Ok, I flashed Nothrillrs A700 build for the A510. It is fast and high sensitivity, but has got some problems.
I now want to go back to my stock Acer ROM...how can I do this? My build previously was _A510_1.073.00_WW_GEN1
Also, once I go back, what will I lose? I.e., unlocked bootloader, root, cwm. Can I OTA after flashing back to stock?
Any and all help will be welcome!

You surely did a nandroid backup before flashing the new rom? Easiest way to go back is to restore your old rom (boot into CWM recovery, select restore and chose the image you made before flashing the new rom). You won't loose anything as the restore process just re-creates your system to the point where you made the backup.

Ok, but the image size is just about 12 MB. The ROM I flashed was about 300MB. Will this restore all my apps too?
Thank God I did the nandroid backup. Everything back to normal. I never knew this was possible. How come the recovery saved on my ext SD card is only 12 MB in size, but this can restore every single detail of my system as per normal?
One problem: it says system updater failed. Does this mean I won't be able to get anymore updates again? Any idea why?
Update: I can't get refunds from Google Play anymore, within the 15 mins period after flashing this ROM, and even after returning to my previous nandroid restore. Any way to fix it?

Perhaps you ask too many refunds? I've heard of accounts being flagged to prevent piracy (it's easy to buy an app, copy it, refund it, etc.) for too many refunds.
It's not because of my ROM as refunding works fine when using my ROMs. You can even backup/restore to your Google account when switching between ROMs, so Google doesn't see them as 'unofficial'.

I thought the same. So I created a brand new Google account, logged in to Play store....and I still can't refund apps! Actually, the refund option is there, but not for 15 minutes. The moment I exit Google Play after downloading the app, the refund option will disappear. Before that I can still see it as long as I returned to the app page in 15 minutes.
I strongly suspect is your ROM. Can anyone else please verify?
UPDATE: Ok, can you try getting an app (just a cheap one will do), and then use it, do other things like run the web browser/play a game and then go back to Google Play and get a refund after 5 minutes. I believe with the A700 Franken ROM for A510, this will not be possible.
It's not my ROM, I've tested this before, but fine:

Refunded
Like I said before, it has nothing to do with my ROM, or any other custom ROM for that matter. It most likely has to do with the fact that you, as you said yourself, refund alot of apps. There's a reason Google brought the timeframe back from 24 hours to 15 minutes, they are trying to prevent piracy and I'd be suspicious too if someone refunds quite alot. Especially since most of the apps out there offer free versions you can try before purchasing the full version.
But, all that's just my thoughts, and I am not Google. Therefor I'd suggest contacting Google to see what's up.

Alright, this is a guide for everyone who has come to me saying "When I update, XXX.apk force closes" or "I hate doing a wipe every time I update"
What you will need:
Computer
Backup for Root Users
Google Account
SD Card
( Yes, this is written for idiots, )
What to do:
Power on your phone
Sync your google account
Run Backup for root users
Perform a data backup (first option)
Upon completion connect the phone to PC
Mount the sd card and open BackupRoot/data
delete everything related to the system
This is providers folders, htc.android folders, anything that isn't related to an app that you have installed
You should be left with just your program folders
These are things like nl.rogro.GScriptFull, and other INSTALLED programs
Do the update, wipe your phone, ect. (Whatever you had to do)
Run Backup for root users after opening any apps that have a EULA
These are things such as "Welcome, this program does some stuff" that appear when you first start the app and prevent data from being written until they have been accepted in full
Choose Restore Data (the option to the right of the first one you used)
Sync Google account
Congratulations, you have restored.
Now Backup for Root Users is a great app, but many people do not realize that when you back up all of your data, things like calendar and Mms may be different versions. Unlike installed apps that are meant to accept data from different versions of the same app, these programs may carry the same name but may read data differently. Things like calendar do not transport well, but by syncing your account you prevent losing anything because it is all reloaded by the sync.
Note: You will lose settings for Settings and Home Screen. These cannot be prevented and are the MOST COMMON cause of issue because the code for Launcher, Rosie, and the System are CONSTANTLY being changed. It's a small price to pay...
Great Advice!!! Thanks!

