If I remember correctly - in free version you can batch backup, but you can't batch restore, or the batch restore is limited speed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
When you batch restore with the free version, you have to confirm each one. Fun.

Menu > Batch > Backup all user apps + system data : is there any difference between this and a nandroid backup? i mean does it make an image with EVERYTHING you have on your phone?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
No it doesn't make an image of everything on the phone like a nandroid backup
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
A nandroid backup backs up the system, data, cache, and a few other things like ext and recovery depending on how you set it but a titanium backup just backs up apps and data (which are on the data and cache partitions).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
You can also create an update.zip to put in your recovery folder and flash that way too. You can set a schedule to back up new, new versions or all. IMHO, pay the money. It has helped me in several instances. You can convert system to data or vice versa, un/attach apps to market and my favorite is you can clean your Dex right from the app.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
Somewhere way back I thought folks were having issues restoring System with TB and recommended just doing apps/data--

Right or Wrong?

I like MyBackUp Pro as a quicker (non-nandroid) bu of system/sms/mms/call logs/home screens/settings etc

Ken
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
Well, the issue is that some of the restored settings were conflicting with what was in there. If you restore system back to the same version (of CM or Android), then it should be problem free. But if you are restoring between nightlies of CM or major releases of stock, then options may have changed and restoring *can* cause conflicts that result in funky operations or bootloops. This doesn't happen all the time, but it has happened enough to me that I don't recommend it.

My recommendation is to just backup all your apps and app data (I also include TB's backup of wifi access points, bluetooth pairings, google accounts, call logs and sms messages). It really doesn't take too long to go and check all your settings. Plus it gives you the opportunity to see what new features were added.

And in all honesty, I am not sure MyBackup Pro would be any different in the above... both just backup the data and restore it. I think if one were to cause an issue, the other one would as well.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
Thanks for info bass,

I never restore system with TB, only backup/restore apps--no issues

I started using My BackUp before rooted, so as to have a bu of things if root went wrong. Just kept using it

Never had an issue restoring system with My BackUp, even after a month of nightlies

Main thing I like it for is Home Screens--saves time after fresh flash

Ken
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
That is definitely a benefit to using a 3rd-party launcher. I use ADW EX and everything for that app is saved in the app data, so as soon as I restore the app I am back to normal (well, except for my widgets and the background, but there are only two widgets that I use). But I do definitely sympathize on not wanting to redo all your settings. I hate it when I forget something simple like changing the wifi back to never turn off.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
Agreed--

I use ADW with CMN's but not EX. Haven't looked real close at its restore capabilities. But, My Back Up does CM/Sense/MIUI restores with Home Screens with no problems

Just comfortable with it--:)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
titanium backup restored my adw ex just fine minus the widgets.

[General Topics] k_linb:
My brother done a funky think on his X500. He tried to update his OS but he used a OS from M900. I told him that he might have "killed" the device, but still I'm trying to give him a hand, hope someone out there can help me as well.

The idea is:

- I've downloaded 6 original eten x500 rom

- I've changed the "magic bytes" using a hex editor - XVI32

- I found in this forum how to update the ROM using the SD or USB method

- I folowed the metod and on both on them I have the next message:

"bootloader programmed ok

knight progtamed ok

eboot programmed ok"

and after aprox 10 seconds i have the next message: "OS program not complete" and the device stops

If I do a reset I have a blank screen.

I have talked with some people to help me, they said that one of the reasons for this problem is that trying to flash a 90MB rom on a 128 MB ROM (a normal x500 file is 60 MB) and the file being to big it over write a vital part of rom. If I try to flash an original rom, the part overwriten first time won't be changed and still remains damaged. A solution would be writing the whole rom, not just the OS. But I couldn't find a method to load the ROM image and a image of the original ROM, the whole 128MB.

Any response is welcome.

Thanks in advance.
[Desire General] Pelly1982:
I have recently flashed my Stock Telstra ROM on my Desire with the Modaco Custom ROM r3.1. The only issue I have now is that in 'Settings' under Language & Keyboard > Set Locale there is now no option for "English (Australia)".

This doesn't worry me too much, however the Australian standard for mobile number formatting has changed and I was hoping that there might be a hack to change it? For example a mobile number is now displayed as 041-222-2222 where as they would used to be displayed as 0412-222-222 or without the hyphens.

