Another newbie here....

I know the usual answer to this question is to search around this site and learn before we try these things. However, if someone could direct me to some general guide for new people for initial backing up I'd really appreciate it. It's really hard to keep all the jargon straight with all these great answers. So many assumptions are made with your abbreviated descriptions, just want clarification. This is maybe the silliest of questions and apparently the answer is obvious to most people on here because I can't find the answer.

Question:

Is there is a mostly bulletproof way of saving an image of my current D3 so that if I brick it then I can fully recover where I am now (or just back to factory once I use titanium backup)? Is that what 'safestrap' or clockwork recovery does?

I want to know if I can backup my current un-rooted state and restore it with very little risk. After that then I will just learn from poking around on here. What I THINK I want to do is this (if someone is still reading this far I will forever be in your debt if you let me know if I'm missing a step).

1. Fully backup unrooted phone in current state.

2. One-click root (I've been tempted to just do that but am afraid of doing any such thing until backup is done)

3. Buy titanium backup to always be able to restore my apps and data independent of the system files.

4. Try to debloat, see if that gets it to snappy enough...if not...

5. Probably install liberty rom...if this disables things like my corporate exchange sync then do the walk of shame back to step 1....

I really want to play with this thing, I'm willing to deal with the glitches and learn what you know....just need to know if there's a point of no return!
[Motorola Droid 3] slayer621:
First, there really is no way to back up your phone without rooting it in the first place. If you do mess up badly, like bricking it, you can always use a program called RSD (found in the Droid 3 Android Development section) to restore the stock ROM.

If you aren't 100%, a ROM is basically the OS of your phone. Think of it as different versions of Linux (which is exactly what it is).

Second, as stated earlier, by simply rooting your phone, it's hard to mess it up. Rooting merely gives your phone additional permissions. Unless you start deleting stuff in Titanium backup, you are fine.

Third, One Click Root is very idiot proof. But I will run you through a very brief guide: Download and install the driver for your respective computer's OS here and download the latest version of Pete's One Click Root. http://www.psouza4.com/droid3/ Then, enable USB debugging by going under settings-> Applications-> Development, and checking the box. Assuming you have the correct drivers installed on your computer, you should plug your phone in and allow it to recognize the device and such. After it's all done, open up Pete's One Click Root and simply click Root My Phone. Let it do it's thing, then you are done.

Fourth, I never use Titanium Backup. To make a perfect back up of your device, download Rom Manager from the app marketplace. Then download the droid 3 bootstrap at http://goo.gl/b4b6L visit that link on your phone and make sure you have "Unknown Sources" checked under application settings on your phone. Open up Rom manager and Click the top option to get the correct version of ClockworkMod Recovery for your phone. Once that is done, open up the bootstrap application you just installed and click the top option (bootstrap recovery) wait for it to say Success! then click the second option. Your phone will reboot. Using the volume buttons on the side of your phone as up and down and the power button to select options, scroll down to Backup and Restore on CWM menu that popped up (it's blue). Select Backup. Note: Make sure your battery is at least 75%. Allow it to do it's thing, it will take a while. When it is done, click Reboot Now. You now have a perfect backup of your current system.

Fifth, Debloating your phone is kind of risky, at least in my opinion. A safer option is to install an app called Script Manager and download and run the script found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1238472 Instead of removing your bloat, it simply renames it and prevents it from starting up. It also comes with an option to reverse the changes if you want bloat back.

Finally, I would recommend following this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1278056 to installing Steel Droid V3. Steel Droid is a simple Rom that doesn't require you to wipe all your data and is still pretty neat. I would run the script I mentioned earlier AFTER flashing to Steel Droid though.

Looking back, that is a **** load of text. I typed it all for you so I hope you get some use out of it :D

Have fun customizing your phone!
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
It may sound a little mean but go start reading threads. If someone tells you step by step, great you've done it but do you have any idea what you've done. All the info is in these threads. Its ridiculous how much I've learned reading every thread I can since I joined in august. When you don't understand what it is you're doing, that's when you goof **** up and post help me threads
[Motorola Droid 3] Zoibster:
Thanks. You guys are awesome!
[Motorola Droid 3] nathanb131:
Slayer621 - a thousand thanks for the baby steps! Best walkthrough I've seen and exactly what I needed to know!
[Motorola Droid 3] slayer621:
No problem! Just make sure you are careful. Don't do anything without checking on these forums for the possible outcomes. Deleting a seemingly useless file could make your phone a paper weight!

