[Galaxy S I9000 General] coldflid:
I'm about to cook again, and i'm somehow lost in what to include to somehow satisfy as many people as possible. I've stopped cooking for nearly one month, and i guess there are many new things out there. I'm going to take a look at the forums, but i think it's much more accurate if i ask people for their own opinion.

So here are the questions (i know there are many questions, so just answer some if you want, thanks) :

Which tweaks do you want to have pre-installed in the rom?

What kernel do you prefer?

What apps do you think are essential?

Any system apps you'd like to get rid of?

What theme would you prefer (must be the theme of an android phone, since i'm not good at drawing, only porting themes from other phones)? Also include please if you would like 9 ls, extended power menu, overscroll glow etc... Thanks

Any ported apps from other phones like sgs ii, sns that you'd like pre-installed?

Any other things?

What launcher?

So it's basically a query to find out what most users want in the rom.

There'll be addon packs also.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 General] malcho:
Regarding kernels my favourites are semaphore and talon.

TW3 works better than TW4.

I like redmanner stock theme.

Juwe ram script.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jobiza:
This guy said already all the important things. :) I took GingerReal 7.1.2 and i've been happy with it. Kernel mainly controls smoothness and quickness, but scripts and other tweak **** does nice things too. :D

I would have taken Talon 0.4.1 but for me it wasn't as much undervoltable as 0.3.1 or semaphore and 0.3.1 was for JVP, for now i will stick with semaphore 1.3.1

And as what comes to launcher, take spb shell 3d. You won't regret it, i didn't have much money at the time but 10€ for the launcher was well worth it, i haven't used ANY other launcher after 3 months.

And i have paid for launcherpro plus, but haven't even tried it after i bought spb shell 3d
[Galaxy S I9000 General] leroys:
I too like redmaners theme.i also like hardcores kernal.if you were to include a launcher I would use go ex launcher imho its the best free one, no way I would spend 10€ for spb total rip off, yes it looks good but 10€ ?for a launcher, lmfao.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hagridden5:
Have used every Rom out there for galaxy s. I think presently gingerreal by redmaner stands out. It scores highly on all key fundamental requirements like speed coupled with stability and a very impressive battery life to backup a powerful phone.

I don't have the lagfix on and the speed of my phone actually surprises me.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] hagridden5:
Ah! Forgot to mention you might want to use adw launcher. Once customized properly it beats all others hands down. But the key is to understand its customizations.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jobiza:
Good for you.

Who would have paid 500€ for a samsung galaxy S when you can get with 20€ normal cheap but good for phone calling phone? Exact same reason why you would get spb shell 3d! But, it's your choice...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] biso9110:
Theme: Samsung Galaxy s2

Kernel: anything stable-less ram and less wireless problems

Overglow scroll is a must and has to be in the same color

most feature i want: Stability, less FCs and restarts
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darckreign1984:
lets see

- instant access to phone call

- instant access to phone book

- instant access call and endcall

- instant scroll to menu

- file explorer instant without lag

- and battery life (i cant call more than 4-5 hours with full signal edge, and the screen of, i dont belive we need 1000mhz to do this task)

- camera a litle faster (nokia n8 record with 12mbps)

- office its a must

and it must run better than xxjvq
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] str0ppy:
With updates of ROMs being released so quickly, and not wanting to update rather than flash the full ROM, I'm going to start backing up using Titanium Backup.

I am quite happy to backup absolutely everything, but am cautious about restoring things like system settings. Ideally what I would like is to be able to restore all the apps that I had before, their data, and possibly the layout of my homescreens.

How would I do this?

Is there anything I should probably not restore that could mess things up?

Thanks a lot for any replies.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
You can backup all apps and data and then restore them later, without worrying about side-effects. This backup will include your launcher and therefore screen layouts, but will not include widgets. You'll need to add them again manually after you restore (it's a permission thing - nothing other that your is allowed to put widgets on your home screens).

System settings is a different story. If you're going from one ROM to another, or changing FW, there could be conflicts and it could cause problems. I tend to always have a backup and only restore system settings if I need to factory reset for some reason.

