[Q] Updating ROM, OS, Launcher, Kernel - settings retained?

I have multiple upgrade/update questions and have searched exhaustively on this and other forums. Maybe there's no issue because in forum responses, the mechanics are never discussed. I see "just do a software upgrade", then "thanks, worked great", but not how to retain user configuration through an upgrade.
I have a Viewsonic G-Tablet (UPS300-2-2) and I have loaded CWM 0.8 and successfully flashed VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1. This ROM has the beta VTL.launcher.
I've also spent several days loading music, video, wall paper, links, home-pages etc, and once I had it the way I liked it, backed up using CWM.
It all works fairly well, except I have problems with SDcard2 losing data, corrupting my partition, causing boot-loops, etc. So I avoid using the external SD slot. Should upgrades become available, I will want to try to fix this problem.
So my questions are (given all the time invested);
1) will CWM restore data as well as settings (will it restore downloaded apps, video & music stored on SDcard or SDcard2, or are these left untouched when ROM is flashed)? - answer; neither CWM nor Titanium will restore data such as downloads, books, videos, music or pictures. These will have to be copied over again. I found CWM to be a very effective backup and restore tool; all applications, settings, passwords, and vtl.launcher layouts. The advantage with Titanium is that you a) don't have to boot into APX mode, b) you can select all applications or individually to backup or restore, c) you can choose to backup just settings/data.
2) will VTL.launcher 1.6.2 retain beta launcher settings, my home page layouts (I'm required to uninstall beta VTL.launcher before installing 1.6.2)? - answer; both launchers can coexist, just flip between them by pressing home key. New launcher adds catalogs. New launcher does not use beta version settings, so home pages need to be reconfigured. To move settings from beta 1.5 to 1.6.2, I saved Launcher layout and settings (Menu-More-VTL Settings), then restored. The widgets didn't work right, but the layouts were fine, so I just reinstalled all the widgets under 1.6.2 and all is working fine. Note in this post that gojimi does not require beta uninstall before installing 1.6.2, and in fact beta cannot be uninstalled if included with ROM
3) Now that I see Android 3.0, can I update to that, or does this require a new ROM? I'm using v2.3 Android with VEGAn-TAB - answer; a new ROM will required to integrate the OS with the hardware. A ROM upgrade also appears to erase all data on SDcard, so externally stored backups are necessary. If re-flashing to root, CWM may also need to be reinstalled (see references in this thread).
4) What is a kernel (vs. a ROM)? why would I want to upgrade this? - answer; my ROM uses PERSHOOT's kernel, which has been updated since the ROM was released. Advantages are slight, but it may fix the standby problem (requiring reboot after x-min in standby), and other hardware specific enhancements.
5) If I upgrade a ROM (VEGAn-TAB RC1 to RCx for example), will I keep my old settings? - answer; no, updating a ROM (device specific Kernel + Android OS) will wipe everything on your internal SDcard. Use Titanium to selectively restore applications after re-imaging with new or updated ROM.
Thanks in advance.

I cant answer all your questions but I can answer some so to start a kernel is more changing the performance of your device and the rom is more for looks and feel. Now when you flash a kernel it wont change any settings or anything but a rom will change settings some wont but if you back up on clockwork I've noticed it saves everything even apps. and for the honeycomb deal well I haven't tried it yet but I'm sure they have a rom and kernel the same or similar you can flash.

[Q] Partially Restore CWM backup?

Hey Guys!
So I've been around the place for a while, usually passive. I rooted my phone a few months back, and left it at that coz i was too scared of bricking my new phone . But now getting tired of waiting for the official ICS (Not the buggy leak) has got me thinking of getting a custom Rom (cant decide between Victory or Romulus).
I've just installed CMW, and my phones backing up as we speak. My question is this, is it possible to restore a partial backup? Im hoping that once i get the custom rom up and running, i can restore my contacts, texts and apps onto my new rom. I know titanium backup can restore apps but i assume all that is gone once i format before installing the rom, right?
Thanks guys any help appreciated!

