So I know what a nandroid backup does but I was hoping you guys can help me understand a couple of things better. After you create one, is it always there or just until you restore it? Also, can you backup multiple nandroid backups, and when you're done with one, how do you delete it?

Yes they are always there... they go to the clockworkmod folder on the sd card... and you can deete them from there if no longer needed.. you can nandroid a rom as many times as you want... I have about 5 different roms backed up right now that I can jump to anytime I want...

Awesome thank you for explaining. One more question. Do you always wipe data and caches before restoring or does the nandroid restore do it for you?

Since we're all here about Nandroids should they take >30 minutes to do? My Epic always hangs on .android_secure for a huge amount of time before it actually starts backing stuff up or restoring it. That's why I don't do them, in the time it takes to make a backup I can already be restoring my stuff.

You are using CWM 5.0.2.7 right? Because that has a better backup and restore method that takes about half the time of it's predecessors.
Sorry for the newbie question, but how does one perform a "nandroid backup" on their phone? I did a search and figured I should ask in this thread.
I want to flash the latest Sleeper ROM but I've been told to do a nandroid backup first incase I have problems.

i had problems while i was restoring. but i think it is because of having a theme with a mtd rom. but i didn't try a different one. i am back to stock now i have to get my screen to flake out more so i can take it in.
edit: the backup would do the restore process just fine and it booted up but only the backlit keys would be on nothing else would show up. and the back up only took like 3-5 mins tops but i didn't have any apps installed you know one of those flashaholics

yea its a refurb. this is my 4th phone. and this one has been f 'ed from the get go when ever it is on a white screen say like when facebook 1st loads there will be lines that goes across the screen. some times there really bad other time there not even there. I dont get it but I cant take it in till it gets worse because sprint people will be like there is nothing wrong.
Yep white lines sounds like the screen has an issue... if you could get a picture or video or reproduce it at the store then they'll fix it. On what rom did you expierence this though I know sometimes its because the kernels depending on how the defaults are set on voodoo control if of course that rom supports it.

it does it with stock but not as often. but any custom rom its worse. even before mtd. alot of it is when i am using heavy data. my normal is streaming pandora and while on xda and facebook. I know the screen was the worst on miui. it was doing big black lines and then the screen had this greenish yellow tint to it for about 5 mins. thats what made me go back. maybe what i should do is get a custom kernel keep stock take a picture of my phone with my wifes and then go back to stock and walk on in the store.

Lately I've been really annoyed with phone, for some reason it just randomly reboots for God knows what reasons! Is this common or even a known issue ?
Are you running stock or a custom rom and kernel? I've never had a reboot with stock or on Starburst with lostkernel.

I dunno man, if that isn't happening without some 'aftermarket modifications', umm, I'd swap the damn phone. That isn't normal. I never get reboots unless I am overclocking on perf gov with everything maxed out...and that's pretty much it. If you are getting reboots just sitting there or dicking around on the internet that would be more than enough reason for me to take it in and swap it out...especially if you can reproduce the it for them.
Thanks for the replies guys, to answer your questions no I'm completely stock running stock kernel and it happens whenever I'm online or some apps will trigger it. I'd hate to restore but I think it's the only way
Ive had it a couple times.
It started after uploading app from market installing it while I was deleting one at same time
device crashed reboot took place.
From that point a had a couple reboots within days Touchwiz error displaying automatically going to phone keypad no escape from it.
I ended up doing factory reset fixed it all is well
did you by chance take an SD card out if another phone and pop it into that phone? if so, back up whatever data is on it, and try formatting it (if that cures the reboots, obviously something on the sd is corrupt and not cooperating with the system... dont restore anything from that backup you took after formatting) I would then try a facotry reset if the previous doesn't work. if the factory reset doesn't cure it, I'd swap the phone.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Thanks guys, I installed all the apps I could to the sd card. In other words all the apps were in the internal memory and that seems to fix the issue.