Is it possible to change a system file or something that can fix this up?

Cheers

Greg
[Desire General] neur0x:
I think you can use Morelocale to change your locale to Australia, should be available in the Market.
[Desire General] mercianary:
You can manually add spaces and hyphens in phone numbers. Depending on how many numbers you have and how much it annoys you it might be worth your while.

Why in the configuration of samsung Kies, I do not see my phone number? I amrece the number of another person. It's very strange happens to someone else?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aweb:
Hello,

This phone looks really interesting, but I don't think Samsung will care about it after the promised 2.2 update. Furthermore its predecessor, the Galaxy, suffered from both a total lack of custom roms.

So my question is do you think there will be good custom roms for this phone for newer android versions ? Is it possible (eventual problems with drivers, etc..) ?

Thanks for your answers ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] belfastbob:
Paul O'Brien @ MoDaCo has just tweeted that he has rooted his own Samsung Galaxy S, so im sure that he will produce some great things for this phone as he has done with many other android phones. I hope its soon :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DAKIDD236:
I'm pretty sure there will be some awesome custom ROM s. This phone will be on the top 4 US carriers and US cellular. There will be a lot of new developers coming to this forum once the device is released.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] INeedYourHelp:
I consider this more of an annoyance since there will be like 5 different rom types (4 US versions plus the Europe/Global version) because so far every version has a different hardware configuration. AT&T and T-Mobile versions have different buttons (4 instead of 3) and no front camera. The Sprint version is a totally different phone with camera flash, a keyboard, and unfortunately, only 1 GB of storage (Link). The Sprint version also has no front camera and comes with 4 buttons. No details on the Verizon version. It's inevitable that someone will flash with the wrong rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sunshine1982:
The Captivate for AT&T has almost identical hardware to the I9000, as well as having a front facing camera. the only thing that was rly changed on this phone from the I9000 was the body design and the extra button.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] clubtech:
Hmm...i actually read that it won't have the front facing camera.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Axefield:
Captivate will have front facing camera and Vibrant on t-mobile does not have it. Vibrant actually looks identical to the Galaxy S, but Catptivate looks totally different(i think it looks better). Captivate looks=SE X10 looks, Galaxy S/Vibrant looks=iPhone looks??

edit. both of those links are telling that they both have secondary camera, but pictures of the phones are without front cameras.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sunshine1982:
here's the Samsung Captivate and Samsung Galaxy S I9000 compared on gsmarena

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] psychoace:
Remember Samsung holds a tight lock around it's drivers. So don't expect anything to awesome with these roms. No wifi tether is obvious and all roms will be based on Samsungs current 2.1 release. It's impossible to port anything from HTC or Motorola onto a Samsung phone because of the crazy partitions and security they have on it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aweb:
Yeah that was the problem I was referring to when creating custom firmware..

I'll buy another phone I guess
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dlci:
I'm not an expert, but don't think that's true. As SGS is rooted and Paul is currently preparing the kitchen @Modaco it looks like the bootloader is not locked like motorola milestone. Thus there's no problem to have custom roms, or?. Froyo is secured (according to samsung) so drivers will not be a problem in near future imho.

P.S. as I see some other phones with the same/similar hardware are announced to come in the next several months so pretty much there will be drivers available..from one or another place. But this is valid concern for any android as a matter of fact...except nexus 1, which is out of my scope due to the bad HW

P.S.S Another .02c - if the functionality promised is working as charm and the remaining phone's issues are solved in the near future...is it so important to have the latest gimmick that re-starts the troubleshooting from scratch? ;)

P.S.S.S Samsung is a better choice than HTC... Many reasons.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] psychoace:
Samsung's drivers are proprietary and encrypted. You still have to wait for them to be released in order to get anything to work on a Samsung device or else the device will have no display/sound/antenna's. The bootloader was hacked on the Behold 2 but we still had no option to flash from the phone. That means ODIN is the only way. Behold 2 was rooted and still had no wifi-tether and no choice in custom roms (it was whatever samsung released + optimizations). HTC has Samsung beat with hackability.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dlci:
Ok, I understand now what you mean. Didn't know that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] °Dexter°:
Too bad with this encyption story...

