I downloaded and installed some S3 apps and all apps aren't working now like fm radio, clock,video and music player... Where I could download S2 stock apps or what I shoud do?
Go back to stock.
Flash your stock ROM through Odin.
Do you have a nandroid backup? Or a backup from titanium backup or mybackup? Then you could install your apps from there.
Otherwise you might be lucky and your missing apps are stored in the /preload dir and you could copy them over.
If that doesn't help than you have to flash your stock rom.
I don't have any backup but I will flash stock rom, thank you guys

Hi, my gs2 is rooted with CF-Root, this is the FIRST time i have done all this as im new to Android. Last night i did a nandroid backup and a titanium backup, factory/cache wipe etc before i then flashed villainrom 2.4.2 for the first time with success and now my phone is obviously like it was out of the box but on villainrom, so all my apps, contacts etc have gone.
I have a few questions:
Whats the best way to restore everything and get my contacts and apps etc back? do i have to recover with nandroid or titanium?
whats the difference between these 2 backups i made, nan/titan?
also does recovering any of these backups affect the custom rom i just flashed? ideally i would like to know for when im flashing custom roms in the future, which is the best way to back things up then recover them after i have flashed a custom rom?
One last thing is can i still use samsung kies to backup/sync things like contacts/photos with a rooted gs2 running villainrom?
Sorry for these noob questions, any help is really appreciated! THX!
Sorry to post again but can anybody adivise me on the above?
Thanks.
A nand backup = backup your current setup, like an image (including ROM)
Titanum = backup apps +/ data
Now that you flashed a new rom, you should restore with Titanium your apps.
So - If you want to go back to your earlier ROM + everything, use your nand back up. If you want to stay on this ROM and have the apps back, use Titanium.
And once you flashed a custom rom, you can't use Kies anymore to update/back up etc.
Cheers
Right i wasnt fully sure so thx for the help, time to restore some apps!
Thanks again
Hi, i've got myself a new SGS2 a month ago (first android phone) and i rooted it with CF-ROOT yesterday.
Im running Android 2.3.3 with KF3 kernel, and my question is if i can try out CyanogenMod by using "Restore" in CWM, and go back to my own stock ROM when i please ? Will all of my settings and apps save when i'll jump back to stock ? i did a backup already (backup of apps and data aswell separately) and wanted to make sure before doing anything. Oh and, when i'll install CyanogenMod, will i be able to restore my apps AND all data (photos, videos, random files) on it ?

Yes it is possible to switch between the stock rom and cyanogen.
That's how I use it.
I have a backup of my stock rom and another with cyanogen on it.
Normally I use the stock rom. After a few new nightlies I make a new backup of my stock rom and restore my cyanogen rom. Then I update cyanogen to see what changed and if it is ready to be used as my daily rom. If it's not I perform a backup of my updated cyanogen and restore my stock rom.
And so on until Cyanogen is good enough.
Things like photos, video, music etc should be fine (which doesn't mean a backup isn't a good idea some people lost their pictures at the beginning.)
You could backup/restore your apps with Titanium Backup. But I wouldn't recommend it. It's better to start from a nice and clean source without old rubbish.

just remember your original kernel and ROM.. other than that everything should be fine. Always backup your backup lol
In preparation for installing Task's ROM, I have rooted my Tab 10.1 and backed everything up using Titanium. I have a couple questions about how the backup works.
The installation instructions for the Task ROM recommend that a stock version of the Samsung ROM be acquired and stored in a safe place. I have been unable to find a down-loadable version of 3.2 for the 7510 so I am wondering if restoring my backup would accomplish the same thing as restoring 3.2 from a copy?
The second question has to do with data and settings from some of my apps. I use the Dolphin browser and spent a lot of time organizing all of my bookmarks into folders created inside the Dolphin app. If after upgrading to the Task ROM, I restore the Dolphin browser from Titanium, will my bookmarks be restored in their newly organized state?
Finally, the instructions for the Task upgrade recommend wiping the Tab after installing the ROM. If I do this, will my Titanium backup files be wiped as well? If so, how will I do the restore? Should I store the Titanium backup on another device and move the files back to the Tab after doing the Task upgrade?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Your TB Backups will be safe. If you restore Apps with data, you should get all app settings restored, but its not always the way.
When I rooted, I created a backup in cwm of my stock Tom (no need to download one now)
To install a custom rom, boot into recovery, create a backup, do a full wipe (factory reset) and then flash the new rom (install from zip)
Then reboot, let it load up (can take a while)
Then restore your TB apps and data (be warned some apps may cause issues with force closing, but so far I've had no issues)

Hello, everyone.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and would like to install a custom rom on it, but before I do that, I need some clarification about backup, just in case I feel a need to change back to the default rom.
I downloaded and purchased Titanium Backup and did a ''Backup all user apps + system data'' on it, this is saved on both my SD card and on my PC.
I also downloaded ROM Manager and did a backup via the Recovery mode, this is saved on both my SD card and on my PC as well.
My question is, if I now download and install a custom rom on my phone but end up not liking it, will I be able to use this backup to get my phone to the exact state as it is in now? All my apps, contacts, settings etc?
Thank you.
you can restore everything back to the way it was except the modem. so if u do flash a different fw and want to go back take Note of modem and when u restore old Rom flash back modem via recovery and all should be good

I had taken the titanium backup in stock rom. Now I have installed some other rom which is lagging I want my stock rom back. So can I use the same titanium backup
I don't think so. I believe Titanium Backup if for apps only.
We cant
They're correct. This is why it's always suggested to make a backup in your custom recovery - called a nandroid. Otherwise you'll have to install the stock firmware and re-root.
