since your device is not on the xda so you have to find other ways...
my advice is to find your device on facebook...if there is a group over there you can get on with other people with similar devices and contact a devloper for making a rom...

Surprised there was a forum for it when they have guides on rooting the phone.
> Clockworkmod
Is an alternative recovery manager
> Busybox
Is a set of commandline binaries
>Titanium Backup
Is a backup app.
CWM and Titanium Backup
Titanium Backup for backing up files?

Hello guys, I have two questions about clockwork mod.
I have lg gt540 and cwm 5.0.2.3.
1. Does CWM backup everything? I ask, because I'm thinking about installing android 4.0.x and I want to know if simply backing up my current system will enable me to switch back to it later.
2. I downloaded ROM Manager app from market, but it doesn't have my device on it's list. I can choose an option to manually flash recovery (since I already have it installed) and to choose which device and version I have. Which should I choose, to make app work with my recovery?

1. Yes, clockwork mod will back up EVERYTHING. If you make a backup right now, when you resore it, your phone will be in the exact same state it is in right now...down to call and text logs, apps installed...everything.
2. I don't have a definite answer on which one to choose. I honestly wouldn't even use ROM Manager. You already have CWM installed so why mess with it? You don't need ROM manager to flash.
Thanks for such a quick answer.
Hello everyone...
First of all, i'll like to apologise if this thread is already in existence cos i dont really know how to search through over thousands of thread created. I love trying out types of custom rom i feel wld be great. But everytime i install, i'll have to start installing my apps (backed up apk's) manually. Could anyone help me with any app which i can use to backup installed apps so after flashing a new rom, would just have to restore the backup which would install all app and its settings instead of doing it manually all from the start. i googled and downloaded an app Nandroid Manager but i dont figure how to use it.. It wont set a backup location. Any help???

Not very familiar with nandroid back up but i am using titanium backup(buy it, worth every penny), it give u option to both backup your app+data.
I think the free version has the same option.
There is also this app. i used recently on a game(pudding monsters) and it restored the app with the data.
Try both and see which works best for u.
+1 Titanium Backup do it well even free version
You can also do it yourself by doing a copy paste of your data/app folder
Titanium is the best way you can choise

This can be done by two way
1) Titanium Backup - This will ensure all your app and data will be restored on new ROM in single click
a) Backup all user app+data of old ROM
b) Create a Update.zip through Titanium backup app
c) Flash the Update.zip through Recovery (Post installation of new ROM) and enjoy :good:
2) Nandroid backup - By using this option , entire ROM can be backed up (App,Data everything as on date). However this can be use only if you are going back to experience the same ROM again.
1) Through Recovery take the backup of entire ROM
2) Through Recovery restore
3) If you are on S-ON then post restore flash the boot.img manually by using Fastboot command before rebooting the phone. It is must to do step or else phone will be trapped in bootlap
I always ensure following before installing a new ROM
1) Back up of Contacts, SMS/MMS and Call logs by using My Backup Pro app
2) Creating the Update.zip file of all user app+data as on date so nothing can be missed out (Not even save games of Temple Run)
And if I want to go back again to the earlier ROM then I used Nandroid backup. Which reduce a hell lots of efforts.
Dear all I want to change my ROM but by your experience I need to have answers for these questions
to have the decision to start or not please help me and thank you all .
First I have LG P500
android : 2.2.2 V10h
kernal version : 2.6.32.9
the phone is rooted
ROM manager is installed and I made a backup in CWM
1) is there any other backup should I have ?
2) is there any risk by installing a new ROM by the CWM / if yes what is the best way ?
3) if i have backed up the Ndrive through titanium backup can I have back in a new ROM ?
4) if I didn't like the new ROM with CWM can I have my old one as it was with Ndrive working good ?
5) what is the best ROM for my phone ?
Thank all for helping me
Note : most what I care is the Ndrive because I use it alot and it help me alot .
if you installed CWM and did a backup, is OK
no risk installing a new rom trough CWM, I have inslalled alot(I didn't try other recovery but if you want someting else search forum for it) any recovery is good, alot of people says that CWM is a liitle old and have some problems, but if it works for you, use it, I didn't have any problem, for installing new rom read careffuly the OP instructions, all of the post(do not miss anything), and it will work, read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901247 but not all roms are included, for that search http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=839 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1545
everything backuped with TITANIUM can be restored if you didn't erased it from sd card, by formating or partitioning(one more tip is to go in titanium folder in sdcard an extract apk manualy and install it), trough TITANIUM install app+data, after restoring do not open app, chooze ok and let TITANIUM restore data for app
yes you can restore the original rom by CWM but some times it will not work propertly, better try another custom rom that you will like(there are alot of them, serch and read feedback)
this is rr0yy (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4689008) post in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876951
"Go to your SDcard.. search and go to clockworkmod folder.. go to backup.. now whichever file you see.. Rename it xyz or anything WITHOUT any space!!
Try restoring then!! And keep a small name!! Dont use any special characters like $ & # " credits to him(good hint)
if you encounter problems with restoring a rom trough CWM
I like ICS, but you can search to see what suits you, ICS is good for O1 despite of ram usage, I like it more than GB(old), JB is too large for me and my phone memory
thanks but one more