If you haven't already, I'd strongly recommend paying for the pro version, as it can become very boring having to click a couple of buttons for every app you want to restore. The pro version does all apps without the need for interaction.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XD):
The easiest way is this: go into titanium backup and press the menu bitten on your phone. Then press batch. Then look for something that says backup all user apps. Click the bitten next to that that says run. Then check 'backup user apps + data' and then uncheck any apps you don't want backed up, and then click run on the bottom. This will backup all your downloaded apps and data, like saved games, etc. You can also do the same things for system apps, but I can't guarantee that they will all work. Hope this helps :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XD):
If you click batch all your apps are selected so you can backup all your apps with 1 clicks, even with the unpaid version. However with the paid version you can set up scheduled backups so it will backup automatically every week, or whenever you set it to
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
I was talking about restoring, not backing up. Have you ever restored 200 apps with the unpaid version? It's VERY boring :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] str0ppy:
Thanks XD) but I'm talking more about the restore aspect.

@johncmolyneux

Thanks for your help. So I'm thinking the process will be along the lines of:

backup/restore > batch > backup all user apps

then

batch > restore missing apps with data > selecting app+ data

I will almost certainly buy the pro version of this app, as I'll be using it a lot.

One thing I am particularly anal about is restoring my vast collection of texts going back about 3 years - will restoring the GoSMS app and its data include all these. Probably obvious but I thought I'd ask just to make sure.

Also, I keep getting a message saying that I should check usb debugging as it might cause problems. What's that all about?

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
That's the process mate - you've got it.

Titanium Backup requires that you have USB debugging enabled, which you get to via Settings, Applications, Development.

As for backing up and restoring text messages, I simply could not recommend any higher an application called SMS Backup+ (free in the Market). It creates a folder in your Gmail account and automatically uploads all text messages to that folder. You can do a restore whenever you like. It's seamless and works perfectly. If you want to keep SMS then look no further! I've gone over easily 30 ROM flashes with it, and now a new phone, and have never lost a single message.

It also means, of course, that you can access you SMS from any browser, which is nice :) (Can't send from gmail though.)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] str0ppy:
Ok, last question. Can I just have usb debugging enabled at the time that I backup and at the time that I restore. I prefer to not have it checked generally - lots of annoying pop up messages on my PC at work etc...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
Long time since I've clicked "thanks" instead of quote! Have a thanks ;)

Yes mate - you can just turn it on and off for Titanium.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] str0ppy:
Top man. Thanks again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
No problem mate. Enjoy :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] str0ppy:
Ok so one last question. I understand that Titanium Backup will save the data for my third party launcher, so will preserver all the homescreen arrangments. But if I use TouchWiz, would that count as a system and therefore not preserved if I only backed up and restored user apps and data?

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
You might be able to backup and restore the data for touchwizz, not tried.

As far as system data, if the item is green in titanium is ok to restore, if its red, beware.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
AFAIK, TouchWiz is just another launcher, so you should be okay to restore, but pay attention to the item colour, as mentioned by veyka.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] str0ppy:
Ok thanks a lot. Man of many questions at the moment, quite new to Android.

So last one...

When I set up the OS from scratch after a flash, when I get the option to either backup/restore to my Google account, what actually gets backed up then?

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
I'm not sure about this one as I've seen different things happen. Sometimes, I've had apps installed again after a new ROM flash, but other times that hasn't happened. I've also had inconsistent results with restoring wifi settings. The only thing I generally rely on Google to store is my contacts. Other than that, I use Titanium for everything, just to be sure.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] str0ppy:
Ok, thanks.

Try clicking the "Project -> Clean... -> Select your project -> Click OK" and see if that fixes the problem.
[Android Software Development] MrPadie:
You don't seem to have your resources imported. For example, in my programs, I have "com.package.R" imported. This class links your resources to your java code, and hence it won't find your ID's if you haven't imported it.

Try clean your project (Eclipse is project -> clean, not sure about the others), and see if it then nags you to import it. Otherwise, try manually importing it - it's found under the "gen" folder.

MrP.
[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
try adding "android:" in front of id
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
I think that's the answer. Its supposed to be android:id="@+id/someid"

That and then do a clean build to get R.java to update

[Android Software Development] Cynicalsomething:
Yes this is correct. Didn't even phase me haha
[Android Software Development] killersnowman:
Not true. screen1 and screen2 are in the same package. As long as the package is defined in each class you don't have to import any classes from that package. And the call to screen2.class is a static call

Heh, I bought the same ones, before I got the phone, just to have a screen protector from day 1, since Boxwave doesn't have theirs yet. I gotta say, I was expecting cheapos but I was pleasantly surprised by those. They were pretty good quality.

If screen scratches are that big of a concern people, why WOULDN'T you put a screen protector on? A quality screen protector takes nothing away from the screen quality and saves you the dread of seeing scratches.
