currently im using DJ05 and have the super red evolution theme from nijitsu.
I've been having a few issues lately, one being that swype no longer works and for the life of me i can't get the new beta installed. I've tried wiping the old swype data with tibu and then deleted it, and used root explorer to remove any traces of SWYPE left that were found, i do a reboot and i still can't install the swype beta. it just goes to install and says DID NOT INSTALL.
i figured i might as well upgrade to EB01 now and hopefully the issue will be resolved after upgrading.
questions are:
i have the green version of CWM, do i NEED the red version to upgrade? if so, where can i find a working link for that version? i've tried searching all over this board and they all point back to the link that is down.
2) do i HAVE to do a complete battery wipe? i have tons of apps and stuff i want to keep. Can i use tibu to completely back those up, so after i wipe clean and install the new rom, i can just restore those apps and keep all the settings and saved games?
Sorry, these are pretty noobish questions. Thanks for all the help!
Some help
I'm still kinda new to the process, but...
Here's Adrenylyne's CWM Red. Dunno if you need it to flash EB01

As far as the back-up goes you should be able to run a Nandroid back-up from Recovery boot. That combined with an app back-up with your app-manager should cover everything.
Higher-ups plz correct nething I got wrong...kthnxbai
okay, will i need the pro version of titanium backup? or will the free version work?
i just want to make sure all my contacts are backed up, my text messages, and all my apps i downloaded and paid for.. i have the free version of titanium backup, and i hit BACKUP on all of those. I just want to make sure once i wipe everything and install fresh, i can download titanium backup and just restore them with the free version
Run backup assistant for contacts, or if you have them saved via google... not sure about the titanium thing, never used it. Easiest way to get to eb01 is the odin all in one package, does all the wiping for you and there are several versions to choose from. Check development section on droidforums

Hi all,
So, I gave this HTC Aria to my girlfriend with Liberated 2.1 installed. She ran into some troubles, why I asked her to install the new liberated 2.2 version from this forum. I backed up the phone with nandroid. I told her how to wipe and install the new software over the phone.
Now she started it and all the apps, texts and documents are gone.
What can I do to get it back on an easy way? Restoring only the DATA-part of the backup from nandroid didn't work. Will a full restore get her back to 2.1 or will it implement here data and apps into 2.2?
Is reinstalling the 2.1 ROM and restoring afterwards a possibility to get her back to status quo?
Thanks so much in advance!
restore her backup which will take her back to 2.1 with all her data. Go to app market and download my backup root. Pick what you want to back up. Then delete cache and data and install 2.2. Go download my backup root and click restore. Now restore your data and most of the data will be there after the phone reboot besides the android settings, sometimes clock alarms, and bookmarks.
Signatures are fancy.
Wow, sounds great!
Thank you very much!!!
No problem
Signatures are fancy.
Ok, problem solved, which should've been asked in the Q&A thread by the way.
First off, I have to say that this is an awesome rom. But as soon as I flashed it, The market no longer remembered my downloads. How do i properly use Titanium back up and so forth? is there a step-by-step guide on using stuff and how does cwr work when you flash a recovery.
Not sure how you use TB, but if you flash a backup, it was like you never left. So you should be able to restore the backup and then backup your apps.
I believe you just go into TB and save just your downloaded apps.
fast question
if u have read my other threads let me recall because i though i had fix my problem, but like an idiot i went into recovery without flashing cwm so i lost everything again.
So,
i have flash back stock honeycomb 3.2
when i try to restore a backup (that was made on 3.1), it goes down to 3.1 and crash when i try to update to 3.2 to then update to 4.0.4
so i decided to flash 4.0.4 (stock ICS from sammobile) and reinstall all my apps one by one
But,
i still have my backup, my ICS is now rooted and flashed with cwm
i want to know, if after installing all my apps, i go into recovery and try to do an advance restore of data only, will it work ?
am sorry to be a pain in the ass with all my questions, i couldnt find the anwser
I think the answers were there in your original thread but you are looking for an easier way to go. I am not sure there is one. Since the hard way requires restoring fully your honeycomb install you may as well try data restore from nandroid first, hopefully it works out well.
I'm not experienced in using nandroid backups for partial data restores, titanium is better suited for that. To me, nandroid is for full system restore.
So again, if all else fails the best option is to restore the honeycomb nandroid, make sure that the device is rooted, install titanium, run full backup, backup all files off of sd to your computer via usb (your nandroid, your photos, your titanium backups , etc) and then update back to the system you want. Once back to ICS you can install your apps, root, install titanium and restore data for the apps you need. Be careful with this, obviously there are compatibility issues between the two systems.

