I tried searching, but got mixed directions and methods that ended up confusing me.
Running Baked Snack 9.7 and there are some apps that I would like to remove, mainly every trace of Sense.
Tried removing them through ES file explorer to no avail.
Try this method. I am using DC and there is an application called "DConfig" that allows me to ban sense (if I desire). If you don't want sense, I would suggest flashing a ROM that doesn't use it (like CM6). CM6 is a Froyo ROM too which is a huge plus. I would use it but I'm a bit attached to sense at the moment. Hope this helps.
Titanium Backup is the easiest way IMO. Just tap the app and click uninstall

Never knew this feature was built into titanium ..... this method is probably better as I will have a backup of what I remove assuming I remove something that I shouldn't lol. I wonder if there is a thread somewhere that gives a list of stuff that is safe to remove through titanium. Time to search

RootManager work too
So I recently installed CM6 RC1 on my evo, and i guess there isn't a market app on this ROM along with a lot of other apps I actually wanted from my old htc stock ROM. How can i get the market back? Also is there a way I can bring back other apps from the old htc stock?

like calendar, since the only way i can get onto the calendar preloaded with cm can only be used with an exchange server, weather, etc.
User launcher pro plus instead of adw launcher. It has sense like widgets.

would it be wise if i nandroid and flashed my recovery back to my old htc stock rom and backed up the apps i wanted from htc stock rom using titanium backup and flashed back to CM6?

That will take longer than to just re-download them.
Go back to the thread and read EVERYTHING in the original post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735596

Try titanium backup.

You can't backup your widgets. Every time you restore your backup they have to be restored manually to your homescreens. Android limitation.

+1. But only if changing from sense rom to sense rom or aosp to aosp, otherwise there could be very strange system problems.
So I can't help but realize that a lot of people here flash roms like crazy. Well, I am the kind of guy that likes to have my own cool setup with all my home screens, like apps, widgets, etc.
Is there a way to back up and restore so when I flash a new rom I can restore where all of my apps were on what screen and maybe even my widgets and what not.
Any help would be greats, thanks guys.
Yes. You can use titanium backup to backup your launcher, or you can use ROM manager to backup your current ROM.

But what if I switch to another rom? The only option I have is to download that launcher and restore on that launcher? Makes sense if you can't, but just wondering.
I've been wondering the same thing myself...I've been testing out different roms all week since I got this thing...I've stopped trying to set up email, backgrounds, themes, or widgets. If there was a way to restore the home page layouts, that would be great.
I user go launcher ex. I set up my home pages the way I like it. Then I export the settings and import settings on new ROM. As far as individual settings for apps, use titanium backup.

I use SPB as my launcher of choice along with ti and does exactly that folders and all. infanct its so good that as long as i have root on any device and the same apps installed say on a tablet then when i install SPB on it from the market it already knows my layout. if im missing an app or two then they just dont show up. but alteast i dont have to rebuild my entire "desktop" all over again.

After you make a backup in CWM and flash the new rom, you can always try to advanced restore in CWM just the data partition. I have done this before but it doesnt work across builds with wayyy different frameworks or basebands. Goodluck.
Just use titanium backup... it will restore the launcher and all of its data! Its great... it works even if you delete the launcher or flash a different rom

This really depends. If you're using the stock launcher that came with the rom, You really don't want to restore system apps on titanium, it'll cause issues. If you're like a lot of users and use a third party launcher, it's easy, because all the data gets easily backup up with it. If, for example, you're using a touchwiz based rom, it's not really easy. An alternative would be to download the modded touchwiz 4.5 (on the boards somewhere, I forget where exactly), and install that on your next rom. This way, when you do the setup for it, it'll be on /data and can be easily backed up with titanium backup, and restored. (Your widgets will show an error and you'll have to re-add them, but that happens on almost all launchers when a restore is done.)
As for doing an advanced restore with cwm, it's really hit and miss. What you're doing is restore the entire /data partition from one rom to another. If the roms have the exact same base, and very minimal differences, this might work. Some changes between roms this method works flawlessly, others it causes issues. You won't know until you try. Just do a backup in cwm, and a backup with titanium backup (do user app backup only, don't do system.) This way you have both ends covered.
I always use my backup pro. It restores app + data if rooted, and other data like system settings, contacts, bookmarks etc..
Its in the market check it out.

To answer your question a little more directly and differently than others, the answer to your question is no.
There is no way to restore your home screens exactly how you had them before you flashed a ROM. You can restore your apps and settings via the methods offered by others, but it will not put shortcuts and widgets exactly where you had them on your home screens.
For the home screen import, you have to already have a ROM installed and a home screen set up. That is only for installing a different launcher.

Actually if you're using mybackup root or pro. You can... Backup> data> android home.
Well this is if you flash a rom that uses the same launcher (i think.. Haven't tried it with different launchers). Most roms are tw anyways. But this is probably your best bet.

This is what I do every time I flash a new rom works every time. Do the titanium thing to just as a back up.
Keep a copy backed up on your computer, in case you wipe you emmc " did that once" lol

Do titanium backup and restore only data no system and don't enter any Google email if you have more than 1 phone to have a same setup, then do the ROM backup when all apps restored. That backup will be universal (without Google ID) and you can restore to any phone (your wife, friend..) Once restore they just enter their own ID and all set.
Titanium restore needs to answer yes no install...for each app. Take about 30 min to restore.
CWM process faster but for same ROM.
changing ROM needs titanium backup and restore without Google ID.
I been searching the forum and having a hard time looking for the type of help I need. I have a Desire Z running Cyanogen Mod I think version 9. I want to back everything up and restore it to an HTC One. What is the best/easiest method? I want to keep ALL apps/data. Will Rom Manager or Titanium Backup do the Trick?
I would advise against it, not only are you going from one phone to another but different android versions. If it were me I would just install apps from market and then set up everything fresh, but feel free to try titanium, some of it could restore ok
