[Q] Backup apps on stock GB - LG Optimus 3D

Hi to all !
I wonder is there any chance to backup my apps from stock GB 2.3.5 rom without rooting the phone?
I've been searching around a little bit about it but i haven't found any similar procedure/guide that describes backing up apps
from stock, unrooted phone.
Maybe it sounds a bit noobish but i can't believe that there isn't any possibility to back up without rooting.
For me it's matter of principle..i don't wanna root, don't wanna custom recovery, custom rom, etc..i just want to back up 1 special app
and that's all..
Maybe someone could show me the path :\

[Q] How to get back to custom roms?

Hey guys, hope you can help me out. I was on a custom rom then was having issues with the radio and what not and GPS not working. I decided to do RUU and get back to stock ROM. What is the best way to get back to custom ROMS? Do I have to redo the hack kit? If it helps, I still have s-off. Thank you.
EDIT: Only reason I was asking was because the hard drive on my desktop where I had all the files and stuff for rooting, crashed and lost everything. Was looking to see if there was another method to load a custom rom. Tried CWM and it says it needs superuser permission...

[Q] Backup for Unrooted?

I apologize if this is answered someone, but I couldnt find it. I just switched over to Samsung Charge and to Android for that matter (windows mobile) so im back to being a damn noob! anyway, I know a lot of ppl use titanium backup, but that seems to only work if you are rooted. I've been running stock for a while now, getting used to android. I want to root and start using custom roms, but I know doing so will cuz me to lose all my data. Contacts r no big deal cuz they r backed up on gmail, but all the apps ive downloaded, texts, pics, music, etc. I dont want to lose all that stuff if I don't have to. I knew a bunch of ways to backup on my TP2 but no clue what to use on an android. Any suggestions? Again I apologize if this has been asked and answered 100 times.
You don't necessarily have to lose everything when you root. You will if you flash a custom rom, but you can root on the stock rom without wiping. If you want to flash a custom rom, you can still root this way, back everything up with TiBu, and then flash the rom. If you go to the site below (managed by trparky), you can follow the "Rooting (No Custom Kernel)" instructions and you will only get root...no custom kernel and no rom. You will also lose nothing.

[Q] Planning to root and put a custom rom on a friends phone

Hi there, my friend is coming round soon and I was planning to give it a custom rom
Now, I've done this type of stuff before (on my nexus) I just want to see how you would do it for this samsung phone
Now, what recoveries can you get? I use 4EXT on mine
And, can anybody send me to a stable and up-to-date rom that can be used everyday and has nearly no issues? I need one without all the samsung stuff, just a normal default android one
And, how would I go by rooting the phone?
On mine, I used the zergrush exploit, does it work for this phone??
If you want one with everything working, then use the Froyo roms. CM7 is under development. The major bugs are bluetooth and youtube hq. Leaving that, even thats useable. It's even better than Froyo.
I suggest you to try either Kyorarom or Kyrillos v9.6. Both of them are froyo based, pre-rooted, and have other mods to make it even more faster than a stock one.
Happy flashing!

Thanks, and how do I go about flashing the rom, would I have to root it first?
No need.
This is something to good to read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372414
BTW to root the phone use super one click root (or sth like that )
Ah, I get it now, thanks
Just one more question, does ODIN delete the phones data before installing the rom?
You have to wipe all your data after flashing(or not if from Froyo to Froyo)
I mean from recovery. ODIN don't delete user data
I exactly I don't know the working of odin, but after flashing you are directly taken to the recovery and advised to wipe data and factory reset.

[Q] n00b to custom ROMs

Hi, I'm new to flashing ROM's and wanted to give this a try, but I had a few questions (I searched and read the wiki, but I didn't see these specific questions):
I have the Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket on ATT. I'm rooted on Stock GB 2.3.6
1. I wanted to try flashing this ROM([ROM][CyanogenMod 9 (unofficial)][TeamChopsticks][Alpha 1 - 4/26]), Can I come from gingerbread if I follow the instructions in post 1? Or do I need to have an ICS leak installed first?
2. I assume I can revert back to my rooted-stock ROM by using CWM with my current restore point?
3. If I restore the backup from step-2, does it restore the original radio (the UCLA3 radio)? Or am I stuck with the new one? Any disadvantes to just leaving the new one installed?
4. When flashing the new radio, is it just like flashing a ROM in CWM?
5. How would I get all my apps back on the custom ROM? (I know the contacts are linked to the google cloud) I have titanium backup pro installed now, but I read something about not restoring the apps across different ROMs?
6. If I decide to go back to my stock ROM after looking at a few custom ROMs, would I be able to get the ATT OTA updates? (I know I'd need to un-root and un-freeze all the bloatware, but I assume installing the custom ROM's would trigger the flash counter?)
7. I keep hearing about the "yellow triangle" when the flash counter is triggered. Does it only happen at boot and go away after that? Or is it always there?
Thanks in advance!

1) if you're a newb I wouldn't recommend flashing alpha versions of anything
2)You can revert back
3)No, flash a ginger radio before restoring
4)Yes, wipe cache/dalvik cache
5)You can restore apps accross the same OS, but I never do
6)Yes, if you're on official software. It wont trigger unless you flash with odin or sometimes a custom kernel like cm will trigger it. No big deal, we have a counter reset.
7)only at boot, we have counter reset, so no worries
Wow, that was a quick reply! Thanks.
Sorry if I'm dense, I just wanted to clarify two things before proceeding.
Re 1: I also saw another ROM I wanted to try, I guess I'll do that one ([ROM]SKY ICS--- 4.2D-9). Thanks for the heads up.
Re 3: From your response, am I correct to understand I can't use an ICS radio with GB? (it just wont work? or there's no advantage to keeping it?)
Re 5: Same OS meaning inside GB based ROMs or ICS based ROMs? If I go from stock GB to custom ICS, I need to re-download each app individually?

1) very good choice, I run it and it is outstanding.
3)they will have a RIL mismatch. You can use them by deleting the system folder out of it, but I would just use the la3 radio and flash that before the rom. After a full wipe, of course.
5)Right, it ensures everything will be clean and run right.

Rooting STAR N9589

It's coming from China so I imagine there will be a few annoying icons but nothing major.
I want to root the phone.
Then install a CFWM & Backup Original Stock Rom
I don't plan on using anything other than the orginal stock rom however one day if I fancy a play and mess it up I can roll back.
The main thing I carer about is the root feature.
Anyone suggest any tutorials I cant find any specific for this phone just copys of roms from need rom, I need to know how to root and instal CFWM first!
Also can I chose what rom to boot when powering on, almost like running it dualm boot, one for work and one for play?
Thanks
