How to get rid of sense...

Now I just rooted my htc evo with revoked3, and i would really love to know how to stop sense and keep it turned off so i can use another launcher. (for ex. launcherpro) so basically have launcherpro and my main and have sense off, and not having it reset and turning back on every once in a while.

Uninstall it with titanium backup. Do a nand backup before of course.

what do you mean by a nand backup?

Try this.....

in titanium backup, can i just freeze htc sense and it wont run in the background?

Go to settings -> applications.
Find HTC Sense and select it.
Then select clear defaults.
Press the home button and you will be prompted to choose your launcher to use. Select your launcher and make sure you check "use as default" . And your done, Sense shouldn't pop up anymore.

You could also install a senseless rom like cyanogenmod 6

I have been testing as much roms as I can as fast as I can. So far I have tried fresh, baked, and netarchys. To me something would be broken in the phones functionality and they were never the same broken issues. So far I have had better luck modifying the stock rom and the op probably wants to do the same.

Can ICS Folders be backed up?

I really like the new ICS Folders, but do tend to flash a lot. Any way to back them up so you don't have to re-create them every time you flash a new rom?
OR, does anyone know of a folder app that has a similar style to the ICS folders?

bump ... wanna know the same thing!

Nope, not that I'm aware of. You could use a third-party launcher like LauncherPro or ADW that has homescreen backups, but I'm not sure any of them have the same kind of folder capability.

I backed up mine using titanium backup pro and it restore back all my apps including my folders. I did had to setup all my widgets back though.

I didn't realize titanium would backup the ISC folders... I guess next time I load a rom, I will give that a try. Thanks

the folders should be tied to the launcher. so backup that up with titanium or similar app.

Get that, but how do you backup the stock launcher?

can this be done with the free version?

The Free version of TiBackup works just the same for backing up and restoring. But the paid version gets you batch 1-click restore, and several other advanced features.

When I was flashing new ROMs, titanium backup was not restoring my ICS folders. However, if you use the Nova Launcher, which is based on ICS and do a titanium backup of that launcher, when you restore, your folders come back.
It's the little things in life that make me happy !
Nova Launcher is really nice !

I backed up the stock ics launcher with titanium, and restored just the data..not the app. This worked fine to restore my folders, but I had to re-create a couple of shortcuts for apps that 'weren't installed' after flashing peter alfonso's 4.03 nightly. It seems to me that the launcher itself might change between 4.02/4.03, so I wanted to play it safe and keep just the data. To be honest...even keeping the data from 4.02 makes me nervous. I just don't know enough about it.

[TUT] How to easily restore data when changing roms.

Hey fellas.
I don't know if this is wrong section or not, but i have something to share.
Are you a sort of person who changes ROMS alot and finds it buggy to keep restoring data and installing the apps again.
This Thread Is going to guide you how you can easily restore your apps and data easily.
Note: Only tested on Gingerbread.
Note: I have only tested this on the same CM7 versions, like Restoring between Apocalypse and Miracle V4, and Official CMs. This might not work for other ROMS which are not Cyanogen Mod like Adrenaline Rom, Stocklite, Lewa, Joy Os and many others.
This is not any sort of personal mod but is something included withing our Ace.
For this to work you ofcourse need to be rooted and have Clockwork Mod Recovery.
Guide:
TO BACKUP DATA AND APPS.
1. First, On your ROM. Install all the apps that you need on other ROMS, and all the data you need on your current ROM
2. Reboot into recovery.
3. Glide to Backup And Restore.
4. Make a Backup.
Now when you install another ROM, you ofcourse need to wipe data and cache and stuff.
Guide:
TO RESTORE ONLY DATA AND APPS.
1. On your new rom, Reboot into Recovery.
2. Glide to Backup and Restore.
3. Select Advanced Restore
4. Select the date of the backup you made above.
5. Restore data.
6. Reboot.
You'll see that all your apps of the previous rom are now working with the new rom without wasting lots of time in installing.
If you end up in bootloops, or hangs try restoring cache too.
And If your device is not booting and is stuck at splash screen. Try adb reboot recovery or pull out battery, boot into recovery and to full restore.

