it would just be alot less time consuming when flashing ROM's to have screens and folders saved. If possible would very much appreciate enlightenment.
thanks

If you use titanium backup you can backup "sense desktop" which will save your screen setups.

Open titanium, click on the backup/restore tab at the top, scroll down prob about half way until you see desktop htc sense, click and backup. When you flash a new rom follow the same process except click restore instead of backup. Restoring your screens can cause issues when flashing between completely different roms but most of the time causes no issues.

I use GO-LAUNCHER EX > and every thing is cool....The best there is!
but every time I change a Rom > after I Restore screen configuration >> the widgets are Not included , and I have to reinstall them one by one
Is there a way to backup/Restore the screen widgets???
.
No, it's an android limitation that widgets and locations can't be backed up and restored, that we hope will be fixed with ics

Not possible to Restore after flashing a new ROM but with Desk Migrate you can copy widgets from this launcher to that.
What about using Titanium backup and back up both the app and the data? It might work

Titanium backup restores the settings but you only get an error loading widget where the widget used to be.

Go Backup & Restore claims to have the feature, but it's buggy and doesn't always work half the time ya get the same "Problem Loading Widget Error" I've tried everything from copying my existing Go Launcher folder to my sd card and restoring it upon new rom install and it only worked one time then never worked again.
And you necroed a 2yr+ old thread to say that, eh (which everybody worked out around the time that thread was created) ?
So I just installed bamf forever 1.0.4 and the new lock screens that have the 4 shortcut icons at the bottom aren't appearing. So basically the lock screen just has the time and nothing else.. sorry if this isn't specific enough. Thanks for any help in advance!

Did you go to settings/personalize/lock screen and choose a new lock screen? the settings for choosing your shortcuts are there...

Ya I tried that it still didn't change anything. It used to work, I'm not sure what I could have done to mess it up
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
Hmm... By "mess it up" I will assume that means you didn't mod your rom or do any 'experimenting' either. If so, I got nuthin. Other than post this on the thread for your custom rom dev and see if they can help you there. Other than that, I'd say revert to your last back up you made of your phone.
However, if you DO come up with a solution, post it here. I'd like to know! Good luck!

If you use Titanium Backup you should be able to save all apps to reload after your wipe. Haven't used it yet myself, but I have seen many posts on this site saying to use this app for just that purpose...

Am using dolphin HD now. Whenever i "close" it with the home button and open up another app. I go back to dolphin and the webpages are being reloaded? i remember iPhone doesnt do this unless it really runs out of memory. Now, i have a tweak on my rom that doesnt let my ram drop below 200mb. Any ideas why this is happening?

No it's not safe.
Download and install nova, apex etc. launcher before you do that.
Heh your SIII won't boot without a launcher. That happens
It's just like a windows computer without windows installed

I've already backed up my nandroid. Say if that happens. I just have to flash the backup via CWM and all will be fine?

In theory yes, but I haven't tried. I don't understand why you don't install another launcher before you delete TW launcher? Why would you try to run your SIII without a launcher installed?

yep, if you've done everything right, the nandroid should restore your phone.
i don't know which rom you are using so copy and backup the nandroid to your computer.
(some roms delete the sd-card when formatting)
OK deleted my touchwiz with nova installed. Worked fine. Hope the ram usage goes down though. Still am seeing the touch wiz lock screen..

No, you are just seeing the system lock screen. Touchwiz, for the most part, on the GSIII, is just a launcher. A lot of the other things you see are other parts of the ROM.
Freezing Toucwiz with Titanium Backup would have been a better choice that deleting it.

Well, doing a nandroid restore now. Gonna freeze it instead. Thankfully i did a backup.
Hi all,
Is there a way to backup the Sense Launcher Icons/Folder/Widgets besides using another launcher like Go, Nova, or Apex?
I found a post somewhere that says to backup "launcher.db" in /Data/Data/com.android.launcher/databases but I could not find com.android.launcher/databases on the ROM i've installed.
I hate having to redo my icons/folders/widgets when installing a ROM and having to do a full wipe.
I have Titanium Backup but I've read from some posts that suggests not using it for this purpose.
Thanks for any suggestion..
I can't confirm if backing up the data base will work but I know that e.s. file explorer will get you there. Install it give it root permissions and go back it up.
No. Unless you do a full NANDROID backup, everything will reset. Hornet, if you use any launcher other than sense, you will retain everything.

When i switch roms I restore all my apps then i go into tb there is a green high lighted backup that says HTC Sence desktop hit restore data on that and all my folders and icons and most widgets restore back to where they were, the only widgets that don't never restore for me is power control and power amp for some reason.
Don't forget to go in tb and back it up before you wipe all your data.

I used to use titanium then switched to my backup pro and have great results obviously as long as I am using the same ROM or base to backup the screens etc. I switched to nova and that backup restore works great again for using on the same ROM or base.

and thinking about flashing to build 20121107
is there any risk of data wipe.
Thanks in advance.
Do you mean like apps, or your sdcard? You can make a nandroid backup if you mean apps.

i meant apps. i guess i will do a backup and see what happens, thanks
BTW i have a weird bug on my current build, if the screen lock is on (PIN), the home button stops working. i dont know if this has been experienced by someone else, it drove me crazy until i figured it out.
Thanks for all your efforts FE.
