Not sure what you mean about backup/restore. Many launchers include a backup option. If you are worried about a launcher loosing its settings when you switch to a different one, then don't. As long as you don't go into applications and clear the launcher's data it should retain everything fine. Otherwise just use your favorite backup app (MyBackup Root, Titanium, etc).

As for easily switching them, checkout Home Switcher.

Edit:

Nvm - I get it now. No, none that I know of - they are all different as far as source goes, so I'm guessing you're out of luck.

[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
You can, if you were able to find the actual apk's you could throw them in the backup folder if you ever use sdxappremover, then you could always restore from there, but these files go into system not data, but I havnt seen this being a problem since they all still get updated from what I've seen...

If I'm reading what you're asking correctly you want to be able to back up your GoLauncher settings for example and then switch those settings to your ADW launcher? That wouldnt work because several things for the launchers are specific to them. Go themes for example that will not work on ADW or LP icons that wont work with Zeam etc... But check out CrazyHome. You can theme 3 different 5 screen desktops basically all different.
[Epic 4G General] ugothakd:
I could care less about the settings, I just want to be able to have all the icons and widgets. Lets say I have a music widget and a facebook icon in adw (main launcher) I want to be able to transfer the widget and shortcut to a different launcher (say go launcher) without doing it by hand. Having 7 home screens full of icons and widgets is not easy to switch over to a different launcher.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
the only possible way that I can think of (if you regularly switch between launchers) is to set one up, then switch to another, set it up, then switch.. lather rinse, repeat..

once set up, it will remain the same as long as it's installed on your phone.

There's no way to (easily) save a configuration setup/style/whatever and have it transfer seamlessly from one launcher to another that I'm aware of.
[Epic 4G General] dr_gibberish:
Yep, I get it and no it cant be done. (And I doubt someone ever could do it in the future for the reasons MikeyLee mentioned.) I totally agree it would be nice though...
[Epic 4G General] ugothakd:
Ok, thanks for all the help. I was going to try to check out some different launchers but I can't switch all the home screens by hand.

Read the sticky in General. It has vids and all the informatiomn you need.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
Best thing I can tell you, before you get flamed for that post, is read. Also, you need to be more specific with your issue. If you want someone to hand hold you through the process, your probably not going to find the help you are looking for. Reading and searching are your friends. I am not being mean in anyway. People have gotten flamed in the past for a post like that. First, you didn't say if you've already searched. Second, you mention very little detail of your problem. Third, you don't mention which rooting method you are using and where you are in the process. Just on the last point alone, I think you are trying to have someone walk you through the process. In which case, you don't need to root if you won't take the time to read, read, and read again, and try the process yourself. Not trying to jump on ya, just from your post it seems like you are not even trying to help yourself first. If you have a genuine issue, please, give us more detail to make an effort to help you.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
So... The phone is useless as it is? Why would you buy a useless phone?

Because you didnt discover it was useless until it was too late, like, after 31 days of having it?

Don't blame the phone for your inability to do what 90% of the people in these sections of XDA managed to do just fine.

Now, maybe you should go do a little reading.

Then, if, after you've made an honest attempt to figure it out using the plethora of resources at your disposal here, you still run into problems, and are willing to provide a little more insight into the nature of your specific problem, people might be a bit more willing to lend a hand.

Good luck! :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] oxlong27:
Man rooting an inspire is not that hard. You just need to follow directions. Read up on the root methods available watch the videos choose your preferred method read the tutorial and watch the video AGAIN then do it. 99% of the time it will work. I used the hack kit But ive heard bubbys works great too. My inspire was rooted 20 mins after I got it. But I read and watched the videos long before it arrived. It really isnt something you should just decide to do on a whim. You should really understand the process and what each individual step does before attempting.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BAleR:
Oh geeze, here we go, everyone here at xda is omnipitant, not everone knows every aspect of this site, if he/she doesnt know how to root why would you expect them to know where/how to search and what to read if they did, some people do deserve a break hes just frustrated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BAleR:
Hes right,

The main part of being successful with these devices is everything he said, you really shoud read,read,watch whatever it takes to be totally sure about the process. You must be very careful if its your first time, and at the same time, ive learned, you cant let it intimedate you, it will be much harder and that much easier to mess up. If you do all these things and are still not sure or dont feel right about doing it, find somone close to you that can.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Well, for one thing, if by "omnipitant" you mean *omnipotent*, then you probably *really* meant *omniscient*, so I understand what you meant. I think.

What I don't understand, however, is why you think that someone who doesn't know how to root shouldn't be expected to know how to search for information about rooting.

Perhaps you might better explain to me your logic?
[HTC Inspire 4G] BAleR:
Ok, your right. I should have been more direct.

By "omnipotent" i ment -all knowing.

