I'm using daniels wildpuzzle on 2.1. Just wondering the easiest way to remove stock apps without any force closes. Even if I could only remove a few. Obviously these Alps have dependants. So I would like to remove as many as possible but keeping phone stable without any errors in the logcat etc.

Thanks

Hi,

couple of days ago I partiotioned my sd card by rom manager (created an ext partiotion).. since i did that, i cant take photos ("Unable to save file to SD card due to insufficient permissions"), and i cant use nandroid backup (cant save on the sd card)..

what should i do? format the sd card and flash rom?

tnx :).

Hi everyone,

I'm pretty confused of the difference between a nandroid backup and Titanium backup.

My understanding is:

nandroid = kind of a restore point for the phone with all system, apps and user data.

Titanium backup = same thing, but with options to choose what to back up.

So why do you need 2 of the same thing if they both perform exactly the same thing? Eventually, we'll probably be using the backup to restore those datas in case we want to flash new ROMs.

Am I missing something here?

Thank you for the info!
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zervic:
You don't need two of the same thing. I haven't used titanium but nandroid is a, if you will, what-you-see-is-what-you-get backup....what I mean by this is it will back up your phone in the exact state it is...you can't choose to exclude this or that, etc. I prefer mybackup pro because the one time I used titanium I couldn't figure out what to do cuz the GUI was so scrub. That's just me tho.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blindfusion:
I think the main difference is that nandroid will restore everything back the way it was through recovery. With Titanium Backup, you can backup your apps+data and restore them if you flash a new ROM. So like if you upgrade to the latest version of CM6 or Liberated, you can carry your apps over. If you restore the nandroid, it will restore the old ROM too.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emigre:
Thanks for the response guys.

@blindfusion: I think you just pointed out the main difference there. I didn't think of it that way, the old ROM would also be flashed!

@zervic: Now I think I'll need to get my hands on a backup app. Will check out backup Pro!

Thanks again!
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FZ1Darren:
under nandroid/advanced restore, there's an option to restore data. not sure how it differs from titanium. i think titanium let's you pick the apps to back up. nandroid just backs up everything.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emigre:
So does nandroid also give us the option to restore data (ie. Saved apps, datas, etc) under advanced without flashing the old ROM back in?

For example if i were to flash a newer ROM (FR007 for instance), then i'd be able to have access and restore ALL the backed up data in nandroid? And have a newer version of the OS?

Am i missing something here? I guess i just want to keep my aria light and avoid installing apps i absoloutely do not need. To keep it zippy and maintain precious internal memory.

Thanks again everyone!
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FZ1Darren:
that's how i've restored apps/data after updating rom.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emigre:
Thanks for the confirmation Darren!
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidlover123:
Just to confirm that means that if I use titanium backup, it can backup the exact same things as Nandroid backup but you can use it for your new ROM?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtnlion:
No titanium backs up app and their data only.nandroid is a full system image.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STaria:
Always make both before flashing a new ROM. If everything goes according to plan, run Titanium to restore all your apps into the new ROM. If something goes wrong, you can use Nandroid to restore your phone to pre-flash state.

Also, you should copy the Nandroid file to your computer. If your phone is ever lost or stolen and you get a new one, you can restore it to your old phone's image.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seboj:
NANDroid backup is a complete image of your phone: the OS, apps, data, everything. So if you screw up your phone, like making it unbootable, or accidentally wiping it clean, you can restore the image and everything will be back to the way it was when you did the backup.

Titanium Backup is an app in your OS that backs up other apps, their data, and some system data / user settings. It's usually used, for example, for restoring apps and their data after a clean install, where you've wiped everything clean.

The two options are fundamentally different, but do have some overlap.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unsivil_audio:
I've never got nandroid backup to work for me personally. Always comes up, "backup not found".
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentsigma:
glad i read this thread. it clear up a lot of questions i have.

the only other question i want to ask is what is difference between ClockWorkMod and Nandroid backup?

