I changed my status car icons on my stock rom with my milestone x2. is there anyone who can help me get my stock icons back.
If you have a back up go into recovery restore, advance restore, restore system should be all good if not you might have to reflash the rom. I don't use programs for my edits I like to do edits I like messing it up myself this is how I restore my mistakes.
I have been using various flavours of XXLSJ and one time or another have required restoring my nandroid backup. Funny thing is that when I do a nandroid restore, it does not really restore the image like it was before. Example is if I changed my battery icon from green to blue and then decided it was not for me. When I try to flash a mod that would get me back to green it does not work. So then I decide to do a nandroid restore and after restore, my statusbar has not been restored like when I backed it up. Still blue battery. Ha ha. It appears the systemui.apk was not backed up and the restore actually does not replace the preload folder or am I wrong.
I think that because of the file structure of the leaked XXLSJ it has a preload folder where all the system files go. And when I changed my battery to blue, I had to replace my systemUI.apk which was in the preload folder. My question is: Does nandroid backup actually backup the preload folder? Or does it just back up the system folder which contains links to the actual apps? This is the only answer I can think of. Guys I am sure you had this experience. I am using PHILZ kernel if that helps since this is the only kernel currently working with the leaked rom. Anybody care to comment? Hope we get some answers.
I have had the same problem, one time I make a backup then tried a mod I didn't like restored the backup but it was only partially reverted. Some new features persisted will some did revert.
So the backup system definitely needs updated to deal with the preload partition.
Hello everyone, I was just wondering if I have a nandroid of a specific ROM with many mods, a theme, etc.. and then changed this and now currently on a completly other Rom.
The question is, do I just simply restore nandroid and everything will work perfectly? No FC or other issues? I mean do I have to clear data or format or do something before, or just simply restore and it will be as smooth as it was before?
Thank you very much for your time.
I think you can just restore without wipe, but let someone more experienced answer this in more proffesional way

A simple restore will restore everything from your nandroid and nothing more. Any mods or changes you've made, files, folders, or apps you've added, or ROMs you've flashed after the backup was made won't be present. So yes.. just restore your backup and you'll be exactly where you left off!

You misunderstood me. I customized a rom the way i want, with all the mods i want, icons, themes etc.. Now i made a nandroid after i finished all the customization.
The question is, i want to make another rom customized also but differently, and then if i didnt like the new customization, can i just normally restore my old backup and all my mods, customization, theme will come back with no issues?
Thanks for your time

Maybe I worded it wrongly but yes. Just restore and you won't have to worry about any issues.. Theme, mods, customization will all be back with no issues

Restoring the backup will literally restore the phone state exactly - including everything, apps, data, settings, mods
I just want to pre-define things like animations speed, lockscreen wallpaper and Navbar buttons on my ROM. What i know is that this info is on a nandroid backup but what files are the ones that store the data of the system settings on the data partition? I tried include some obvious files like the ones on /data/data/com.settings.android but it didnt work, so i think something else must be included too in order to make it work like when you restore the nandroid back up... any ideas?
Greetings,
I'm loving my GS4 so far and I've gotten it rooted and just wiped data and flashed gruesomewolf_sacs_custom_rom.
My question for ya'll (and forgive me if this is in the wrong place) but how do you handle going quickly and easily between ROMs without brain damage?
What I mean by this is yes I did a Titanium backup and SMS backup before I flashed the new ROM however you still have SO much to restore after you flash a new ROM. I'm the kinda guy who tweaks all my settings, widgets, ringtones and such just the way I like them and I hate when I have to do that all over again. So yes, I am able to restore apps, and some data from the Titanium backups but I still have to go back through and set all my ringtones and all my widgets and settings within certain apps all over again.
That's probably just the name of the game and I need to get used to it if I plan on flashing new ROMs but I'm just wondering what's the easiest way to back the most up and get the most restored?
Thanks for all your input!
I felt the same way as you when I switched ROMs. It was such a pain to reload everything customize it the way you had it before.
My solution was simply use TitaniumBackup prior to flashing the next ROM and Batch backup all the apps and app data that you will want.
TitaniumBackup also has a Batch Restore function. So I just use that function after flashing the ROM. I think it can also restore designated ringtones as long as you back up that system file that contains the ringtone selection. Unfortunately, I'm not sure which one that is.

Thanks for the reply! Yeah that's kind of what I'm doing, I guess I'll need to explore Titanium Backup a bit more. I'm curious if it actually backs up and can restore system settings as well. It does a pretty decent job of backing up apps + data but I never know if when doing a restore if I should restore the system data as well because it could be different from ROM to ROM.
Thanks for the advice!
