[Q]

Hi all,
I'm an inspire noob running exist's 4.0.3 asopX version 26 and he recently said that he was going to update us to 4.0.4 for version 27. My question is can I back up what i have to the sd card, do a reset, then recover everything using 4.0.4? Or will i need to do a wipe and manually put stuff back on?
thanks

As Long as the recovery you are using is compatible with your backup, then you can restore it with any Rom you are running. Backups from CWM are not always compatible with 4EXT recovery and vice versa

OK. Got it. Thanks a bunch

I don't think glevitan understood your question correctly, or maybe I don't. I took it you want to back up your apps and such, not the ROM version itself. And to restore everything back on the 4.0.4 version. This has nothing to do with clockwork or 4EXT recovery.
If he releases the 4.0.4 ROM as an update and does not require a full wipe then just install it over top of the 4.0.3 ROM. Most of the time the DEV requires a full wipe though.
Usually it is best to do a full wipe and restore user data with a backup app like Titanium Backup. But you only want to backup and restore user apps. Restoring system data can really mess your ROM up severely. Google contacts will resync when signed in.

haha Now that I see your reply I guess that I didn't get what he was asking...well, he will come back and get what he wants or will ask again...

I will say, no matter how inconsequential it seems, DO. NOT. RESTORE. SYSTEM. DATA. between major android versions. Let me refine that. I back up my playlists using Titanium Backup. I figured this was an insignificant thing and restored it when I moved from CoreDroid to aospX. Firstly, it didn't restore my playlists; secondly, I had to factory reset the phone < 1 day later.
That said, I WILL be restoring playlists and contacts going from AR26 -> AR27. I'll report either here or in the dev thread if it causes problems, but I have 6 g(mail | apps) accounts plus my FB account, and it takes me a considerable amount of time to get the duplicates regrouped.
Hope I helped. BTW, the free version of TiBU is pretty good, you just have to confirm every install. To me, it was worth it to get the pay version so that I could restore all my apps without confirming every one (right now I have 45-50, that's a lot of confirmations). It's also nice to be able to back out of a buggy new version of an app, or to be able to go back if you don't like the new version (I'm looking at you, FB.)

oh i see now. looks like i really lucked out cuz i flashed AR27 and his 4.0.4 then did a recovery. I thought it was a bit odd that it still said 4.0.3 so I came back here. Doh! okie dokie. I'm redoing a wipe and clean install and I'll just push all of my apps back from my google account.
Thanks for all the pointers about Tia Backup

Another question, after installing exitZs new update I can't record sound. I'd post in his thread but I'm still a noob and need to get my post counter up. Thanks for any help

Young, check here. Remember to thank the OP.

I really appreciate all the help guys but I've flashed both the InspireMod 0.5 and the one you both provided the link for. Unfortunately it still doesn't record sound. I am trying to send a message via MMS by recording it. But when I push record it gives me an error of Internal Application Error. I'll try downloading different apps to see how they work. Its just kinda odd the stock recorder doesn't work
Thank you all for your help.

You should have placed this in the ICS Q/A thread. Do NOT use the development thread for questions. thats why the restriction is in place, so people learn the ropes a bit before they are allowed in there. I would redownload and do a full wipe and reflash. And try to record your mms BEFORE you put all your apps and stuff back on there. Need a clean environment before you can dig deeper into this. Only thing you should put on after installing is inspiremod before doing your mms test. Id love to help test with ya, but i always remove the default mms apk from my phone :/

OK. Now I know. Which messaging app do you use?

[Q] Titanium Back Up - Striked out Apps

Hi guys. I am new to rooting, and finally took the plunge and rooted my LG Thrill. the main reason I rooted was to get hotspot access as well as freeze bloatware. I doubt I will ever use a custom rom.
With that said, after rooting with Megatron, I used Titanium backup to backup apps and to freeze a few.
My question is this: I have a short list at the bottom of my apps (8) that are striked out. The list is below.
1) What are these?
2) Can I remove them under REMOVE ORPHAN DATA without any ill effects?
3) Are these parts of frozen apps?
I haven't been able to find much info on these.

I truly appreciate all the help I have received from this forum...although I haven't posted much, I have read quite a bit and all of your posts have helped me immensely.
Thanks again!

The ones with the lines through them are just apps that have been backed up but are not on your phone anymore or are frozen

That's where u am confused. these were immediately there. Right after root, I installed Titanium Backup and those showed up strikes. I didn't make changes that I know of.

Prior phone?

Not sure what you mean? This is the only phone I have rooted and used Titanium with.
I would like to use the function to "Remove Orphan Data", but don't want to mess anything up.
It shows them as No backup yet...but doesn't seem to be a way to back them up...probably because it thinks these were old apps.
Can suggestions or advise would be greatly appreciated!

I don't see how they could be things that are not on the phone anymore as I did the backup, then froze a couple of apps and haven't removed anything.
You mention that these could be from frozen apps too...so if there was something that couldn't get backed up, then I froze it, these could be from those frozen programs?
So in practice, if I were to unfreeze my apps, I should see those strikes removed????

Yes

Backing up apps

Hey everyone sorry if this has bee asked already but, I use to use cm7 and I just switched to paranoid android build 8 and was wondering if theres a way to back up my apps like example(on the game 100 floors if I saved it to my SD card and re downloaded would it save all my floors?) Thanks!

Titanium Backup will be your saving grace. I use it to backup all my user apps and transition them to whatever ROM I switch to. Spend the little extra $$ and get the Pro version too. Well worth the money invested in it.

Oh looked it up seems cool(I know how to get paid apps for free not sure if I'm allowed to post that here though lol) and does this save the apps to SD card or phone or is it there own servers online or something? How does it work do I recover my cm7 back up and do this and then go back to paranoid android re download app and restore?

We won't go into discussion of the "free"ness you speak of. It's not tolerated here and I HIGHLY discourage it as a practice.
Titanium Backup will put the backups wherever you'd like. It's all in the setup.

Don't rip off the makers of Titanium Backup. Their tool is awesome and is worth the money

Good luck

Probably not unless u had them backup'd within a ROM backup.

For future reference...always make a nandroid backup in recovery before wiping and flashing a new ROM. That way if you don't like the new ROM you just restore the nandroid. That's the only 100% way to not lose anything.

installing 4.4 all my apps are not redownloaded

hello
i normally use the codefire 4.3 ROM, installed the karbonkitkat, and one thing that was a bit annoying was the fact that all my apps werent redownloaded? i had to through and individually install them...
anytime i re-rommed using another codefire nightly buid, all my apps were pulled down again...
or is there someting i can force to get all the apps downloaded as normal?
is this by design because its a different android version?
thanks

Why don't you just use Titanium Backup to backup your apps? Restoring from TiBu is so much easier than restoring through the Play Store. Even if you don't want to do it that way usually at least you will have a backup for cases like this. In my honest opinion, every single unlocked/rooted phone should have Titanium installed, it's the single most important app for rooted devices.

Hi.
If I don't want to use titanium, can you think of any reason why apps are not coming down post flash? Slimkat works, gummy not....
I have checked backup/restore options during setup...

I don't know. Why don't you want to use Titanium? It'd totally save your butt in situations like this.