When you install any new ROM, you (usually) need to perform a full wipe through CWM including: wipe user data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik, then flash. Now, that will delete ALL of your stuff, contacts, texts, apps, etc. However, if you have access to WiFi, when your ROM flash has completed, you will be prompted to re-enter your Google account and, at which time, your contacts will re-populate (give it some time). Though, be sure you sync with Google's servers prior to your flash, so that any new contacts will be re-added once your account has been added after the flash. Also, if on WiFi, when your account has been entered, go to Google Play Store, and click the "my apps" button, and again after some time (depending on the number of apps you had) they too will re-populate. As far as texts, you could try a text backup app -not too familiar with this, as I don't ever have a need to save any texts- and you should be good. Word of warning: DO NOT use Titanium Backup to restore ANY application data, only the apps themselves. Also, another good alternative to TIB is App Backup & Restore. Hopefully, this clears up any doubts you have with your "stuff" and how to retrieve it after a flash...

Apex used capital letters in "do not restore app data" with good reason. Only a handful of times have I not followed those directions and every time I got weird fc's and an overall more unstable system. It's a shame there isn't a good way to do it but it only leads to heartache. Always keep a solid backup. I keep two. One original and another after a couple days on a new rom so that I'm able to experiment down the line.
I hope you have a good experience with your new system and learn a bit. It gets a little addicting.

So, once i clear everything and flash, to get back my apps all i have to do is reinstall "App Backup and Restore" then I can restore any saved apps? Because looking at the play store, the list in my apps (Not Installed) is too long, and contains apps that i simply installed to try and immediately removed.
One more thing as well, well actually 2. I was watching a video by mastermind278 on youtube on how to install custom Roms. He installs a rom by selecting restore from cmw recovery, so my question is, does that restore method work for installing most Roms, say for example, the Romulus rom? And finally, are the separate mods installed in the same way?

You can 'manually' select which apps you'd like to restore from within this app, so if there are some you'd rather forgo restoring, you can pick and choose.
As far as the flashing method through CWM, you'll just have to read and understand each of the ROM's flashing methods, as some of the GB ROM installs are different (flash or CWM restore). All of which are detailed in the threads for these ROM's. Along with that, any mods you'd like, you'll just need to refer to the install instructions for each...

