I'm not sure if this is how it works, but everytime I flash I backup the app and data of helixlauncher and when I restore it my icons are all in the right place. You obviously have to reinstall all your applications first before the icons work, but it worked, to my surprise.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] docsparks:
From my experience with the pro version, which is much better than the free, and worth it,

Any of the stuff in red, i dont back up. I just backup all my actual apps I know i use on my phone, with data.

I use mybackupPro, to restore all my call logs and texts, yadda yadda, but titanium backup for apps+data

I haven't found anything to successfuly restore my screens and widgets without error or issues, but whatever. atleast the widgets data is still stores [atleast with Pure calenders and such]

I wish there was some sort of better guide though, like exactly which system settings NOT to back up, that would be awesome.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tnicko:
I too would like to see it all spelled out. Especially for noob such as myself.

I've been using mybackupPro for exactly the same reason, together with Titanium. But my widgets and shorcuts aren't restored. And I use More Icons Pro which is more of a pain to redo after every flash or ROM change.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] seanowns:
Ok Guys. Here is an easy report on Titanium Backup.

Titanium Backup will backup all of your installed applications(this can include system apps), settings, Launcher Icon Layout, Wifi, sms/calllog etc..

It WILL work between at least android 2.1 roms(Cyan, Enom etc,,). I have not tried going over to a desire ROM

PRO is VERY much worth it. It allows you batch install instead of clicking for every app. Easily worth 4 or 6 bux.

Now what you do.

Install and possibly donate. U use paypal and get an email with the "pro" key soon after.

-Click backup/restore

-Click menu(phone button), batch

-Click Backup All user apps.

-Let it run, then go back.

-Individually backup all items highlighted in green. This will be bookmarks, call log, calendar, LAUNCHER, wifi, stuff like that.

-SKIP RED ONES. These are system apps and u basically are overwriting your new ROM.

Ok now you are backed up in your SD card in folder Titanium backup.

You can now, Wipe, install a rom, download titanium from market, click backup/restore, Click batch. Then click restore all apps and Data.

Restart your Phone.

And your back in business. EZ PZ. Your settings, Wifi, Icon layout, etc. will be installed. The only thing I have to adjust is my wallpaper/widgets usually.

All in all you can do a full ROM from wipe swap in about 15 minutes. I always Wipe because its so easy, why not.

Also. This works with Apps2sd as well. It can go from non-apps2sd to apps2sd, or apps2sd to non-apps2sd. Basically it doesnt care...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Markdental:
Great write-up. I think a lot of us needed this...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MI_canuck:
is Titanium regarded as a better backup solution than Nandroid? or are they comparable?

thnx!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] diversificationied:
Does the author of titanium post here?

Would like to share some feedback.

Different types of backups.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daswolven:
Nandroid will back up your entire ROM, all apps, and all settings in one package. Titanium just baks up the apps that you use, so if you switch ROMs or wipe, it's a very fast and easy process to reinstate them.

Both are pretty mandatory. :) Show some love and get the donate version. Good devs shouldn't have to eat Ramen Noodles. Except by choice.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Daswolven:
Just a note: The free version does batch back-up and restore, but no verify or market doctor. This may be a recent change to the free, as I just started using titanium when I got my Nexus.

Jumped to the MoDaCo Desire Rom for a few, and reinstalled only the apps without any system data, worked just fine. I can see a potential issue though doing backups from Desire of anything requiring Sense, and trying to restore on a non-Sense ROM.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] joel.bourquard:
Hi seanowns,

Many thanks for this mini-guide. I'll definitely add something like this to my web page :)

Just one thing: the reason why we usually skip the "red" system items is not because Titanium Backup would overwrite these system apps (it doesn't) but rather because they are items which usually don't contain any interesting data.

For system apps

: Titanium Backup currently never backs up (nor restores) the app itself. It only touches the system data.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] joel.bourquard:
This is still accurate today. I might add the backup verifier in the free version, but it's hard as that requires Hypershell.

Yes indeed, when backing up/restoring across HTC and Google ROMs (or generally speaking: between wildly different ROMs), it is advised to restore the system items with caution, and generally only the system items you need. There's no such problem with user apps & data, which will *always* work across ROMs.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] seanowns:
Ahh. Good to know about the Red system items. It means I can be even more lazy and just back up everything.

Adding an official guide is a good idea. I had these same questions a few months ago and actually held of trying it for a week.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mikey:
@ joel.bourquard

Welcome :)

Thanks for stopping by...BTW..i love your app...full version :)

I didnt know about the green and red labeled items lol

Have to look whether there is a feature to select all *green* or similar to that.

