What apps besides plan b? can I use to help me recover?
and preferably wipe my sd card?
I was rooted
u can try wipe data
I assume you have android since you are rooted. Android lost from google play. It can be installed after you lost it and works great. There are lots of features like gps tracking, picture taking etc.

I currently have a Nexus S that I bought from a previous buyer who is running cyanogen mod 7 on it. If I want to restore this phone to factory settings( basically just a wipe of my data) how do I do this. I tried just doing it through the privacy menu in settings but that didn't work.

You want to get rid of all of the data on the phone? Or do you want to get it back to a stock rom? Or both?
If you want to get it back to stock, go here and find the proper rom for your phone and flash it through clockwork recovery mod. If you want to wipe the sd card there is an option to do that in CWM.
No Cyanogen is fine, I just want all my data off it so that someone else can use the phone. So basically I want all my apps, email accounts, calenders etc gone.

Ok, if you go into CWM you can wipe data and cache. That'll get rid of all of the apps/info. You can also format the 'sdcard' there as well which will wipe all the personal info apps may have saved to the sdcard as well.
Never mind, I got it. Thanks for your help.
I've been having a problem as of late and I was hoping maybe someone could offer some explanation, advice, etc.
Last Friday, after a full wipe, I flashed Liquid Gingerbread 3.0 after running 2.6 forever. I use My Backup Pro to backup and restore app data. I do not use it for anything else (no system data, etc.). I installed all my Apps from apks I had, then restored app data with My Backup Pro.
I then proceeded to move apps to sd with Apps2sd like I usually do. Everything seemed to be okay until I noticed a while later that apps moved to the card started disappearing, but the app data was remaining on the sd and the coms were still listed as installed. I uninstalled Apps2sd and reinstalled the apps, noticing that large apps (10 + mb) were installing directly to the sd. I checked the settings and made sure internal was set for app installations and tried again. Large apps were still installing directly to the sd.
Thinking that maybe I didn't wipe properly (lol) I did another full wipe (system, data, cache, davlik) and reflashed LGB 3.0. I did the same process as above with installing and restoring app data. I rebooted my phone to find that large Apps were still installing directly to the sd, and still disappearing and still leaving behind data on the sd.
I thought it was a ROM issue at this point so I did another full wipe and flashed iBolt 0.9. Still having the same problem so I know it's my phone.
I have a few ideas of what is happening but I don't know how to fix it. Is there something on my sd card that is affecting the way apps are installed? Is there a cm7 setting I'm missing somewhere that is affecting it? Are my wipes somehow leaving behind remnants? I know this is long but I was trying to be as specific as possible in hopes of some feedback. If someone has any ideas as to what is happening I'll try anything to see if it fixes it.
My apologies if there is a thread about this already here but Tapatalk search is seriously lacking.

The problem is below you. Lock your apps or DC will take your apps 2 !!

Hi
I flashed the Hydrog3n ROM today mainly for the customization tools for the status bar and drop down menu. It does look pretty good, however, since I am a NOOB I am struggling to install the google play market so I can install all my apps again. Anybody know how to do it and also, is it possible to install Titanium backup and restore apps + data rather than reinstalling everything from the market? I tried this once before but without any joy!
Any help would be gratefully received
Thanks..
P.S I also noticed it does not recognise my SD card, I am unable to see what is on the external SD from the root explorer on the ROM, even though there is data on it.
Here you go if its a gb rom -
I'm a noob, can you please explain how to install these apps? I have a Samsung galaxy s2, and i recently installed Hydrog3n. Thanks in advance.
Hi all,
So I have a Nexus 4 on order and would like to backup my Nexus S. I'm currentyl running 4.1.2. I'm willing to root my phone if necessary, but have heard that it may not be possible to back up the phone since I am on 4.1.2. Could someone please give me direction? I'm looking to backup save games such as Angry Birds.
If you're talking about backing up your apps along with saved data such as those for games, I suggest you buy titanium backup pro from the Play Store. It's a very robust tool and you won't regret buying it.
However if you are talking actual ROM or what we call nandroid backup, then you really have to root your phone.
Try "my backup" from the market. I used it once when I rooted my wife's phone..... might need paid version to load data to another phone though......

Both of these programs require root. But when I root, won't I lose all of my data and have to wipe the phone? Or is there a way to root 4.1.2 without wiping the phone?
Sorry.....thought my backup saved data for apps also..... don't believe there is a way for you to save your data without root.....and rooting will cause you to wipe your phone
Craft. Beer.
Will either of these methods work?

Hi, I am using Samsung Galaxy 3 (i5801) from past 2 years. Recently I am started experiencing memory bloat issue. I have only 30 apps installed and still I have only 20MB internal memory left. I tried clearing all unnecessary data from Application section in Settings. I also moved few apps to SD card. Still there is not increase in free internal memory. Due to this my phone's performance has drastically reduced and m quite frustrated with it
I am thinking to do a factory reset now to get back my internal memory. Can anyone suggest how much will this help in resolving the issue. Also can anyone tell me what data I will lose if I go for a factory reset. Will I lose all the apps (including Google Play, YouTube, Calculator,All Share, etc which came pre installed when I bought the phone)???
Kindly let me know if any other way exists to resolve my problem.
Thanks in advance....
Some info about factory reset...
Factory reset erases only /data and /cache - any data you stored, any apps you installed, any settings you configured WILL BE LOST.
SYSTEM apps will stay as they were.
Also, If you upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2, you will still have 2.2 installed because /system folder doesn't get deleted when doing factory reset.
If you rooted the phone, root will STAY too.
I don't know if you're rooted, probably not as if you were, you will NOT be facing those problems
When you are rooted, you can try eg. Link2SD app (download from the play store) and move teoretically EVERY app to the sdcard.
And as I'm not an expert with this app moving stuff, maybe some other geek can help you out with this