The only way to restore only your apps is like the post above, you had to install titanium backup like i said in the PM i sended you, and then backup all your apps with titanium backup, save everything to your PC via USB cable and then install another ROM... so... i know it's very annoying and very hard.... but my opinion is to restore your nandroid backup (full system restore) download Titanium backup from google play, backup your data, and in case you deleted your nandroid, make a new one!!
But there could be compatibility problems when you backup your data what causes errors...
It's a pain in the ass to do it, but it's the only way i guess...
Bah, i dont feel like flashing again, ill start over my nfs hot pursuit, reckless getaway and jewel maze. i wasnt playing much with the other games installed
I remember that i did a nandroid backup cause i found it was more user friendly to create a full backup at the time i did it than with titanium.
Thanks for your help
Yah lessons learned. We've all learned them too . . nandroid is great for jumping between systems or for reverting to a clean one but it's not so great for restoring apps/data to or from differing systems; for that it's usually best to install apps clean and restore data via titanium.
I make it a habit now of doing both and saving both to an external device (either a usb flash drive or to my PC) prior to moving systems.
Rooted my gnote i717. I have superSU, ROM manager (clockwork mod?) (are they the same?) and titanium backup. If I want to get rid of the stock rom and put a new one on... Are those 3 apps that I have good enough? Or do I need another app? I did a batch back up with titanium backup. Now to put a new rom, I guess I press certain buttons, then get the new rom from the sd card with rom manager, then when my phone is turned back on, go back to titanium backup and restore everything? A little shaky about all of this, I just want to get it straight before I brick my phone. Thanks

You got it pretty much right except when it comes to TiBu, especially with moving from Rom to Rom, you'd want to restore apps only, not data.
Make a nandroid backup, play with TiBu. If it mess anything at all, restore your nandroid.
OP please keep your topic to one thread, no need to create multiply threads regarding the same topic. This thread will remain open, other threads of yours closed, Thank You.
Ok, I'm rooted and backing up like crazy. But I was wondering if you could batch backup selected apps, like games? Things that you would want to restore data to. Or even select what apps to restore data to when restoring from a batch backup of all apps? Otherwise the only way would be to is to individually backup the ones you want to data for.
Thank you

think i've figured out a method of attack
ok, my plan.
Back up all the apps i think i need to back up for whatever reason.
Then do a back up of everything in one batch file, that way I have something to go back to the original way. hopefully won't have to.
Install a rom, and go about intalling what i want from the backups. think there may be some i won't need to install from the back up, can just do it from the play store.
guess i'll find out.
solved
just tried the batch back up. i see you can select the apps and stuff you want to back up. got it now.
Just remember to never restore system apps from one ROM to another. Batch backup on Titanium is only available on the Pro version, I believe. I bought it so long ago, hard to remember "not" restoring /backing up in batches!

Yes, batch is only in the pro version. Are the system apps displayed in red, or what color? also, when backing up the stock rom, what partitions should I select? I saw Ohmster said in his guide, when backing up the rom you install to not select the webtop and cache. I selected all of them, android secure(i think), cache, data, webtop, and there was another (5 partitions all together). And I forgot to enable compression. Plan on doing it again later tonight before I flash a rom.
Thank you
System apps are displayed in red on TiBu. When I plan on using a new ROM, I go to TiBu and do a "backup all user apps and system data".
Then I boot to safestrap recovery, and back up the entire ROM. Everything. If I don't have room, I delete older backups, as I have them on PC. Then I either make a new slot or wipe current one to install new ROM. After new ROM boots, I use TiBu to batch restore apps with out data first, then apps with data. Not all apps need data restored, such as Internet based games like words with friends. I just reinstall that, and fix my preferences from the app.
Then I use TiBu to batch move apps to SD card.
Titanium Backup on Lollipop
It seems like TB 6.1.5.6 can't get root right on Android L. I have no problem with KK. Anyone have got this problem like me?

Titanium Backup on Lollipop
Okay. I've flashed the newest version of SuperSU. But your Titanium version needs to be >= 6.2 to work properly on Lollipop (CyanogenMod Unof 01-24).
