Can someone explain this to me? I've done a search and read through the Titanium Backup FAQ and guide and am still a little unclear
I currently have ver. 1.0 of a ROM on my phone. I use Titanium Backup to do a full backup.
I do a clean wipe and install ver. 1.5 of a ROM on my phone. If I use Titanium Backup and do a full restore of "missing apps + system apps+, will Titanium Backup overwrite any changes that were made between v1.0 and v1.5 of the ROM?
Should I be doing a missing app restore on the clean ROM and then just manually configuring all the other system settings / homescreens? If that's the case, is there any way to specifically backup the homescreen configuration? I'd like to do a clean wipe between all ROM installs, but sometimes it's a PITA to set up all the folders and homescreens again.
Thanks!
don't restore system apps. system apps reside in /system/app and usually are replaced only when you flash a rom. so you could overwrite rom updates with an older version.
Any suggestions for backing up homescreen configurations without having to switch to an aftermarket launcher?

What's the name of the application that holds the data? I can't find any app listed under "desktop" in Titanium Backup. Am I missing something?

Might as well back up SMS/mms/apn if you are not on google voice

Thanks...added that one too. It never bothered me too much not having those on a new wipe, but now that I know how to do it, I'll keep them all.

I've seen countless threads extolling the virtues of rooting your Streak. I haven't read through every post in every one of those threads. One of the things I've seen touted is that you can remove the carrier installed bloatware to tidy up the phone. What I haven't seen is a description of how to perform these removals. Does the option to uninstall suddenly appear when you open "Manage Applications" where it wasn't there before? Do you have to delete folders and perform some arcane ritual? I'm sure it is outlined somewhere. If someone could supply a link, that would be terrific.
Thank you.
there are many ways, but this is easiest:
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.baole.rootuninstall&rdid=org.baole.rootuninstall
use this
this is the one i use. it works very well. do be careful what you remove though. i have removed everything DELL on mine and Swype as well. make sure you install a launcher and set it as the default launcher before you uninstall the dell one. best of luck and have fun with your crazy super fast dell streak. i love mine.......

I like to use an app that can freeze the unwanted app so I can test the result and reverse the process if I need or want to.
I use Titanium Backup, but there are other options.

i use bloat freezer works great on my streak and cappy
I would recomend this one too Root uninstaller:
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.baole.rootuninstall&feature=search_result
You can also see the apps I have removed with no issues at all.
I used Titanium Backup to remove all the Dell crapware that was installed, also Swype and StageUI.
I'm a bit concerned that if I have to do a full wipe, that there may be issues, but I made backups before I wiped them.
Can anyone put my mind at ease?
Anyone else have this issue? To install the new market I had to use my system app remover, and I wonder if that's what went wrong. I have the AT&T 2.3.4 rom and am (obviously) rooted, unlocked bootloader, yada yada yada...
When I click an app or game it will go through the screens until I hit "Install" and then pops up this:

Any suggestions? Or does anyone have an APK of the original market I can install? I think it was listed as vending or android.vending or something like that.
(Note to self: back things up before removing them = )
Once I backup my market i will post link. backing up now.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WTRCI35D
Its the vending.apk should revert you back to working market
try if dont work let me know.
Just use the app manager to uninstall the update. That's what I did to get back to the old version.

Thanks, market looks like old one, but now I get force close more frequently, after clicking pretty much anything. Like as soon as I click "Games" at the top I have force close now. I must have removed something important when I uninstalled the old market... I don't use the market enough to really care that it's gone though, and any app that I find there I could just sideload I guess. If it bothers me enough I'll just re-flash. Thanks for the help guys.
flash 2.3.4 system.img via fastboot just the system should fix it
I had to do that once or twice
Thanks I'll try that right now, just backing up all my apps and stuff. I'll try just flashing system, and then won't restore the market app when I restore backups if it works. I'll post back results in case this happens to anyone else.
Update: Flashing just system worked like a charm, still have all my apps and all too! Thanks for the suggestion Xenocyde!
If I understand the following function in SGS2 correct, google servers back up my application data wifi Passwords and other settings in cloud on their servers.

If this is actually correct, then I dont even need an app like Titanium backup and wouldnt have to think twice about installing a new ROM since all my app data and personal settings will be restored automatically.
But after installation of a new ROM (with wipe data/factory reset) google account downloads and installs all my apps from the market but does not also restore the app data along with it. I noticed even my wifi passwords are not restored since I had to give passwords again, after the new rom was intalled, in order to access my wifi network.
I am on UnNamed 2.1.1.
Am I missing something? Your help appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
yes in my experience it has never saved any of my WIFI settings or app data. Its pretty misleading on Google's part that they back up everything. Also if there is any sort of interruption in the app download from the market then all hope of getting those app back are lost and you have to manually download them (I had that happen a couple of times).
It is misleading and some ROMs also disable the auto restore function. Definitely get titanium backup. Just be careful restoring system data. Usually best to only restore missing apps with data.

titanium backup has never saved my wifi connections or passwords when I tell it to, why not?
"Wi-Fi Access Points" no?
sorry for the noob question, tried to search, couldn't find anything related.
i've been trying out the different roms to see which one i like. Is there any tips, process or app to use to speed up setting phone, like configuring your emails, contacts, etc...
thanks
Backup your user apps with titanium backup, then do a batch restore user apps. I use gosms to backup my messages.
Also if you use nova or apex launcher then do a backup with those apps.
All of my contacts are merged with Google so when i sync my gmail account all my contacts are already on my phone.
Hope this helps, happy flashing!

the only things that can be setup to speed up the configuring process is in the sms/call log/apps backup restores. You don't want data restoring going from rom to rom, and I've yet to find an app that will restore widgets to the pages that you had them previously.
sms backup and restore= sms/mms backup
call log backup and restore= call log list
my backup or titanium backup= apps backup
I know it's not much but to maintain the way your homescreens are setup from rom to rom would require you maintain your data intact and that will give you nothing but issues/bugs, because data from a rom won't behave correctly in the next, this is why all roms suggest a full wipe before a flash.

Looks like its spinning cause it's searching thru the emulator (SDCARD0) should be searching thru SDCARD. See if you can get to settings and click on preferences, then second set is the backup folder location. Click it, set search whole device, tthen when it's done select use current device. Hopefully this help.