thanks but one more question the app ndrive is it now working good with new ROM ??
You shouldn't have any compatibility problems with NDrive. I'd recommend that you flash a rom, test the apps you need and if they don't work, flash another rom.

I have tested NDrive on lots of ICS roms and it's working fine, haven't tried it on JB tho.
My Objective
I want to root my phone backing up:-
Stock ROM
Stock Recovery
Personal settings
Contacts
Device Config
Model: Samsung Galaxy SL GT-I9003
Firmware Version: 2.3.6 GINGERBREAD
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.DDKP2
Internal Memory: 4GB
My Action Plan
I've planned to root my phone following a safe approach:-
Make backup of the Stock Recovery on an SD card.
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery.
Using ClockworkMod Recovery, make NANDroid backup of the Stock ROM on SD card.
Root!
Problems
I can't find a way to fetch the Stock Recovery and store it on an SD Card. I've googled a lot on the topic, but could not find a solution...
I would be greatly thankful for any suggestions...
Tools I currently have
Odin program
ROM Manager
Terminal Emulator
Android SDK (which includes ADB)
ClockworkMod Recovery Image for my device
Super One-Click program
for root use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987169 or anything over the net
and for making a backup you should use cwm search for cwm for your device or use rom manager from google play to install cwm
and I think rom manager can backup the rom

yes rom manager does that but it needs root
without root I don't think you can back up your rom with anything so go on with the root

I asked for a file manager for Windows like PC suite for android phone. To transfer files to mobile and to backup. Hope it is clear?

You don't need one. Just connect your phone in MTP mode (or whatever your device calls it) and use the standard Windows Explorer. To backup an Android device you need a custom Recovery installed so you can take a Nandroid backup.

Search and read mate. You have a lot of learning to do if you don't know what that means, so you should start now.
I think his asking for something like Samsung Kies. I am also looking for a desktop application similar to KIES because once u flash a custom ROM you cannot use Kies anymore

Exactly I am asking for the application like kies. And the backup manager to backup my entire android system not just apps and settings without getting into rooting
Google "android commander." I think it needs root though.
Any other suggestion for the backup program that dont require root and create the system image of my android device??

Seeing as you haven't even bothered to mention at any time what device you have, it would be fairly pointless for anyone to try suggesting that. Any application like you are looking for will be hardware specific.
You can't backup apps and app data if your phone is not rooted. Take a look at My Backup Pro from Play store to view the list of items that can be backup with root and without root. I recommend Titanium Backup if your phone is rooted.

Incorrect. Samsung KIES does not require root access to carry out a backup. It's also possible to back up non-rooted with Helium, although I haven't used it so am not sure how simple it is.
