Is it possible to get the file or files that store the bookmark data to be saved and then restored. I know there are apps for this but I like to keep my phone light and don't have to worry about setting permissions...
This is so far the only thing I dread doing every time I do a new install, go to every single website and set the bookmarks.
Thanks in advance.

If you use the stock browser or chrome then you can save them to your gmail

Well boss, that would work if I had gmail, I don't even know how to use the market or have a youtube account, by choice, let it be said...

Go to settings, application management, sort by size, and delete the app data,
I got 70mb free space, before it was 7mb only
Note, don't clear the data of contacts app, it's all your contacts details, unless you have sync with your gmail account.
Right now you deleted everything that you have saved and downloaded, like market graphics and other data, random apps downloads and etc. It will be back there..

Yes and no.
For market it's no, since it's all graphics and other temporary data.
For mail it's yes, since you have just removed all the emails stored on your device. You'll get them back once you sync.
These are just two examples only.
For those of you who are experimenting with AOSP ROMs on your HTC phone and want to synchronize contacts and calendar items with your desktop, have a look at this application. You can install the Android version via the market, the desktop install is freely available from the developer's website below.

Also have a look at MyPhoneExplorer. It is also free from the market and very similiar software. You can view your phone's screen on your monitor and operate your phone with your mouse and keyboard. It is a proven software.

Interesting. I like the less cluttered look of this desktop version, but what worries me is the non-english support forum. I wonder if using both of these tools, in addition to the HTC sync software, might create some sort of incompatibility.
ETA: I also wonder how these utilities will respond when switching between ROMs or versions. I don't know how they track synchronization sessions. It'd be a disaster if contact items were duplicated or triplicated when updating or experimenting.
I dont know if this goes here but i have been searching around for a answer.. on my inspire I had to reinstall my rom and when i did for some reason i cannot find my phone contacts.. how in world would i get them back I did have titanium but even it says theres nothing there.. i also just two days ago did a fresh backup on titanium.. strange huh.. so far everything has been replaced but my dialer contacts..
any help will be deeply appreciated
thanks

Did you have them synced with Google? If you did then just resign into your google account and they will be restore. As for TIBU it doesnt back up contacts by default as they are stored in System Data and restoring any system data, like contacts, sms, emails, wifi settings and things like that can cause huge issues when changing roms.
I had them synced but for some reason i cannot no matter what find them.. and they did not resync on the cell when i set it up again

Check the sync and account settings to make sure it is selected.

once your sync options are double checked as Zel mentioned, sign in to gmail from the gmail app and get your email, this puts it into a forced sync. Should have all your stuff back.
Thanks for sharing, BillTheCat. I was not familiar with this app. I'l check it out. I've been using Google to sync my stuff.
I use airdroid it syncs contacts pics calender date and file and you can even answer texts on your desktop when your using it

I'm in the process of upgrading to the ICS Superlite 4.2 - having some issues with restoring apps+data with TiBu.
What's the best way to go about it so that I can avoid FCs and compatibility issues, while also restoring my messages/settings etc.?
If you're coming from 2.3 then don't restore data. Not everything is compatible and some stuff makes things crash.

So it's best to just start fresh? Is there any way to 'reset' titanium pro so that when i upgrade again down the road it takes what i have installed now versus all of the older apps from 2.3?
Also, what's the best way to at least get my contacts back?

Sync your contacts with google (Gmail) in the future.
Restore all missing apps with data is the best way to get apps back and eliminate fc issues never restore system data from os to os even if its like 2.3.6 to.7 sometimes it can eff things up

agreed. ive nevee had a problem restoring app dat, but never backup and restore system apps, with or without data. I would also stay away from backing up account, wifi, bluetooth and other options available in tb unlessnu are just doing a wipe and reinstall with the exact same rom

I do have my contacts synced to gmail, however it shows all of the autofill emails and not just the contacts I have in my contact list.

i recommend in the contacts app doing a menu > export to sd. This will save a vcf file on your sd card that you can use to import using the next method after you flash. I personally find syncing my contacts with my gmail messy, so I use this method.
With super lite 4.2 you need to update both TiBu and the paid version from the market for it to work. A couple of us had that problem last night and someone found that was the problem. Restore app+data works beautifully afterwards