All the info you need "should" be in the OP for the ROM. For instance SRF 1.2 requires you to also flash a kernel of your choice. Most ROMs are EXT4 these days but there are a few RFS ROMs out there. And almost all include a kernel. So if you want to try someone's recommended ROM for battery life, just remember to run several backups first, a nand and something like Titanium Backup.

I liked simply aosp, it was a good ROM. I ran the revolted kernel with it and got good battery life and performance. if u did triple wipes in cwm like u were supposed to, then it would be like starting a new ROM with nothing on it. Are u sure u flashed it right?

When modding someone else's phone that it the kind of ROM you want. The one that makes some new graphics and keeps everything else the same. What launcher is on her phone? If it is still Touchwiz, get her to start using another launcher since a lot of ROMs remove twlauncher as bloat. I got ADW for my GF and I use Zeam. It will save you a homescreen nightmare.

well, as long as it works, then you're good to go. i always found that flashing without wiping data or restoring data from a previous flash has a tendency to cause issues with the rom later on. if u do have any problems, u may have to go back into cwm and wipe data as well as the cache and dalvik (3x/ea) then reflash your rom. but again, if it ain't broke... also, kenny said something about the touchwiz launcher... that launcher is included in the simply aosp rom under the "simply settings" app, as are the gingerbread launcher and the froyo launcher. i like touchwiz ok, i prefer the gingerbread launcher over that tho.

Does this happen even when dialing out? I know there are settings for voicemail to automatically play on speaker, but never heard this issue before for phone calls. And I don't think 5.5 is being supported anymore. Marcusant has his own rom now which us based off 5.5.

Yeah, revival is the one.
As far as the speakerphone issue, I have run just about all the ROMS out there for EI22 and have not seen or heard of that issue. Have you installed any 3rd party apps that would interact with the dialer, like Go Dialer or anything like that? Its a very weird issue indeed, but sounds like a corrupted file maybe or something. Not being a dev, the best thing I can come up with is to reflash the ROM.

If you still have the theme zip, extract the .apk , and save it to your sd card. Then install. Or if you backed it up with titanium you can restore it from there.

I get stuck everytime unless I use the Darkside Cache Wipe. After running that, RC2 loaded like a dream. Still searching for Wifi Calling though.
*edit* I flashed RC2 from the last nightly. But everytime I would use CWM to flash the latest nightly, I would have weird errors, (stuck on boot screen, CWM wouldn't start the install process, etc.) I kept a copy of DARKSIDE CACHE WIPE and decided to try to run that prior to install. Flashed RC2, booted no problem.

It is recommended that you do a full wipe before updating between nightlies, as generally significant amount of bugs are fixed and new codes implemented, so there are alot of changes. Not doing a wipe can interfere with these changes. If you don't want to re-install all the apps again after every rom flash, try 'app2zip' from the market.
Here's the link for that app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=scd.app2zip&hl=en
It will let you pack all the apps you currently have and want into a CWM flashable zip, which you can flash right after you wipe and install a new rom to get back all your apps.

There's no porting required. Just get the firmware/stock ROM of the galaxy s2 and dig into the /system/media/audio/ui folder on your computer and there you will find all the click sounds, as well as unlock sounds. Just copy the ones you want from your computer into the sd card of your phone and then go into the same directory in your phone (the /audio/ui folder) and replace the click noises with the ones you copied over, making sure that the name of the files is the exact same as the ones you are replacing. Also make sure that the file permissions are the same as the other files in that folder. Done!
Hope that helps guys.
Cheers.
I am currently running RC2 with TDJs Venom 4 CM9 #3 Kernel. Using the badass governor to conserve battery. Usually this governor is fantastic and is amazing with performance and saving battery.
For some reason today, this ROM/Kernel/Governor combo is draining battery a lot faster than normal and I am not sure why.
2 hours ago my phone was at 100% battery. It's now down to 91%, almost a 5% drop per hour. Typically I would get 8 to 10% battery drop in 5 hours time running the badass governor. I haven't used my phone more today than I normally would, so battery shouldn't be dropping as quickly.
CPU Spy confirms my phone is going into deep sleep and has been in deep sleep for 85% of the time. That is good and that is what I want it to do. Then GSam Battery showed that a particular app was keeping the phone awake for 29mins. I froze that particular app 30mins ago and in the 30mins since I froze the app the battery still drained 2%.
Anyone else running the same setup as me and notice faster than normal battery drain?
I dont know if this has been talked about before. For the person on the other side to hear me good I have to speak louder than usual. What i mean is, that before, i was able to whisper when i was on the phone since i work in an office, but now after the last few nightlies, i have to talk louder into the mic for people to hear me good. I was running some tests myself and i find that the pickup on the mic is very low when using the phone as normal, but the pickup is fine when using the speaker phone (Im able to whisper and the mic will pick it up). I just wanted to know if this is the remains of the underwater effect that we once had?

