Rom manager

Well after struggling trying to understand flashing roms and what not I found the easy way..rom manager app from the market place...they do have a free version witch you do have to install regardless if your buying the premium..witch I did buy it to for support..after I perm rooted my phone I downloaded rom manager..clicked on the very first on to flash clockworkmod recovery..went down to back up current rom I named..went back into rom manager clicked download rom clicked the first one than bacon bits..to get bacon bit and overclock my phone to 1497mhz..its gonna ask you if you want to back up current rom I did not checked the box cuz I had already done it, than it gives you another box to clear the cache..witch I did check the box..let it do its thing took another 5 min..after it rebooted I was all done..but I did have to download all my apps again..unless if your google backup just downloads them for you..and now I just finished flashing the htc sense on my g2..everything work really nice..and the cool part is that all you have to do is go into your rom manager app..click on manage and restore back ups and you could just switch on whatever rom you want..if I want to be running froyo ot htc sense..one click away..really nice

That's awesome but u are preaching to the choir. Well some of us. I'm thinking about buying the paid version. I think it lets u download rom updates. U should check out titianium backup. One click restores apps and app data. I have the paid version one click restore.

IT should be stated that Apps ONLY should be installed from one rom to a DIFFERENT rom.
DATA is highly NOT recommended to be copied over.
Data transfer is the reason most roms dont run properly after being installed.
Using appbrain is the way to go, IMHO

buy the full verson it is worth every penny ive had since my g1 but it keep unrooting my g1 for some reason so used amon ra recovery but if you r on a g2 now the full version is a must have!

Do you know how to Odin back to stock? Follow this thread for it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853209
Then when you restore, only restore data under advanced restore.
If you used Mybackup root or Titanium you can restore your apps from there, otherwise you should download them again from the market.

I would suggest using this one:
Stock EB13 Deodexed EXT4 + CW 3.0.0.6
Most new ROMs need the newer clock work to flash them.

[Q] nandroid restore not working

Sorry if it is an obvious fix/noob question...
but i have tried searching for a while now!
Successfully installed CM 7.1.0.1
but when i try and nandroid restore everything it freezes on sony ericsson screen
(with SE logo)
i have factory reset/cleared cache/wiped dalvik etc before restoring
any ideas?
thanks in advance

Are you using the same kernel that you used when backing up? That's the main cause.
sinkster©

ah that would be my problem i assume, thanks
im quite new to this so you will have to bare with me
where can i find the stock kernel?

Stock kernel won't have cwm. How did you originally backup?
sinkster©

i rooted using zergrush method
and installed CWM v5 using auto installer
then i performed nanroid backup
thought i had everything figured out!
obv not lol

Flash the same firmware you were on and use the same method to restore. Once you have, use fastboot to boot a custom kernel and back up on that.

That would be a good idea!

sorry for annoying questions..
where can i get the .42 fw?
cant find any links for it

Make sure you have original kernel or go on developement thread and flashtool your phone with fw42 or flash kernel from doomlord and a original based rom from developement. ........ Then restore persoal setting
Good luck

rightt,
okay i seem to be getting more confused as this goes on..
basically i have tried out a couple of different roms now
but i have lost all my contacts and i have read that you are meant to sync everything with google account (i didnt do this obviously)
im currently on xperia mod ICS tweaked beta 3
my aim is to get back to stock and nandroid restore so that i can sync everything with my google account
i thought nandroid and titanium backup was all i needed
its not the end of the world if i was to lose my contacts, just a little inconveinient!
i am yet to use flash tool either (i have downloaded it though)

google backup+nandroid+titanium=happy flashing!!
from the ARC

award for stating obvious haha
i know now
any other way to get contacts back?
when i go into titanium backup and press menu button
i get an "extract from nandroid" button
but when i restore contacts/contacts storage
i continuously get a force close of android.process.acore
any ideas?
thanks all for helping

it depend on what rom do you restored from,for example you use stock rom and try restore from cm so there will be problem cause they have different database
from the ARC

You've got a problem: if you unlocked your bl then booted into cwm via a fastboot then your probably unaware of your original kernel/firmware. All you can do is try flashing individual firmwares using flashtool, or re-lock your bl, repair via se companion, unlock bl again and restore by booting into cwm the same way. Pretty time consuming, and maybe unsuccessful...

Hmm. That should restore. Have you tried reinstalling TWRP or changing versions?

How do I change versions without use of a computer?

Is there a way to make a zip or something of the recovery files to flasg? I don't really want touse smirkit
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

Is there a reason you don't want to use smirkit?

I am constantly flashing roms... Isnt it true that smirkit goes away after i flash a new rim? Will i still get to keep the updated twrp? Thanks for your help

Yes and yes. Smirkis has significantly updated his script since the last time I used it. It used to be a set of scripts to be run individually to install whatever image or binary you needed. Now, you flash the smirkit.zip installer in recovery along with any files it comes with. This makes it much easier to launch and less likely to encounter any errors, but the overall result of running the script is still the same. The image or binary gets flashed to its respective partition, to stay.
Since the smirkit.zip is flashed to the system partition in recovery, flashing a new ROM, simply overwrites the system partition along with the Smirkit installer.
So yes, you can use Smirkit and not worry about losing TRWP after rebooting or flashing a new ROM.

Smirk it saved the day. Thank you so much for your help

Question why can't backup applications in MIUI backup?

Hello.
Why is no applications backed up when backing up in miui backup?
What good is such an application if it can't back up any one application?

In Settings>Xiaomi account>Xiaomi Cloud u can make a back up that include all/most of ur apps. It's useful when u flash stock ROM only.

You didn't understand me at all.
I have a stock rom.
When backing up, every application is not backed up, only an exclamation mark appears next to them and that's it.
The backup should be 1.5 gb, but only 34 mb will be saved.

I just showed u another way to do a back up (which will restore most of ur apps) instead using miui backup (which is an app, I guess). If doesn't suit u, no problem Btw, I can do nothing to change what miui backup does, so that's why i suggested another way.

Don't bother with miui app backups, they'll just break everything if you restore them after flashing a ROM.
Use google cloud backups for settings and some app data for restoring stuff after a flash or reset.

Hi, just an additional question: does this MIUI backup works with weekly developer eu ROM ?
Thanks

It doesn't work because Miui is a real s h i t

MyPhoneExplorer works fine backing up apps at once. To restore then we need to restore one by one by using myphoneexplorer "Aplications" or copy the all directory to the phone and then install one by one.

Swish is suppose to do this but I do believe you must be rooted for a full backup

Same here. totally frustrating. Why " Not supported" ?

with xiaomi.eu ROM 12.5.9 the Backup works.
I think higher versions are buggy
