I have installed 7.1 rc cyanogenmod on my SNS i9023.
Now i want to flash NSCollab on it, and i didn't find the guide, that tells me how to flash that mod over cyanogenmod, do i have to remove cyanogenmod first, and if so, how ?
Or is there a way to flash NSCollab over cyanogenmod, since its been build on cyanogenmod, and if so, how do i do it, if there is already a guide of it, could you just post a link?
Will my data be lost, and installed apps and games removed, if so, whats the best way to back it up ?
You need to download the zips and place them on your sdcard.
When in cwm, wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache and just flash.
And yeah, u r gonna lose everything after the data is wiped, so I would prolly back up apps with titanium backup

i'm using a htc desire running on cm6.
when there are newer versions of cm and i would like to update to it.
what is the best way of achieving this without having to wipe the data/settings/etc?
if there is no such way, what can i do to backup settings/data/apps so that once i update to a newer cm , i can just restore my stuff?
what about Rom Manager Premium, theres an option to check for rom updates, would Rom Manager update your rom for you?(and keep all settings/data/etc?)
Yup.
it does everyting. buy it. seriously.
vision
seriously?
i use titanium backup and it works fine for me..
another option to back up your apps & system data is the nandroid backup on the recovery menu..
titanium backup requires busybox and for that to work i need to be nand unlocked.(which im not).
i always thought that nandroid backup will backup everythign to a state, so if i were to upgrade roms, and then use restore, wont it just revert me back to the previous state(not updated)?

You are correct. A nandroid restore will undo your update.
If you're upgrading to a newer release of CM6, you should be able to do it without wiping your data. Wipe dalvik and cache, flash the rom, and reboot. You'll have new featuers but all your old apps and data in tact.
Nandroid backup first for good measure though
oh okay, so wiping dalvik and cache would just wipe all settings(including home screen layout, widget placements, folders etc?)
some tutorials that i've read about updating roms, is that i dont even need to wipe dalvik and cache, anythign bad about that?

Nope, dalvik and cache wouldn't even affect your settings.
The cache is the temporary cache used by the Android operating system, and the Dalvik-cache is the cache used by the Dalvik Virtual Machine. The only thing about wiping them is that the first boot will take longer as they rebuild their indexes and such.
Nine times out of ten, you'll be fine without wiping these. It's just generally considered "better" if you do.
Again, nandroid backup and try it out. If it doesn't work without wiping, restore back and wipe the caches.
I made a backup of my system in xRecovery earlier.
If I want to restore that backup, do I need to wipe anything?? Like cache?
Or do I only need to restore and just reboot?

the better thing that you can do its full wipe (factory reset, wipe data cache & dalvik)
when you flashed the backup do battery wipe...
full wipe its better because the apk´s need to zipalign again, do a new busybox, etcc...

Hello,
I've been using xRecovery for a while on my Xperia X8. I usually make a weekly backup and if the phone crashes then I restore completely the latest backup. This implies in restoring apps and data to the previous state as well.
Today I was taking a closer look at the "partial" recovery options of xRecovery, and saw that I can restore only the system.
Initially, I thought I had found the solution, as I would be able to restore only the system, and maintain the state of my apps and data.
However, your response above has confused me a bit.
So, if my Android's system crashes, I can't simply restore only the system, and keep the current app and data? What would then be the best way to restore the system and have the most recent data and apps?
Thank you,
M!©k3t$

Hey, I wondered if any one could help me figure out why about 75% of my apps ont work on a custom flashed ROM?
I have tried Revolution HD and some 2 others in the development thread. the ROMS themselves work perfectly fine but most of my apps force close instantly. when i revert back to the stock ROM everything works fine and my apps all work again. can anyone help???
Thanks
are you wiping everything, including data, and both caches when you install the rom? and how are you restoring the apps? titanium or something similar? or just downloaading straight from the market? if ur using titanium, make sure ur not restoring system settings OF ANY KIND.

Well I've used the revolution HD full wipe.zip which I would have thought wipes everything.
When it comes to restoring apps I've used my backup root and I've only backed up apps and media not system setting. Once I've restored them I've updated them to latest version if possible and tried to reinstall them which also didn't make a difference.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong.....
Thanks for the reply
Do you have to backup to stock rom or can you just install a rom on top on another without backing or w/e?

You should backup your rom before flashing, this way if anything goes wrong you can go back.
You should always wipe, wipe, wipe.
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Go to Advanced and wipe Dalvik Cache
After the wipe go back and Install zip from sdcard. After install I do another wipe on the Dalvik Cache then fix permissions. Remember Wipe, Wipe, Wipe.
so as long as I do that then I can install a rom over another and delete the previous one while doing so?

I recommend making several backups.
First, make sure you have Clockworkmod installed via nvflash. Then make a backup. Download the backup to your pc for safe keeping (just in case things go wrong).
Use Titanium Backup (free version works, but buy the full one if you like it). Use the batch feature to back up all user apps. Do not back up system apps.
When installing a new rom, especially roms that use different versions of android, you should wipe everything you can except the external sd card (where you keep your backups). Wiping "system" is important.

The best way to backup your apps is by using Titanium Backup. It'll backup all of your apps and their data, you need the pro version to backup call logs and messages but it's well worth it because the pro version also allows batch restore (without batch restore you need to individually press ok for each app that you're restoring). Titanium is by far the most important root app that's available. You don't need to backup your personal data (music, photos) on your internal storage because you don't wipe the internal storage when flashing a ROM.
When flashing a new ROM you need to perform what's called a full wipe, this is wiping system, data, cache, and dalvik cache. Using TWRP recovery (the best recovery) you enter the wipe menu from the main menu, then select advanced wipe, and then you can select the previously mentioned partitions to wipe. This does not wipe your internal storage (the user-accessible virtual sd card where all of your personal data resides), wiping the internal storage is never necessary when flashing a ROM.
If you're just updating the same ROM (flashing a newer version/build) you don't need to worry about wiping, you can just flash the zip and reboot. Only ever do this when updating the ROM you're currently using though, never when flashing a different ROM.
