I wouldn't back up System app, especially if your going from Sense 2.1 to Sense 3.0 or 3.5, or to an AOSP/MIUI ROM, as some of the system apps won't work on different ROMs.

Thank you for the help you have been lot of help I'm new at this and I what do it right thanks thanks

No problem. That's what these forums are for, and I was new to all this and one time too

Plus if you restore an older app over the system apps, you are essentially reverting it back to the previous ROM. kind of defeats the intent of the new ROM.

good to know

Switching between MIUI and Cm7?

I want to switch between MIUI and CM7 and I was hoping that I could just flash each one whenever I want. Im currently running CM 7.0.3.1 for the HTC evo 4G if that helps. Thanks for any help

You can just make sure u wipe everything before u flash it and it should go alright
Make a backup of your current rom in recovery. Wipe factory/data, cache, davlik, flash the other rom, flash gapps, then make a backup of that rom. Then you can switch between the backups in recovery.
First of all thanks for the help guys but I think I didn't explain what I was looking for very well. I wa hoping that I wouldn't have to wipe and stuff. I wanted to just be able to keep my data folder and just have to flash the Rom each time without having to wipe and after restore

You'll have to do a full wipe whenever switching to a different ROM. The only time you do not have to do a full wipe is when you are changing nightlies or updating your current ROM.
All right thanks. U mind telling me which one is better in ur opinions?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Actually their both good! I started out w/ CM, the nightlies have a few bugs at times, but most of them eventually get resolved..!! At the moment though i use Evo Decks and/or MIUI, just because everything works w/ these roms and they agree w/ Tiamat kernels very well, fast and smooth and battery life is great!!! If you like changing the look of your phone often, then i'd go with MIUI coz of the theme manager...

I like CM7 but I kinda just reminds me of my old moto Droid but Miui thats just a turn in a new direction. I would choose MIUI over CM7 but both are great! Right now im running the rom from E prophecy, its just sense but im a flash-a-holic so I wanted to try it out.
All right awesome thanks a lot guys. Tonight I'm gonna titanium backup and then flash Miui. Thanks again guys

Well Im running miui now and I love the UI. Thanks again

switch to savage zens rom. Its super fast, stable, and fuzes elements of both MIUI and CM7.
I just switched to it from MIUI, and I ran that for a week after a month of using CM7, and I am in absolute love. I encourage anyone to give it a shot.

Just a heads up if you want 4G/Wimax MIUI doesn't have it yet. CM7 and Savaged-Zen do.
Im gonna download it tonight and try it out. Thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
i switch between miui, cm7, and savaged-zen pretty often. the latest miui builds seem slow on my phone no matter what kernel, and the latest builds of savaged zen dont agree with my phone, so im stuck with cm7 for the moment which is not half bad
Well looks like nostalgia kicked in because it still prefer CM7 out of the 3 roms mentioned here unless anybody has any other AOSP rom suggestions

Just make sure you have ClockworkMod Recovery installed... and be sure to wipe everything before you install... Also, fix permissions after it's installed.
Ok so I don't need to upgrade to stilick gingerbread? And I'm sorry but what do you mean by permissions? Thanks alot

No, not unless you want the new baseband because I've yet to see a easy to apply it without the update. Could be wrong. And that's for you to decide, but the the baseband improved signal and gps response on my phone.

[Q] TB custom rom without 4 in 1 boot option.

Hi,
Are there any custom TB rom without 4 in 1 restart/reboot option ? so when I press reboot/restart it restarts the phone right away like TB stock rom.
Thanks.
I'm not sure how experienced you are, but if you take the stock android.policy.jar and put it in your /system/framework folder of whatever Rom you'll get the resault you wanted.

How to go back to stock CM 7.2 kernel?

My rom is the official CM 7.2 stable. I flashed a few 3rd party kernels (Faux, Trinity etc) without making a backup first and now I wish to back to the original stock CM 7.2 kernel. Is there a simple way to do it?
I do have adb, if that works can someone give me the commands? Or a flashable zip would be beyond godly.
Thanks.
Easiest way would be to reflash CM 7.2 stable...

Yup, just wipe cache and reflash and you should keep all your settings and apps.
Hope this helped!

I always wondered why isn't there Roman default kernel in a zip flashable form floating around on the web.
It's much easier to flash a kernel than to flash the ROM.

Instead of making a new thread every 6 hours maybe you should start one thread for all of your issues.
To help you..you need to help us. What ROM are you using? What version of that ROM? What recovery did you use to flash? This might help you to get the answer you are looking for with just a little more info.

How did you flash? Custom recovery or Odin? For the limited time that I was on stock JB 4.1.2 I did not have the issues you are. Best bet would be to backup all your files to a computer and Odin back to stock. That usually sorts out alot of issues.

I was on 4.2.2 cyanogen (i think that's the correct name) and then used Odin to go back to 4.1.2. I have this problem for a while... It happened a couple of times before going to 4.2.2 but not as frequent as now... It's really hard to use my phone without having to lock it and reopen the app I was using...

So it only happens when you use a certain app? If so..I would say the app is causing this and it may not be fully compatible.

Wipe cache and dalvik cache..maybe fix permissions to. If that does not help...Odin back to stock again. Sounds like something got borked in your flashing process (in other words user error).