Ah, so you're the person behind this great app.
do you happen to have a thread/blog that explains what some of these backups do? I have a bit of a hard time decyphering some of them.
Correct me if i'm wrong regarding your tutorial twistedumbrella.
If the users are running apps2sd, shouldn't they run the second option of the backup "Backup Data2sd"?
As you requested I published an info page on my blog:

Slightly off topic I suppose, but could you [Blackgin] give us an option when using your program (as I do) to automatically backup only the Application Data that Twisted mentions above. That would save us the step of going in and deleting all that other stuff. You could call it "Pre-Wipe Backup" or something.

Easier said than done. You either have to index all apps and backup relative to that list (data is often a different name than the app) or index the system and skip that data (again variable by build). Honestly it would be a little too complicated unless you have set data lists just due to the variable nature of app name to data location.
Here is 1 more addition:
suppose u r gona have a wipe & dont want to do google account sign in again but want it to be automatically signed-in @ the first boot after updating,
Grab the attachment, extract & run bat file
It will backup google account database & will restore database:
Note: Backup When Phone Is running Means not in recovery mode
&
Restore after Updating/Wiping But in Recovery Mode Even restoring as soon as u update will do....

Maybe it isn't so difficult, I'm trying..
EDIT: Done
So if I am on a build using aps2SD, I choose that option right? The first time nothing backed up/restored properly
For me on cyanogen build, it works also the normal apk backup..
I backed up my sms while using Cyanogen 3.4.6, and i just flash JACHero, can I restore those SMS or will I run into some errors?

It depends on what you are using (app2sd or not) and what you want to backup..
If you want to backup data without system one, chose data-sys (or that for app2sd).. If you want a full data backup chose backup data (or that for app2sd)
Backup for root users doesn't work for me.
When I start the application the first time I click on always allow permission.
Then I click on any buttons to save and nothing.
Just a message very fast "Performing Backup..."
On SD there is a directory "BackupRoot" and inside 2 Directories "dataNoSys" and "sd".
any idea?

EDIT SOLVED the encryption/auth files in the folders called .______ <<-------- i don't remember the name but yeah i deleted it
So essentially I have angry birds seasons ad free off amazon that i got for free that one day it was free :O *lots of free*. Now im going to update that and a couple other apps and they all said Application not installed in the htc/android installer area.
Now here's the thing it's not just amazon apps that are having these issues, its market place too and installing apk's will have the same thing. Even my previously backed up version of seasons will not restore *I uninstalled it to see if it would install the new version*.
I'm going to update to das bamf 1.5 today *from 1.4* so I should be able to install the apps, but why would 90% of the apps im trying from amazon/android mrkplace not install *even if they had before*?
Note: I have over a gb of free space on the phone, sd card is like half full
Thanks

This problem usually happens when you flash a ROM AND a custom script all at once. For instance, I noticed if I flashed das BAMF remix and the desense script in one session, I was unable to install apps. I would recommend always flashing the ROM, booting all the way up with no modifications to it, then going back into recovery and flashing your mod scripts.
The ROM creators may have a better answer than I do though. Let me know if it works for you.
I didn't see the q/a section of tb forum, but yeah I dont remember installing any extra scripts. I will look out for it though when I update to the newest one.
Ok i installed das bamf 1.5 remix and I still am getting the same issue.
>_> for example angrybirds rio *from amazon* said this app is incompatible with my device *BS! It didn't say it the day it was released and it worked just fine...
android market place fails to install any angry birds.

I am having the exact same issue now after flashing tesla coil 1.7. I've gone all the way back to stock and I'm still having the same issue.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this?
I am going to reroot and try flashing the same ROM that caused this and see if maybe it was something wrong with the rom download.
I went back wiped and reinstalled 1.5 remix with only amazon installed and it still did not install anything. So the fw is conflicting with something.
Looking back now about 20 apps won't install same via titanium.

How do you have Amazon installed if you cannot install anything? Make sure you're actually wiping everything via clockwork.
Aside from that, try unmounting your SD card and then installing, it's helped me a couple of times when my market decided to stop downloading.

I downloaded it from their site w/o the use of android market place or amazon appstore.
Everything is wiped before install of 1.5 remix i cant get about 20 different apps to install/restore *the apk's were backed up using appmonster before root and Titanium back up after root. A backup on my desktop of both and on the sd card. No version of those ~20 apps will install *previously were installed and worked*.
*also i unmounted sd card O_O and it installed marketplace apps, now what would be conflicting on the sd card :/ to cause that. Hmm that's a temp fix, but amazon and TI are what I need to figure out.

