[Q] can I rename nandroid recoveries - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

as the title says, I need to be able to distinguish them. dont know if I can do this and don't want to try it if it will mess up the file.

Yes, definitely, you can rename them. There are some symbols you can't use, and don't use any spaces. I just letters and date, seperating words by caps
Example

To make it easier. Do backup via rom manager and it will prompt you if you want to rename it.

Since that was said, I might throw in that if you make a backup with clockwork, you can't restore it with amonRA, and vice versa. Just in case there was any uncertainty. (I personally don't use clockwork or rom manager at all)

HTC inspire keyboard

hey I accidentally deleted my default keyboard for my HTC inspire through titanium backup and now I can't flash any HTC rom because I have no keyboard. Soo can someone please post the default HTC keyboard download please. Thanks.

If you flash another Rom you should get the keyboard back. As far as I know its included with the Rom. Reflash and you should be good.

Try loading. Attn1s stock rooted rom on your SD card and just reboot to your bootloader to flash

I can't help but wonder how you created this thread without a keyboard, considering it says "sent from my inspire 4G using XDA app" at the end of your post.
In any case, last time I checked recovery/hboot doesn't require an on-screen keyboard. Vol+, vol-, and power button.

hahahhahahah nice catch!
I have backups of cyanogenmod7 that I use. Those have a keyboard, but any NEW HTC rom expects my phone to have the keyboard already, but it doesn't because I deleted it on accident. Thank you for pointing that discrepancy out=/ Also to clarify, flashing the rom is possible, but useless because to get another keyboard, I need a keyboard to download a keyboard from the market or to get titanium backup to restore another keyboard.

LOL. What bs. The keyboard is in the rom. Anytime you flash a new rom or reflash one, a keyboard will be installed or restored. Now if you did a backup after you deleted the keyboard, well you wouldn't want to restore that backup. Download and flash the rom itself or a different rom.

Just rooted using revolutionary.....

So I just rooted my MT4GS using revolutionary and should now have full access of my phone. So now, how do I delete some useless apps that came pre installed on the phone like Netflix??? Can anyone help me out???

Root explorer or system app remover. Both apps in the android market. Make sure you backup your current rom.
Sent from my HTC Doubleshot using xda premium
What do you mean back up my current ROM and why? I currently have stocked ROM, however, I wanna cook that supercharged ROM on my phone that you have. I only cooked 1 ROM before on my TP2, so I'm not am expert.lol Hopefully it's not too complicated for me.
P.S. You are AWESOME....you ROCK!!!

Go into recovery and make a nandroid backup of your romantic in case you mess things up. You can easily start over with no issues. You can also use rom manager to make the backup.

Okay, made a nadroid back up and saved it. Can I now flash a custom ROM onto my phone? Will I be able to save all my contacts, bookmarks etc to my new ROM? And how?

just save ur contacts to ur google account and then setup ur gogle account with ur new rom and something else u might want is titanium backup to backup all ur apps
I am in pretty much the same boat as this user is. Right now as we speak (err..I type) I am backing up all of my applications utilizing My Backup Pro ($4.99 in Android Market) which will work with ROOTED phones from what I have read from the manufacturer.
Once I do this I will make the Nandroid Backup as stated? (Yes. This is a ? not a statement. >
Yes, that is what you do.

You would need to flash a kernel. My sig has links to them. Wipe cache and davik before flash also nandroid. They have issues like random reboots and shutdowns. Unity has one at 1.7ghz roman has kanged at 1.5 and an undervolt as well.
sent from my RuBiX infused MT4G Slide using xda premium
Most importantly, don't forget to make a nandriod back up. Believe me, you might regret it if you don't. Also Unity's V1 kernel is way more stable than their V2 (I've tried them both), ultimately, you will have to experiment and see which one you like best.

Because there's no stable overclock kernel yet in spite of source being out.

You can try my rom.... catyrom or any of the i9000 ports...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
I currently have tried refuse 1.7, caty 1.0 & 1.5; currently running caty 1.5. I would recommend caty rom, the only thing I notice is the data sometimes cuts out and I have to restart my phone, also it shows the rom as "caty v2.0" in the "about" section of the phone, but the post says 1.5 so I am not sure what it is. But it's very simple to install and to run. Just make sure you follow directions to a T. When it says to let it reboot and sit for ten minutes actually do it. DONT FORGET TO HAVE A BACKUP IN CWM. Make sure it's rooted, I tried to root mine with Superoneclick and it didn't root properly, I had to use the odin with 3e recovery and root preset, then I was able to install roms. Good luck to you.
Yea...sorry...need to fix build prop...lol...keep forgetting to do that...and the service cutting out may just be the modem...

Are you using ROM Manager? if so, that is probably why you can't get it to work. just 3 button into recovery mode, go to backup and restore, and click backup. It should take a little while to work, and you can watch it go through all of the files as it backs them up.

Do not use rom manager!! When you transfer ron from computer make sure you send it to your 14 gb SD card and it will show up...do not flash anything or download any roms thru rom manager!

It is also helpful to create a folder on the SD card named "1 rom" so you can keep all your downloaded roms in one place and then you also don't have to scroll far with the volume keys since the folder will be at the top of the list all the time

Don't ever restore system data with titanium backup. It can cause issues. Only restore MISSING apps.

Thanks buddy! I'm guessing this apk enables rooted devices to create mobile hotspots without paying tmobile..
It's the stock app, but with a custom APN you can tether with or without root.
Add a custom Access Point Name, name it whatever you want and set the apn to epc.tmobile.com, save it and set it as default. Tether away.

Is because it's a system app. Push it to system/app and fix permissions, then reboot.

I got it in system/app, changed permissions rebooted and no go, or do you mean fix permissions in ROM manager ?

It shouldn't matter how you fix them, as long as they stick through the reboot.
You can try going into system/app and installing it from there by clicking on the app. Might not work, though... Might be something else you need. Maybe an odex file, but I don't have root, so I can't pull mine.

Depends what ROM your running, if its touchwiz, it'll be under system/app and its named- Sec.MMS.apk, asop will be MMS.apk, unless your talking about the actual messages, if so, TB doesn't always save the data so u may not be able to gt the back up messages,

I am running TW, I made sure to save save app and user data. So if I replaced the mms apk I possibly could recover the messages? Worst case I get a FC and put original back?