Could you explain the 3G optimisation a bit more?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] J.Y.Daddy:
3G performance is different by telecommunications company or area(coverage).

Choice on yours. :D

Good luck with Razr!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dariostella92:
downloaded! it seems great!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xalainm:

Please help med fix?

I have tried changing back to default and to other settings as well. I have also tried to clear the phone apps data and several reboots.

What about custom display density? Is it possible?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] J.Y.Daddy:
Of course, it's possible. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sedlasedla:
Now using 160 throw Diplay Density. But it needs to be set again after reboot > bit uncomfortable
[Motorola Droid RAZR] teegunn:
I have applied the "one click optimizer" to my RAZR but would like to go back to stock settings, however I don't see an option to go back to stock. How does one revert back to stock settings? Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] J.Y.Daddy:
There are two ways to remove.

The first is to remove Motomizer applications.

Second, "/ system / etc / MOFScripts" is to delete the directory.

Good luck!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] teegunn:
Thanks! I'll try the second option.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] reaperzero:
about the 3g optimizer, could we see what exactly is options 1 to 5 actually sets? is it the baseband or is it just a list of APN's that are loaded into the phone?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] J.Y.Daddy:
Please select an option and touch OK button, you can see the values. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] reaperzero:
ah i see, thanks for the reply. im using your app on my defy as well :D getting great performance on both my razr and defy.... sadly my xt720 has a cracked screen..... its not a paper weight at home

also just incase anyone wants to know what those values mean

[Motorola Droid RAZR] sevenup30:
sorry for the noob question but,

even with the values, i still don't know wich one to choose to really optimize my 3G, how can i know?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sevenup30:
Ok thanks, do you know where i can find those information? i made few research but can't find it out.

EDIT::

Ok, i found information for SFR in FRANCE, the better config seems to be:

ro.ril.hsxpa=2 – HSDPA

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=14

ro.ril.hsupa.category=6

but why do you propose

ro.ril.hsxpa=5 , isn't just 0-1-2 ??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] reaperzero:
you know you can go to /system/build.prop and edit the lines yourself?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sevenup30:
yes i know, but i just want to know why he set it to 5, because i don't know what it mean, nothing more.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] J.Y.Daddy:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] J.Y.Daddy:
Of course, it's not a difficult task.

But people always make mistakes. :D

In order to minimize mistakes Motomizer exist. ;)

It is also the purpose of Motomizer.

Good luck with Razr!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] zeidof:
Can u add a tool to deodex stock rom?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] J.Y.Daddy:
Did not research, but may be it's harder.

Deodex work is so many requires development environment.

Android SDK, Cygwin, zip,libs....

So, it seems to impossible.

Or years of research and development seems to take some time. :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] seanmcd72:
Anyone using this app on their Razr? What's the best benefit? What's the second best benefit? :D

[Motorola Droid RAZR] reaperzero:
hi wanted to ask something about the recovery that you can install via motomizer.

how can i remove it? or at the very least disable CWM on boot?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] deadmanjokes:
have same experience.. :(

after using this app looks like my bulid prop being messed up, can't revert to original state..

(even after removing motomizer app, n already check on /system/etc too)

and the worse part is.... it make me can't do OTA update!!!

some error when update even with manual .zip flash through recovery

please help us to revert to original build.prop and default.prop for 65.1.21.xt910ASIAretail.en.03?

p.s: I already see daywalker thread but only got "xt910PSHAsiaRetail.en.03" and look bit different from mine ("xt910AsiaRetail.en.03") :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
Point taken. Back up your build.prop before doing anything. Can anyone post the stock files you need & would replacing them with originals help your situation?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] reaperzero:
if you did some searching around you would find that replacing the files with the unmodded build.prop will work. i had the same problem and its fixed now. search engine is your friend

--

also a word of caution, this app can seriously screw with your phones wifi radio capabilities :/ use it for everything else but dont do the one touch optimization.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Hi, J.Y.Daddy!

