Few questions:
1: Are you rooted?
2: If so, are you on a custom ROM?
3: If you are, Which custom ROM?
4: What ROM you looking to flash?
You can try bonsai. It does a backup and restore during the flashing process so all your apps and themes and settings carry over. If you want to try something els you can backup apps and data through titanium or make a nandroid and advanced restore..bonsai is a great rom and there is no wipe involved. Just flash and enjoy...
You have a few options here - Backup app like Titanium backup, do a nandroid backup from recovery, flash a rom that automatically restores your apps and certain other data (such as Bonsai).
EDIT: Sorry nixo our posts are basically identical.
^^^^ thats ok lol the more feedback he gets the better.

Alright, assuming you already have Clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 (EXT4)?
If so, do these steps:
Put Nebula on your SDcard
Go into clockwork
Go to Backup & Restore
Press Backup
(Let it finish backing up)
Wipe Data x3
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik
Install Nebula
Let the phone boot completely up
Turn it back off and go back into Clockwork
Go to Backup & Restore
Go to Advance Restore
Choose your backup
Choose Restore Data Only
Let it finish and than reboot your phone. Everything will be back.

Yea i hated that too. But after a while of flashing it kind of got fun because i can never leave my homescreens the same too long. and it helps get rid of apps i dont use. Ive tried nebula and it is a great rom. One of the most stable out there but if u dont want to lose anything try bonsai. Its very stable and fast and you dont have to redo anything (thats why im sticking with it until others use this method).
Please post questions in the Q&A section. Thanks.
i had bonsai but den on another forum they told me quantum was good and its true i like it but i like experementing with all this stuff lol but thanks guys and i did pot in the Q&A and nobody replied in like an hour and not even 5 minutes and i got all this help

Your welcome. And thres really no "Best ROM" per-say, everyone has their own opinion.
Personally I love and use VIPERrom,
And as said above me, Syndicate doesn't have an EXT4 version.

Lol, you remind me of a police officer you see pulling somebody over for something like Making a left turn at a Red light. and than as soon as the driver gets his ticket and pulls away, the Police Officer makes a right turn on Red with a "Do Not Turn On Red" sign. Surely not as big of a law broken, but still one nonetheless....

Hey whats up guys?
so......Im not really new here guys, But i am new to APP2SD....i partitioned my card for the KINGDOM ROM which turned out to be really cool. Everything went GREAT with the partition, I followed VIRUS direction to the "T".......now i deleted all my old backups because i was told that some files may be corrupt and what not, so i made 2 backups of the B3 ROM from virus.....to try to make a long story short, when i restore one or the other of the backups i have, the APPS that required ROOT, tells me they cant find ROOT>....and believe me...im ROOTED LOL.....im not that lost.....i was even given a command for TE......"app2sd--cachesd"......and the PERMISSION WERE DEINED ACCROSS THE BOARD......now i can get to the titanium backup's =main screen and it shows i have APP2SD= 1.91mb........so im guess the app2sd isnt installing the apps onto my SDcard...im not sure if i have to move every app to my SDcard myself...not sure if that the issues....but to me something sounds wrong....ya know, ive deleted all the apps and re-installed them....i even installed them from amazon...NO GO....so if i RE-Flash, the apps will work...cause i setup my phone with TB.....but its after when i RESTORE my backup, that everything goes screwy...ohh and i am backing up SDtext.....and wiping it if i flash another ROM or restore a differnet backup.......Cant really find any info on anyne having this same problem....This is the first time im actually making my first thread so go easy on me LOL......thanks alots guys...I really appreciate it...
EDIT:.....ohh and all my apps sometimes show up in SU and they are allowed.....and SU is updated

I'm not sure I quite follow you, but, if you have the time, try this: after you've gotten your rom setup how you like it, reboot into recovery. Hopefully, you're using amon RA v2.3 as your recovery. If so, go to the wipe menu and wipe the cache & dalvik. After that, go to the backup/restore menu and, in addition to what is already selected to be backed up, select sdext and .android.secure. now create the backup and afterwards, reboot. Now to test it out, for back into recovery, wipe EVERYTHING in the wipe menu EXCEPT the SD card and then go to the backup/restore menu and restore the backup you just made. If using amon RA, the name of the backup *should* have a BSDEA beginning or something to that extent. Afterwards, reboot. Your system *should* restore back to the way it was without any problems.

It will be automatically activated if whichever Rom you are flashing had it cooked into it
If it's not cooked into the ROM, then it must be activated ( by flashing the script via recovery, i think....) Sorry, in kinda new to aa2sd too

You're very welcome. As for calkulin's format-all zip, I no longer use it because before flashing a rom, I wipe EVERYTHING in amon RA's (v2.3) wipe menu, EXCEPT the SD card, and I only have to do it once and I've never have a problem. Anyway, I'm glad you were able to get it taken care of. Take care and enjoy Mom's special day....

