I have a very complicated widget set up, but I would like to try some evo 3d roms. I know someone is going to say don't have so many widgets, so I'll save that person the trouble. But is there any application, hack or trick that will restore full home screen after flashing a new rom? Someone must know something.
I use go launcher currently and I backup my home screen. But after the flash when I go to restore the backup it's not there! All the geniuses on this forum I know someone has the solution!

I guess titanium backup might help you if you have rooted ur device. you can back up all ur apps (take home screen backup on go launcher) with data. Then after flashing new Rom restore ur apps. I guess go launcher will be restored with data(home screen backup). You can now restore home screen from back up that u had taken on go launcher. Not sure if this would help as i use launcher that comes with Rom i flash.

Thanks! This is the frustrating part of flashing roms and such. If someone invented an app that completely restored home screens with widgets after flashing they'd be rich!

Nova launcher does this but there are risks with doing it. Android is not set up to allow it. Even with Nova it states that if you allow it then it can see everything that happens on the screen from then on.

Can I import my Go Launcher set up to Nova?

No. You would have to set up nova from scratch and then save the backup

Is there an app that can save the placement of my icons before flashing a new rom? Instead of having to resetup my app shortcuts after restoring from titanium backup after flashing a new rom.

Depends on the ROMs, if both ROMs have ADW then there are backup options in ADW. But I don't think you can with sense roms.
Giving "My Backup Root" a try since it has an option to backup system settings. I figure the worst it can do is cause some fc errors & I'll have to reflash & do it manually.

system settings are not the same as launcher settings. 99.99999% sure it will not work properly, if you are going from one rom to a completely different rom. if all you are doing is updating from version 1 to version 2 of the same rom, as long as the rom uses the same base, you dont have to wipe data, which means your launcher, apps, and settings will remain intact
depends on your launcher though as already suggested.
Greatly dependent on the Rom and Launcher. MIUI backup offers built in desktop backup. And something like Adw would also offer this within the settings. Im not familiar with antithetical launcher bit I would imagine many of them offer this.

Did you switch between the same rom? or upgrade the rom? If not,did the roms have the same launchers?

Hey guys, so I have a question for all you that flash lots of roms.
I am currently using StockRom, but I would like to try Sky-ICS.
However, I have my current rom setup exactly how I like it, so if I do a backup through CWM or the backup manager app, and I don't like Sky-ICS, will restoring my rom bring everything back exactly how it was? Or will I have to re do my settings, and re download my apps?
It will be just like it was when you left if. That's one of the beauties of the backup. That and it can save your butt.

I'm using Adw EX when I reboot the theme will halfass reset. Meaning the icons will be half and half and themes without a dock will have a dock image. I know it isn't Adw because the other phone I use it on never does this. It doesn't matter what rom this always happens. All ideas are welcome except telling me to use go, it doesn't have the ability to only have four dock icons.

I'm using adw ex(got it on sale) and had a issue such as this only once, after re-installing issue went away(think it had something to do with the titanium backup)... Have you done the usual, writes and fix permissions?

I have a problem with my sidekick 4g when I try to go into recovery mode it freezes on the boot logo after that I tried charging it to see if nomorepowah would show up but I have to take the battery out for like an hour I've been trying to find the stock recovery and I can't find it I didn't change the recovery either all I tried doing a long time ago is install cwm but now it freezes when I try to go into recovery anybody have an answer to why its doing this?

Might have to odin back. I think its partially the nomoarpower's fault. Its obviously affecting how your booting, and it is a coverup for boot. Try removing it, and if it dosent work, then odin back to stock, then flash whatever you had. This might not be the solution, just trying to help

Download Titanium Backup and try to delete it.
Then install ICS messaging from the market.
I would assume this would work but I haven't tried it so back it up just in case.
Does anyone know of a backup app which will backup then restore all of my apps without having the install window popup for each one. I currently have titanium backup installed, but it is very tedious having to hit install for my 100+ apps.

Buy the pro version of titanium backup. Notice how the free version doesnt have hypershell enabled? Thats what you want, right there.

Thanks. I just bought pro and that is exactly what I wanted.
