If you look in the android development sub forum there is a guide written by Setherio to downgrade from the latest gingerbread roms to froyo to root.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Disc0nectoR:
Hello guys,

I bought SGS1 a while ago and changed some roms it was annoying losing my apps then my friend told me to use titanium backup it was more annyong cuz i had to backup one program at a time

then i heard about Nandroid Backup , so my question is:

if i change ROM lets say from MIUI to Darky or something and i used Nandroid Backup, all my apps will be there after i restore?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhu1:
Your phone will shift back exactly where it was when you nandroid backed up ! And any progress from their will be lost !
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Disc0nectoR:
So if I change rom from miui to brand new one and then i restore it will go back to miui? or it will just put my apps from miui on the brand new rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ali_khalid5518:
Its backup whole rom with apps...tge best possible solution is u have to use titanium backup pro it make a complete backup of apps....i thinkn u r using some free version pf titanium thats why i makes problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upichie:
Titanium Backup offers the option to backup all your apps at the same time, in case you didn't know. This may be only for the paid version though, I'm not sure. But considering it's the most useful app I've come across, it's definitely worth the money.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Actually if you try to restore a nandroid backup after switching to cm7/miui, your phone simply wont work as the file systems are completely different.

To go back to a Samsung ROM from miui you would need to flash a stock Samsung ROM via odin, and THEN restore the nandroid.

Anyway, beyond that remember the following...

Titanium backs up apps and app data, use after changing ROMs to regain apps.

Nandroid takes a snapshot of the entire ROM, use in case of problems to repair your phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashtrix:
Correctly said rschenck!!

Basically if you are on CM7 and want to give a try to MIUI just make a NANDROID backup for full ROM backup and try MIUI ,if you don't like it then flash back CM7 first and then restore the NANDROID backup!!

when it comes to Titaniuim backup , it backs up your app data,freezes them and the apps you want (only in pro version) on any ROM and restore back after flashing any other ROM, if you are on free version then you must select manually which apps to backup that's a pain in the ass :( !!

Use these according to your requirements....and dont ever restore one rom's nandroid with another as the Kernels,Filesystems,Modems,Bootloaders are entirely different and that could mess up your phone :eek: !!

i would prefer NANDROID over Titanuim :cool: !!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silver-Hawk:
Thanks guys for this wonderful explanation...just one more query:

I'm currently using samsung Stock rom, CF root kernel, with lagfix(ext4), and some "framework" tweaks..and am thinking of trying CyanogenMod. So if i do a Nandroid backup now, and later decide to come back from cyanogenmod, can i just use Odin to get to ANY Stock rom so that the partitions, file systems, modem etc get back to a similar old format, OR do i need this exact Stock rom version, Kernel, lagfix etc before i can restore the nandroid?

is "kernel" included in a Nandroid backup? also, are Types of filesystems included (or "Lagfix" has to be repeated)?

[Motorola Droid Bionic] BBLV:
I assume everyone else is having the same issue with the inexcusably low voltage on the audio line output. When I plug it into my car's aux input and max both the phone's media volume and the car's volume it barely gets loud enough to listen to at a stop without the engine on.

This is just another mistake Motorola made on this phone... Anyone have any tricks or tips to increase the output level?? If not, this phone is going back (my bluetooth won't auto connect either; forces me to reset the phone's bluetooth and reenter the passcode each time I want it to pair and connect to my car. My Droid Pro connected automatically with no issue... Wtf).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Calla969:
My audio is a little low in the car, but I don't have to turn the volume in the car up much to make up for it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ddv2005:
My Motorola bionic has same audio output level as iPhone 3GS. It is low but it same as iPhone.

I've been reading about the Voodoo Control app. Has anyone heard anything about development on this for the Bionic?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] qsg001:
I have the same low audio problem whether in the car or in the house connected to speakers through the standard dock. The Bluetooth however, works fine for me and pairs with no extra input required when I get in the car.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zr0ko0l:
when i plug my Bionic into my truck, it seems to have to much bass, and sounds a bit distorted; i'm assuming because of the bass.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] snowblind64:
It is slightly lower than my old Droid 2 was but still loud enough that turning the volume up all the way on my car stereo would be unbearably loud.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:
Ok, so on the most current Miui build Wifi works and voice calling isn't quite there yet. How would I go about setting something like this up? Do I need to get a specific app?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] styles420:
More accurately, it is called Voice Over Internet Protocol. Goole voice is a specific service that uses the protocol, similar to the issue of Kleenex being a specific brand of tissue paper.

