how do you guys flashing different ROMs to try out without the need to re-install apps that we need?

Can we use Titanium to backup, then after flash a new ROM, restore from that?

but with titanium, we have to backup each app at a time, cannot select multiple apps, and click backup (not too sure if paid version can do this)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DJBhardwaj:
That is a build.prop issue, just replace the build.prop of that from the one in beta #3

Remember to set back the permissions as they were; reboot and it will install now. (This works, i have alone done this about 10 times) :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
If any changes are made to any apps, you will get weird behavior :( look at the changeling before flash...

[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
Thanks for the responses.

@mihir287, not sure if I remember correctly, but I think I remember someone saying that there may be things left behind from the previous rom if you don't wipe /system, which leads me to assume that flashing a rom only overwrites files with the same name (leaving some other files untouched). I also remember lekhwani posting a set of instructions where he restored the data from his previous rom. Restoring the data afterwards shouldn't be any different than leaving the data there right?

@vlt96, what do you mean by apps? Are you talking about system apps or libs? I was thinking about only wiping /boot and /system, so I guess that wouldn't be a problem.

I will probably give this a shot to see whether it works or not :)

It becomes a pretty long process when your rom requires that you make a clean wipe before you flash it. This would make things a lot easier if this works.

But in the meantime, has anyone tried this before (or can shed some more light on this topic)?

[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
I always wipe boot and system before flashing roms, since I realized many leftovers stay there if not...

Dalvik cache has some connections with framework and internal memory and system apps... if any of those have a change you should wipe dalvik;)

Also, wiping it is also good for some weird bugs, like when an app force stops unusually or some glitches (like the status bar not responding bug...-it happens if a notification is swiped too fast after boot)

[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
The updater script of all roms has the format system command. And since boot is an .img file and the script uses a write_raw_image command, so i suppose the boot is also completely overwritten. But then I don't know why sometimes wiping boot and system is required. However, not all updater scripts contain the format userdata command. I have installed a rom without wiping userdata once, and most of the apps worked perfectly. But some did give FCs.

I would like to test it on the emulator before flashing my rom. I alreday go throufh the forum and tried methods given in them, and also tried to google it, but no success.

Actually, as i have found it the main problem is that the rom created using the article doen't have any file called "system.img" while all the articles posted on forum realted to running a custom rom in emulator asks to copy "system.img" file. But the rom doesn't have it. So, I dont know know what to do... As i am new to this.

Help with BACKside IHO and adb error

Sorry if I am in the wrong place or if I posted the wrong, It was the only way I could find to post

Basicly my VM670 has frozen or stoped at the Backside IHO startup logo.

I was trying to fix a problem i was having and that is a long story and i am trying to think of a way to get right to the point. I had ICSandwich 2.3.7 final installed but after going through the settings of it and making it peform the way I want it to and install several apps I rebooted into rom managers bootloader so I could install the google.zip. All was going great when done I rebooted and as it was booting the android recovery systemor something like that started formating the cache, data and more the rebooted back into the ICS and all the stuff I had created and setup was gone as if I had never done anything. I did the same thing again and rebooted again and the andriod recovery did the same thing again.

At this point I installed rom manager again and it's recovery system and powered down then back up pressing home,vol down then power and got to the rom manager recovery. Then I ereased the cache and the devl cache then installed Backside IHO and

gapps-gb-20110325-signed then xionia recovery I did that twice. Then rebooted I don't remember if I tried to get xionia to come up or not the but at some time I let it boot into backside and now I am stuck at the backside boot logo and can't get into xionia recovery or anything else. I tried to use adb shell but itcome back with -ecex'/system/bin/sh' faild no such file or directory.

LG P500 bricked ????

Hi all , I had strange and common problem,,

Why it is strange , only becos it is happening to me for the first time,,

Why it common, after a lot of search I understood that is a common problem!!!!!

Problem: My LG P500 stuck in a android boot loop, meaning it stops at android logo

How this is happened: when I try to flash the Ice Cream Sandwich ICS 4.0

Before that my LG P500 I s rooted one and running on unofficial Roms from Cyanogenmod 7.0.. and also Clockworkmod recovery is also installed.

After I flashed the rom whis I download t from

http://androidpure.com/install-ice-cream-sandwich-ics-4-lg-p500/

the gsm network is not recognized.Same problem is also given in the same article so I decided to change the baseband for my phone as explained in

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1149530

But no change in the signal detection even after I changed my base band to P500-v10E-baseband.7z using LGMDP (no complications what so ever in doing that)

Later I decided to go to my official ginger bread update (Because somehow I erased my clockworkmod recovery and naturally I don’t have Rom manager also) using the KDZ updater . The update is V20E_00.kdz No problems this time also I successfully done that Now the problem came , the android logo boot loop

One thing I want to mention here is when I switch on the phone after lg logo there is another logo by Virgin mobile it looked very strange for me , after that aldroid logo.

Then I googled the problem in XDA , and I decided to go for installing the clockworkmod recovery again using LGMDP as explained in:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1318750

And after that I used the key combinations (Home+Vol down+power ) for getting into custom recovery , here is the same problem , instead of going to recovery console it is booting normally and same android logo loop……….

Any thing I missed ,, I hope no, if any doubts ask me (I have tried each and every possible step to over come this problem before posting this and infact I have registered in the forum only to solve this , this is my first post, and hope this shoud be last post (Atleast my last thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Newbie alert

LG Optimus One P500 is my 1st android phone. So I'm pretty new to all the technical stuff related to it.

I have been using the phone for quite some time now. I am an app freak & have more than 100 apps installed on my phone.

But the problem is that even after using App 2 SD & clearing the caches my phone is running very

low internal memory

& it shows up notification very frequently & sometimes when it gets very low it stops receiving messages too. I have uninstalled most of the apps I don't need but the ones in there now are really essential.

Will rooting solve my problem

?

If yes is there a perfect manual (with every little detailed explanation for noob like me)to root my phone without bricking it (ofcourse after following the steps correctly)?