+1

Thanks for sharing with us this great app. I have one question about it: have you implemented the kernell hack from kholk already? This should be nice.

Pedro Torres
[Motorola Droid RAZR] deadmanjokes:
i thought this motomizer automatically do backup just like other script do.. :(

thx for suggest,

already seach for original "xt910.asiaretail" but only found for "xt910PSHasiaretail" before post here.. and it don't work :(

give up after too much mess with stock system,

flashing new (different from my stock) fastboot now....

p.s: j.y.daddy please write some warning to backup stock rom before do one touch optimization... it will help others a lot :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] superstargoddess:
I love this app! The dev is so nice too!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] heavyhms:
This app is provided with a "restore to default" function?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lunzi88:
Hi, I need some help here.

I downloaded th additional font pack and used one of the new font. however now my phone is stuck in a reboot loop.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] J.Y.Daddy:
If using the stock ginger blur:

1. in to the cwm recovery, wipe dalvik-cache and cache.

2. if still boot-loop, factory reset in cwm recovery.

3. if still boot-loop, restore your backup or install stock rom in cwm recovery.

If using the CM9(CyanogenMod 9):

Re-install CM9. (CM9 not compatible yet)

Good luck!

One click optimization

The one click optimization worked fine for me. My RAZR MAXX seems somewhat faster, but it might just be my imagination. We'll see how it really effects the phone in time. Also, WIFI is working fine. I hope that the un-optimize tool works though. OTA is coming soon...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rockaholic112:
Remove?

If I removed the one-click optimization, how would I know if it worked?

i was on t-mobile, then updated to this one, lost root, got root back with http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1707431 this method.

when i'm trying to "One touch" it says that superuser crashed (OK or Report), and it doesnt matter which button to use, it goes reboot. after that if i'm trying to apply One Touch again, motomizer says that its already applied.

i tryed to disable one touch optimizer, it crushes superuser too:)

so i wanted to know it works or no:)

it was working on t-mobile ICS without any crashes.

for sure i got motomizer pro, bought it on gplay:)

I have my gallery setup to sync stuff with Google Photos. See the screenshot. But it does not appear to sync anything, when I login to my Google account and check Photos, I end up at a Google+ page which has a section 'Photos from my phone', but this has to do with the instant upload feature of Google+ (which I don't use).

Am I overlooking something here? Is Gallery syncing successfully for anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LucasR93:
Same here, the gallery doesn't sync photos taken by the camera :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Ok. Reported an issue at code.google.com.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ves:
Noticed the same thing. Only with me the photo albums on Google+ are showing on my phone while I have every option to show this disabled
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Ok according to a reply on my issue there the Gallery sync option only syncs Picasa web albums to your phone. For uploading photos to Google, the 'instant upload' setting of Google+ should be used. This puts uploaded photos in a non-public Picasa web album.

Sounds fair enough, but uploaded photo's are resized and compressed. Not exactly a proper backup in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p4nts:
You need to enable auto-sync to see the check boxes.

http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/mobile/android-devices/B0dq0Wd--6Q
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
Ok,

First off Picasa is Google+ Photos. If you have anything in Picasa Web Albums it will be in your Google+ Photos under albums. Google+ Photos will eventually replace Picasa

1. You can not send photos to Picasa direct frorm the gallery anymore, most likely a Google+ thing. You can use the Picasa tool in the market do do this if you need to.

For me I have instant upload enabled on Google+, so any picture I snap on my camera gets uploaded to Google+ Photos. It is by default private so its only viewable to me.

I use the Picasa desktop tool to keep my pictures on my computer in sync with Google+ Photos. If I add any albums to my pictures folder it syncs into Google+ Photos as a private album only viewable to me. You can set different options with the tool to either upload the original picture or a compressed picture suitable for web viewing. The cool thing is is that it does not effect my 100GB of space I have with Google.

With this setup I really don't need to be uploading to many albums direct to Picasa from my phone unless someone sends me a photo through email or something. Even if that is the case I have the Picasa tool which works really well with Androids sharing features. I'm sure in the next release Google might add the abillity for the gallery to be able to view Pictures from Google Drive or Drop Box...that would really be sweet.
