So are y'all saying that advance restore of data (via CWM) or the restore data in Amon (or restore data via Titanium I would assume) is the same as just not wiping data?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aburgthing:
Really an awesome post. Thanks for your time and effort!

Yeah they are. That one that can turn into a laptop is nuts.

There will be another GingerBread Menu beta tonight :)

I know most of these kernel posts are anecdotal at best, (great detailed post Frank) but seems I have found a decent kernel matching the above specs and did so by mistake. I religiously plug in my phone upon coming home from work. I am currently using the kernel in my signature line. Many of us haven't been letting our kernels "settle" for any length of time due to the nightly flashing. However, using the below Net's kernel I forgot to plug in this morning was extremely tired and when I looked at my phone this afternoon after 10 hrs. and change & starting at 93% I was at 89% upon waking up. I still have not rolled back any of the new radios, PRI, etc. Just some food for thought. Of course there was no use in between but thats still pretty good right? This after not flashing anything since the 1/4 nightly and replacing stock #15. (I don't like that kernel BTW).

• i think amon ra has beta you select what you want to backup and to restore

• while perusing ra recovery 2.1.1 thread, i saw a post by a poweruser saying just plug in and pull and push what you want

• using amon_ra v2.1.1 - when you wipe dalvik cache and you see DATA:dalvik cache - makes you a little nervous

• and finally - i'm taking one of my noob get out of jail cards free passes -

and too lazy/overtired and drugged to google it from here - exactly what is included in DATA ? are system settings ? all apps and settings ?

thanks

[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
Maybe it's psychological, but cleaning and doing a virgin ROM install, then restoring data, has always seemed better to me than installing over existing data, if for no other reason than it gives me the chance to make certain any issues I might come up with are not with the ROM.

Simple as that...:D

[EVO 4G Android Development] frankpreyes:
I agree, whatever works for me, does not necessarily work for everyone else. One thing I noted in 17, when the screen is turned off, battery stats are straight line. No change in % battery level. I did not see that same behavior for HTC 15.

I have tried several other kernels in the past few months, but have always come back to 17. Netarchy's starts out great, but degrades after time. Kings gave me FCs. My 2 cents. PS. todays heavy use experiment went even better than yesterday's. Once I have some time on the old PRI I will post my complete results.

[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
In preparation of tomorrow's launch of RLS 5, now would be a good time to backup your apps, do a nandroid backup of your current setup, place all of your mods, updated radios, etc. & the kernel you're going to use, if not the default, and put them in a folder or on the root of your SD card to be flashed after the rom. Also, have handy the links that helped you troubleshoot prior problems, just in case....Just my 2 cents.

Agreed. I guess I'll just put them on a thumb drive. I have 4 other friends phones I have rooted and turned onto Myn's 4. As soon as they hear a RL5 dropped I'll be getting phone calls since they never touch their recoveries and I've become their resident Evo technician :mad:

[EVO 4G Android Development] sidepart:
Haha figured I'd try out the Warm 2.2 theme for Launcher Pro 0.8.1.1 ... It sure was a chore finding the 0.8.1.1 apk since it didn't seem to work with the newer 0.8.2.0 version.

Then I had a whole new set of problems because the 0.8.1.1 version was "expired". Locked out my entire phone and just opened my browser to a blank web page. Luckily I'm crafty. Just press the search button, type in 'settings', go to applications and DELETE! God...what kind of retarded app dev would do that to someone's phone. What if it'd been my mom? She'd be flipping out right now.

Anyway...any recommendations? Should I try ADW, Sense or the Gingerbread 2.3 launcher? What do people find cooler at this point?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
i've seen the answer to that

but earlier today when i got run nandroid-mobile.sh

i ignored it and deleted a couple of old nan backups

For starters, if you've never used Myn's WarmTwoPointTwo, i would recommend that you use the default launcher. You can make it look like the others you mentioned by flashing a few mods. It is very customizable.

MYN you maginificant bastard!
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
What recovery method and version are you using? Clockworkmod or amon RA? If wiping the cache & dalvik & a reboot didn't work and your battery is low, try restoring an earlier nandroid backup. If you're successful, then the one you are trying to restore may be corrupted. If you're unable to restore any of your nandroids, it is possible that your SD card may need to be reseated or you may need to reflash your recovery. Update us on what you've done and what error message(s), if any, are you still receiving if different that the original.

If you have rom manager it is the first one under all clockwork recoveries

[EVO 4G Android Development] roscoenr:
After you flash it check your text messages and check the time stamps if they are right you should be good to go

(i have - it does work)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbermi:
if a mod works on 3.30 (RLS4) it will bootloop on beta and final RLS5 due to different framework. sure once the final is released, there will be mods up shortly after that are compatible with the framework of RLS5 (3.70 OTA based) this includes lockscreens, and service.jar mods (no clock, etc) but straight rosie mods will work, since the rosie.apk is seperate from services.jar and framework of the 3.70 OTA.

