Titanium Back and Bluetooth

I did ask this tiB question else where but figured I would give a it a try here too...(in a simpler form)

Does TiB backup photos (DCIM folder contents)? I realize this is simple and perhaps dumb but I have run it a few times in the past with no errors or loss. When I went from 5.12 to 6.4, which I wiped phone clean first as told to do, it took a LONG time to get SMS/CALL info back and it never restored my DCIM folder

Main Question: The reason I even updated serendipity was a hope of getting a Bluetooth error fixed. EVERY time I turn it on I get this "The Application OPP (process com.android.bluetooth) has stopped unexpectedly..." force close error. I hoped it would be resolved with the update...any help?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdahgary:

trying to install my first rom

Ok, I've been trying to install serendipity and I've been doing research for months now on flashing and what not. There's so many ways to go about all this I just don't know which is best or easiest. I can't seem to get odin to flash me back to 2.1 so I'm taking a break today. What if I just use rom manager from the market to flash it, would that screw me up?? That seems too easy compared to all the steps other threads say. Also, is resetting my phone back to factory the same as using odin?? I'm currently using 2.2 rooted. Thanks if anyone can help.

I feel slightly dumb for having to ask this, but is there any way to remove homescreens so you don't have to have all 7?

I'd prefer to only have 3, or at most 5. I find myself never using 7, even with several widgets and shortcuts. So having several empty homescreens seems pointless, especially since it makes the wallpaper changes from screen to screen very minute, much to my dismay.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryman27:
The easiest way for you to accomplish that would be to install ADW.Launcher from the market.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetpuck73:
Or Launcher Pro.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The.Se7enth:
Eh. Either way's too much work personally. I like the appearance of the launcher that comes with Serendipity, rather not bother installing another application just to modify it. I'll just deal with having several empty homescreens instead.

I am having the same problem. First installed 6.2 and got the bluetooth opp force close error but all the other bluetooth services seem to work OK, I just can't transfer files. I updated to 6.4 and no change. I decided to just try and reflash 6.4 over itself since I was planning to odin anyways. Still didn't work. I odin and tried it with the stock rom and bluetooth works just fine so I install 6.4 and back comes the bluetooth fc error. I didn't do a master clear since the bluetooth worked fine after the odin flash. Any ideas? I have seen several ppl on here with the same problem. I like Serendipity and really don't want to have to use stock to have working bluetooth.

I think I'm having the same issue.

It the MMS home (viewing all threads), the pictures for the contacts do not show up and clicking on them leads me to the SIM contact page for that contact, with just the name and the number. However, if I click on the message thread itself, the contacts have pictures and clicking on them leads me to their contact page on my phone, with the associated Facebook, Gmail etc..

This occurred with I tried CM7 briefly and then reflashed back to 6.4 (after going back to stock).

hello! I am completely new to android.

I followed the instruction on how to install serendipity 7. I managed to do it perfectly until flashing the Kernel. After that, I have placed the serendipity_vii_build_1.zip on the root folder of my SD card. after running the CWM, i chose "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip on sdcard", however, I can not see the rom I saved, nor any of the folders in the sdcard. it seems like my sdcard has not been read, and those folders that appear are those in my phone. whenver I choose "external_sd" or "sd", "no files found" appears on the screen. any solution?
