[Q] May I install CM7 over MIUI?

Hi there!
I hope i'm not opening a repeated thread. I've search ( not correctly i think ) but i couldn't find any significant answer.
I've recently installed MIUI on my defy...
Now i want to install cyanogenmod and i'd like to know whether i can flash over miui without losing any data nor app.
Or should i have to downgrade to Froyo, lose ( surely i'll do a backup ) all my data, root my phone, install SndInit Defy and flash cm7?
Thus, what i have to do?
Thanks,
regards.

Well.. it won't brick your phone if you try to install the rom just by applying and wiping cache/dalvik only. I wouldn't recommend it, but you could give it a try. Do a backup first.
But despite that, I don't see that making a backup of the important apps and data via Titanium and applying that afterwards is so much work.

You see, the problem is that once i try to restore all apps from Titanium, it always ask the permission ( i.e. if i want to install the app or not )! It doesn't do a silent-install.
It's such a boring thing tapping "Install" for over 60 times :\.
Am i wrong or is there a way to do a silent restore of all backups?

Wipe data and cache from Custom Recovery and then flash CM7 without rebooting after wiping.

Yes, from there!
I choose to restore all lost apps + data, he always ask me if i want to install any single app...

I've read that only Titanium Backup Pro has this feature... I'm disappointed :\.

i wanted to know this too.
i am on cm7 and updating it is a cake.... i wanted to know if i can do the same interchangeably with cMIUI.
since both the roms are still developing. trying each and restoring backup is a pain.
any advice?

I have used both and I am currently coming back to CM7.
MIUI is somewhat frustrating for me, constant forceclose on the most basic apps and every update requires some kind of retinkering to get it back to work correctly (like reinstalling gapps and Ti).
Also, i dont like the stock MIUI apps such as dialer, messenger and contacts. I know that I can replace them but its a custom ROM and it think it should be optimal out of the box. I can deal with replacing one but at least three are too many for me.
I know this wasnt supposed to be a review but i wouldn't bother replacing CM7 with MIUI.

easiest way to restore apps

From thunderbolt ? Without tibu and root? Market didnt sync

bump?.............

The Market doesn't sync your apps from one phone to another. You need to have selected the option to back up the info on your phone and have restore on.
You can find this in the Back-up and Reset menu

thanks but I have both phones set to backup and auto restore....so you're saying your apps installed on your nexus from your old phone?

Yes almost all apps installed except for a few (Flash 11, Adobe Air, Adobe Reader). Most likely because they weren't compatible.

Adobe Flash 11 is supporting ICS. Came out yesterday.

Yeah I can't seem to get titanium backup or mybackup pro to restore any of my apps, I'm rooted with custom rom verizon lte version

So... this whole Google back-up thing; It restores all my (compatible) apps AND the data associated with them? ...
So If I flash a new rom... can/should I rely on this cloud backup thing to get my apps/data back, and is there advantage to using Titanium instead (other than not having to download the files)

I remember JBQ from Google talking about this on twitter a couple weeks ago. The option to let apps restore from the market with data is available for every dev to put in their apps, but very few actually use it.
I personally wouldn't rely on the market to restore the apps with data. For most apps, it won't restore data, just simply re-download the app fresh.

Why can't you use tibu? Put the tibu folder on your galaxy nexus and proceed to use tibu.. worked for me

My GN automatically downloaded all my apps when I first signed in. Obviously this didn't include any previous settings. If this failed you could always try installing app brain on your old phone,syncing and then doing the same on your GN.

What martonikaj says is true. I've read it as well. The devs of apps just aren't that into it for some reason. It only restores the apps, not the settings (at least from the third party applications).

[Q] No Gmail sync, No Google Talk access (Darkside Evolution 3 v5)

Hi, this is my first non-stock ROM so I'm hoping it's a simple fix. Using Darkside Evolution 3 v5 on my Galaxy SII.
My Gmail is not syncing and I can't get Google Talk to work, it says I'm logged in but I'm not "green" and nobody on my friends list is listed as online.
Deleted and re-added my Google account in "Accounts and Sync" but that didn't help. I'm using Google 2-Step Authentication, does that have anything to do with it?
Thanks for any help!

Did you restore Gmail and Gtalk from a backup after you installed the ROM? If so, I'd recommend just un-installing the app and re-installing it from the play store. Lots of times restored apps with data cause problems when going from GB to ICS, even if you didn't go from gb to ics at this point I'd just try to uninstall/reinstall.. Then check account sync settings and make sure they are checked off.

Yes I restored Gmail and Talk from Titanium Backup, went from GB to ICS. I just deleted Gmail and re-installed and it's still not auto syncing, it only syncs when I manually go in and refresh it. Also I didn't delete Talk because I don't see Talk as downloaded app so I'm not sure where to delete it.

I've had this problem randomly with titanium backup too. It's the restore that'd causing your problem, I'd bet. Did the phone sync before you restored with titanium?
I never found a solution, just had to manually restore everything.

Ive had this problem in the past. You have to delete your google account and then put it back.

Yes everything was fine before I rooted and went to the Darkside, I'll bet you're right. What's the most efficient way to do this, just wipe and re-install the ROM?

Well for me the rom works fine until I restore with titanium. I just downloaded all my apps again and let Google restore what it could.
So yeah I would just wipe and re flash the radio and the rom, then not restore using titanium. Alternatively you could just revert back to the stock rom you backed up before flashing darkside.
Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be a comon problem of more heavy hitters would have figured out a real solution.

Yeah I'm sure it's my fault and not the rom, just didn't know where I screwed up. I never flashed a radio, is that odd? I like how Darkside performs (battery and speed) so I want to try to keep it, we'll see.

Because all the pertinent data is kept on their servers, i don't back up gmail or voice with titanium, i download them from the play store if not included in the ROM. I have had to go back into the "accounts & sync" to manually turn on the syncing, but other than that no issues. Darkside cache wipe is your friend as well, amazing the "glitches" it fixes.

Ok I'll try a clean wipe and flash with no backup. The original instructions I read didn't suggest flashing a radio, but the official instructions say to do so, which radio should I flash since there are two options?

I think I'm on the uvle1 radio. As i understand it, you can use either one. Try each to see if one works better for you.

backup all with titanium. then you try simply instal beta 8 over 7. When it will not good, then wipe all, install 8 and restore apps from backup.

titanium backup is the best solution for this..
you can also backup apps with App Backup & Restore... it will backup the apps and restore without downloading the apps again

Titanium Backup is the way to go. I fully recommend paying for the pro version if you plan on flashing a lot.
Just search the Play Store for it.
It also has the ability to backup your phone log, messages, and wifi hotspots, which is increasingly handy.
You also have the ability to back up to GDrive and DropBox.
Just don't restore system apps or data, as you don't want to restore older versions into a new ROM.

Market Updater

Hello, I just recently installed a custom ROM (Darkside Evolution 3) on a Galaxy SII T989. I noticed it did not come with the Market Updater app (com.android.vendor.apk) and wanted to know why something like this would not be included, and can I reinstall it. I have a backup from ROM Toolbox of this app, so I can restore it.
Will missing this app not allow me to update either Google Play or my apps automatically?
Thanks.

It should, although you might have a bad download a reflash would probably fix it. A restore would as well I'd think.

Thanks for replying. I actually tried flashing twice, with a full wipe in-between, and still no Market Updater app. I would have posted this question in the actual developer thread for that specific ROM, but seeing as though I don't have ten posts yet, I am not allowed.

Thanks
