Hello everybody,
I'm thinking about to speed up my phone again as it was in the past. Those 4.2 Features are pretty poor compared to the slowness they bringing into our phone.
I was very satisfied with 4.1.2 it was like made for gnex only and not for hardwaremonster like n4.
So my question:
Is there any possibility to flash stock rom 4.1.2 and get all the data from 4.2.2 so i dont have to set up everything from scratch?
Maybe an app that sync with a cloud or something else like full backup of the settings and appsettings and so on.
And after that the system should not push the notification about new updates.
thanks

You could flash the stock image from Google.
Titanium backup could be used to backup your user data

You could try Carbon. I haven't used it myself so I can't comment on it but if I remember correctly it does not require root.

I always do nandroid backup first....no root needed, just custom recovery. Then flashing new factory image (full wipe) , copying everything back to sdcard...and finally restoring backup.
I would say root for the purposes of baking up to cloud with tibu, then flash, root, restore, unroot if you want to.

I know this is sort of a noob question, but I just got the Nexus and I want to be sure before I lose all my stuff again.
1. When i signed into my account on the nexus, it started restoring all my apps from my Incredible.
2. I got my Verizon Nexus tonight, set up everything how I liked it... then I decided to root.
What should I have done before I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it to save all of my apps and settings?
After rooting I returned to the phone and found that everything had been wiped, and nothing restored... Why?
If i wait until the Jellybean OTA update, and apply it, will I lose everything again?
This is frustrating as hell, and I want to know how to keep everthing between flashes.
I know you can nandroid.. but thats of no use to me cause I want to keep the new rom...
Do i really have to use Titanium backup?
Titanium backup is a secure and simple way to backup, imo.
I dont wanna buy the pro version.... any other ways?
I use mybackup pro it works perfectly.

sorry for the "noobness"
I have a nexus gsm which i rooted with toolkit, and installed jellybean 4.1.1 v3 by bigxie.
I also flashed the franco kernel (latest nightly build)
questions:
a) What do i lose when flashing a new rom......all my apps/data etc....?
b) i did a backups of my apps using rom toolbox pro, and saved them to dropbox. if i flash a new rom..do i just redownload rom toolbox and restore from dropbox?
c) I did a NANDROID......do i just save the folder to my PC just in case, or dropbox for that matter, or is there something else i need to do to transfer it to my pc? do i just use a NANDROID if i messup something and want to restore back to my current rom etc..?
d)everything seems very fast....although i find a delay in opening google now, something that should be instant.....any suggestions?
e) lastly...when i am in an elevator and lose reception...it can take anywhere form 10 seconds to several minutes before i get reception back when i go outside....what can i do to improve this? can i just flash a radio...if so any recomendations?
thanks for your help to any of these answers !!

Well first of all, I personally don't recommend using toolkit, because it creates more chance of bricking your phone.
A) you have two choices when flashing a new ROM, flashing without factory reset and flashing with reset. Personally recommend resetting when switching ROM. If you do reset, you will lose apps and data, but not files from sd card
B) I don't know how toolkit does, but I believe so. I recommend using titanium backup if you want a guaranteed app and data backup
C) you can copy the backup to the computer just in case. If you need up our want to go back, you can just restore it, but this wouldn't restore apps and data too (I don't think)
D) from my experience, Google now isn't very instant... I wouldn't worry if I were you
E) I think that's normal

Hi everyone!
I currently have the Jellybean build that was leaked for the Bell SGH-I747m a couple weeks ago, and am noticing a lot of bugs and problems that were not in ICS.
Would it be possible to do a titanium backup now on the phone (I am rooted) and then flash with odin ICS stock, then re-root, then restore the titanium backup, all without losing any apps or games and their saves?
I know upgrading with TitBak is no problem but I am really not sure about downgrading.
Thanks in advance!

Should work fine. Do not restore any system data.

to be safe I recommend to flash an interesting ics rom and keep your root or get a cm10 mod

Thanks for your quick reply,
So would that mean that I lose all settings and configurations I made to the device? Or will I keep some of the settings like ringtones and default apps, etc....? And would I just click backup all user apps instead of backup all userapps+sys data?

Not really into cm10 after trying it on my Nexus7, by interesting ics rom, you mean roms like cm10 and others?

Make sure you are rooted or TB won't work.
Yes you will lose all settings, but they aren't too hard to set back up.
Edit: Yes to the last question also. Backup all user apps. No sys data.

Ok did the Odin flash, but it said RESET instead of PASS, and now its stuck on the "SAMSUNG" screen that glows brighter and softer... Going to try re-downloading stock ROM. Hope this works!
Turns out that the only problem was that I had to go into recovery after the Odin finished flashing, then reset cache and restore to factory.
Then it worked!
Thanks!

Good deal. Thanks button is beside quote button
I want to make a clean installation of Android 4.2 from the published images So I need to backup my game data, in the past I had an old Need for speed version that tried to backup and restore using Titanium Backup (my N7 is rooted of curse) but I did not restored my game progress, So I'm not sure if this is going to be the same case with this "Most Wanted" version
Does anybody have tried this? is there some specific folder that needs to be backed up to to keep game progress safe?
I did a clean install of a stock rooted 4.2 via TWRP. Backed up via TiBu and all is well. In fact it runs much better on 4.2

Hey everyone,
So like many users on this forum, I was a moron and decided to try out the 4.3 update which upgraded my baseband to I747UCUEMJB. Realizing my mistake and not particularly happy with 4.3, I remembered I had made a nandroid backup from 4.1.1 on an extSD. Everything went smoothly as usual when I restored from the Nandroid backup.
My problem now is prior to making the backup, I tinkered with the rom using TiBu to eliminate bloatware. Now my camera isn't working and I can't Odin back to a stock 4.1.1 build because the baseband's don't match.
Am I screwed or can someone provide me an alternative? I have the 4.3 update still which I can flash so if that's my alternative that's what I'll have to do.
Did you delete the apps with tibu or just freeze them? I personally never delete bloat I only freeze it. In case I have problems like yours.
If you deleted them I would flash a 4.3 rom to get back to where you have a useable phone.

Thank you for your response. It confirmed what I already kind of knew but I figured I'd ask in case someone knew something I didn't.
