I've just gone through this process myself today. I purchased the My Backup Pro app and backed up my Apps and my Data to my SD card.

If you choose to use this App, do the following after downloading it:

Backup your data and your Apps to your SD card.

After flashing a new ROM, don't panic! :cool:

Log into your google account, go to the marketplace and download My Backup Pro again and open the App.

Press on restore and then restore your Data and your Apps.

The App also allows you to move Apps to AS card to free up internal phone storage space.
[Desire HD General] xbiggyl:
Congratz :)

If you have rooted your device, you can continue using My Backup Pro; especially if you have purchased the paid version.

However, if you only have the Time Trial version, you can download Titanium Backup (Free Version). I have been using TB (though Paid version) for a long time. I'm happy with it.

What ROM are you on?

I'm on stock 2.3.6

CM9 Alpha? CM9 Nightly ___? AOKP? OaT? Version?
[TouchPad General] -SGA-:
Funny guy hey?

Go to System Settings - About Tablet, scroll down until you see "CyanogenMod version"

I am asking because ad-hoc tethering was only recently implemented into the CM9 for Touchpad. Updating your ROM could be the first step to take in troubleshooting the problem.
[TouchPad General] ry_t:
Bought the Tablet used on ebay.Sorry I'm new to this completely.It's Classicnerd

build number is classic_tenderloin-eng 4.03 IML74k eng.leoisright.20120319.184132 test keys
[TouchPad General] bananagranola:
If you want to stick with Classicnerd, it's at 4.04.5 now; latest is from 06-05-12. Updating it might help; I'm not familiar with Classicnerd. If you want something more updated, try CM9 Nightlies. I believe CM9 Alphas still have wifi issues.
[TouchPad General] ry_t:
Can you link me?I bought the tablet used installed with Classic nerd.Thanks
[TouchPad General] -SGA-:
Right now I am running Oat CM9, and I highly recommend it. Just reboot into recovery and install .zip from SD card.

I don't even have wireless, just an unlimited data plan that I tether to 100% of the time... it's like I have a 3G touchpad because I am never without my phone :good:
[TouchPad General] ry_t:
What do I have to download in order to install it from the SD?I'm in recovery right now.Like I said in the previous post,I'm a complete noob.
[TouchPad General] -SGA-:
Download the ROM and GAPPS on your PC

Boot your TouchPad into Recovery

Connect your TouchPad to PC with a microUSB cable

On the TouchPad, navigate to "-mounts and storage" with the volume buttons and press the home button to select.

Navagate to "-mount USB storage" and select

On your PC you should see the prompt for connecting a USB drive called HP TouchPad, click "Open folder to view files"

Copy "whateverromyoudownloaded.zip" to the SD card without placing it into a folder

Unmount the TouchPad from your PC via "Safely remove hardware and eject media"

On the TouchPad select "-Unmount" and navigate to "-+++++Go Back+++++" and select that too

Navigate to -"install zip from sdcard" and select it

You will be in another menu where you will select "-choose zip from sd card"

Navigate to "whateverromyoudownloaded.zip" and select it

In the following menu navigate to "-Yes" and select it

You will see the update installing

Once finished navigate to "-+++++Go Back+++++" and select it

Use the same install zip method to flash GAPPS

In the main menu navigate to "-advanced" and select it

Navigate to "-Wipe Dalvik Cache" and select it

In the following menu navigate to "-Yes - Wipe Dalvik Cache" and select it

The Dalvik Cache will then be wiped and you will see a new menu where you will navigate to "-+++++Go Back+++++"

In the following menu you will have "-reboot system now" highlighted, select it

You have updated the ROM.

You will now boot into Moboot where you will select "boot CyanogenMod"

Done!

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tjamscad:
I just purchased a Droid Increadble 4G LTE from Verizon Wireless. I have started to notice some things that were forgot about or missed. These things should be caught before release.

