You may refer to below thread on how to restore your phone to stock, im still a newbie, so this is all i can advice, or you may wait for other replies that would be much easier to do..

Hey,
I tried to change my lcd density but i noticed some games were not working anymore, so i changed it back to the standard density of 240.
But now the games still won't work. All i see is a white screen.
I thougt reinstalling the ROM would fix this problem,
but what is the easiest way to install a new rom without having to install all my apps and settings again.?
I don't understand anything of this backup tutorials
atm i'm running a custom ROM, so i have root and s-off.

If you flash the rom without doing a wipe ect all your apps will still be there..
So just boot into recovery and flash the rom....this wont delete your apps.
No point doing a backup this time as things are messed up..
When you have a working rom..boot into recovery and selected back up...this will make a complete back up of your phone....every single thing...from your rom, kernel, apps, widgets, wallpaper...everything....This is a good thing to do if you get into problems as you have done.......then you can just boot into recovery and select restore and everything is back to the way it was.....hope that helps.
Thanks for the info!
So, i flashed a new ROM but the 2 games that didn't work before the flash are still not working
The games are: Abduction! 2 and Gem Miner: Dig Deeper
And i know the LCD Density messed things up, but now i can't revert it
Seems your only solution would be a full wipe followed by flashing a ROM.

Then you have no choice but to wipe/factory reset, wipe dalvik, battery stats all through clockwork and re flash the rom....
Before you do that though you could backup your apps using titanium babckup from the market...leave the broken ones of course

I take it that you have gone into application manager, cleared the apps data, uninstalled and then reinstalled the apps. If not then I would try this first.
Ok... so this is the case:
I have backupped all the apps+data and android settings with titanium backup
(I also made a full nandroid backup to be sure)
Then i did a full wipe and installed a new rom, gem miner was working fine again.
But after restoring the other apps and settings with titanium backup gem miner didn't work anymore.
So.. 1 of the 293 files I backupped and restored causes the games to fail.. But i have no idea what file i should restore to the original one.
I searched for 'lcd' and 'screen' in the list but didn't find anything.
Somebody knows what file i have to restore from the original rom?
I installed myn's rom and love it! In doing so I wanted to play around since this is my first ROM I have installed. I installed a transparent titlebar, battery mod, and gingerbread menus from his list of optional items.
I then found f(red)'s gingerbread experience modifications that are listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866158
Now i am kinda stuck.. Now in the menus i have white buttons with white text in them.. so in short, i cant see anything
How can i correct this? Can i somehow load Myn's themeing back and then lay what i want on top of it to get what i want? I just dont want to have to reload the rom and wipe my phone.. it is just a pain in the butt to do so.
so i am not thinking... right now i am doing a clockwork backup and will use ROM manager to apply the same rom on top of itself. Then will apply the gingerbread experience items one by one afterwards.
Did you do any backups before you started appliying mods? Best to do a restore then boot into recovery and flash the mod. if you flash over too much it tends to get like too many layers paint on a wall. Not sure if this help at all but ill look into it a bit more for you

That would have been too smart
Fortunately i have gotten my themeing back by just reapplying the rom but i just lost root it seems. I cannot use setcpu, wifi tethering, nor titanium backup.. but i have no clue why.
It is like i lost root. How can i get this back?
Do you have the SuperUser icon? Try clearing its cache. Did you try to reinstall SetCPU, does it pop up the permissions box?
i downloaded and installed an app called root checker which verified that i somehow did not have root anymore... crazy.
I just did a full wipe (cache and all) and reloaded the ROM and all is well again. no clue why it did this or how... what can i say.. it is what it is I guess.
As many of us use this amazing app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=en
Now it allows you to make an Update.zip with apps and Data!!! Only on the pro version.
I am so glad I support them as this a feature I have been waiting for since day 1.
I mean think about it you flash a new Rom boot up so its all nicely installed then boot back to CWM and install all your apps in 1 nice step. Done all up to date. I would even recommend before flashing make a new update.zip file so after flashing use that.
Here is a review on this:
http://liliputing.com/2012/11/titan...hable-zip-with-all-of-your-apps.html#comments
All I have to say is it is a nice feature and wanted to share with everyone. I made an update.zip but have not flashed so have not tested it yet. But I am itching to flash something.

You had the ability for Titanium Backup itself but not for other apps and data. Gave it a try and it failed on install via CWM. Guess your right that it does not work for all devices I wonder why. Now How do I contact these guys and ask for help on this? No phone number no email.
thieirs also another app i found called apps2zip that does wat ur asking for but doesnt work with our recovery also, but funny thing it works on my backflip
Hey all, how the heck is everyone. All the crazy chit going on today it almost seems weird talking about normal stuff lol, but I am not going to let politicians, isis, or end of the world get me down lol.... So I rooted my phone since I own it now and am on no contract. But, I kinda need guidance. So here is what I have done. Rooted, I have super user installed, rom manager installed with flashed recovery clockworkmod 6.0.3.8, root checker installed, sdcard manager installed, busybox installed, titanium backup installed.
Ok, so i am unsure where to go and what to do from here. The clockwork did not install an app to click on so i am unsure how to use it or what it is doing. Titanium backup shows all the apps and not sure do i select them all somehow to do a backup or do i even need them. Rom manager said it would do rom backup but that it would be in a secret system folder and not accessible unless you used adb, not sure what that even is, lol.
I know I am at a point where I need to backup the current rom... not sure I need to backup all the crazy apps i have on here... i mean u can always reinstall them... I rooted to give me more control and hopefully get rid of some things dont need, ok, which are those and how do i get rid of them, and also put on a kewl nice rom that looks great and adds allot to the phone, which rom would that be... trying to find screen shots of the roms....
Anyway, I appreciate any help... I know i am newbie but hope i have at least started off ok...
thank you all ahead of time......

So, i installed kingroot on my lg g2 and i figured i should try to get rid of some bloatware. I didnt make a backup of any apps. So i uninstalled a couple apps that that looked safe to delete and anyways it all works fine, until i restart my phone. Im getting like 3 error messages system UI is not working and a couple other apps, i cant navigate anywhere. The settings on the boot screen and i can navigate through them. I tried to flash the stock rom but since i have the sprint version and it has a different file type. All lg flash programs use kdz. I dont know how to reinstall the built in apps. Help, i know i was stupid for doing this and its all ny fault but can someone help me get it back to its original state. Thanks!