Or one of the best way Is to use Titanium Backup

sime times titanium backup is buging and the rom stop work

tested with a lewa backup restoring to a fresh lewa install. bootloop.
same with cm7 - lewa and cm7 to cm7 :/
I use titanium, but for post rom flash i use gobackup, handles contacts, messages as well as apps, but also remembers your widgets, folder layouts etc. By far the quickest solution following a reset.

Yes you can even n use titanium backup but I heard people have issues with it, and in titanium backup the restoring is way slower plus the apps need to be restored manually..

Can work on cm9 as long as you're using same version. Like it works for CM9 and Paranoid Ancroid.

Is there any way to backup data only?, Not to backup the entire rom.
Using another recovery?

No...as I know ace supports only like 3 recoveries. Clockwork mod is the best. You can backup data using titanium backup by touching menu button then batch and click run next to backup all user data and system apps. Then you can restore them the normal way. But in recoveries you have to backup everything.

I have both titanium and go installed and I find go superior for restore post rom flash
I have the titanium apk saved on my sd card, install that first, use that to install gobackup and s2e, then use go backup to restore the rest.
Go saves contacts, but also call history, messages, as well as your launcher and widget layouts as well as all apps, and it seems much quicker to restore things than titanium is. The downside is less options when restoring, but for a quick reinstall its the quickest. I use titanium for the other features such as freezing apps, restoring old backups, data etc.

You do know that this is just basically flashing a rom over another without data wiping. This method can be buggy 50%.

where is flashing a rom over another without data wiping? The rom is installed in the usual way, cache cleared, factory reset etc, install the rom. and then restore your apps. Its worth noting that the op just said he has tested it in CM7 based rom, so hes not changing rom source.
that said, several people in the thread, myself included have said it does not work with their cm7 based rom. I tested and got bootloops.
And honestly there is no point when there are perfectly good backup packages like titanium, go etc to use.

Can you confirm this is working with amarulls script installed.. ?

Titanium works the best!!

I tried carrying out some tests. And, it works perfect across CM7.
I flashed cm7 nightly, two of the RCs, and some stable releases and this method works great.
It's also a lot faster, because I am a gamer. And installing the games again, then copying data to appropriate location is very time consuming.
So this method works best for me.
I will try testing if it works on Lewa, Joy, Mokee OS..etc.
But, as long as the base is CM7, I don't think there is any problem that can come across.

Faster App Install After Flashing

You do not have to go to Google Play when reinstalling all your apps.
On a rooted phone, using a file explorer program, go to the data folder, then go to the app folder.
Here are all the apps that you have downloaded.
All you have to do is to make a folder on your SD card (or where ever you want) and copy all the files to that folder.
Now when you want to reinstall any or all apps, they are there to install.
I have all my apps reinstalled in about 10 minutes after flashing.

Or just use Titanium Backup. Will Auto re-install all your apps for you.

Yeah. Anyone who flashes uses titanium....it does all the work. So much faster than doing a manual install.

Make a nandroid before flashing the rom. Flash your new rom. Without leaving recovery, choose advance restore and restore Data form the nandroid you just made. Reboot.
You'll have your apps restored before ever booting your new rom.

Restoring a nandroid /data backup will, I don't think titanium can...could be wrong though. But if you do a nandroid restore, you need to be on the same type of Rom. Ie stock ics restoring a stock ics nandroid data file is fine, but if you are on asop and flash nandroid data from a stock backup it may cause issues.

If you use a 3rd party launcher, restoring it from TiBu will restore all settings in most cases.

Thanks. That makes sense. I spent a good hour laying out my icons and widgets that I did not want to go through that again but don't want to test it out to see what works.

If you use Titanium Backup, you can choose to save the layout for your TouchWiz-based home under system settings (shows up as TouchWiz), and if you restore that, it'll keep your layout, except perhaps for widget placement, if they're a third-party widget and not installed when you restore the TW settings. It'll definitely work on third-party launchers too, though.

[Q] Changing ROM and Titanium Backup

Hi guys,
I'm going to change my ROM and i' like a tip from you.
I never used Titanium Backup, and seeing the options I had a doubt...
There are 3 options:
Backup user apps, backup system data, and backup user apps and system data.
After I change the ROM, what backup should I restore?
Is it possible to restore system data from one ROM to another different ROM?
Thanks all...