My point is. People will never stop asking for help on this site, it will just never happen, nor will they ever stop being ignorant, ie. Not reading enough not following directions. I understand it gets old, but its one thing if hes new, its another if this is the 5th time hes been told. I just think you took the wrong approach at teaching him, there is such a thing as positive reinforcement, hes already frustrated, treating him like hes an idiot will get us all no where, well, most of us. We were all new at some point or another

Now, what does not seem even a tad bit logical to me is, getting offended over a damn cell phone
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Alright, now that I understand what you are saying a bit better, I agree, people won't ever stop asking for help, or being ignorant.

And as long as I have this phone and am otherwise able to, I won't ever stop helping people. . . but not if they post out of frustration, *expecting people here on XDA to be "omniscient"*, knowing exactly how to fix their problem with only the vaguest of details provided.

Posting when pissed is about as productive as blogging while drunk.

And, the op insulted my phone. NO ONE talks **** about my phone... ;) :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] BAleR:
Think of him as an infant, a new born. He doesnt know any better. I dont think he posted out of frustration, i think it is more of a cry for help.

but besides all that, hopefully we've all learned something today. I know I have.

For years i've thought i knew what "omnipotent" means lol! Learn somethin knew everyday.:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Carlrobling:
Scott has always been helpful to me. And I have always seen him helpful to others that have made the effort to learn and couldn't figure something out. There's a reason his thanks meter is at 52.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Carlrobling:
Sad thing is though if he searched he would have seen everyone else getting flamed for this exact same question and type of post. Then he would have known better and how to ask the question and seek help. And Scott I'm going to make a damn sticky on how to search. This they didn't know how to search and cant get past the clutter thing isn't an excuse.
[HTC Inspire 4G] spiritcrusher33:
coming from the droid incredible and hero before it.. the inspire is alittle more difficult to root. but if u say take 30 mins out of your day its not that bad.. just stay focused and read and go slow and you will be on your way..
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Thanks. Likewise....

My jaw hit the floor yesterday when I visited the browser version of the site and saw that 52. :p

Last time I checked it was like at 16 or something.

Using the XDA app really isolates a person, I guess. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
I get what your saying, but I still wouldn't let an infant try to root a phone.

That water damage indicator wouldn't look so good afterwards. :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
What he is saying is retarded. You did nothing wrong. noobs are expected to read. End of story. If they do not and post anyways, then they should be subject to the redicule that comes with such a blatently assinine posting. Baler is wrong to call anyone out... .. I have the feeling I would find a noobish post by him and the routing there of; If I dug through his postings. Least it would explain his stance. But alas, I care not. Scotts one of the most helpfull nice peeps here.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BAleR:
I wasnt saying he is a bad guy, or hes wrong, it just looked to me like he was jumping on the guy. Now you guys know him alot more than I do, I even think hes helped me with a few things, one or two of those thanks are prolly from me. but if everyone really feels this way, ill prolly stop defending noobs then, unless its worth the time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
It probably looked like I was jumping on the guy because I was. A little. Thin skins don't do well, here, though. :)

There's nothing wrong with defending someone, when appropriate, I've done it I think, maybe a total of 3 or 4 times, all cases where a user was unfairly blamed for something or was made to feel like they weren't a worthwhile contributor or called a name because they weren't able to answer someone's question to their satisfaction.

All I'm saying is that XDA is less noob-centric than other forums. That's not to say noobs shouldn't come here to learn...I lost my basic noobness here (and I say basic, 'cause I don't know half the **** some people here do) ... Just that there's an expectation to fulfill some prerequisite familiarization with one's device, and to be at least a little proficient in problem-solving on one's own before posting.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Thank you, sir.

And fear not, my "I get what you're saying" was not a concession. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] brd912:
Lol,your not a mod yet?

Anyways,as I've said before I agree on both ends. Here's where I think the OP really messed up.

First off,rooting the phone is the first step into the whole android hacking world,and if you can't get that part done,you surely have not searched,nor read nearly enough,if any

Here's where i side with the OP,these HTC phones are a little irritating to root,but like all other models,the problems you run into can be resolved with reading.

In the end,no matter the flaming,no matter who jumps on the knewbs,they will get there problem resolved because either they will get a hand out,actually read and search,or go to a forum where they baby you. In the end though,Scott has the best logic.

Ps:sorry for all the spacing,I've noticed when using the xda app my post looked clustered to hell and back,cheers everyone
[HTC Inspire 4G] BAleR:
The problem with every last detail of your "LOGIC" is the fact that not ONE word in the OP's post was DEMANDING. In fact he asked politely.

"If there is anyone out there can help me root my HTC inspire 4g. I tried everything and nothing is working. I just want to get rid of these useless apps and better battery life cause right now this phone is useless. Please help"

In fact, if you ask me he was quite polite about it, just frustrated.

I simply responded in an act of empathy, its a human emotion, its just a feeling. You do feel right?