I heard CWM is an Nandroid backup so does this mean Nandroid backup is a general term for system back up ? or is it an actual program?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
You heard wrong about ClockworkMod. ClockworkMod is a recovery. Nandroid backup is not an actual program, but a backup of your entire system which can be done through ClockworkMod (it's an option).
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentsigma:
thanks. that answer all of my backup questions.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orb3000:
Thread moved to Q&A
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dissaor:
Sorry still unclear for me, so if i have CWM i will go to recovery and there i can performe the backup right?

that copies the nandroid to my Sd card? and that image is flasheable image? is that correct? sorry if any of those is a stupid question :S

Edit: Nevermind, i found a guide here that is good for newbies like me, but thanks anyway :D
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferns_mccanus:
Sorry for necro'ing this thread, but at least it's better than making a new one! :)

From what I've read in this thread, I understand a bit better about the difference.

I've also read that it's important to save nandroid back up on PC in case you lose your phone.

Therein lies my next 2 questions.

1. If I want to use a nandroid backup on the replacement, it should be exactly the same phone, otherwise there might be a problem with the compatibility of the ROM stored in the nandroid and the phone. Right?

2. If I want to use a titanium backup on the replacement, I can use it on any phone, except I should not restore the SYSTEM apps. Right?

If (2) is correct, then we should also keep a titanium backup on the PC?

Part of my reason is also, I plan to switch from Desire HD to SGS3 and I hope to keep both pretty similar with slightly different interface. I plan to root my SGS3 and use titanium to restore some things from my DHD to SGS3. Using a nandroid on the new SGS3 will be a FATAL mistake right?

I know this is not a DHD forum, but the technicalities are the same, so I hope it's no offense asking these questions here!

---------- Post added at 01:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------

Oops forgot to add!

I'm using 4ext instead of CWM. In a brief reading, I've found that 4ext has it's own backup which is not nandroid. But backing up from 4ext is the same as doing a nandroid backup? In which case, every "nandroid" in the earlier post can just be replaced with "4ext backup" accordingly.

If this is a stupid question, just scold me, I'm still learning and asking as I'm reading. Just trying not to create new threads. :)
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
1. Correct. Its highly likely that there will be issues (device won't boot) on almost every occasion.

2. Yes. You may also want to exclude "app data," since it may cause a bootloop or system instability (on some occasions). You could keep a Tb backup if you wish.

It won't be a fatal mistake, but the device will just not boot up (soft-brick). You would have to boot into recovery mode a restore/flash a rom made for the device.

Yes, that's correct.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patricia10:
Confused a little :(

ok so if a use nandroid for backing up my phone image (i.e. OS, apps, settings) and then flash a new rom.... do i still have to go back to nandroid to redeem my settings?? if so then will the old rom be redeemed too?? :eek: :confused:
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dansou901:
Yes. As posted earlier in this thread: Nandroid backups are full system images. To restore them, you restore the whole system, so your old ROM. If you want to get the old apps to a new ROM, you should use Titanium Backup which backups only apps and the settings / data of these apps. Afetr installing your new ROM alongside Titanium Backup, you can decide to restore only the apps or the data / settings of the apps as well.

i have another question. My phone was freezing up randomly and I could not figure out the reason. The only thing changed was a new charger for my s5. So, I did a nandroid and titanium backup.

SO, my question to you guys is, if I had a freeze up problem and want to start fresh and keep all my apps and data, on the same rom, is there a difference between restoring with titanium versus nandroid in trying to resolve my previous freezing problem?

[Droid Pro General] elmemyself:
Hello guys,

Last week I have purchased on eBay what is for me the most awaited phone of all time :). It was pretty expensive and I also had to pay another 120€ to the customs, but I don't regret it...

I am still getting used to the mobile & Android, but I would like to make 2 questions:

1- My 3g isn't working, GSM calls + SMS are working fine, but I cannot access any data, do I have to update any APN details ? (and how).

2- I am only offered two options regarding the phone language, En and Spanish, which is fine, but is there anyway I could add Portuguese as input language?

That's it for now, thanks in advance for any replies.
[Droid Pro General] elmemyself:
The thing is that when I browse Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access point names, I don't have any listed and neither I have an option to add a new APN ...
[Droid Pro General] elmemyself:
Ok, I have downloaded an APP from the market called APN Portugal that auto configured the APN details of my carrier (Optimus). Now I would like to know if it is possible to add a phone language/new input languages (keyboard) ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

How did you unlock it? Has it been activated in the US with a Verizon plan before being shipped to Portugal?