edit:we wouldn't have gingerbread if samsung won't release it,is that right? No chance to get something "new" if samsung doesn't release it directly?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] psychoace:
If they release it for another Samsung phone then it's possible that it could be ported but not certain. There is a 2.1 rom for the Galaxy. Eugene tried to port it to the Behold 2 and got almost everything working except for the most important thing which is sound. Wifi/BT/data/video were all there but he just couldn't get sound. We had a 1.6 rom well before the official release only because Galaxy had it first (also someone got a secret behold 2 beta a month after the Galaxy rom was released) and it's only problem was it didn't have vibrate. It's just nearly impossible to do anything without something from Samsung.

A good read if you want to understand what you're getting into when you buy a Samsung phone. http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-behold-2/63246-dev-needed-2-1-running-behold-2-a-4.html
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] esiemi:
mmmm, so, the combination of encrypted drivers and poor samsung support i.e. firmware updates, means that we wont be able to run 2.2 ROMs unless samsung releases 2.2?

and also further android versions are a no go?

already been burned by motorola with milestone and its locked bootloader, dont wanna burn again.... seems like the only option is HTC :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] damianarnold:
But there is wifi tethering. I set up a mobile AP on my UK Vodafone SGS to allow a guy in the office to activate his iPhone 4!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Perrosky:
o shi. if what you guys says here is true and there is no way to make new roms for the samsung or get new android version until samsung make them because of the DRIVERS :mad: that's a no go Galaxy for me plus tether is a Must Have for me :mad:.... damm u samsung. that was the only phone in t-mobile that I like I guess I'm gonna have to switch from carrier after all :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hassan:
I think we can't really compare GS with Behold 2. GS will have lot more support from Samsung. Also i have faith in Paul's work, he will come with some serious ROM's.

I wouldn't surprise if he would port Froyo to GS before Samsung. He already had fixed stalling issue, now i could feel real hummingbird humming in my GS. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] psychoace:
What app did you use?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] phete:
There's a built-in WiFi hotspot feature in the wireless-settings on the Galaxy S, atleast for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hassan:
That APP come pre installed with GS calls "All Share" that will let you do wifi tethering.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] psychoace:
Then that might only be a UK/Europe thing. The likely hood it will be turned off at least on AT&T.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DAKIDD236:
The sprints version of the Galaxy S has a front facing camera. I don't think the 4 carriers would make 4 different ROMS for the same phone, They may have different applications preloaded. The specifications for each phone are exactly the same.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] INeedYourHelp:
Yea, I just found out it does have a front camera. Also, the ROMS will be different. Pretty much all the carriers use different 3g frequencies/technology. Also, the Sprint version does have a hardware keybaord and only 1gb of storage (vs 16gb), so it's rom will definitely be different.

But I have the Euro version, so I don't care about those phones. I just want some good Euro version roms.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] psychoace:
Likely they could make 1 rom that's compatible with all those features. Whatever the hardware loads up the os will load up. Doesn't sound that hard. Linux has been doing it since it was born.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] INeedYourHelp:
There is not a single rom in existence (or will ever be) that accommodates both GSM and CDMA (ignoring hybrid phones, which the SGS is not). It's either a GSM rom or a CDMA rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lgkahn:
not really only the radio portion of the rom has to change.. not the core or the

i believe the pda and csc cana be the same only the phone/radio would have to chnge.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DAKIDD236:
Cyanogen makes roms for the dream, nexus 1, mytouch slide and milestone. So anything can be done with effort.

But hopefully we get multiple rom cookers for these devices.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] raspdeep:
Guys, it is not hard to create custom ROMs for SGS. It is because we are too used to create ROMs for HTC so Samsung seems like a lot of work.. I've already done a test and create my first own ROM customization so I know it is possible. Maybe the workflow needs to change a little but any ROM cookers will get it sorted out by writing their own scripts to handle things.. Really nothing to worry about..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] INeedYourHelp:
You do realize that he makes SEPARATE roms for each of those devices? EX: You can't take his droid rom and use it on the nexus one.

Why? Hardware differences.

No matter how identical these SGS are, they are in fact slightly different in hardware, thus requiring different roms.

