Sorry if this has been asked a lot, but i cant find it anywhere.
I am trying to figure out if there is an easy way to update the phone (settings, app arrangement etc..) after flashing a new rom. I flashed cognitions rom the other day, and had to manually arrange everything and i lost all my text messages and settings.
before flashing i did a nandroid backup of my old rom, and i made a backup of my apps using Titanium Backup, so that was easy to get my apps back on my phone, but i had to re arrange everything, and setup my phone basically like it was new.
So is there anything that i could use to basically import all my settings from my old rom, or everytime you flash you have to redo everything?
anyone... maybe even just a link to somewhere i can find some info?!
Sorry man, no help from me but a bump.

I know it is safe to backup just your application and app data. The restore put all the apps back where they were before.
But I have read too much bad mojo from users trying to restore everything. Too many things going bad after doing as full restore.
Personally I would stick with just the apps and app data, it isn't tojo much if a hassle to get set back after they are back in after a flash.
But other people might say other wise.....

Hello, i've recently rooted my stock froyo rom (and also installed franco.kernel v18.1)... I installed Titanium Backup also, and there are two LG apps (com.lge.wmc and com.lge.ers) in the list and they are with strikethrough lines...
I also installed Root Explorer to search this files that are stored in /data/data/, and both are with "rwxrwxrwx" permission
The question is, what are these apps?? what they do?? they are safe to delete from /data/data folder???
thnx in advance
Anyone? I'd like to know too.
Echo... Echo... Anybody...
I have the same problem too...too...
Yes update your phone. You are still in froyo...

I have some issues with my phone after I rooted it and uninstalled some annoying apps because my phone was running out of memory even if I installed only a few apps (it has only 128 mb). I know it is rather old technology but I got used with the keyboard and the long battery life...
Anyways
So I took a backup with Titanium backup which seems to be useless cause now it appears that there is a file that was uninstalled with one of the applications and the backup does not have it
The file is com.lge.ers and there are probably others because my phone buttons don't work and I cannot put the phone on silent mode
Is it possible to download only those files?
Is there any other solution that would help?
Thank you so much and I would appreciate your help
I'm still fairly new to anroid I've had my phone for a while. Its rooted and I'm slowly removing the bloatware manually. My question is: is is ok to delete .dex files for an app that I'm removing or is it like deleting a dll? Basically I'm wondering if it will brick my phone. Thanks for the help!
If you are just trying to remove bloatware save yourself the trouble and download titanium backup root. It will automatically remove what you want it to. Don't mess with removing system apps unless you are sure they won't affect anything else, just do a search on these forums there is a list of system apps that are fine to remove. If you are trying to deodex the rom, the simplest way is to do it via dsxdia kitchen. You can find more info by just doing a search there are threads on both topics.

Which system/google apps are safe to remove? Cant find the thread were they were listed that were safe to remove

Actually it's a matter of personal choice, first you have to figure out what you need and what you don't. but you have gain root first before doing this. you can use titanium backup or if you're on Gingerbread you can use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385187 to remove some, if not most of un essential apps that are pre installed,
but you have to be careful of doing this. i think it works only on gingerbread..
I am rooted, running aokp, not sure what system apps i dont need, as everytime i delete system apps after a reboot it starts coming up with a gaps error, and reflashing gaps last time didnt fix the issue
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
will for me i don't really delete it after flashing gaps instead i just freeze it with titanium backup so that i can use it again when i need it..
try to wipe cache/fix permission..
And safe to remove varies based on the ROM you're using, which applications it has built in, which applications you've installed since, which features you want to use...
If you get errors or crashing, that means you removed too much for your unique phone's build. Check your logcats to see which program it's asking for. E/ Means error... search for those.
Hey guys, i am interested in maximising my HTC One Mini 601s storage space and have seen this but i am unsure if i would be able to use it on my phone, or how to for that matter.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348256
Straight out of the box the storage is 5.2GB / 16.00GB used and id love to remove the bloatware apps but for some reason using titanium backup with root access wont get rid of them (they just appear again after reset)
Im pretty novice in the ways of android at the moment so i dont want to go deleting files using root explorer and brick my phone.
I thought about putting on the magio rom, but i hear it can potentially be unstable or mysteriously drain battery life.
I guess what i am asking is, what is the best way to bring my phone right back to stock android, remove bloat and maximise space?
I'm using Magio R3 and haven't had any battery issues. For me the best version of android for our phones, though I only used stock for a couple of weeks before rooting. I'm able to use the JMZ kernel which has some nice touches, and I don't suffer any wierd bugs. Though with this version a few paid apps are blocked from play store. But easy enough to grab else where and send them a cheque in the post. Magio has some apps removed but not all that can be. I'm still testing which can be removed and which can't.
Anyways.. Only had a glance at this rom cleaner but it might just be for Samsung phones. You wanna search for a HTC one. Personally I don't like these system app removal scripts. They always take something you use and leave stuff you don't. Plus they can still brick your phone if not specifically designed for your phone.
Personally I make a nandroid backup and use Titanium Backup to remove system apps. If you find an app your unsure about Google it, there are a lot of descriptions for all the htc apps on Google.

Thanks for the reply Ruffbuster,
Ill keep away from ROM cleaners since i can only find a htc one x version.
I don't think i am ready to replace a kernel, but installing the Magio rom could be on the cards later.
I have two questions though
1) Can i completely 'format' my internal storage before i put on the rom, or will that just brick the phone
2) Any idea why Rooted Titanium Backup cant uninstall bloatware (they just re-appear upon reset)

When you are i recovery ready to flash your new ROM, if you want to COMPLETELY loose all your user data, then you wipe a factory reset, then FORMAT data, it will ask you to type "yes" to make sure you actually want to do this....
You can't get rid of the system apps as the system is write-protected - this can be made read/write by either s-off (advanced) or flashing a custom rom (Magio) with the custom kernel built-in.
To debloat, check my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568061
Say thanks if this helps!!!
You both deserve a thanks, I didn't see that button haha.
Okay so turning S-OFF, I can only assume doing so will also practically roll out a red carpet to hacks and viruses, and that unrevoked forever app seems to make it easy to turn it off, but instructions are vague at turning it back on.
Just out of curiosity, is there a wiki for general android hacking and terminology?
And i will try your custom romcleaner file, it sounds promising since you recommended it to someone with a HTC One Mini
You guys are great, thanks for being so helpful
I assume you are rooted? If so, I can give you a step by step guide to s-off, back to s-on etc - it's easy to do, I've just taken out all the tech talk etc....
You won't become open to hacks, viruses - quite the opposite in fact, as you will be able to install adware and malware blockers etc.
PM me if you want to try....

Yeah dude i rooted it and its got superuser 1.0.2.8 installed
Perhaps later, its 11PM and im on painkillers for an ear infection so its not the prime time to be messing with my phone
Is there anything wrong with using moonshine/rumrunners/unrevoked
they seem fairly straight forward methods
I'm not keen on that method - the binary involved, revone, is 400kb, rumrunners download is 25MB.... Personally I'm not keen on "wizards" doing things you can't control.... Plus, you never learn if everything is automated... Hehe! Either way, feel free to give me a shout if you want advice or help.... Take it easy....

Cancel that... I followed the instructions here: http://qbking77.com/development/how-to-gain-s-off-on-the-htc-one-with-revone/
although i did get an "error code 2" after inputting "./revone -P" , i just carried on with the reboot then the next command "./revone -s 0 -u"and another reboot and it still worked successfully
