Just wondering......
I'm on simply honey 5.1 and have been updating with it's no wipe script. I'm curious in trying MIUI and Cm7. I just wanna know if I could restore with a cwm backup, and get ask my apps back without having to do a titanium backup.
thanks!

I believe you can but you if you go to CM7 or MIUI, you will have to odin back to stock if you want to revert to anything else. But from there you won't be able to just restore your CWM backup because CWM does not backup the kernel. Best thing to do then is to flash any GB rom to get back to GB kernel. Then you can restore your CWM backup.
Anyone correct me if this is not the case.
But wool all of my market apps still be installed thru the cwm restore? Even if the ROM I switch to wipes?

Yeah the CWM backup backs up your current config exactly as it is (*except the kernel). So if you end up restoring, it should be right back to the way it was when you backed up.

If I flash a new rom and then do an advanced restore and restore data, does this restore my apps + data on clockwork recovery?
I tried searching the cw page on xda as well as the reg cw page n couldn't find It.
I know I can restore apps via other methods but nandroid would be better for me. TIA

I would recommend Titanium Backup over anything else. Its simple and gets the job done. I posted a guide in this forum which wil walk you through the process to backup and recover from backup.
I have been doing Advanced Nandroid Data Restore ever since I learned what a Nandroid backup was, on every ROM, and I almost never get forced closes, or any issues that I can think of. I am posting my method over in The XDA Fascinate area, but I think the devs cleaning up the ROMs is what makes this work so well.
I do that advanced restore data method when upgrading to the same type of rom. Such as Bionix 1.2.1 to Bionix 1.3.1 to Bionix NextGen1 to Bionix NextGen2, etc. Never had a problem.
Does anyone have a CWM backup they made on a stock phone before flashing a P-ROM or theme?
I forgot to make a backup. But figure any backup from a similar Atrix should work.
Trading nandroid backups is dangerous..I have heard.
Nandroid backups are only good to restore to the SAME sbf that you are running, since they don't do a full system backup. If you do a CWM restore onto a different rom version than the one you backed up with, it will cause issues.
As far as trading nandroid backups............ain't gonna happen.
Nandroid backups contain personal information, such as account info and passwords and SHOULD NOT BE SHARED WITH ANYONE for that reason.
If you want to go back to stock, flash the sbf

Hi
I am about to install Villain rom 2.1 onto my GS2. As per instructions, I have backed up using the app that got installed by the cf root called CWM.
I would lose all my setting etc when I install the rom right? If I want to get it back while keeping the villain rom do i restore from CWM. And will this keep the root and the custom rom.??
Thanks. Please help. ASAP
Yes you will lose your settings, and app data, if you want to save it, use titanium backup and backup user Apps and data.
You can restore anything in white or green, but items in red will most likely cause problems
The backup you made is a nandroid backup which if you restore you will restore your whole old rom.
As far as root, cf root will auto root, and villainrom is rooted so you can just install the superuser app from the market.

You mean on the homescreens etc? Depending on the launcher, you can try backing up twlauncher and restoring it after you flash, but it may not work, so take a nandroid backup before you try.

I did a nandroid backup on stock GB. If I flash an ICS rom and do not like it, can I restore the GB backup or do I first have to flash a GB ROM? If yes, does it have to be the same stock version I did the backup on?

Do a full wipe\format and then restore the GB backup. You should be fine.
I made Nandroid backup on stock rooted rom touchwiz and another backup om CM10. can I go back and forth between both roms with just restoring my backup??
so on Cm10 restore touchwiz backup, and done
and on touchwiz, restore the cm10 backup, and done
will that work
Check my posts in my profile for info

Yes you can, just remember your data won't be up to date, but that is minor problem....nearest thing to dual boot at the moment, I do this myself
