I attempted to search the forum first, but search feature has been down for me for the last 10-15 mins.
I am rooted using unrEVOked, currently using MIUI ROM....I have a question regarding ROM Manager, I made a backup of the Stock rom before installing the MIUI rom, if I want to switch to Fresh rom, and I make a backup of the MIUI rom, can I essentially go back and forth between the 3 ROMs (stock, MIUI, Fresh) by just using the recover ROM ? Will it put back all installed apps, layout of app icons, settings etc...?
This sounds like what the program would be useful for, but I am not sure if it is that easy?
Thanks in advance! sorry if this has been answered before
Thats essentially what it is used for. I would recommend getting the Titanium back up pro also so you can have your apps between different Roms. Have fun and remember to clear caches before flashing, and NANDROID!!
Thank you for your quick response.
I have mybackup pro, so I use that to backup apps.
The nandroid/rom manager backups do not maintain apps then, correct?

They back up the apps on the rom itself. If you install an app on a different rom it will not transfer over to a backed up rom.
Hiya I need help im rooted already I just need to ask when im backing my Apps with titanium back up do I back all system Apps aswell? Im still on standard rom with all the blur stuff.

If you plan to stay on same ROM. If not you don't need to a it will cause conflict
Got a Headache? It's all in your Head.
I used Titanium Backup before I switched to CM7 (note, CM7 had no market for me at first, I had to install it manually from here[url].)
Currently restoring all apps and system data. I backed up everything. Hope it works
I've used several different roms since I got my defy last February and I'm so glad I have Titanium Backup. I would recommend it to anyone that is looking for a backup solution on their android phone.
Thanks for the replys im going to put cm rom on but my question was in titanium app do I need to back up all the system Apps and my game Apps before I put c.m rom on. I would of thought that I wouldn't need all the motorola system when im putting cm on.

Does anybody know a another voicemail app that I can use? I am a running a scence 3.5 rom and sprints vvm did not come with it.
You could try Google voice but I would not recommend it because people including myself have had issues with it. Or you could try a different Sense rom.

Here is the app. You need to have vvm backed up in something like Titanium Backup, so if you have a nandroid where it was working, go back, back it up, come back to your current ROM, then install this with Root Explorer, et al, and then use Titanium to restore Data only.
Also, add this the zip file of the ROM in the system/app/ folder, then if you ever reflash it, Voice Mail will be installed with it

Thanks, hopefully I have it backup in TB.

Anyway to get that vvm or is that unique to each phone? I sort of didn't make a full backup. I only kept what I wanted. I assumed voicemail was one of those things that would just work :/
Am using Google Voice right noe and it ain't that bad. Just miss stock voicemail.

Feel pretty stupid at this point.
I froze the stock calendar with Titanium Backup on my USCC Galaxy S2 and now it will now defrost.
I did do a back up and have the stock apk, but it will not install. Even if I put it in the system.app folder and correct the priviledges.
I found the ICS thread and have looked at the packages.xml but can not find the right place to enable it.
I am sure I am just missing something in the packages.xml but not shure what...
Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.
That's one of the pain for system apps. Little bit dumb way - if you made the whole titanium backup, apply it all together. If no changes on calendar, then reapply the same rom over current rom with modified format all tool.

Thanks for the reply. I tried the full restore from Ti Backup but it did not fix the stock calendar. I will wait and try a rom once a few are out for the USCC Galaxy S2. I will jut use CalenGoo for now.
Due to the limited space available on this phone, I have always had to delete and reinstall apps as needed. I meant to uninstall the first 2 updates for google play, to make some room, so I could update them when I wanted to install an app. I ended up uninstalling the final time, which completely removed Google Play/Android Market.
How would I go about getting it on this phone with severely limited storage?
FYI, it is rooted with stock ROM.

you could probably open a gapps package for one of the aosp roms like cyanogenmod ect and take the market app. then using a root file browser move it to system/app and then set the permissions to the same as the rest of the apps in that folder and then reboot.
just be sure to get the right gapps package for your android version. I.E if your on stock then you are still on gingerbread, so i would use the cm7 gapps as that is also gingerbread.

