerous changes back up again and delete the old one. Looks like it's back to old faithful 5.8.1.3 for me.
(UPDATE) confirmed. My new backup was 20MB.
Honestly i prefer twrp recovery.. just wanted to provide this for those that needed it.
But, since TWRP does an UNCOMPRESSED backup i can have a nandroid backup done in a little over 2 minutes. Same for restore.. very fast.
TWRP can be set to compress the backup.. but i prefer speed over less space.

Thanks. There should be a "FULL backup" and "BLOB backup" option. I'm rolling with 5.8.1.3 cause it's never fu**ed me over (yet).

I'm not sure if I follow what the point would be? I thought the same, but after reading that and doing a few tests, I'm confident this will do just as well - if not better.
Might be worth mentioning/requesting from Koushik Dutta depending on your reasoning or need.
I think I figured out what the problem was for me in not getting backups to restore (but someone please post if you disagree). I was getting an "Error while restoring /system!" message every time.
Every time I make a backup I go into Root Explorer and change the backup name so that I know which rom it is. Today I did a backup and didn't change the backup name and I was able to restore it successfully.
Changing the name of yesterday's backup to it's original name, however, did not fix the problem. Those backups still won't restore.

I've always changed the name of my backup folder to make it more descriptive. One thing I read along time ago was that it only works if you don't include any spaces in the changed folder name. And I've never had any problems with restoring any of them. However, if you indeed did not include any spaces, then maybe it's been changed in CWM 6.

Didn't add any spaces. I only added cm9 or cm10 to the end of the file name (that's how I know I changed it back to the original names when I tried to restore yesterday's backups).

never had issues changing names of back up folders, what did you use to change the folder name , you could have a space at the end of the file name and dont even know it, use backspace to delete it, if u know dos try its naming conventions
sorry but how is this recovery different from sk8's recovery? That one's also CWM Touch 6.0.1.0 and also flashable zip ... ?
Thanks!
