Titanium backup look up a tutorial vids on YouTube. You can just select backup data and then restore it after wards. Make sure you only select data not system

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Don_Perrignon:
^^

All of what he said.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Also it might be safe to assume you can just flash over on top of the old version, just don't report bugs if you have some, if things start acting weird and you get force closes, then wipe and start over. Longest run on ever.

Yeah um gonna try that too thanks for sharing.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DevilDogge:
Yep. Titanium backup is what you need.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rener78:
Me I use app2zip in order to backup my apps and what i like about it is that it makes a zip that you can flash right after you flash a rom.

It says that if your data is not erase it will restore it but it doesn't work all the time for me so I use a different app to backup apps and phone data to restore them.

More steps than TB but free
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dito33:
My backup will restore apps and data and easier to use than titanium.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ucanthvit:
backups

depends on the backup i'm doing on which one i prefer:

titanium backup if i want to backup the app and the data

superbox if i want just the .apk backed up for later install
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tony yayo:
I don't think he's looking to restore a full backup such as a nandroid. He's wanting to flash a newer version of a rom and make sure all his settings are the same afterwards. I'm sure he wants to have all his messages and bookmarks and apps and widgets to all be there afterward.

Honestly, I don't think there is such an app as I would have found it by now. I hate flashing rom updates every other day and having to restore my messages (and finding out that the backup is from a week ago so I've lost a bunch), downloading my apps and having to reset the settings (usually forgetting an app or 2 every time), not having my bookmarks anymore, etc.

I know you can restore a lot of this stuff from TB, as I usually do, but I always had worries about restoring things from one build onto another for compatibility reasons and to avoid FC's and such. I don't really think there is a foolproof way of doing what he wants. It's a little safer to do this by hand but inevitably you will lose or forget some things along the way.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Toz35:
Using TB I encountered many problems after a frosty upgrade awhile back. Something about the file system? Has anyone encountered this, as I would also like to upgrade from an old nandroid frosty bk
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Noobiologist:
I agree. I prefer this over TB when it comes to backups but that's my personal preference.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Did you try to restore system data? If so, then that's the problem. Never do that for any reason (when updating the rom).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daxecutioner24:
What I usually do is restore apps like evernote with data basically apps that have info on it. While others ones like Pandora without data in which I could start from Scratch without losing anything. If you want to keep actual settings really I think the only way to do it is if your upgrading the same rom to a different version and rom has to support it.
[HTC One X+] poojiggles7:
Hi there, I just got an AT&T HTC one x+ and I have a quick question or two.

So I'm guessing that international roms/kernels will not work on my phone and will cause it to brick right?

Also, do roms/kernels from the regular HTC one x work on the x+?

Thanks!

Sent from my HTC One X+
[HTC One X+] NasaGeek:
Yes (sort of) to your first question and no the second. International ROMs/kernels will not necessarily brick your phone, but they will make it largely non-functional until you flash a new ROM and kernel.
[HTC One X+] AndroHero:
And to add to that. One X roms, kernels and recoveries. Will not work on our device.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veener79:
I think I am stuck but I wanted to make sure. I have done searching but all I can find is older posts. I just got my Nexus 7 and I installed CM10 last night. I just got the movie Ted and I got the digital version but it can only be played through Flixster / Ulterviolet. When I try to open their apps it see's my phone is rooted and will not allow me to play a video.

Is there any way around this? Would like to play Movies on my Nexus 7 but trying to figure out how to do it.

Thanks for any help.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
thats their security, so no one will steal their movies. you can use google play movies. root, no problem :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veener79:
Well That stinks. :( Wish the was a way to use the OTG cable and not have to be rooted. I just do not want to have to pay for the movie again in the play store.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
You can attempt a temp unroot, or see if somebody has released patches for those apps.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper08:
I had exactly the same issue as you did and I solved it using multirom. My internal Rom is rooted and one of my additional roms is stock google unrooted. When I want to watch movies i boot to the stock rom and I can watch films from flixster and guess what I also have Ted! Multirom is awesome.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veener79:
In searchig on other places then XDA I found this on Droid Forum. Might give this a try.

OTA Rootkeeper. Use this app to "hide" root from other apps. Then unhide root after watching movies so you have the advantages of being rooted. Might try this first.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper08:
I tried root apps and they failed. I use sky to stream tv and whatever method I tried to hide root the app always came back with your device is rooted. flixster may work with root hiders. Good luck!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veener79:
Ok just did this on my Infuse phone to give it a try. Both my Nexus 7 and Infuse are running CM10 roms. Flixster did not work with it rooted in my phone. I used OTA Rootkeeper and did the temp root on it and it worked on my phone!!!! Hope this will work on my Nexus 7 tonight. I do not see why it should not. This is perfect!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper08:
Yes I think it worked for me on flixster but some other streaming apps will still state root. Enjoy Ted!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veener79:
Worked on my nexus. :). Do not want to do duel boot right now. Might if some very experiential ROM comes out.

3. Charge your phone until you get at least 50%

4. At this point - you should be able to flash your device - following normal flash procedures
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] khayjason:
If I just flash without wiping data, then backup my important data, and flash again then restore the backup, is that gonna work?

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] CelticWebSolutions:
Or if you want reboot options in CM10.1 power menu you can :

Go to settings, about tablet,

Tap on Build number a load of times and you will get a message that says developer settings enabled or something to that effect.

Go into Developer options (which just appeared) and check "advanced reboot"

That will give you options such as reboot recovery and reboot boot loader, if you have an sgt7 based version you don't need to do the tap build number bit.

hi,

I want to request an app that someone might know or could possibly quickly cook up? I searched everywhere on the play store but couldn't find anything.

