IS there an automated way to do it or should I just go to the manage apps and move all the programs to SD? Are there some programs that aren't good to have on the card? Would titanium be a better alternative? Just looking for a heads up to make the switching of roms as painless as possible.
I find Android Mate to be very easy...it literally copies the apk to your SD card and then will allow you to reinstall it easy.
Titanium Backup.
Also next time please use the correct forum.

Lol. Look at the thread I made. I mentioned you in it.
Forgive me, since I was asking for a method that was able to help with the roms and switching back and forth, not just a specific program. Just wanted some help to see what everyone else that was rooting was doing.
i for one think this would be a great idea.
you know, when you flash a rom, sometimes you just have to wipe it no matter what. i use titanium backup for my apps, and i have no problem logging into my email again, but what really annoys me is having to re-organise sense. it would be great if somebody made a script that backed up the sense layout. if an app is no longer installed on the phone, it probably just wouldn't show up, as in when you uninstall from recovery and reboot. i would love it if anybody could do this. i personally can't donate, because i dont have a credit card, but i am sure people will.
the first step would be to find out where this information is stored. anybody know?
thanks for trying

you can restore it using adb
i didnt know that. how do you do this? adb is a VERY general thing, as i am sure you know
Please keep the questions in the Q&A Forum to keep the Dev Forums clean.
This looks like it might be able to help:

I thought titanium backup pro/donate version does this. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
that would be great if it did. anybody confirm? i dont see it written down anywhere but it is always possible.
I use Titanium Backup to restore my sense UI's icon layouts on my rooted phone.
And I use MyBackUp Pro to restore the layout on an un-rooted phone.
Pretty sure Titanium Backup stores it in a green colored setting named "[DESKTOP] HTC Sense 1.00"
After you restore that setting (Using either app) you MUST restart the phone for it to take effect.
The only problem i've had was with widgets, they always say missing. But they are really easy to replace, so no complaints.
restore back up layout
I use launcher pro as a replacement for my home apk, it offers a backup/restore function. it will restore everything as it was (except widgets). works great i have tried its on 2 or 3 different roms.
Titanium already does this back up "[DESKTOP] HTC Sense 1.00" then restore it after flash. I always reboot right after the restore. Now if your talking about CM or AOSP I have no idea.
Got it figured out please delete.
After installing several Custom roms. I can not get many of my paid apps to work.
its been days and they will not validate that I have paid for them. I think that something may have been over written when I did the flashing. Can I pull back anything from the nandroid backups I made?
Thanks for your help.
sorry wrong place can a mod please remove it.... Thanks
Hi, quick question for somebody that knows their way around this phone better than me... I am on the stock Jelly Bean ROM that came with it when I got the phone in early December... All I've done is root and add some tweaks myself so I can use things like Titanium, MyBackup Root, etc... in any case, I was trying to delete an app earlier this morning in Titanium, and accidentally hit the app above it on the list, and deleted before I uninstalled... the app was com.samsung.sdm... can't figure out via google search exactly what this does... I do know that some have frozen or deleted this file with no ill effect to performance... my question is whether this app has anything to do with OTA updates? Part of the reason I'm temporarily on stock (as opposed to custom ROMs I've used on every other Android phone) is to get OTA updates, and I don't want to have them blocked after accidentally deleting this app...
I found a copy of the sdm file in an older Titanium backup folder on my hard drive, so I know I can restore it, but before I bother, was just curious if any of you gurus could enlighten me on exactly what this file is and does?
Thanks in advance,
-A
