[Q] Getting Back old Info after Flashing A New rom

I tried several times to flash a new rom (specifically XquiziT_xD V 69, 70) and every thing worked great but when i tried to re-install my old backed up data like third party software it started crashing on me I used TB to re-install or used TWRP recovery install data only but it force closes a lot of my programs it gets very unstable. Is there any good way to re-install my old data with account info. after a rom flash ?
Thanks

There are some programs that really hate being restored with TB. NEVER restore system settings with TB aside from the very few that are green in the TB app, even than do so sparingly. (I usually only ever restore sms and Internet with TB).
If you have third party apps that are acting up after doing a restore from TB try downloading the app manually from the market (after a clear data and uninstall) than just restore data only. This is assuming you are restoring "app+data" in TB.
Sometimes apps simply don't behave correctly when restoring from a backup ever. In those cases you will simply have to set up the app manually.

Oh, forgot to mention also that if you are going from one version of android to another (I. E. - ICS to JB) most backups won't work right. Backups usually only install properly when restoring to the same version android as the backup.

I've always used tb and never had an issue but as stated only restoring market apps, never tried restoring system apps but have heard bad things can happen. Just last night went from a touch wiz at&t Rom to aokp and restored all my apps with no problems

[Q] Partition table change?

Hey Guys,
I'm temporarily back on stock due to regular overheating/crashing of my desire resulting in a bootloop. I notice that after installing only a few apps, the phone starts complaining about the amount of space left. Even less this time than the amount of apps that made me switch to Miui and Cyanogen which allowed installation on a second partition.
Therefore I'm wondering whether I might have changed something in the partition tables that is now limiting the space to run apps. I've noticed that my phone slows down considerably when using the other roms and would like to retain the speed that comes with a fresh install and possibly retaining the apps on the phone instead of an sd. (I'm fine settling for less apps if necessary)
So, could it be the case I've changed the partition? How can I check it's values? How can I find out the best values applicable to my rom and/or a stock installation? How would you recommend to change the partitions?
Thnx very much!

Read hboot requirement of the Rom you are currently using and/or the a2sd script requirement with SD-Ext.

I'm on stock now, but looking for other options. It should be fast and stable offcourse, but most of all it should have a sense like dialer. Meaning, I'd like to be able to type in a name and call somebody instead of using those damn digits or having to "search" a contacts list. Any recommendations?
Btw how can I find the current partition table? I remember that a had a look at it and might have fumbled with the numbers....

What Rom are you using now?

Here is a quick way to see how the phone is partitioned.... miuiandroid.com/community/threads/tutorial-for-cmtd-partitions-and-market-fix.5984/ No ideas for a ROM, I'm on CDMA which doesn't have many options. Sorry can't post a link yet

Partition space can be seen from recovery or from Titanium backup. If you need a sense-like dialer, install Exdialer. Its free.

If you need Oxygen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835221
If You need CM7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1561843
Install either of them with cm7r2 partition table and you wont need a SD-ext.

Thnx I'll root it and will have a look with titanium then. Thnx for the tip on that dialer! I almost gave up looking for it. Might install it with oxygen to keep it all fast, small and simple

I shouldn't post before having coffee, completely forgot about Titanium.

use TWRP recovery. from there, when you go to RESTORE, you can choose to restore only DATA or BOOT or SYSTEM.... you wipe everything, flash your desired rom, then go to recovery (be sure to backup your old rom first) and from there you go to restore - data. done!

Is there a way to do that with CWM? Or with ROM manager or another software instead of me having to download and install TWRP? What happens if I flash twrp while I already have cwm? Will I end up with two recoveries? Or how will that work?

[Q] Phone Storage is near Full, but wait...

Hi, I searched the forum and didn't seem to find much on this, only on "fake notifications" of low space when there is space.
My problem is a little different, my phone reports almost nothing being on it, but my available space is only 1.32 Gb out of 12 available.
When adding up the things stored in it though, it gets only to about 5 Gb (see print screen). Where is the rest of this stuff coming from? How can I clean it safely?
I am running Frosty JB v7 currently, on stock li7 kernel. And i have barely any apps installed.
My guess is the files from apps I installed prior to flashing Frosty JB are still there somewhere, even though i did a factory reset. (i had a few big games like Shadowgun, nova 3, Riptide GP, and a few more, lots of smaller games too. If this is the case, how can I remove them safely? )

Guys, i'm sorry about bumping my own post like this, but please, can anyone help?

First off, do you have any items in your recycle bin from your internal storage? If so, empty your recycle bin and check your storage. Secondly, check inside your internal storage for your CWM or TWRP folder. Check to see how many backups you have located in those folders, because twrp and cwm wipes wont delete nandroid backups. Do a factory wipe from stock and you should be good.

Did you wipe system before installing your current rom?

I think mattedwards2686 has your ansewer, nandroid backups.

No. Nandroid backups would be under miscellaneous. I just checked.

Best option is superwipe. I am using frosty and had the same issue - it helped. Other options discussed here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004089

I had the exact same issue on my G2X. Wiping everything including system fixed it. Make a backup of your apps and stick them on your pc for safe keeping. Wipe/format everything. Install your favorite rom and reinstall your apps with titanium backup.

Backup Question

Hey,
How can I backup my phone settings, the apps(and their data) I have? and restore those apps and settings including their placement on the home screens.
The reason is I am using CM10 and I want to switch to AOKP to test it, and I don't want to download all my apps again and define the phone again.
there is a backup and restore option with CWM will this help me?
thank you.

Yes, a Nandroid backup (what you see in CWM) does exactly what you need.
It creates an image of the entire system (OS, system and user apps + data).
In case you're having issues with your new ROM, or simply don't like it, just restore your backup from within CWM.

so I can do a backup in CWM, then flush AOPK rom (instead of my CM10 ROM), then restore from backup on CWM.
And I will have all my apps and settings on the AOPK rom?

wait, I misread your question I think...
You are running CM10 now, you only want to install AOKP and restore all of your apps, right?
If so, then no ... a Nandroid will be of no use to you.
Use the Titanium Backup backup app from the market instead.
That'll backup all of you apps + data on your internal SD.
Once you have AOKP installed, first app you download from the market is Titanium Backup and then restore the apps and data from the backup you made while still in CM10.
By the way, do yourself a favor and buy the pro version. It can batch restore apps & data instead of having to do it one at a time
As for your phone settings (google account, wifi networks and stuff) that cannot be backed up as far as I can tell.
