Can anyone confirm that it will restore both apps AND data when making the switch from 2.2 to 2.3? I had problems restoring data on CM7 using Ti-Bu. Apps would restore fine, but apps+data would fail every time. I'm just wondering if I'm looking at the same scenario here, or if it was possibly failing on CM7 due to something beyond my current understanding (possibly that my data backups were made on comm rom, which is touchwiz based, and the data backups therefore wouldn't be compatible with AOSP?). Any help would be appreciated, thanks =)

Don't think it's ever a good idea to restore data across any changes on the os.
But if your using the gb leak then you can't have had it for to long meaning you have little to lose by trying. Worst case your just reflashing costing you an extra hour at most.

TiBu works fine with the GB leak. I restored apps w/data. Just not system data.
Thanks much guys, I haven't flashed it yet, I just wanted to get a little preliminary info first

Okay so I'm obviously new.. I flash many roms but it is so annoying that I always have to back up my apps with astro file manager but is there an easier was of backing up all my apps and everything else on the previous ROM so i don't have to through that extra crap to get everything perfect like my previous ROM.

Assuming you are rooted since you are flashing that many ROMs, don't most people use Titanium Backup? Has a batch mode to back up all system data and user apps... then I restore the ones I want.

Agreed. Titanium Backup can be downloaded for free from the Market and can be used to back up your apps to your SD card for later restoration.
+3 on Titanium Backup. Well worth the six bucks or so that it costs. Itll restore market links and apps alike. Theyve even got an auto restore feature. The free version is nice, but nothing beats the 0 click restore of the pro version.
Ti doesn't install data correctly on sense 3.0 roms. Just food for thought.

How so? Works perfectly on my end and Im on Synergy with 3.0 sense. Whens the last time you updated? 3.8.8.1 pro restores everything I need back to where it belongs and Ive not had any issues on that front.

Your lucky as many others have had issues restoring data (not system data, just app data) including me. Yes, I was on the latest release.
EDIT...
I use (my backup pro) now and it's been flawless for restoring apps and app data.

This is the first Ive heard about it to be honest. What ROM are you on? Perhaps try another one? Us Synergy users arent having any issues with this.

Quick question, I searched but just want to be sure. I recently come over to ics but might want to go back to stock with root. Will doing a nandroid backup take me there if that's when I did it?

I suggest flashing UnNamed if you want a stock rom feel & look with a few extra benefits.
Also ShoStock but its more beefy with nice additions but still stock base.

Flashing a ROM is like having sex.
The first time it's scary and you're apprehensive, there are so many positions (tools) and objectives (methods), and so much you want to get right...and then you realize, hey, it's all about what feels natural (once you get through the process, everything makes sense)...or unnatural...in a good way.
Then, your 2nd and third time are nearly as fun as the first, and after a while, it become second nature.
It's also like sex in another way...because if you don't use protection (a nandroid & titanium backup) your bound to have an "accident" (lose your data, or worse, brick your phone) and end up with a mini-you, or some tropical disease.
Epic analogy.
+10 analogy!

So, question
I never really found a good resource for explaining this, so to test some assumptions:
I made a nandroid backup of my rooted gingerbread. If I restore from backup (not that I intend to) all will magically go back to that state, right? But nandroid just backs up the system, apps would need to be put back. Settings for apps fixed, etc.
But titanium backup does all your apps and setting, so they best work in concert. ie: restore your nandroid, restore your Ti backup, everything is the the same.
And a minor question: Can you rename backup files without screwing stuff up? Or at least their containing folder? Can I name it "Rooted Stock 6_14"?

nandroid backups DO include your apps, settings, and data at the time of the backup, so there is no need to restore anything separately or fix the settings -- unless the app or settings were added or changed AFTER you made the backup, of course
And yes, you can rename CWM backups.

Assuming your .zip flashed files didn't contain a boot loader, the Nandroid is just about as good as it gets.
I've renamed folders, but not the file itself. I normally do this after each backup because my mind goes full retard after looking at the auto generated Nandroid naming schemes.
Changing nandroid name will result in md5 checksum error.

I found a rom on this forum I want to try out, but it does not explicitly say it is for the Rezound.
However according to this site, http://tips4droid.com/top-5-custom-rom-for-htc-rezound/ , the rom is compatibile.
The Rom that was listed can be located here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964841
and is about halfway down the page, 7.0.4.
Has anyone tried this Rom on the Rezound with success?
If not this Rom then which did you have success with?
I have already done the following:
Unlock Bootloader
( http://htcdev.com )
Install Amon Ra -> SuperUser and su
( http://www.droidforums.net/forum/ht...how-permanently-root-rezound.html#post1941753 )
nandroid backup (deleted after reading about a problem with restoring S-ON)
S-OFF (the method is a pain, but it does work)
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696394 )
nandroid backup
tested nandroid backup (worked flawlessly)
So now I am looking to get Android Revolution HD running as it has stock UI and improvements.
I'm fairly certain that this is not a Rezound ROM.

I was reading somewhere that four htc models use the same GB version, and with this being sensation, which I have held in my hand and looked through, case is almost the same and the OS was similar so I am not sure if I should just try it and see or not.
What is the worst that could happen?
I have a nandroid to restore if I get into trouble, but I am still worried I may need a Stock Rom to restore that to...
Edit:

There's a whole list of roms in the dev section that work fine on the Rezound.

The worst that could happen is you brick your phone.
Be warned that GB development for the most part is dead now, CleanRom 1.7.5 and Ineffabilis 1.4 are good GB options though.
Cleanrom looks right and sounds lightweight, but the other has my attention with the extras, have you had experience with both?
Bricking is my first concern, not being able to restore stock Rom my second...
I would go with 4.0 or 4.1, but I like how the lockscreen and phone key UI look on the stock Rom and themes do not look as good...

I've used them both and they are both solid roms, I'd have to go with Ineffabilis as my favorite of the two.
Neither one is really supported any though, Scott who made CleanRom went to another phone, Chingy who made Ineffabilis is now supporting a ICS based version of the rom - Ineffabilis Deus. That's the one I currently use.
How does the UI look, is it the same as the stock as far as lock and home screen phone, button?

The GB ones are Sense 3.5 based so they look like a standard Sense 3.5 UI.

Just make sure you have a nandroid back up and you wipe all the internal filesystems before installing. If you don't like it, it's easy to wipe again and just restore your original rom. One of the great things about nandroid, it lets you try out different roms and easily revert back.
That's what I was hoping, all I backed up after I got s-off were the default items, so basically my stock Rom is safely backed up on my pc now?
Also when connected to a computer I have the same option of disk drive?

If you're s-off, the rom installer should have installed a new kernel for you. If you're familiar with fastboot, you can extract the boot.img from the rom file and flash it.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Otherwise, try installing the rom again.
