hi all,
i am using dutty's rom dated feb 20. however, the cube really bugging me. I wonder does it work if I backup all my system/user data by using sprite/spb backup, upgrade to the non-cube rom dated mar 4, then restore the system data back? so I can keep all the program's setting. does it make the system unstable? thank you!
your an idiot
why not disable the cube?

I know that is one way, but I just like to upgrade to the latest version as dutty said there are some optimization.

That reply was totally uncalled for.
That is not a bad question at all. In almost every case it is NOT recommended to do a backup/restore between different ROMS; however, I see what you are thinking. Since they are both Dutty ROMS, both using the same basic base....makes you think.....
I don't know the answer. You could always try. If things did not work right, you could flash back.
My 2 cents.
maybe, since its been posted on here a hundred times or so, you could use the search or post in the related thread. i know these two things are realy hard to understand but maybe worth a try. is that better?

Much better
I know that there are a lot of posts about backup/restore across ROMs...that is not in question. This question adds an interesting spin on the whole concept....IMHO.
Anyway, I just thought you were a bit rough....no harm, no foul.

maybe info compiled and added to the wiki as an idea??
-doublepost-
just make a backup with pim backup and save the backupfile on your storagecard and reflash the rom of your liking and run the restore function (pimbackup creates a backup of your appointments,call logs,contacts,messages:sms mms email,speed dails,tasks,and some custom stuff you can add)use a uc rom where you can add cabs and tweaks
thanks all your answers
I have PIM back at outlook, i mainly concern the application settings like informant (u know informant has thousands settings), memmaid schedules/settings, path and etc.
those settings will lose everytime I upgrade the rom, and it takes loooooog time to re-configure.
So, I just want to find a way to save time

With many progs (PI included) you can export and import settings. That is what I do. I export my PI settings and put them either in My Docs or Storage Card. when I reload PI, I just go into settings and Import them. That includes your license key and all settings.
Ive looked through the site and found nothing about this, so i was thinking last time i made a nandroid backup,Could we instead of flashing roms just restore each others nandroids thru recovery and list all the features of the backup and put them up in a post sort of like the rom wiki? Then EVERYONE could definately find a setup they liked....just a thought. I dont have someone else's phone to test it on. Or are the number names on the nandroid backup files system specific? Any answers or info would be greatly appreciated. I think this would be cool if it works because we'd have so many choices of setups if ppl put theirs up,and it would eliminate bootloop,time for flashing roms and any extra addons. Then you can continue adding to or removing from the restored nandroid backup if you wish, or you could just leave it.
this is how the moto droid guys flash their roms. seems like ours would work...
I too have been thinking about this...
Only Problem is that is stores /data
And that is your settings and passwords for any apps you have used or market sign in etc
Also of you had any paid apps you would also not have to have those installed or the other person would get them and that would be considered warez and just flat out suck for the Devs that make them
You would have to nandroid right when you flash the update before you setup any passwords.
Or you could remove the /data part but then more than likely it will FC on multiple apps
Just A Thought.....
I think if we put up a repository for ppl do upload their fav. setups with the following specific information:
1)Rom name and version
2)Kernel if changed
3)Apps and System apps might be alot but nice
that we could all benefit and see some of the things other ppl are doing with THEIR roms. It would give the ppl like me who get flash crazy rather quickly many more options. We could just label them starting with NAN RECOVERY#1, with all the details and then go from there....
you could skip the sign in the beginning and customize and upload, minus paid apps and stuff, that way your contacts and google log in wouldnt be stored. but yea it would work
edit: guess it wont work. haha

everytime i try to rename a nandroid backup i cant get the phone to restore it...
This won't work, I've tried it. Ask me how? Well two of my Hero's died on me but thankfully I was still in the 30 day warranty period both times. Anyways everytime I've tried to restore my old settings from my previous phone but it won't take because it's a different serial number. I managed to get around that but once you flash the rom and boot up the phone EVERYTHING force closes on you. Even if you DO NOT have passwords/logins etc... There is your answer go try for yourself if you would like but don't say I didn't tell you.

NO spaces. Make sure there's no spaces in your backup name, use dashes or underscores instead

Thanks for the feedback,i did think this through way before posting. I would have become aware of those issues if i had someone else's device to test this theory.maybe if you want to upload you get your setup and set up your apps and then nandroid before you add your paid apps to your own setup. The benefit would still be the same, there are more good free apps that i use than paid anyway. So we would not be using warez and taking money from devs,and then just log into your own google account. That SHOULD work....