(this should be in the FAQ)
[EVO 4G Android Development] roscoenr:
Actually a lot of them will boot fine and then cause other problems like time stamp messed up in messages
[EVO 4G Android Development] cavediver:
Actually, you can do this (selective restore) with Amon RA now. Since the newest 2.2 release version, you can selectively restore partitions. Make a backup of just the wimax partition and make a backup of just the data partition. You can restore the individual partitions if you made an individual partition backup.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
I don't know if we should include it or not but one time I did and man.....I regretted it! Took FOREVER to restore. I don't back that up anymore.

And have yet to find a really good way to save my home screen widgets/configurations/settings - you know, all the little things that make us love our phones :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
i disagree - reason being ...

i used Jlechner's Normal Taskbar Normal Widget Super Circle (Circular Battery) on RLS 4

and also on RLS 5 BETA (+) and it works

that's why i said if it works on RLS 5 beta - it will work on RLS 5 final

so you can't issue a blanket nothing will work due to different framework

at least imo
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbermi:
yeah, that too. forgot about that.

but I am sure there will be a lot of people flashing mods and breaking stuff and blaming it on RLS5...blah blah blah. it runs slow, its sucking my battery dry...etc.

but i am sure Derek will include a warning in his release notes (but it seems no one ever reads them)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ghodzilla5150:

[EVO 4G Android Development] mugsaway:
Did a nand using RA 2.1.1 (apparently this works - my phone is 20K)

Titanium backup (backup all user apps + system data)

Question:

Will all my text messages be lost, data in the notes app be erased, and data in other apps like Acar be completely gone? How can I restore them? I assume I do all this backup stuff in Titanium backup for this reason.

Also, I am using LauncherPro plus - can I save all the settings for this? I would like the docks to stay the same as well as all the apps on the pages.

I haven't had a problem flashing things, just unsure how to save data in app and settings in LauncherPro.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ghodzilla5150:
That's what I was thinking too. Will wait for MYN's instructions.

Thank you so much for all the hard work you and all other testers have put into this and I can't wait to check out tomorrows version :)

Edit:

if someone can throw a link on how I can do my part and pass my thanks by donating it would be appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
I'm pretty sure Titanium Backup also backs up texts, but just in case, download SMS Backup & Restore from the market. It'll backup and restore all your texts to/from SD. All you have to do is redownload it after you flash whatever ROM you're going to and hit "Restore". It can do multiple backups or just add on to a previous backup (called Archive mode).
[EVO 4G Android Development] MadDogMaddux:
I've got to the place that with backing up, other than a Nand, there's very little I back up.

1) Alarm data

2) Contacts data

3) Facebook for Sense (yeah, I use it - so sue me, and I've had trouble installing it from the optional folder in the past :P )

4) e-mail data (this is the one I always forget!) for Improved E-mail app

Everything else I just tell AppBrain to dump back on my Evo, and it's roughly as fast as with TiBackup. Plus, as has been said before, it just SEEMS more proper to install things new when you're launching a new longtime ROM. I tell myself it'll iron out the bugs that might otherwise crop up. Chaos Theory and all that....
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
my toggles sync correctly and it works

even though i believe his linky (post #2) says for RLS 4 only (!)

(STOP signs don't phase me either - that's why we have nan backups)

my messages work everything works

Jlechner's NT/NW/SC, RLS 3 Boot Animation, Stock Font, and gb clearsexyrosie

are the mods i always flash in together after rebooting to recovery from clean install.

i do understand your point about framework, etc.

but just thought i'd point out, it's not a blanket no-go

[EVO 4G Android Development] Andy0682:
As I said, I am completely new to this but so far by following instructions and reading everything has worked according to plan.

Once RLS5 hits tomorrow i just want to make sure my steps are correct

1- back up all my crap ( contacts/sms/mms etc...)

2- download the version

3- use Rom Manager to install it

Is it recommended to wipe all data, cache etc...if I am upgrading to a updated version of a current rom?

Like I said..total noob but I am learning.

Thanks again everyone for all the useful info in this thread!
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
i always recommend

• a clean install (after full wipe)

• make sure everything is a go - if so nan backup for clean base

• then add from there, including all your 'crap'
[EVO 4G Android Development] Andy0682:
lol dont know how i never saw that...got it thank!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Stajdanley:
From what I found when this happens there are only two causes: 1-your battery is less than 70% or whatever Amon recommends or 2- There is not enough space on your SD card to store the backup. In my case, the SD card was pretty much full and I hadn't realized it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
When it's less than 70%? That's a pretty steep requirement. I'd set it around 40%.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
It should work. I have flashed several mods and add-ons on top of rls5 beta. Thing is, anything I have flashed that messed with the notification bar at all (battery, clear, semi-clear, toggles, etc) ....it will mess with a few things. Like the 4g toggle might change to a different icon and may or may not work.

I'd for sure give it a go, it will be ok, but might want to take a bit to explore rls5 "naked" so you know what gets changed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Stajdanley:
Yeah, that's why I said whatever Amon recommends... I couldn't remember exactly what it was...

From his OP: "Make sure your battery is at least 30% before using nandroid!!"

There you go. Nice and accurate ;)
