If you want to use one app to backup everything you can try "sprite backup".

I use it to backup application settins, sms, email, contacts, calendar and a few other things between rom changes.

Hi. I deleted TW luncher and I can't do anything on phone...

I want to copy tw luncher to system/apk but I can't...

I used adb and it was copied but it don't save at system/apk...

How can I do it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xan:
Well.. I guess you got /system in r/o mode.

busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

then adb push or cp to /system/app/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk

It just cannot *not* work.

can you long press your desktop and add a shortcut to the market? if so download a new launcher. Adw is my preference.

update.zip

Hi,

Maybe you can create an update.zip and flash it in 2e or CWM - does the phone show up as a disk drive when you connect it to you PC?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ngenhit:
Factory reset your phone.

Before that, You can do /data backup and /dbdata backup if u have CWM or any other 'custom' kernel.

Restoring data and dbdata alone wont lose you any data. Do just an 'advanced restore' of data and dbdata. Not the 'system'.

Greetings

Do I need to have my Samsung galaxy s rooted in order to apply the lagfix? I updated to froyo 2.2 but not ready to root yet based on the different flavours of roms and ways to root this phone along with the current issues some have been facing.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vuedesprit:
i know it's a repeated question but i really want to know the difference btw all backup ways, so i hear about:

-CWM backup

-nandroid backup

-titanium backup

-and i guess that rom manager have a rom backup

can we know what is advantage, disadvantage of each type, and what can one type do the other cant.

and lets say i installed a rom, kernel, root, soff, CWM, apps, settings for apps, widgets and all custom settings, is there a way to backup all of them, so next time i did a factory reset i can get restore by one file restore (used to do that in winmo by one file backup)

[Droid 2 Global General] Vexorg:
Hello,

I'm just curious what people are running because I'm currently using fission 2.4.3 and I'm looking for something else. So what are you running on your D2G?
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
That's all there is on the d2g right now, that and stock. I personally wouldn't go back to stock even if they paid me.
[Droid 2 Global General] rogerdugans:
Not a lot of options for us yet, so Fission here as well.

Fortunately Fission is not only far better than stock it also seems pretty good, period. :)

Before I put Fission on mine I was slightly regretting getting the new one: my Droid is better than the stock D2G- and 50Mhz faster too.

With Fission- yeah, the hardware junkie part of me may not be able to do too much yet, but the phone IS smoother and faster than the heavily modified Droid- and has global capability.

We will get more roms to choose from before long, I'm sure.
[Droid 2 Global General] Angdroid:
What's Fission missing that you are looking for?

Talk to me...I can help ;)
[Droid 2 Global General] Vexorg:
Its not that its really missing anything. I used the blackout theme and really enjoyed the rom. But I was having battery /heat issues I'm not really sure why but it seems like it is not a common problem.

Last night I went back to the stock rom because of it.
[Droid 2 Global General] TwoBuells:
Before my D2G I had (still have) my Droid 1. It was running Chevy01 Simply Stunning ROM. One cool feature of his rom was music controls with the screen off.

With screen off

Camera Button was Pause/Play

Volume up and down is stock but long press of volume up is next track and long press of volume down is previous track

AngDroid, what do you think, maybe something in the future?:D
[Droid 2 Global General] phillybizzle:

[Droid 2 Global General] TWOTx1503:

[Droid 2 Global General] Currentweb:
I heard that Tranquility was coming... Droid 2 Global is getting seriously overlooked.

Oh, and on a completely unrelated note, how do I get past "Junior Member"? Some number of posts I'm assuming? Makes me feel like a n00b to see Junior whenever I post :)
[Droid 2 Global General] Friednug:
I'm using fission w/ the third eye theme and loving it. Was able to get things pretty much how and where I want them with just the theme and launcher pro.
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
I am running stock, yes I know - boring.

But I love that dialer which has both portrait and landscape modes and lookup mode, damn it is good (one thing well done Motorola!) I wish we could port it out as independent app. Another thing I like in stock rom is the car doc/desk dock apps. Launcher isn't that bad either.
[Droid 2 Global General] frasej:
Help! I tried Liberty and it got stuck in airplane mode.

I reinstalled the original ROM but parts of Liberty still seem to be in the system as when I boot I get the Liberty logo before it moves on to the stock ROM logo.

Someone please tell me where I can get a good stock ROM and how to USB push it to my phone. Liberty must be mucking up my phone as dialer won't stay open.

Anyone... Please...:confused:

Huge thanks to HomerSP of team villain, who has now reached a total of 1112 legend points.

This ROM is a mish-mash of Vanilla Gingerbread & CM7, and is compiled from the latest CyanogenMod 7 sources. It will be regularly maintained with the latest commits from the CM guys, and our own VillainROM tweaks and changes. This ROM is starting to take shape, and differing from the stock CM7 build.