Android version

4.0.3

HTC Sense version

4.0

Software number

1.43.605.3 710RD

1. The FriendStream widget is not there but is hidden.

2. I also noticed that when delete pictures from the phone storage using the computer they still show thumbnails in the gallary but when selected they give and triangle with the ! in the middle

3. Contact merge does not update contacts across the accounts as did previously on Droid Increadble.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
1. That's been commented on several times here. It's just not a link in the app drawer, but it still exists in several places.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1830020

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1764256

2. I pointed that out a few weeks ago, but no one has commented. I don't know a way to resolve it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1816450

3. In the People app, it gives you the option to link contacts, exactly the same as it did on the original Droid Incredible, which I used for two years. It never updated anything on your Google account if you linked it to a contact on your phone storage, even if more information on the phone storage, and also vice versa. When I deleted my Facebook account on my Dinc last year, it deleted every contact who came specifically from Facebook, and deleted all information originating from Facebook from existing contacts. Linking contacts simply puts the two information together for one easy place to look at it on your phone. If you go back and delete all contacts from your old phone and then resync your Google account, you'll only get the ones who came from Google, no phone storage, no Facebook, etc. Every time I updated to a new ROM, I have to manually restore contacts from my phone storage after syncing my Google account until I just manually entered every contact from phone storage into my Google account.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tjamscad:
IceDragon59 you are correct i was just putting all the annoying things in once place. Also the contact sync does not work for me as it did on the orginall Increadble. Maybe it is the same reason there is no Frienstream app or widget. But my contacts that should be linked to facebook arent showing there fackbook profile pictures like on previous HTC devices. Also I dont see Facebook for HTC Sense sync like before just Facebook for android.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] *Madmoose*:
Sense 4.0...yeah they changed a lot of the older functions to be merged into other places. People got used to the old Sense way of doing things. Whether these changes are for the better or not, time will only tell. But I agree, it seems a little too much in places. I think it's all part of their streamlining of Sense.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
FriendStream is specifically hidden in the default.xml file. I believe the way they implemented Facebook for HTC Sense on this phone is that it is an add-on to the main Facebook app, and that's why it doesn't display. A couple of apps on this phone seem to work in a similar fashion. Since I don't have a Facebook anymore, I can't verify how the contact sync works from it. Currently I have nothing but a Google account syncing contacts. It's possible that you have to merge those contacts, then set each manually to update their photos from Facebook.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tjamscad:
Thanks, but I have been going through and manually adding them. I guess it is something that I will get used to or switch to a different launcher. Launcher Pro has a widget like the friend stream one.

[Motorola Droid 4] tobby88:
I can't find them anymore - which tweaks should be done in build.prop if using GSM networks?
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice = 0

ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone = 1

ro.telephony.default_network = 3

ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc = 0

You should now be able to access Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> More -> Mobile networks and set up the appropriate APNs for your carrier, if the phone does not already have them.

If you're never intending to use the phone on Verizon, you can get rid of the "this SIM is from an unknown source" error by opening terminal emulator and running:

su

cd /system/app

mv VzwPhoneService.apk VzwPhoneService.bak

You may as well do the same with VzwController.apk VzwDeviceSetup.apk VzwEntitlementService.apk and vzwapnpermission.apk
[Motorola Droid 4] tobby88:
Thanks! That's what I was searching for!

No I will not use Verizon - but I will not use the stock-rom neighter, so don't need this. But this may help other people!

Thank you very much.
[Motorola Droid 4] Lum_UK:
Depending on which ROM you choose, this stuff may still be there as it's required for CDMA functionality.

If you get a "this SIM is from an unknown source" error. You need to remove those files.

i suppose as long as i'm on a Samsung firmware, i'll continue to update. it's a rather easy mod, though.

this will always be for DEODEXED. specifically tested on the AT&T leaked update, UCALH1. it will keep any SMS/MMS logs from showing up after install. just delete the old ones.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tvdang7:
Just got this phone and i love jellybean so i just want a rom that has music rocker controls ,battery %, notification toggles and possible overclocking. Anyone want to recommend the most stable one that they are using right now with that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
There's no stable version of Jelly Bean ROM out there right now. However, I found AOKP nightly to be very stable and pretty smooth. I also has great time using Liquid Smooth ROM thanks to its smoothness and its stable experience. In terms of music rocker control, I don't understand what you're talking about... Do you mean using volume rocker to control music app? Which can be done in any ROM, even stock?

Battery% can be found in almost every, if not all the custom ROMs. There was one in AOKP, one in Liquid, one in Cyanogenmod alpha, and one in euroskank AOKP and Cyanogenmod. Never tried CodeNameAndroid or anything else, but those should have them too.

Also with notification toggles, you can find that with almost every custom ROM there right now. You shouldn't worry too much about those.

With overclocking, you can do that with custom kernel if the custom ROM doesn't support it (They probably will though). Most of custom ROM has built-in CPU tweaking feature (Liquid had and also AOKP nightly had it.). If the custom ROM that you chose did not have it, you can always use something like Trickster Mod from XDA forum (Free) or SetCPU from Play Store (1.99 I think, but it has more CPU tweaking, which is very handy).