Thanks

Fred
[Droid Pro General] elmemyself:
Yes, it was unlocked by the eBay seller using a code provided by Verizon.
[Droid Pro General] fpont1:
@elmemyself: thanks for sharing your experience. Are you able to send/receive MMS in Portugal?
[Droid Pro General] elmemyself:
Hello fpont1,

I am able to receive MMS, but not to send them :(... I get a msg saying that the service isn't activated with the Network.
[Droid Pro General] rafeee2:
Hi man. In the APN screen beside your APN name, is there an icon showing a small lock with a question mark inside?
[Windows Phone 7 General] kharnak:
Hey,

Does anyone know if Windows Phone 7 has an embedded regional code (or operator code) that identifies the source and language of the phone or relevant regional/operator specific applications in future upgrades. for either sim-locked ones and sim-free ones.

For example, if I buy one from UK sim-free, and I use it in Asia, will it upgrade automatically to support a chinese ui or chinese input system at my will or it will judge by the code inherent in it?

Thanks.

Hi guys

I bought a P500 on 25 October and GPS worked fine in that period.

I have been trying to localize my position for two weeks but I didn't succeeded. Apps like Foursquare or Mobile Maps don't work.

Can I hope about a software problem? Could I try to solve the problem with a reset?

Or it's a hardware problem and I have to send my O1 to the assistence?

Sorry for my English
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zecanilis:
But what it don't work?

Doesn't find the GPS?

Or desn't fix position?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cordezz:
How long did you wait after GPS was switched on? Where you outside?

Try the programm "gps status" so that you can see whether it finds really no satellite or if you only have to wait longer for the gps fix.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Gigi1988:
hi guys thanks for the answers

I had problems standing outside with apps like 4sq or layar

This morning I did a reset (from privacy settings) and after that layar and 4sq worked again

After some hours I had issues again and I decided to try the app you suggested me (gps status). I managed to find the satellite and now it works again with 4sq and Layar.

what do you think about my problem?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zecanilis:
Sounds hardware to me!

Just to make the long story short!..I am not too familiar with the android interface and I bought my nexus one (second hand ROOTED) I wanted to try on the rodrigoes MIUI

What I did exactly:

first thing I did a nandroid backup of my fone, then I went to the recovery mode and did a factory reset on the fone.. once that was done, I then did a restore the back up. Here is the problem now....

once the back up was running...it was stuck on this one file for the longest time (about 40-50 mins) I dont know why but I took off the battery and rebooted again...I now have a slow working fone... with most of my apps not working!!! IT WONT GO TO RECOVERY MODE!!!! even my rom manage wont let me do anything...it gives me a error message or hangs up on that screen...should I format my sd??...

Can someone please tell me the step to get my fone back to working condition. I dont mind wiping my fone entirely and starting all over again..and can you also recommend what MIUI should i install (fast and stable) right now i have no preferences.. I JUST WANT MY FONE WORKING BACK !!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks

Quick and easy option.

Download: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Pas...le_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_MFG_Shipment_ROM.zip

Extract the zip file from it, and rename it passimg.zip. Copy that file to the root of your SD card.

Power the phone off, hold Vol- and turn it on, it will prompt you to install the file, choose yes.

Your phone will be back to stock and away you go.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kohli3:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
FRG33 is an odd build, you should get an OTA update to FRG83D at some point, I'd wait till then as your root access will be lost when you get it.

Or you can manually do it, takes two steps. Download this: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Pas...RG83 OTA update, possibly from FRF91 too).zip

Rename it to update.zip and copy it to the root of the SD card, boot into recovery (Vol- with power on and pick recovery), open the menu (Power & Vol+ at the warning triangle) and pick install update.

Then download this: http://android.clients.google.com/p...signed-passion-FRG83D-from-FRG83.ecb21b75.zip and repeat the above process. You're now upto date and root away.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Man of Wax:
When the HBOOT starts it loads the passimg.zip automatically and a blue loading bar appears at the top right. After the blue bar became full it disappear and nothing happens.

My phone still hung on the "X" logo and i'm unable to get into recovery and install any update.zip

What can I do?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
The file is a zip within a zip, did you extract it first, or just rename the file you downloaded?
