Hi All,
Sorry to bother you guys but I'm a very new and wet behind the ears HD user. Initially i had an Orange UK branded HD but wanted to get rid of the Orange rubbish so ended up downgrading and installing Leedroid_HD_V2.2.3 which Ive been running for a month or so, i love the ROM and have it exactly as i want it.
Now my question is this;
Ive recently seen that theres an updated Leedroid ROM out (V3.0.0 GB) and id like to upgrade to it, is there any way of 'ghosting' my current setup (apps/widgets/settings) so that i don't have to go through the hassle of installing and configuring to get it back to how id like it ?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Dave.
You could use Titanium Backup, but not recommend as your restoring between different builds. Also my backup root has capability to restore system settings, sms, apps, data etc.
I was in the same situation today, just downloaded all the apps fresh, and setup how I like. I only restored data to a couple games, not to any system app.
Ok, took a little while, but will save a lot of hurt later on with force closes etc.
After setup, just make a fresh titanium & nan-backup cwm for GB.

please write the name of the thread concretly and making reference to your problem next time.. thx buddy!!! i think that it is not a stupid question.
EDIT: IF you enable the security backup of your google account,your app list is going to auto-restore when you initialize your new rom the fist time...
the user data,etc.. not recomened restore it if you go from froyo to gingerbread like upintheair said.

Just a very quick question!
Im currently playing around with the genius works from the chefs in the desire hd rom development section,
Im trying to limit the amount of info i loose each time!
Ive done a titanium back up.
If i were to restore all (system and apps) would this have adverse effects when using a differant build ie, i backed up on the leaked gingerbread and have gone back to a froyo build? (due to the speed of the custom kernels ect)
Im thinking restore system might give me things like text messages back? at the same time im thinking the phone will get confused to chuf as it will be writing system files for a differant build!
Thanks for your help!
Yeah it would hav adverse effects i.e fc after fc after fc lol apps and data only no system data what is it you want to keep bookmarks contacts ect can be saved on google account and you can save other stuff with htc sync

Hi, I've got a recently rooted HTC desire, and since rooting it I have been playing around with a couple of roms; I have tried both cyanogenmod and a desire hd rom. However with both I have had the same problem - having to start fresh completely, without any of my data. And then having to restore a backup.
So my question is firstly, am I doing something wrong? I have tried restoring my data before but all I ever get is a bootloop when I restart so I have to wipe it again.
And then, if you do have to start afresh, is it really worth it? And why.
Thanks for reading

I try to keep it simple.
You say you've tried restoring your data? With...Clockworkmod? Or what? If you restore only /data-partition with Clockworkmod (I'm not sure if it's even possible, never have tried it) you are bound to have problems.
Same goes with Titanium Backup. When you're switching ROM from say, a Sense rom to Cyanogenmod - don't ever restore all settings. The ROM's are too different and their settings aren't compatible with each other! I myself only restore WiFi Access point list (and installed apps) when switching ROMs.
So if I've understood you correctly, you're not doing anything wrong (unless you're restoring a nandroid after flashing...)
A correct procedure for switching roms (not for updating the same ROM unless stated explicitly!) is:
-Titanium Backup/Mybackup/whatever your apps (and as little settings as possible, it's mostly trial and error)
-Nandroid backup (so you can revert when there are problems)
-Wipe data / factory reset (wipes everything but FAT32-partition of SD-card)
-Flash the new rom
-Restore your apps with TB/something else and manually input your settings (accounts, etc shouldn't be backed up either...)
Something you could consider if you want to jump ROMs all the time, is to set up your installation the way you like it, then do a nandroid backup, install a new rom, then set it up again and backup it, then if you want to switch these 2 roms you can just restore the one you want...Of course replacing the nandroid backup if you've done a lot of changes
Now for your last question: Starting fresh is worth it. Otherwise you will most probably run to force closes and other problems that force you to do a factory reset anyway.
Thanks for the reply! Very helpful... so if I go into titanium backup and backup all apps, will that backup contacts and text messages etc. also? Or will I have to lose them?

Umm, I can't say about contacts, because I always sync them from my work Exchange & Gmail, and for text messages I recommend a free app called SMS Backup+ https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync&feature=search_result
The software backs up your SMS to your Gmail as messages, to a label called SMS , and they can be restored with a click to your new rom.
Also People app (in Sense) and Dialer (in AOSP roms) can export contacts to SD so you can easily import them back.
I have finally found some time to root my desire. After rooting will use the device for a while then will think about custom ROM.
I wanted to know,
1) What are the immediate things to do after rooting my HTC Desire?
I was thinking...
- remove google maps app
- remove gmail app
- remove facebook app
- remove youtube app
- .... .... .....
don't know what are the bloatware on Desire... just need to remove and cleanse it
Edit:
Also wanted to know, what apps can be installed to use after rooting which will enhance usage of my HTC Desire.
i remember only one app - Titanium Backup
2) Need suggestions for more apps ??
Glad to hear your intentions too many people run into trouble after not reading the info on here after rooting...........I was one
I think the purpose of rooting a phone is to install custom rom.. you can also play with stock rom, but that doesn't give you a lot of "fun" yet !
Sad to see only 2 replies which were non informative
I finally rooted my desire.
The unrevoked tutorial helped but, i never got the 5th option of Hboot USB. So had to read some threads and gave it a go by installing the USB drivers and then running the unrevoked.
after rooting, i installed few apps
Titanium Backup
SystemAppRemover
My Backup Pro
Adfree
Then, took backups using Titanium and My Backup.
Next used Adfree, though it says it blocks the ads... it doesnt... anyone want to give inputs for this ?
regarding apps to remove, i need inputs so that i can remove only apps which will not cause issues. My primary criteria is to free up phone memory as much as i can.
regarding the ROM, i have a 4 GB SD card, i was planning to go for a 8 GB and then install ROM. Can anyone tell me with 8 GB is the a drop of performance ?
Hi.
I come from an HTC Desire and I have some backups that I made with MyBackup Pro of some app's data. Relevant data like some games progresses, Libra's database, etc. MyBackupPro has an online backup and I backed the data online on the HTC Desire and tried to restore it in the Galaxy Nexus. The Galaxy Nexus recognizes the backup, shows the apps that are backed up, but when I press Restore it says that I should reboot the device and that the restore was OK almost instantaneously. Nothing is restored, no data is transferred to the phone..
Is there any other way to migrate this kind of data? Shouldn't MyBackup Pro be working on the Galaxy Nexus?
Thanks in advance
Anyone?
Maybe the app needs an update for ICS? Try to check their site to see if there's a reported problem, that's most likely the case.
Should have gone with Titanium Backup. I never had much luck with MyBackup anyway. Titanium is rock star on ICS.
The only problem Ive had so far has been restoring SMS with Pro.
Even with busy box installed its suuuper slow at the moment.
I sent them an email, I'll wait for an answer.. But I guess it is due to incompatibilities with ICS too..
AmesCell, I have always used MyBackup while using the Desire, never had a problem. Anyway, I still have the Desire and can use Titanium, but my Galaxy Nexus isn't rooted, and Titanium needs root.

