Hello All,

I've already successfully rooted and installed CWM touch.

I have also spend hours and hours reading the forums before actually attempting to flash my first ROM. To which the process seems straight forward.

But after all I have read, I still have some questions and need some clarifications on few things. I hope someone can take the time to answer them for me.

CWM nandroid backups only backup the current ROM. No apps, settings, or personal data.

Titanium backups contain all the Apps and their settings.

Questions regarding Titanium Backups:

- Do the "settings" backups include login credentials (username/password)?

- Does it backup system type settings? WiFi hotspots, keys, sync accounts, etc? I noticed Wifi in the backup list, but wanted to confirm.

- What, if any, system/app settings are not included in a Titanium backup?

Non-Titanium Backup Questions:

- What is used to backup pics, music, downloads, and other personal data?

- Is a full factory reset suggested/recommended when switching between ROMs (i.e CM9 to SkyICS)? Or is this an overkill, and wiping is enough?

- If I ever chose to perform a full factory reset. Do I just restore everything from Titanium Backup?

- Are there any backup items which I should avoid restoring?

- Is there anything which won't be restored?

Basically I don't want to be caught with my pants down and find out I lost XYZ should something go wrong, or should I ever do a factory reset.

Thanks in advance for any information/guidance anybody can provide.

Best Regards,

Gavin

Nandroid:

Backs up everything on your phone.

All you data, settings, apps, personal data. EVERYTHING.

TB:

Backs up apps+ App data

It also backs up your wifi settings and sync account info.

If you install a fresh ROM you can use TB to reinstall your apps +app data and other things you select.

As for your pictures, music, download, ext. You don't need to worry about these. You can do a factory reset and you will still have all your music, pictures, ext.

Rom:

Every ROM has it's own method of instillation and updating.

Standard method:

1. Factory Reset/Wipe Data

2. Wipe Cache

3. Advance Settings -> Wipe Dalvik Cache

4. Mounts and Storage -> Format /Data

5. Mounts and Storage -> Format /System

6. Mounts and Storage -> Format /Cache

Now your safe to install a fresh new ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Shankre:
Thanks!

Sounds like switching between ROMs isn't as painful as I thought.

I've been wanting to, but dreading to because of all the configurings I thought I would have to redo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] robcore:
I use titanium backup as well as mybackup pro for holding onto senstive info for reinstallation on new roms. They are a power combo for apks, contacts, sms logs, bookmarks, etc. The list goes on, but they've gotten me through a few tough spots!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
Nandroid backs up everything EXCEPT the radio (modem). You'll need to flash a radio after a nandroid restore IF you want a different radio than what is currently on modem partition.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] robcore:
Coming from a relatively new Android/linux user with a background firmly rooted in Windows, I assure you that the process of flashing is definitely much less harrowing than it sounds.

Reading + discretion = winning!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
If you've read everything (which it seems like you have) and you're careful to follow the dev's instructions to the letter, it's really easy. The whole process only takes about 10 minutes from backup to rebooting the new ROM once you're used to it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Shankre:
Does Titanium backup not save sms, call logs and such?

What does mybackup pro do that Titanium doesn't? Is it for redundancy/peace of mind?

How do people backup personal data, pics, downloads, music, etc? I like to have backups in case the phone is ever lost or broken.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
I won't speak to Tibu saving call logs, etc., because I'm not sure. I don't restore system data (unless I'm having a stupid moment), as it can cause problems that force a re-wipe and re-flash.

I can tell you that the easiest way to back up personal data etc. is to move it off of the phone/SD card and onto your computer ASAP. That's how I do it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Shankre:
I am still on AT&T GB 2.3.5.

Looking for a daily driver that's stable and good on the battery. Basic apps ok, but no carrier bloat.

Preferably JB if they are stable, otherwise ICS is fine.

Any ROM suggestions to start with first. There seem to be so many out there... Dont know which to try. The nexus mod and unnamed seemed interesting but were abandonded. CM10? Skyics (margerine)? Other?

Also, why would I want or need a different/modified kernel?

Thanks again everyone for the very helpful info!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] robcore:
Yup, its as easy as plugging in a usb cord then dragging and dropping to your pc ( dont ask me about macs...). And titanium backup is primarily an apk backup/restore/freeze application, including system apps.

The other info just isnt an included feature in TB, youd have to ask its developer why.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Illnevertell:
No rom suggestions try them yourself as asking for a best rom is not accepted by our moderators
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Shankre:
I didn't ask for a "best", since I know each ROM has its pros and cons.

Was hoping for some direction based on the needs/preferences mentioned.

Also was inquired as to the stability of current JB releases, as well as opinions for some ROMs which I had already identified as possibilities for my needs.

Were my questions that unreasonable that I shouldn't ask the more experienced users of this community?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Illnevertell:
They are unreasonable in the sense that it creates lots of problems as no one rom is better than another and its based on usage I will ask that you avoid the question the moderators don't want to see endorsement of individuals work over another so try them out for yourself and see what you like
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Shankre:
Understood. That was not my intention at all.

I've noticed larger Android tablets have a split display for things like settings, where there's a vertically scrolling menu or options on the left side and the settings for that option on the right (like with iPads).

The N7 doesn't do this by default. If I go into settings I just get a list of options and tapping one gets me a full page of actual settings for the selected option.

Is there an easy trick/utility to get the split screen display?

Hi,

I'm looking for a solution to connect at least two USB devices (keyboard & storage devices) and charge the tablet at the same time.

Is there anything like that currently available? I'm not looking for a dock!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] R1ptide:
No
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Entropy512:
No, the N7 currently does not support USB OTG Accessory Charging Adapters.

It may be possible to add support for these adapters with a kernel patch, but since I don't even own an ACA I can't even start on that until I do.

If the N7 supported ACAs, you could achieve what you want using an ACA and a hub.

How do you get it to load consistently? This and the regular Blood and Glory, I'm having issues with. Whenever I try to launch the game, it's a hit or miss whether it will load or not. It'll go into a constant loop of trying to load but rarely do. Have Chainfire installed, TP overclocked to 1.7ghz on AOKP&CM9Remix ROM 9/24. Have used app killers to make sure that I have some memory available, but still nothing.
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] -SGA-:
It works on mine without any mods other than the V6 supercharger script. It could be chainfire that is messing with it...

Edit: nope, unless you have some crazy setting its not chainfire. Maybe just wipe the app and try again...

Might just be me then! Been having a few issues that do not seem to be prevalent.
