But thanks though dawg, good looking, I'm glad I'm not the only one looking out for my ****. And as for the do some drugs or something fun comment idk man I might have to state grow up a little and do what you do but don't advertise as its not legal yet, son.. What are you one of those I'm so cool 21 year olds who announces ha ha I'm so drunk, and make stupid posts from the bar because I can't handle my liquor, lol... I used to date stupid girls like you, do sit around and giggle incessantly too once your drunk and then in the morning claim omg what did I do last night because "you were too drunk to be responsible"...

OK so I see alot of posts asking "how do I get my apps back after a flash?". Well here is a little something to get you all your apps and data back. For those who don't know all you need is cwm and a backup made before you flash. I'm assuming you already know how to get into and navigate through CWM. But if not( here is a link to get cwm, follow the op's instructions to install. All credit for cwm on sgs4g goes to krylon360. And to navigate cwm use the volume keys on the side of the phone to move up and down the list and the power button to select, always take care to select the right options in cwm before you ever confirm anything. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1099374

SO LETS PROCEED.

1. Make a backup before you flash your rom.

2. Flash the rom and let it reboot and sit for about 10 to 15 minutes(so it can load your cache and dalvick cache)

3. Now that you have your new rom lets get those apps back. Reboot into recovery and reinstall packages to enter CWM.

A. Once in CWM navigate to "backup and restore" and then select "Advanced restore"

B. Once in advanced restore it will ask you to choose a backup to restore. So choose the backup you made prior to the flash or the most recent.

C. Now it will ask you what you would like to restore. Choose "data" and confirm let it do its thing and presto all your apps and data should be restored upon rebooting(fix permissions before rebooting)

(Fix permissions) To do this in CWM navigate to "Advanced" and confirm, in the next menu at the bottom select "fix permissions" and confirm. It will take a few seconds to do this.

There you go just reboot and enjoy. Also you can use titanium backup. I just find this to be so much easier.

this guide is great for backing up. definitely makes flashing roms painless.

i have one question though. i notice an error that says "no sd-ext found. Skipping backup of ed-ext". how do I fix this? i think its because i dont have a partition on my sd card, but im not sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fideli.:
If you don't have a ext partition on your SD card then it won't back it up.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
yea, was just making sure because i see it whenever i clear my cache too. thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] johnnyh64:
I have a problem with the original statement without at least posting the links to the solutions. Step #1 is to get CWM working with a recovery in order to ANYTHING related to the OP's post. Here is the scary long link to be able to do that: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1099374 If you want to know what that thread is doing is it's helping you to get into a CWM recovery which is Clockwork Mod Recovery and will allow you to 'flash' new roms, backup your phone and other things.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
Well, to be fair, if you were restoring your data with this method, you would have already HAD to install and USE CWM to backup your rom and flash a new one in the first place.

So if you are ready to recover your data, you've been using CWM for at least 2 different procedures already, which would have been explained in other posts about backing up and flashing your ROM.

btw, your link didn't work?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
Yea when I try to go edit it it freezes the app.

Edit: op updated link to cwm fixed.:)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Aldreth:
Wanted to kind of get some answers to curious things I've been unable to solve and make discussion about whether the OP may require updating.

So, I use CWM to flash back and forth between available released builds on a somewhat frequent basis. When I'm not mixing a major build version in the swap, I usually am able to move back and forth while retaining all applications and their saved settings so long as the chosen ROM doesn't wipe /data. I also use TitaniumBackup with some regularity just to get a reasonable capture of the ROM library to avoid re-downloading, et al in the case of an unexpected or unintentional /data wipe.

However, one thing I continue to lose with each ROM wipe is the added accounts to my Accounts & Sync system app. This being said, I have tried restoring using Titanium Backup System Data without success. also. My assumption is that the account data is also stored in Android_Secure. However, this seems to appear otherwise in that with ROM swaps using CWM, I often retain Lockscreen Patterns and other data stored there also.. So I know I am wrong about something. Can anyone fill me in?

Is this an isolated issue, user error, an unavailable feature, or something else?

Also, with ROM Manager clearly lacking real support for the SGS4G, has anyone used the backup/restore features in ROM Toolbox, Super Manager, Absolute System Tools, etc? Is there a reliable app-based alternative for those who are less comfortable in CWM, Odin, etc?

