If this rom is suppose to have entropy's kernel in it is it the newest one? I cannot send long text messages being capped at 160 characters. Is there a fix for this?

Im pretty sure kernel has no effect on character limits...that's usually modem-check your modem version under settings if you don't have uclb3 flash uclb3 modem on it...should fix your character limit

I have no limit.
"Search is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience." ~ Yeah, what's new
Well I was surprised but didn't want to risk flashing his kernel just in case. But I can't send long texts so I dunno

Oh lol well yeah feel stupid now I couldn't remember if it was modem or kernel. But every time I flash something different in this if keeps looping me back to cwm instead of rebooting.

When the new version of this rom gets released, is there an easy way to get all of my settings and apps back without having to reinstall everything through titanium backup? Each time I flash a new rom, it takes forever to go through and set my homescreen and apps.
As far as I know, every time you flash a new ROM, you have to do a complete wipe so it doesn't cause any redundancy issues and slow your phone down, or FC's, Random reboots, etc etc.. However, if you're just installing a newer version of this, you might be able to get away with just wiping Cache and Dalvik Cache and not doing the "Factory Reset/Reset All User Data" which means you get to keep all your apps and setting with out causing any problems, similar to as if you were just flashing a theme, kernel, or modem. So as the user "Experiment" always says, Experiment.. lol.. I know I do, I like to see what can I do and get away with or tweaks I can do with out having to flood the forums with questions I can answer myself by just wasting a little of my own time.. lol..

I always thought that was half the fun and half the battle with flashing ROMs/themes

It's not that big of a deal, just seeing if there is some other way out there.
When I installed this rom all my apps downloaded back up through Google I believe I didn't have to use titanium except to install a few like flip board. Weirdest thing never have seen it do it before at all!!

same thing happened to me! never seen it before.. kinda cool.. but it re downloads all the apps using up bandwith. I'm on the "unlimited" plan but it automatically re downloading those apps puts me closer to being throttled by ATT.. oh well.. I've been trying to use WIFI as much as possible.
I also flashed the B3 modem to get rid of the 160+ character limit
Me flashed that modem because I write novels when I text sometimes.. I am also on unlimited but use wifi most of time unless out and about

there is a free market app called My Backup that has a non-root version, it will backup your data and apps separately. it works pretty well, and will backup your app data. it can sometimes be flakey restoring all your apps, but it mainly works. i've found it flawless for data such as sms/mms, bookmarks, call log, etc
edit: just make sure to save your backup in a safe place, like a physical sdcard if you have one in your device, or your computer, since the unlock wipes your device. if i remember correctly, the app will store your backup in a folder called rerware/MyBackup..... something like that
If your not rooted it doesn't do app data. For not being rooted it does have a lot of nice options for sms, mms and such that a lot of apps mess up so its still a nice find.

you can try using "SMS Backup & Restore" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&hl=en) to back up your SMS. I've been using this and it's been doing the job so far.
ok thanks all
I know that this might sound like a stupid question, but how exactly do you guys manage to flash ROMS on a weekly basis? When I flash ROMS, I always have to re download everything and setup everything back to the way it was... I don't know but I've been constantly active in these forums and I always see you guys flashing the latest ROMS and other stuff... Am I missing out on something here? Is there a way where I can have things the way it was after flashing a new ROM? I'm trying to learn how to use Titanium Backup but I'm having troubles with it.
And just a side note, is it normal to check XDA every day? Like dude I always check the threads to see what cool stuff I can do with a rooted phone. It's like Facebook man, I'm on this more than that haha.

Well, I personally don't flash that often (mainly cuz I can't spend the time to set stuff up and check for bugs and such due to school and being busy), but when I did I pretty much swear by titanium backup. I bought the pro version and now I can't imagine going back to regular. That said, there are others that do pretty much the same thing, but my favorite is TiBu. What kind of issues you having with it?
Also yes. Its perfectly normal. I check multiple times a day. Same thing, wanting to keep up with everything, and I literally read every thread in the s3 section. Its definitely better than Facebook. Lol

hey
I am also interested in learning how to use Titanium backup. Haven't really dived into it yet tho. But I feel the same way. I usually try and do some research about whatever I'm flashing because I usually stick with it and try not to switch roms very much. Setting up the settings I like in the roms takes to long for me to be jumping from rom to rom.
To complement using Titanium Backup, I use Nova launcher (any launcher will do actually) and I restore my homescreens with the touch of a button.