Or if Green items in list can be added to a batch execution, if it is, im not understanding the wording of the batch files :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] overground:
Ideas for Titanium Improvement

I know I'm asking a ton here, but it's something to think about implementing. What would be really useful is to have one (or more if you have multiple backup copies selected) main "Market/User batch" backup restore. If multiple backups are enabled, a name for each set would be cool.

The really useful part would allow several system app/settings entries and allow unique naming by user. One could have say a Cm, a Desire and Enomther system folders, and could back up and restore to each as need be. That way if someone's testing several ROM's there's no confusion about which system app/setting came from which build. That way you're not restoring Enomther's Spare Parts app to a Desire build.

I don't know if this is possible either (I know nandroid does this, but I'm stretching for in house), but a feature where if you are unsure about a system app/data/setting restoration, allow a onetime snapshot pre-restore, so if things do not work out, an undo of last action is possible. Or, if you implement the ideas in the latter paragraph, that responsibility could be left to the user, since they could save the fresh target and data in it's new folder before messing with it.

I'm sure this is all possible now by moving and renaming the backups on sdcard, but it would be much cleaner from within Titanium's ui.

Great app...happy donator here, and it has been a staple in many tutorials I have scattered around the forums. Thank you, and keep up the good work! :D

hi!

im having trouble with titanium backup. it does not detect apps that are installed. i did changing the filters to all, un-install/re-install the app, reflash/factory reset the phone, but no luck.

contacted the developer and while waiting, i think i can drop by here and get some tips :)

my device is th Samsung Captivate SGH-I896 (rogers captivate)

thanks

EDIT: and i posted on the wrong place.....sorry....:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] joel.bourquard:
Hi,

Please check that your phone is properly rooted, then it will work for sure.

The Wiki covers most of the problems that you can encounter, hopefully including this one:

http://matrixrewriter.com/wiki/

Once you verified that your phone is well rooted, just hit the "Problems" button and it shall work.

BTW, thanks to the original poster for his mini review :-)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jimbobalu:
Integrate updates of system apps into ROM

Can someone give a more detailed description of this feature? I have searched and looked at the wiki but there is not much info. Will apps integrated into the ROM still receive updates? What exactly is this doing? I did it and it moved all the apps and did free up space but now I am wondering how to move them back if I need to or if this is now impossible.

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] joel.bourquard:
Hi,

Yes they will still receive updates from the market afterwards. Instead of having an older app in your Rom which is overridden by a newer app in internal memory, you just have the newer app in your Rom and nothing in internal memory.

It's not reversible (within TitaniumBackup at least), except if you reflash the same Rom (update.zip in recovery mode) without wiping your data.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nugroho2:
@Joel. : Thanks to your great application, I was saved from hours of installing after changing mods. But sometimes, in the middle of changing mods, many apps would suddenly stop working. And some reported that this was because of connectivity; I suspect wifi connectivity. I believe there is one system file that contains all this information. What system file is that? Hopefully, just restoring that file would make all the apps working again.

Thanks

EDIT: Wifi working correctly, but other apps that uses wifi stops

Hiya,

I'm tweaking some bits of my xperia and one aspect that's bothering me is facebook sync cyce. The default figure (2 hours) is too short, i.e. if it refreshes every 2 hours it obliterates my monthly data cap. I was wondering if its possible to push this figure up to say 5-6 hours?

I found the key Facebook.LeadTimeOfEvents within the registry in HKCU\Software\People - default value is 30/1E. Is this the key I need to modify??

[HD2 General] area5x1:
One thing that worries me about the HD2 is the touchscreen sensors. If it's just the same ones as the Nexus One, Synaptics CP2000 with faulty multitouch, I might have to reconsider my options.
[HD2 General] tontonHD:
It does have true multitouch. Youtube it there are a bunch of videos out there.
[HD2 General] area5x1:
After seeing YT videos, it looks like the same wonky multitouch in Nexus One. I'm disappointed :(
[HD2 General] DeekoVB5:
What is it you find "wonky" about it
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
No it's not. Some of the first run HD2s had some bad sensors, but we don't have any trouble crossing streams or whatever you N1 kids call it nowadays.
[HD2 General] area5x1:
Like in this video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTqh6u2OUFU

Sometimes it jumps all over the place.

And in here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hgrsq2-Vy7Q&feature=channel

It sometimes sticks when you're near the same axis.
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
The sticking is an auto-align in the driver.
[HD2 General] area5x1:
Is there a way to turn that off? Does it support more than 2 fingers?
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
Back in Nov, guess they got lazy ;)

Not sure about turning it off.
[HD2 General] ahimberg:
HD2 has multitouch, but can only recognize 2 touch points.