Rooted/Custom Rom'd my AT&T S4, now for some basic a

[Thread in wrong area! Mods please move to AT&T S4 under Q/A!]
I recently rooted/installed CleanROM for my S4, but now I have some basic questions regarding what actually happened in the process and how I could improve it. (First smartphone, first Android).
1. Is flashing the exact equivalent of installing a kernel/ROM/app in a recovery like TeamWin that is zipped in an SD card? All I did was select my zipped file and install--the guide says to use GooManager but I never used it. Also, does updating TWRP, kernel, or ROM (same application/kernel/ROM, but newer version) require that you delete the old ZIP, copy over the new ZIP, then install it? Is there a cleaner method (I feel that since we have to wipe to prevent old files from interfering with new ROM that maybe parts of the old version of a ROM may be redundant or may interfere with the new ROM?
2. Is there a way I can save the phone settings when dealing with one ROM and transferring these settings to another ROM? I really don't want to spend 20 minutes to go through all the settings and change it to my liking every time I install a new ROM.
3. With TWRP I could backup the entire ROM and also be able to install that backup ROM if I don't like the new ROM installed? What does Titanium Backup offer in regards to this aside from backing up app data and the ability freeze/uninstall system apps?
4. Does Titanium Backup leave any residual files? I see other apps designed to uninstall system apps and Titanium Backup seems like an all-in-one jack of all trades.
5. I thought I wiped everything and to me, that sounds like reformatting the entire drive. I only wiped system, boot, and data though (good enough for ROMs, according to what I've read). I was surprised when I saw my videos that I had already backed up to my PC accessible on the phone. Should I just wipe literally everything (I assume it would be cleaner) like cache, preload, EFS, modem, recovery, etc.? Will wiping literally everything be like reformatting my phone (since my phone was not reformatted because my personal videos was still there when I installed my custom ROM? If I were to install completely different ROMs cleanly and wanted to keep my personal files, I would only need to wipe system, data, and boot?
4. Do I have to use CASUAL again to install an updated TWRP?
5. Does backing up a ROM also backup its root? I'm going to assume this is a dumb question and the answer is no. I'm also guessing I have to block OTA updates from AT&T to ensure I keep my root. How would I go about doing this? Also, would my phone be "safe" if I stick to my ROM (no updates or anything) for 4+ years? I'm asking this as an extreme case because I feel like I'm missing out on AT&T security updates that could protect my phone and also I don't think the developer my ROM (CleanROM) will do frequent updates).
6. I had problems with my computer not being able to recognize my phone and my SD card in the phone after I wiped everything and before I installed a ROM. I literally had to take the SD card from the phone and use an SD card reader to transfer my custom ROM/loki then put it back into the phone. Was I missing a driver?
7. What are some must-have apps a newly rooted user would want?
8. I read that you only need 1 EFS backup and you don't need to back it up every time you are going to install a custom ROM. Can I get a confirmation?
9. What does Goo Manager do and would I want it?
10. Is it essential that I keep up to date with news about my custom ROM/phone to ensure my phone is secured?
**Not Root/ROM related--Is swiping an app away from the Recent Apps List (long-press home button) the equivalent of killing an app? I use the Recent Apps List often but I don't want to go about swiping apps away if means it is killing it, since I read that killing apps are bad and actually drains battery life. Also, is there a mod that lets you access the Recent Apps List by long-pressing the menu one? I only see a mod that kills the app if you long-press it.
Thanks. I'm hoping for many responses as I have more questions to ask but not a lot of free time (I will check back on this thread every several hours until there are no more responses on the thread.

Help with the factory reset procedure

Hi, first of all I apologize about my english, because it's not my native language.
I need your help to clarify some doubts I have about the factory Reset procedure.
I own a Galaxy Note 10.1 N8010 16 Gb version. It came originally with ICS 4.0.4 and was updated via OTA to 4.1.2 (I believe it was first 4.1.1 and then 4.1.2, I don't remember). It's not rooted (never was), the state of the tablet is completly official.
I don't mind to reinstall the apps, I have a few of them and they are mostly games, browsers and free ebook readers. Several of them were installed before the update to JB.
The problem is that i feel it behaves kind of sluggish for example in screen transitions, when the virtual keyboard pops up, when using S-Note and others moments. So I want to try a factory reset to see if gets better, but I have these doubts:
1) Do you think it will help when the tablet is behaving kind of slow? (assuming that the tablet doesn't have a hardware problem)
2) Is it a risky procedure? (performed with the battery fully loaded)
3) When the reset is completed, it will come back to ICS or JB will remain?.
4) Will I lose the 48 Gb of free space in Dropbox (I already created an account and I am actually using it).
5) Do I need to extract the external SD card before start the reset process?
6) And finally, how do I initiate the process (key combinations) and which options do I have to select (if there are any).
Any help is apreciated.
Thanks in advance

I think because JB 4.1.2 does not have trim support that after months of use data get fragmented so a believe that a factory reset would help.
I think the rish factor is slim to none especially with a fully charged battery.
The tablet will be restored to your current firmware version that is installed on your device.
Your cloud account will not be lost but you will have to sign in when prompted after the factory reset.
Your ext sd card is safe but removing it couldn't hurt.
After the factory reset there will be about 4 screens that you have to go through. I would uncheck the auto restore function when prompted as there could be alot of apps in your google account that you no longer use and it will automatically install all the apps in your google play account if you select auto restore. I Just manually select the apps I want after the reset.
As a reminder if you had flash installed or want flash support it is not in the play store but you can get the most current version of the apk here http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/android/11.1.115.81/install_flash_player_ics.apk

