Instal a cf-root from chainfires thread, then install titanium backup. You can then uninstall or freeze the apps.

What the poster before me said should work, but keep in mind that freezing/uninstalling system apps COULD lead into problems.

First custom firmware on this phone

Hi there. Im going to try the litening Rom tonight. But Im worried about exactly what kind of data loss i will experience. Apps? Contacts? Etc.
Also. Can i just follow the tutorial on the custom Rom thread. Or do i need to root before hand. Or will odin do everything.
Many thanks for any answers

ODIN will do everything. The rom, the apps, the root, everything.
You will lose your apps, unless you back them up with something like Titanium Backup from the market, you can always download them again though. But that will make you lose your settings.
Contacts are stored on your google account, http://contacts.google.com, you can manage them at the site by the way.
Once you installed your new rom, you can login using your gmail and your contacts will be restored.
I didn't think titanium worked on unrooted devices?
thanks for your reply. What about stock Rom?

Follow the instructions to root your device if you want Titanium pro to backup apps .
Follow instructions on the individual custom rom page to install a rom .
If instructions say use Odin use Odin if they say use CWM use that dot make your own rules up .Dont start until you know what you are going to do and in what order .

[Q] Returning to official SE-rom, how to keep app-data?

I`m going to reinstall the official rom on my X10(because of gingerbread)
My question is how can i keep my app-data(like achievement in Angry Birds)?
I use titanium backup now, but i can`t use that app with stock rom right, is there any other programs like titanium that do not require root?
Sorry no there isnt a way for non rooted phones

Installing apps then rooting

I have been installing a few apps and now im questioning if I am going to have to install these apps again after I root this phone? Those of you that have rooted your phone, have you have to install your apps again?
Thanks!
No.
From your question it would appear you are new to rooting. It does not mess with the installed apps; it provides more access to the OS so you can do more.

Rooting will only give root access, but changing the kernel will force you to format your phone?

Y'all answer my question and more, thanks!!

What to do once rooted.

Just to ensure I am not missing out on anything.
I have made use of root by doing the following :
- Backed up apps before flashing Rom with titanium backup.
- Freeze unwanted apps with titanium.
- Installed ad free to remove ads.
- Load custom roms and kernels etc ( I did this on my s2. not bothered on s3 yet as only had it a few days.
I think that's all I've done with root. What else have people done?

Nothing as root is a method of opening the OS to a lower level than standard .
If an app requires root privileges its used if not it isn't .

Yeah I understand that. What apps have you used or tweaks made with root?
Is there something about improving audio?

In the first post, there is a Quick Root Guide.
For you old firmware, the second (DooMLoRD's zergRush exploit) method might still work.
That is very easy and will not increase the flash counter.
Good luck.
P.S.: As your firmware is very old, you really should consider to flash a newer ROM. Maybe you should create a complete system backup in CWM recovery (=> nandroid backup) after rooting. Then flash a new ROM. And if it does not work or you don't like it, you can restore the backup again to go back to your current system.
As soon as you are rooted, you can use Mobile Odin app to flash other stock firmware versions and/or custom kernels without increasing the flash counter.
Does this erase any memory in my mobile?

Rooting wont erase anything, but flashing a new firmware/rom will. Won't erase your pictures, music etc but will delete your apps, contacts and messages. You can always make a backup of your contacts and messages using apps like SMS backup+
Once your rooted, you can make a backup of your apps with titanium backup.
This is a very common doubt.Search the forums for more information.