I am confused with restoring process.
Some where i read, after flashing new updated rom, just restore the previously backed up data from nandroid back up. (to retain the apps).
Similarly same procedure i read for restoring previuos ROM.
So restoring from nandroid back up, will it restore the ROM, or only APPS.
If it restores only ROM, what I should do to restore apps?
I tried titanium backup last time, but I lost all titanium backup data after flashing new ROM, so i did all setups again. please advice.

If you do it correctly, I believe a nandroid restores the Rom AND apps/placement of them, so I'm not sure if that's what you want. Just get into CWM and use the backup option to back up your current rom. Whenever I flash back to stock, I restore a rooted, CWM enabled version of stock, etc. then flash another rom from there. I've also restored S7 from red CWM .
I do know that you should restore from the same color CWM or it won't work right. (atleast in my experience it hasn't) I would also use TiBu to backup your apps just in case(when you restore them "missing apps with data" is the option you use)

Thanks for your response..
main thing i want to do is, currently i am on cm7, there is latest update on the rom, so i want to update it, but i am confused how to restore the apps? is it titanium back up or nandoid backup.
I think nandroid back up is to restore the ROM, and titanium is to restore apps alone.
Am I correct?

Yesterday when I tried, I did Backup all user apps + system data, and after updating new ROM, I clicked on Restore missing apps + all system data.
But it was at 0% after 15 mins.
My doubt is: when I updated the ROM, why I have all my previous screen with apps intact? is that normal?
I tried again. again restoring stopped @ 0%.
Hello, I am quite new to the android scene as I have been an iOS user for quite a few years (No judging please )
Basically, I have DroidKang v10 as my ROM on my phone, and i am trying to switch to cataclysm, or in fact any other ROM, but everytime I change ROM and restore my DATA ONLY backup, I keep getting the "unfortunately com.android.phone has stopped working" or something along the lines of that, my guess is that its something to do with the back up and using different GAPPS,
Am i doing something wrong? any help would be appreciated

I used root app manager to delete youtube and now my phone only boots into fastboot I do have a backup in the manager's "recycle bin" folder. My question is, where should this app be placed? If someone could check their file browser and let me know the folder name and location it would be greatly appreciated! I've been led to believe it may be in /system/app or /system/priv-app but apparently the manager also deleted the folder or I'm looking in the wrong spot. I'm hoping that relocating the apk will solve my problem without having to reflash OOS. Thanks in advance!!
Try /system/product/app

By any chance have you looked in data/app? (If that path even exists anymore on 10.3)
And did you try to wipe cache/dalvik? (Maybe that would allow for boot?)
Hope you get it sorted out!

So I booted it up in the other slot. Seemed to be working fine, except WiFi wouldnt work. If I enabled it, it wouldn't even get to searching before it disabled itself. So i backed up with titanium (only user apps) and transfered files to the computer, and used the stock recovery to factory reset. Maybe I should've tried booting from there, but i went ahead and installed twrp, installed the latest 10.3 update i had saved from the phone (which was downloaded by OOS), and when i booted it up, WiFi is still broken Not only that, but after taking an hour to transfer my stuff back to the phone, OOS lost it on the first boot (entirely different issue, just venting at this point). So now I'm going to try the fastboot route. I found a guide from user mauronofrio that hopefully will fix everything. If anyone has any other ideas to just get the phone back to factory, I'll take them in case this doesn't work lol. Apparently Youtube is a very important system app!! :silly:
I'm finally back in business. The reason for my post was to not have to factory reset. Never thought it would've given me this much trouble (headbang) . Moral of the story.... OOS must run off of youtube app

That is not the moral of the story.
The moral is don't **** around with the /system partition. Why you didn't just use adb to disable the app is beyond me.

I could've disabled it within my regular settings. I wanted it removed so I could have a different version installed.

Rootless YouTube vanced can be installed and used alongside regular YouTube.
Yes I know. I wanted to delete YouTube. I wanted off of my device. I succeeded. The phone did not. Eventually, we will both succeed ???