Anyway, before we begin - I'd like to thank the entire CyanogenMod team for the epic and consistently BRILLIANT work, for without it, this, and many other ROMs would not be possible. Well done guys - You deserve all the credit. I'd also like to thank Ninpo for his CM6.1 work, and the rest of the VillainROM developers & staff (Pulser, HomerSP, Kendon, Shen, Lenny, Acolwill, dmzda, Revoked, McDuck, etc)

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:

To flash this ROM, you will NEED to have ClockworkMod 3.0 installed, which manages EXT4 partitions. If at any stage you need to revert back to a Froyo ROM, you will need to reflash /boot into CWM 2.X via Fastboot.

1. Download ClockworkMod 3.0 from here

2. Boot the phone into Fastboot mode by holding Volume Down and pressing power

3. From terminal/command prompt, type:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

OR... alternatively, just fastboot boot into CWM 2.X to revert to a Froyo backup.

4. Boot into recovery (adb reboot recovery ... or Hold camera and press power)

5. Perform a FULL DATA/CACHE WIPE (only if coming from Froyo)

6. Install Zip from SD Card, and select GingerVillain1.4-signed.zip

1.4 Known Bugs:

1. Enabling screen on/off animations and OC/UV at the same time causes lag when trying to turn the screen on. The animations work fine without overclock... so it's oone or the other right now I'm afraid.

Download links are HERE!

If you're a fan of the ROM.. thank us with a 5 star rating! :)

Is this the only known issue? More specifically, does kineto wifi calling work or have the kernel hooks not been implemented yet?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] epeets:
You know Cyanogen already talked about this before and apparently you didn't read it or get the message that this is what being on an Open OS system is about. Please read around or at least think before you snap at people for no reason.

+1
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
Wow, just stop, lol. If people feel like donating for the things OUTSIDE of the CM stuff in here, then that's great. This isn't just cm7 compiled from source, labeled GingerVillain, and saying "Donate plzzzz"

Honestly, I've been using the other cm7 builds, but WOW. This build is SUPER smooth, at only 806mhz!! It's definitely going to be a keeper if it maintains this. Don't know about battery, obviously, but for anyone who has been using the other ones .. the modifications by Villain definitely make this thing fly. No DSP though, or StatusBar widgets, before people ask. :)

wi-fi problems?

Just flashed it. Looks great! However, when I turn on wifi to setup my Google account, restore apps, etc., it stays on for a few seconds (won't show any of the open networks in my building) then just turns off.

Also Twitter sync doesn't work (try to sync Twitter with existing contacts but it automatically switches to option back to 'Don't Sync')

Anyone else having this problem or know a solution?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sheek360:
reboot has fixed this for me in the past

are there any screenshots for this? i may just wait for the official cm7, need a great daily driver
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
I can't tell ya what ROM to run, obviously, but to me, this is leaps and bounds beyond the ones that are just direct/simply cm7 builds, as those have no real enhancements. This build, runs amazing actually. Screen shots, it's really just stock vanilla. The only thing different, is the background. Just head to the other Villain ROM (senseless) threads, and you'll see what the bg/boot animation look like.

Also comes pre-packed with GB keyboard, along with GB launcher. Smokin' fast.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tuzonghua:
The reboot fixed the wifi problem. Thanks! Twitter still won't sync (and after reboot, asked for user/pass again). Any thoughts?

btw the last post the one on the other page wasnt from me and my bro use the same computer and didnt log off and he didnt sign in to his account and was using mine
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ganii:
Yes,because I came from another ROM and first tried to flash the

new recovery but don`t work and seems problems with

old recovery and/or old ROM Manager.

It don`t overwrite the old recovery!

So first I flashed the ROM,then it works!

Mount system and data first,then flash gapps!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Lennyuk:
Those of you still unable to use fastboot.

Gfree s-off only gives you radio s-off. In order to use fasboot you need an engineering hboot aka hboot s-off (the old way pre gfree). Make sure you flash the correct image there is one for the g2 and a differnt one for the z.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Caid444:
home, back, menu, search, camera button not working.

I bought my d-z in China, and successfully flashed this rom onto my phone.

I've previously flashed cyanogen's earlier roms (2.2) on my phone and had to use the button remap zip file to get the hardware buttons to work on the face of the phone.

Previously, before the zip was installed, the buttons would only vibrate if pressed. The problem I'm facing now is, I can't get those buttons to work again, and this time they don't even vibrate after installing the rom. They are completely unresponsive.

The camera button is also very touchy. If I press and hold it, it will vibrate on and off the whole time, in irregular intervals.

I would very much like to use this rom, and get a feel for what the cooks've done with it, but facing this problem, I'm completely at a stand still with it.

If someone here has had a similar issue and has a fix for it, I'd be greatly appreciative.

Thanks in advance.

I remember trying to fix my problem by flashing a fix,but it didnt work. Then, I downloaded v2 I reffered at in my post, but mounted /data and /system before flashing, and it fixed the touch button issue, and I guess it's the mount that did the trick.