(WP7S min requirement is 4 touch points)
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
As you can see here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzhUzq6bTPg&feature=player_embedded

The N1 multi-touch issue is very pronounced and extremely different.

I just grabbed both Scilor and |3v5y apps for multitouch.

In the Scilor app (with two circles) you can see a clear snap when you are on the same x or y axis, but again this is driver behavior. Nothing unusual besides that.

In the |3v5y app, the x axis doesn't show any snapping, but crossing on the y axis (possibly a coding error?) swaps the 'paint stream' under the fingers, but still keeps with original positions.

This is similar to the droid on the youtube video above, where the blue and red dot might flip, but it doesn't lose track of what is being touched. Thus, not the same problem as the N1. Not the same sensor. Hurray, hurrah.
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
Not true. HD2 2-point multitouch is a driver (soft) limitation, if you read what I just quoted.
[HD2 General] area5x1:
On that note does anyone know what sensor HD2 uses?

Hello Guys.

About a lot of months i flashed TPCs Stocklike Rom to my device. Now i thought it might is time for an update.

But i got a huge problem :

When Flashing an other rom the device comes to bootloader and starts transfer/unpacking/whatever up to 100%.

After that my old TPC Rom reboots again.

What can i do?

Very much thanks for help
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Blinkydamo:
Copy the new rom that you want to flash onto the root of your sd-card and rename it to kaisimg.nbh. Reboot your phone into the bootloader and re-flash. That should do it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] denco7:
Try flashing back to your stock rom first.

If you still have an old rom on your SD and put a new rom on there and try to flash, the phone will flash the first available file. If flashing using SD card , make sure that you have deleted all other rom image files first.

I have a bronze G1 i dropped and broke back in December about a week before christmas. The digitizer completely shattered, i tore into the phone and ordered the new parts. When putting it back together with the new digitizer, the lcd flex cable got caught in the sliding mechanism, it of course got cut, i ordered a new one, same problem. Well, the second new one came in, i put it all together, luckily, its booting, im at the splash screen. I do the good old three finger salute and boot into recovery to be sure its all up to date, rebooted again, and bam! Nothing, the LCD lights up but the splash screen doesnt come up. The whole phone turns on, LCD turns on, but no picture. I took it apart to be sure the wire didnt come undone, pieced it back together, still the same thing. Any ideas?

[General Questions and Answers] crackness:
I figure this is the best place to ask for advice.

I fell in love with HTC/keyboard phones when I got an unlocked mda (i'm on att) a few years back. They keyboard and ruggedness of the phones (they've outlasted a few drops here and there) had won me over, especially after using an n95 briefly a few years ago. I got an 8525, and now I'm on a tilt (8925). I've always upgraded roms and liked trying new things, so I tried something new about a week ago.

I went the Android (ion) on sd card route, and loved it (but tried to go nand and it never worked correctly). My battery seems to last forever now (where a week ago, before I started using android, my battery was dying at around 6 pm), the speed of everything (the phone dialer seems to be running at light speed compared to winmo) and the touchscreen responds so much better. Even with the occasional freeze and crashes, I haven't gone back to winmo (except on the occasional restart and re-running haret)

It's time for a phone upgrade. I (briefly) had a tp2, but it still felt slow in winmo 6.5. And seeing how android isn't as well developed on it as it is on the kaiser, I'm looking at other options.

I'd like to keep att 3g, and have native android, AND a hardware keyboard. Does this exist? If i gave up a keyboard (though i don't really want to since I text a bit and surf the web a bit as well), are the newer touchscreens good/fast enough? I was looking at the Hero, and the ion/magic (which seem to be almost the same,though I like the price of the ion/magic), but maybe you guys can help me out? I have to go the Ebay route, seeing as how I'm stuck on att for another year (long story short, gave upgrade to family member, who has since screwed me on their end of the bargain) so I guess that's another thing to keep in mind. Help?
[General Questions and Answers] Dalamar1320:
Depending on how much you want to spend will Ddepend on your options right now the only official android device for att with a keyboard is the backup nd I personally think it is horrible. You could spend the $529 and get an att Nexus One, which is only touch screen but is fast enough to handle input well. Plus with the many touchscreen keyboards out now it is pretty easy to transition to touchscreen. I just did this whole post using the swype keyboard and it is pretty fast and accurate. if you can hold off then there are gonna be many new handsets comming. Plus flashing new roms for android is highly addictive lol.