Hopefully I can finally get the answer to one of my most irritating peeves, and I'm not the only one wondering. :)

Thanks for any assistance or insight.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jasoncallahan:
Great post - I've been doing this a much harder way. Looking forward to my next flash now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 1range:
Yes, works nicely. The only thing is that I lost some of the updates/included apps within the ROM I flashed. I wiped phone again-reflashed desired ROM, then went to the market download Titanium back-up (previously installed prior to intial wipe) then chose apps to restore. All is Well.

system restore?

is it possible to restore the system with cwm? when i try to restore the system settings it says failed to unmount sytem... any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Did you try to unmount the system in the mounts section of cwm? Not sure if it will help but worth a shot.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
There is was an issue with gingerbread cwm not being able to mount the system. If you want to restore your system you need to ensure the proper files are on your SD card then proceed to flash Bali kernel, restore system, flash desired GB kernel.

partition ext

Wow, amazing guide man! Thank you! But i've a question...what if i have all my apps installed on a partition? ( i'm using s2e and i've moved everything to the partition. only the cache download is on internal memory). in this case i suppose i have to reboot my new rom ( after a backup), to configure s2e again, then i must go to recovery and restore sd ext. Right? or i only have to restore data? What have i To do??

thanks and sorry for my english! :D

EDIT: I TRIED AND IN MY CASE ( ROM WITH PARTITION) YOU HAVE TO: flash the new rom, configure it ( script or sd to move everything to the partition), go into recovery and restore only the sdext...then fix permission and reboot...thank you again for the guide!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] touji:
is there a chance to extract data from cwm backup like contacts, sms, notes/memos, calendar without actually restore them back to a working phone?

because my phone always stuck on samsung logo after cwm data restore (i only restore important data without the system), the first problem is the phone suddenly hang on samsung logo, so i did rooting and backup, afterwards flash stock firmware and its alive again so i restore data, and it began hang on startup logo again, the firmware is 4.0.4.

if i do backup on 4.0.4 can i restore data back on 4.1.2? thanks for answering my noobs questions but i think a lot of us here have the same problem, and sadly we never do backup do desperately need the data inside.. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
In general, system data can't be blindly restored from one version of the OS to another. In some cases, specific items can be, but you really need to know what you're doing. On the other hand, user app data can generally be restored from one version to a later version of the OS or the app.

Contacts and calendar in recent versions of Android are "sync only" kinds of things. There isn't a "local contacts" option as soon as you log into Google the first time. These should "come down" when you log in a newly flashed ROM.

Titanium Backup Pro (and perhaps the free version) can extract single app's data from a "nandroid" backup. With recovery itself, it is an all-or-nothing kind of thing.

TiB Pro can also save things like your SMS/MMS content and call logs in a format that can regenerate them on a new OS. As far as I know, it needs to have that backup made on a running phone.

If you're skilled with sqlite, you can get the data from the databases, but that won't do you much good in getting them back into a running phone again.

What are you trying to accomplish? What version was the backup made with? You might be able to flash a clean version of the ROM with that OS version (preferably the one you were running), then restore the data and have a running phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] touji:
as i stated before in the earlier post, it was 4.0.4 after battery pull suddenly it just hang on samsung logo, i did rooting process, and flashed cwm recovery, i did custom backup (only choose data without the system), i flashed the phone with 4.0.4, it is now working again after factory reset, i root + cwm, and did custom restore from previous cwm backup and the phone starts to hang on samsung logo again after reboot, and i really need the notes/memos, contacts and sms inside :(... that is what i'm trying to accomplish

thank for replying
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Sounds like something in the /data partition is bad.

I'd suggest trying Titanium Backup to see if you can restore from your "nandroid" backup bit-by-bit. Assuming you're going from a 4.0.4 backup to the same 4.0.4 system, it should work pretty well. You may need the "Pro" version, but reliable backup software is generally a good investment.

(I have no financial interest in the people that sell Titanium backup. I just find it works very well for me.)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] champ1919:
The pro version let's you run a batch where the free version will require you to hit "yes" for each app you are restoring.

I couldn't seem to flash my wimax keys, but having looked around if you're using CWM to flash it won't do radios. Supposedly gotta use amon recovery.

There seems to be WiMAX connectivity issues when flashing a custom ROM. Were there any problems prior to flashing ie. after turning s-off and rooting the phone? I'd like to try overclocking my phone, but I don't wanna lose my WiMAX access. Any advice would be great. Cheers.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] {ParanoiA}:
B4 u flash anything, just make a backup of your wimax partition, NOT just the keys. Then if anything gets borked, you will be safe. Once the keys are gone, they are not recoverable except if you have a backup partition. Just Google search backing up the ENTIRE partition.