For more questions, PM me if you want ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 95Z28:
I disagree with this statement. Agree with most else kyokeun posted.

Each JB ROM I've personally tried was perfectly stable. Just because a ROM is a wip doesn't mean its not stable. That's the great thing about a nexus, pretty much any ROM the devs give us is a fully functional stable choice.

It all comes down to your personal preference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
I'll say it again, but there's no stable VERSION! Only custom ROMs I've found is either nightly, or alpha. I think I've mentioned that I've found Liquid and AOKP nightly to be stable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Paranoid Android is stable.

Infact, once it reaches 2.0.0(currently 1.9.9 as of now) it is considered stable.

I have heard a lot about people's phones not working and so on...

Why do people [especially noobs] root the Htc One X?

I know it must be easy to do, how fast can the HTC One X go with root?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
Apparently putting CM10 on the HOX makes it 60% faster than the S3 on CM10.

Rooting also allows you to delete bloat, backup apps/entire system, access system level files, flash ROMs, save battery with underclocking, and so much more.

Why root the HOX? Same reason as any other Android.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SferaDev:
As every Android the reasons for rooting is:

Performance, run shell, run ssh, customize, do complete backups, use other Roms, add users, enable adb by wifi...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devwithzachary:
Rooting your devices unlocks the full power of the device!

There are plenty of apps on the market that require root giving you a range of extra features like full app backups (with data).

How about installing some Linux on that bad boy and finding out just how powerful your device is!

Granted rooting back in the old days of android (1.6 and before) rooting was alot more useful as these days more and more features are integrated into android itself. But its still very useful!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -DarkKnight-:
because we can.

and deleting bloat.

root doesn't increase the performance. it is overclocking the cpu/flashing custom roms and kernels that increase performance

Sure mate but without root you cannot overclock our unlock for improve your battery. SetCPU for example request root.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spankly:
Root does not specifically grant you access to flashing other ROMs. Root grants you SU (super user) access to certain apps that call for it and allow you read/write access to more of the system and its files. With any HTC phone (not sure about Samsung and Motorola phones someone can correct me on this) made in the last year to be able to flash custom ROMs you had to be either s-off or at the very least have an unlocked boot loader which in turn granted you more access to where the Android system files are and access to memory blocks where the OS is installed.... But to this day if you are unlocked on well let's use my phone for example... I have the ATT HTC one X. When you unlock the phone through HTCDev.com website you have a grip more access to the phone and its files but the downside is voided warranty through the manufacture and HTC. While you have all the access you need to flash custom roms you still don't have access to flashing an engineering Hboot or an un secured Hboot ( you can flash you will get a signature error) both of which can give extra commands to the advanced user. Hope this helps :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SferaDev:
You are right root just adds one binary, change the rw permissions in the system folder and the Superuser app grants access to the binary. But the benefits are those listed. :)

[Asus Transformer TF700] pbrauer:
There is an excellent thread started by Wolfman87 over in the Q&A Section talking about the confusion around OTAs, bootloaders and recoveries. The entire thread can be viewed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1927095

I have taken the liberty of cross-posting an excellent summary by MartyHulskemper on the basics

ASUS Firmware updates:

* .22 was the release firmware

* .26 changed the scheduler from noop to cfq, smoothing out disk-write performance a bit, alleviating I/O issues to at least some extent; some minor app updates as well, it seems.

* .30 updated camera firmware (removing the clicking sound, amongst other minor fixes). The big thing was it updated the bootloader as well (without notice), which later turned out to prevent installation of Nvflash. This effectively shuts out those who flashed the .30 OTA or .30 manual ASUS firmware files from the added security of Nvflash... for now.

* .16 is the initial JB update

Confusion may stem from our colloquial designation for JB (.16) being out of order with the ICS builds that came before it (.22/.26/.30) -- our tendency to abbreviate anything needing more than three keystrokes has turned to shoot some people in the foot. If, however, you look at the full build number, the difference is quite evident:

.22 = ASUS firmware version 9.4.5.22 = ICS

.26 = ASUS firmware version 9.4.5.26 = ICS

.30 = ASUS firmware version 9.4.5.30 = ICS

.16 = ASUS firmware version 10.4.4.16 = JB

Bootloaders:

I believe any CM10/AOKP-based ROM will happily boot off of both the ICS and JB bootloaders. Currently, however, there seems to be no specific need or benefit to using the JB bootloader, so I'd stay away from it whenever possible.
