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

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

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 :/

There is an option to create a backup in both sprecovery and clockwork.
You will be able to revert back using this backup if anything goes wrong.

After wiping everything, it will all be gone. Apps and widgets won't go with you but if you get Titanium Backup, you can backup each app and widget and then restore it once you flash the new custom rom and it'll be just like it was before!

I just flashed my first ROM last night and lost my contacts too. Luckily I had them all saved on my wife's phone. I don't know about your droid but my captivate asks where I wold like to save a contact when I add a new one. I saved all of them to my gmail account just incase this happens again. There may be an easier way to do it. But this seems to work for me.

Now that I am a pro, lol. I flashed cognition 4.3 and it's for sure way faster. Looks like stock rom, but is definitely way faster. Is there not much customization to be done on this rom? But imma start to read up on more roms. Thanks for teaching me how to flash!!
Edit: I know that froyo didn't require task killer, some people said that it even made their phone run bad. How about on cognition 4.3, does that need a task killer our does it run fine without one?

You can switch between 5 lockscreens
There are a couple of themes around for Cog 4.x if you're keen on customizing, just make double sure it's compatible with your ROM......and do a nandroid backup in case it goes pear shaped.
Forget task killers unless you have a really specific need.
I flash my first ROM couple weeks back. Was really happy it went with no glitches or problems, but all thanks to the help from here!

Well nice to see my help and recommendation of rom worked out for you. Now just read, read, read, and when you think you've got a question, read some more. I started flashing my phone day 2 of having it this is my first smartphone, didn't post until 3 months later and that was to start helping other people. Have fun and be careful font do anything unless you know what it is, and make sure you know how to recover from a blunder.
Ha, congrats, I too flashed Serendipity, my first, a week ago and since have flashed a nice juicy paragon kernel. It's amazing the speed! I've tried a few launchers but none did I like as much as the stock one. Until I found W7 launcher on the market. But I cross back and forth btw the stock and W7, thats what I like about it is it's easy to get rid of if I like. Great work on the flash, great people here, helped me out immensely too.
I do have one question tho, that hasn't been explained to me and may help you also. Harveythedog mentioned a nandroid back up and I've searched but cant find out what this means and how to do it? Can someone explain this?
I've backed up with titbu, and backed up my apn's, and my efs folder to ext sd, but I'm not positive I've done a nandroid backup.
What is REALLY needed is a sticky here with a step by step on what to do once you've flashed a rom. There's plenty on HOW to do it and what steps to take prior, but I haven't found anything on exactly what should be done after. I think it would be really useful for noobs like me.
great work
Stop encouraging him "haha" just kidding welcome to the party.
A nandroid back up is done in clockwork recovery under backup and restore, it makes a back up of your system so if you were to do something that breaks the os you can restore a working rom from the backup.
Good job on the flash no matter how many roms.i.try i keep going back to cog its the best one out there lovin the.battery life and speed

It puts it on the internal sdcard. /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup to be more precise. Flashing doesn't wipe the sdcard partition only master clear does that, but you should be backing up the entire sdcard on your computer before flashing anyway, so that will be in there, but a good rule of thumb in computers in general: if its important to you back it up, and back up the backup. Data redundancy is an amazing thing
make sure you dont rename it ever clockwork has an issue with restoring if you do, even if you change it back to what it was, so just dont rename. the nandroid itself is just named by the date you created it I believe.

"At this stage, you have successfully rooted your Nexus S on Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread but your phone will continue to replace ClockworkMod Recovery on reboot. To prevent your phone from doing so, follow the steps below:"
what's the perpose of ClockworkMod?
i'm asking because once i brought my NSN back up, it started syncing with Google, and re-installed all my apps that were removed automatically.
if i rename the install-recovery.sh and flash ClockworkMod, would that create a problem with my backup on google?

1. You need cwm to flash roms. Also you need it to backup and restore incase you need it.
2. Renaming install-recovery.sh will only stop your android os from restroring your original recovery instead of cwm. It will not mess up your backup from google.