To add a song to play music manually, you need to clear data, and I find myself doing that almost everyday since I don't buy my music from the play store and I want to use play music because I like the ui and integration with android.

Is there an app that already exists or someone can make that will clear the data of play music?

Its been a while since i have had a sensation so thats why im asking for all your help i need a good battery life, a great camera app like sense 4.0/4.1/4.5 and i prefer it with good audio like beats... I love cyanogenmod but the camera is just not great...

viper/elegancia rom is good if you prefer looks :)

if you are fine with 4.2 camera

cm10/AOKP roms are pretty good (you need to flash camera of 4.2 separately though ..also recent updates of them amde scrolling as smooth as sense roms ..i heard )

if camera is main concern ...then sense 3.6 rom of Elegancia/ARHD with camera mod ..perfect combination for stability ..rock solid these are :D
[HTC Sensation] Itsakash:
Hyper non sense - great battery + sense 3.6 camera

Arhd - good battery life full stable + sense 3.6

Vipers - good battery + sense 4.1 + tweaks

And I think sense 3.6 camera performed better than sense 4.x for our sensation

I want to learn a programming code/language but I don't know where to start. I know about a code to start learning called lolcode but I don't know if you recommend me to learn it, if it is too easy, or just, stupid.

Maybe html?

I don't know

:confused:
[General Topics] Pennycake:
Learning a fake or un-useful "code" language might not be a great idea.

There are TONS of web-sites and even more books and classes that will teach you things like Java or C++ - start with one of those. I'm assuming you're interested in Android development - but if you're not, you might want to check out what you need to know for what you want to do.

HTML is still useful, and so is CSS - but they're for web development. Great to learn if that's what you want to do - but very different from Java, C++, Python, et cetera.
[General Topics] JKan Co:
I recommend u C or C+ as it is the starting point for programming. And if u want t be android dev， a programmer told me to do this：C+ -> Java -> and then android app programming....
[General Topics] a.cid:
I'd recommend the sane to anyone interested in Android app dev

C++, then Java.

Should be over-kill for your first app.
[General Topics] Extrinsic:
HTML is a markup language, not a programming language.

C/C++ might be a bad place to start if you have no prior programming experience. Python is a good language for beginners. Once you understand one high-level language, it becomes much easier to pick up on others.
[General Topics] pageniao:
i think it is very hard to learn....:p
[General Topics] -star-:
It can be hard if the learn technique is not the best.

I would recommend you to start with c then c++ (especially the object oriented part) and then java.

And make little steps, not the whole thing in one part, try to reach after each part a 'successful done' feeling. Sounds probably weird, but I know a lot of people that stopped it because they thought that they can't reach the project target.
[General Topics] Wischm0pp:
I'd start with java, then go on to c or c++.

Also an easy way to start is by learning the syntax and then retype other peoples codes while trying to understand it.

Development

Is it good to learn those although I'm a beginner? I haven't tried any language yet.

I'm getting interested in the developer's world, so I'm interested in that.

What do you recommend?
[General Topics] ChadtheBuilder:
Java and C/C++ are definitely coding languages that you will use.
[General Topics] Pennycake:
The biggest question is "what do you want to do?" . That will determine what you should set about learning. "Developing" is still a pretty big and diverse thing, even if just Android. You can work on Android projects without coding too - someone has to make the websites and do the artwork, et cetera.

Being a beginner isn't a big deal - everyone has to start somewhere. Think about human languages - if your goal is it go to France, speak to French people in their native language, would you start accomplishing that by learning Spanish or Esparanto?

If you want to work on apps on your own, C/++ and Java are what you need to know. Python is good to learn, and useful for non-Android applications, but it's up to you if you want to learn an extra programming language before you can start doing what you want. Personally, I don't think C is any harder - but that's what I started with. It's going to take time, you'll learn how to use the tools you have to solve problems and create new things.
[General Topics] niyonsaba:
Nope just give it a go. C is a good way to start. Good luck!
[General Topics] icybluetooth:

going into web designing and dev

- HTML / PHP/ CSS

advance with

- JSP, Java Flex

You have to start somewhere - so any modern language would be good (though I have to say that personally I'd rather start with something like ruby). The first one is by far the most difficult - after you have that one - adding others is relatively easy.
[General Topics] ivoidwarranty:
If you're totally new to programming, I would recommend Scratch it's not exactly a programming language - it's roughly a programming platform to teach programming through fun. After having fun and learning some programming concepts, I would suggest start Java with Android app development. Java is relatively easy to start, and Android app development is very simple to try basic things. You would also be happy to see your code running directly on your phone :)

Stumbled upon this thread and figured I'd give my two cents. I've been fooling with computers since the first desktops came out in the early 80's. :eek: Yeah, I've been around a few minutes :silly: I've been seriously programming for about 20 years. I'm a self-taught programmer. I program for Windows. Anyway, when I started learning I experimented with some scripting languages first. I then moved on to C and then eventually, just recently actually, C++. Of course during that time I also learned HTML, CSS, and JavaScript so I could handle my own web sites, and that took my to PHP. So, to make a long story short, I program in C, C++, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and piddle around with Java and Android ( still Java ). In my opinion, any serious programmer isn't going to limit their self to one single programming language.

I am not a programmer by trade either, I'm actually an electrician. Programming is a hobby for me, but a hobby I take seriously.

I think the best way to learn anything is by hands on training ( doing it ) and also by example ( reading source code ). Don't expect to bang out a flawless program or application within 3 weeks either. Like I said, I've been programming for almost 20 years, and I learn something every day.

Good luck with whichever path you choose ;)

My programming professor used to say that "You can teach yourself a programming language in a month, but to learn programming... it's gonna take years". And it's 100% true.