I like to clear up confusion before it gets too far - we Americans have redefined too many words out of ignorance and fallacious assumptions as it is ;-)

@John - I haven't looked at VoiP solutions for Android in several months, but GrooveIP was a great app to use Google Voice for this purpose. At the time that I discovered it myself, the official Google Voice app didn't support voice calls on Android, so the only free way I had found involved an intermediary internet number (called a DID number, using a SIP account... it gets convoluted and confusing too damn fast, and wasn't very stable... plus, all of the free SIP providers I could find seemed to shut down around the end of June, for some reason).

What are you trying to accomplish? The only use that readily comes to my mind is to avoid using limited anytime minutes by using unlimited data instead - I rooted a friend's phone for this purpose, because his girlfriend always tore through all of their minutes in the first week of the month, then *****ed at him when she was unable to call him (obviously, the *****ing came later that evening, lol) I should explain that they're on a prepaid provider that doesn't do any free mobile to mobile minutes, etc. Just re read you4r last post more closely, answering my own question :-)

And I mistyped one part - google voice didn't support outbound calls, lol - one word makes all the difference. Actually, I think the issue was that outbound calls used minutes you have to purchase... it wasn't the ideal situation for my friend's budget...

Anyway, my friend also had an Evo that he was unable to flash to Virgin, so I initially tested on that using just a wifi connection. It works great, and actually save my ass one night when a bad flash rendered my Epic unusable, and I couldn't get to my laptop for another 10 hours. I found a McDonald's or Starbucks with the free hotspot service whenever I needed to make or receive a call ;)

EDIT: I am doubting the accuracy of my statements... but I am certain that GrooveIP does not need an active mobile network and does not eat up minutes, because Virgin doesn't do free incoming calls (at least not on their lowest Android plan). So I may have some details mixed up, but GrooveIP will work.

I should mention that GrooveIP was a $4 app when I set my friend up, no trial version to be found either
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCorleone:
I guess I was trying to find a way to make calls using the most current Miui build. It only works on Wifi and when I make or receive a call you can't hear anything so I was hoping I could ring a roundabout way while they are working on it. Thanks for the thorough response.
[Acer Iconia A500] Sprinkster:
okay heres the deal i have a epic touch 4g and an acer iconia tablet.. i want to tether my 3g/ 4g connection from my epic touch 4g to my iconia tablet..

i have the wifi tethering app installed on my epic touch 4g. it works as i tested it with my laptop and it connects, i believe the connection is 802.11n in (adhoc) meaning theres the 3 computer pyramid thing in windows when i connect to it.. i can use it to surf my laptop...

BUT its not showing up on my tablet under wifi connections... so im trying to figure out what i need to do to get it working. so i can use the 4g from my phone on my tablet.

I tried to physically move the clockworkmod folder over and reboot into recovery and still couldnt. is there a way to fix this, possibly using root explorer to rename sdcard to emmt and sdcard ext to just sdcard? do you think that will brick the device

I just want to make sure there are no traces of custom roms or the root on the phone for when i send it back in.

Any help anyone can give? or ways to check if anything would still show?

[General Questions and Answers] CallMeVentus:
1st , check for root:

-Use Terminal Emulator and type in:

su

-If it denies permission you have unrooted it .

2nd, check for recovery:

-Turn off your phone

-Use the key combinations to get into recovery (I'm not so sure about your key combinations)

-If you don't see Clockworkmod , you are at stock recovery

3rd , flash to original firmware:

-Flash the firmware back to the Android version you used when you first received the phone

-This will lessen suspicions .

I thought it was a 1 off but it started happening at work too. The only differenceis that is WAS working fine at work, now won't pick it up. And now I have the same issue at my parents.

Can't be sleep policy as it picks up other wireless networks fine.

I was just living with this issue until it lost my Home Wifi! Now thats gone I have to turn Hotspot on my phone, which I shouldn't have to do.
