Hi! I just flashed CyanogenMOD 7.0.0 RC1 Gingerbread NIGHTLY for the Droid Eris
(Thanks for the ROM !)
But I am having problems with restoring my apps. All the apps says "Download unsuccesful."
Anyone having the same problem?
I had that happen with a few of my apps when I upgraded... I went in the market and they were all listed under my apps so I had to click install manually
Another time I had 2 hang forever at installing and a reboot fixed it.
Hope it helps!
I have always found it best to manage my own apps and not trust Google backup.
I just save the the apks to a folder and reinstall them. (This is also nice for having a variety of apps on hand to choose from and not be taking up space or relying on a data connection. And for archiving things you might forget about.)
Going from 2.2 to 2.3, there are a few idiosyncrasies with restoring data.
If I must have app data saved, I use Titanium Backup, but sparingly; user dictionary, wifi passwords, bookmarks, note everything. That's about it.

Yes, I believe that if you read through the GSB thread in total you will find it is a very common problem. It happened with me as well with 1.2. Each of these installs had a notification; I just clicked them, reinstalled from there, and all was set.
I had this issue for a few apps. Going through manually fixed the issue. Sadly, the keyboard app I was used to using wasn't compatible with Gingerbread, and GPS was flaky, so I switched back to Froyo.
On 1.5 is anyone else having issues with videos from the gallery and YouTube not playing from time to time? Have to reboot to get it back working.

I was wondering what the best rom is for the Eris? I am currently running xtrsence. No complaints on current rom, just wanted to know if there is a better one out there.

Totally personal preference. Lots and lots of great ROMs built by some very talented and dedicated developers.
Take advantage of your ability to do Nandroid backups and restores and try several out. You'll learn a ton and still be able to restore back to your last setup in just a few minutes.
Cheers!
What is the easiest way to restore your apps to a new rom? Titanium? I have already done a nandroid backup before I installed xtr, do I need to do another or just backup current rom?
I use My Backup Pro, most people seem to like Titanium Backup better but I'm not sure what the difference is between the 2. This is my own personal preference but for a rom I would either suggest Workshed's GB Rom, or Tazz's Gingerbread Rom. I'm running Tazz's rom myself and it's flawless, Tried out Workshed's rom too and it runs just as smooth.
Is it version 26 for the tazz gingerbread rom, or do you have a link for it?

I'm still kinda new to rooting, roms, etc. but I've been using kaosfroyo v39 for a week or two and love it. I tried LauncherPro and the phone operates much faster and smoother than it ever did with Sense.
I am thinking about trying a gingerbread rom, though. Any suggestions?

Well personally I like worksheds rom. Regardless of which one you get you can always install launcher pro and make it your default home launcher.

This is in response to the inquiry about how to backup and restore your apps from one ROM to another freshly flashed ROM. I use My Backup, too. I've used both that and Titanium Backup a lot and in my experience, TB is just not as reliable. Some apps would get restored but not the app's settings. Not talking about system apps, just regular apps. Personally, that was at least half the reason I wanted to restore the backups, so I wouldn't have to configure my apps from scratch again.
I have tried going back and forth between the two backup apps every once and a while after many version updates to TB, but I always found reason enough to go back to My Backup. Up to perhaps several months ago, My Backup was a lot slower than TB due to My Backup zipping the backup, but it was more reliable so I still used it. They've sped it up quite a bit now, though, so now it's no contest in my mind.
There really is no single best ROM, it's a lot of personal preference and what you lllike to have in a ROM. I personally love GSB because not only is it the latest version of Android available, but it's totally stable after just a handful of releases, helps a lot with battery life, and is extremely smooth and fast.

That's interesting, as a long time ago I has purchased a license for MyBackup Pro - months before I rooted, I think - but had long ago stopped using it. However, I decided to try it again with CELB a couple of weeks ago, and tried using it to reinstall all of my apps and data in GSB (I chose not to sign in to Google at the initial setup so I could install my apps myself, rather than wait for the to sync, when I installed 1.3).
Anyway, after the restore was done, it turned out that MBP had skipped several apps, without any sort of notification why. I then used TB to restore the missing apps.
This may have been an anomaly, and I'd like to try it again, but for now I have both apps firing off while I'm sleeping.

