Hi,
Anyone can tell me, what do you do before installing a new custom ROM so you can get back all your settings and apps (apps with all its settings/data)?
I have a Galaxy Nexus (GSM), fastbook unlocked, stock 4.0.4.
Last time, when I fastboot unlocked my GNex, and flashed the 4.0.4 factory image, I re-setting my phone manually, and installed all apps manually.
What do you do usually, to minimize all those re-setting and apps re-installation?
Thanks.

I unlocked, rooted and am now running the android revolution HD rom with a theme and updated boot animation.
This might be a silly question but will I need to restore a nandroid of stock rom to accept a Google update??

yes, you would need to restore. if you running custom ROM, your updates depend on developer not Google.
Just restore to stock rooted? I don't have to inroot and relock do I?

Most of it has to do with the recovery. I believe the OTA's need the stock recovery and won't work with CWM.
Hi all,
As a fellow XDA-er told me to reflash my rom I'm looking for it. I'm running stock JB yakju image from google. Is this flashable? If not, where can I get one? And will this affect OTA notifications?
You maybe able to find a cwd flashable stock ROM. The ones directly from Google need adb and familiarity with fastboot. Do you have a unlocked bootloader?

I already got experience with converting from yakjuxw to yakju so i am familiar with adb and fastboot. Is there a way to flash it without losing my data apps settings etc.?

Backup using titanium backup, copy the TitaniumBackup folder on your sdcard to your PC, then flash stock, drag it back and restore.

Will this also include the in app data? And settings?

Backup using Titanium. Follow the yakju convert guide, and but skip flashing the userdata partition and recovery partition. Then boot into CWM and wipe data and cache. Then, you once you reboot, restore your titanium backup.

Isn't that what Google restores when you setup your device? And should i first let Google restore our should i skip that and let titanium restore first? Sorry I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to backups
That never worked for me.
I always fire up Titanium Backups after factory resetting. Side note, do backup everything before you flash your phone.

Download titanium back up. Back up all app data. Make sure your on the latest clockwork mod or twrp. Wipe data factory reset flash mmuzzy 4.2.2 rom let apps restore from play store then restore app data from titanium back up and profit.

You can, but will she even notice if its updated? I'd fastboot flash all except userdata.img, in your case http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
so i can get the system img and boot img from 4.2.2 and flash it on her Gnex and itll work?

I think Titanium is your best bet... After I flash a rom I restore apps and data (not system apps) before I even sign into my Google accounts, it's never failed, I've have backups that I've used since Titanium came out, it's never failed me and I've never had any issues with it...

THIS!
Trust me ANY other custom ROM is usually ALOT better than pure stock, she will appreciate it mor as an update!
Any custom rom will have advantages over plain stock.
I also have a similar question. Is there any way to stay on stock unrooted 4.1.1 and get the 4.2 lock screen?

I think that would take some serious tomfoolery, a lot of that stuff is in the framework I believe, I could be wrong though...

Just recently flashed my GN with the latest CM11(1/20), but my GN is not rooted. I thought that all CM rom is rooted when installed (SU is installed).
Am I wrong?
Or, how can I root my phone?

You need to go into developer options to enable root or flash supersu.

I will try it.:thumbup:

It doesn't work. Also nexus root toolkit on PC doesn't work. It's still not clear if my phone is rooted or not.
May have to wait until the CM11(4.4.2) stable release.
If anyone has a solution, please let me know.

I dont have any NANDROID backup, is it safe to flash 4.4.4 factory images on my Nexus without wipe knowing that it came from 5.0.1?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes45. This is one of the main reasons to buy a Nexus.
Edit: create a backup of your apps and data using Titanium Backup now so you can restore them after you flash 4.4.4.
Wouldn't that create errors due to the different runtimes?

No because your device is wiped upon flashing 4.4.4.
The only way to flash it is to wipe. If you don't wipe, it'll give errors.
Oh thanks for the wipe. The apps installed while in Lollipop that were backed up using TBP will be able to use in KK wont give errors?
