Hey guys, I'm back with another question.
Little info about the phone first.
I'm running MikShift v1.01
Kernal 2.6.32.21-gbd7abbd
I'm not getting Sprint's Visual Voicemail on my phone. It just text me and says I have a new voicemail. Is there a way to add this on? I've tried downloading MikShift v1.1, but everytime I do, it still says v1.01
Also, I've downloaded cyanogen mod7. The only problem is, when I flash to it, none of my messages or contacts come with it. Is there a way to load these on once I transfer over?
One last question. Is there Kernal I'm running current? Or is there another one I should be running at this time?
Thanks in advance for your help. Will "thanks" with any info given.
Thanks again!
Well for the voicemail u have to get the sprint voicemail apk. And install that ..and if u want ur contacts saved u can use an app called my backup from the market or just go to ur contacts and then hit menu and export them to ur SD card. That exporting method works on sense and cm7 and whenever u wanna put ur contacts back just go to the contacts app and then hit menu and import the contacts from ur SD card
Edit : oh and for ur messages u can also back them up with that my backup app from the market.or just look for SMS backup or something

Ok. I just went ahead and went with google voice after reading some reviews. I want to avoid the constant error messages from Sprint.
As far as the backup methods you suggested, I tried "my backup" and did a complete backup. Then when I loaded cyanogen mod7, I went into file manager and attempted to load it. It started to reboot and it stopped at a triangle with an exclamation point inside of it and the android guy. It just say there for 10 minutes. So, I assumed that means something was wrong.
Any insight on this? Thanks for your help on this too!

I think I may give up on these CM roms. Maybe I'll just stick with the Mik roms. I don't have any problems with them. Plus, they should have a sense with GB up and going, bug free here soon.
I appreciate your help though!

Ok, I have the latest version installed, app is on ignore list in my Task Manager and still it does not make automatic backup on given time ? What is the problem ? Does anyone else have this problem ? I want it to make silent backup on Monday while I am sleeping but nothing happened. Actually it was 02:00 on Monday, it should be last night then.
Cheers
Anyone has done scheduled backup in this app ?

Working fine for me ?
Just tested this and worked fine for me ?
Am on rooted handset, running on the R2BA023 firmware (rooted).
Sheet, mine is 020 rooted. Will try again, dont know what could be the problem. I am talking about nackup when the screen is off and the phone is on sleep, over night. Hope you have tried that and that it works.
Wait, does TB backup phonebook, SMS etc ? I have just read that it doesnt backup that !?!?!? What else TB doesnt backup ?
It doesn't really backup stock apps. I mean it says its backed up but if u try to reinstall any if them the option for restore is blacked out!! although some sortof file its backed up within the folders but no apks.. I think they were .tar files or something! hope it helps!!

No, I dont need it to backup stock apps, I need it to backup data from those stock apps, such as phonebook entries, received/sent SMS etc. Can it do that ? Hope it can...
Erm I don't think it does!! Never has for me anyway
However for both, either use mybackup from the market
Or
the inbuilt backup & restore app (unles uve removed it)
http://db.tt/DlNSuy
the backup data option is usually the settings backed up for that app!

Backup stock apps and during restore it prompts you whether you want to restore app, app data or both.
Hey guys i need some help, i want to install a fresh rom and just want to restore my Texts(sms) and contacts, any idea how to ? i try restoring SMS but it never comes back, but if i do the whole restore, i get my texts back
Thanks, BTW i got the pro Version
The trick is to find the CORRECT file(s) to restore. For example, I use Handcent for SMS. So I restore the Handcent app & data and then all of my SMS comes back.
Note: in order for you to see your contacts after restoring them, you need to reboot. (At least I do!)

Have you tried restoring the mms.apk data? I know you need that file to send sms so maybe they are stored there. If you type contacts into the edit field it should bring it 3 or 4 .com options restore data in the first or second one and reboot and your contacts should be there,j just did on my girlfriends transform but cant remember which one I restored get contacts with.
For the future it is easier to export your contacts to your sd card and download gosms to backup your sms

I'll try that and let's hope it's the right file.
Sorry for being a noob, but i am annoyed by doubletwist constantly loading by itself, is it a must to have this stupid app, or i can work without it fine?

I don't know about removing T-Mobile backup (unless if you want to reinstall it again)! Black Ice 2 needs it for contacts to sync! Off-topic, but of relative importance!

you can use Titanium backup to backup and restore contacts. i'm not sure if you want that service running in the background the whole time!
I've removed Tmobile backup. I have all my contacts saved on my gmail account, which sync's to my phone, so there is no need for the T-mobile stuff.
You can use Bloat Freezer (Paid) in the market, and use TitaniumBackup (Free or Paid) in the market to back up contacts if you want to remove T-Mobile Contacts Backup.
I just save my contacts onto my sd card by selecting "export to sd" and after I flash the new rom I just select " import from sd" and bam, all my contacts are back in place.

Use root uninstaller to get rid of anything you dont want.
use titanium backup make a backup and uninstall just in case u wanna re install and wrong forum to post this in honestly.
root app remover
or
Fast uninstaller
both work well. google for list of tmobile you can uninstall!
FotaFix also removes extra fota software you don't need in your on-phone memory
Yep, jst root and remove bloatware with titanium backup. But as the other guys said, dealwith ur contacts first.

I must have froze the wrong application in Titanium Backup, and now I can not get into the phone applications; the home button does not respond to bring up anything. I did have a backup in Dropbox. Is it possible to unfreeze the apps via my backup in dropbox?
Thanks

Umm.. That's NOT bricking your phone. Go check out GTGS ultimate unbricker. Done.

Well, I've managed to get the phone up and running by going into download mode, and then choosing delete user data.
This kept my SuperUser intact, the problem is trying to download Titanium Backup back to the phone. When I go to my android account, and try to re-download it, it tells me it is already installed.
Thanks

Try a root explorer. See if you can uninstall that way.
If not, do the whole thing. ALL the way back to stock. Then root 3e community kernel.. Yadada.

OK...I'm a believer. Got my Titanium Backup, backup and running. Ran the backup for all apps + data, and TB brought everything back! All my apps, all my email accounts and messages, all my sync software and folders. TB even brought back my book reader to the exact page of the book I was reading!
So, everybody can LOL at me...I can take it. I promise to be more careful in the future when I freeze stuff!
Thanks TB!
is there any way whatsoever that i can root 2.3.3 without downgrading. Im trying to root a friends phone but i dont want him to lose everything
Downgrading is pretty much your only option with 2.3.3. When You temp root before downgrading, you can always back everything up. Use titanium to backup apps and data and there are other apps for backing up text and such. Once you downgrade/root, flash a GB ROM and restore all the apps and such.

I think you can use MyBackup (free from the market) to backup contacts, along with a few other things.
He shouldn't lose anything so long as everything is backed up to google. Yes you might lose call log and some text msgs but this has happened to me so many times I'm over it.
You can backup your pictures by backup the DCIM folder on the SDcard.
I have written a guide on rooting ,backups and flashing roms here:

i use mobile backup 2 to backup contacts,calendar,text,and call logs. worked great for me