I actually just had my first problem ever with MBP. I flashed to one of the GB themes yesterday and when I used MBP to restore my apps it restored all of them. The problem with this is that I only checked the box for about 5 or 6 of them to install and installed all 25 of them lol.
I can't seem to find workshed roms. Any suggestions?

Okay, I have the Samsung Captivate and anytime I flash a new ROM I install everything from scratch. I recently upgraded to ICS... now my wife wants it on her i9100. Installing from scratch wouldn't normally be an issue but she has like 100+ apps, most of them games and such and I don't care to go through and write them all down to re-install and also hope that they don't need saved information. If anyone has any (free) backup tools that can do what I need, please let me know. The only I've ever heard of is Titanium and when I used it once on my Captivate it didn't work with restoring everything.
hey there,
you tried Titanium before ... it´s the one solution I would use for this task; as you know it will show you the apps it wasn´t able to restore and you can install them from the market after that.
normaly I use MIUI Backup for this, but since you want stock ICS you have to use another app.
Yep use titanium backup, if you flash cm9, it might be a bit tricky, I had to use the free version of titanium backup, the pro didn't work, also it sometimes freezed sobi had to reboot, also ics rom's for sgs2 have lots of bugs

ICS issues eh? Then maybe I'll wait a month or so, she's just anxious to get the same capabilities that I do, because on the Captivate ICS has made it so smooth I feel like it's a brand new phone.
Our ics roms are not something I would subject a spouse to unless they are a fan of Android tweaking, there not really stable and likely to cause problems, only really for advanced users.

So I just flashed the MIUI Alpha 4 rom from the Development forums and was restoring everything from Titanium Backup when I ran into a problem. When I restored my system data it restored all of my messages as well (it says 700~, but I think it is more) and now I can't open the app. It just immediately force closes when I try. I have tried rebooting to no avail, so does anyone else have advice? And I know it is my fault for backing up my texts, they weren't important but I didn't think it would hurt.
Also, a little off topic from the rest of the post, but is there a way to restore all of my previously downloaded apps without going through each one individually and giving it permission to install? I have nearly 100 apps and its just annoying to go through each one haha.

Hey there XDA X2 Community, you are lovely today! Aside from that I have another question for you Masters of the X2! I have gotten the flashing bug; I want to try all of these awesome ROMS at least once. I have only tried CM7.2 BETA(Current) and MIUI 4 BETA. In the few flashes I have done I have had to wipe my data, and this isn't an issue, but it is annoying having to go and redownload the apps I once had. I would think to fix this would be to move all of my apps to the External SD. Is this right? If so, what's a good way of doing it quickly? Thank you all!
And how do I set my signature?!
Hello! Restoring your apps and data through an app like Titanium Backup can often cause issues. Things might not work correctly. You can sometimes get away with just restoring the market apps without the data, but it's generally not a good idea. The best idea (IMHO) would be to have a clean install of the apps on a new ROM. Try app list backup (free app). That should help with the process, and alleviate some of the annoyance.
In regards to your signature, use the drop down menu at the top of the screen labeled Quick Links. Under User Control Panel, you should see Edit Signature. If you don't see it, that just means you haven't hit the amount of posts needed to apply a signature.
I use the paid version of Titanium Backup and do not have any problems. I have went from Eclipse to CM7 and back to Eclipse using the same backups.
When using the free version I had TB freeze up on CM7 when selecting multiple apps to restore. I had to do them one at a time. But even with that, I didn't have problems with the apps or data.
Thank you both! I will definitely try TiBu but in the mean time I guess I'll be okay loosing everything lol. It's all good in the hood!
And I found my signature!

Titanium backup in cm7 sometimes dies not load BUT if you stop the app via Manage Apps it will. I use the paid version also, and really trust in it. I always get it to work. They also have great tutorials and support.