Flashing with the gapps is one option. But, if you flashed with the wrong one (for eg, gapps for ICS & JB should not be used to flash with the Custom HTC ROM since it runs on Ginger Bread) that could lead to more issues
How about following this link and downloading the apk?This would be helpful only if you have any File manager. Once downloaded , just browse to the apk file and click on it. I would prefer Astro File manager
Well, if you don't have a file manager, then you can download it from here
Oh Yeah .. Almost forgot
Make sure that the option "Allow installation of non-market apps" is checked.
psst..
Try Link2SD and create some partitions in your SD card . You can save some space by doing this
Well, I'm kind of screwed now. I tried a factory reset, from the recovery menu, and STILL didn't get market/google play back. I managed to install titanium backup when a friend sent it to me via bluetooth (before the factory reset), so I backed everything up, but now I don't have anything installed, and I'm pretty sure I lost root as well.
I guess it's more incentive to get that new phone I've been eyeing. Will backed up messages/contacts from gingerbread restore to ICS via titanium backup?

Why did you do that? Factory reset only deletes data files that are not there on stock. It cannot restore anything you have deleted from the system....
If you flash a superuser root zip from recovery you will regain root. Then use adb to install a file browser. Look around to get a copy of es explorer. Its free from the market therefore not warez. Once you have that installed follow the post above to regain the market. No need to get a new phone man. If your really stuck then just flash a custom gingerbread rom and you will have it all back.
Also some app data will restore from gingerbread to ice cream sandwich but which will all depend on how much the app changes between versions.

Messages & Contacts can be restored, can't we?

Hi heavy_metal_man, Do you think that we can restore contacts and messages using Titanium Backup. You have mentioned apps in your post, does that include messages and contacts as well?

Hey cam94z28 ,I don't think buying a new phone is necessary. You can just get it right . Then again, its you call
If you are planning to buy a new phone just because of the above mentioned issue, that won't be necessary dude . Flash a new ROM like heavy_metal_man said. Try Wildchild2 or WC3.3. You will get the HTC stock ROM looks rather than the Default Gingerbread looks (as in the case of CyanogenMod 7). Well, one good thing about these ROMs are that they are 99.9% stable . Also, installing the ROM is that all it takes, you don't have to flash gapps or anything. Another good thing is that Anthony has preloaded the ROMs with 'Android Market' app , which is faster and takes less space of our internal memory. Give it a try, mate make sure that your phone is rooted before flashing a new ROM
you can download google play from external sites or just search google android-vending.apk of latest version

I don't think it would go well while changing android versions due to app changes. It maybe would work if updating between versions of cyanogenmod/aosp/aokp roms. Or at a push from sense to sense but these apps are very different from sense to aosp and i dont believe titanium backup would flash data to a different app, and the os change would possibley not support the old apk. I use an app called sms back up restore to back up my texts, and android offers a export contacts to your sd card function. So I use that

Yes, I got root back, the zip was still on the sd card. It keeps wanting to upgrade to the newest su binary, but fails every time.
I ended up having a friend send me root explorer via gmail. I downloaded the .apk right from the gmail app, and installed. After enabling r/w mode in root explorer, moving the vending.apk from Wildfire S appropriate gapps package to the /system/app folder, setting permissions, and rebooting, google play is working again. I wish I had done that before doing a factory reset. I backed up first with titanium backup, but can't seem to restore contacts or messages. Tried restoring "Messages", and "MessageCS". Appears to be successful, but nothing shows up in the Messages app.

I guess I used it as an excuse to get a new phone. I always wanted to try a different ROM on my Wildfire S, but now, there's really no need. I guess I could use it as my "experimentation phone", and run everything from Wi-Fi
I ended up getting a LG Optimus L9, and moving to T-Mobile. Very happy with the phone. Not happy with their 4G service so far, but it's only the first day. So far internet is very laggy, and only seems to average 3 bars (out of 5),while Virgin Mobile 3G was always very responsive, and usually had it's total of 4 bars maxed out.
I got the wal-mart $30 special (100 minutes, Unlimited text, Unlimited data, First 5GB at 4G, then throttled). That's a better data plan than VM, but if the service is sluggish, who cares.
