Um. What? If you do a full wipe, what magic process do you expect to install your apps for you?
then what's the point in backing up the data

You can back up all you apps with TB, flash new rom, restore you apps with TB. Good luck

Not sure you understand... if you do a CWM backup, that is basically taking a snapshot of your entire phone image. Firmware, apps and their data, contacts, the whole kit and kaboodle. From there, you can restore the backup if you bork your phone provided you can still get to CWM recovery.
Your Google account will track what apps you have installed officially through the Play Store (formerly known as the Android Market), and it might even re-install some or all of them for you (depending on the version of market/play store you have after your full wipe), but it won't retain your app data. So if you do this, you'll lose all your Angry Birds high scores, in other words. That may or may not be a big deal to you.
As 078gregory said, you can use TB (Titanium Backup) to back up and restore app data.
just want to add.. CWM backup does not backup kernel or modem... it does backup the gps patch and other patches tho...
Yes. It does backup kernel. I restored my GM/Siyah CWM backup on Sunday after trying CM9 for a few days and my kernel was most definitely restored. You are correct about the modem tho.

this the first time i'm using Rom Manager Premium and I'v just got an update saying there's a new update for my Progect V rom.
basically every time there's a new version of this rom, i'm doing a clean install which erases all my data.
how basically Rom Manager updates roms? is it doing a clean install or just installing on top? and is it a safe way to update?
EDIT: another question, will it erase all my data while updating?
thanks.
Well i dont use project V rom on rom manager premium, but i do use cm7 nightlies on rom manager premium. On cm7 when u get a update they ask u 3 things:
back up rom
wipe dalvik
wipe data
so download it and see, it probably goes through the same steps of cm7.
is it overall a safer way of flashing roms than using CWN recovery?

There's a difference between the CM7 nightlies and the Samsung roms that are for the galaxy s. A wiping rom vs non wiping is up to the rom maintainer, and there really isn't a way around it.
Get titanium backup pro (the paid version as it allows batch backing up and restoring) and backup your user apps, then you're good to go no matter what type of rom it is.

Hi,
I installed CM 7.2.0-RC3
I would like to play around with some other ROMs
My questions are:
1) Any recommendations for some good ROMs? Specially ICS ROMs
2) Should I follow the exact same process as I did with CM (I used ROM Manager and ticked all the boxes - clear dalvik, clear something else etc)
3) I noticed that nandroid does not generate a single zip like flashing ROMs. How do I restore and why would I used this option if I can just re-flash ROM?
Thanks!!!

1. Joker's ICS ROM, Neutrino CM7 ROM, and NottachTrix4G GB ROM
2. Don't use ROM manager to flash ROMS, use a recovery ROM racers ect..
3. For nandroid, I personal do this. I do a backup of a ROM. And when I want to flash the ROM I flash the ROM itself, no Gapps or anything and then I restore the ROM with the nandroid backup.
Hope I answered your questions alright.

I would agree with #1 and #2.
For #3 I would recommend a nandroid backup, then verify the backup before you reboot to make sure it is good. No need IMO to flash the original ROM when restoring from a nandroid. Much more important to do a full wipe first, then just flash your nandroid backup.

ROM Manager is fine as long as you have good experience with your recovery image. It exists for a reason.

AOKP is also a really good ROM. You should check it out.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium HD app
Well, if ROM manager does the job I think I will use it. I'm assuming it's simply building a script that does everything that's needed.
I really don't have any experience with recovery
As for backups, I think I will simply use Titanium for my Apps and Data. Everything else I need is backed up on Google so I should be fine
Thanks everyone!!!
OK, download gapps from:
http://www.jokersax.com/developer-pages/jokersax/cm9-gapps/
and aokp from http://d-h.st/e7A
Are these ok?
Can I simply go ahead and install through ROM Manager?
Gapps from here
http://goo.im/gapps
*Edit*
Actually I think that AOKP zip comes with gapps as an option in it.
And it doesn't matter if you use ROM manager or not.

Well.... Actually nandroid backup is better than titanium or other things in case you got softbrick after flashing.

U need to perform a full wipe and flash the ROM. Don't worry about the kernel because each ROM cones packaged with a kernel.

You will lose all your apps and personal settings because you need to do a full wipe. You have to back up your apps with titanium backup and restore them after you install shostock3.

the others have covered the method. just wanted to add that if you restore from Titanium Backup and have issues with the ROM, the restored apps may be why. If you like what it has to offer, try a full wipe and reinstall apps from scratch before giving up.
Nandroid backup first!!
smsbackup + Titanium Backup = win.
Backup your launcher too if you can.

Hello everyone
I am using the sirrah kernel for dual boot, the first room is the stock touchwiz while the other is the stock android, since the room had no Google apps, I tried to flash the Google apps on the cyanogen, but I ended up flashing it on touchwiz, so now my Google apps on the touchwiz is crashing, I tried recovering them using titanium backup but it wont fix the problem. How do I solve this problem? Is there a way to unflash those Google apps?

Siyah kernel dual boot isn't worth the hassle in my opinion.
Restore your TW rom from a back up! If you made one, if not. Lesson to be learnt there!
All else failing, flash a stock rom via odin and start all over again!

A few questions;
1. What happens when you try to restore the backup?
2.What ROM are you using now?
3.What ROM were you using when you made the backup?
4.Have you performed a complete wipe since making the backup?
After you answer these i might be able to help you.

2. Im currently using omega rom

Sorry, I'm confused, you said you didn't make a wipe, but then you said you did. Please try to be clearer. Also, Ive never used either of those ROMs so it may be that their file systems are incompatible, see if the backup works on the Fusion ROM. If it does, then they probably are, if it doesn't then the backup may be corrupt.
