Hi all,
Just curious if anyone knows how to backup your launcher / icons setup from titanium backup. Either I am blind or something as I cant find it in the list of items on my n5 w/ kitkat

I was trying to figure this out too.. when I just backup the launcher app and restore it back it doesn't work.. so I ended up backing up all system app and data then restore all data and it worked.. It looks like they mixed things up the settings some how...
edit: figured it out.. I restored google search data and launcher data and bingo restored all my icons and folders...

It looks like google search handles the launchers db file.. been doing some digging..
apps/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/db/launcher.db-journal
apps/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/db/launcher.db
so all you do is backup google search app and your launcher's icons and folders will be restored...

if you backed up your launcher, it should restore like before except for widgets. i have switch rom before and after restoring my adw ex data its like how i had it before.
make sure you restore app + data
don use any launcher (dont like adw) , there is any way to do that without launcher?

You have to use a launcher, in your case the stock launcher but a launcher none the less.
If you backup the data it should restore like how you had it

Can I delete "S Planner" app?

Hi
just wondering is this deletable on the Note, safely?
I havent seen it on the deletable app list that I found
Thanks
Try to freeze it first.
Sneeze it??
i used titanium and delete it all... just freeze it
Everytime, it's better to freeze an app because, if something goes wrong, you can defreeze the app and look what happens
how do I freeze an app?

You can use titanium backup for that.
I am afraid that you need root access to remove system app.
The other option is to freeze it via Titanium Backup
Also with Titanium Backup you need root

Backing up Icons layout and homescreen with GEL

Does any one know how to do this? I really like the animations and functionality of GEL but it is a pain to re-setup my home screens and icon lay out every time i want to try a new rom. I used to use nova and backed up my launcher but I do not know how to do this with GEL.
Any tips?

I've been searching for this same solution.. Titanium doesn't seem to restore the layout, so the data must be kept elsewhere.
Back up Google Search

I just updated my Nexus 4 rooted Purity ROM 2013-11-29 to 2013-12-02 build by doing a full wipe. I used Titanium Backup to backup "Google Search". After Google Market had installed most of my apps and I used Titanium Backup to restore the settings and install non-Market apps, I did a Data Only restore of "Google Search" and all the icons were back on my home screen. I rebooted for good luck and everything is restored and working well. :good:

[Q] ~ Name that icon pack!

Alright so I decided to switch ROMs and can't find the icon pack I used to have... Don't even see it any where in my apps list within the Google Play Store.
If anyone knows the name of this icon pack or has a link I'd be truly grateful! Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
Please see attached screen shot...

did u ever install those icons from playstore before or did they come pre loaded in your previous rome rom,
If they came in the rom itself then it might be the theme the rom comes with(that the rom dev made)

I installed them from the play store... The ROM that screen shot is from is stock CM11S rooted. Though it doesn't appear in my app list on the play store any more...

the name must be in the theme system option in CM 11 maybe?
somewhere in settings
So, I realized I made a nandroid backup and restored it just to get the icon pack... It's called "Sketchy". Made a Titanium Backup and restored it into my current ROM... WIN!
Though I still didn't see it in the Play Store and can't find it out there, or in the CM11 themes showcase. Not sure where I can ever download it again shall the need arise, but for now at least I have a Titanium Backup to restore.

Backup.

Hi.
Since I've upgraded to latest rom on my device, huawei backup is gone (?!?).
So what do you guys use to backup your devices? Specially launcher layout, which is a pain in the... after each reset.
No. I'm not rooted nor want to be
Thank you

You could try Helium (no personal experience). If not, it's going to be difficult because...

As far as I know only Huawei apps provide backup for EMUI launcher settings and home screen layout. Can any other third-party app do the same?
Even with Hw backup i can restores layout if I am just re-instaling the same rom version, because every time I upgrade rom restore does not make any effect