I know what you think, his miss spelled words, poor grammar and lack of knowledge make you feel superior to him. You've seen it a 1000 times, You dont even give him a chance and write him off. The only thing that registered in your mind was his remark about his useless phone and got offended. Everything ells he said just dissappears

And if you think that I have soft skin you are barking up the wrong post my friend. Im not dumb, the words you said may not have been submissive but your actions were, untill your buddies jumped in. :D:D

Edit: In fact, now that I think about it. The fact that were all still arguing about this shows that none of us can follow directions, and in reality were all wrong.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
Who cares how he asked? Its information that's available. Not one person is here to "hold his hand". There are ebayers he can pay for that. If you want to be that person then put up a post and let ppl know to contact you so the rest of us don't have to placate him and now you..?

I feel for hungry children. Sometimes for the poor. But for some dude that just doesn't want to read? No. No, I don't feel at all. Unless you count my exasperation as pain.

Do you lick the walls of a lead painted house?

Wow? Really? Just wow. Man .....

It is not an argument. You would have to have a chance at being right or correct. Which you don't and are not, for it to be an argument. Oh and I fixed your spelling mistakes. Ahhh Superiority:p

Here is to hoping a mod will come and close this horrible, loathsome thread.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
I think you're the one with spelling issues, tbh. ;)

Actually, if anything, I was referring to the op, in regards to thin skins. I figured that was sort of obvious, but evidently not.

And believe me, if I was admitting error, or as you say, being "submissive," you would have known. . . I'm not afraid to say so directly.

Indicating that I understood what you were saying isn't the same as agreeing with it, but thanks anyway.
[HTC Inspire 4G] brd912:
Ridiculous......just ridiculous. This is the reason a simple search doesent reveal ****

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crashspeeder:
Ran into an interesting problem last night after installing MIUI MTD (based on JT's CM7 MTD). All was fine and dandy on JT's EXT4 CM7 Alphas but now Slacker is complaining that I don't have enough space (500MB minimum) to cache a station. My guess is this has either something to do with Slacker being unable to read the filesystem or the path it's trying to access has changed from one rom to the next (yes, I do have enough free space, both on my internal storage and my SDcard).

My money is on Slacker looking for the wrong path since every other app that accesses the filesystem seems to be working fine. That leaves me wondering where Slacker is trying to store the cache to (internal or SD card) and what path it's trying to get there with. If I could create a symlink from where it's trying to go to the new location I believe that would solve the problem.

I was going to try moving Slacker to my SDcard but it doesn't support app2sd so that went out the window. I've noticed a slacker directory on my SDcard with a cache directory, among other things, but it seems odd that it wouldn't be able to get to /mnt/sdcard/slacker/ or /sdcard/slacker/ so it can't be that simple.

I'm open to suggestions.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Time_Zone:
I see the same thing on MIUI for the captivate. Wish there was a solution.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakeupkeo:
Same thing on my captivate too, almost ready to revert to an older stock rooted rom and clear my partitioned card (or even unpartition it?) to try to fix this- I can't get the unlimited data plan so cached stations come in handy alot.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m_zet:
I would like to get to know the CPU governor settings with CM7 bootmenu settings in order to increase battery life. Maybe others too - hope so.

The below description I found in hrk post:

- powersave will always set the "min" and never change it

- performance will always set the "max" and never change it

- ondemand (usually the default) will raise the value by a step up when the cpu is used, and lower the value by a step down when the cpu is not (much) used.

- conservative is like ondemand but will be slower when changing frequencies

- interactive is (conceptually) like ondemand but will be quicker when changing frequencies.

- smartass is (conceptually) like interactive, but I haven't understood yet why it's so much smart and loved by users.

- userspace will do nothing at all, so don't choose it. I may hide it in a future release to avoid confusion

Anyone can add information about above modes in CM7 bootmenu?

So there are like those prefixs there:

con - this goes to conservative governor mode;

int - this one is for interactive governor;

ond - is for ondemand mode;

smt - is smartass governor mode.

But what about Clk1, Clk2, Clk3 and Vsel1, Vsel2, Vsel3 settings?

To which governor modes this Clk and Vsel settings apply?

Anyone can help/explain?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cslucian:
well.... Clk1, Clk2, Clk3 and Vsel1, Vsel2, Vsel3 basiclay apply to all.

Clk1, Clk2, Clk3 are the clock speeds that the proccesr will run when stepping up or down, the defaults with no overclock are 300,600,800.

Vsel1, Vsel2, Vsel3 are the voltages that the proccesor runs at when working at coresponding clock. tweaking these will make ur battery last loger.

for example

default clk3 is 800 at vsel 58

currenty i have clk 3 at 1000 with vsel3 52.

hope you have understand what i mean.

CM7 already comes with 1000/600/300 clock, but if you want to modify these settings or undervolt:

- Reboot and enter Bootmenu

- System -> Overclock

Remember that if you experience freezes, reboots and other problems OC/UV can be the cause. Try to disable in this situation.