How do you do that? Do you need the pro version for it?

Nope, you just back it up. Of course like I said, the pro version is awesome and is totally worth it. Also its cheaper through the website instead of the play store.

I flash roms pretty much on a daily basis, and its because of titanium backup. I use it even when I'm not restoring stuff because its also how I remove bloatware that I don't need and clean up system apps. If a person only bought 1 pro version android app I would recommend it be titanium backup.

See here's the thing that I'm confused on... I did a backup of all my apps, and I know where the folder is. Once I flash a new ROM, do I download TB and restore from there or do I flash it from recovery?

Well both are acceptable ways since TB permits you to do either. This depends on whether you made the backup via an update.zip or just did the manual process. I prefer the manual process, so I restore using TB.

With the help of Aroma, it makes it very easy to change ROMs for me.
I can pick only what is wanted, which saves me a lot of time removing what I consider bloat. and I use Astro to restore all my apps (personal preference)
I can install a ROM and be set up the way I want it in 5 minutes. If I know what I want, like for a TW ROM.
I haven't used AOSP in a while though, so an AOSP ROM would take some more time for me, but I personally enjoy the TW ROMs too much to change.
I've been using Nandroid Manager to manage my backups. Its by the same person that does the Online Nandroid app in the play store. I find it much more streamlined and user friendly than titanium. Restores backups faster too. It might not be as robust as titanium but it does everything I need it to. Makes flashing a snap. I nandroid my current setup, flash something new, if I like it I'll play around with it and restore my backed up apps to it. If not I just go back to my nandroid.

You can do it through Astro? How? And if you do your backups, does it store the data/cache you have?
And by the way, I love your work!

So if you store your backups there, it'll be like a screenshot of your current homescreen (similar to doing backups in recovery)?
another vote for titanium. combined with nova launcher im able to restore my phone back to the way i want it in under 25 minutes.

Yep. Just restore app+data (apex for me), launch it, and it's set up exactly as it was when you did your backup.

Didn't know what the "create update.zip" was for and I had been wondering, so thanks for that.

I too swear by titanium backup. I always backup/restore my apps but not system data as in my experience it can change between roms. I also click options when on main screen of titanium backup, then backup to xml and save my call log, texts, and wifi points so that I can restore them on the new rom.
Titanium backup will be your friend and always make sure you nandroid. I don't know how many times I have tried a rom and hated it within 20 minutes so I had to restore. I have been on one rom for 5 days now and I am getting the itch to try something new.

Something to point out about TiBu: you can make flash able zips of your filters. I keep filters for user apps and useful system data (like data usage, WiFi APs). If you do it this way, you might want to remove the tibu apk that gets stuffed in as well. I remove it, because I always flash the tibu apk itself immediately after a ROM and before gapps. That way, I can restore my android ID and various services don't think I have 10 different S3s.
Another note, no matter what anyone says, you will not be back to your setup in 15 mins. You can get MOST of it restored, but there will be little things you'll need to go through. That's if you're like me, and are really picky about every little setting. Give yourself at least and hour and numerous reboots.
How do I deal with this? I guess I'm a flashaholic. 15 will get your core apps, but for everything to be perfect, 30-60 mins is ideal. Definitely don't do anything close to bed time if you rely on your alarm.
I backed up my wife's Samsung Galaxy Nexus using My Backup, to save her phone and am messaging data and stored it off device. I had planned to root, ROM and restore. (I only got around to rooting, and, in the mean time, she made a lot of new calls, sent and received a lot of texts, and doesn't want me to overwrite her current phone and sms logs.
I bought her a new LG G2, and really want to get her transferred. But she won't move without up to date phone and sms logs.
Is there an easy way to merge the stored backup with her current data, without overwriting, so that current calls and texts just fall into their proper place in history?
Thanks!
