Has anybody managed to get it to work on 2.2.1 rom yet ?
I no more people that are trying as well.

Since this is a SE system app I think you need to pull with adb, maybe it works.

You cant restore the CM7 system apps to devoid final. You can restore the apps/games that you downloaded to the devoid final though titanium backup. Just dont restore apps like google maps/talk/ etc which comes preinstalled.
PS: hows the devoid final rom ?
That's right, Use Titanium Backup. I haven't flashed void.final yet because of all the hassle of restoring apps and data.
Firs things first... use Titanium Backup or something similar along with you nand backups. This should make restoring apps easy. Run the backup batch and then the restore batch on the new rom. I do not recommend restoring system data, it may cause faults in the system, especially when going from 2.2 to 2.3 and back.
So, man, restore the nand backup of your CM7, use Titanium Backup batch, re-flash your void.final and then restore the Titanium Backups. That should do it. This procedure is a must if you want to test custom roms, or just flash often.
Cheers!

Mate, better get used to Titanium Backup, it's a life saver if you like modding.
Word of advice: update your backups, and (this is an important one) backup (copy on HDD) your Titanium backups (you can find them on /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/)!

Yeah. Getting Pro with better scheduling (plus Dropbox sync) is worth it, IMHO. Also, the backups are much faster with Pro.

Ah, you mean SMS/MMS... Well, dunno about Titanium. I am backing them up via GO SMS Pro; never liked the stock messaging app really. It can do scheduled backups (binary/XML, full/incremental) and even send the backups to your email.
i will try SMS Backup and Restore from market. if it does not work, i'll try yours! thanks for ur time man and all of u there who shared his time answering my questions!
What's the difference between doing a NANDROID backup and having a copy of the stock rom on your PC to flash via ODIN? I went from stock to CM7 without making a backup and instead got a copy of the stock on my pc.
i'am a n00b here......
but i think nandroid backup is save EVERYTHING on the internal memory......
including installed apps, contact, message......

I think the same too.
NANDROID backup backups everything on your internal memory,you apps,settings,data,your rom,everything.By telling having a copy of the rom on your PC,I think you mean that you have a copy of the firmware on your PC.Its not the same at all,where is the data and all your apps?NANDROID can do that
Or you could take individual copies of all of your apps and setting using titanium backup.

Thanked for the info. And yeah, I have a copy of the firmware on the PC and all my apps and settings backed up by Titanium. So I'm guessing I should make a back up as soon as I get back to my stock rom just in case, right? And what if I decide to make a copy of the CM7 I'm using now instead of the stock rom? Does it work the same?

Thanx for that info,i had assumed before that it wouldnt work as cyanogenmod and stock have different builds
I have unnamed ROM on my phone now. I want to jump into ICS, but I had a question regarding backups.
I have a nandroid backup, I have a MyBackup backup of all my contacts, sms, mms, apps and data, that kind of thing. I have plugged the phone into the PC and physically copied and pasted the entirety of the internal and external memory to my PC.
Is there ANYTHING else I can do to make this as painless as possible? The new ROM will undoubtedly call for a complete wipe and reinstall.
Is there any way to make a bit-by-bit image of the phone before I start, so that if I don't like it or it doesn't work, I can just go back to exactly the way it was before I started? Or am I asking too much?

That's pretty much what a NANDROID backup is as long as it doesn't get corrupted.

that's kind of what I thought, I ran it twice (one to internal one to external) just in case.
Once the phone's charged I'm off to the races I guess.
Might I suggest that you save your NANDROID backups to your computer? That would be a good precautionary step. They are under /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup or something like that.
Have you ever heard of Titanium Backup?
NVM you need nandroid haha
Careful about replacing system data from one rom to another with MyBackup! That stuff doesn't end well.

1.) Copy Nandroid back to your PC along with your Titanium Backup files.
2.) Run the MD5 file through a checker (I use QuickPar) to confirm the backup is not corrupted
3.) Backup your SMS with a market tool of your choosing
4.) Remember your settings and whatnot
5.) Make sure you have any flashable scripts you use availaable to reflash if you're using them on the new ROM.
6.) FLASH new ROM, then use Titanium Backup to install your APPS (not system stuff). Restore your texts, then flash whatever other junk you want back.
7.) ENJOY
I have seen members saying that nandroid backup is like the first thing to do before flashing/rooting etc.
I want to ask, how important is nandroid backup for our device? I read somewhere that its nearly impossible to brick your rezound as long as its S-ON, so is nandroid backup still important?
Thing is, my memory card slot is not working and there isn't a way to backup nandroid. Was thinking of flashing some ROMs.
Nandroid are like restore points, if you mess something up you can always go back. It's a must for frequent rom flashing unless you like losing all your data every time you mess something up and end up running an RUU to get it back to working order. Idk if it's possible to maybe have the nandroid save on your internal storage.
Also look on the play store, I remember seeing someone make an app that will do a nandroid backup to cloud.. While the device is booted.

If I make a backup with TWRP, can I restore it if needed using AmonRa?
Thanks for the replies.

I don't know about TWRP and AmonRa, but I do know that TWRP and CWM didn't like each other the last time I tried, which was a couple months ago for a friend. I had to do a different backup using TWRP because it would not read the previous backup properly, which was made with CWM.
EDIT: I did find that Amon Ra can restore CWM backups.