I think any TB version past 4.8.2 plays nice with ICS... just sayin
I just started reading up on rooting about 3 days ago so a lot of this is new to me but i couldn't find anything about this. I'm currently running CM9 ICS on on my infuse 4.0.4 and before i ever did any of this i used titanium backup and backed up all apps + system data while i was on froyo 2.2.1 and transferred it to my pc. I noticed they have a whole new people app on ics and i'm going to assume the old back up data is formatted for froyo, but i think they have the same destination?
data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/database
Something like that, how would i go about transferring them if possible? Apparently google never backed them up either. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
One of the many possible issues when testing unfamiliar roms...lack of homework....
But when you log on to the phone..and setup your google accts it is not...syncing your contacts....?
Well its either they were never synced or it's just not working, i could just wait until the roms complete i guess but for the time being it would be a lot more convenient to have them if possible
Is data working for you...on the phone? Can you log on gmail on your pc and see your contacts there?
Nope just the contacts I've added recently added since switching to ics. i never had any other google accounts. any thing i can do with these?

Extracted using titanium backup on froyo
Just gonna quickly warn you. Never back and restore system data between roms. It could cause problems to arise. If you're gonna restore, restore missing apps with data. Don't restore system data or anything with system in it
Try a pizza taco sometime, if you don't know what it is, look it up then
Haha yeah i learned that.. i was screwing around with it with pretty much zero knowledge about this and ended screwing up 3 or 4 system processes and had to re flash it. Any suggestions? any way to make the files into vcard data? By the way i have no idea what that really is i just tried importing from sd and it said "Cannot find Vcard data."
Go back to froyo, restore your contacts with TB. Once you have contacts restored click the "menu" soft key. Click the import/export option. Choose export to sdcard or export to memory or something like that...that will create vcard data
Now flash cm9 and restore contacts from sdcard by importing from sdcard
I know, its a lot of work but its the only way I can think of to create the card data

I can confirm that's where contacts are located, just used es file explorer and opened up the files as text...however I can not confirm changing the files in that directory with your old ones will work...
However if you do try to replace those files make sure you reboot after replacing
Good luck hope you get your contacts back
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA
I was hoping i didnt have to go back to stock, will try just replacing the files let you know how it goes thanks
i honestly think you shouldnt reaplce ICS apks with FroYo apks..
youre gonna screw things up trust me
do the long way and go back to froyo export a Vcard then go back to ICS and import
youll be safer and itll save ya the headache
No luck, contacts were just blank with a small scroll bar as if there was a lot on the page. probably going to re flash tomorrow i have work in 5 hours haha thanks again
SUCCESS. I have all my contacts and numbers thanks to this:

that was exactly what I was saying...he must have had his contacts sync off or sync off in general...
Yes i always synced contacts from facebook, but this rom doesnt have that feature and market apps such as facebook sync only synced names and pictures. All backed up now though =]

Hello anyone, is there a way to install the same app twice on my phone and keeping 2 sets of app data?
In my case I need to to operate 2 different Facebook accounts and I'd like to use the official Facebook app for both. Logging in and out multiple times an hour is not an option, and I don't like the other Facebook clients from the play store as well...
Thanks in advance!

Simple answer - no, it's not possible.
Long answer, yes it could be done, but whatever you try would require some form of interaction - you would either have to create multiple user accounts on your phone (semi-possible under JB) or use Titanium Backup to freeze one copy and un-freeze the other (should be doable, but I've never tried it).
I would also point out the advice BigJoe gave you under your other thread;-
first I don't have or do FB....but if must keep your secrets separate from work, why don't you use the browser "go mobile" for one and the app for your other one. Or if your work requires you to have a FB, why not just keep you private stuff....private.
I remember reading it was a violation of Facebook's Terms of Use to have multiple accounts, but never the less I don't FB.

The only real solution is to accept that you will simply have to either use the mobile browser version for one account or, if you require notifications, use another app for one of the accounts.
Will try the freezing, and thanks.
