Hey guys quick question. If im wanting to try another ROM but dont want to lose contacts, messages, call history, notes and such only important things, how do i go about backing them up?
Basically i want to try another rom but after i flash the new rom i wish to have my info from the previous rom back on the new one. What is the proper way to do this?
Lastly, can some recommend ANY STABLE ASOP, AOKP, CM? Just any ROM without sense which is the most stable and with the most features working (i.e camera, BT, and such)
Thank you so much!
There is an app called "super backup" on play store...u can give it a try..

Use titanium backup or helium for the apps data. Contacts sync it with your google account.

Hi all
I installed a rom, I personalized it, put I want to try another rom and I don't want to personalized it all over again...
So I was wondering if it is possible to make a rom from
my MyTouch 1.2 (w/3.5 mm jack)
Please help me...
on recovery make a nandroid backup
Sure, and this also could pass on all your info and settings to the new ROM you're gonna try so you don't spend your time again that way.
Thanks, I'll try it...

Just a tip, every time you personalize or customize on a new build such as a new nightly or whatever rom your customizing, you will have to do everything all over again. Save your work on your computer so it's easily accessible.
BTW, I need a good, stable and 100% working Froyo ROM, any ideas ?

Try CM 6. I think most users use CM because it also has the most support.
Hi,
I am currently trying on new ROMs (ICS for Nexus S i9020t).
I was wondering if I can back up my apps before trying new ROMs and restore them on the newly installed ROMs.
Can this be done? I just want to backup the apps, like gmail,clock settings, gentle alarm (w/settings) etc.
Use titanium

Yes you can.
Use Titanium Backup to do this.
You can find it here.
Yo, ... I see a lot of trash ROM's for this phone. They all seem to have bugs. Is there a ROM out there that takes out the bloat and will allow me minor customization?
Or, can you point me in the right direction to a ROM that allows me to USE all the FEATURES my phone has.
(What good is ROM if you can't use SMS message?)
Thanks!

Sure, if you don't want custom rom, your best bet is Stock FP1 bloated with just root. Then download ICS theme/locker (or what ever theme you like, even eclipse theme) and use Go launcher EX from the market. This will give you trouble free and stable phone.
THANKS!

I stopped reading after this. If you think they're trash, why don't you try making a ROM yourself?

Hi, i bought this phone on second hand and it came with the cianogen mod 9, and its full of bugs , and i need to send and receive mms, one thing i cant do with this rom...
How can i put the phone like it came out of the box? With the oficial htc rom, or a new one that doesnt have bugs and is able to send mms...
I appreciate the help! a link to a tutorial or something like that would be great!
I think your best bet would be installing endymion. A fast and stable custom ROM. If your comfortable with returning your phone to stock then that's fine but since the phone is already rooted it would be easier and probably safer to install a custom ROM
Endymion:

sounds like a good idea, that rom is the most stable out there with sense 3.5?
Can you please give me a link for flashing roms on this phone, i did it a long time ago on a galaxy 550 i had but i dont remember most of it... One more thing, will the phone run the 2 roms multibooting like a pc or will the flashing of this rom erase the cyanogen one?
Thanks!
No, the phone will not run 2 ROM's.
If you require a backup of your current ROM, go into recovery & make a nandroid backup of your current ROM.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
You need to erase system , boot, data, cache, dalvik cache partitions before installing a new ROM (Endymion in your case).
Refer the INDEX thread for all your querries regarding Root, Installing new ROM , or Return to stock Guides !
While I haven't been on Sense in a while, I am confident Endymion is the most stable. It's the only Gingerbread ROM managing to stay on top of the development section. The developer has put in a lot of work into this ROM.
For the rest Tapur007 is pretty much correct. All your answers can be found here:

Luckily for you the hard part has already been done. All you need to do is boot into recovery, make a backup, wipe and install the ROM.
And to backup things like the apps what do you recommend? Something like titanium backup?