Date them with dashes and it will work, i do it every time to keep track. I still need another hero to test the serial number thing since you actually just named your backups the wrong way. So those results wont work. Because if you had named them the right way your results wouldve been different. Also we wouldnt change the exact backup name, we would title and then link to the file....thanks for reporting your experience

Danny, I too had to swap out my Hero and for the hell of it restored a Nandroid backup from my original phone. However, unlike your experience, I had no problems with force closes. The only thing that happened was that Gmail wouldn't send properly. I fixed that by wiping the Gmail cache. I don't think that issue is specific to restoring a Nandroid from a phone with a different serial number though as I've read others having the same problem on occasion. Also, assuming we'd be sharing backups that don't contain personal info on them, this Gmail issue would be unlikely to happen.
In any case, I like this idea. Perhaps we should be checking out how the Droid folks are doing this (as someone else pointed out). They might've worked out the kinks in this Nandroid sharing plan.
Any One Care To Help Me Test?
If anyone would care to help me test my idea,so to maybe get something going on the site for everyones benefit who like my idea and want to flash these backups, I will test someone elses if anyone is willing to send me one or a link to one;please leave the numbers unchanged for accuracy,or i can send someone one of mine becuase i have many from 1.5 and 2.1 with several different rom and theme setups that i would be willing to share to test out my idea. Anyone interested please just pm me...Thanks

Or you can pull the apps you use on your current ROM and push them back via ADB on the clean ROM. Kind of a hassle though.
ive done it, it works, just save the nandroid backup folder ie. BCDMRS-date-3463, inside the folder ie. /sdcard/nandroid/HT02yourphone/ with the rest of your backups.
then recovery, backup and restore, nand restore and select the backup u saved.
Thanks

Ok I've been searching for a while now and can't find a full solution. I want to flash the updated Leedroid rom to my Inspire but I don't want to lose ANYTHING. My goal is to flash the new rom and have my phone be exactly the same as before the flash, just updated. I need like a 100% guarantee. I don't want to backup anything to google contacts because it degrades the photos, and I don't want to lose any accounts or app data.
Thank

try titanium backup pro from the market
Well that's what I'm talking about, I've read about Titanium and MyBackup Pro but I don't know if they backup everything in the system. Like I said I want it 100% like it was before flashing the updated rom. I appreciate the help but I need detailed help. I've very new to the Android dev. I switched from an iPhone so I'm really lost here lol

Yes, Titanium Backup will backup everything, even system data. However, if you are switching between ROMs, you do not want to restore system data (eg. going from Sense to CM7) you will have a ton of issues.

Ok so I won't lose texts, call logs, favorites, settings, accounts, app data...EVERYTHING? I'm staying with Sense just simply updating to the new Leedroid from the previous version.
Titanium backup does not back up call logs, text messages etc. It can back up apps, app data and configurations, and system data. As said above, you do not want to back up system data when u are going from one rom to another. Even if its the same rom but different version. The only right way I know of to do what your asking is if the developer of the rom u are using offers incremental rom updates. That way, no data or configurations is deleted. You may be new to android...so I offer this warning to you....don't try and cut corners or invent ways of trying to accomplish something...you will either find yourself having lots of problems with your phone or end up bricking it. If it could be done, there would already be a process to do it, made by the developers on this forum.

I'm not trying to cut corners at all that's why I posted this. I keep being told what not to do but I'm still not getting the answer I need. What am I going to lose? What can I save? Using what? What is the best app/apps to get the most I can in a backup. I'm not trying to be ungrateful for the help it's just rather frustrating after searching for hours and can't get a solid answer. I hate when people are just like "no that won't work" lol offer the most info you can to help someone out. That's why these forums are here. Again I'm just annoyed a can't get a full answer lol

See that's exactly what I'm talking about lol I have looked it up this is exactly what the description says:
"The ONLY tool that can backup, restore, freeze (with Pro) your apps + data + Market links! Even protected apps! 0-click Batch/scheduled backups! PRO version has 0-click batch restores, Dropbox sync, Dalvik cleaner & MORE!"
That does explain anything at all. It's simple man if you know the info share it. If you don't have the time to write something helpful on here, I get that. But don't write something just to write a reply. I obviously need help so I don't mess things up. I'm trying to get helpful info not just someone saying "go look it up". I've tried. I keep coming up on MyBackup Pro and Titanium Backup Pro, but they don't tell me what I can't restore when I'm flashing a new rom and what I can't backup. Simply stating that it backups "data" and "settings" doesn't help me if I don't know what exactly that means. Just making a backup isn't what I'm trying to achieve.
The best app to backup IMO is titanium backup. But again, when going from one rom to the next, this backs up apps only. There is no effective way that I know of to back up your text messages, call logs etc. So the implied message is, you will loose everything that is not an app backed up by titanium backup. The main purpose of titanium backup is to back up your apps so u don't have to redownload everything. Other than that, the only other recommended backup method is nandroid backup through clockwork mod recovery. This backup is a full system image backup. So restoring through this method will put u right back to the same rom and version you were at. So in short, do a titanium backup, wipe, install your new rom, titanium backup to restore your apps, and start reconfiguring away like the rest of us do.