P3110 - Multiple ROMS, Same issue... (Slowness)

Hey,
I am on my last ditch attempt of a fix here, I have installed multiple roms to my P3110 and whenever I play on specific games the device slows them down, the sound and the game play around 50% slower than normal.
I have tried CM12, Candy5, SlimLP, Slimkat and the only fix I have is to go to Stock 4.4.2 Jellybean and lose move to SD Card functionality.
Any assistance would be appreciated as I was using this tablet for my sons xmas present and would love more app space.
Thanks.
*EDIT* It seems any other jellybean rom works, it just has trouble with KitKat and Lollipop...

Hello, and Merry Christmas.
I am going to have this thread moved to the Galaxy Tab 2 help forum, where there will be experts with your device that can help you resolve your issue.
Best of luck!

The thing is you need not need a custom rom. Stock roms is better, As there is this app called XPOSED which have a lots of facilities like moving obb files to sd card by just copying it to sd card, changing the navigation bar to the lolipop nav bar etc...it is a useful app. Here is the link install this app and install the framework and reboot once. Then search for obb 2 sd In modules., install that and reboot. Now once u have dwnloaded a game with obb open it once and then close it. Now you can move thae obb file to sd card in folder android» obb.
Here is the link for xposed.http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer.

I've tried Xposed but it isn't working correctly, and I was having an issue with the device being slow beforehand so I thought I'd use a lighter rom and everything ran perfect bar gaming apps...

Greetings;
Stock ROM's are the Safer (Less Bugs) but have tons of garbage (Bloatware). Wich Consumes quite some Battery and Memmory.
Custom ROM's on the other Hand can have tons of Bugs, Perform Faster, Consume More Battery if they are Cyanogen Mods, and sometimes Brick your Device.
In any case fear not. As it is most likely to be solved quite easily.
I'm not Expert on This Specific Device (actually just got this tablet), but the solutions are very similar for each Samsung Android Device, ROM Version or Other Brand.
1) Download your p3110 ROM (Stock ROM) (You can get it from Sammobile Website)
2) Perform a Clean Flash (You can check my Thread for i9003-SL in order to know how to perform a Clean Flash)
Thread for i9003-SL Flashing Tutorial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-sl/general/rgxhost-ddlf2-complete-tutorial-t2837212)
[IMPORTANT REMINDER]
- The Thread Link i Mention Above is Just for Reference on how to Perform a Clean Install;
- The Files in that Thread ARE NOT for your Galaxy Tab S2;
... The Thread serves for Reference so you can Learn on how to do things Properly.
3) When your Device Starts on it's 1st System Load, interrupt it and boot it under "Recovery Mode"
4) Under Recovery Mode; Clean Dalvik, Cache, and then Perform a Factory Reset. (Don't worry if you don't have the Wipe Cache or Dalvik Options; you can skip these and direclty go for the "Factory Reset" option)
Note: Personally i prefer to clean both 1st, and only then perform the "Factory Reset". But that means you have to Flash ClockWork Mod Recovery in first place.
You system should now be like it came from Factory.
Also: I'm not entirely aware or "Triangle issue".
I mean, this device comes with Flash Counter. Therefore if the Triangle comes up, i really can't help you. At least not yet. As i've never had such problem.
If you happen to get this issue: Search for p3110 thread: "Triangle Away"
Let me know how it went for you.

If u get that triangle problem just connect your device to pc and start flashing using odin like you did before.
I have the same device I had the same issue.
But remember this thing, if u get stuck in boot loop after flashing firmware using odin just try going to the recovery and then perform a factory reset. Then you are all set to go..

Thumbs Up m8!
The thread i mentioned about the "Triangle Away" (i just made a quick reading so far) felt like it was more difficult to solve than that.
Thanks for the Info. I was kinda worried on what to do when i get that "Triangle".
So, a Clean Flash and / or Factory Reset would Solve the Problem? Just That?