Your signature says your Desire is rooted. Rooting the GN is easy. I go through 4 phones a year. I couldn't imagine doing that without Titanium.
Yes, the Desire is rooted, but I wasn't planning on rooting the GN so soon. I just got it 2 days ago and I want to see how this goes without any "hacks"..
I wouldn't have rooted the Desire in the first place if it wasn't for the lack of updates, etc... That's the main reason I bought the GN, having a more official support. Let's see, I'm almost sure that I'll root it in the future, but I don't want to do it right now.. I'll just wait for the Rerware answer to my email and see how it goes.
Thanks
Any update?
Rerware already answered, but no updates. Although I think I know what the problem is. I am only backup up app's Data, because they are already installed in the GN. But this is a "root only" feature and, for what I understood, non-rooted devices cannot restore this kind of backup, only APK backups. I asked this to the guys at Rerware to see if there is a workaround.
When I have news I'll post them here.

restoring your data/sms/backups is a "hack"
Hi,
Did you manage to find a solution to this problem? My phone is rooted and it still doesnt restore anything. Just like you said it finds the backup but then when you select the arrow next to apps to tick which ones you want to restore nothing is shown..
I need this to restore my game saves, spotify offline music etc
This happened to me with my sensation before. Somehow the backup got corrupted to I deleted it and started from scratch. Sorry to hear this happened to you it seriously sucks losing akk that stuff. What I've been doing is using from manager to restore my data partition and I've never had any issues SO FAR.
Enable advanced options, click restore and restore backup and only select the data.

I managed to solve the problem......
First my story:
I decided to install new ROM on my phone....i backed up apps and data with My Backup Pro (i bought the app)
My phone is rooted of course.
So i installed the new ROM and then i installed the My Backup Pro and started to restoring apps but i didn't get the app/data/app+data popup
and of course i couldn't restore my data from apps. i got really frustrated and browsed the web and couldn't find anything.
I started everything from the begining uninstalled all apps and figured it out that i did something wrong....and that is this that My Backup Pro doesn't work as it should without busy box...u have to install Busy Box before installing the My Backup Pro!
Follow this tutorial in order to restore your apps + data
Backing up apps on android (rooted) after installing new ROM
With My backup pro application
1. Backup apps + data
2. Backup dictionary
3. Backup all other data you want to
Install new ROM and then start restoring by this order
1. first install busy boxes i found there are two (BusyBox and BusyBox installer on the google store. install both)
2. install My backup pro and when asked to install additional options for rooted phone choose yes (now you should be able to choose between app/data/app+data to restore)
3. restore apps + data
4. thats it...enjoy!
It worked for me!! :good:
Hello,
this is my first post so let me say hello to you all! Now to my problem, I have a Defy+ (german O2 branding) and was not satisfied with the performance/memory/battery usage and in general all the motoblur stuff. I rooted the phone using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595013 howto and it went smooth and was running afterwards without problem. I setup some apps to replace the motoblur crap and started to remove parts of it using the ROM Toolbox Lite app to make backups of the system apps so I'd be able to revert things if there was a problem. Well now there is a problem an all the backups did not save me. Her is what I did:
- motorola system apps removed, problem with com.motorola.datamanager (no gsm connection anymore)
- restore of some apps via ROM Toolbox
- no effect
- restore of all apps ROM Toolbox
- no gsm
- factory reset (a friend advised that)
After the reboot I could see a gsm icon for a second before the defy+ becomes unusable because of a popup that states the process 'com.motorola.setup' ended unexpectedly. I can't get rid of this and therefore can't do anything with the phone. None of the buttons respond to anything and all I can do - if I am very quick - is to shut the phone down.
What can I do about it? Should I repeat the rooting process and therefore flash a new ROM in the process? Will this help?
Thank you for any suggestions!

You could start practise using CWM and backup either your entire nandroid or just your systems.
Next time if you fall into trouble, just hit CWM and restore back to the previous state safely.
And my advise is use TitaniumBackup as it offer a lot more options than you can imagine. Just freeze the app you don't like or convert any downloaded app into system app.. you could backup apps too and uninstall them while still having the backup in your memory card.
And lastly, playing with the system apps is kind of risky so you must take one at a time doing it to be sure of no side effect..

This will be valuable advice in the future, thank you. But I still need to find a way to access the device again. Any thoughts on that?