Titanium Backup is your bet for backup of applications and their data. Although you need to be careful restoring across different ROMs.
You could try the latest ICS ROM called Fallout (what I consider to be the Endymion replacement as its made by the same guy) this is reaching a level of performance and stability.

but with that rom i wouldnt be able to send mms right?
I've alredy flashed the endymion rom, it was easier than i tough, using the rom manager, it praticaly does everything for us, including wiping data and installing (sorry for the entusiasm but i tough it would be harder so i was pretty happy )
Like I said, the hard part has already been done so flash to your heart's content

yep, thanks for the help everyone any recomendations on roms to use?
If you're already on endymion, give ICS a try. So fallout or virtuous saga. Or if you don't like sense try out reaper for a stable and fast gingerbread experience or AOKP for an ICS approach.
There will never be one answer to the best ROM. It's up to you to find out which one fits your standards

Sense 2.1 ROMs: none (time to move on from the 80s...)
Sense 3.0 ROMs: none (time to move on the 90s...)
Sense 3.5 ROMs: Endymion 3.5 (great support! great dev!)
Sense 3.6 ROMs: none (why use an inferior ICS version when clearly Sense 4.0 is just around the horizon...)
Sense 4.0 ROMs: lots to choose from (most still have minor bugs that needs ironing out, but Sense 4 will give you the HTC One experience...)
Again it goes to show that HTC only cares on tempting you to buy a new phone (with new software) rather than providing proper support for old phones... Great thanks for the devs who keep old phones alive that htc has left to die...
non-sense Gingerbread: Oxygen port (some issue with camera on some newer phones) or CM7 (latest CM7 RC3?)
non-sense ICS: CM9 latest alpha (a clear upgrade, only minor glitches now), AOKP port etc.
These ROMs are the way Android should have been released (like the Nexus S / GalaxyNexus) without HTC butchering it up with Sense.

Get the latest alpha (31/5?) This should solve most of your mms problems.
Hi,
I'm, obviously, an owner of an HTC Desire S running stock software (Android 2.3.5, HTC Sense 3.0) and waiting for an upgrade :/
I'd really like to try a custom ROM but loosing stability or functionality would most likely cause me a lot of daily problems.
Is there a custom ROM out there that has no troubles with everything working on a stable basis? Or should I just wait, wait, and wait for that update?
if your not sure you want to root, simple answer is don't.
stability is a relative term. if we have 1000 people, we also got 1000 different opinions what "stable" is. so i'm affraid you'll have to decide for yourself.
You can try Fallout, with sense 4.0, but then you loose the 3d-flip-clock and other nice graphics, that still are within sense 3.6.
But 3.6 is very cpu-intensive, so you miss some snappyness and battery time.
So the choice will be snappy and more power with fallout or virtous, or nice with ice-ds or icsaga.

I suggest trying Fallout (Sense 4A, just wifi tethering not working) or Endymion (Sense 3.5, rock solid, in my opinion more stable than stock). But before, plz read the threads about rooting flashing etc to avoid bad surprises.

i know the feeling but my advice is if your not familiar with rooting, unrooting and odin i would just wait cause it would suck if you brick your device. Also if it you can find a used version of your phone for cheap with a clean esn then you could test or even mess around with thing until you become familiar and test any rom you wish before flashing it on your original device that you use on a daily basis...hope this helps

Try Ice Cold Sandwich. Pretty stable, only bug is the wrong inversion of the front cam. Also, a clean vanilla android is more attractive than sense

if you want something stable, go for the GB Roms, nothing with ics is truly stable until we get the kernel, the best GB Rom I've used is reaper, if you really want too to do it then that's probably your best starter Rom. Not a sense based one though. If you want sense have a read of the Rom threads. I got rid of sense and havnt looked back.
i'm going through the exact same thing. I'm totally impressed with all the rooting, modding and custom rom stuff but something makes me uncomfortable trying it. I will see how the thread is developing

when you succsesfully root your phone and want to try different roms it's crucial that you become familliar with nandroid backup. you do nandroid backup in your recovery just before you flash the new rom. it saves the current (fully configured) system to your sdcard and you can always come back if you do not want to use the newly flashed rom anymore. you do nandroid backup of all tested roms that you liked and save yourself time and pain of flashing and configuring them again and again every time.

+1 for backup. Titanium backup is also a must for me, the free one is good but it's well worth paying for the full app.
I like to play with alternative roms, so i have taken the step to root. But to be true. The only real improvement for me is to get rid of adds and to get rid off sense. The stock rom was good enough though.
I have read a lot before i taken the step. I have made a list wat was important. Here it is

Thank you so much guys for your replies.
Now, I'm sure that I want to use a custom ROM, not sure witch one yet, but my choice will be either Fallout or ICE with no Sense.
Gonna read as much as I can and let you know guys.
Please keep on replying as it's really helpful for me, and maybe others like me..
P.S. I'm not quite sure what are the steps to properly backup then install a custom ROM, a little help with that too would be much appreciated, but I'm quite sure a guide exist here somewhere ^^