Not correct. TiBu will back up texts and call logs. It's probable you don't know that because you don't restore system data. I've never had a problem doing that, but I guess everyone has a different experience.

I understand that not finding the answer you seek in its entirety can be a bit troubling. But in my humble opinion, trial and error is part of this never ending adventure we call Android OS.
As stated above, Titanium Backup will probably be your best bet to get "most" of the backup you seek.

Exactly. Android is a completely different animal than iPhone. Android is built on Linux. So its going to be completely different. Not sure about the apps that claim to backup texts...never heard anybody use that before and I've had no need for it. I had the same issue with contacts but I just found it easier to go ahead and sync Google contacts. Because when you enter the world of flashing, that's one less thing you have to worry about backing up and restoring...because its stored online. And as soon as you install your new rom, and then sign in to your Google account, it will automatically download your contacts to your new rom. And whenever you edit contacts, it automatically syncs in real-time.

That's a valid point. It frustrates me too. But ultimately, when you start flashing, you want to find a way to streamline the process to what works best for you. And like said earlier, the android experience is trial and error. But again, that doesn't include doing things that's likely going to eff up your phone...unless you simply don't care about turning your phone into a really expensive paper weight. Then you will be that Guy that's posting on the forum....help! I messed up my phone.

Lol exactly I'd rather ask for help and seem like a newb, which I am, then be the one crying after I messed things up and it's too late. So ANYTHING I've downloaded including the amazon app store, which was a PITA to get on the phone, will be saved using Tbackup right? And that's it. Photos and all that good stuff are saved to the SD card and what not I just need to flash the new rom and then put my email accounts and I'm good to go right?
May have been answered before but searching didn't bring anything up for me. Basically I want to clear the data backed up on my Google account regarding Android (WiFi, Market apps, Settings, etc) so I can start again.
Anyone know how to do it?
OK, managed to find somewhere that if you go into your Privacy settings and uncheck the backup option it says it'll delete everything. Is this correct?
Erm I think so eddy I used to untick it when first install and everythibk would be clear
For reference, the above doesn't work. Tried clearing the lot, wiped all data and reflashed my ROM and it still restored my apps, etc...quite annoying really. I mean, its good, but if you wanna start from a clean slate it would seem you can't!
Erm ok soz buddy

Quick edit: Turning off backup DOES delete settings relating to the phone but NOT the Market. Must be a separate backup which I can't find!

Hi,
Is it one of those situations where they have you by the short and curlies,and will not let you go?
Maybe the only way is to open a new account?
I seem to remember AOL being the same...
Bloody well hope not! I've emailed Google so we'll see what comes of it but surely if you delete an app it should NOT come back the next time!
On a related note, anyone know why some apps I install are NOT listed under 'My Apps'? I'm guessing it's linked to my account somehow but, again, it's annoying!
Erm depends if they where downloaded from Google it self or if sourced from some where else they won't show up I should know
If u have titanium backup go to
Menu/more/market doctor and it will fix broken links to Google market

Randomly enough, it seems to have worked anyway! It said I may have to 'download any app' to get it up to scratch and, seeing as Superuser needing updating, I did it. It now shows all Market apps in My Apps!

Randomly enough, it seems to have worked anyway! It said I may have to 'download any app' to get it up to scratch and, seeing as Superuser needing updating, I did it. It now shows all Market apps in My Apps!

I'm just glad to have it sorted, was doing my nut in! At least now everything is cleared and setup from scratch so hopefully won't have to complain again. Still think Google should have the option
Hi Guys,
I have been considering it form a long, long time and I have finally decided to go root! (If for you that is nothing new, for me it is!) I believe I have read enough to try it, besides who have learnt only form reading? Now to the question - I have been thinking how would I be able to preserve the user data since it should delete all of it. I know that google automatically backs up my application data, but how reliable is that? What is your experience with the service? Also, I have applications that are form another store and I believe that Google won't back them up. I was thinking about using Helium or the adb backup command. What's your opinion on that?
Thanks

Helium is essentially just a graphical interface for adb backup.

Oh, I didn't know that. So you suggest going with either of them and everything should be okay?

The end result of either of them will be the exact same, as Helium just uses adb backup.
And how about contacts? Should I, at least, rely on Google for that? Or should I do this manually? And since I have pictures attached to my contacts, would they back up, too?

Check here: https://contacts.google.com/preview/all
Your Contacts app will also allow you to export contacts (but this exports pictures as really low-res) to your internal storage.

Thanks for the nice pieces of advice! Whenever I have time, I will try rooting and I will post the my experience.