Make sure you have noise suppression enabled in dialer settings. If you don't, that should clear it up.

Well, at least you were honest about not searching so I'll answer..
Go here, download the latest ICS one click..
:edit: Obviously you'll want the Restore and not the no data..

Buggy? What do you mean buggy?I have had a near flawless experience
My led notifications dont work for any mseed calls emails texts nothing , and ive tried everything using different apps deleting apps and reinstalling them.. this is big thing for me being I cant have my volume on at work so having led lets me know I missed call or have a new email / text
Also I cant send or get mms.. called sprint no towers or any known issues , also pulled battery put back in still dont work
Apps get deleted from my home pages and its different apps each time ....
Once in a while it will try to make a emergency call

Are you interested in trouble shooting or are you to the point that you're set to jump back to ICS?
If you are interested in trying to figure out your issues; we'd need to know which FK23 you used to start. You said you were stock/unrooted so I'd assume you used the .tar file with Odin, but I don't want to assume.
Like third son, I use Fk23 as my dd and have, so far, had a great experience to my delight. I used the intial .tar with pc Odin.
I would start from scratch. Sounds like you got a flacky install.
I guess I can try again... I followed the youtube video from qbking77 so whatever the video used is what I used lol
I mean I like this update but to buggy for me
So ill give it one more try. Any other way to try it would be great

+1 to this.
OP - Try this link. (I'm am not saying it's better than _dan's, Mattix's, garwynns / nor am I saying unrooted is better than rooted. I'm saying this is the build that's my DD and has been great for me.)
Be advised to backup everything important from your phone prior. Read everything and take your time. I know you were busy but don't rush.
If you have any questions, I'm sure there are a ton of people willing to answer.
The Tar is complete (Rom/kernel/modem)

LED flashes blue for me when I get notifications
mms works instantly
gps is a near instant lock (unless I am in a known dead zone)
I got 16hr of battery yesterday with over 3h of screen time and still had 32% left in my battery before I plugged it in.
I had some problems using AGATs recovery. I did an initial install of the TAR (which erased my internal SD) then I flashed the one click and AGAT ( when they were first posted.and had some screen brightness issues) I tried a nandroid with the recovery and it nuked all my apps. I went back to the TAR (with ODIN) and have rooted stock now with no problems. Used Titanium backup to rid myself of the Sprintware. Waiting for source to droppatiently waiting :crying:waiting....:angel:
Don't give up on FK23 yet...once it is installed correctly it hits on all cylinders......

No, you don't have to reflash ICS. When you get home and if you have questions before hand, just ask.
Everything you mentioned works fine for me. Except apps disappearing from homepage, I got that too. Unless you move them to the internal sd it will keep happening. Hopefully that's fixed with FL04.. I have way too much apps and need as much on external as possible.

If you have the modem flashed already, don't worry about that one. Look on "about phone" to find out. The rooted one click will give you both kernel and rom. Are you familiar with how to do that? Not being a wise guy....just asking....
Here is the thread from xda. I think team sextape doesn't want us to link to their site (maybe I'm wrong)

Just go into download mode and flash this....the unrooted one if rooting doesn't matter to you....