My whole point is that each galaxy s requires a separate rom and someone will most likely flash the wrong rom since there will be so many versions....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] psychoace:
I never said you couldn't create a custom rom what i'm stating is how much can be achieved with a custom rom. Can you put froyo on it without Samsung releasing it first. Can you put a Sense UI on it? those are the things that very very tough to do on a Samsung phone. Ask anyone with an original Galaxy, moment, Behold 2 etc..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] raspdeep:
it is the community that make things possible. i dont think anyone disagree about being tough especially when more dev has their hands on htc / n1 phones but even that, not all htc phones have it easy also.. look at htc magic, they hv to do quite a lot of things to make froyo work using aosp source.. given that froyo is coming to galaxy s, its a matter of time other samsung phones will hv them ported too.. but like i said, community plays the biggest role here.. simply put it this way, if CM has a galaxy s, do u think froyo is out of the question? galaxy s is still so new so give it time..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] psychoace:
Galaxy S is new yes but the original Galaxy, Moment, Behold 2 aren't and they all have the same problem which is lack of driver support which allows the only roms to work are the one's that Samsung release. It's a new phone but it's the same old problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] raspdeep:
im not sure why u said samsung lack driver support and i dunno about other samsung phones but hv you downloaded galaxy s source? the drivers source are there for u to compile.. i think samsung made the right move this time around?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aweb:
Well if the drivers are provided int he source then maybe there's hope for custom roms...

Can someone tell if all of them are present there ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HazzBazz:
he's right...the drivers are open. Porting will require work but I dont believe its unachievable.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dudeldei:
Paul O'brian has already a Galaxy S online kitchen up'n running...so ROM's are coming ^^

I guess he will post a new thread with more info here soon...

Am already ruining MCR on my GS :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] vitalij:
And is it better than stock?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] psychoace:
It seems to have some kernal hacks to boast speed but other then that it's pretty much stock. The kitchen just seems to only add or remove apps from the rom.

And by stock of course I mean touchwiz.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hassan:
Yes its batter then stock, but having said that its only a first build.

Doors open for custom roms. Its was simple and easy to route compare to desire which almost took two months to gain root and that wasn't simple either.

GS already has a custom recovery for easy update.zip to install.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] clubtech:
Got a link to the customer recovery?

I can't find it anywhere.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hassan:
I meant it already has one installed.

adb reboot recovery, and you will see one. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] clubtech:
That's not a custom recovery. it is the regular recovery of the device.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hassan:
Yes that's right but you wont get that in HTC Desire would you? What i was trying to say is its already there where on HTC latest devices it could while before we could be able to apply custom zip package.

Phone was out two weeks ago and we already have option to apply custom zip package.

Its simple for developers to make custom rom. I think even bootloader isn't locked like Nexus One.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] HazzBazz:
Paul didn't mention kernel work. He's used some optimising scripts, based it off the newest build. Progress will be clear when the stalling is fixed, exploring cpu settings (either scaling profile or modded kernel) and moving data to nand.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mumps:
morvael says in the CyanogenMod forums that samsung released all the source code (minus TouchWiz) in its homepage, so I guess it's a matter of time someone in the CyanogenMod Team gets one now it's available:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] troed:
Methinks it depends on router-type and/or open ports and/or protocols since I messed around with the same problem a lot.

On my VAIO TT it worked nicely until I updated the WIFI-drivers, then it didi not work any more. So I had to go back to the old drivers.

The same with the Alcatel and Thompson-Router/Hubs installed by Austrian Telecom. They had to open some ports and then it worked.

With a Netgear-Router I did not succed at all, although I tried all possible settings. Was very frustrating..............

As there's no separate device page for our mini X10's, lets discuss it here instead.

Obviously X10i and E10i hardware is totally different and thus we can't use roms or anything from the "bigger" phone.

For now the Android 1.6 is almost usable on it, but I frankly hate the sony customizations and totally unusable text-entry and phone-dialer apps ..

A clean 1.6/2.1 ROM with HTC Sense would make me much happier.

But for now at least I'd like to solve the fonts problem, i.e. after getting phone rooted, installing custom fonts should be easy.

Anyone done that so far?