Nandroid is a backup of your phones current state.
To make a nandroid, boot into clockwork recovery, then go to backup and restore. Then select backup.
This will automatically backup your current installed rom, kernel, apps etc.
Making a nandroid is always recommended before flashing a new rom, just in case something goes wrong while flashing, you can restore back to your previous state.
Sent from my Nexus S c",)
Nandroid is like going back in time to a previous state. Takes a while to do.
I personally don't do nandroid backups. But as a beginner, I'd recommend it so you can lean back on that.
The only nandroid backup I currently have is of stock 2.3.2.

no you dont have to. you can flash nscollab with any radio that you have. some people have better coverage/signal on a specific radio. i think it varies by location but im not entirely sure why people get better reception on the other. you should experiment too which radio is best for you. you can use speedtest from the android market to test your bandwidth.

Hey everyone! I'm a newb with boot animations and was wondering if someone could direct me to a tutorial on how to install custom ones? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I'm sorry, but you really couldn't Google this? No need to start a new thread. I don't mean to sound rude or something, but after being on this forum for a little while you'll learn that a lot of problems can be solved by seeking the answer yourself.
Make sure your rom supports custom boot animations. Download a boot animation of your choice. Copy the "bootanimation.zip" file and paste it in system/media. If you're like me and you have a bootanimation installer within your rom, you can just select the .zip and the work will be done for you. Alternatively, you could download an app that comes pre-loaded with a bunch of animations. Usually all you have to do is press the "install" button and it does the work for you.

Yeah. Google "Orthus rom galaxy s2 skyrocket" and the xda link should be on the first page if not the first result. Download the zip for Orthus Five, download the gapps zip and download the boot loop fix zip. Make backups, preferably in both Nandroid and Titanium if you have the space. Boot the phone into recovery, factory restore and wipe cache and davlik, flash the Orthus zip, flash the gapps zip and flash the loop fix zip. Reboot your phone and set your basic data up (Google account, wifi password, etc). Sign into the play store and redownload Titanium and restore your apps. Keep your nandroid backup in case you want to return to whatever rom you're on now.

If there would be a reset involved , I guess I'd wait for a rom that don't have to reset. It' so time comsuming to bring the phone back to where you were. Not so much the loss of picture sor music , it's more of the emails and contact merging.
Unless you really feel it's worth it then I'll consider
Thanks
sorry to hear that about ur device but wouldnt it help u better to ask that question on that roms page,i understand ur problem but i dont use liquid, so best advice i can give is to get ur phone into recovery mode and use a different rom and before u add the rom wipe ur cache
4.2 ROMs are still in beta mode. Expect little hiccups when you flash them. OK took me a few times of flashing before it worked for me.

gmail should automatically sync contacts and emails unpon phone set up. (cant take more then 5 minutes)
also look into titanium backup for individual app data.
wiping data and factory reset is a MUST for installing new ROMs.
if you think you "dont have the time for it", then i highly recommend you stay on your rom and read comments from others using the rom to see if it is worth the reset or you could just give up and go buy an iphone.

Honestly, I just had to say this is absolutely not true in all circumstances. Yes you should do so 8/10 times, but I can say personally that I've flashed over another ROM many times with no issues. Granted usually it was a new build of the same ROM and never going from say 4.0>4.1.2 or 4.1.2>4.2
Best of luck, I had some serious issues with Liquidsmooth (via a clean install) so I dumped it but hopefully it works out for you.

Ok, I'll resolve to fact that the LS Rom is in development and I should wait for a true version down the road. . Due to the situation I went back to the stock Rom and re-routed the phone. Since then, any Google search or Nav search, I get a Google error that Google has stopped working. I'll get the alert but the program will still work
Any ideas on what could of happened? Before the LS install, I had the recent stock Rom ( 4.1.1- I535VRBLK3) and was routed with no errors
Also, has anyone seen a tether app that works with JB. It seems that none of the tether apps work. I've noticed that on web searches of other forums and from the comments from users of the GNU.org program
Thanks for any help
Yeah.. So when is it okay and not okay to wipe? Between updates on the same ROM sure...
But I feel like your just gambling another 30 minutes of seeing or not a wipe is needed.