1. Yes that is a nandroid.
2. No you will not lose root flashing any rom.
You only lose root if you flash an OTA from sprint/htc, usually they are packaged in a PC36IMG.zip, or if you go to settings,system updates,htc software upgrade and take the ota.

Thanks for the tip! I ended up following the directions from the thread "READ FIRST! - Rooting, Solutions to Problems, The Answer To Life..." to flash my first rom on the EVO (Synergy RC1) and everything works flawlessly (so far) . I wiped system/data (factory reset), cache, and dalvik once and everything flashed fine. I was reading that people wipe things several times with certain roms? I have read a lot of posts in several threads where people have said they have wiped up to 4 times before flashing something. Is this necessary and why? Thx.
It's debatable..I just go down the list and wipe everything once. Never had a problem. Might want to think about switching to amon ra recovery though.
Its a good thread, and some people do that because some claim that clockwork doesn't always wipe correctly, so they do it multiple times. I've used both and never had a problem on either.
Yea, same thing on sdx with my old phone where people would swear the recovery wasn't working properly when wiping things.
One quick question about backups... When restoring from a backup you need to wipe everything as well right?

Hey guys, I seem to be having a problem on my phone recently.. Every time I start it up, or try to load an app or something, I get a message saying the process ends. This happens with Google Apps, Gingerbread Keyboard, Etc. I've tried wipe x3 then reflash, but it doesn't do anything.
I'm running
Genocide Kernel, Firmware 2.2.1, And Simply AOSP v3.1.2
I believe it's still on SFR 1.2 , but it's not saying that in the build number so I'm not sure..
someone please help.
If you have a good nand backup you can do a factory data reset and then restore advanced data. That will clear up any of the FCs. Or clear data in each of the apps giving you problems in settings>applications>manage applications>all and scroll to google services framework and click it and clear data. Do the same for the Gingerbread keyboard and any other app FCing.

Sounds like you did not have journaling enabled. The Factory Data reset and a reflash of your ROM should fix it. Find out how to enable journaling for your ROM and do it.

When you install a new ROM like AOSP all of that is gone. If you want to do SFR and Genocide instead of AOSP then go ahead. We should get you up and running first though and then you know the steps to take when it screws up again.

I would suggest either pming or posting on the AOSP thread what setup you're on and how best to convert to their Rom. Sometimes they've heard of conflicts or tricks that they can walk you through. I love SRF, but if you want to explore, you should know what works best to transition. You'll get it going, just keep toying. Worst you have to do is Odin and that's not terrible for the phone now and again.

What's the problem with flashing? Just do a cache and dalvik wipe... Not factory wipe, and flash Rom... It'll be like the theme was never there and you won't lose anything ?

As I said, I've never flashed a custom rom before, I DESPERATELY want to, but have a few concerns… if anybody has enough patience to help answer a couple concerns I have, it would be GREATLY Appreciated, and in advance, I apologize for being such a noob, but I'm big time OCD and just worry alot.
1.Nusense6 is what I want. I'm on the latest 4.4.2 / sense 6 stock rom , s-off, bootloader unlocked, rooted. So I have all the required firmware /radios, right?
2.It says it supports the motion gestures with the included kernel, So that means when I flash the rom, it'll flash the required kernel, right?
3. By wiping the cache, dalvik, data, and system wouldn't that also delete my nandroid-THAT I may need if something goes wrong?
4.once I flash it, once I go to re-download my apps, will all my in app purchases be restored? Or better yet, if I backup with Titanium backup, wouldn't the wipe before I flash the rom wipe my backups???
Again, sorry im such a noob, I always swore id stay just stock rooted, but the features of this rom has convinced me otherwise.. Any help/ guidance would be SO GREATLY APPRECIATED!

1. Good to go.
2. Yes, kernels are packed into boot.img's that get flashed with the Rom.
3. No. The data wipe in recovery does not touch your storage. You would have to choose wipe storage.
4. Your apps may or may not automatically restore...but they will be visible under my apps. Tibu will work perfectly if you do not wipe storage.
Happy flashing.

No problem. When a noob takes the time to read up and post a decent question, you'll get a decent answer. We were all there at one point.[emoji106]

Yes to system. System is where the Rom stores the major workings. If you don't wipe, it will install new files alongside old ones and you will have some ill effects...if not major ones.

Better to be OCD and ask questions before you goof something up. It is easier to prevent soft bricks than fix them

Well, obviously "Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity." Lol. He was saying he needs a sponsor for his flashing addiction.
