You can only do backup for the USER APPS (the app that you downloaded, like facebook, skype ecc.), and you can use titanium backup to do it

To be safe, you can use es app manager to backup apk files. It's free on play and easy to use. :good:

Best program to back up apps is Titanium Backup.

Thanks for your answers.
I saw on one of the ROM installation instructions that after you flash the ROM they say "Do not restore apps from TB"
Any idea why?

Removing google account from Android

Hi, I had added my google account to my cousins phone for sharing my applications with him. But he didn't find any interesting application for him that I have installed. But the issue is now I cant remove my account, when ever it is trying to remove its displaying a message to do factory reset. I am confused, please help me. He will kill me if I do the reset and I cant afford to share my private google account.. Please :crying:

Thanks, If you can figure out the location, do let me know

Settings>Accounts and Sync>
Then select the account you want. In the next screen select "Remove Account"...
Or something similar should be there in your version of android. You'll find this in Settings in the place where you have the Auto Sync option...

Yes that's one possible way but you loose your applications & data if you do that.
You can flash your stock ROM again if you want. Which country are you from & what is your current firmware version ?

Kyrillos ROM ? Where did you get this ROM from ? Are you sure you're in the right forum ?
Anyways you can flash the stock ROM released for India for your device without a factory reset.
Hope this helps.

This will work on all rooted android phones without factory rest or flashing anything.
Go to root explorer
Then data/system
Delete account.db
Reboot
That's it hope it helps

Off topic question... I think I've asked this before too but didn't get the proper answer...
"How do I restore a backup created using KIES for PC... since I have custom rom and kernel KIES no longer recognizes my device...?"

Go back to stock with stock kernel, unrooted. Restore, backup with this, install custom ROM again, and restore data with this.

OK thanks... one more question... I have the "Poland" firmware... but I want to try European or UK firmware.. can I do that? Or will that brick my phone..?
The reason I want to use UK firmware is because its latest update was on November or December I think... but Poland firmware was last updated on April..

I really can't tell you that, because I do not know. I suppose you can. JetMOD is made from other FW, but when I look in "About phone" - there is baseband of my old FW.

[Q] Folders in New ROM

Hey everyone, new guy checking in. Just got flashing my first ROM on my i747. PIcked up the latest Deadly Venom, looks pretty good. So it looks like my phone is auto downloading my previous apps, not sure what triggered that, other than signing into my account? Now I know I can also restore my apps via Titanium, but how can I get my apps with the folders I had before?
Also is there a way to get my email account data restored rather than setting them all up again?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

App with folder ??? What does it mean..?anyway

As in getting my apps in the folders they were in before I flashed, instead of just all over the place, unorganized.

Do u hv a backup of apps.
As if u create the new folders on same name as the previous 1s. they wil be gone .
U can try recovering them by apps like un delete. Bt I cant say about their status whether they would b corrupted or not. So its ur choice. I would say try it. Its worth a shot.
